dealer in leather goods ON the Upper

breeches, epaulets, gauntlets, body
servants, farewell addresses, hatchets,
racing accounts and betting books
have from time to time been exhibited
under The due authorization to his
grateful foster-countrymen. II il wi

thirty-two inches long by fourt cen high,
adorned and secured as well by red
leather strips nailed on with brass
headed tacks and fitted out with black,
solid-looking iron handles of much the
same out ward sembance. on a smaller
scale, as the old-fashioned iron door

approach George had to "a dress-slIit

neat and particular about his per-

pair of shoes in addition, for George
wore No. 10, and never found them
unlucky. This size of his boot is his

Why Babies Cry.

The bay screams and the father
more often the mother walks the
floor with it through the long hours of
the night. DO healthy babies cry !?
They do not. When babies cry there
is something wrong i'm the manage
ment. Frequently it is the arrange
ment OF the clothing. Swaddle a
young ape i'm the clothing "a baby is
Obliged to wear and he will scream his
life out. They crawl naked i'm the sand
around the parental hut. Give the
babies elbow room. Astoic could not
endure the constrained positions into
which babies are forced by their I'M
natural clothing.
Often the fault is the diet. The
stimulants which pervade the culinary
department irritate the young and
delicate nervous tissue. Then babies
cry and bother people and 'paregoric''
is brought upon the scene. The baby
cries for "a little common-sense treat
ment and receives poison some peo-
pie have conscientious scruples about
giving children paregoric, but other
narcotics are sold under pleasanter
names and at popular prices. st
