Mothers, in training their little ones t.
walk, seem never to think of how bone4
grow; that the bones in child's legs ana
soft, half cartilaginous and that it is al
easy thing to bend them. Hence thu
need of being careful about having then
children walk too soon, or of keeping
them ON their feet too long when the
are first learning to walk. The senselesi
conduct of many parents in urging THEN
children to walk prematurely is pro
ductive of lasting injury.
Long before soft bones ought to have
any strain put upon them. you will see
these poor infants made to stand, and
even to walk, and by the time they ara
fourteen or sixteen months old their little
legs have been bent very considerably,
Pitiful and permanent deformities pro
duced in this way are seen on every
hand.
Under year let the child creep, but
do let 1t walk, seldom, indeed, stand, and
then only for a moment; and from a year
to eighteen or twenty months do not
encourage 1t to walk much. still less to
set it mp on its feet to make it walk

A stable That Rival. That Of wales.

A wealthy horse owner, who had been
all over the world, said year ago that
the Vanderbilt stable at Madison avenue
and Fifty-second street was the largest
and handsomest equipped stable he had
ever seen, and eclipsed even the famous
stables of the Prince of Wales This
stable is two stories in height, is built
of brick and brown stone, and covers
four city lots. The exercising ring in
the northern side is covered with glass
dome, and is about fifty feet long and
forty feet wide. 1t has a tanbark ring.
On the stone floor in the center rest the
| sleigh, the light wagon and the buggy
that the railroad king used in his life
time. They have never been disturbed
since his death.
Mrs. w. H. Vanderbilt and George
w. Vanderbilt, her son, use this splendid
stable now 1t has dozen large stallt
finished in oak. One of them was the
one that was reserved for Maud S when
the mare was Mr.. Vanderbilt's property.
In the carriage room are five vehicles
that are gems of carriage building art,
Two are of American make and three o!
French manufacture. The vehicles an
provided with the rubber cushioned tire,
to secure smooth riding. One, a high
spring, was built in Paris, and is reputed
to be the finest of its kind in the United
States.
In the hay loft that extends the entirl
length of the building are stored lighl
wagons, skeleton wagons and other driv
ing wagons.--New York Sun.

Nests In Queer Places.

In the journal of the Bombay Natural
History society Lieutenant H. E. Barnes
gives some interesting particulars about
the house sparrows of western India. At
Deessa he found that pair had built
their nest in the antlers of sambur in
the veranda. Another pair had appro-
priated soap box in the bathroom, and
although their nest was destroyed sew
eral times they persisted in building q
fresh one till they were left alone out OF
compassion.
A third pair actually built in a de-
serted bird cage hanging against the
wall, and there they reared their brood,
In spite of the fact that the cage was
often taken down and shown to visitors
Once the eggs were stolen and the birds
made such a fuss as led the residents to
find them. Lieutenant Barnes also
states that these sparrows attack their
own image in q looking glass, and will
fight it all day long, "only leaving off
when darkness sets in, to begin the
battlenext day." TWAS found necessary

Not ON the Mans.

A correspondent writes that young
lady, whose sweetheart was in the Con-
federate army, received from him letter
that had been Struggled through the
lines, for he had been taken prisoner
and sent to Tennessee.
After reading the letter she went to the
house of a neighbor and asked to see a
map. After long search she said she
could not find the place where Mr.
W was.
Where is it, do you say, Mollie?"
asked her friend.
"Duranceville," replied Mollie, after
looking again at the letter.
Her friend and she still diligently
searched the map, but no such place
could be found. Atlast they persuaded
her to show them that part 81 the letter.
