Sunday at Home: The following
are only specimens Of many sayings
that are here collected:
! One small urchin fancied he had at
last got to the other side of omnipo-
tence. With one boot off and the other
on he walled: "Nobody-nobody-
fasten my boot" God can" said his
sister, reprovingly.s "He can't" per-
sisted the other doggedly, "'cause it's
got no buttons!"
Here is another Illustration of the
remorseless logic Of childhood:
"Why was the world drowned?"
Tiny mite, triumphantly, "'cause,
teacher. it couldn't float!" "How do
you suppose they filed up their time
in the ark?" Little fellow, tentative
ly, "Fishin'' Other little fellow,
scorifully, "Couldnt; there were only
two worms
A new theologian speaks in this
Judgment TT isn't the bones that
goes to heaven" explained one little
sister to another, "its something in
the tummy!" While another solves
the question Of personal responsibility
very easily:
A clergyman's daughter, before be-
ing put to bed, uttered this somewhat
remarkable prayer: "And, dear Lord,
this afternoon / saw out on the cold
sidewalk poor little girl, and she had
no shoes or stockings on, and-and
- followed by silence, as though
the little mind was wrestling with the
problem), she concluded "but it's
none of our business, is it, God?"

furnishing coolie labor for the canal

The going into effect of the two cent

special local interest. All of the rail-
roads put the new rate into effect on
the seventh, the day the bill was to
become a law, at the same time with
drawing all special rates Of every kind.

or because they are not willing, but
because of ignorance.
How many men are there who would
not gladly drop their business at any
time and stay home and give the baby
his bath, if they only knew how!
Yet in reality 1t Is much simpler
than 1t seems. Fill the bathtub full
of any good water, first carefully re-
moving all germs. Put your elbow
in occasionally to see il 1t Is the right
temperature. IL ice forms on your
, elbow you may know the water Is too
cold. If there are blisters then 1t is
too warm Be moderate in all things.
Take the baby firmly by both feet
and shake him loose from his flannel
moorings. until you begin to see safe
ty pins ahead. Then remove the safe
ty pins with gas nippers and unroll
until the baby looms into sight.
Now, having put on your rubber
coat. put one hand firmly under the
baby's chest and the other on his
back, and launch him on the : still
waters. When he has kicked all the
water out of the bathtub renew as be-
fore
Be careful while you are manipulate
ing the baby to keep him face down.
Otherwise YOU would not be able to
put water anywhere else but in his
mouth.
Don't be afraid of soap. At first you
will fill his eyes with soapsuds, but
with practice you will get so that some
of the suds will be distributed else
where.
Now rinse and dry with coarse
teasel, cover with face powder. and,
rolling him up in blankets, set in oven
to dry for half an hour A slow oven
rs best. For the first two or three
times it is best to give the baby his
bath while his mother, the trained
nurse and the neighbors are out and
you have tipped off the chief Of po-
lice beforehand.

Some electric and telegraph wires
