. Little shoe-strings all untied,
That make the tiny shoes go—'‘flop.”
A hat with half the rim torn off,
A hole that show’s the curls on top.
But then beneath it such a face;
All roguishness and baby glee.
And dimples that play hide and seek,
About the crimson mouth so wee.
And fingers—but why try to tell
The awful mischief they contrive?
The doggie could a tale unfold;
But kitty—she is not alive.
And is he wicked when he swims
Small chickens in the place of ducks ?
Or if he see’s the buds unfold—
Before the flower comes—he plucks ?
Or when he takes his sister’s dolls
And pulls the “criers” in them out?
Or runs a pin in papa’s watch
To see what little “ticks” about
Oh. mother hearts! you’ll take him in ;
This naughty terror: household joy,
Because in him you surely see
The’ image of your own dear boy.

AN OLD FAVORITE.
Os all the subjects to be considered when
we are brought face to facewiththe question
“How shall I train my child ?” there are
few of greater importance than the taste we
permit to be formed for reading. It is a
salient part of the mental culture of chil
dren, and is not without a lasting effect on
their moral as well as intellectual character.
This fact is so well understood by thought
ful parents, and has been so frequently im
pressed on the minds of careless ones, that
there is no need of reiteration here.
It is frequently the case that the first
books we read are held more perfectly in
our minds than any that we read subse
quently. Os all the books I have enjoyed,
that which gave me the most unalloyed
pleasure was one that an elder sister read
aloud to me, many times, before I had be
come proficient in that acquirement myself.
N o other has ever caused me to thrill with
such perfect delight. My sister had a sweet
and expressive voice and would enter in
to the story with almost as much interest
as I did. I remember distinctly how I
would sit on alow chair at her feet and
drink in every word; the characters were
as real to me as flesh and blood, and, for
the time being, I lived with them. As the
story drew to an end my head would fall
on my sister’s lap, and it was always con
cluded amid a flood of tears. I felt as if I
were parting with my dearest friends, and
was disconsolate until the promise was
given that the story should be read to me
again—and again I would hear it with in
satiable interest, and again have to be com
forted with the assurance that it would be
re-read. Many times was this programme
enacted, and I have often wondered at the
untiring patience of that dear sister.
I have never seen a copy of this wonder
ful story since my childhood days, and I
never see it advertised in any of the cata
logues. Perhaps it has gone out of print.
There are many new and charming juvenile
books now published, but I often wished
that I had this one to put into the hands
of my little friends; a purer, sweeter story
was never written. If I remember
rightly it was called Jfr. Rutherford’s
Children and the author was Elizabeth
SVetherel, who was really a Miss Warner}
It was the home-life of two little orphan
girls—Chrissy and Sybil, who lived with
their aunt and uncle. They spent the
summer at their countrv home and went to

town in the winter. The book was pub
lished in two volumes, one giving an ac
count of the country and the other of the
city life. I recollect that I thought the
bindings quite appropriate,for the one that
told of the country home was bound in
green covers,and the other in sombre brown
I think I preferred the former, if there was
a shade of preference between my two
treasures.
I rarely smell locust blossoms now but
that I think of a certain chapter in that
book, and it has been many, many years
ago. If Mr. Rutherford’s Children is now
to be obtained I would advise mothers to
get it for their little girls; I do not see how
it could fail to delight them. Perhaps I am
unduly partial to it, for it is indissolubly
associated with the memory of the sweet
sister who read and re-read it to me: death
has long since stilled her voice.
But I know the love of this old favorite
is not all partiality; it is one of the most
life-like and enchanting books that ever
delighted a childish mind. I want to read
it again myself, and would gladly exchange
any novel that has been published in the
last ten years for a copy of it. Can any
one tell me where I can obtain it? If so,
I would be glad to receive the information
through the columns of Woman’s Work.
I am sure our editress will not object to
this, for it will bring to the notice of those
who must provide reading matter for chil
dren, a sweet and wholesome book that
may be just what they would most like.
Juvenile taste may have changed, but I
think not—to much extent.

BABIES IN MIDSUMMER.
How to Treat the Little Creatures
When the Mercury is Away Up.
It is a pretty big job to pilot a baby
through a summer’s campaign. A promi
nent Cincinnati physician, being interview
ed the other day, expressed the
opinion that a baby should never be
given milk save from the breast of its
mother, or, if that be impossible, from the
breast of a foster mother. He stated that
so many of the dairy cows nowadays are
consumptive or otherwise diseased that in
the first place their milk, even if unadult
erated, is poisonous. Again, he said that
the cows milk is jolted for hours in hot
weather before it is delivered to consumers,
and thus is literally churned. Thus it is
eminently unfit for the use of infants. The
conduct of mothers who nurse their chil
dren from the breast was also referred to.
Frequently it is the case that mothers be
come overheated and wrought up over the
washtub, and other household duties, and
their milk is then unfit for a child to drink.
A baby’s stomach is irritable and tender.
It is overloaded with milk and it becomes
a source of pain, just as a cinder does when
it flies into a person’s eye. Remove the
cinder and relief follows. The baby throws
up the milk and the pain ceases, unless it
be hot weather, when it goes off through
the bowels and sickness results. So it is
with solid food, only in a more pronounced
degree. Therefore solid food should not be
given an infant until it is able to masticate
its food; especially starch food, such as po
tatoes, etc., should be avoided.
One great mistake mothers make is to
suckle their children every time they cry.
That is not right. They ought not to give
them the breast oftener than once in two
hours at first, and this interval ought to be
lengthened to three hours after awhile.
During the night they should not suckle
them more frequently than once. The
proper thing to do is to give them a
drink of water. The little things are
oftener thirsty than hungry. The doctor
said that ice should be given
the little ones in abundance while they are i
teething. It relieves and cools the hot, in- ■
flamed gums, and the baby does not swal- I
low enough ice-water to hurt it, because it
wastes the greater part of it.
The use of flannels on babies all through
the summer was animadverted upon severe
ly. The doctor declared that children
should be clad to suit the weather. Such a
temperature as the last week has proved to
be, required the use of flannels, but in very
warm weather the infants ought to be al
lowed about one garment, and that a pretty
light one.— Cincinnati Enquirer.
