I have seen babies lying in bed with
one ear curlod forward. The wee
baby is such a tender pliabie bit Of
flesh and blood. just let &c get into
one bad habit Of sleeping OF lying, and
# may be marked t life. When you
lay it down, be sure ,hat you lay back
. it's ears smoothly and firmly.
OF course if a child has inherited
protruding ears, this defect is not easy
to overcome, but it can be helped or
softened by having the baby sleep
right from the start with a thin net
ting cap that will hold the ears not
tightly but easily in place.
Do not lay the baby down always
on one side. Let it sleep first on the
right, then on the left side. I have
seen children of eight or ten years
whose faces are asymmetrical-that
is. larger on one side. than the other
and physicians say this may have
come from always sleeping on the
one side Later in life when the form
of the face is fixed, the adult may
form any sleeping habit he likes, but
the baby should be trained to sleep
on either side.
Your child has a right to all the
beauty you can endow it with. If

La Toilette BILL
FOR RAILROADS.
PHYSICAL VALUE

Washington, Feb. 25That the
House will agree to the LaFollette
substitute for the House bill for ply
steal valuation of all railroads to de-
termine the basis for rates and thus
grant federal authorities the power to
reveal all the stock manipulations in
railroad holdings, show the water
in such stocks and bare all alleged
graft in the early railroad construc-

belief of progressives in both Houses,
today.

his measure as the most important

Queer Railroad Customs.

They have a curious way of manag-
ing some railways in Syria. Weary
of much riding, party of travellers on
their way to Beirut resolved one day
to go by train. They arrived at a
primitive station, but could find no
station master. Presently, however,
one of the camp followers arrived,
looked about and, spying a small red
flag lying on the platform, made off
with it along the line When a train
came in the man waved his nag, the
engine driver pulled up, andthe trav-
elers got in. Later, while the train
was putting on its way, the guard
came along the footboard and issued
the tickets, carefully noting down the
names, nationality and occupations Of
the passengers. Two stations farther
on they got out, and here there was
not only a station master, but a por-
ter, and the latter stayed with them
all day in an orchard till the camp
arrived, meanwhile feeding them with
honey from the comb Where else,
one wonders, could such a charming
railway system be found? = Wide

The only Way.

The old lady was very fond of preach
ing the efficacy of perseverance. In
fact, she rode her hobbyhorse so much
to death that. her servant at last got
quite tired of her everlasting "Perse-
vereepersevere! It is only through
perseverance one can accomplish any
thing in this world"
One day the old lady had visitors,
and a large number of delicious apple
dumplings were served up. These,
however, were not all partaken of,
eight or nine being sent downstairs
again.
On the following day the old lady
invaded the lower regions and ordered
the leftover dunplings to be warmed
up for dinner. But, greatly to her con-
sternation, she found they had all gone.
