Amusing the Baby.

A baby will be attracted for a time
by some fine toy that he can simply
look at, but he viii spend ten times as
long in putting pegs into holes in a
board contrived for the purpose or in
taking out one by one from well-filled
basket articles, no matter what-spools,
blocks, clothespins anything that
they are sometimes changed and he
does not tire of the monOtony. Then
the task Of putting them all back keeps
him busy for a still longer time.
AS baby becomes more discerning
and his fingers more nimble, pleasing
device for his employment is a board
with variously shaped holes-round
square, triangular, etc.-with blocks
and spheres to fit into the various
places. Should these be In bright cOlors
his love for color may also be gratitied
and learning these colors soon follows
Little tasks of carrying articles from
one portion OF the room to another, ol
from room to room, will often keep q
child busy and interested for hours.
