The poor Queen Of NRples has loss her
baby. II Il one Of the ssddeyt stories.
The child was q 6ne, healthy girl. The
queen, like many mothers with their 6rst
child, wished 10 do the most perfect
thing in the Wy Of 0ursing il. She seot

to p'ea.e her, until the poor baby had no
less than thirty-scven different ones in
three months Of its short life. But the
wors, shiug she did wac to giss the poor
child icy cold baths night aud morning,
and instead of wrapping the little creature
up in flannel on taking it out Of the bath,
she always extended the shivering naked
body on her lap and tried reaction by
slapping and rubbing. Of course the
consequence vas Group, and the poor
child died. The mother, almost frantic,
sent 10 every direction for counsel, al.
though surrounded With physicians It
was very touching to bear some Of those
appeals. The queen has quote an init.
