A Strange Nursery.

On the slopes Of the Iiimalayas the
native women have Il most curious plan
of dispensing of t..eir babies and keeping
them quiet while they are engaged at
work in the fields curing the greater
part of the day. Before the mothers set
out to work i'll the morning they wrap
their babies i'll %swaddling bands, lcav-
ing nothing but their little faces ex-
posed. Then the babies are taken and
laid under u ledge Of rock from which
water is falling, and by means of n
bamboo the water is made to drip gem
tly on each baby's forehead. The effect
of the dripping water is most soothing.
and soon the little ones are all asleep
and remain m~otionless till taken up by
their mothers OH their return from their
work, when they are carried off to be
unwrapped, dried and fed.

singular anecdotc, which comcs from
what appears to be good authority:
Some 80 years ago it happened that Il

neither exhortution nor orders could

GIVE THE PRESIDENT TlME

There is IA disposition i'll many quar-
tere Of this country to believe that the
president of the United States has
sorue ,mngical power and can do in
stuu.iy what he chooses for good or
icc i'll. This wrong conception OF
presidential power has been greatly
ros.ered by the demagogues who roam
.he land With open mouths and empty
1eads. Gut the president can only e
eente the laws and recommend new
eyes. la this way he is said to con
ssrt,cl IL policy. But he can much
easier make IL law of the land than
trm Of nature. That no man can do
hut, siAgularly enough. that is what
many presidents are asked to do. In.
dse,i, they are asked to do more- they
are. advised to break the law of the
lard in IL vain effort to create a new
iavf of nature.
