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 News for Suffering Women.

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.
