Superstitions for Wran9cl Babies.

So many ladies', youth and babies, es-
pecially the latter, met our astounded
gaze as we wandered around the picnic
ground last Tuesday, believing as we
did, that they had deserted our town,
with the other squealers and kickers.
We were inspired to hunt up something
pertaining to the sweet little blue berry
stained cherubs, and are satisfied that
eacn fond parent will find some conso-
lation in the following:
We were all babies once.
And some of us babies yet.
For baby to lie with its legs crossed
is sign of health.
When baby tries to get it's toe in
its mouth, it is a sign it will be good
dancer.
When the baby rocks its own cradle,
it is the sign of the advent of new sis
ter or brother.
Ugly in the cradle, handsome in the
saddle. Homely in the cradle, lovely in
the ball room.
II baby three months old cannot
make its left leg and right hand meet
over its back, it is sign it will be
sickly.
Twin babies should always be laid
with their faces together. If they are
placed back to back, they will quarrel
and not love each other.
If a baby is extremely small when
born and lives, it is likely to be large
person, while if extremely large it will
not be very big when grown.
Rain with sunshine in the month of
May will make the little ones healthy
if they run around in it. Let your
baby 60 out in such rain. 1t will do
it good.
Ifyou put pen into a baby's hand
first, it will be intellectual and literary;
if brush, an artist; if a bible, q
clergyman; if money, business man;
If payer lawyer.

ago. 1t WAS when Miss Bessie was 16
years Of age that q barn door blew against
her and bruised her hip, causing her to

without crutches, but the old trouble
came back and she took treatment with
euccess at the Grace hospital In Detroit.
Suffering again, che returned to the hos.
pi;al, but while the details OF the case

ardent worker being prominently identi-
fed with the Y. P. $. G. Il. She was
patient in her suffering, and Of the most
amiable disposition She was most

came afflicted with a hip joint disease
