SAYING 7HE LNNOCENTS,
How the Loss Of TwO Infant Lives Saved
u., Thousands.


A very interesting, and at the same
time unobtrusive work, has been going
on in London through the devotion of a
truly "noble" lady-the Countess Ebers-
burg. Some years ago this countess lost
her two babies, and then she Consecrated
her fortune and life to the single work
of saving the lives Of children. As she
began to examine the subject she met
with the statement that in England 200
900 children die annually under the age
of FIVE, and ofthese three per cent die of
preventable causes. She wrote to the
Register General to ask ifthis rate of in.
FAINT mortality is really true, and received
confirmation of it. Then she set herself
to the task of going around and visiting
the poor and Conversing with mothers.
She found these poor mothers so hope
lessly ignorant of the most primary laws
of health, and if they knew them, 80 en-.
tirely unable (from drudgery and pover-
ty) to practice them, that she (the Count
ess) gradually felt her way to some kind
of practical way. In the first place she
instituted weekly Mothers Meetings,
which might be attended by those who
were able, at which she gave them in
structions in economizing their poor
means, and in the kind of food most nour-
ishing, and answered from the best au-
thorities the mothers questions as to the
treatment of their own and their chill
dren's ailments. The Countess is highly
educated, and quite able to impart infor.
nation. As an illustration of how mi
nutely she studies the situation Of these
mothers, l may mention that she found
that in their desire to make their little
means 90 as far as possible, they were
generally in the habit of buying a salt
herring for breakfast, because it can be
bought for penny. But the herring
makes the husband or son thirsty, and
after it he goes and spends two pence for
beer. So she persuaded the mother that
the herring is delusive economy, and
the instruction has been justified. The
Countess next drew upon her own means
and those of her friends to provide malt
ed food extract and similar things for all
ing children, and by spending G4OO a
year in this way saved many lives Grad
ually she has extended her plans to in
clude children's retreat in the country
for babies whose lives depend on change
Of air, and day nursery, where women
may leave their children in good care
while they are at work. Her work is
now arranged in districts amid the poor
est parts of London. and she distributes
some 5000 pounds of baby food per an
num.-Cin. Commercial

LITTLE THINGS.

Life is made up of little things. He
who travels over a continent must 60
step by step. He who writes a book
must do it sentence by sentence he who
learns science must master it fact by
fact, and principle after principle. What
is the happiness Of our life made up Off
Little courtesies, little kindnesses, pleas
ant words, genial smiles, a friendly letter,
good wishes, and good deeds. One in a
million, once in life time, may do he
roiC action. But the little things that
make up our life come every day and
every hour.

THE HEAD Of the present New Zealand Ministry,
Sir George Grey, is remarkable for his sympathy and
friendly sentiments towards the MRoris. Sir George is
also an accomplished Maori scholar, and IL the Au-

support our plan Of importing n few families Of our
" Maori cousins" TO these Islands, and We believe
that he would be likely TO take a very lively interest
ia the scheme. The fact Of Sir George being Prem

steps which our own government may take in this
matter will meet with the most friendly attention
from the New Zealand government.
