MADE UP OF LITTLE THINGS
Small Events Count for Much More In
Life Than Those We Consider
Of Importance.

We love little things, we hate little
things. we fear little things; our lives
are knit up with little things from the
time we are born to the day we die.
Big things draw us up to Heav a or
crush US down to hell. Little things
live beside US on the earth, eat and
sleep with US, laugh and grumble with
us. catch the early train with US or
make us miss II. irrttate and appeaso
uS-never leave us alone for a min
ute
That is why they are so much more
important than the big thinRs-the
things that only como once In a way
at long intervals. and even then are
nearly always the result OF a hundred
and one little things combined.
To DO crushed by a large misadyen-
ture Is natural. but to fall a victim to
series Of petty misfortunes is hu-
initiating. There are many who would
prefer to break their necks once and
for all by falling of a mountain, than
to bruise their whole bodies and dis
locate their tempers by the daily
stumbling over a mole-hill. 1t is the
little things that count-the satisfac-
ton Of climbing Mount Olympus is a
poor sort Of attainment II the scores
and scores OF pleasant details which
wait upon success be absent-From
the Atlantic.

BABY LANGUAGE MADE STUDY

Baby language IL the latest study.

and sfterward as a recognized mode
Of expression.
Trflling Of lips takes place only at
teething time. Gradually there is less
variety Of sounds. as the child learns
definite associations with definite
sounds. Some little people can hum
tunes perfectly, yet are too young to
pronounce the accompanying words.
On the other hand, they are often
credited with words they never say.
Mum" is an instructive sound, not an
intentional call. Doubtless fond moth
