Florence Hull Winterburn, writing of
keeping "A Mothers Notebook" in the
May "Woman's Home Companion claims
this in favor of such a record
1T is chiefly for her own instruction
and guidance that a mother needs to
keep some kind of nursery notebook. For
the refreshment of her memory, when pa
thence is likely to fail, and for the re-
awakening of dulled sympathy with child
ish moods, as well as for the enlighterl-
ment of others to whom she may choose
to impart her experiences, the results of
her labor will more than repay her for
the trouble taken. She need follow no
rules, nor even attempt to max regular
entries, unless she has inclination for the
task. Facts bearing upon physical varia-
ions are extremely valuable, and it is
wise to note the weight and growth of a
child at regular intervals, to ascertain
whether he is developing normally. Even
more important are observations upon his

and the use he makes of his faculties.
Although the mother herself may not be
aware of the standard he should attain.
her statement of facts may give the clue
to a physician when puzzling symptoms

fects of vision might be prevented If the
early signs of their coming on had been
needed. A single incident in a persons
life may give the keynote of his char

Palmistry is distinctly the fad.
Not fortune-telling; Oh! dear no; but
scientific mapping out of ones character,

ILLBGIBLE WRITING.
Some Eminent MenWho Wrote Re-

letters from Germany to Josephine were

from left to right, and his wife from right
to left, but rellher could make out a Syl-

than attempt to read over again What he
had written, and Montague could never
read what he had written. The acute
thinker mended matters by employing a
secretary, whose writing was absolutely
undecipherable. Balzac was a big sinner,

Jacob Bryan said of Archdeacon Coxe's
caligraphy that it could neither be called
a hand nor a fist, but a foot, and that a
club one. His hieroglyphics formed a
clumsy, tangled black skein that ran
across the paper in knots, which it was
impossible to unite into a meaning.
