Show THE REVIEW. Every manifestation of selfishness can be checked some way. Indeed, one of the nicest families of children I ever knew were taught when little that never a day must pass without helping somebody in some They were sent on way or other. numerous errands of kindness which not only resulted in good to those they helped but had their reflex influence on the children Children are often reared under too much restraint. We are all apt to expect too much well as busy. from them. I do not suppose it would be a correct thing to do, in writing a paper on child culture to omit the matter of discipline and punishment, especially as our children as well as their mothers are not in the millenium, and pity 'tis, tis true, penalties and punishments must sometimes be inflicted. Lead your children as far as possible to see that nature inflicts punishments, wrong-doindestroys the perfect organization to which they belong, the harmony of the family is destroyed, they have troubled all of the waters g of life, &c. Little children should be helped to not by giving candy or something equally precious to the child as a reward for good behavior, but helped to master themselves because it is right that they should do so. If they are not taught to suppress unnatural appetites, to subdue passions when little, they will have no vantage ground when older. Those who have their training in charge should decide for them whether they shall be slaves to themselves or master of themselves. is at the root of all virtues, it forms the chief distinction between man and the mere animal. The best regulated home is always that in which there is the best discipline and where it is the least felt. Whatever is right is right regardless of sex. The sins of girls are not more heinous than the sins of boys. If we demanded the same of our boys that we do of our girls they would meet the demand. In the training and teaching of our little ones do we ask ourselves the Why do we do it? or, question? what is it for?" The answer should self-contr- ol Self-contr- ol self-contr- ol 3 be, that my child may attain the great- est possible use of his faculties, to the greatest advantage to himself and others. That he may know how to live completely, that he may know how to take care of his body, to educate his mind, to manage his affairs, to bring up a family, to behave as a citizen, to behave as a Christian, that highest type of manhood. No matter how he may distinguish himself in knowledge, or how great a genius he may be, without the knowledge of life in its highest natural sense, a knowledge broad enough to advance the interests of human welfare his training does not utilize all of the sources of happiness which nature supplies. We should make Froebel says: the temporal eternal by each good act which adds to the eternal goodness, the eternal temporal by sharing the eternal truth wherever it is, make the inward, outward, the outward inward, and the child will develop into the true man, will recognize and appreciate his duties and the importance And the perfectly of his existence. developed child, what can I say of him more truly that what Emerson he is the says of the perfect man, compound of time, he is the correlative of nature. Copies of the Photographic AtharVaVeda. Prof. Maurice Bloomfield of the Johns Hopkins University is engaged in a work that is certain to attract the interest of scholars of the East all over the world. He has obtained the consent of the library authorities of the university of Tuebingen to reproduce photographically a unique manuscript of the Atharva-VedThe manuscript which he will a. re- produce is known as the Kashmirian and was discovered Atharva-Ved- a, through the efforts of the late Prot. Rudolf von Roth. The manuscript is written on birch-bar- k in the KashSharada charmirian, the acter, and it is said by scholars that in the entire domain of Indian manuscripts tradition there is no single manuscript which claims so much interest as this unique one on so-call- ed Prof. Rudolph von Roth, as early as 1856, was led by a remark of the traveler Baron von Huegel to the belief that a new version of the Atharva-Ved- a might be found in Kashmir. Baron von Huegel, in his Kashmis und das Reich der work, Siek, remarked that the Brahmins of Kashmir belonged to the Atterwan, or, as they said, Atterman Veda, and upon the strength of this statement Prof, von Roth induced the authorities of the British government in India to institute a search in the inaccessible earthly paradise in the hope of finding a new version of the Atharva-VedHis prophetic surmise came true most brilliantly. In 1875 hs Highness, the late Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir, Ranbir Singh, had this manuscript sent to Sir William Muir, the then Lieutenant-Governo- r of the Northwest Provinces, by whom it was in turn despatched to Prof, von Roth. The latter, after publishing a stirring account of its discovery, character, and contents in a famous tract, guarded it until his recent death; it has now passed into the possession of the University library of Tuebingen, whose greatest and priceless treasure it forms. a.
