AS a matter of adornment many chill
Gren have a locket hung to a chain or
ribbon passing around the neck, but this
IS also a relic of ancient belief in charms.
Roman children wore the bulla in this
manner and thus set the style for mod
ern children. This bulla was made of a
thin plate of gold for wealthy children,
and served not only as a sign of par
entail affection, but as a mark of high
birth and also as an Identification badge
in case the child was lost. For the poor
children, leather bulla were thought
good enough and were all in fact that
the parents could afford.
1t is interesting to note in this con-
necti0n that when a free born Korean
boy is fifteen years of age he receives a
small wooden label called ho-hypai. or
name tablet. This label, of pear wood or
mahogany, about two inches long by
one-haf an inch broad is inscribed, in
Chinese characters, with the name of
the ward to which the boy belongs, the
title, Leisure fellow" and the boys name
and date of birth. This is similar to our
registration of birth, as the label must
be presented to the officials of the treas
TRY, who brands it with hot iron ana
registers the label. This label is often
changed at later periods, when certain
requirements have been fulfilled, for one
of lockwood, then of black horn, and
finally, when he reaches the first grade
for one OF ivory.
The Roman bulla was often cut from
a thin piece of metal of figure eight
shape, the two circles being bent across
the CONSTRUCTED portion so as to form 3
circular, watch-shaped case, and in this
were enclosed various amulets.
The amulet might be of various kinds

some of metal or hard substances which

other additional protective purpose for
bells and rafting noises were supposed to
be extremely efficacious in soaring away
evil spirits. In fact, aside from the prac-
teal use, now but little needed, of cali
ing folks to meeting, the ringing oil
church bells is a survival of a custom Of
ringing bells during thunder showers, and
in times of peStilence, and other dire
alarms, the causation of which was at
tributed to evilly disposed gods or de-
mons.
The rattle of modern days is a ques-
tonable baby toy. 1t is not particularly
entertaining or instructive, and like the
teething ring, it may cause disease by be-
coming the carrier of infectious or con-
tagious diseases. Aside from this it
may cause injury from cutting the mouth
or otherwise mutilating the child, and
cases have been recorded where the rat
tie was forced into the mouth and swaI-
lowed.
Among the Romans the rattle was
known as a cropundia, and was a badge
OF child who had been exposed. Among
the Romans, Legitimate children, and
there were many such, were exposed in
the woods, where they were often found
by humane people and cared for, and
sometimes adopted. There being no
founding asylums, and there being an
implicit belief in the gods, the disappear
ance of these abandoned children was
| considered the work of the gods. and it
| was often a god who was the reputeds IA
| Their of child, and it was but just that
! that god or his human representative
| should show a practical interest in his
| child.
This being the case, it is easy to inter-
! pref the legend Of RomuIus and Remus
| and other fictitious births. According to
the myth. Rhea Silvia was beloved by
Mars, who visited her in the form Of a
| golden rain, a pretty story it is true, but
| told metaphorically in place of a very
| vile one. According to c. Lucinius Macer
and M. Octavius, cited by Aurelius Vic

~, Amulus, the uncle of Rhea, who was
Vestal virgin, was the father of Romu-
lus and Remus. They were abandoned
on the hills to die, according to the Ro-
man custom with such children, and were
nourished by mythical wolf, which was
doubtless form of wolf too common in
those licentious times. Among the many
names applied in those times to prosti-
tutes was that Of lupa, the feminine form
OF lupus a wolf, designating the class
who frequented the suburban roads and
groves. With this explanation the last
shred of mystery is stripped from the
myth and the naked truth stands reveal
ed. Nor Is this mere supposition, for
Titus Liv1us, !. 4, says: Stunt Qui Lau-
rentlus, Wi gate eorpore, 1upam inter

sample of many similar myths, invent
| ed to cover the shame of an individual
| or nation, fiction so zeaIously pro-
! mulgated as to become an accepted truth
among the commonality.
AS has been mentioned, the Roman
bulla often formed bell, and like the
! erepundia, or rattle, served by the noise
| that 1t made to prevent the evil spirits
| from working their will upon the child
| But these were not necessary, for even

dren. who were slaughtered by the evil
one himself. or by the witches acting as
priestesSes To save their children from
the clutches of LHith, or her kindred,
mothers among the Hebrews suspended
an amulet from the child's neck, with the
inscription Lila, abb, Lilith be gone. Ell
omologlsts claim that the English word
lullaby, meaning a song to quiet babies,
is derived from the inscription on these
talismans. and therefore the mothers
lullaby is. but an incarnation against evil
spirits.
AS for the effect of the lullaby upon
the child that is of questionable value,
for while It is very pretty sight to see
an affectionate mother grooming a SUM
her song to her restless child, it is at the
same time very unwise method of in
dulging the cnild's selfish demand for
constant attention. An infant, unless af
f1icted with disease, will quickly fall
asleep, or, if Wakeful, quietly amuse it
SELF without crying, if the parents of the
child will only make up their minds TO
let it alone, but. on the contrary, let the
child be petted and soothed at the first
outcry, and it will soon learn that, IN
reality, it is the tyrant of the household
whose slightest Whiu1 must be INDUCED,
and if crossed in its purpose, it takes
pleasure in raising a storm of passion
AS for the rattle, 1t is doubtful If that
kind of music Is ofathe right quality to
educate an ear sfor fine music. On. the
other hand, it does not make enough
noise to drown the babys cries, and, for
that matter If it is to serve that purpose
the best method would be to take the
baby to a boiler factory. There is an
other objection to the rattle that is more
serious; it makes a child f1dgety and ner-
vous. Any sudden movement makes the
baby start just as the unexpected makes
a grown person jump; when one shakes
a rattle in front of asehild he really scares

doc child is hygienfcally fortunate In
that he is not troubled with a superfuity
Of clothing, this being true of the major
ity of children born in what we call I'M
civilized lands Still it IS a question if
their lack of civilization is not in some
respects a positive advantage. The civ
i1ized mother does not think she has done
her duty unless she prepares a more or
less extensive and elaborate layette for
the baby This is composed of all sorts
of arrangements of dry goods, more or
less embroidered, few of which are use
full and most Of which are supposed to
be ornamental, but as they say Of beau
ty, baby unadorned is the most adorn-
ed. Civilized people refer with astonish-
ment to the Indian method of tying up
baby in a bundle, and proceed to do as
absurd. thing themselves. When they
put the baby into his first clothes the
chief article of apparel resembles an at
tenuated meal bag, with holes in it for
the baby's head and arms to come
through. A yard or two Of meal bag
that covers the baby's feet is folded back
on itself and effectually imprisons his
legs and feet. Nurses will tell you that
this extra length Is folded up because 1t
is in the way, but if it is in the way,
why in the name of common sense does
it exist at all, If 1t is not tribute to
Moloch?
Then the baby is still further adorned
with bib and tucker and pinafore, and
! when he goes out, with cloak and bon
net. so that by the time he is fully dress
ed there is more dry goods than baby,
which is greatly to his discomfort if not
positive injury
In spite of the reforms in baby's dresses
the good % old way is still the popular
way. Baby's dresses all button behind
with buttons of size anywhere from
cent-piece to 81, and as the baby spends
most of his time lying on his back, these
do not leave favorable impression. but
If the baby cries the folks never think
that 1t can be such a little thing as a

the question viii be asked what is the
ideal baby dress, and the answer is, it
has not yet been discovered. This, Of
course, will raise q cry Of remonstrance
from the baby-dress reformers, but it is
rome the less true. The various styles
Of modern reform dresses are along the
right lines; the use Of tapes instead of
buttons or pins is also a great improve
ment, but a little child does not need
as elaborate a wardrobe as a society
belle.
Haden, writing in 1892 calls attention to
the improperly of having several ar
ticles Of children's dress, and says that
putting these on seriatim not only in
conveniences the child, but irritates him.
He suggests making all the chiId's cloth

the outside Of any desired material with
an intervening wooden fabric for warmth.

being extended around the body like a
sash. Two tapes fasten this dress at
the shoulders.
