WHICH BABY IS YOURS?

know of baby fourteen months
old who has been taught not to
touch flowers. but only to smell
them; and not to touch the cat al
though he is perfectly delighted
with her.
After while, when he is old
enough to understand, he will be
allowed to touch her very gently
and he will be much more likely to
always treat animals kindly and
gently than if he had been allowed
to handle the cat or other pets as
he would toy that squeaked when
it was pinched.
The other baby, in an excess of
devotion, takes kitty up and holds
her head downward pressed tightly
against him. The rubber toy dog
squeals when it is squeezed, so why
not the kitten do the same? The
child makes no distinction between
them, because the mother never
brought home to him the thought.
"How would you like to have some
one do that to you?"
Baby sees fly buzzing on the
window pane and stretches out his
little hand to catch it, then laughs
and crows with delight as he
crushes it in his tiny fist or pulls
from it limb after limb.
If the baby is old enough to have
these instincts developed, he is old
enough to be restrained from
them. Most children do not mean to
be unkind to their pets; it is
thoughtless ignorance that makes
them treat them as they do. To be
sure they have been told that they
must not pull the cats tail, but the
reason given has not been "It hurts
poor pussy" but "She will scratch
you if you do it."
Therefore, the impression giver
to the child's mind is that the harm
lies. not in pulling the tail but in
getting scratched for it.
When the thaw came after the
great blizzards and the water wa:
running in rivers in the gutter
two little girls of eight and nine
were seen holding tiny kitter
under the water until she was al
most drowned; then lifting hel
out to revive, when they woulC
again put her under the water.
What sort of heart-trainng coulC
these children have had and what
kind Of mothers will they make ir
the years to come?
Are any Of these your children
Oh, fathers and mothers, listen
Do not place in the hands of you:
children such toys as guns, whips
and swords. but teach them rather
that needless wars and cruelty are
crimes. Teach him to delight ir
studying the birds with an opera
glass instead of shooting them anG
takes pleasure in feeding then
rather than in robbing their nests
There is no sufer way to teach
a child to be unselfish and thougt,
full for others than to make hin
considerate of the feelings of his
pets; yet this fact seems to be ut
terly lost sight of in the training
Of many children.

It lie impossible to say ut this late

story about Newton's apple tree at
Woolsthorpe, from which he Is sup.
posed to have seen the fall of the apple
which gave him his first thought OF
the attraction of gravity. Voltaire Is
the authority for tho well known story.
He clairas that the story was told to
him by Catherine Barton, Newton's
niece. How much truth there may be
In the tale will never be known, but i,

ANCIENT TREATMENT or
CONSUMPTION.

Or. Newton calls attention TO
the fact rat the treatment Of
tuberculosis by diet. exercise,
fresh air, and other means to
Improve the nutrition, is not
now, but was practiced by Gel
sus, a Latin pl,yslcIan Of the
first century, who, like the
Greek physician Hippocrates,
advised that ono who "finds
himself splitting and hacking on
rising In the morning should I'M
medlateIy take possession OF a
COW and 90 high int the noun
tslns and live on tile fruit Of
that cow" Sydenham, In the
sixteenth century, also advised
exercise, diet, and other hy-
glenic measures. Discovery OF
the germ associated with tuber-
cuIosis has brought no Improve
ment In its treatment, but has
rather distracted attention from
the proper hygIcn.o treatment
Of the disease to an effort to de-
stroy the germ, which Is only
tho accompaniment. II not mere

MUSIC OF The APAssEL-TREEn
Remarkable Feat Credited TO King
David BY HardsheIl Preacher Of
Past Generation.

d. n. Kelly writes In the Toronto
Republican: Old Daddy Jones was a
hardshell preacher back yonder when
was little boy. He was one of
the old time kind who believed in
choosing as his text the first passage
of Scripture that met his eye when
he opened the Book. He also believed
the Lord would put In his mouth the
necessary words of exposition. And
one Sunday he opened the Book and
his eye was greeted with the third
verse of the one hundred and fiftieth
terry Psalm: "Praise him with the
sound of the trumpet; praise him with
the psaltery and harp" Daddy Jones
amplifed and expounded at length
on the trumpet, went into its history,
use and capabilities as an instrument
of worship. Then he came to the
psaltery, which he pronounced pas
sel-tree" And old daddy went on in
delightful intonation-provincially
known as "sing-songing"-"My breth-
rem and my sistern an: do not know
Just what kind of a musical tree the
passeltree was ah, but no doubt King
David knew ah. No doubt he had
planted this passel-trse right beneath
his window, and In time It grew and
grew until a branch of it grew right
in at King David's window ah. And
there is no doubt in my mind ali that
as King David saw II he took up his
bow ah, and he drew his bow across
that passel-tree limb ah and dis
coursed the most sweetest music i'm
aginable ah! And, brethren and sis
tern, we should do likewise and praise
him not only with trumpet but also
with the passeltree ahi"
