Modern blocks are much better: the best are of stone and are in a variety of shapes, so that baby and even baby’s big brother can exercise his fancy and cultivate his architectural taste by building all sorts of structures, and structures, too, whith will not collapse at a touch.

A Dissatisfied Baby. 1 was talking with another baby this | morning while I was in the park, and my bonne, Lisette, was flirting with a big man who wore a blue suit with brass buttons onit. She wasa poor baby, and I wish I were like her. I am one of the richest babies in the world, but what does a baby want with money? I would rather have a really and truly mamma who loved me, and fed me | baby sister about in a home-made carriage. learn to express their thoughts in the | if | the autoharp, and | the governess or the Delsarte woman or the dancing master, or Herr von Broeck, the music-teacher, all the time. She is getting ready to ‘‘come ont” three years from now, so I henrg Lisette tell another bonne, *Coming ont,” they say, means: “Iam bid how much? Going, zoing—gone to the highest bidder!” I don’t see why my sister should want to when she has so much already. I hopeIwon’t have to be that way, t00; but I suppose I will, being, as the newspapers cnfi me, one of the lucky babies. Oh, if they only knew! Ail I want is & mamma, and the more monef I have the less mamma I have, for it only makes mor; functions.—Barrett Leland in Baby- ood. Condensed Milk. In a quiet and unostentatious corner of the Mission a small boy might have been seen the other day devotedly drawing his Upon four wheels, which had originally supported some other cartbed, a strong box was securely nailed. Inside the box the baby girl, solemn, round-eyved and content, sat erect and demure. The box bore a legend in large black letters. The boy and the baby seemed to take themselves seriously, but the letters spelled ‘‘Condensed milk Nursery Fashions and Fancies. A NECKL oF Pins.—A 'clever little present for Master Babykinsis a necklace of safety-pins of silver, gold or mickel, and as many of them as may be. The pins are simply " clasped together, the large and | small es alternately. The nursery is never over-supplied with safety-pins, most grateful of modern conveniences; so let the necklace be long enough and it will be sure to be a joy forever. Tae Mepicrxe Onest. — Invaluable for the nursery, and indeed for the home gen- erally, are the little medicine boxes so common and so inexpensive in Europe and so_diflicult to obtain here. A very fair | substitute for this convenience can be got- ten up piecemeal it is true, but at a much greater expense. The home-made medicine chest or cabinet, prepared to furnish ‘“first aid to the injured,” must be furnished with the following articles: A roll of old linen, a few bandages, some antiseptic cotton, court plaster, surgical plaster, a pair of sharp scissors, pins, needles and thread. Amongthe simple remedies which should be neatly arranged in compartments of the medicine chest are olive oil, vaseline, ground mustard, flaxseed (ground, for poultices), sulphur, pulverized alum, borax CHARLES LAWRENCE LINDSAY SPEAKS.

Tue WEIGHING Basker. — The basket which is now so elaborately prepared be- forehand for weighing the baby can be | made into 2 most convenient place for the little one to spend the first few weeks of its life without being large enough to be at all wkward. A large market-basket is first gilded or pamnted white or a delicate color. In the bottom is fitted a_tiny mattress which is declared much more whole- some than feathers or down. The mattress and a tiny pillow are supplied with a change of linen slip-covers, which may be embroidered and must be hemstitched. | The basket, which has been lined with Ch ilk, has a full frill of it falling over the edge, pethaps bordered with handsome | lace. The ribbon-bedecked handie of the basket must be firm and strong, for it will not only have to support its burden during the weighing procass, but must serve to ry the baby about whenever it is neces- or him to be moved. Of course, the eight of the basket will be inscribed upon , so that it is e: to find the baby’s weight and to repeat the operation in order to know how much it gained or lost from day to day. ME Book.—A pretty new fancy is to provide a dainty little volume for the new arrival, in which admiring relatives and friends may register their suggestions regarding a name for his majesty. A small blank book, with a cover designed by an artist, is the proper thing; ahd to the book, which has, perhaps, a parchment cover with a delicate sp: of baby’s flow- ers painted npon it, a pencil is tied with a ribbon.

My buggy is a beauntiful, dazzling-white affair, but I must say i would be willing to swap it for one like ‘Mary’s funny-look- | ing little thing. Lisette is not careful of me at all. She doesn’t like me. except when there is some one around who will “tell on her.”” IfI cry when we are alone, she shakes me until yowd think my little pink toe-nails wonld slxreliy drop off, and calls me a *‘cross little brat.” If Mary cries, Dora tries to find out what hurts her, and pets her. Some- times Lisette just rams my milk bottle (Mary didn't know what a milk bottle was till she saw mine) into my mouth when I hungry or not, just to stop my “squallin mouth,” she says. Then I eat (go nmclgl and get sick, and she cives me a dose of medicine that makes my head swim, and then I go tosleep.

EATS BULLETS. A Carpet Moth Dines on an Ounce of Lead. Last week Charles Johnson, a well- | known local hunter, of Marlington, W. Va., | got out his Winchester rifle, after it had been standing for two weeks in a closet with the barrel loaded, and found upon extracting the cartridge to clean the gun that the lead of the bullet had been eaten away and poured out of the barrel in fine dust. With the dust there came the dried body of a common moth, and the appear- ance of the moun indicated that it had eaten the lead from the bullet. He showed the moth and the leaddust to several friends and all agreed that everything in- dicated that the moth had eaten away the lead. One of Mr. Johnson’s friends hap- pened to be acquainted with Frank Johnson of Brooklyn, N. Y., a famous en- tomologist, and suggested that the moth and lead borings be sent to him for ex- { amination and report. Thiswasdone, and ‘to-day the report wasreceived. Mr, John- son says the moth was a common carpet moth, and that the gun, standing against the wall of the closet, had capttired the moth as it fell from some article of cloth- ing, and the moth, being unable to climb out of the smooth gun-barrel, had attacked the softest part it could find and had gone to work to bore its way out. He says that it is the second time on record, the first being where a French entomologist had Elaoed seyeral moths in a led box and they ad eaten their way out. He stated that the present case was most remarkable, as the moth had reduced nearly an ounce of lead to powder in less than fwo weeks, and that without food upon which to renew its energies.—Baltimore American. of curled hair, | A workingman working at his-trade is Mr. Charles L.
