SLEEP FOR CHILDREN.
There is no danger that children can sleep too much. The old proverb, 'He who sleeps eats,' is illustrated in those little ones who sleep most. Wakeful children are almost always peevish, irritable, and lean. If they can be induced to sleep abundantly they are quite likely to become goodnatured and plump. Their sleep should* be as much during the hours of darkness as possible, and therefore ifc is better that they should go to bed before sunset to have sleep' oat than to lie long after sunrise in the morning. It is well to let any healthful, growing child or young person sleep uut.il ho wakes himself, and give him such variety and amount of outdoor exercise as shall make him glud when bedtime returns.
