How few seem to realize the Impor­ tance of regularity in school attend­ ance. After a child has begun to learn in a chis* lie cannot afford to lose a day, vea. even a lesson from his class. Never send a child to school to get rid of it. But when it is old enough to go, and yon have made up your mind to send it, be determined that nothing but physical suffering shall keep that child from school, unless you are able to attend to its lessons when away from school. Moreover, parents should consider it their duty to know what their children are actually doing in school. It would take but a very little time to talk over the day's doings at school with our little ones. Let them go over their lessons for our benefit, and perhaps we can help them a little, and the teacher too. At any rate, we shall know where they stand, and if compelled to keep thera at home, may help make up tlie loss by helping them over what they have lost. A great deal of blame is often attached to a teacher because the children :lo not all learn alike, when very often the only trouble with the children who fall be­ hind is their frequent absence from school. To be 6ure it does seem soine times as if the teacher was expected to manufacture brains, but no matter how much teachers are blamed, this faet remains the same; all children are not equally smart, neither are the dull ones necessarily idiots. 'Tls true a bright scholar can afford to be absent from h>s class better than one who is a little duller of comprehension; still we repeat it would be better for him to miss no lessons if that were possible. Wo all admire? the beailtiful. even etltch that a tint-class sewing machine makes. We don't like a machine that drops stitches. We like to see the stitching even and unbroken. Every •day wc needlessly keep our children from school, we mar the beautiful line of stitches that makes them educated. The foolish excuses, the careless in^ difference that let the children stay away from their books so much a:e the skipped stitches, and by and hy the children in whose school life there are so many of these skipped stitches will he like the second and third rate sew­ ing machines, used only because of their cheapness, ever commanding in­ ferior wages, because of the ignorance. Don't push; don't cram; easy and steady, let your children's advance­ ment he always encouraging them to a little brain toil every day.--Ed.

An approximate i<lea mny h» readied from the fact, that within a fifteen mile radiim of Charing Crosse, all of which is thickly populated are seven Imnjlreri square miles; anoth­ er ?vav of stating Us size is thirteen miles from east to we?r, and nine and one-!ialf miles from north to south, in which space are contained over four million people, composed of all nations on the face of the globe. It contains more Roman Catholics than Rome It­ self, more Jews than the whole of Pal­ estine, more Irish than the citj of Dublin, and more Scotchmen than Edinburg. The sanitary statistics show that a birth ocnurs here every Ave minutes, upon an average, and a death every eight minutes throughout the year. One must pause thought­ fully to take in the deduction to be drawn from these facts. It has thirty thousand miles of courts, lanes and streets, to which is added tweiity-eiglit miles of new thoroughfares annually. One hundred aud twenty-five persons are daily added to the population* making an nnmiHl increase of forty- five thousand. There are over two thousandVchools,' seventy poor-houses, two hundred hospitals, four hundred benevolent institutions, seven thous­ and lawyers. Nearly eighi thousand vessel? enter the London docks annu­ ally. There are over a hundred Insur­ ance companies, and two thousand dis- , tinct trades followed by its residents. . lhere are seventeen hundred omni­ buses. and nearly #even thousand cabs. One thousand vehicles per hour pass : through fJlieapside. and twenty thous- <Y^q£d vehicles 11 da? cross over London \ Widge. There are between thirty and , h *l«>« ty theatres and numberless concert ; The number of beer-shof a and *Vjfin-plaees niiwy l»e judged of from tiie lal't, that if rhey were p)ac<>d side by , ^kle, they would reach a distance of vt^v/aity-iite n.iles.
