The sleet was blowing; where was any sign
OF greening valley, call OF mating bird?
Yet close beside my ear, voice | heard
isper-"Sweet, choose now your valen-
tiuel"
s'Nay wait till skies are softer, airs more fine"
But still. impetuous. fell that whispered word,
&" Choose, choose your valentine +
What was il stirred,
Like breath Of June, this Welding heart ofmine!
SUDDEN. the bleai earth bl"ssomed into bowers
OF bridal beauty for its vreathinc SHOWS,
Wide banks of creamy jessamine and rose
While, on the pane, bloomed oat great passion
flowers:
And $50 subtle-sweet Loves whispers are =
Be sure for choice did not wander far.

That the crocus would put on her gay green trill

How BOW~LEGS ARE CAUSED
Bow>legs and knock>knees are among
the c3mmonest defOrmities of human
ity, and wise mothers assert that the
croOkedness in either case arises from
The afflicted enc having been put up
on his or her feet too early in baby
hood. But a Manchester ENG
physician. DR.. Crompton. who has
watched for the true cause, thinks
differently. He attributes the first
mentioned distortion To a habit some
youngsters delight in of rubbing the
sole Of one foot against that Of the
other some will go to sleep with
the soles pressed tight together -
They appear to enjoy the contact
only when the feet are naked they
don't attempt to make it when they
are socked or siippered. SO the
remedy is obvious; keep the baby's
s0les covered. Knock knees the
doctor ascribes to a different childish
habit, that of sleeping on the side,
With one knee tucked into the hollow
behind the other. BE has found that
where one leg has been bowed inward
more than the other the patient has
always slept on one side, and the
u%ppeFmost member has been that
most deformed. Here the preventive
is TO pad the inside of the knees so as
to keep them apart and let the limbs
sro* freely their own way, All of
which is commended to mothers who
desire tee physical uprrghtness of
their progeny.-Sc3eRce Molthly.
