Why the Baby Cries.

The Young bachelor who volunteered an
opinion rs to the reason for habys smile,
and the summary justice which he received
at the hands Of the haby's nurse, are well
known, but why the baby cries is a matter as
TO which few men have any curiosity, pro
vided it is not too late TO have an engagement
down town when the concert begins The
Mothers Manual Of ChildTSn's Diseases" ex-
plains the matter thus:
Cries are the only language which a
Young hahv has to express its distress, as
smiles and laughter and merry antics tell
without word It's gladness. The baby must
be ill, is all that its cries tell one person; an
other, who has seen much of sick children,
will gather from them more, and will he able
to Judge whether its sufferings is In the head
or chest or stomach. The cries Of baby
with the stomach ache arc long and loud and
passionate; it sheds profuSion of tears; now
stops for moment, and then begins again,
drawing up its legs 10 its stomach; and, As
the pain passes Off, stretches them out again,
and with many little sohs passes of into a
quiet sleep II il has inflammation OF the
chest it does not cry aloud, it sheds no tears,
but every few minutes, especially after draw
ing deeper breath than before, or after each
short, backing cough, il gives little cry,
which il checks, apparently, before It has half
finished, and this, either because II has no
breath to waste in cries, or because the effort
makes its breathing more painful IL disease
is going on in the head, the child utters sharp,
piercing shrieks, and then between whiles a
low moan or wall, or perhaps no sound at all,
but lies quiet, apparently doing, till pain
wakes it up again. Chicago News

males in the old Bay state it struck me that
this was an anomalous condition. When |
asked her for the reason of this scarcity OF
help she replied with some acerbity: BE
cause the women have been spoiled by fac
tory work. They have come to look on
housawork as inferior. They make better
wages in the factories, and So although the
work is not light, they will not work at any
thing else. You can scarcely get woman
to do days washing. Then, too, the women
are intellectual, Us they call ii, and they get
above any work. Some Of them who are
prime housekeepcrs if they only set about it,
prefer to spend their time writing rhymes
