How's THE WIND There was change yesterday
so said the compass and weather-cock, and Boreas
yielded the scepter so long held to Zephyr, and she
pped a gentle, steady breeze from west sou west.
What relief to eastern and northern wind-bJund
coasters. so long held back bv N pertiracous old
busteier Of the arctic.
What q relief too, these VAIN oinds and sunny
days are TO those who have no store Of fuel. Hos
glad they looked yester MON to see the gliding,
first upon the spires then the roofs, then the walls
of houses; snd by and.by the Ii lie children we're
sporting in the warm sunshine Of the streets, the
yards and where it fel 50 warm and cheer
full upon the doorsteps. Yes, they had come
ont Of their cold houses TO themselves in the
open air, and this the 10th Of Nov.
And some Of the narrowes. dirty streets of the
city, how full they of yourg humanity growing
up ike weeds in a cultivated feld-growing some Of
them like ihistts bramblss that not only choke the
food-p oducrg plsnt but tear the ae.h and rend tue
garments of the husbsndman
at IL an i'll wind that blows good to no one says
tie old pyoverb. It is pity that some wind would
not blow little good TO these stray leaves of the
giest tree of lie, and garner them up where they
would not be the paythirgs Of every i'll wind that
blows.
But .sirg the little buds of human nature about
amcDg the sumPs and snsgs of larger life, not all
We do with our infant population. Look how we feed
them while st too small to creep out on a sunny
morning when the wind blows gentle zephyr, to
warm Themselves upon the doorstep, how we feed
them.
Feed them Yes with milk. Milk is the food Of
babes. Blu. what milk OF cows confined in fe,id
stables sId fed sOps for life, TIL not one o of that
substance that makes infant bones can be found 10 the
milk. When the gets no phosphate Of line in her
food her milk becomes putrd. and in place Of tn It
Fe-givpg substance, the microscope will show little
eobues of corrupted matter and these, the very seeds
tf death the city mother gives her child, and calls il
food.
Food Il ia food for the worms Il Is worse than
rursire child at the breast Of consumptiye
mother l. is iDfancide. And yet hear how the wind
bowls ard threatens 10 blast all who advocate the
destruction of the trade that furnishes the food for
the cows that produce this great cause OF disease and
death till our bills Of mortality tell the awful tale
every week that majority of the deaths those Of
children-helpless infsntsby their mothers slain With
mi x made poisonous in the city stll.house.
The wind that sweeps away this cause CT infants
deaths will not be wind that bio vs. good to no one.
Let us hope for il to come SOON and while this great
cause OF death and woe remains let inquire every
