MY LADY'S LIDS

She calls them Tipperary hats,
l don't know why it's So
No woman's lid was ever known
A long, long way to go.
She wears the thing a day or two,
And then to pieces plucks,
When it's good-by Piccadilly
To another thirty bucks.
But what's the use of kicking if
You've really got the dough
Better buy that Tipperary
For the sweetest girl you know.

Artifcially fed babies die at much
more rapid rate than breast-fed ba-
bies. In the earliest months of the
baby's life exclusive breast feeding
appears to be the only safe method.
Only 1876 babies per thousand died
under one years of age when breast
fed for at least three months, as
against 1868 per thousand who died
when fed exclusively on artificial food
up to the age of three months.
Where mothers are employed a
large part of the time in heavy work
babies die at much more rapid rate.
In one group of 10 mothers whose
babies all died, Is had been keeping
dodgers, an arduous occupation
among the foreign women, where the
wife, without extra charge, often

buys and prepares their food.
The city bears its share of respon-
sibility for infant deaths. A high rate
of infant deaths is found in coinci-
dence with neglected streets and in
sanitary housing. The report shows
for 1875 miles of streets and alleys
only Al miles of sewers and Sc out
lets, only ga per cent of the streets
paved, and but II per cent of the al
leys.
In houses where water had to be
carried in from outdoors, the infant
death rate was 1913 per thousand, as
against 118 per thousand where wa
ter was piped into the house.

~ HR1STMAS proper is never a
day. 1t is really week or
~ about a month. When the al
manac says December has
come, then all hearts begin to feel the
presence Of that midwinter festival.
Each day adds to this feeling.
The Romans perceived that one day
did not contain all the import of the mid
winter gayety. Their Saturnalia con-
tinued seven days. 1t began as one
day celebration and was observed Dec
10; but, as it was soon found that brief
period was a cup too small to contain
the wine Of pleasure, it was extended
to three days. At last it was enlarged
by the Emperor Claudian so as to take
in the 26th. In form the festival has
now been changed back into the one
day shape, but in reality Christmas is
much larger under our presidents than
it was under Claudian and Caligula.
It is a great midwinter period and
may well be looked upon as type Of
the public happiness or the public mis-
fortunes of given date. In the early
Christian church it became a single
day, because being asked to stand for
the birth of Jesus it had to be formal
day rather than a week. but no such
limitation could keep it from having
adjacent times which partook of its
spirit as dawn partakes of day.-Pro-
fessor David Swing.

HE forest In a whisper spoke,
n Vine to flower and pine to oak,
, From holy hilled Jerusalem
~ To where, upon its leafy hem,
The humble village chung
Calm Bethlehem. dark, yet like gem,
Enwrapped with light, as jewels are,
BY trembling radiance of the star.
Tho trees a coming wonder told
While yet the birds, their songs unsung.
Dreamed of the coming Of their young.
But though of splendor bright
The forest breathed, its boughs were hung
With sable shade: no taper's beam
Cast through that dusk its happy CLEAN
Tho angels sung: the shepherds came:
In tho lone manager shone flame
That burned with supernatural light.
The pine trees whispered through the
night
And, though the Saviours birth
Changed not their shadowy gloom to
white,
They in a patient darkness still
Bowed, signing. and obeyed his win.
Vanished is that old forest now
And withered wholly, root and bough.
Yet tn all Christian realms OF earth
Springs a new forest, full Of mirth
That lights with radiant cheer
The evergreens enduring worth,
and to that whispering prophet brings
A glory Of the King of kings.
For all our merry Christmas trees
Glow fair with flame and revelries
That cluster round them year by year,
And flr and pine, or far or near,
Live upright, gladly die,
Knowing that they to God are dear,
And bring to man, illuminate,
A torch that leads to heavens gate.
Even 80 the measure slow Of time,
Like q rhythm closed with rime,
Raises the patient soul on high,
EfingD Joy to life, even from sigh,
And In conclusion sweet
Dark grief with gladness can. ally.
So shines the forest when we meet
With light and song, Christ's birth to
George Parsons Lathrop.
