Bargains In Egyptian Mummies.

Along the bank on the Luxor side of
the river, in the shop of Ahmed ADD
el-Rahin, there is an astounding bar
gain in mummiied babies. and one in
particular, which he claims in three
thousand years old. is offered for the
trifing sum of $12. The circumstance
is not without its pathetic side, never
theless; the first impulse of the average
human is to laugh when the honorable
Ahmed comes forth with the CAV little
case covered with hieroglyphics and
tells you that it is a baby and urges
that 1t be taken to America. The GU
rious part of it is that many tourists
do buy these tiny mummies, which to
all appearances are genuine as 10 age.
and 1t Is another curious fact that
tourists buy the mummy clothes. tat
tered and torn and stained, although
wonderful in color and design. that
have been wrapped around the dead
bodies of the ancient Egyptians. Also
the vendors Of separate hands and feet
seem to enjoy a good income during the
season.-Leslie's Weekly.

Bnbiea KILLED by Ignorant Feeding.

Many factors enter into the stream
of causes which make up the great
ocean OF ~needlessly sacrificed baby lives,
of which the chief are perhaps ignor-
ance and poverty. The ignorance of
many mothers-I am almost tempted to
say the average m~other.-is most APP
palling. To hear a group of Settlement
workers, visiting nurses and physicians
relating their experiences and enumer-
ating the many deleterious things given
to young babies, is a tragic experience.
Babies a few weeks old given tea, beer,
vegetables, bread. fish. candy, ice
cream. pickles-the awful list might be
extended almost indefinitely. Undoubt-
edlye ignorant feeding is a prime fac
tor in the problem of infantile NOR
tality.-Craftsman.
