Poor German Babies.

The babies of Germany are not allowed
as large a liberty as those Of America.
They are for the better part of the first
year of their earthly ? grimage tightly
wound up in swaddlinZ clothes, with both
arms and legs pinioned, and carried about
on pillow especially made for the pur-
pose. After they escape from their wrap
pings bag of feathers is tied on their
backs so that when they tumble over they
have something to fall upon. Those OF
the poorer classes are laid in a basket with
a little bag of sugar in their mouths, and
are expected to behave themselves without
much further attention from mother or
nurse. The nurses on the streets gener.
ally carry the babies in their arms Oh a
pillow, and they are tied to il with pink
ribbons, lying as still and motionless as II
they were little mummies- They cannot
kick or use their arms. and evidently are
not allowed to know during their pulling
days what their legs and arms are in
tended for. We don't think our babies
would stand it, as we observe that Ger.
man women, when they come 10 America,
don't attempt TO practice any such tyr
amy on their babies.-Exchange
