eCuItiXatina Amusements.

Don't provide inducements to get a child to love amusements. It may en- courage habit that will sadly inter- fere with a Sincere and useful life. Don't make a boy feel that he cannot waste too much time in having fun and catering to his senses. Life is real and earnest, and amusement is ad- missible at times, but should not be the rule The manly youth is for fun, but he is not always engaged in striv- ing for his own pleasure. He should not be educated into that idea of life. He should not be furnished with in c1inations away from what is true and real in life. It is a serious matter tempering with a youths nobler aspir- ation. Providing amusement is apt to prove an unnatural adjunct in educa- tion.-Columbus Journal.

Sad Faced Thinkers.

A patron of the library observes that the people who browse in the flctio, department look happy and peacefr> and contented, while the people who frequent tue technical room look mis- erable. The phenomenon may be thus explained: The people fin the tech nical room are engaged in thinking, and thinking is the most violent work that the human being does. A footban player plunging through the line does not look happy. A runner winning race wears look of anguish. A man thinking is engaged in a more strenu- ous undertaking than football or foot racing. Of course he looks wretched.- Newark News.

''The proudest day of her life this is," said the woman who watched the third floor bride go out dressed in her prettest frock,
 "How do you make that out?' said another woman enviously. q thought last Thursday was her proudest day She got married then.''
 "Ah, yes. but today she goes calling for the first time and leaves one of her husbands cards with her own. Any married woman who can remember back that far will tell you that the first time she distributed the calling cards of some man who belonged to her was tthe day she truly felt her i'm portance."

Water For the BahY.


 Q Infants suffer from not hay O ing enough water to drink Ba- Q bies are thirsty and frequently o cry from the discomfort due to Q thirst.
 o In proportion to it's weight an average infant during the first o year of life requires a little more Q than six times as much water o as an adult. During the time o when the child is upon an entire o ly fluid diet the addition of much . o water other than that supplied 0 by the food is unnecessary. The o food Qbreast milk) of all young o mammals consists of from 90 to o 90 per cent of water. This is o needed for the solution of cer- o tain parts of the food, such as o the sugar and some of the pro o teids, and for the suspension of o the other proteids and the emul- o sihed fat. All the food is thus Q dissolved and infinitely divided 0 so as to be the more readily act o ed upon by the feeble digestive Q organs of the infant. Q When the feeding becomes less o frequent water to drink Qrom Q bottle witha nipple on it) should or be given to drink between the o feedlngs. In summer time espe- Q cially babies suffer great deal o from thirst. x
