Some of the superstitons about

to rise before the sun the marriage morn

or to see the shadow of his wing fit by in
the sunshine or to hear the knock of ar
invisible hand, which, however, should b,

candle. II Is still more ominous to meet d
red.hnired woman ON the LIST of May 1.-THE
wedding is to be the following month, or Ia
tread upon the poisonous beetle, whose
death bodies fires or pestilcncc, or to

The baby does not belong to the animal
kingdom; the animal kingdom belongs to
him. lie is king, In fact, he is always
aching.
Some have classed him in the vegetable
kingdom. But these are dis-potato-us peo-
pie. Such persons are not TO be correct, eX-
Ccpting in i-salad-atcd cases
However, n baby is often spoken of as
this wheat creature;" which is why they
cradle him. You can't shock him. He is
not exactly creature comfort.
The baby cannot speak. He is m I'M
speakabl0 blessing.
But he can scream. You see the dis
organization. His cream is what he
screams FOR generally.
Not always. He sometimes cries for
the stomach ache. Cake is not good for his
stomach.
Babies have but one stomach and two
eyes To wise persons the reason of this is
apparent. Don't think, however, that Il
parent always has reason.) The reason is
that 1t requires two eyes to do the crying
that one stomach engcnderS.
baby cannot walk, but he makes every
body about him walk.
The baby is sometimes called an infant,
in tanCiful allusion to infantry, which he is
thought to resemble because he is generally
found with arms about him.
The principal business of the baby is
cutting teeth, He inserts teeth free of
charge.
rhe baby is sometimes twins. In this
case it twins sympathy for its father, who
often wishes the baby was farther.
