When the first mother picked up
her fire child, to carry it from
where it was to where she wanted
it, the first step in the great busi-
ness of fetching and carrying was
taken. Since then many thous-
ands of devices for carryrne the
baby have been tried; but it can-
not be said that the oldeet of 8,11
problems in traffic has yet been
finally all(' satisfactorily solved.
The New Guinea baby, says the
Philadelphia Record, lives in a net
suspen.ded from its mother'a neck,
or is allowed to hang from a con-
venient peg in the dwelling, and
the infants of tropical America,
spend men of their time in ham-
mocks. The Africans never in-
vented any device for the conven-
ience of their little ones,`eitImr at
rest or traveling. Usually the

sort of ding in which to carry the
baby, the youngster clings around
her neck.
Wheeled carriages for babies
were devised by Europeans, con-
sisting, in tinier simplest form; of
an oblong frame with a crude re-
oeptacle for the infant, and two
wheels attached to the crossbar.
More commonly. European moth-
