They always tell babies that "Fa-
theirs gone a-hunting' (Which may or
may not be true) "to fetch little rab-
bit skim" which is certainly a down
right lie; for no father ever preferred
a little rabbit to a big one, or used
such thing to wrap "a baby bunting
in" (whatever particular kind of baby
that may beD
That's the way-they begin by tell
ing you all sorts of lies, and then ex-
pect you to grow up a truthful man.
AS you lie in your cradle
They lie unto you
They say bays lovely"
And you know it's not true.
Then you lie in your boyhood
Because 1t seems brave
And so on, till lastly
You lie in your grave.
1t doesn't much matter what you
say to a baby anyway. The fiery un-
tanned bachelor usually starts with
Halo, old chap!" or something con-
versational; but, finding no response
falls ultimately into the incoherent
mutterings that are kept for babies
and other pet animals

Poor bachelor. to his eyes baby is
but an expressionless face, bald pate,
pair of fiabby arms and heap of
clothes. To his ears its language is
nothing but incoherent screams out of
all proportions to it's size. To his touch
there is nothing but a desperately fra
gile parcel of luke-warm draperies.
Bunch of clothes
Absent nose
Bald on top
Yells wont stop.
But to the mothers touch there is
delicious warmth, delicate softness,
tender thrills. To her ears come sweet
love notes, gentle petitions, hopes that
stretch away into soft blue haze of the
infinite. To her eyes the baby face is
the epitome of all that is purest and
best in her double life, the outline of
the great life to be filled in under her
watchful care, and in the depths of
those fathomless eyes that reflect her
own, she reads of the heaven whence
they came, and the glory of the here
after to which she shall lead the wax
ing soul.
Like the shell of varied hue
In the clear lagoon that lies
Is the ever-changing blue
That / see in baby's eyes.
Like the rushes awaying throng
Round the crystal pool thot rise
Are the lashes soft and long
That encircle baby's eyes.
Like bright Vesper's limpid rays
Shining soft in summer skies
Is the pure and steadfast gaze
That / watched in baby's face.
All surely one white ray
OF calm eternity's
Has left the perfect day
To dwell in baby's eyes.

paper. He also founded the Pail Mall
Magazine. He has two great houses in
England. One is Cliveden- on Thames,
Wnlcn he bought from the Duke of
westminster. The other is Lansdowne
House, in Berkeley Square, the largest
mansion available, which he leased
Irom the Marquis of Lansdown. Let
us now pay a little attention to Prince
Alexander of Teck. He is only a 'tSe-
rene and not a "Royal Richness. !"
but the great fact is that his sister is
Ducness OF York, and will some day
ne queen OF England. The princes
tather was the issue of a morganatic
marriage between son of the King of
Bavaria and a plain noblewoman. He
ceased to be royal, and he and his son
'atter him have been Their Serene
H1ghnesses the Dukes of Teck."
Inc present duke married her royal
highness, Princess Mary Of Cambridge,
granddaughter Of George III. of Eng
land. Prince Alexander is their third
child, and was born in 1874. He is a.
lieutenant in the Seventh Hussars and
a big, handsome fellow. The Prince of
Teck>s position in England is a Gu
ufous one. Through his mother he is
a descendant Of king of England, but
the only rank he has is derived from
his father, whose title is foreign one,
and who is also OF royal descent, but
not royal rank. Nevertheless, Prince
Alexander is of much more Importance
in england than the younger son of
any Old German duke. In the ordinary
course of events his sister will be queen
of England, and his wife will be q sis
ter-in-law of the queen. One could
hardly get nearer the fountain of social
honor than this. Prince Alexander is
subject to the English act of parliament
which requires the sovereign's consent
to the marriage of all descendants of
George H., except those who have be-
come members of foreign reigning fam
lilies. Would the queen consent to his
marriage with an American girl? We
know nothing about it. There would
be a possibility of Prince Alexander's
1nherlting the throne, but there are
about 200 lives between him and it.
The prince has apartments in the St.
James Palace, London, granted him by
the queen. The Duke of Westminster,
the richest man in England, has il
vested heavily in Teck stock. When
his daughter, Lady Margaret Grosven-
or, married the eldest son of the Duke
and Duchess of Teck, he put up $5,0oO.-

The greatest heiress of American

that marriage between Miss Pauline
