TOWN tire FOR CHILDREN.
VkM *
» Natural Life.
PhjrafcUtu and moralists alike am
that town life is unhealthy, unsound,
and that bat for the fact that the waste
is made good by the regular infusion of
healthy country blood, the race, os found
in the dtlra, would rapidly deteriorate.
Dr. PotliorgiU, of Condon, has recently
prepared a paper In which ho shows the
“effects of town life on the human
body,” and ho opens it with tho assertion
that thosubject is “not ono calculated to
flatter our national vanity.” He ac
counts for tho degeneracy of tho race
after tills manner.
“Prowess in knight and .peasant alike
was tho one thing to be desired. But
with tho development of commerce and
tho march of civilization, a change came
over the spirit which moves men. The
activo brain was seen to be even more
valuable than physical prowess. The in
vention of gunpowder left the stalwart
warrior shorn of much of his advantage
on the battlefield. Then the discovery of
steam completed his discomfiture. The
day of tho big man has passed away, and
given place to tho smaller, active brain
toiler. In these days of steam power,,
an acute brain and a lissome hand are
much more desirable than a brawny
arm. Tho selection of the fittest has
taken another direction in the last few
centuries.”
The injury, this writer asserts, begins
with the very existence of the child and
continues to the end. “Instead of the
quiet, monotonous life of the country,
the town child lives amid perpetual ex
citement.!’ Further, he says of precocity,
which, to the average parent, seems sc
.fill! of promise: “The physiologist looks
on it with suspicion, and the family
medical' attendant knows that such a
child is liable to tubercular meningitis
(water on the brain), and can estimate
the risks it runs in the ordinary maladies
of childhood.”
Dr. Fothergill runs counter to the
general opinion concerning food. He
says tho premature development of the
nervous system tells upon the assimi
lative oi-gans of the town child; in con
sequence ho can not digest pastries,
dumplings and cake,' and so feeds on
meat, fish and bread, which he can di
gest. Ho says:
“The disturbance of tho nutritive bal
ance by precocity lias starved the diges
tive organs. Indigestion has started an
undesirable dietary; and excess of nitro-
genized waste hosted to the reversion of
the liver to the early primitive uric acid
formation. This, in its turn, entails a
long scries of morbid sequences. ’ ’
Here is a melancholy condition, truly.
What wo ought to eat we cannot digest;
what we digest simply entails a “long
series of morbid sequences. ” We cannot
follow tho whole argument of the writer,
but we present his conclusions, which
are not altogether hopeless:
“Town life is not a natural life. - If it
has certain advantages, it also has sundry
drawbacks. The perfect development of
tho digestive organs has far reaching con
sequences, as we havc'juat seen. Knowl
edge must precede conduce. The realiza
tion of the fact that the digestive difficul
ties of town dwellers lead them to adopt
a dietary which is injurious in iter after
results, will cause them to correct it.
Already, indeed, we see many blindly
starting out on a new track in tho spread
of vegetarianism, along with the ‘Blue
Gibbon.’ In this action they have not
waited for' physiology to pronounce an
authoritative opinion; but have acted on
their own account, guided by some in
stinctive impulse. Modifications in our
food customs are required for town dwell
ers. They should have food which will
nourish them and sustain them, without
any bad after effects, and which they can'
digest. Possibly, too, before long it will
be found that some modification of the
existing scheme of education is desirable
in tho interest of the' weaker children.
Possibly, too, it may be found that little
town mites expand when restored to the
country, and can lead a more natural life
than that to which, at present, they are

Franco's Bounty for Wolves.
It is rather odd. considering the ago
and denso population of France, that that
country should bo compelled to pay boun
ties to prevent an increase in the number
of wolves, yet that is what it has been
doing for many years. In 1882 428 were
killed, in 1883, 1.31C; in 1884, 1,035; in
1885, 000, and in 1880, 700. Tho bounty
now is $40 for killing a wolf that lias at
tacked human beings, $30 for ono in
young, $20 for a male wolf, and $8 for a
cub.—Cliicago Times.
