NERVES OF CHILDREN.
The Importance of Protecting In
fants from Excitement

1t is wisely observed that intelligent
people are beginning To understand the
Importance of protecting the nervous
system in infancy and the danger Of d
shock to childish nerves. As rule.
the more quiet baby is kept during
the first year of it's life the better chance
it has for a life of health and happi-
ness. The fact that so large q pro-
portion of the human family die in
infancy is due largely to the folly of
nurses and the ignorance of mothers.
Overbright babies do not commend
themselves to physicians, who know
that the first year of child's life
should be spent largely in sleep. All
efforts to arouse the dormant mind of
the child at this period are attended
with danger. The foolish practice of
tossing a helpless baby in the air while
il screams both with alright and de-
light is most dangerous one. A phy-
sician with large practice tells the
story of precociously bright child
which showed evident delight when
tossed in this way by doting grand
father, who was accustomed 10 play
with il in this way every evening. The
child trembled with delight when the
nights frolic was over. but one evening
from this trembling il passed into Il
spasm, the first indication Of one OF
those fatal brain diseases against which
medical science is helpless Nothing
could be done but to wait until the little
life had flown to a happier land.-Chi-
cago Tribune.

LIE Page du Pratt tells of class of
obstinate Indian gamblers of the early
colonial days of Louisiana. who were
so infatuated with gambling game of
their own invention, which Du Pratt
calls the game of 'La Perche," that the
player who may have lost all his per-
sonal belongings would go secretly and
purloin the belongings of his wife and
play them away also. Very often, when
they had staked their bed clothing. and
lost even that, the hard-headed gam
blers of this description would go 10 the
French planters and bargain for new
bed covering, much to the dislike of the
planters, who rarely received any pay
