You have often heard 1t said that
the hand that rocks tie cradle Is the
hand that rules the world. The new
science boldly declares that the hand
that rocks the cradle is the hand that
spoils the world. Babies shouldn't be
rocked.
Yes, 1t ruthlessly sweeps aside things
about which cluster our most sacred
memories, does this new science; but it
has rewards to offer that more than
compensate for the things it takes
away. 1t saves the lives of thousands
of innocents. 1t emancipates the moth
or from thralldcm that frequently
wrecks her nervous system and brings
her to a premature old age. 1t trans
forms the peevish, whining baby into a
little creature all smiles and sunshine
Out of tie baby it forms a child all
sweetness and charm. In the child 1t
inculcates habits of self-relance that
will stand him in good stead when. he
grows up to encounter the battle of life.

lily an example of peculiar marriages.
For his first wife he chose MS brothers
housemaid. and for his second beau
tiful actress. Both marriages were
happy ones, and on his death he left
his immense fortune to his second wife.
She had no childrcn by him or by her
second husband, she Duke Of St Al

on her great wealth to her step grand
daughter, Angela Georgia. whose

The girl had not been brought up
as an heiress, and her plain Christian
education stood her in good stead IN
her sudden change of circumstance.
When she found herself in day the
richest woman in England. she threw
herself not into gaiety and display. but
into intelligent charity. She built and
endowed St Stephens Church in Lon
don, and put under its wise care pri-
mary and technical schools. workshops,
lecture courses, and instruction In cook
ing and housekeeping years before 9TH

reformatory for women. endowed geo.

rage which set all England ag0g She

ministering the Turkish relief fund.
and after their marriage he devoted
himself to the noble charities Of her
devising. He has been member OF
