Two boys in the Sunday school, who stood at the head of the class, were invariably in-variably asked the same questions, which were: "Who made you?" and "To what do you return?" To which! the first boy would always reply, "God n.ade me," and the second boy an- : bwered. "Dust of the earth." On this occasion the first boy was absent, ab-sent, so the first question, "Who made! vou?" was addressed to the second 1 boy. - i Si "DuHt of the earth." he replied. I "Quite wrong. Tommy: Tkxl made 1 you." said the teacher, indignantly. V "No. teacher, the boy as God made i has gone home with ihe stomach.ache " I I Eatinj Between Meais.

"The best remedy I know for receding reced-ing gums." says a dental surgeon. ":s to saturate soda or bicarbonate of soda, used freely as a wash and also in massaging mas-saging the gums. The soda solution is soothing to the irritated flesh and is also strengthening. In massaging rub the gums with a rotary motion from the roots downward so that any pus that might have formed between the teeth and the gums will be forced out. j for if left around the roots, the foreign matter will decay and may cat into 1 them and ruin the teeth." f Don't Talk Too Much to the Baby. j "What, not talk 'o my bayy!": ex-( ex-( claimed the young mother, who sat I holding- her 3-momhs-old bAbv, and j chat tering to it with the fond foolish-j i n.-sp ' of which young mothers arc ea- j j pable. "No, my clear: don't 'Vlk to him so much, not nearly so nni." re-I plied the cider woman. "Dear as&he is, j you must not forget, how deli-ato in j every way a tiny baby is." The young mother was sobored. but not eomnieed; "How can it possibly hurt himi"' she asked. j "He cannot understand Tn...erl 1 do so love to see him smile and answer my talk with his hapny look." "Which proves thiit he doeJ understand,' under-stand,' and in his way replies to your loving talk: and it is that whfch is the strain. Let him grow natural1. and not by a forcing process." t s . Amusing Sick Children. The most difficult period of a child's illness is probably ihe time whsn the crisis is past, whin much depends on the mother or. nurse, rind when the doctor doc-tor recommends amusement without fatigue, which m.ikes no strain on the nervous system, and causes no effort of the imagination. It is precisely the time whe'i the mother reigns supreme and triumphant. Love gives her .n tuition, tui-tion, and she knows by insiinM how to proportion the simple amusements, with which her very soul is stored, to the age and state of the little patient who is above all. her child. The infant may be s: mused by a dancing: danc-ing: doll or a roiling ball, but the child who has begun to walk and talk de- mands something more. A pretty little Punch and Judy show may be managed by knotting up a couple of pocket handkerchiefs and thrusting the first, or second fmger of each hand into their cambric heads. They may go through a whole pantomime panto-mime of the funny but non-exci.'rng or-f!er. or-f!er. Fairy tales and all sorts of stories may be told, but caro should bo taken I to exclude eiants. dirrcs.

'which cjin be placed right across the bed. and will hold many playthings and some games, such as loto. dominoes and cards. The dressing o-' tiny dolls with crinkled paper skirts anf. ribbon sashes is often a great delight to little girls. Th greai thing on the part of tho mother is to preserve a cheerful face, to be always amused herself, or to M-em so. Little children arc aft to follow with their eyes the patterns of the w;i!l paper. pa-per. It is a relief if a new picture be pinned up on the wall and changed occasionally. oc-casionally.

But ms a iule it is the middle of the back -which comes against the beck of the seat, consequently the spine tkes a curved position, the chest is depressed so that the lungs do not act pioperly, and the strain comes upon muscies which were never intended to be:i.- it.
