BABY's LOT NOT HAPPY ONE.
Small Wonder That So Many Children
Of the Puritans Ended Their
@ Earthly Career Early.

There is no doubt of the strength
and endurance Of the Puritan babies
which survived the hardships of the
first few months of their lives. The
Puritans came to America some time
before modern heating appliances were
scheduled to arrive, and their winter
days and nights could have been little
less than one long SILVER.
If his elders suffered so much dis
comfort, what must have been the
hardship of the newest baby no,
few days after his arrival in this
world, was taken to the coolest part
Of 1.-THE bleak little Puritan meeting
house which never knew anything
better than heatless days? "This ex-
petition often completed the baby's
earthly career" says Laura e. Rich
ards, in recounting the tribulations Of
the Puritan junior population. We
think of the hardness Of the early
Puritan children, but this writer says,
'tOf Judge Sewa1l's Ia children, but
three survived him, a majority dying
in infancy; and of the Is children OF
his friend, Cotton Mather, but two sur
yived their father" The infant NOR
tality due to exposure may be readily
conjectured.
In addition to the visit to the cold
meeting house, the baby must steel
himself to face the greater or lesser
ailments Of babyhood- their RENE
dies. One Of these remedies, which
admirably asserts the spirit of the
times, was reserved as a cure for fits
or ricketts," the trouble was called,
and was known as "snail water" This
concoction, containing peck Of gar
den shell snails, was made doubly eff
fective by adding a quart Of tr-ated
earthworms. 49,

CARE FOR ALL STRAY CATS
Every Day Homeless GrimaIkins Are
Fed at cIoister of San Lorenzo
in Florence, Italy.

: From time immemorial the stray cats
Of Florence, Italy, have been cared
for. The cloister Of San Lorenzo is
sacred to poor puss. 1t is overlooked
by the windows of the famous Lau-
rentian library, built by Mfchelangelo
for Pope Clement VII to, house the
Medicean collection.
All stray cats are taken thither, and
at noon every day scraps of meat,
ETC., collected from house after house,
are emptied into the dry moat round
the grass. Toward feeding-time one
may see cats Of all kinds and degrees
black, tortoise-shell, tawny, and
white, male and female, young and old
--basking I'm the sun and licking their
chops. msEr BIS &seErs
Finally, when the food is brought.
from every direction cats crowd In,
kissing at one another, mewing and
making much noise. Then, when they
have fed, human snappers-up Of un-
considered trifies come round to Sc
cure the pieces Of paper, ETC., for rags.
When a lost cat is found In the city
it is taken to San Lorenzo as natu-
rally as every Florence baby is taken
to the Baptistry Of st. Johns to be
christened. Moreover, when people
wish to get rid of their cats, they
do not poison them or leave them to be
starved in empty houses, but send them
to the hospital cloister.

time every morning-no matter how
early or how late we've gone to bed
the night before. So there isn't q

worth any two hours later. Sleep
is sleep, provided only that it issOund'
restful sleep-whether we get It at
eight o'clock In the evening, two
o'clock In the morning, or one O'Clock
the next afternoon. If we can Bet
our sleep undiluted by disturbances e.
much the better. sese
