CHARACTER or WALL STREET

And who are these mighty men OF
Wall street? What are their natures,
| purposes. ideals. methods? What Is
their work after II Is done? In pri.
vate life II may be. and probably Is,
the fact that most Of these Wall
Streeters are exemplary citizens.
They are. doubtless. good husbands,
fathers and friends. AS old Thomas
Carlyle said. God forbid that any
human creature should be without
virtue" In their relations to their
fellow.men the Wall Streeters are
honest after their own standard, and
scrupulously exact, That IL TO say,
they observe the rules OF the game.
The stealing from the public, and
from each other. Is done with the
incest regard to the proprIeties. The
rascality Is OF the sort called "emi.
nently respectable"

For thu New eabv.

Baby's present COMFORT and future
health depend so much on intelligent
care in tho beginning that mothers
responsibility Is greatsr than at first
appears.
In the last twenty years great
changes have been made In the man.
ner Of caring for infants. We are not
as apt to oyerdress and ovePfeed
them; we give more thought and con.
sequently less time to tho personal
care Of the baby.
Let Us begin with the clothing. A
little wool shirt, oFocheted or knitted,
band. diaper. flannel skirt, little slip
OF muslin and soft wooden socks make
an outfit for day wear. with the add.
ton OF knitted sack IL the weather
is cool.
After the first two or three days the
clothing should be entirely changed
at night, another shirt, band. diaper.
Toolen skift and gown being substl.
tuted, and socks also.
After removing the clothing and
sponsing the babe he should be given
a gentle massage over the entire body.
1t rests and Quiets him and insures q
better sleep. A month-old baby should
be fed every two hours during the day,
and but twice during the night.
He should have little woven wire
springs. heavy double blanket folded
to fit the bed In place Of a mattress,
Q rubber sheet, two white sheets, and
q soft wooden blanket and light weight
comforts for warmth.
When ready for the night he should
be placed in bed and If comfortable
he will drop off to sleep. Rocking
should never be INDUCED in, as 1t Is
a detrimcnt to the child. 1t Is a
nerve.destroying, brain4addhug per.
formaace. and mothers waste weeks
Of time In this worse than useless pro-
cceding.
See that the child is sufficiently
nourished and comfortably dressed and
put him in his bed, He may be rest.
less from wind on the stomach. II so,
take him up. give him five minutes
gentle massage. lifting and turning
him two or three times in your arms,
then lay him down again.
Keep your baby quiet and free from
excitement at all times: it is IL"
natural way. II you have busy Mon
days. doubtless you have notacad thai

Work and Education.

Education should never cease. This
farmer should learn something every
day that will help him to better carry
on his work. He should not try to
learn It all on his own farm, however
His neighbours operations should ba
watched from time to time. Many
good ideas can be gained from tho
practices Of others. His reading should
be such that he will not only be enter
tanning but instructive. And every fall
he should plan to attend one or mors
Of the county or district agricultural
fairs; not the street fair or carnival.
but thesialr that has the hest and larg'
est display of live stock and farm pro-
ducts.
Nearly everyone likes to do some one
thing better than any other. When
left to their own resources or on hcll'
days they invariably get as near to
that kind Of work as possible. II you
think Of this you will see many ec
amplos of every day. Some boys on
the farm, for instance, will go to tho
horse barn from choice. They find en-
joyment in cleaning and fixing harness,
In healing up harness sores on the
horses, trimming the colts feet and
similar things. To do anything around
the chicken house or hog pen would
be hard and disagreeable labor. This
boy should devote himself to horse
work
Anyone will work best at the job he
likes best and their life work should
have to do with 1t. The most success
full horticulturallsts we know would
choose to spend a vacation where they
could enjoy the beauties OF nature and
learn more OF their chosen work: the
best horsemen we know would be at
a loss to know what to do without a,
horse to be training or driving, and
cattlemen we know would rather visit
the international live stock show for
vacation than do anything else.
They would mot only enjoy themselves
better in cattle" environment, but
would also be- learning things Of value
to them at fDme.
When mans pleasure interferes
with his bushHess he should let the bus
mess 60 and devote himself to making
money out of the pleasure. There
should be "a strong relationship be-
tween work and pleasure, and for the
best results work should be PLEASURE
