One of the first things that happens TO

shaved. A barber comes with a razor, and
all the hair is shaved Off the poor little fel-
lows tender scalp. After that, baby has

grown man with beard might go in this
country; but he never seems TO enjoy 1t,
and cries pitifully every time the sharp
razOt mOws down the hair. After awhile,
when the hair begins to grow thicker, the
head is not shaved all over, but is left I'M
touched in spots, just as the parents think
will look pretty. Sometimes there will be
three TUFTS, each a. Big round as silver
dollar, one just over the middle Of the
forehead, and one over each ear. When
the hair grows long enough in these tufts,
II is braided and tied with bright cord, and
then baby looks funny enough to a for
eigner, for each little braid stands stiffly
up for about two inches, and then lOps
over The braids look like horns on his
head, and holes are cut in his green and
red cap TO let the horns come through

How to Make Things Last.

Every houSrkceper knows how careful
treatment keeps table linen and household
furniture Girls do not always know or re-
member that great care Of their own little
possessions will often enable them TO dress
nicely on very little money. A lady says:
when | was a girl there was one Of my
Young friends who was distinguished for
making her things last Her dress, hats
gloves and ribbons We're marvel of durabL-
ity. | used TO wonder how she managed to
make them last 50 without their looking
shabby, but | ceaSsd to do so after | had Wis
itel her at her own home The reason why
her clothes wore So long was that she took
such good care Of them. Her dresses were
brushed and folded away carefully. and the
slightest spot on them was removed as soon
AS it was discovered Her hat was wrapped
in an old pocke;handkerchief, and put away
in box as soon Us done with, the strings and
laces being straighteuc,l and rolled out most
symmetrirally each time. Her gloves were
never folded together, hut were pulled out
straight and laid fiat in box, one upon the
other each time they were used, the tinieSt
hole being mended almost before it had time
to show itself
But the thing that impressed me most was
the care she bestowed on her ribbons. When
making up bows she used TO line the upper
part of the ribbon with white paper, and this
not only prevented the ribbon from becoming
limp and creased, but kept it clean, so that
when the bow was suiled on one side she could
turn the ribbon, and the part that had been
covered came out looking new and fresh.
That girl married and brought up large
family Her husband had to fight his way,
and did 50 hravrly, AMI was unusually sue
cesful, for he b,came wealthy. But his pros
perity was due quite rs much TO his wife's
care and economy in saving money as it was
to his in making it.-tiooI Cheer.

The way to keep the baby from becoming
'spoilt' is to let it cry as little as possible
1t will gain trength of mind to endure its
necessary ills all the sooner if it is allowed TO
suffer as little as possible from ills that can
be avoided Its wants should lie anticipated,
its sources of discomfort should be removed
as soon as they arise, without waiting ior it
to cry; it should be prevented in every way
from forming the habit Of crying. Study its
expression, when it is tired of playing on the
floor take il up and dance it about the room,
and let it look out of the window for n few
minutes In little while it will be glad to
60 back and play on the floor again II it /,
necessary 10 resort To discipline, be careful TO
seize the right moment for it.
II you want the baby TO learn to go to
sleep without being rocked, choose day
when it has been unusually bright and happy
all the morning, wait until twenty minutes
or SO after the regular hour for its nap, then
give a cup of milk particularly sweet and
warm and nice, make its little bed soft and
coy, lay it down gently and sOOthe it with
n little kissing and patting, and, if it is not
already too much spoiled, it will only be too
happy TO close its eyes in the sweetest kind OF
sleep. II it does not, It's fit Of crying will be
as brief and as little injuries as it can be-
