The Tiniess Baby.

Lying upon bed of dowby cotton

tiniest specimen of babyhood' in the
State. 1t is only about the length of q
doll, ana it weighs p pounds. But it
is going to have one of the prettiest
Christmas trees that Santa Claus can

In Williamsport, Louisa, the baby,
was born, her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Linford Y. Larzelere, being well-known
in that city. Accompanied by its par
ents and trained nurse, the baby
was brought in basket, wrapped in
cotton and surrounded by hot-water
bottles.
The bed of medieated cotton occu-
pied by the mite in the incubator
measures 30xl5 inches. The child is
swathed with cotton. Air heated by a
Bupsen burner to a temperature Of SO
degrees and passed over wet sponges,
TO keep it moist, is continuously cours-
Tag through the glass case and Moth
ing is watched more carefully than
the thermometers which register the
temperature inside the incubator and
the ventilating wheels which show
that the air is freely passing through.
In spite Of its diminutive size, the
baby has strong pair of lungs and
cries when it is hungry. 1t is fed every
two hours, being given at each meal
about two teaspeonsful of heated milk
and cream, in which the sugars, the
fats and the proteids have been blend
ed according to scientific formula.
Both the water and the food are drop
