Child Hygiene--Should Child Sleep Alone?

Enable influence over young children, a health
giving power not at present well understood. The
new baby is still in certain sense, part Of its
mother, although separate unit. Its wel-being
requires close contact with her during the greater
part of the twenty-four hours A bed by itself is
an injustice to helpless infancy. 1t is pater-fami-
las who should seek another resting and not
the new life yet so frail and insecure. Only those
who have tried this natural method can thoroughly
appreciate its advantages, and realize how admir-
ably it nsures the happiness of three persons. The
child can be cared for during the night without ex-
posure or any sudden chill Always warmed and
protected by loving presence, the little one sleeps
long and well. After the weaving period, the baby
has his own bed as matter of course Until then,

into that relative perfection of health and strength
which nature has intended for him. The human
mother is the only animal that puts away its young
at night probably because the right kind of rea-
son has not yet taken the place of differentiated
instinct. The hen gathers her brood under her
wings; the mother bear forms herself into a sort
of animated woolly nest about her cubs, just as a
cats body embraces her kittens. Our cousins of
the lower orders may not be such bad example to
follow after all. At any rate, why not give those
wonderful weans" the benefit of the Doubt

be taken into account and also the wrong doing
of the mother. Our correspondents have written
frankly and earnestly, and have treated the point
in the discussion with perfect propriety This is
not senseless abuse, it is legitimate criticism. Does
Mrs Hawes maintain that in discussing the sub
ject Of unhappy children and their wretched
mothers, we should draw veil of tender, respect
full silence over the fathers share of the wrong
done? Mrs. Haweis is much too clear thinker
to believe that The fact is we have spoilt men.
Our ears are not accustomed to hear men failings
coolly, critically and frankly stated by women,
even when such statement arises necessarily and
solely out of practical desire to put straight
wrong; it sounds harsh when it is only unusual
and new.
All the more urgent the necessity for the women
to square up to the man and to say to him--"Our
ideal of a noble manhood is not satisfied you shall
neither drink nor gamble, nor degrade your sexual
nature. We claim from you, our companion,
purity and honesty, and that you shall do your
duty to God-without it you cannot command our
respect, still less our love. In no case shall you
command our silence" 1t is true in this sense,
and perhaps in others Also that we women have
much to answer for, and that we have failed in cur
duty to man. All women are mothers, whether
they have borne children or not, and all men are
their children, whether they are little or bg-but
we have been foolish mothers spelling our children;
wehave not shown ourselves capable of the true and
brave love of the noble mother who desires only
the highest good of those she loves. Peace at any
price has been our rule, and heavy indeed is the
price that the whole human family is paying for
our spot chldren-the men.
Sex does not exist merely and only for the ply
steal creation of the human family, it has also a
more spiritual object. Its most elevating function
is that each sex shall help the other to higher
life, and the woman has failed especially IN that
duty because her subsection to man has made her
fearful and tmid. She has not dared to say what
she knows to be truth about her mate, and now
that she begins to find her courage, her honesty,
and her voice, it sounds strange to some of US
but it is the beginning of the higher life for men
and for women, too. "Perfect love casteth out
fear" and women are preparing the way for per-
feet love by learning to cast out fear.-Woman's

One of the most remarkable feats in modern
journalism was achieved by Mrs. Isabella B. Bar
rows, of Boston. She wrote a verbatim report of
a speech made in German by Carl Schurz, which
she turn into English while her pen was flying

write geographically and translate from German
to English simultaneously was remarkable piece
