HELPING BABY TO THINK
Education Starts Long Before Schooldays. The Really hn-
portant Time in Early Life is When Baby Begins
to Think for Himself.
All mothers will tell you that their
babies are very wise., They abound
in an instinctive wiadoni; which, being.
~given to them naturally at birth, ha's
'as its main objective the obtaining of
exactly what they want.
For this purpose in early days the
lungs are employed frequently and
fully, but gradually the little one be-
gins to think and act for himself. It
is sheer delight to all parents to watch
this development, the stages of which
can be marked by the baby's power to
do certain thingerand to puzzle out
problems which, to the infant mind,
arbefull of pitfalls.
• Wise mothers will tell you that as
--soon as baby is born you can tell
whether he is mentally perfect by put-
• ting some email round bbject—it used
to be a half -sovereign in the old days—
bate the wee open palm. If baby im-
mediately closes his chubby •fingers
tightly over the treasure—well, you
have no further need to worry about
the little one's mental powers; he is
certain to be fully equipped in that re-
spect.
Smiles and Tears.
A really healthy baby should begin
to take an intelligent interest in
things when about six months old. At
this age, if a watch is put to his ear,
he should smile, and as soon as the
"tick -tick" is taken away his sound
lungs should come into play.
Between the sixth and ninth months
baby should be found trying to lift
things for hiinself, and as the &Team-
niversary of his birth comes round he
should 'be able to lift quite heavy toys
and other things, which were never
intended to be toys at all, and quite
easily. Also he should be beginning
to reason for himself.* •
At this age a child. will copy a par-
ent who sounds a note on the piano,
and will begin to see the connection
between the striking of the note and
the "noise" which follows.
Then, again, his little mind should
now be able to tackle problems. He
should be able to underitand that, if
one of his small toys" is put inside a
box in his presence, and the lid closed
down; the -treasure le not irretrievable.
If the lid. is not too heavy and does
not stick, baby, after tinkering with it
for a bit, during which time he Is turn-
ing the problem over in his mind,
should. try to open it.
Learning ao Talk.'
Now, of course, conies the most in-
teresting of all periods, in baby's
growth. He learns tc speak, and
copies everything that is said, select-
ing, If possible, the longest word in
any sentence to repeat: Baby's mind
is still keeping astride of his develop-
nient in other directions, and at eigh-
teen months he should begin to point
out and name animals and so on, pia-
turesof which .are shown him in
books.
At this stage the child memory Is
continually coming into use, and every
week you find that baby remembers
things for a longer period.
So the gradual development of the
little brain goes on until the time
comes for the child to' go to school
and learn terribly big things out.'of
specially-prepaied books. And Whe
shall say that the .earlier "sducatfon"
of the home le not more important
than the mere formal studies of the
school.,
Countries Out of Shape.
Modern pap -makers regard the
maps made •a few hundred years- ago
as great curiosities—and so they are,
yet every atlas published in the twien-
tieth century borrows an idea from
the fifteenth century. It is known as
Mercator's projection.
As a rule, the map of the world is
represented -in our atlas in two forme
--flra the two hemispheres side by
side, with America and the Pacific oc- '
cupying alrnost the whole of one, and
the rest of the continents and emeans
nearly the whole of the other. But the
two circles are difficult of mental ad-
justment, as they require to be placed'
back to back to represent the cteal
geography of the globe.
This difficulty was recognized by a
famous geographer named Gerardus
Mercator. He originated the system,
still followed, of drawing the map of
the World as though the .geobe • were
flat, having all the meridians of longi -
tithe pasallel and at right angles to
the parallels of latitude.
Thus one gets a bira's eye view
the world, as it were, but only the part
of the map adjacent to the Equator are
correct to scale. As the map proceeds
north and south towards the poles,
, oceans and continents expand mor
and more, and are thus out of proper -
tion. Nevertheless, the advantages of
this projection, named after Mercator,
aa•e obvious.

Saving the Buffalo.
Many people recall "Buffalo ,Bill."
He got his name from his prowess as,
a hunter or the American bison. He,
and others, almost exterminated this
magnifieent beast; Which, within the
memory of many now living,' roamed
the prairies of the United •States, and
Canada in vast horde.
To -day the only teeffaloe left in
United States are preserved in Yellow-
etone Park; but in Canada, where
there is more room, the buffalo is like-
iy to become a national easel,
source of revenue.
It is estimated that there, are in
Canada 104000 head of buffalo, ,and
their preservation is hie to the late
Lord Strathcona, who, nearly fifty
years ago, collected a small herd for
his, estate near 'Winnipeg. They flour-
islied"ancl.increased, and were bought
by the Government to stook the na-
time' park at Banff, in the Rockies.
When the herd had increased to
about 700 it was removed to 160
.square miles of territory in Alberta.
Here the herd thrived, and now it is
about 8,060 strong. The Dominion has
•established another herd in Alberta, at.
Elk /eland Park.

tive and Easy to Give.
You do not have to coax and threat-
en to get the little ones to take Baby's
Own Tablets. The ease with which
they are given, as compared with
liquid medicines, will appeal to every
raother. None is spilled or wasted;
you know just how big a doze has
reached the little stomach. As a rem-
edy for the ills of childhood arising
from derangements of the stomach
and bowels they are n.ost satisfac-
tory.
• Mrs. Rose Voyer, Willimantic, Conn.,
says:—"I used Baby's Own Tablets in
the Canadian Northwest and found
them a wonderful medicine for child-
ren's troubles, especially indigestion
and constipation. I have also given
them to my children for simple fever
and the restlessness accompanying
teething and they always gave relief.
I can recommend Baby's?, Own Tablets
to all mothers."
Baby's Own Tablets are sold by
medicine dealers or by maid at 26

A Tulchan.
In this seventeenth century—two
hundred years ago—the dairymen of
Scotland, when ever they had an un-
ruly. cow which refused, to let down
her milk to the milker, -would bring
out a tulehan, by means of which they
completely deceived the animal, and
induced her to give her milk to the
dairymaid freely.
A tulcban was simply a calf -skin
stuffed with. hay in a rude mannetr.
This imitation calf was brought, its
head bent under the cow, and while
the mother thought her young one
was drawing off the milk, it was, in
reality, the cunning milkmaid who ,was
doing so.
_In 1617, Ring James, as Carlyle, in
his Cromwell's Letters, tells us, ap-
pointed certain men for -certain duties
in Scotland. The Scotch were very
much opposed to these new appoint-
ments, for the object of them was to
deceive the people and to drain the
money away from them.
For this reason, the Scotch gave
these new appointees the name of WI-
ahem—pieces, of political mechanism
constructed by Parliament and the
Ring's Council, to deceive the poor
Scotch and "milk" thein of their re-
venue.
In life, there are,' alas, tulchan
friends and tulchaa friendships, even
unto this day. Many a lad Is decoyed.
Into evil by tulchan promises and pro-
fessions, What sort of friends are
these? Real ones?. A thousand times
no. They are "tellchans"—false—a
mere similitude of the trath. Beware
of them, while they are begelling you.
Satan may step in and make you his
prey.
Wben bad men try to win the hearts
Of others, thce makeall sorts of pro-
feesions and use all sorts of ,specious
