The souses aro the gatewitys of know - lodge, and through them the child muet receme the first nourishment Eor the development of mind. The world hefull of Bomb, colors, forms and all materials which affect the senses in varying oombi. nations; but enlightened people beve out. grown the thoaglat that &Wren eimuld be lett alone and unaided to find the neonsary food for mental growth until they are • old enough to go to inahool. It, when the senses are firet awakening, their training is neglected, all efter eduontion will show a defect which (tan never be wholly • removed. There is nothing formal iu the education of the kindergarten ; everything is done in the play spirit, because ple,y is the activity • which ia natural to the earlier steges• ot meanie development. So the ohildresaie minds develop as their bodies do, without their being emulous of the process. They learn by doing and seeing. The kindergarten Gifu, with which the • children play they are building end design- ing, are the means of givieg them a know- • ledge of elementary geometry, number and forma; moth knowledge is the inevitable re• • eult of hondling them and playing with • them. There is a logieel Boatmen in the development of the Gifts,eech one contein• ing suggestions of the preceding and tore• shadowing those to come. The first consiete of six wonted balls with long strings attoched, in the three primary and the three eecondary colors. From these the youngest children gain a definite baeis for knowledge of color, direct. tion and forum All thie ia taught as the children play with the Mlle. Direction, for inetance: Front, back; right, left; up, down; they learn as they keep time to sometrythmio song, moving the bell in the (Emotion indicated by the =Mu of the song. The second Gift is a concrete illustration of a great educational law. It consists of a wooden bell, and, sharply contrasted with Mile, the cabe, and then to relate these two • opposites, the °minder, became it possesses the qualities of both. The ball is the symbol of the earth, the sue, the moon and all the heavenly bodies; the cube symbol. Mee the mineral Magdom, bemuse all the crystal forme only are modifieations of it, and the cylinder is tound to be the typical • form in the animal and vegetable worlds. When the children'a attention hap been directed to theee factit( eonie simple and • intereeting way, they are alwaya quick to observe how everythiug can he ontesified under one of these forme. One little boy, after he had been in the kindergarten a few months, suddenly discovered that his houee • was full oi oblongs, and than his hone wasn't anything but a lot of cylinders put together. • Following then itre the building GUM which are adapted to that stage of the ohild's development when he desiree to an. vestigmte and to analyze the foram which he handlee, They are oubes whieh are eubdivided ny cutting into various gs.ornet. Meal forme, and their analysis prog,ressee from the simple to the complex. The parallelopiped, ehe trim:melee prism, the square prism and the reetauguler prim are found among Mese dividens and eub. • divisions. Se in buildiett miniathre houne, borne and hotels, the children fowling in these fundamental forms pleythinge to UMLIE0 therm are only too glad to know and to remember their nem.es, &needing these Gifte are the tablets used to represeet surfaces; the sqaare, the nalt Name, the equilateral, the righteengled seatene and the obtuemangled triangles. Fellowing • these aria the steel rings, the stick nod to inclose open and the heeds to represent points. The poseibilities with the GUM are inexhaustible, and it is only neceesery to show a child a few of their possibilitiee in order to call forth his inventive fedi:My. The choice of the Gilts to band an e thorough understanding of science, and there is nothing in the world of form whiola oan be wholly nutamiliar to a child who heal:Gen trained in the kindergarten. The GUM are alao vrtluable or manual training, as most of there require skillful and delicate handling. If it is true thet . impression must precede expression, it is equally true Cam expression must follow impreesion. To learn by doing is one of the principlee of Ma kiecleremmen, and doing in an orderly and logical manner, seeing the dependence of one on another, Made to orderly and logical thinking. The occupations correepond to and follow the Gifts in their development, and are in minkture the induetries of the race. They give the child au opportunity for the expression of the iderm which he hes gained. Clay -modeling, sewing, weavieg, peper.folding, (netting and (lc -Ageing are tionupations which delight the children, Mr in them they find the tt108.08 to exprese themselves, and this lays the foundation of self-respeot, since the children eee the tangible malts they have produced by their own thought and skill. If a kinder. garten were oondnoted under ideal condi. tions, the kindergartner world spend eome part of each day with her children in the open country, near to rattan's heart, dis- covering her reecrets, observing her won• dors, cultivating in the Mildren the seeing eye, the hearing ear, and stimulating them to intelligent inquiry. TIME in itself world be laying an educational foundation deep and wide. Bat this is not often possible, so field and forest contribute their treaeures and the children are surrounded in the kindergarten by me many natural objeote ma are available, for the purpose of awakening their interest and curiosity in natural phenomena. So in the kindergarten we Mamma may find seeds eprouting, plants growing, the chrysalis waiting to txtrn into a butterfly, the 0000013 in whiela the silk caterpillar bee rolled himself away, epeoirnene of quartz and other minerals, ardi perhaps a piece of tree which grew in the coal period. About each of then things apleasant little story is told to interest and teach the chilOren, thee teetering the germ of a (scientific mind. Therm Morin are veryentertaining, and at the same time they give some ides of the climatic+ divisiono of the earth's outface And of the manners and customs of the people living in different parte of the world. Stories about animals, if judiciously told, foster in the child a love of natural history, and give him the Mote which form the grouhd work for thin Omit?. In Morise and conversatiOns with the Ohildren the kindergartner finds her best opportunitieeIbm seedmowing; for by meane of etoriee and simple experi• 'mute there ie no department of 00101400 Which cannot be einaplified and mode interesting to ohildren, and in convents- tione with them they oro led to expresil their thouglats and tanght to gammen them in correct language. The fundamental prineiple on which the method of work is based ia gound in one of Froebel'e own sentences; "It is not by teaching and imparting a mere votriety and multitude of feats that is school boatmen a school Ma the true nue), but wily by emphaeizing the living unity that is be all thing." The acorn is not Me oak, although it (tont/tine within it all the eleenente anti posibililiea of the tall grown tree, and so the kinder- garten is net e seliocil of oakum, ert or (Allies, nor the Itiodergarteer a teaoher of then thing.

The Cauadian %MOUs ia taken in the years ending with 1, to be in nomad with the British eystern. t he first British comma was taken iu 1801—tinety metre ago. The populetion ot Englend, Scotland and Wales then amounted to only eleven millions. But them was grave and far. reeohing doubt whether the world wee not being ovempopeletted. To Mae fear, indeed, and to the diseussion which followed the publication of Malthus's femme book, it is due that the iirst CellEltia Bill was con- verted into a Cerreue Ant. The result of the operation was reassuring; and it is Mill mare reentering, ninety years later, with the improved metals of computation end of travel at oar dieposal, to learn that on the 33,600,000,000 e•cree of the earth's surface there is celenlated to he merely a trifling population at 1,429,000,000—a figure which gives elbow•room of some- thing like em acres, or a small parts, to eet. h person I The fear at the end of the century is differeet from the soar° at the beginning of it. There are few econocaine now wlno regard the over -population of the world as a question worth discussing. But Caesandra's motivation is not therefore gone. What we ere now told to dread is riot that the world will have too many people on it, but thet on the best portions cif it there will be too enemy ot the wrong sort. Australia is elready on the defensive eginet the Chinese. London newspapere, affirmed at the increase of population in India, fear that in that Empire "we shall soon be tan to face with the Chinese problem of a population too thiok fur the means of estey subsistence." In America there is not only the negro question, but the fear that the "scum" of the Letin mon may prove too many for the Anglo. Saxons. In England the presence of a large and increasing foreign element is held to be a subject which at least is "ripe for inquiry." One of the most valuable results of the census is the light it will throw on this matter. The American 001.1fItle of lest yeer has done much to rob the negro question of ite worst terrors.

A correspondent at Tarapaca writes that on the morning of February 3rd upweres et 3,000 workmen collected at Pozo al Monte in order to premed to Iquique and melte a tormiti representation respecting the antraity of provisions. Shortly after they reaohed the works Manager W. John- son gave them ten barrels of Mem& and 1,000 tins of preservee, which were dim tribated among the strikers. They re- mabeed there that night and on the follow- ing day sent Home of their leaders to Negreyros. There more men were to be collected. Suddenly, however, a train appeared, loaded with Govern- ment troops under Martin Lenin. Without halting or parleying the troops opened fire on the 900 defeemlese work- men, women and children. Shortly atter. ward the forces marched forward and killed all the men. Meanwhile the men from the Negreyros works, with the cone- miseioners from Ramirez, returned to their homes, otherwise they might ielso have fallen victims. Some who enaped from the slaughter took refuge in the nitrate fields, but were subsequently followed up and killed. Atter these deeds had been committed some 890 mien were arrested, and ot this number eighteen were mum dered. The Chilian Government and the Chilian rebel authoritin have both shot several persons. Among the number wits Anibel Narango, a Government offteer, who was allot when the rebels retired from Ovalle. It is imponible to tell where theae pro. (endings will terrainate. It is stated that when the Government tomes retired from Pozo at Monte on (Jamie& they shot all the prisoners they had and destroyed all the nitrate establishmenta they passed. Posing for Artists.

Tommy Stringer, 5 years old, whose home is at Washington, Pennsylvania, is deef, dumb and blind, and though he has been to all the epecialiste in Pittsburg, it has been found impossible to restore any of his lost senses. Helen Keller, a little girl from Tusinumbies, Alabems, who is likewise deaf, dumb and blind, and is being educated at the Perkin's institution, Boston, learned some weeks ago of Tommy Stringer's ease and promptly set to work to have him sent to Boston eo that she might edumete and train him. The case was very similar to her own, and she was eo interested that elle at once decided to nut by $35, which had just been given her, as a starter for a fend to educate she little sufferer. She wzote Superin- tendent Brown, of the Pittsburg Institute, to that effect, and told him that as soon as she got enough money she was going to start to teach Tommy herself. Another gentleman, hearing of ber philanthropy, sent her $100, end she is now at Boston lending the force of her wonderful intellect to the development of little Tommy's faculties. Alexander Leggate and Louis ,Peterson agreed to see that there was no lack of money to take care of the boy properly. Headaches Cured With Islet Water and a Sponge. In case of the ordinary nervous headache from whicila women stiffer so ranch, says an authority, remove the dress waist, knot the hair high up on the head, out of the way, and while leaning over the basin, place a spoege soaked in hot water, as hot as can be borne, on the back of the neck. Repeat this many tames, Mao applying the sponge behind the ears, and, if the aseertion of the writer is not it mistaken ono, in many oases the strained muscles and nerves that have caueed so much misery will be felt th relax and smoothe themselves out delici- ously, and very frequently the pain promptly vanisbes in coneequence. Every woman knowe the aching face and neck generally brought home from a hard day's shopping, or from a long round of calls and afternoon teas. She regards with intense dissatisfaction, the heavy lines drawn around her eyes and mouth by the long strain on the facial naueelea, and when she mast carry that worn aouutenance to some dinner party or evening's amusement, it robe her of all the pleasure to be had in it. Cosmetice are not the care, nor bromides, nor the many nerve sedatives to be had at the drug ahop. Here, again, the sponge and hot water are advised by the writer quoted, bathing the face in water as hot as osn poseibly be borne; apply the sponge over and over (mein to the temples, throat, and behind the eon, where most of the nervemand muscles of the head centre, and then bathe the fen in water running cold front the te.ticet. Color and emothneas of outline come batik to ehe face, an astonish- ing freshnees and comfort is the result, and it a nap of ten mictutes can follow, every trace of fetigue will vataish.—eitn.

"Gormenweire's Geographioal Magazine" has a vary interesting paper on theBehring Sea question. 11 says from forty to seventy Canadia,n sealing vessels annually hunt in the waters through which the seal passes jeet north of the Aleutian Islands, on Ma way to the Pribyloff Islands, killing the animals without discrimination, whether their far ie worth much or little, shooting many which sink and are thus entirely lost. The effect is already alarmingly apparent, and the number of seals annually visiting the breeding grounds is rapidly diminish- ing. It is estimated tint 1,000,000 Bed are born every year on the islands of S. Patti and Si, George. Females are never killed there and the fur of old =Mash in valueless. Of the 500,000 reels pups leav- ing the Mande every fall, it is estimated that only 250,000 survive the filet year's struggle for existence, and the casualtiett of the onond year reduce the number to 225,000, and not over 200,000 of these are available for slaughter. The "Magazine" says: "There is no question that we (the Amerioane) own the Pribyloff Islands, and that the company authorized by our Gov- , ernment alone has the right to pursue the seeding industry there, but it is not at the islandthat the Canadian vessels have carried en their destruction. Their favor- ite Mace of watching for their prey is just north of the Aleutien chain. While the seal are swarming toward the Pribyloff group Me waters near the narrow passea among the Aleutian Iolands are fairly alive with them, and there the Canadian hunt- ers reap their harvest and prevent thous- ands of anima/a from reaohing the breed- ing grounds."
