Make the Baby Work.

The physician half closed his eyes

troubled with Indigestion, although it
was a fiat baby" Then he asked
for the baby's bottle, looked at the
nipple and grunted: Il thought so.
You make eating too easy for the
baby, like most foolish young moth
ers. You seem to think that it is
doing him kindness to make him a
loafer about his milk. Now, let me
tell you, that a baby is going to get
every drop of milk in bottle, any.

it, and you won't starve him If you

SpectacIes for the Schools.

A letter in the Times signed by
Princess Christian, Lady Plymouth
and Lady St Heller may strike some
as revealing one of the curiosities of
charity. They write on behalf of a
society for supplying spectacles to
school children. Those who smile do
not understand, for the matter is
quite serious. Mysterious collapses
of the nervous system and general
poor health may be due simply to de
fective sight which spectacles would
remedy. 1t is an admirable society
and it exists because the London
county council have not the legal
power to supply spectacles in the
schools. A society to supply tooth
brushes and tooth powder would save
poor children from untold misery

Once more the rising of some of
the Natal natives has turned mems
thoughts to the famous Zulu tactics.
In the minds of most these are asso-
ciated with the name of Tyaka, the
ruthless Zulu conqueror, who weld

people of the heavens, all the young

genius he saw how the idea could be
adapted to his own nation and on his
return and accession to the chieftain
ship he divided his people into regi

and by a special color of shield for
each regiment, though for time they
retained the umkonto or throwing
assegai as their chief weapon. He
heard the great use made by the Brit
ish infantry of their favorite weapon,
the bayonet, and so he replaced the
umkonto by the ixwa, or broad-bladed
stabbing assegai
The popularity of the Zulu tactics
has earned it the name of the crescent
formation for attack and it is note
worthy that, broadly speaking, it was
the method employed by the Beers
in their invasion of Natal and adopt

through Orange River Colony, and it
was the fear of its success which kept

as soon as the two horns had met in
the rear of the enemy the head or

women continue exercising after
their first youth is passed. and do not
permit the fatty degeneration of the
muscles to set in.
The woman who wants to preserve
a straight and narrow back should
learn first of all to carry herself well.
admonishes writer in the New
York World. There are three natural
points of rest in the body. The first
and most important one is, of course,
the balls of the feet; next comes the
second point, located a little below
the small of the back and last of all
the third point, the prominent verte-
brae at the back of the neck. In
standing each of these three points
should help to carry the weight and
preserve the balance. The hips
should be held well back, which helps
the back to keep it's natural straight
line, and the head should rest erect
on the last point.
Where this general line Of the body
is kept in walking and standing the
back will not have much chance to
curve and droop. When the lung ca
pacity is well developed the back just
above the waist line will always look
narrow, the back muscles being used
to uphold the chest box.
1t is only when our attention is
called to the fact that we realize how
few straight, graceful backs we see.

is that of M. Harmet, and has for its
object the treatment of cast iron,
producing a refined iron or steel.
Molten iron is caused to flow through
a fine channel surrounded by an an

turpere, driving the metal forward in
a fine spray. This spray is collected
and allowed to flow together again
in receiving chamber, from which the
molten steel can be tapped.
