bottles or other containers Of liquid
are pulled over and the contents
spilled.
To prevent such accidents and mis-
fortunes there are certain precautions
that should be followed. Do not leave
bottles Of ink, for example. on tables
that have covers that can be pulled
off, or so shaken and wrinkled that
the bottles may fall Off. Put bottles
of liquid so high on shelves that they
cannot be reached. or Gn the case of
ink bottles) see that they are put in
closed desks, or so far back on them
that chubby hands cannot get them.
Do not leave jars of milk too near
the edge of kitchen tables, and be
sure that all bottles of medicine.
toilet water, etc, are safe in high
medicine closets or far back on bu-
reaus-and not on scarfs.
Keep Sharp Things Away.
When the child is old enough to
delight in cutting things out of paper,
never let him have any but blunt
scissors. Keep. out of reach such
articles as pointed scissors, sharp
utensils, such as knives (even paper
knives). or pointed articles, such as
forks. especially steel kitchen forks.
Train the little one not to touch
things that do not belong to him lest
he get hurt. 1t Is very difficult to
teach some children to be careful,
but unless taught mothers have to
resort to cures to heal the WOUNDS
caused. During the training period.
the ounce Of prevention proves worth
many pounds of cure.

DIARY OF A
NEW FATHER
BY r. Il. DICKSON.

Rah! Rah! for discipline!
From the very first the baby has
been sleeping from 10 at night until s
in. the morning. The doctor said 1t
was wiser to let them do that, If they
would do it, and were strong and
healthy enough so that emitting the
2 am. feeding wouldn't hurt them.
The baby was a meek little lamb
about it. Two or three nights In the
hospital he wanted to eat around 2,
but after whimpering a bit he went
back to sleep, the nurses told us. and
so he came home all used to sleeping
all night.
But now Joan has the discipline
idea, and the baby must have heard
Of 1t somehow, and last night-as
early this morning. really-he started
in to show us who is boss around
here.
He woke us up, Of course, and he
yelled and yelled and yelled.
started to get up, but Joan clutched
me. and 1 remembered the discipline,
and we lay back and listened to him
for long time. At last Joan couldn't
stand it any more and she started to
jump up, but clutched her, and so
we lay there clutching each other
most of the night.
This morning Hilda said she
guessed she'd spend the nights at her
own home after this. Joan said for
her to stay here; the baby would be
trained in another night or two, and
Hilda said: us there a guarantee
comes with that?"

Little. But. Oh. NY!

Livingstone. the great African ex-
plorer, had many marvellous expert
ences with the monkey family, and he
was convinced of the close similarity,
in emotional matters at least, of
chimpanZees and humans. One of
his little chimpanzee pets had many
characteristics of the human child.
He insisted on being taken walking
when Livingstone went out. and
would reach up and take Living
stones hand, toddling along beside
him. If left behind, he would cry.
If a dog came near, the champanzee
would put his back against Living
stones leg and turn about, doubling
his fists and squaring off like a boy
preparing to fight.
Answers to Yesterdays Questions:
/. Life is supposed to have begun
in water, but this is only conjecture,
based upon the fact that the most
primitive life forms now known are
found in water.
2. The advantages of life in water
are greater uniformity Of tempera.

abundantly distributed food supply
the fact that highly elaborate respira-
ton systems (the weak point in land
animals) are unnecessary, and the
freedom in many waters from storms

peratures.
4. Orchids do not precisely live on
air (even those perched in trees), but
upon the gases and salts in rain
water and seepage Of the trees: the
bacteria on their roots live on air,
though, and the orchids digest these
bacteria. thus obtaining nitrogen.
5. Bacteria Of certain sorts can live
without air, and water plants and
animals live without supply of free
air, deriving it from the bubbles or
solutions of air in the water.
6. Nothing can live permanently
without water so far as Is certainly
known, though 1t is perhaps a safe
guess that bacteria may some day be
discovered which can live without it.

indeed Very carefully Reddy used
that sharp nose of his, shifting all
about. Presently he grunted again
II thought So" said he. Eyes, sir, /
thought so. Mr.. Grouse has Joined
Mrs. Grouse. He has walked right
over the tracks of Mrs. Grouse until
all I can smell now is the scent Of
Mr.. Grouse. But that is just as good.
If he is covering up her scent with his
scent. 1t doesn't make any difference
as long as I can smell his scent. All
1 need to do is to follow his scent,
and that will lead me to Mrs. Grouse.
Wouldn't Peter Rabbit and some of
the others be surprised to know that
Mrs. Grouse Is really alive? It ought
to be an easy matter to catch her
now. 1t will be the best chance that
ever I have had. But I must move
gently. for I do not want her to sus-
pect that she is being followed. She
not get at her"
1t was no trick at all to follow that
trail Mr.. Grouse had left behind him.
Now and then 1t seemed to Reddy
that he could smell the scent Of two
grouse. but he never could be quite
sure. However, he didn't waste any
time about 1t. He just hurried for
ward. But he was very careful about
every step. He didn't step on any
little twig that would snap. He didn't
rustic a dry leaf. He moved like q
shadow. / mean by that he moved
as silently as a shadow. And he
didn't move so fast but that his eyes
took note of everything in front Of
him and on both sides. His nose was
to the ground most Of the time, but
every moment or two he lifted 1t and
tested the Merry Little Breezes.
Every few steps he stopped and stood
/ like a little red statue, while he
listened. Right down in his heart he
hoped that he might find Mr.. Grouse
off his guard and so get both Mr..
Grouse and Mrs. Grouse. And all the
slime Reddy's wonderful nose told
him that he was getting nearer and
nearer to Mr.. Grouse, which meant,
of course. to Mrs. Grouse. too.
