such a fit Of coughing and choking

never to do so again; and so eight,
nine, ten O'Clock came, and the little
eyes were wide open. l used all my
arts of soothing and persuading, but
there he sat and laughed and cooed,
and watched the light and shadows un-
til eleven clock came and went and
twelve was just at hand. Something
must be done, and could think Of
nothing, unless possibly wet cloth on
the head might have soothing effect;
at least it would do no harm to try. l
took a piece of canton flannel, large
enough when doubled to cover the
whole head, and wrung it rather dry
out of warm water, then put it closely
over babJs head so as to cover both
ears and ewes The effect was wonder
full There was brief struggle, then
perfect duiet. and in less than five
minutes the little fellow was sound
asleep. Since then l have tried it
again and again, and always with the
