Natural HistOry-The Baby.

"What animal Is this?"
''This is a baby. He is now about three
years old and at the wickedest point of his
earthly career"
"What country does the baby most in
habt?"
'tHe can be found in every inhabited
country on the globe, the same as mosquitoes
and boils."
"Can they be tamed?"
"Yes, quite easy. After a little judicious
discipline they cease to str1gsls aud become
subservient to the will of man."
"Does ,hs baby eatgrass?"
Eyes, or anything else. They swallow
pocket-knives, thimbes, buttons, spools, or
any other object little smaller than tea-cup
If offered milk they seldom refase it,
"Do they Craze during the day or only at
night?"
"They are always grazing, paying not the
least heed to the hour. When not actually
eating they give utterance to peculiar cry.
Strong men often jump out of bed at midnight
in the coldest weather when hearing that cry
"What meaning is attached to this cry"
sMeD of deepest thought have agreed that
it signifies TO wake up the neighborhooi aud
have some fun"
"Of what benefit to mankind is domesti.
Gated baby?'
"They are of no earthly account for the first
fe W years, but by and by they can slide down
hill on cellar door aud cerrv Articles out of
the house aud trade them off for wooden
sword or lose them in the grass"
"Do you know of any instance where the
baby has attacked the household and killed or
injured any one?'
s'Such instances have been related by such
eminent naturasts as George Francis Train
and Texas Jack, but we don't put much faith
in them. However, if the baby was msliclous-
ly and persistently provoked, there's no Know
ing what it might do"
"Are they healthy ANIMAL?
"No. On the contrary, no druggist could
make enough profit in year TO buy him pair
of Arctic overshoes but for the presence of q
baby IN every household. There is hardly an
hour in the day that the baby does not demand
peppermint, psregoric, ipecac or something
else costing money"
"What machinery Is made use of to compel
the baby to take dose of castor oil?"
s'There are several patent machines for the
purpose. but most people follow the old fashion
OF knocking him senseless and getting the dose
into his mouth before he recovers."
| SIS the bald-headed baby more domestic than

"Not bit. He kicks around after the same
fashion, and has even q worse time nghtlng
