The Baby and the Monkey.

E. S. Martin. in Harper's for February.
 Babies are very like little monkeys. and we are least human when we are young est But by way of solace, and to save our self-conceit if that has suffered. they assure us that whereas the little monkeys grow less and less like humans every hour they grow, our babies turn their backs on the monkey type at the first squirm, and grow away from 1t hand over fist during the whole of their pro- tracted period of development. The mon key child's strength runs to jaw and to length of limb, and to agility and mon- key ways. The human child's nose as- serts itself, his brain grows and grows, and insists on having room to expand in. and his skull takes shape accordingly. He finds his legs, and gradually puts them to use. though in some children strength comes to the legs very slowly The learned doctors assure us. too. that the period of upward development in which the child grows more human all the time. and keeps putting distancebbe- tween himself and the monkeys. is in in- fancy and early youth. and that presently upward evolution stops, and development becomes "an adaptation to the environ ment without regard to upward zoologis cal movement"

Stuart's Tablets after every meal to in- sure perfect digestion and avoid trouble.
 But it is not generally known that the Tablets are just as good and wholesome for little folks as for their elders
 Little children who are pale, thin and have no appetite. or do not grow or thrive should use the tablets after eat ing and will derive great benefit from them. -0p.s si.,.

The Troubles of the Rich.

W. D. Howwels in Harper's Magazine
 for February
 The first point in the condition of the idle rich which takes the eye Of the student is that they are the victims or circumstances. Like the idle poor. the idle rich suffer because there is nothing for them to do, but the greater hardship of the idle rich lies in the fact that they they do not seem fit to do anything. some philosophers have supposed that their leisure qualified them to take charge or the political apd economical affairs of people who were. at work, and there has been a good deal of polite regret among us that up to the present time there has been no more zeal in the people at work than there has been an apparent purpose of Providence to turn our leisure class to account in this way. We have seen that under other systems they are turned to account in this way; but their conduct of public business under these systems has not convinced us. It seems to have been mainly in their own inter est, with few escapes from the vicious circle which forms the logic of their lives it seems to have tended always to the perpetuation of that leisure class which, if was philosophical. their public em- ployment would practically put an end to.
