To be Continued
Babies Must Not Be Rocked 20 Steer

But doctors are not as a general
rule greatly Influenced by purely senti-
mental considerations, and they have
issued the mandate, Babies should
not be rocked to sleep" This would
at first seem cruel and arbitrary, but
it is not as unreasonable as would ar-
pear. 1t is vastly better for the baby
to be undressed and laid down in the
crib, with cool, fresh pillow under
the little head, to drop into q quiet
sleep, than to be held in mothers
warm arms, close against her breast,
and rocked for half an hour or more
With most babies very little raining
will be sufficient to induce them to
sleep when laid down if they have
never become accustomed to the rock
ing. If you are not Spartan enough to
leave the baby while he is vigorously
protesting against this procedure, sit
by the crib and gently pat him to
sleep. After awhile even this Will not
be necessary. 1t is not only better
for the child, but also for the mother,
as the rocking habit if persisted in
soon becomes a tax rather than a
pleasure.-Arthur w. Yale, Md in
Woman's Home Companion.

In the total tonnage Of arrivals and

So far as the United States IS con-
cerned, Chicago leads all ports except
New York in tonnage, and leads even
that port in the number of arrivals and
clearances, the annual report showing
1907 for Chicago, and 14,019 for New
York. It handles more than three
times the tonnage Of Boston, almost
four times the tonnage of Philadelphia,
and more than four times the tonnage
Of Baltimore. In the thirty years since
1870 this tonnage has more than
quadrupled, but it is singular fact
that the annual total Of arrivals and
clearances has decreased By nearly
5000, due, of course, to the increase in
the size Of vessels. Fewer boats are
used than formerly, but they carry
much more, and this has modified what
is known as 'the bridge nuisance"
Bridges are not opened so frequently,
nor are they kept open so long.
