THE WISDOM OF FABLES

The wisdom of sages, the philosophy of life and the les
sons of the universe are often expressed in fables. Is not the
following fable an example. Let me quote
ga woman was complaining of her ~neighbors.
II never saw such a wretched set of people, - she said,
"as are in thi town. They are mean, selfish, greedy of gain,
and careless of the needs of others. Worst of all they are
forever speaking evil Of one another

walking with her.
'It is indeed " said the woman. "Why, only look at this
woman coming towards us 1 know her face, though l cannot
tell you her name See her little sharp, cruel eyes, darling here
and there like a ferrets, and the lines Of covetousness about
her mouth. The very droop of her shoulders is mean and
bringing, and she sinks along instead of walking
ut is very clever of you to see all this said the Angel;
.'but there is one thing that you do not perceive
what is thatf' asked the woman.
why, that it is a looking glass that we are approach
ing said the Angel.
How easy it is to find fault, to criticize, to tear down and
to ridicule. Don't you know people whose chief topic of con-
versation consists of the criticism of other people But don't
you also know that such people are the unhappy folk of the
world-unhapp. because they are not well liked or well loved.
Every one of us fails to see the looking glass at times.
Let this fable help to keep it before us.

Breast feeding is almost compul-

I O advise anyone who is interested in
feeding a premature baby where
such feeding a-pparatuses can be had.
They have proven Of unusual suc-

The baby must be fed oftener and
in smaller quantities. There must
