When Baby BEGINS to Walk.

The business of walking requires de-
velopment of strength and obedience to
the will. The baby muscles are not
accustomed to just this kind of order,
and they do not readily respond.
Neither have they supported such great
weight as is now demanded Of them.
1t is we'll to battle in salt water night
and morning the legs of baby who is
learning to walk and to rub and knead
the muscles, working toward the body.
The clothing must be loose, with
nothing tight around thighs or hips.
The bones and flesh of the little child
are very soft, and If the legs are
crowded out of the natural position in
any manner by the tight clothing the
bones will adjust themselves to the
pressure and grow crooked. Women
having the care of children should
keep this in mind.

such delightful color combinations as
royal blue and violet, old gold and

HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY.
Take Care of the Teeth.

Unsound teeth are conveyors
Of the germs of disease. In Val
paraiso. Ind. there was an cpl
demic of scarlet fever that de-
fed the city authorities. Month
after month, despite the strictest
quarantine. the plague went on
among the children. Finally, by
a course Of elimination. the au
thorities decided that the infec-
ton was being carried in the
mouths OF the children. Every
child who entered school was ex-
amined. and its teeth were put in
good condition Within few
weeks there was no scarlet fe
yer. Examinations made in Chi
cago by the board of health show
that the Heterogeneous that
produce scarlet fever. diphtheria
and all other ,children's diseases
can be found in the cavities of
decayed teeth fully five weeks
after the child has been declared
cured The faithful use of the
toothbrush should be made a
part of the school requirements
in all parts of the country. as it
is now in some classes in Massa-
chusetts. and all parents should
be made to understand that den
tai care is as necessary as medi-
cal attention for their children
and that money spent on the one
will often be saved on the other.

indian ocean serpents.

Among the most venomous serpents
In the world are the marine snakes Of
the Indian ocean. They are the dread
OF fishermen, and 1t sometimes hap
pens that vessels are obliged to thread
their cables through barrels to pre-
vent the reptiles from sWarm1ng on
board Great numbers of them may
often be seen floating on the surface
Of the water as if asleep. They are
exceedingly fierce and will commonly
attack human beings without proVoca-
ton.

Beautiful buttonholes may be made
in any material, no matter how thin, If
they are first marked and before they
are cut out are stitched along each side
on the machine. Cut between the two
rows Of stitching and there will be
good foundation for the buttonhole
stitches. with no danger of raveling.
This makes the working OF any button

It's durability.

Don't Restrict Your Daughters De-
veIopment.

The mother who really has her
daughters interest at heart will allow
the girl some opportunity to develop
naturally There is nothing SO blight
ing to a girls individuality as to be
ruled in every way by her mothers
preferences. There are mothers who
considered their taste so infallible
that the daughters have gone through
life dressed like frumps, and other
mothers who considered their judg-
ment so infaIlible that they have made
decisions which have ruined their
daughters happiness, and still other
mothers whose love of power has made
weaklings of the daughters who might
otherwise have been strong.

FREAK IN NEST BUILDING.

Many birds that are shy and re-
firing in other respects, show very
little fear of the creaking and groan-
ing of heavy machinery, or the thun-
derous roar of heavy trains. l re-
call reading some years ago of a pair
Of courageous little sparrows that
started a nest at one end of a large
turn-table in a roundhouse. This
turn-table was the same at both ends,
and the birds built two nests-one
on each end, working one day on one
end, and the next day on the other,
as the turn-table was reversed. Here,
in the midst Of din and confusion,
they finally selected one of the nests,
and raised happy brood of young.
