"Rock-a-Bye Baby" which beautifully
adapts and incorporates the old and
familiar lullaby, is Miss Effie l.. Cam
ming, young girl who was born in
Rockland, Me, and is now a resident
of Boston. Her success at either verse
or music making had not been especial
ly great until, by sort of sudden in
spiration, she produced the now cele-
brated lullaby whose popularity, it is a

much profit to the composer. Miss Can
ming is-a tall, slender girl, with big
brown eyes, full of the sympathy that
finds its best expression in art.

IT would be good thing if the gov

ployes the same supervision that it
maintains over men engaged in the
Steamboat service. No accident occurs
on the rivers or the great lakes without
being made the subject of investiga-
tion by government inspectors. The
captain, the innate or the engineer who
is found guilty of carelessness or negli-
gence suffers by the revocation of his
license, and this warns others that eter-
nal vigilance only will enable them to
pursue their chosen callings. A similar
system applied to the railroads would
soon reduce the number of wrecks
