Putting the Baby to Sleep.
Babyhood.

BabyhOod.
One evening few weeks ago l had
an exaggerated form of a very com
mon experience with my baby. He
never goes to bed exactly with the
setting Of the sun, but on the evening
in question it seemed as if he really
had forgotten how to go to sleep. l
did not put him to bed and let him cry
himself to sleep, for ] tried that once
and his crying soon led to such a fit of
coughing and choking that | was
frightened and / vowed never to do
so again; and so s, 8, 10 O'Clock came,
and the little eyes were wide open. |
used all my arts Of soothing and per-
suasions, but there he sat, and laughed
and cooed, and watched the light and
the shadows until II o'clock came and
went and twelve was just at hand.
Something must be done, and / could
think of nothing, unless possibly a
wet cloth on the head might have a
soothing effect; at least it would do
no harm to try. took a piece of
Canton flannel, large enough when
doubled to cover the whole head, and
wrung it rather dry out of warm wa
| fer. then mt il closely over babV,S
head 50 as to cover both ears and eyes.
The effect was wonderful! There
was brief struggle, then perfect
quiet, and in less than five minutes
the little fellow was sound asleep.
Since then | have tried it again and
again, and always with the same re-
suit. 1t is a simple remedy for sleep
lessness and well worth knowing and
trying.

Our young friend ben McCullOcl
claims to have been in McMinnvill
last Thursday night, but we canno

one young man in a week, and fly
extra ones to call besides. We are c
the opinion that if some don't stoI
some will have to stop soon.
