Such knowledge? Is. to be had, aa very ; Important jexperlments and deductions -have -recentlv been rilatle by (scientific, investigators f but it always itaKes , an unreasonable leneth of time for such knowledge to become After 25,00a tests by the best educa tors in America it has been absolutely demonstrated, for instance, -that the lenght of time that a child $ years of age can concentrate its mind: does not exceed seven minutes, and that all ef forts to confine Its attention upon one subject beyond this limit 'are worse than -.useless. This power of concen tration increases slowly Af the age of -8 a child's attention may be easily held ten minutes: at the age of 12 his mind should not be riveted Upon one subject longer than seventeen ; minutes. It is therefore a great mistake to keep a child of this age, say, at the piano more than, fifteen minutes; c after - a change of occupation another ; quarter of an 'hour's practice will beg of incal cuiaqiy more oenent tnan -cne attempt to continue work . after ' brain and nerves have-become fatigued; i Indeed most of the inattention and restlessness of children - may : be 1 ex plained upon the - physical: basis. ! ' ; A bby's brain, for example, undergoes u certain shrinkage at the age of 14 or 15. It actually - weighs less than at the age of 12 and 13.

One of the problems of civilized man i3 how -to live with a wife; ' The question that worries the Pondo is how to get along, j with only one. Monogamy is to him .aM iondition of abject poverty. When, how ever, he can afford the '- luxury of three or four wives,' beds fairly assured of. suceesg in , life, und with half a dozen : or a dozen he is rolling in wealth. .The explanation of this paradox is simple : ' Whereas . civi lized man is expected to support his wife,' the Pondo leaves to his women-folk the privilege of supporting him. This shows that a savage Is not necessarily a fool.-; '' " Mr. James O'Haire, miEsionary of. the Catholio' church in Unitata, explains the working of the system In n letter.'. "Po--ly gamy, "-says he, "is the very life's, sup-' port of the Pondos. The nuutber of wives a man has settles r the question as to his previous wealth, for each wife was bought,: and for her heTmusfe have paidher father: irom' 8 to 8 Q , oxen, and now his wealth may be estimated by the number of wives and t children,'- because - tha ;whole affair. may be simply described as natural human farming Each .daughter is worth, say, ten oxen.C If she is well built and pretty, she, fcpay sell for. 4nrthen4 too, the sons work in the care of cattle, for the wJbote of the Kaffir property consists in cattle.
