This score-card shows. in its details
far., trend, that the standard toward
which the contests point is not merely
psychological; and though beauty Is
mot considered. as such, yet the child
which is perfectly formed will be, nee
|essarily. handsome baby. The standr
ard used by the judges in Denver is in
part as follows:
Average weight, height and circum-
ference of head and chest of boys (girl
babies weight one pound less) At
birth Weight 1-2 pounds, height
|201-2 inches, chest 13 IL inches, head
IA inches. One Weight 81
pounds, height 80. inches, chest IS
inches, head Is inches Two years
Weight 261-2 inches, height 32 IL
inches, chest 10 inches, head 10 inches.
Three Weight 81 pounds,
height 35 inches. chest 20 inches, head
1914 inches.
Teeth = Central incisors appear
about seventh month, lateral incisors,
eighth to tenth; anterior molars,
twelfth to eighteenth; eye and stom-
ach teeth. fourteenth to twentieth;
posterior molars, eighteenth to thirty
sixth.
The child should first attempt to sit
at about the sixteenth week, be. fairly
successful about the fortieth, and
firmly seated at the tenth or eleventh
month.
The child should attempt to stand
about the thirty-eighth week, and
should be successful at eleventh or
twelfth month; If should walk unsup-
ported at the fourteenth or fifteenth
month-certainly not later than the
eighteenth. Precocity in walking IS
not desirable.
Mrs Margaret v. Clark introduced
this new sort of baby show at the To-
wa state fair last year, and its idea
has been eagerly seized upon by all
interested in child culture and eugen-
les. An sorts of information and help
can be given to parents in the course
o. these scientific contests. and so far
the deepest interest has been shown
the plan has been tried !.
The standard of the normal, healthy
American baby ought to be very high;
and this scientific campaign to estap-
lish it is striking and valuable beyond
any other.new movement of the day.

NEwsIoFTHE.DAY!

! George Williams, formerly of La
fayette, Ind:.,' was brought back from
Peru in serious condition, resulting
from injuries inflicted in an extraor-
manner at the time of the flood
in that city. He was employed at an
interurban substation, and when the
water began to rise he was unable to
escape. He was compelled to climb
higher and higher until he reached
the rafters of the garret, where he
hung by his arms to keep his head
above water. A number of hungry
rats, driven from their haunts began
to attack him, and he was poWeress
to defend himself, beng obliged to
hang for his life. The rats gnawed OF
both ears. Blood poisoning has now
set in, and his condition is serious.
