A baby in a family, especially the
brat baby, is a source of unending
entertainment. Nothing is more
delightful than to watch the gra-
dually increasing signs of intelli-
gence as the special senses develop
one after the other, and to sec the
mind unfold as the body enlarges
and grows apace.
The first of the senses to be de-
veloped is that of touch. This is
present at birth, although it is not
very acute. But it rapidly increas-
er:, and very soon the crying and
fretting of the baby. if a pin
scratches or the clothing presses
unduly in any part, afford ample
proof that this sense is well devel-
oped.
Taste and smell aro prerent ear-
ly, but do not become at all acute
or discriminating until after infancy
is past.
Infants are not born v:ith their
(yea shut, but they Wright as well
be, for they are as blind as kittens.
They appear to distinguish between
daylight and darkness, and a child
a few weeks old is evidently inter-
ested when a bright object is moved
before his eyes, but it is two or
three months before the child evi-
dently recognizes a face—even its
mother's. This is through no fault
of the eyes, but is due to the fact
that the brain is not sufficiently de-
veloped to record and interpret
what the eyes sec.
The new-born child is deaf as well
as blind, but usually notices loud
noises by the middle or end of the
second week. The direction from
which a sound comes seems to be
recognized about the end of the
third month. It is some time after
that—anywhere from two weeks to
two months later—before the baby
can distinguish different sounds or
recognize its mother's voice. Babies
like noises, if they are not too loud
yr ton sudden, and they are parti-
cularly pleased with rattling or
jingling sounds, especially if they
are more or less rhythmic.
By the end of the first half-year
an infant will show pleasure on
hearing nusEe, especially singing,
although humming_ on a few notes
will usually give it as much plea-
sure apparently as actual singing.
A child's movements at first are
without significance or reason, and
its kicking, clinching of fists and
slaking faces seem to be nierely in-
stinctive exercise of its new mus-
cles, just as its crying serves to ex-
pand its Lungs. Other motions are
reflex or instinctive, and purpose-
ful muscular movements are of
course not made until the brain is
sufficiently developed to order
them.—Youth's Companion.
SAND -BAG FOR THE SICK
ROOM.
One of the most convenient arti-
cles to be used in a sick -room is a
sand bag. Get some clean, fine
sand ; dry it thoroughly in a pan
en the stove. Make a bag about
eight inches square, or flannel, fill
it with dry sand, sew tho opening
carefully together, and cover the
bag with cotton or linen. This will
prevent the sand from sifting out,
and will also enable you to heat
the bag quickly by placing it in the
oven or even on the top of the
stove. After once using this you
will never attempt to warm the
feet or hands of a sick person with
a bottle or hot water or a brick.
The sand holds the heat a long time
and the bag can be tucked up to
the buck without hurting the inva-
lid. It is a good plan to make two
or three of the bags and keep them
on hand, ready for use at any time
when needed.
IF YOU ARE THiN.
Don't over exercise.
Sleep all you can.
Don't worry, hurry, or get in a
flurry.
Don't lose your temper or let
tidies irritate you.
Eat freely of flesh -making foods,
but not enough to ruin your diges-
tion. which means greater angu-
larity.
Drink at your meals and take
plenty of water, as well as cocoa,
chocolate and milk.
Avoid pickles, acids, salt meats
os fish.
Rest frequently, keep in the open
ail and sleep in well -ventilated
room.
Learn to dress to conceal your
defects. You may think it is hard
to do, but, it isn't a circumstance
to the trouble your stout sister has
tc mask her flesh.
HOW T() USE IODINE.
if it is necessary t:, use iodine for
Fainting the skin in medical treat-
ment it is worth remembering that
the painting should be done in the
(lark or in a red light such as is
used in photography. If this is
done and the painted portion of the
skin be covered without being ex-
posed to white light it will not blis-
ter nor stain the flesh even if the
painting is rcpcatttd a gond many
times.

BROKEN iN HEALTH.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Restored
Strength After Medical Treat-
ment Had Failed.
"I can truthfully. say Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink l'ills dict for me what
one of the best doctors in Halifax
failed to du --restored my health."
This strong statement is made by
Mr. \1'm. J. Weaver, 172 Argyle
street, Halifax. Mr. Weaver adds :
"A few years ago I took employ-
ment in a large factory as fireman.
I knew the work would bo hard, and
friends told me I would never
stand it, but as I was a strong Irian,
weighing 160 pounds, I laughed at
the idea of not being able to do the
work. Anyhow I started and found
the job a hard one indeed. There
were a number of firemen employ-
ed and men were taking and quit
ting the job every few days. I
kept at the work for two years and
during that time lost 50 pounds
weight, and was a broken down
man. I could not take my meals
and often took my dinner back
home with me without touching it.
When I would bo working on the
night shift I could not sleep in the
day time, and this added to my
trouble. Finally I became a total
wreck and had to quit the work. I
could hardly drag myself about,
and yet had become so nervous that
I could not sit still and would
walk about the house until I was
ready to drop. The doctor came
to see me every day, and changed
the medicine time and again, but
it did me no good. Finally he
wanted me to go to the hospital,
and at this stage a friend cane to
stay with me overnight. While he
was reading the evening paper he
came across the testimonial of a
cure wrought by Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills. He said, 'why don't
you try them, nothing else is help-
ing you and they may do you good.'
He went out and got me a box at
once. When this was done I got a
half dozen boxes, and before they
were all gone I began to feel like a
new man. I continued using the
pills for a couple of months when
I was again as well and as strong
as ever I had been in my life, and
1 have not seen a sick day since. I
feel confident there is no remedy
in the world equal to Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for building up a broken
down and nervous system, and for
such trouble I would strongly re-
commend them."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pill cure such
cases as Mr. Weaver's because they
make the rich, red, blood that feeds
the starved nerves and tones and
strengthens every part of the body.
That is why they cure anaemia,
rheumatism, indigestion, neuralgia,
St. Vitus dance, paralysis and
ether troubles due to bad blood and
shattered nerves. Sold by all me-
dicine dealers or by mail at 50
cents a box or six boxes for $2.50

Dorothy, aged 5, who had been
very ill, was much impressed with
the wisdom of the family physician.
"Why, mamma," she said one day,
"if I wanted to die I couldn't,

A Sound Stomach Means a Clear
Head.—The high pressure of a nerv-
ous life which business men of the
present day are constrained to live
make draughts upon their vitality
highly detrimental to their health.
It is only by the most careful treat-
ment that they are able to keep
themselves alert and active in their
various callings, many of thein
know the value of Parmelee's Ve-
getable Pills in regulating the sto-
mach and consequently keeping the
head clear.

WAR LOSSES FROM DiSEASE.
In a recent campaign of the

were sent to the front, of whom 20
were killed in action, and over 7,-

ease. In the Boer war the English
losses were ten times greater from

A CONTEST NORTH ENTERING.
PROOF POSITIVE.
A little more stooping in the furin,
A little more dint in the eye.
A little more faltering of the step
As we tread life's pathway o'er,
And a little nearer every day
To the ones who have guns before.
.\ little more halting of the gait,
And a dulness of the ear ;
A growing weariness of the frame
With each swift passing year.
A fading of hopes and ambitions,
too,
A faltering in life's quest,
And a little nearer every day
To a sweet and peaceful rest.
A little more loneliness in life,
As the dear ones pass away ;
A bigger claim on the heavenly land
With every passing day.
A little farther from toil and care,
A little less way to roans ;
A drawing near to a joyful hope,
And a happy welcome home.

EH PRESS WAS HEROINE.
Dowager Empress of Russia Twice
Saved Ihlsbaad's Life.
The reported discovery of the
Czarina of a "Terrorist death sen-
tence" lying on the bed of her
sleeping son recalls two similarly
tragic episodes in the life of her
mother-in-law, the Dowager Em-
press. On one occasion she found
on her husband's dressing -table a
curious and unfamiliar jewel case,
and, on picking it up to examine
it more closely, was both surprised
and alarmed at its weight. Hur-
rying with it to her own room, she
plunged it into a basin of water,
and summoned the Prefect of Po-
lice, who pronounced the innocent -
looking jewel case a bomb of a par-
ticularly deadly type. On another
occasion, on entering Alexander's
study, the Czarina fancied she
heard a slight rustling sound be-
hind the window curtains. With a
rare presence of mind she took her
husband away under pretext of
bidding his children "good -night"
in the nursery. On leaving the
room she locked the door and gave
the key to a party of soldiers, who
on entering and examining the
study, made the startling discovery
that some one had made his escape
through the window.
