keep W. P. Solliday from winning

s.-Deyelopment Of a Baby.

6.-DevelOpment OF Baby.
At birth baby's head is larger in
proportion to his body than is an
adults. The abdomen is big. The
arms and legs are short and the legs
are slightly bowed.
Soon after birth the baby develops
sense of contact and temperature,
that is, he knows when he is being
held and he can appreciate heat aud
cold. He learns to see light and to
hear during the first three or four
days.
The first month the hands move
aimlessly about. During the second
month, he learns to put his hands to
his mouth and tries to lift his head
During the third and fourth
months, baby will make an effort
to grasp what is held before him
and will try to sit up. He should
not be allowed to do so unless he is
supported. About this time, he
begins to recognize others and de-
velops will of his own, which is ex-
pressed by crying when he is dis
pleased. He will coo when he is
happy.
About the sixth month baby can
sit alone for few minutes. He
will grasp and hold whatever comes
within reach Of his busy fingers. He
now begins to be soeiabie and will
try to talk, sometimes making vocal
sounds.
From the seventh month to the
ninth month, he will creep and will
make efforts to, stand. He likes to
initiate movements and to have
sympathy and attention shown him.
From the ninth month to the
twelfth month, he learns to stand
and from the twelfth month to the
sixteenth month learns to walk. He
develops sense of desire to please
and this leads to obedience. Some
times at the twelfth month he can
say a few words.
A baby has no moral sense or
knowledge of what is right or
wrong. He simply follows his in
stincts. An older person must keep
him from harm and show him
gently how to do the right things
until he learns for himself.
AS improper feeding is one of the
chief causes of child's failing to
develop properly, too close atten-
ton cannot be paid to the right
feeding of young baby.

When the crickets chirp in the trees
all the night,
And we hear at day, the locust
thrill,
We know Miss September is nearly
in sight;
l think she's just over the brow of
the hill.
She's walking now where the wild
grapes grow,
And twining them through her
russell hair.
Like ruby wine on her brow they
glow,
Or like precious gems, that are
rich and rare.
She'll fling out veil on the autumn
breeze;
Like gossamer web, it is woven
and spun;
She will loosen the bands of the nuts
on the trees,
And the birds, and bees, will
browse in her sun.
The first fallen leaves, she sews on
her gown,
The red Of the sumac, the green of
the pine,
The fruit and the flowers, she some
times shakes down
Will garland Of beauty her fair
form entwine.
