For myself, i think it is u very stu- pid baby that does not cry when he always gets what he cries for. it is a long step toward peace in the turn lly. when mothers come to understand that a little firmness exercised at first will save them years of trouble anti sorrow later; when fathers can be per- suaded not to demand that “that little rascal be made to stop his noise at once. no matter how." A baby a few weeks old will very soon stop crying if uo-rattention is paid to him. if the no plus pricking him, or no clolhns wrinkled under him or otherwise an noying him; that the baby is “warm and dry and full." and if she then sacs away and loaves him. he may cry hard for a minute or two, but if he has not been spollcd already, be will soon be: come quiet. mile and kick and con. if he has heretofore glean humored. of course he will cry longer. but if one is absolutely firm about it two or three times. even quite an experienced baby will give it up; and no mortal child can learn too young that nothing ill this world is to be gained by crying. But blurry mothers lack the courage of their convictions. When they start to lay the baby down, he turns so rod in the face, and omits such 11 fearful shriek that they are afraid. and show it. The baby has learned that he can scare his mother in this way. If she persists. notwithstanding. tricks him up gently. kisses him, giv 1is him 11 last loving caress. and th. immediately goes out of the room and shuts the door. she will bo astonished to see' how quickly he will learn that little lesson Some mothers declare that lhcrr chief pleasure ill their babies consists ill rocking them. hugging them. and singing them to sleep. i suppose there is not a mother ill the world whose heart does not re spend to this feeling. who does not sometimes look back to her own baby hood. and listen and long for the echo of her own mother‘s evening lullaby She remembers, as is best. only the happiness of It. But the modern prin- clple of putting babies to sleep with: out rocking or cloonim: need not ill- icrfere in the least with any of the sweetness. the poetry. the charm. '1' the old way. if is neither practical nor soothing for the mother to be obliged to drop her baking or wrlsbln: roll down her sleeves, and rock the baby to sloop. There. are times when she must dress to go out in the even lug At such times. babies always fool the difference in the atmosphere the mother carries and promptly become restless ulld wakeful. if they are in tile habit of going to bod regularly at a certain time. they will do so now. A recent authority declares: "All methods of pulling children to sleep artificially ought to be proscrib- ed. including monotonous and urrmusi- cal lullabies. and th 'ocklug of babies ill cradles or sllupl in the arms. I have found by direct experiment thui an hour. produces in healthy adults a lowering of temperature of 0.5 do. groos C. and more or less pronounced phenomena of brain anemia 11nd pain at the heart.
