THE COMING DAY.

The greatest OF thoughts. has perhaps
been thought
And the greatest word has perhaps
been said
May be the greatest fight has been
fought.
The greatest Of mortaIs perhapsis dead.
But we never can know and we never
can guess.
The greatest Of deeds may be yet un-
done;
Fate may be looking today to find
A man Of the proper mold and kind.
And why may not be the chosen one?
We fare on a new and Untraveled way
That winds along to the dim unknown,
Where what may be waiting no man can
say,
We know Of today and the past alone;
But way forever goes up and up.
The past slopes down where the dead
years lie:
Fate may be waiting somewhere to raise
Some man over all who have yet earned
praise.
And proudly haunted their banners
high.

same. which viii be about two months

The United States Government is pre-

pounds OF silk. so that 1t viii be seen
that the industry is Of a profitable ma

children can engage in It with little or

and money invested.
II is said that the silk produced 10
cally so far is Of fine quality. comparing
favorably with the products Of Southern
Italy.
Mulberry trees. on the leaves Of which
snkworms subsist. are by no means un-
common on Long Island. Some years

acres Of them near what IS now Cedar
Manor Another orchard" Of the trees,
planted for the same purpose, Is In ex-
istence near Hampstead. Apart from
these. however, the majority Of Long
Island farms have a mulberry tree or
two within their lights. The Govern
ment has recently acquired novel ma
chinery for spinning the silk off the CO
coOns.

miserably self-conscious from the first

far he had managed to keep hidden

afternoon and found before her eyes a
picture which never left them. Small
Richard was sitting among pillows. while
at some distance from him knelt his
dotin father. Richards small arms
were not as yet wholly under his con-
troll. and his father was presumably
teaching him the gentle art Of extending
them. AT all events. these monotonous
words fell on Mrs. Hewitt's ears:

Often baby is cross and fretfui just
because he wants a drink. Water win
do him no harm. Give him all that he
wants every time he wants 1t. The fact
that a childs food is nearly all liquid
does not in the least prevent thirst.
If baby's teeth are troublesome give
him little cracked ice tied in a cloth
so he can chew it. and see what COM
fort it is to the fevered, aching little
gums
A little chicken or mutton broth can
be given to baby when he has Sttained
his twelve months. and all the cereals.
if well cooked Baked apple and the
juice of an orange can occasionally be
given him, for most babies beg hard
for fruit. Bread and butter and milk

but soft-boiled egg two or three times
a week is very good for the little one.

When Richard II was three months old

He could put the boys to bed or dress

If left alone babies will always find
their own amusement in simple things.
A couple of spools. stick OF wood. a
bright piece Of cloth, any one Of these
makes a beautiful plaything.
Do not permit baby to play with
books or papers, or some day valuable
volume or expensive periodical will be
injured Baby cannot tell the difference
between books he may have and those
he may not. If he has been permitted
to play with old books. it is foolish to
punish him when a good one is de-
stroyed.
Teach the baby to leave strictly
alone all out his own things. Property
rights taught in the beginning are al
ways respected by Master Baby. and
your troubles with him are over so far
as meddling is concerned.
It Is most unwise to put things
away. or out ot his reach. instead Of
teaching him to let them alone. Medi-

This effort to establish a profitable

Is the outcome Of two factors. the first
OF which IS that experiments that have
been conducted in small way on Long

that the insect that produces silk can
be easily reared and brought 10 maturi-

WISE WAYS WITH THE WEE FOLK

" HE baby year old is beginning
to walk. and unless he is a very
4 exceptional baby. his ankles are
not at all strong. They have
the delicate little muscles. Many moth
ers think it necessary, to put on high
shoes or ankle supports in order to
strengthen them, but this is a mistake
that is often disastrous. unless the
weakness is abnormal and the support
ordered by a physician. A bandage is
never used to strengthen weak mus
Gle; what it needs is freedom and exer-
else.
Must Not Walk Too Much.
See that the baby does not walk too
much at first. for if he is let alone ne
will toddle until he drops. and rub his
ankles carefully at night. There is moth
ing like massage to soothe the tired
muscles.
OF course, baby has been taught to
sleep alone since his very earliest in
fancy. Now that larger bed is needed
for him, it is temptation to double up
if there are several children in the fam
lily.
This should never be done If it can
in any way be avoided. fors children
sleep better and are letter alone. You
may put two. three or even four little
cots in one room. if it is well aired, and
the small sheets that fit them are easier
to wash than large ones.
