Caution to Mothers.

We notice that it is q very common
practice in fina weather to see those
who have charge Of infants, pushing
their little carriages along the side
walks for the purpose of giving the
children an airing seeming 10 think
that riding backward is as proper a
position for the child as any Orher.~
An exchange cautions parents to see
that it is d sconti0ued, denouncing it
as very dangerous che, and liable
to do great and permanent injury to
the child The position Of child
riding backward instead of forward
it says, is an unnatural one and di
rectly affects the BRAIN Some grown
persons even cannot ride backward in
a railroad car without experiencing q
sense of faintness, and to expect a
child TO do what a strorg adult can
not 90, is unreasonable, to say She
least. The same writer says that
medical authorities affirm that chill
dren have died from diseases arising
from this very practice. He claims to
soeak from b" the book" and We ad-
wise those who have children to see
that due cafe is observed in this res
pect; for even if the evil effects do
not always directly and Immediately
manifest themselves, they may be
working insidiously within.

The Price of Milk.

are aDilnadverting with considerable
severity upon the fact that notwith-
standing Butter is SO much cheaper
than it has been heretofore, there il
10 corresponding declenSion in the
price of Milk. In many places, il
appears, Milk is now sold at precisely
the same price as it was when Butter
WAS bringing % to S0ce per pound
and what is still worse, there is nc
improvement in the qualify of the
article. These complaints are well
founded. If Milk was worth bat 5
and 6 cents per quart when Butter was
sold at 90 to 80 cents per pound. it
it cannot now be worth over 9 to 3
cents, by any sort of arithmetic with
which we are acquainted.
