but making little progress.

Measuring the Baby.


We measured the riotous baby
Against the cottage wall,
lily grew at the threshold,
And the boy was just as tall
A royal tiger-lily.
With spots of purple and gold.
And the heart of "a jewelld chalice
The fragrant dew to hold.
without the blue birds whistled,
High up in the old roof trees,
And to and fro at the window
The red rose rocked her bees;
And the wee pink fists of the baby
Were never moment still.
Snatching at shine and shadow
That danced on the window sill.
His eyes were as wide as bluebells-
His mouth like flower unblown--
Two little bare feet, like funny white mice, !
Peeped out from his snowy gown;
And we thought with thrill of rapture
That yet had a touch of PAIN.
When June rolls around with her roses
Wen measure the boy again.
All mel in q darkened chamb er.
With the sunshine shut, away.
Through the tears that fell like bitter rain,
We measured the boy to-day:
And the little bare<deet that were dimpled
And sweet as afbudding rose,
Lay side by,siefe together.
In the Oh of long repose.
Up frop1 the dainty pillow.
White as the risen dawn,
The fair little face lay smiling.
4 With the light of heaven thereon;
And the dear little hands, like rose leaves
Dropped from rose, lay still,
Never to catch at the sunshine
That crept to the shrouded sill.
We measured the sleeping baby
With ribbons white as snow,
For the shining rosewood casket
That waited him below;
And out of the darkened chamber
We went with childless moan;
To the height of the sinless angels
Our little one had grown.

Nine Suggestions Which Every
Mother of Family Should Heed.

-&4Ob<
Nine Suggestions Winch Every
Mother ofa Family Should Heed.
We find in the Youths Companion
few little hits of advice which every
mother and father should read.
Many serious case of illness and
often the life. of little one is saved
by giving attention to what are call
ed little things. They may be called
little, but they are far reaching in
their effects:
See to it that the children thor.
oughly warm their feet before going
to school, and on returning home.
They are seldom disposed to do it OF
themsclve. Many serious cold, or
other indammatory attack might be
prevented by attention to this pre-
caution.
2-Teach the children, when out of
doors, to keep their mouths closed
and breathe through their nostrils.
This prevents the air-the tempera-
ture of which may be zero-flom
striking directly on the tonsils and
larynx. AS the nasal passages are
kept constantly warmed by the
breathfrom the heated lungs, the in
breathed air is warmed as it passes
circuitousDy through them.
3-Children who are liable to in
iammation and swelling of the ton
sils, or to troubles in the ear, should
wear hoods that come well over on the
forehead and well down over the
neck. Hats are dangerous for such
children, and so are bonnets, unless
care be taken to bring then down
over the sides of the head.
Ain our cities and large towns
especially, children are inclined to sit
together on the stone steps, which
are often ice cold. This practice
needs to be guarded against: Every
thoughtful mother will readily see
how dangerous it is for her girls.
5-On returning from cold walk
or ride, throw off all but the home
clothing at once. The outer clothing
is nearly at the temperature of the
outer atmosphere, and, if kept on,
must absorb much heat, which might
otherwise have come To the wearer
Immediately,
Elm dressing and undressing in a
cold room, move about as little as
possible when the slippers are off.
The carpet jusS under the feet is
warmed by abstracting heat from the
feet and the person has the advantage
Of it, while every change takes addi-
ton heat to warm new place. In
undressing keep the slippers on as
long as convenient; in dressing put
them on as soon as possible.
TT chamber is without o wool.
en- carpet be sure to have a wooden
mat or rug, or bit OF carpeting near
the bed ON which to stand.
8-All slippers for use in cold
weather should haye extra inner
soles, to lift the feet from the cold
floor and to retain the natural heat.
Where nothing else can be had such
soles can be cut from card board. A
thickness of woo'en cloth should be
stitched on each side.
9-For women in the kitchen, slip
pers made of wooden uppers and thick
felt soles are desirable. Slippers are
preferable for home use to buttoned
boots. as they facilitate the warming
of the feet, which is otherwise apt to
be unduly neglected.
