Tho Inst repot I of llio iMiissrichu betts Ilonrrt of Education tiliows a ilecicaso in the iitimlicr of very snmll children in thu public schools. The practice of sending JJ-yeur-ohl children to school is dying out. A generation or mote ngo it wns si mutter of pride with parents to ex hibit the precocity of their children. A hundred years ago the same forc ing system was still more prevalent. Jn reading the biographies of the noted men of that time, we often 11 nd them leading iluently at-1 years, writing Latin verses at 10, and gra duating from college at 1(5. Now :i child may not learn its letters befoio the sixth year, and the records of Yale and Harvard show the average age of graduates to bo a trifle below LNJ. The fact is indisputable thai, despite the charge of precocity and rapid living laid upon the youth of to-day, they begin life later, ripen moic slowly and live longer than their fathers and grandfathers. The old idea of making the most of a human being involved docking his youth to :uld it to his manhood. The result was a shortening of the malurcr years by premature dccsiy and death. The present idea is to make hsibte slowly in the earlier years and make up the loss by an increased tenure of life and working capacity. The records of Yale prove these statements by showing Unit, although the sigc of graduation is now several years later than during the last century, yet graduates live longer after graduation. No doubt undue haste in education often in jures the health for life, and many a man has died prematurely because he started too quick. There pin be no doubt of the benefit of this change in educational processes. The forcing system sel dom produces sturdy plants. There is also the consideration involved that the increasing complexity of modern life demands better prepara tion for its duties. In public life the change is more noticeable even than in the schools. Nearly two thirds of the members of the first United .States Senate were under fiO years of age, Alexander Hamilton was Secretary of the Treasury at U2, and Joseph Story si Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States at the same age. Now three-fourths of the Senators arc over 50, and the average age of judges appointed to the Supremo bench during the last half century of our existence has ljcen 50. Instead of quickening our rale of living, we are practising a whole some conservatism and aiming at the better development of our powers. S. 2 Call. THE PICTURE OF A THIEF FIRST SUG GESTS THE PROCESS- J. A. 15., writing from San Uafacl, under date of February 18th, says: An interesting fact in the history of sun-printing which, in its beginning was called daguerreotyping, acci dentally came to my knowledge recently, which 1 take the liberty to furnish for the C'irontclc. My edition of Appleton's new cyclo psedia says it is not known what led J)agucrrc to discover the art called ly his name. Mr. Louis, an intelli gent French gentleman, who has a sloop in San Iiafacl, gave me, in substance, tho following account of the begining of this wonderful dis covery and invention, to which the world of science and ait is so deeply indebted to-day: "ft was about the year 18ill a year or two after the cholera plague I was an ap prentice boy in the first of the three silversmith establishments in Paris. Mr. Daguerre, the artist, hud been polishing a silver plate in the fourth story of his house, whero lie had skylights arranged to afford fuller light for his purposes. One day, lisiving occasion to leave the room for a time, on returning he found some one had disarranged the room and stolen his money, hooking down upon the table where he had left the polished plate, to his sur prise he discovered the imago of his gardener, who came onco a week to arrange his grounds, whom he charg ed with the theft, and recovered the money. This accidental discovery led to experiments with the camera, which established the art, and ren dered Mr. Daguerre a wealthy man. I took him a polished plate, sat for my picture, and obtained my like ness, at a cost of about one dollar." Such is the statement of Mr. Louis, which I suppose is substantially correct. There seems, however, a discrepancy in dates, Mr. Louis putting the date of discovery about the year 1831 j whereas, tho cyclo psedia places the establishment of tho art in 181)1). And I remember, some years ago, Mr. llulofson, of llradley & Itulofson in San Francisco, told jne that ho (Rulofson) worked in .Heard's Gallery, London, in 183'J, which was about the beginning of tho art.

C01y STATEMENT. aMIE undersigned, a Committeo of Di . rectors ot the Eipiitable Lifo As surance Society of tho United Stales , appointed to formulate the views of the board on thu advantages oflered hy tlo Society to tho public, report: 1st Thu Society issues all the approv cd forms of assurance, Including Ordi nary Life, Endowment und Tontine po. Holes. It Is immaterial to the Directors which form of policy is taken by in tending assurers. Ud The Life and Endowment forms of policy provide for annual cash divi dends and a surrender value; arulndis putablu alter three years and puyublo immediately after proof of death. Ud The premiums on a Tontine po licy are tho tiimu as on thu Ordinary Life, but, while the latter is only pay. ablu in the event of death, tho holder of the Tontine policy has thu right to draw tho wholu of tho reserve and tho accu mulatcd profits in cash ut the end of a stated period; thus, during his own life time, after his producing years are past, hu can, without any larger premium than on an ordinary policy, secure these greater advantages. 4th Experience shows that tho return paid in cash on matuiiig Tontine po. licies uppioxiniutes to or exceeds the amount of premiums paid by policy holder, so that the average cost of thu assurnucu will bu only about thu interest on thu premiums. Cth Tontlnu policies, lilto others, nro paid in lull iu thu event of death at nny time during thu term of thu policy, und uru incontestable after three years, and payable immediately after duu proof of death. Olii Experience shows thnt the nior- tnllty is lower among Toutinu policy, holders, us tho butter lives seek this kind of nsturunces, which is a consider ublu source of profit. 7th Toutinu policies will bu mado non-lorteitublu under the laws of tho Slate, if so desired ut thu timo the as surance is effected. Bth '1 ho Tontine system is fair and just; its accounts are accurately kept, bepuratc from all other business, lliO funds judiciously invested and improv ed, and the accumulated profits faith, fully guarded and properly apportioned. Olii The Society has since its organi zation transuded a lurgcr amount of now business than auy oilier company, while its new business for the first hult of tho present year Is $1,150,000 larger than that of the first half of 1B84. It bus Assets of $00,000,000; over $14,000, 000 of Surplus, und its ratio of Surplus to Liability is greater than that of uuy other company. ClIAUflCKV M. DEl'EW, John A.
