Chi!dren's Clothing.

An English surgeon calls attention to
the great discomfort, or actual injury,
caused by i'll fitting garments worn by
n growing child. Clothing for young
children is usually made in large guam
titles at a time. All the garments of
the lot are cut after n fixed pattern, the
different parts being pieced together
rapidly and stitched by machine, all at
the least possible cost.
The clothes are usually graded ac-
cording to age instead of by size, and
so a child who is larger or smaller than
the average for his years gets Il misft
But even those whose size and age
agree are often No better off.
The parent may notice that the child
stoops and cannot be made to carry it
self erect. Some one, perhaps the fam
lily physician. may suggest that the
frock is not loose enough. but the
mother demonstrates to her own salts
faction that it is by gathering up folds
Of the garment in her hand or by run
ming her hand under Il.
But IL the frock is removed and
measured front and back, it viii be

Otherwise the hair will be sticky when

bedciothes are o.tcl arranged "lth an
intricary that is quite curious aud per

that each separate delicate hair stands
upright, thus giving the entile nest

laid spiralIv round q tiny branch, and
as the covering follows Their courso
the effect resembles the bdshY tail Of

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

A great opportunity will only make
you ridiculous unless you are pre-
pared for it.
The true reward of workman is
not his wages, but the consciousness
of having done good job.
1t is not our failures that ruin us,
but our fear and tardiness in making
new beginnings after failure.
One OF the highest eminences upon
which we may stand il this lie is to
be able to look hack upon long life
we'll spent
There are few things impossible in
themselves, and the application nee
essary to make them succeed is more
cften wanting than the means.
The reflection Of light remains light,
even when it is troubled We may
not see the shape of our star when the
ripples shake it, but its color and
radiance are always there.
Work is victory. Wherever work
is done victory is obtained There
is no chance and no blanks. You
want but one verdict; if YOU have
your own you are secure Of the rest.
