'Keep nothing dirty upon you, nor in your house, nor near your house. 'Hygiene demands good air: air your bed, your chamber, and all places in which you live and work. 'Hygiene forbids all excess, and the use of injurious things, as alcohol and tobacco. It prescribes temperance and sobriety. 'Hygiene requires you to avoid a sudden change from heat to cold. When you are in a perspiration, do not lie down upon the ground, do not expose yourself to draughts, and do not drink cold water. 'Hygiene requires gymnastic exercises, which make the body supple, healthy, and strong. '_Attention to health gives a chance of long life._ 'In order to fulfil your duties towards your soul, you must continue to cultivate your intelligence and to educate yourself. 'Do not forget that you can educate yourself at any age. 'You must fight against sensuality, which would make you gluttons, drunkards, and debauchees; against idleness, which would make you useless to others and a burden to them; against selfishness and vanity, which would make others detest you; envy, which would render you unhappy and hateful; anger and hatred, which might lead you to all kinds of evil deeds.' These lessons are enforced by an extract from the French Law, which informs scholar that the persons found in a condition of manifest intoxication in the street or a public-house are punished by a fine of from 1 to 15 francs; that for a second offence the punishment is imprisonment for three days; and that for a third breach of the law the offender may be sentenced to imprisonment for from six days to a month, and to a fine of from 16 to 300 francs. In addition to this, the offenders will be declared incapable of exercising their political rights for two years. This is a very practical teaching; but the duties which little boys owe to their bodies and souls are rendered more attractive, than either the dicta concerning hygiene or the threatened results of evil ways are likely to make them, by the history of a certain Dr. John Burnett, a physician, who made an immense fortune in New York. This is found as a _feuilleton_ at the foot of the page, under the title 'Un Bon Charlatan.' The pith of the teaching under the head of Morals, is contained in the following summary:-- '1. I will fulfil my duties towards myself. My duties towards my body are, cleanliness, sobriety, temperance, precaution against the inclemency of the seasons, exercise. '2. I will fulfil my duties towards my soul by continuing to educate myself, and by combating all bad passions. '3. I will not do to another that which I would not that he should do to me. '4. I will not do him wrong, either by striking him, or robbing him, or deceiving him, or lying to him, or by breaking my promise, or by speaking evil of him, or by calumniating him.
