The Original Cradle.

There is, if one comes to think of it,
says the London Queen, more connec-
ton than is at first apparent between
the tree top" and the cradle of the
old refrain, with which generation aft
er generation of babies has been Groom
ed to sleep. The cradles of the ninth
and tenth centuries were formed of a
section of the trunk of a tree, scooped
out, with small holes bored at the
sides through which to pass the cords
back and forth to prevent the child
from falling out. The natural convex
ity of the wood on the outside enabled
the nurse to rock the infant
The enormous antiquity of the now
obsolete cradle is startling when one
remembers the wicker cradle or basket
Of the time Of Moses, and later it is
known on excellent authority that the
Roman babies slept in cradles. These
were the predecessors of the elaborate
ly carved cradles which formed so i'm
portant a part of the bedroom furni-
ture until within the last fifty years.

best, played on the fiddle. He sent
rice from Italy, sneaking it out of
Milan in his coat pockets, contra for

of Carolina and Georgia a source of
food supply. He did many notable
