Don't hang curtains around the
cot' Children need plenty of air,
especially when sleeping.
Don't place the cot in position
where the light will fall on the child'f
eyes; nor in draught.
Don't make up the baby's bed on
the floor. The air is most pernicious
near the floor. and nnrost in the mid
die Of the room.
Don't forget the children's clothing
should be warm but light.
Don't forget to remove the child
to cot, with hair mattress, when
it is old enough to leave the cradle.
Don't neglect to air the children'a
bed clothes every day, taking them
in about noon.
Don't allow child to sleep with
an older person its rest will be less
disturbed and more beneficial alone.
Don't neglect any Of the foregoing
hints.--Omoga.

"I Think" she said to her husband,

Johns Hopkins Y nSyefsityS has
issued q circular containing an alb alb
stract os IAN article by q. Ballagh,
lswhich ass Ghss &
Historical Association of the Uni
yersity. alllagh gives d very
extensive Iand comprehensive view
tof3slayery, tracing its history from
the earliest records. His review Of
the history Of slavery in this coun-
try 5is especially interesting AIassa-
chusctssss tssss was the fa.iTsss aiTsSoff Of the colonies
to give statutory recognition Sin
slavery This arecognition was in
the follcTing order: Massachusetts
in 1641, Connecticut in 1860, Vir-
ginia in 1861, Maryland in 1868,
New York and New Jersey in1664,
South Carolina in 1882, Pennsylya-
MIA in 100, North Carolina in 1715
and Georgia in 1865. The defini-
tion Of full status by the addition of
incidents demanded by social, eco
nomio and political reasons was
gradual, continuing through the
eighteenth century in the North and
until the second half Of the nine
teentn century in the South. All
the colonies by duties tried to re-
strict the undue importation of
slaves" 1t will be seen that slavery
was "recognized" by two New
England colonies before a Southern
colony took such action. The origi-
nal charter of Georgia prohibited
slavery and the sale of rum, which
was then the most GO nmcn .intox;-
cant. Mr.. Ballagh takes philo-
sophie view of slavery when he says
that it must be considered as q stage,
the lowest, perhaps, in the develop
ment of dependent labor. "In it's
use," he says, Gas all organized form
Of dependent labor, slavery repre-
sents a stage in progressive, social
and industrial development and is
closely related with other forms of
labor, suoh as English villanage,
European vassalage, American and
French colonial servitude and mod
ern dependent free labor. The
status of slavery in North America
was as much o native development
as it was in Africa, tbe Spanish
colonies and elsewhere. Both in the
case of Indians and negroes it passed
first through the stage of servitude,
limited in time in most of the Eng
lish colonies if not in ALL This was
certainly true of Virginia, Maryland,
Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Geor-
gia, North Carolina and South Caro-
lima. Slavery differed from servi-
tude chiefly in the perpetuity of the
loss of personal and civil liberty"
Mr.. Ballagh brings out the interest
ing fact that the first negroes
brought to this country were not
slaves, but had the same status as
white servants. The slave trade in
America was initiated in New Eng
land and became very large and
profitable industry to the thrifty
Yankees who engaged in it. Mr..
Ballagh has given us very valua-
bic condensation of vast amount
of historical knowledge.-Orange-
burg Times and Democrat.

Allen, and tomorrow I will rest.
The changing of the water is almost
complete. BY tonight the clear,

warves of Poolsville-by tonight the
whistling Of the boats and the vibra-

tomorrow Will rest"
"To-morrow you will rest" sadly
thought Allen. "Maybe tomorrow,
anyway it will not be long"
1t was late that afternoon when
Allen heard frightful noise in the
presidents room. Rushing in he
found him foundering wildly on the
floor, grasping and catching at every
thing in reach with the movements
of a drowning man.
"Oh, help me, Allen; help me-"
he cried. 81 was standing in the
main channel and the water came

Allen saw that the struggling man
imagined he was drowning; in his
diseased fancy he was struggling
against the pitiless waters of tho
river he himself had diverted. Going
quiokley to him, Allen lifted his
emanoiated form to his chair and with
tender words left him and rushed for
doctor.
The doctors said it was seuile

had met his death by drowning in o
river of his own creating, and to-
morrow he will rest.
