Let the baby remain in solitude as
much as possible. 1t is noticeable that
when alone baby will exercise more
than when he has visitors. He will
either cry, kick. try to talk, investi-
gate himself. contemplate nature, and
generally develop himself from within
out. When visitors are with him he
is more suppressed, does not kick so
much nor crow loudly to himself. and
does not SO well bring out his soul, his
body and his moral independence.
1t is better for the baby to be SUR
rounded with animals or inanimate OBJ
jects than with people; for then the I'M
pulse toward association comes from
him. not from them. Nothing Is fore
ed upon him in that case: he can de-
velop with comparative naturalness.
1t is noticeable that the baby gets
greater pleasure from his dumb friends
than from his vocferous relatives, who
submerge him with confusing, irrele-
want babble. The inanimate or animal
world Is simple. and consequently
healthily conducive to the growth Of
young child. Even adults do not COM
mune with solitude and with nature
enough. Much society makes one ner-
vous and inane.
Young people are better for the baby
than old people: for old people are all
brought up in the wrong school. There
fore avoid grandparents first Of all,
then old unces and aged friends of the
family.
After all, what the baby really wants
Is food, sleep and exercise and needs
none of the thousand peryersities i'm
agined for it by nurse, friends and
mother of the old type.
In short. be reasonable, unsentiment-
al and unselfsh and care more for the
babyS future than for your present
comfort or amusement

WASPS Benefit THE FIGS.
Insects Are Necessary to the Fruits
successful Cultivation.

,
Successful Cultivation.
The long continued effort to produce
the Smyrna fig of commerce in Cali
fornia has been crowned with success.
The history Of the experiment is inter-
esting. 1t began over twenty years ago
with importation of cuttings from Asia
Minor. Figs have been produced from
these and other imported cuttings, but
they were not the famous white hg OIL
commerce, The credit of producing
the latter in California belongs to Geo.
c. Roeding of Fresno. Until this sum-
mer every true Smyrna fig tree planted
in California which bore fruit failed to
mature it; the figs We're unfertillzed
and withered and dropped. 1t was
finally discovered that the fertilization
of this fig depended upon the service
of the blastophaga wasp, whose habitat
is in the capri, or wild fig. The latter
was imported and thrived amazingly,
but the blastophaga did not accompany
it.
Special importations of the wasp fol
lowed, but it thrived only for season
on the capri fig and then disappeared.
1t was assumed that it could not sur
vive our winters. Last year the De-
partment of Agriculture took the mat
ter in hand a fresh consignment was
imported and its care intrusted to Mr..
Koeding. Last April the young insect
colony emerged in full force from the
first capri cot, entered the second,
emerged again, and then took posses
sion of the Smyrna fig trees, the fruit
on which was ready for fertilization.
Mr.. Roedng reports that this eXperi-
ment has been perfectly successful. A
ton Of the fruit has been picked from
his trees and the entire crop will yield
five or six tons more. Mr.. koeding be-
lieves that the blastophaga has come
to stay and he expects that California
will be enriched soon with another in
duStry.

Rest for Women.

The rest hour is quite as necessary to
women in summer as in winter There
are very few people who are not better
for going away by themselves. If only
fifteen minutes or half an hour, during
the day. Lie down on the bed or
lounge, allow the muscles to relax and
try to Danish all perpleXins thoughts.
Make certain that you will never be in
terrupted or subject to call during these
few moments. and the habit of sleep
will come to you. \ rest of even ten
minutes. free from interruption, will
do more toward soothing the nerves
than four times the same length OF
time spent lying down with noisy chill
dren l. ar, or thoughtless persons dis
cussing the last fashion. The import
ant matter is to secure for the tired
worker absolute peace at the rest hour.
Even without sleep it is better than
rest hour amid noisy surroundings In
sleep which is almost certain to be q
troubled one. AS matter Of cere-
mony. the rest hour should be insisted
on, because work done after 1t is GER
tain to be so much better than 1t much
more than makes up for the time taken
from work. Work accomplished with
the nerves exhausted never amounts to
as much as work done when the ener-
gies are fresh.

For Happiness in Marriage.


So far from accepting the theory that

business transaction, l should claim 1t
to be one of the best means of secur-
ing happiness in married life that

other warmly. but should begin poor,

She became the wife of a young naval
officer who was not even a lieutenant,
but only an ensign; and she went and
lived with him at a naval station. and

ginning of married life seems to me
very desirable. | am conscious of no
