THE LANGUAGE OF BABYAooD
Persistent Crying Always Indicates
Something Abnormal.

Something Abnormal.
Crying is the universal language OF
babyhood, the only means that babies
have by which to express their de
sires, discomfcrts and emotions.
Poverty of vocabulary is compensat-
ed for by tone and volume of sound;
and these qualities are soon modified
to such an extent as to become dis
tinctly expressive of entreaty, per-
suasion or command.
Persistent crying always indicates
something abnormal; nevertheless, IL
is not SO often sign of hunger as the
mother is disposed to infer. The
hungry babe s5uffs it's fingers into its
mouth, and its cry is fretful; but the
same actions may denote soreness OF
the mouth or throat when food IS re-
fused, and headache or earache When
the brows are knit and the head Is
tossed from side to side. A hoarse cry
is caused by dryness of the vocal
cords that may accompany an ordi-
nary cold, Group, diphtheria and other
affections Of the larynx. The cry is
never loud in painful affections OF
the chest, in fact, it is usually replac-
ed by moaning. When crying follows
the coughing of bronchitis, it often
signifies the supervention of broncho-
pneumonia, and the doctor should be
called at once. Squirming and kick
ing attend the crying of painful con-
ditions of the abdomen.
A yoiceless cry denotes weakness,
except when the sound is suppressed
on account of pain or hoarseness.
fearless crying, after the fourth
month Of age, generally reveals i'll
ness. When the infant cries upon
being picked up, there is usually
tenderness due to rheumatism, pleur-
isy, ricketts, or scurvy. Pressure over
different regions discovers the SEN
sitive area.
The cry of fear in an older infant is
short and loud; the eyes remain open
and are turned toward the source OF
danger, while the face becomes pale
and the body trembles. An angry
child also becomes livid through hold
ing it's breath. To the pampered child
crying becomes a habit; even young
Infants learn to cry for the light, to
be carried or rocked, AMI sometimes,
apparently, merely for their own de-
lectation. 1t is, of course, possible
that a sudden piercing cry at night
may indicate some serious trouble,
but it is more likely to be nothing
worse than indigestion or nervous
ness.
Mistakes can often be avoided in
the Interpretation of a fit of crying
if the clothes of the child be re-
moved and a search be made for a
pricking pin or local signs of injury
or disease recent rupture, the frac-
ture Of a bone or the dislocation OF
a joint In no circumstances should
an opiate or other sleeping potion be
given to arrest the crying; and lay
ing the infant face downward upon
the lap stops the noise only by I'M
peding respiration without removing
the cause of it.

Few Women at Book Sales.

A woman at a downtown book sale
is more of a curiosity than some of
the rare volumes on sale. This is
strange because women are at the
same time the greatest readers Of
books and the most frenzied frequen-
ters of auction rooms. Not even the
auctioneer is able to explain why
the sex fights so shy of the literary
functions over which he presides.
Many women who go down town
daily are discriminating readers. In
the lots of books disposed of at auc-
tion they could undoubtedly pick up
many volume that would interest
them. Occasionally some young
woman more venturesome than the
rest stops just outside the book store
door and looks longingly in; but the
clamor of masculine voices bidding
for book which she would appre-
ciate as much as any man in the
crowd frightens her away New york

monoTonY OF eRlrlsA. COOKING.
Any Attempt to Break Up Established
course Ends ONLY In Disaster.

Course Ends Only In Disaster.
Those who have eaten a great many
English things will fully appreciate
the American girls structures on the
British table. After her observations
on tea, she remarks:
AS to the other details Of English
diet, the American girl felt, after
eight weeks experience, that monoa
tony was its chief characteristic. Be-
ing adaptable, she had not minded
personally, but she fully appreciated
the grumbling of her fellow-Ameri-
cans. English food is more than SUBJ
stantial, it is solid, and it never
varies. 1t must be infinitely easier
to run an English house than an AM
erican one, since it seems necessary
only to supply sufficient quantity OF
food and the man of the house will
not complain that he had this or that
dish yesterday or the day before, OF
the day before that. From his youth
up he expects to have repetition, and
probably would be resentful if he did
not have it.
Any attempt of the American to
break up the established course only
results in disaster, and it is the part
of wisdom in England to begin the
day with marmalade and end it with
cheese, as all good English folk do.
Even in lodgings, when a complaisant
lady inquiries, What will you have
for breakfast?" the invariable ans
wer should be Fish," or Ham and
eggs" Marmalade and toast or rolls
will appear as a matter of course. To
be sure, one may substitute coffee
for tea, but one is more fortunate
who takes tea, for the English coffee
is a poor thing even in the best
places, and in others it is an abomina-
tion.
The eating of fresh fruit for break
fast is an American practice that Is
not favored in England. 1t Is pos
sible to get 1t, but it is not easy,
and it is expensive. After a week
or two of insistence, one will usual
ly fall back upon marmalade or jam,
much as she may detest sweets for
breakfast"
There seems to be little discrimina-
ton made in England between ham
and bacon. To order one seems quite
likely to result in getting the other
In fact, the American girl saw very
little of what is in her, country call
ed ham served for breakfast. Eggs
almost always meet expectation,
which is more than can be said
for them in the American boarding
house.
To be served with fish at an Am
erican breakfast table more than once
IN England The absence of hot
breads is, perhaps, the most difficult
thing for an American to endure. Al
ways at home he has hot rolls, muf-
fins, gems, biscuit, or some such
thing, often with the addition of a
special course of batter cakes, serv-
ed with butter and maple syrup. The
English seem to eat even their toast
cold or nearly SO, and to get on with
out any other pretence to hot bread.
Luncheons, likely to be poor in all
parts of the world, are only a shade
worse in England than in America.
An Englishman can take his cold cut
every noon; an American demands
variety and housekeepers have to ex-
ercise great ingenuity in Disgusting
the remnants of the previous days
dinner, and in inventing new dishes
that are not too expensive.

PIGS AS DRAueHT ANIMALS.
Sow That Could Retrieve Birds
Four-in-Hand of Pigs.

In many countries and even SO near
as Scotland the pig has served the
purpose of a beast of draught, and
has actually been harnessei to the
plough in company with cows and
horses. In Scotland also early in the
last century pigs were simetimes
made to serve as chargers and proved
mcst docile mounts.
The hcming instinct is strongly de-
veloped in the pig. Instances not
infrequently occur of pigs finding
their way back to farms whence they
have been conveyed. There is a rec
ord CT two pigs homing nine miles,
and crossing the Thames to boot, to
their old farm, whence they had been
driven to Reading market and bought
by local gentlenan en- the previous
day. At one point on their homeward
journey where two roads met the
twain were observed putting their
noses together as If in deep consul
tation."
About 1915 London gentleman
created sensation by driving four
in-hand Of pigs through the streets,
and thirty years later an old farmer
caused amusement to a great crowd
in the market place at st. Adams by
entering it in a chaise drawn by four
trotting Logs. After two or three
turns round the market he drove to
the Woolpack Yard, where his curl
Gus steeds were embarrassed and led
away to be regaled with trough OF
beans and wash.
They have also been sporting pigs.
And old account of black sow which
Mr.. Richard Toomer. one of the royal
keepers in the New Forest, broke to
find game and to back and stand
says: within fortnight she would
find and point paltridges or rabbits,
and her training was much forward
ed by the abundance of both.
She daily improved, and in a few
weeks wcnld retrieve birds that had
run as we'll as the best pointer; nay,
her nose was superior to the best
pointer"
According to Linnaeus, the hog is
more nice in the selection of his vege-
table diet than any of our other do
mesticated herbivorous animals" "
Thus in one respect the pig may be
said to be an epicure. Linnaeus states
that the animal will eat only ~
plants, as against the goats 449, the
sleeps 3S7, the cows ZIG, and the
horses 262.-London Daily Express.

NUTS AS FOOD.

The use Of nuts as food is becoming
more and more popular. Without ad-
mitting the contention of the faddists
that nuts should be substituted for
meat, there is no doubt that, used
with discretion, certain nuts might oc-
cupy an important place in the diet
airy. Chestnuts, Brazil nuts, waInuts,
and almonds contain high degree or
nutriment. Cooked nuts are mucn
more digestible as rule than raw.
Some one ought to get out a COOK
book with nut recipes.

COMPRESSED TABLETS OF TEA

Novel Experiment Undertaken by the
Department of Agriculture.
The latest novel experiment to be
made by the Department of Agricul-
ture is that of compressing tea into
tablets, one of which will make a de-
licious cup of tea. AS a result, what
would ordinarily make big package
of tea, can by this new and unique
method be placed in a space about
the size of safety match box The
tea is grown at the departments ex-
perimental gardens at Summerville,
S. c. The department has been en-
gagged in this experiment for some
time, and last week a large box OF
sample packages of tablets was re.
ceived by DR.. Galloway, director OF
the Bureau of Plant Industry, for IN
spection. Each little box of com.
pressed tea contains twenty tablets
about the size of a cent, but about
twice as thick. They are dark green.
DR.. Galloway says that the most ia
vorable reports have been made by
those who have tried the tablets.
They are said to contain no adulter-
ant. 1t is explained that the taste
of the tea is in no way improved by
the form OF tablets, but the chief
value lies in the fact that it is com
pressed and takes up less room.
1t has been the object of the de-
partment for some time to find means
of providing food for the army and
navy which could be prepared in
such way as to save space, but SO
far all attempts have proved unsat-
isfactory.. 1t is now believed by the
officials of the department that these
tablets will fill not only government
requirements, but those of general
merchandise and family use.-Wash'

Tribune.

WHEN GIVING MEDICINE.

1t is said that the most nauseous
physic may be given to children with
out trouble by previously letting them
take a peppermint lozenge, piece OF
alum, or bit of orange peel. Many
people make the mistake of giving a
sweet afterwards to take away the
disagreeable taste; it is far better to
destroy it in the first instance.

ToUGHNEss OF PINEAPPLE.

The toughness of pineappies is al
most entirely eliminated by sllclng
the fruit up and down, from stem 10
blossom end, instead Of through the
core, as is usually done. Thrust
fork into the blossom end to hold the
apple steady, and slice until you come
to the hard, pithy core, which can
then be discarded. The trick was
taught me by an old pineapple grower
and makes all the difference In the
world in the tenderness of this fruit,
which is usually hard and cnlppy
when sliced with, instead of against
the grain.
