Babies In South America.

There is tribe in the palm region
of the Amazon that cradles the young
in palm leaves. A single leaf turned
up around the edges by some native
process makes an excellent cradle,
and now and then it is made to do
service as a bathtub. Strong cords
are formed from the sinews of anoth-
er species of palm, and by these this
natural cradle is swung alongside a
tree, and the wind rocks the little tot
to sleep. Long ago the Amazonian
mothers discovered that it was not
wise to leave baby and cradle under
a cocoa palm, for the mischievous
monkey delighted to drop nuts down
ward with unerring precision. An
older child is stationed near by to
watch the baby during his siesta, and
the chatter of monkey overhead is
enough to cause a speedy migration.

There is a Boston Kindergarten
where the teacher is very particular

always begins by holding up rubber

PunCtuaIity.

When eight Quaker ladies had an
appointment and seven were punctual,
and the eighth being a quarter of an
hour too late, began apologizing for
keeping the others waiting, the reply
from one of them was. 81 am sorry,
friend, that thee should have wasted
thine own quarter of an hour, but thee
had no right to waste one hour and
three quarters more of our time,
which was not thine own" And of
Washington it is said that when his
secretary, on some important occasion,
was late, and excused himself by say
ing that his watch was too slow, the
reply was, "You will have to get
another watch, or another sec
retary." Napoleon used to say to
his marshals, "You may ask anything
of me but time" And of John
Quincy Adams it is said that in his
long service in Congress he was never
known to be late, and one day when
the clock struck and q member said
to the Speaker, "It is time to call
the House to order" the reply was,
"No, Mr.. Adams is not IN his seat
yet" And while they were yet
speaking, Mr.. Adams came in, he

Nobody Else.

Two little hands, so careful and brisk,
Putting tho tea things away;
While mother is resting awhile in her chair,
For she has been busy all day.
And the dear little myers are working for love,
Although they are tender and wee.
"I'll do 1t soncely," she says to herself
"There's nobody else, You see."
Two little feet just scampered up stairs,
For daddy will quickly be here;
And his shoes must be ready and warm by
the fire,
That is burning so bright and so clear.
Then shemust climb on the chair to keep watch
"IIe cannot come in without me.
When mother is tired | open the door
There's is nobody else, you see"
Two little arms round daddys dear neck,
And soft, downy cheek 'galnst his own;
For out of the nest, so cosy and bright,
The little ones mother has flown.
She brushes the tear drops awaya she thinks
"Now he has no one but me,
/ mustn't give way; that would make him
so sad
And there's nobody else, you see'
Two little tears on the pillow, just shed.
Dropped from the two pretty eyes;
Two little arms stretching out in the dark,
Two little faint sobbing cries
Daddy forgot was always walked up
When he whispered good night to me-
mother, come back just to kiss me in bed
There's nobody else you see.'
Little true heart, II mother can look
Out from her home in the skies,
She will not pass on her haven Of rest
While the tears dim her little ones eyes
II God has shed sorrow around us just now,
Yet His sunshine is ever to be;
And He is the comfort for every ones pain
There's nobody else, you see.

experience had abundanty proved, there was
nrcssno need of improvement 1t provided
for the nrinting and distribution Of ballots at
the public expense, for booths In whlch voters
With none to modest could prepare their ballots,
for the preservation OF order about polling

spirited and non-partisan nature.
The Governor is consistent with his own and
b;s naty's record in killing this excellent meas
me TO the disgrace of the Democratic party,
Ia Il said. it is, as a rule, found opposing any
ond all enactments that provide safeguards for
the ballot-box Last year two important bills,
in which the right of suffrage was involved
came before the Legislature. One was for
the regulation of primary elections, the other
nrovided for general registration. The Gov
ernor declined to sign the former until he had
done his best to deprive it of any great sig
n;fcance: the other he killed. Both measures
encountered strenuous Democratic opposition
in the Legislature. The bill which he now
consigns to the waste basket, in palpablc de-
fancc of public sentiment, met with similar
treatment at the hands of Democratic legislat-
ors although its merits were so obvious that
it's passage was demanded by leading papers OF
both parties,
