Tho MoIIycoddIed Baby.

A truly beautiful baby looks beau
tiful under any circumstances-either
in winters cold or summers heat.
Rigors Of climate improve It. 1t is not
like the coddled child, which has Its
special day.
Scientific rearing includes, among
other paraphernalia, the feeding bot
tie with It's measured ounces Of spe-
cial foods. Bottle feeding spoils the
looks of baby.
Several leading authorities have
agreed that sucking the india rubber
mouthpiece or comforter disorgan-
ICES the muscles Of the face. 1t de-
velops some Of them abnormally and
Is also liable to change the shape Of
the lips and the angle Of the jaw.
The mechanical life of the scien-
tifcally reared baby Is unnatural and
when dealing with babies 1t is safe
to assert that anything unnatural Is
wrong. Mechanical action Of organs
that are strengthened and improved
by constant changes cannot possibly
make for beauty.

Children and Servants.

Never encourage children to tell tales
Of servants. as they are only too ready
to use this power as means Of OBJ
tanning their own ends. On the other
hand, never let a servant punish a
child without first appealing to the
mistress. A maid who is found slap
ping or shaking a child should be spo-
ken to very severely, for these Ill con-
sidered punishments make the little
one lose caste in his own eyes and
tend to destroy his self respect.

Points
For
Mothers
X
Plenty Of Sleep.

From the age of five to seven
twelve hours of sleep are necessary,
and until nine years Of age there
should be eleven hours, which length
Of time should be continued until the
age Of fourteen, when the sleep may
be reduced to ten hours. Children Of
a nervous, sensitive disposition might
be allowed an even longer time, as
should children Of all ages when body
growth seems specially rapid. Even
the time of year makes a difference
to the amount Of sleep required, and
all children should be allowed to sleep
longer during winter than during the
summer.
Children who suffer from great
drowsiness need medical attention.
Slight drowsiness demands attention
to the state Of the bowels, which may
be constipated. Great wakefulness Is
likewise serious matter and may be
the beginning Of brain trouble.
With regard to the bed, 1t Is worth
while to make an effort for each child
to sleep alone, and on no account
should a young child be allowed to
sleep with a very old person.

Making Home Pleasant.

The young cannot bear restraint.
Remember that the evening Is an "off"
time, and do not provoke" your chill
dren. Let them know that they are
free to do what they like-within GER
tain limits-and home will be as good
as a club. If possible, set apart
room for the boys where they may be
alone If they want to and where they
can pursue any hobby which pleases
them. If they are sitting with you
do not exercise your mind to find jobs
for them. Some people like to loaf.
It is their way Of restoring energy.
Do not interfere with their amuse-
ments unless absolutely bad. Better
they should pursue them in your home
than out Of It.

Injurious Exercise.

The way babies are jumped about
and made to "show OFF, Is a sad sight
to the mother who has studied the art
Of physical culture. Every time that
a baby Is made to exercise its brain
It is parting with a portion Of energy
which 1t will need In after life. Even
the frolic Of daddy should be given
with caution and In small doses. If a
child Is taught to lie quietly in its
cradle you will be surprised to find
how long 1t will amuse itself looking
at one toy or just looking about. Some
people cannot take child in their
arms without dancing 1t In the air or
