ChOkfnE.

A baby or young child may hold its breath while there is food in the mouth, simply because it cannot obtain more food or cannot have it's own way. As soon as the spasm of the muscles of the throat re- laxes an inspiration occurs, air is forcibly drawn into the lungs, and if particles of food have not already been removed from the mouth and throat by ones finger they are likely to block up the larynx and cause suffocation. In other words, they are foreign bodies." Children just passing out of bapyhood who are allowed to feed themselves at table and to eat whatever they want, run great risks of suffocation by large mouthfuls of food. No careful parent who has repeatedly ob- served a baby's manner of cramming the mouth full and of gulping food, if left to himself, doubts that s,lffocation may thereby be caused. To reduce the danger to the minimum, therefore, additional food should not be given until the babys mouth is quite empty, and the mother should not intrust the feeding to other hands than her own, unless, indeed, she intelligently supervises it.-Ba6yhood.

TattOoing in Japan.

The skill of the Japanese in tattooing is remarkable, and Dr. Baelz, a physician in the employ of the Japanese govern ment, has communicated large number of curious and hitherto unknown facts regarding the strange custom of tattooing as practised in Japan. As to its origin there nothing very definite has been as- certained. It certainly in Japan has no religious meaning or any ceremonial at tending it. Unlike some other peoples the Japanese usually tattoo those portions of the body which are covered by cloth ing, and yet it seems that the only pur- pose the marks serve is that of personal adornment Among certain tribes of other countries the chiefs and persons of distinction are elaborately tatteoed; in Japan only the lower orders of society and very rarely women undergo the process,
 X Japanese when he desires to be tattooed goes to an artist with the design he wishes to have indelibly initiated on his body. The artist sketches the design more or less in full detail, as the circum- stances of the case may require, on the skin of his patron. Then, taking n wooden tool in which fine sewing needles are firmly fixed, the artist applies Indian ink or a red color made from cinnabar to the points of the needles, holds the tool in the right hand, which rests on the thumb of the left hand, and proceeds to puncture the skin with marvellous ra. pidity, pausing at intervals to take on the needles fresh supply of color. No blood is drawn except sometimes when deep shade is requisite, or when going over the elbows and knees. In day skillful operator can complete picture requiring a few hundred thousand punctures, in a manner surprising for its accuracy and varied and delicate degree of shading.
 When the work is finished the skin is bathed with warm water, which gives a slight pain to the patient, but brings out the color with great distinctness. The only inconvenience experienced isa slight feverish feeling, which soon goes away. The tattooed parts are never irritable o, sensitive, and there need be no cessation from usual work. At the end of three days the skin scales off like bran from the punctured surface, leaving the portions blue that had been treated with the In. Indian ink, and those red that had been touched with the cinnabar,
