TREATMENT OF eAslEs.
Why the Nerves and Faculties of title
Ones Should Not lie Aroused.


Little children beginning to notice,
and to babNle out their monoysyllabic
utterances, are so engaging that the
temptation all the time is to wake up
their faculties; they are always on ex-
hibition, always being reused up to
show their pretty ways to admiring
friends. constantly on the alert tossed
and handled and played with, when
they had far better be loft lying quietly
in the crib.
A very great deal in the direction of
training can be accomplished by accus-
toming tho baby to lie still in its cradle
when awake. Anxious mothers, on the
watch for every movement. are far too
apt to take the child up the moment it
moves or awakens; it looks so pretty
and engaging, too, with the pink color
in its little checks, and the bright eyes
opening with awakening interest. 1t
is very tempting to take it up and toss
it around, sing to it. make all those
many uncanny noises which some
mothers think essential to its develop
ment; and baby is SO bright and win
some, so smart, as it is the fashion to
say. or so cunning, that fcw reflect how
bad all this excitement and turmoil is
for tho nerves. or trace connection
between the noisy chirping and tossing
of tho play-hour and the restless, un-
easy sleep in the evening. 1t is not a
welcome fact, but it is very pregnant
one, that the less babies are talked to
and noticed the first year, tho better.
All success in training them, indeed,
depends upon this calm letting them
alone, leaving tho nerves unwrought
upon, and allowing the little frame
time to become accustomed tn the sJrain
uponi It of acquaintance with this rest
less, rioting world of ours.
The children Of tho working poor are
in this respect far better of than those
of the wcll-to-do; II later they miss
much in tho culture OF good habits. they
are. as babies, left SO much alone. that,
take them nil in all, they are peacea bio
and quiet. One rarely hears tho char
woman or seamstress talk of walking
up and down all night with frctfnl,
excitable baby. Ono Of the compensa-
tions of poverty Is that its children arc
left in peace, for tho reason that no ono
has the time to spend on exciting them.
1t may be u negative training that they
get. but It Is the very best sort Of train
Ing for tho baby under twelvemonth,
and one thatmay be very advantageous

In most localities there are wild

counter with III; yet It is . curious
fact that . Jack will almost always
kill one in fair fi ght. The particu-
hrs Of . fight Of this sort were related
to me by cattle man who was en-.
gagged in bringing out blooded stock
from tho East Among the animals
under his charge were two great STALE
ions. one gray and ono black and a
fine jackass. not much over half the
size Of either of the former. The AMI.
mails were kept in separate pens. but
one day both horses got into the same
inclosure. next to the jack-pon. and
began to fight rs orly enrngcd STALL
ions can. striking like boxers with
their forefeet, and biting with their
teeth. The gray was getting the best
Of IL; but while clin ched with his an-
tagonist in one tussle they rolled
against the jack-pen. breaking It in.
No sooner was tho jack at liberty
than, with ears laid back and mouth
wido opon. he made straight for the
two horses. who had for the moment
separated. The gray turned to meet
him, rearing on his hind legs
and striking at him with his
fore.feet; but tho jack slipped in.
and in minute grasped his antago-
mist by he throat with his wide-open
Jaws, and then held on like bulldog,
all four feet planted stiffiy in the soil.
The stallion made tremendous efforts
to shake him off; he would try to whirl
round end kick him. but for that the
jack was too short; then he would rise
up lifting tho jack If the ground.
and strike at him with his fore feet;
but oil that no gained by this was to
skin his foes front legs without max
ing him loose his hold. Twice. they
fell, and twicc the stallion rose. by
main strength dragging the jack with
him; but oil in vain. Meanwhile the
black horse attacked both the combat
ants with perfect impartiality. strik.
ing and kicking them with his hoofs.
while his teoth. rs they slipped of the
