A RELATED ESTIMATE.

(Wr1tten for the Farmer) Beneath little mound of green and and signing hemlock tree, Untroubled there lie silent brave in the city of the free Free from all care or earthly strife; free from all tears or pain, Snug in the arms of mother-earth are Deaths uncounted slain. We drop a tear upon the grave, there
 where the prayer ascends, There where the signs of aching hearts, in pleading self condemns. Too lightly did we value them, in Until their forms in silence wrapt by universal law. And now the kind words spoken late -too late to reach those ears, Speed from the lips of friend and foe, commingling with their tears; Nor can we find word of blame, There spreads the cloak of Charity that hides all i'll yfor aye. Then deck those graves with flowers sweet, they may atone for all The unkind acts or spoken words that are beyond recall. Think only of the good deeds done, in pity look beneath The human frame of mortal man and find worth's laurel wreath. Deaths but the curtain to the play -"The tragedy of life;'' By kindly hand it's lowered down to shut out scenes of strife; On stage of immortality faces resume their hue.
 The artifce of actors there is cast aside for true. Dressed in the, clothes of real self; hypocricy made bare, Before the glowing light of love, the true man standeth there. Judged by a heart unlimitless in kindness and in love, Justice shall triumph over all-MAN'S MOTIVES COUNT ABOVE.

INDIA E PiHkhAM GQ0 oXp0Il6QC0 W1CQ an organism united for the trial of strength, and when the strain is over her system has received shock from which it is hard to recover. Follow ing right upon this comes the nervous strain of caring for the child, and 8 distinct change in the mother results.
 There is nothing more charming than a happy and healthy mother of chil- dren, and indeed child birth under right conditions need be no hazard to health or beauty. The unexplainable thing is that, with all the evidence of shattered nerves and broken health resulting from an unprepared condition, women will persist in going blindly to the trial.
 It isn't as though the experience came upon them unawares. They have ample time il which to prepare, but they, for the most part, trust to chance and pay the penalty.
 In many homes once childless there are now children because of the fact that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound makes women normal, healthy, and strong.
 Any woman who would like special advice in regard to this matter is cordially invited to write to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass. Her letter will be held in strict confidence.

has to offer, flower, a gift, sunrise and
sunset, something for which it seems
impossible that she shall be parted in
body or in spirit, yet from whom, to her
bewilderment. she finds herself sepa-
rated.
To briefly sum up the mort important
recent laws that have obtained in our
modern nurseries; these have undoubt-
eddy tended to more or less divide the
child from the mother because the whole
tenor Of these regulations (most of
them very Wise) is toward an effort to
reproduce as nearly as possible for the
newborn baby the secluded prenatal
conditions. The child, during the first
months of its life, is supposed to be pro-
tected from the outside world infre-
Quently touche not cuddled, not
rocked, not chirped to nor amused.
1t is to be allowed to cry and it is
to understand that it is not to be con-
stantly "coniforted,' ''patted"; in
word, ''muched," as the old negro
nurses, those invaluable and lost COM
forts of childhood, phrased it. On the
very face of such rules and such train
ing, used with proper moderation, is
writ large so much Of sound sense it
seems capt1ous to quarrel. One has
only to ride in street cars, to visit cheap
places of amusement and there watch
the ignorant mistreatment Of small
children, their parents dandling them,
exciting them, wearing out their little
strength, to become an ardent advO-
cate of a valuable nursery reform that
is spreading, slowly, even to the more
ignorant classes. What can be better
than peace for these little, we might
almost say, half-born morsels of hui
manity? They seem unfinished, these
highest animals at birth, needing to
remain years longer than the lower ami
mails near to their parents.
This new effort to obtain for them a
wholesale repose, in which mental
stimulation, nervous excitement linn
tied, they may go on with physical
growth, lis almost like the discovery of
new and valuable law of life. But all
these conditions have been obtained for
the child only by means of a more or
less rigorous training of the mother, a
readjusting of what has ben in the past
the ideal Of relation between the moth
er and child.
Back to Nature.
We have, have we not, fallen upon
a day of trained mothers? In the old
times it was the children who were
supposed to be trained; the training of
the mother seems now regarded as the
first and more important task. This
training begins almost before the birth
Of the child and continues from the
hour Of it's advent. I have in mind a

thing. Perhaps (this has to be said
with careful reServation) it might be
better for many Of our young mothers
had they. too. never heard OF such q
thing.
How long is it safe for me to let my
baby cry?" A young mother asked
this question Of her old family physi-
clan, a scientist with all the gospels of
the present, and yet one who knew how
to strengthen that which remained. He
gave his advice shrewdly. The child
was benefited by some crying. 1t was
to be gone to at once, carefully OBJ
served, made in every regard physically
comfortable; then, If all seemed as 1t
should be, left to cry comfortably until
it wearied of the exercise. cit is safe
and beneficial to let a baby cry quite
long time, Madam" he ended, always
provided that its mother continues to
listen for it and to mind hearing its
cry When a child's caretakers begin
child, or not hear its cries, or not be
troubled by its crying, that child is in
danger of neglect"
An uncomfortable, wise doctrine; a
trifie, too, like being told it is safe to
kiss your cousins until you begin to
enjoy it.
There is certainly no selfishness, no
saving of care to mother in rule
that bids her to let her baby cry, yet
be troubled while it cries. A theory
that has been allowing the CareIdkeTS
of infants-the pressure of shocked
public opinion removed-to allow their
charges to cry continuously and un-
comforted, has unquestionably proved
a trife too convenient for some of the
caretakers.
We have discovered that we cannot
depend on motherly devotion to be suf-
ficiently scientific by instinct, and we
may have to learn still further that
neither can we depend upon it to be
persistently tender, under too heavy
temptations toward an unrebuked care
lessness.
There seem to be two undesirable re-
suits for the child itself that may fol-
low upon this particular rule of in
dorsed neglect; the first and least Inn
portant being that a child who is al
lowed to lie and cry too long and too
often, it's cries unchecked, may form
a bad habit of useless and causeless
screaming to become a torment later to
itself and others. More seriously, the
child may make the discovery that its
cries are unheeded, and in what stands
for the. mind of the child is slowly
bred a distinct distrust, or rather an
absence of confidence in his caretakers,
to whom he should instinctively turn,
as flower to the sun.

Art ard grace must stand aside--by-e
productS-for health and wisdom; but
is it quite wholesome or Wise to ignore
so wholly the appeal of the human
touch, to order the miniature nursery
more or less according to laws that
must regulate large hospitals and in-s
situations? The necessities are widely
different, and it is difficult to safely
transplant laws that have to be opera
tive in caring for the many to nurs-
cry where the rigors of those laws
must concentrate on the few. A hos
pitalized nursery is apt to mean hos

child means every institution, to its
cost, well knows.
Turning over Il magazine the other

an, but perfectly equipped as in
structress to mothers, made the Gus
tomary response. The baby was only
crying to be taken UP. The child need
ed exercise; crying was it's exercise
Last of all, "You don't want a spoiled
baby" The mother Of the baby could
have said it all for her. It might just
as well not have been said at all. She
had heard every word of it five weary
times before; tried to believe that 9TH
erS knew better than she the needs Of
her own child. She knew now exactly
what she wanted, thought she knew
what her child needed, and in any
event she meant to have her own way
in the matter. Bring me the child

There's a balance in all things, great
good concealed in great harms, losses
in what seems all good. It appears not
impossible that through denying to the
young mother these old close contracts
with her child, through absorbing her
in these technicalities of child culture,
rather than in study Of the individual
nature of her own particular offspring,
the bond between these two may be
| made much less intimate.
