Children's Meals.

Children should be taught to be regular
at their meals and to take nothing between
meals. This rule applies to infants as
we'll as to older children. The practice OF
feeding the little one every time ii cries Is
a most serious injury to its weak digestive
organs. An infants stomach, though 1t
needs food at more frequent tintervals-two
10 four hours, according to its age-requires
the same regularity which is essential to
the maintenance of healthy digestion In
older persons. The irregularity usually
practiced il undoubtedly one of the great
est causes of the fearful mortality of in
fants from disorders of the digestive or
gans, as appears in our mortuary reports.

Until he felt inclined:
And though they showered blow on blow
He wouldn't change his mind.

This here mules bound to stay"
And still upon the critters hide
With lash they fired away.
His master from the shore replied.

As every other means we've tried.
Suppose you twist his tail9"

But the noblest critter killed that day,
