Baale of Judah, or Baale Judah; was about nine miles west of Jerusalem. It was also called Kirjath-jearim (I Chron. 18: 6), The Name of the Lord: of Hosts, that is Jehovah Sabaoth, was _pecu- liarly sacred to the people of Israel, and was associated in their minds with the great work of Moses and Joshua. He was the "Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel." Perez-Uzzah. ~ This name, which means "the breach of Uzzah," is ex- plained by the strange story of the death of Uzzah, a story difficult for us to understand. The act of Uzzah seems to have been right and proper, for he sought to hold the ark in its place when the stumbling of the oxen on the rough road, might have upset it. To the Hebrew of those days, how- ever, the mere touching of so sacred an object hy an ordinary, unconse- crated person, was an act of sacri- lege, and for that they believed Uzzah to have been punished." David was afraid of the Lord that day. The death of the driver of the cart seemed to him an evil omen. The time was not propitious. Jehovah was angry. He would, therefore, leave the ark in the house of Obed-edom, the Gittite, that is a native of Gath, and probably 2 Philistine, 'until a e. i 11-19. The Lord Blessed Obed- Edom.

You've sat there dreaming long enough. Get on your apron. The sink's full of dishes, and if you don't hurry up they won't be done in time for supper" And the one opportunity of the day for talk- ing over with mother the things she had heard at school was lost, "Again and again she sought the chance of a quiet chat, at which times her courage was screwed to its limit; but always just as the parched lips were about to form the question, some forgotten duty called the mother away or some task was unloaded on the little girl. Even at bedtime there was. no opportunity for a heart-to- heart talk. Yother didn't believe in babying her big girl, as she called reading a bedtime story or stopping in the dimly lighted room for friendly conversation. - \ 4 The days passed and the perplex- ing questions remained unanswered. More and more did Mabel cling to the circle of big girls at school and strain her ears to catch every word that was uttered. Then one day, one of the 'girls less scrupulous than the others, took Mabel in charge and filled her eager, listening ears with the vilest. of: information. * Mabel shuddered at the dreadful stories, She was frightened, and could never, never, talk to her mother about such Shings. : Thus the opportunity for learning about life and its mysteries, through the pure, undefiled lips of her mother, and cloaked in all the beauty which should surround the workings of Na- ture, was lost and lost ferevér; and all because mother had been too busy to give her wondering daughter a few 'minutes for qhiet conversation.

Yet how many mothers have sent thelr daughters along the right road? For it must ever be remembered that \it is in these talks between mother: and- daughter that the great and good truths can be learned. A tite can not be set for a girl to be told these things. It may be early, it may be late, but whenever that time comes, there must be the oppor- tunity for a quiet tall with mother, and mother must be ready to answer the questions which tremble on the eager, oftentimes frightened and hesi-| tating lips. It is for that reason, if for no other one, that mother should not always be too rushed with work to listen to all her little girl has to say; and for .that reason, too, that tasks should not always be crowded upon daughter as soon as school is over. Don't think that mother must always talk, or that she must broach the subject. It is most often in the quiet spells that the courage is ac- quired to ask the grave, important questions, for they are questions which instinctively are hard to ask, Be close to your daughter at all times. Be her gonfidante. Watch for signs of perplexing problems; and when the eyes grow dreamy and the lips tremble, bide your time lest you frighten away the approaching confi- dence. Don't begrudge a few minutes at bedtime to kiss daughter good- night, to mingle your prayers with hers, or to linger' for a little chat before she goes to sleep. Neither you nor she will forget the mother-talks given at that time. Mother-talks! Some mothers are always too busy, always too rushed to indulge in them. Some mothers, having been deprived of such op- portunities, would not know. how to proceed with their daughters.- Yet our girls of to-day who are to be the wives and mothers of to-morrow must, as life and its mysteries unfold be- fore them, be given these opportun- ities. It happens that confidences usually occur while mother and daughter work together, or as they walk together, out in the open, across fields and down shady lanes, at twilight and at bed- time. The wise, tender, careful mother, to whom a child's future is a precious thing, will hold herself in readiness and grasp-the opportunities as they present themselves.

Regularity in baby's care will establish good habits. Good habits are something which will be a benefit to him through life. The first years of a child's life are, for these rea- sons, the most important. If he has the right sort of care then and is trained in the right sort of habits from the very first day of his life he will grow and develop properly. He willbe a happy baby and, there- fore, a good baby, for he hasn't any reason to be otherwise. On the other hand, careless and ir- regular feeding, keeping "baby awake at all hours, walking him to show to the neighbors, taking him out to walk when he ought to be in bed will make a baby unhappy and cross.

Mother's milk is always ready and never sours. It does not have to be prepared or measured. It is virtually always safe. Mother's milk contains the proper ele- ments of food in the right proportion for the growing child. The baby will have the best chance of living if he is mother-fed. Ten bottle-fed babies die to one that is fed to the mother, The new-born baby is put to nurse when he is five or six hours old. Dur- ing the firs twenty-four hours he should nurse mot more than four times, but at both breasts each time. A 'new-born baby may be given plain cool-boiled water at regular intervals hetween nursing. Do not give him any kind of tea or other mixture, Beginning with the second day, baby should nutee every two and one- half to three hours, On the three- hour schedule he nurses at 6, 9 and 12 a.m. until four months old. In the event the milk is delayed longer than the third day baby should be fed from the bottle at three-hour intervals, but he should be put te nurse régularly in order to stimulate the flow of milk, The average healthy baby until it is four months old nurses every three hours.

Fruits should be taken freely; all ripe, raw fruits and cooked fruits. Drinks---mitk; buttermitk, cocoa and plenty of water, one or two quarts daily; tea and coffee sparingly, and not strong, once a day. No beer of other alcoholic drinks, Weaning the Baby. ! A baby should not be nursed after one year. At that age he needs a more solid food to make him grow strong. : A baby should be weaned gradually, and the milk at firet should be only half the strength of the formula used for 'a normal child of the same age. Then the milk should be gradually increased in strength. Weaning may usually begin at about the ninth month, by giving baby one feeding of cow's milk, using two parts milk and one part water. If he digests this well, the amount of water can be decreased gradually until at ten or eleven months he may be taking whole milk. The number of milk feeding can be slowly increased, until at one year of age the baby is weaned entirely. A baby weaned at nine or tert months may be taught to take milk from a cup. Increase in the baby's diet must be made with caution, especially during the summer. It is better to keep the baby on a low diet than to upset his digestion by over-feeding, A baby one year of age in July should not be weaned during the hot months if he is doing well. Infants should be weaned when the mothers are suffering from a diseasa which they might transfer to the child,' such as 'typhoid fever and tubercul- osis; or if the mother Is suffering from some disease which might be aggravated by nursing, such as Bright's disease, tuberculosis and acute pneumonia, The Infant should likewise be weaned if he is to have a successor, or if the mother is suffer-' ing from inflammation of the breast. ; hogan, 5 Words of Wisdorn. hours, four during th eday and one at night, as follows: 6 a.m, 10 a.m. 2+ p.m., 6 p.m., 10 p.m, It is necessary to follow regular hours for nursing, If baby is fed every time he cries his digestion soon] will be upset.
