HAPPY BABYHooD.

Every mother wants her baby to thrive,
because healthy child is a happy child.
The question of how the baby shall be fed
is demanding the attention, as never before,
not only of the mothers in the land, but of
the entire medical profession also, because
it is now realized how much the health of q
child can be influenced by proper nutrition
during the years of babyhood. AS the re-
suit of the improper feeding Of the infant,
the vitality Of the child is impaired, and he
grows up weak and puny. In these days
when artificial food is being SO generally re-
sorted to for infants, the demand for a SUBJ
stitute for mothers milk has brought out
many foods for which great claims are
made. Gustav Mellin, an English chemist,
was the first to discover and combine the
requisite properties necessary for an arti-
fetal food, and with his discovery the
rational feeding of infants commenced.
Mellin's Food is the only perfect substitute
for mothers milk, and it has done more to
make babies strong and healthy than any.
thing else that has ever been invented.
Mellin's Food possesses all the requisite
heat and flesh producing and bone-forming
constituents necessary to give child
health, vigor and vitality. Infants are ex-
ceedingly fond of 1t and thrive upon it when
nothing else can be retained upon the
stomach. If they have been weak, fretful
and troublesome they become happy,
healthy and active; bright eyes, rosy
cheeks, firm muscles and q strong consti-
this excellent preparation. Mellin's Food,
being highly nutritious and easily digested,
is also perfectly adapted to the wants of in.

first to commence the conversation by
the somewhat characteristic inquiry:
do you think I look like a grand
mother?" "Deed no; / thocht ye was

ing to the Duchess of Fife, who at that
moment Joined her mother. The prin-

still wonderfully youthful appearance,
after a little further conversation took
out her purse and offered piece of sill

of God ARE treated in that broad and
liberal manner natural to one who

OPENING THE LITTLE WINDOW.

Grandma Stones library was so full
of books and pictures that mamma
thought Evelyn could easily amuse her
self there for half an hour, while she
went up stairs to see the poor old lady
who was sick in bed.
But half-hour is a long time when
little girl is by herself; the pictures OF
Madonnas and horse fairs and sunsets
did not interest her very much. and she
could not read any bigger book than the
Easy Steps for Little Feet" which
grandma did not seem to have on her
shelves.
The thing that pleased Evelyn most
was pot of daphne, with it's white,
waxy flowers, which was blooming on
the deep easement of the east window.
By climbing up to the sofa and then tip
toeing she could thrust her little turned
up nose into the sticky cluster of bloom.
N.Y. how sweet it was! Sweeter than
the lilies of the valley, our little flower
lover thought; sweeter than violets,
sweeter even than her own pink
hyacinth, blooming in white and gold
pot at home.
All, little Eve! you would better keep
away from the daphne's dangerous
sweetness. II wish l had just one bloom
to take home" she said to herself;
"grandmas sick upstairs anyhow, and 1
know Robert don't ever care to smell
'em." Robert was the colored butler.)
Evelyn put out her little hand, and the
white blossom was in great danger. but
a sound in the hall startled her; she
dropped back on the sofa, and mamma
came in.
How quickly mothers do see things!
There was look in Evelyn's eyes that
told this mother the whole story, but
she didn't say anything about it at first;
she put on the little girls coat and hat,
and they set out for home.
"Once there was band Of robbers"
said mamma. as they walked along. land
they came to castle by night, and tried
to break in; but the walls we're strong
and the door was tight, and they could
not get in. Presently one of them found
a tiny little window unbarred, but go
small that he could only thrust his head
in. What did they do? Why, they
found little boy, wee little boy, and
they put him through the narrow win
dow and Re unlocked the big door. and
30 all the robbers got into the CASTLE"
''Is that all of the story, mammal
asked Evelyn, with much interest.
THAT is not quite all; the rest Of it is
to show what it means. When little
girl does something that seems little
wrong only very little wrong, indeed
like pulling grandma's flowers with
out leave, that is like utting the little
thief inside the castle; the little wrong
makes it easier to do bigger and big
ger wrong. The only safe thing is to
keep the little window shut, and not
open it to any little wrong doing, how
ever small.

TRADITION OF THE HORSESHOE.
How It Came to Be Protection Against
 Evil Spirits.

In Morocco iron is considered a great protection against demons, who are the lineal representatives, after all, of the hostile spirits. Hence it is usual to place knife or dagger under sick mans pillow, his illness, of course, being attributed to demoniacal pos session. In India, records writer in Cornhill Magazine, the mourner who performs the necessary but somewhat dangerous duty of putting fire into the dead mans mouth carries a key or knife in his hand, to keep off the evil spirits. In short, a bit of iron is very useful thing to have about you at any time if you desire to escape the un- favorable attention of the ghosts, the trolls, the fairies and the demons gen. orally. This is good reason for buy ing pocketknife. It is also a reason for mailing up horseshoe. But why horseshoe in particular?" you ask, 'more than any other odd piece of iron?" Well, primarily, the good luck depends more upon the iron as iron than on the special shape or function of the horseshoe as horseshoe.
 But there are also many reasons why the superstition should happen to fix itself more particularly upon horse shoes. We must remember that in Flu rope, at least, it is the cattle, the horses and the domestic beasts in general that are specially liable to the hostile at Jacks of s'the little peoDle." There fore the elves and trolls are most likely to be dreaded on farms or in the coun- try, where horses and cattle most do congregate. Now, if you want to nail up bit of iron as a protection against the fiery darts of the evil ones on your stables or cowhouses (which is the place where one oftenest sees them)
 nothing is more likely to come handy to your purpose than cast horseshoe. Besides, it has obvious congruity for the place and object, and it can be readily picked up in the roads almost anywhere. Furthermore, it is pro- vided beforehand with convenient holes, by means of which you can readily hang it up, either over your own house door or over your sheds and stables.
