MANAGING THE BABY.
How to Teach Infants to Go to Sleep
without Being Rocked.

without Being Rocked.
The way to keep the baby from be.
coming "spoilt" is to let it cry as lit.
tie as possible. 1t will gain strength
of mind to endure its necessary ills all
the sooner if allowed to suffer as little
as possible from ills that can be avoid.
ed. Its wants should be anticipated,
its sources of discomfort should be re.
moved as soon as they arise without
waiting for it to cry; it should be pre-.
vented in every way from forming the
habio of crying. Study its expression
when it is tired of playing on the floor,
take it up and dance it about the room,
and let it look out of the window for a
few minutes. In little while it will
be glad to 60 back and play on the
floor again. If it is necessary to resort
to discipline, be careful to seize the
right moment for it.
If you want the baby to learn to &c
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
cup of milk particularly sweet and
warm and nice. make its little bed soft
and cosy, lay it down gently and
soothe it with little kissing and pat
ting, and, if it is not already too much
spoilt, it will only be too happy to
close its eyes in the sweetest kind OF
sleep. Fit does not, its fit of crying
will be as brief and as little injurious
as it can be.-BabyhOod.

MARRIED LADIES.
The Propriety of Combining Their Names
with Their Husbands Surnames.

The Propriety OF Combining Their Names
with Their Husbands Surnames.
1t is becoming the fashion among
married ladies in London to keep their
maiden name in addition to their hus-
bands surname. This practice has
long been in vogue among actresses
and other ladies who have made repu-
tation for themselves before marriage,
the benefit of which they are unwilling
to lose. The names of Mesdames Gold
schmidt-Lind, Trebclli-Bettini, Lem
mens-Sherrington and hosts of others
will readily occur to every one as cases
in point But until lately the fashion
was confined in England to actresses,
singers, authoresses and other ladies
whose loss at marriage through the
change of name would have been so
substantial a pecuniary one that it
might be estimated in thousands of
pounds. 1t is only now that ladies in
private life have begun to realize the
fact that their own loss on changing
their name, and thus. to q great ex-
tent, losing their identity, is quite as
real and quite as important to them
selves as the actress would be to her,
although possibly no one would go so
far as to say it had monetary value.
The loss of many old friends as well as
of possible bonds of sympathy between
herself and new acquaintance is the
common result, to bride, of the total
suppression of the name by which she
has hitherto been known. Who is to
recognize the bosom friend of her
school-days, her adored Araminta
Cleveland or Belinda Morevile, under
the prosaic disguise of "Mrs Smith"
or Mrs. Jonesp" One might be on the
same steamer with her or staying in
the same hotel and be none the wiser.
One might live next door to her for
years in London, seeing her name con-
stantly in the Blue Book or Court
Guides, and yet never recognize her as
the playmate of ones childish days.
More painful still, she might possibly,
should she die a rich and childless
widow, wish to leave something hand
some to her old school-fellow in de-
fault of other heirs, but, her old friend
having taken to herself the name of
Mrs. Brown, and thereby made the dis
guise doubly complete, both 60 down

A Dogs Unexpected Free Lunch.
