Common Sense About Baby.

OF the silly and barbarous acts
perpetrated against the baby none
is more reprehensible than that of
pinning'him as tightly as possibly in.

to submit quietly to the martyrdom.
He does protest however, and when
he walls and struggles against the
inhuman treatment he is tossed up
and down until his poor little head
is giddy, trotted until his homes ache

sinks into the sleep of nervous ex-

Fretful.
Who ever heard Of a bird hopping
up and down on the branch upon
which her nest hangs until she put
her birds 10 sleep, or a cat carrying
her kitten back and fourth for hours
to soothe it to rest? A baby is but
