— - HBXAMINER SP TH Dh eke 4B eR How the Baby Grows. (THE CHILDREN’S OprNION.) salamat: ag i Nobody sees the baby grow, Raby dear with laughing eyes, Who came to our house 4 year ago. Looking ever so wrinkled and wise ; But every day of the happy year He has taken upon him some beauty new, | And as for growing, why this is clear, Ho’s never had anything else to do, Grandmamma says, “When he’s asleep, Then it is that the baby grows.”’ Close to the crib we often creep To watch, but we don’t think grandma) knows, Never a fringe ofthe golden hair Clustering soft around his brow Lengthens the least while we are there, And yet it is growing—the wonder, how? Teacher talks of chemical things Which into a secret of life combine, And mother, listening, softly sings i ‘Oh God, be good to this boy of mine !’ And into the sunuy summer days Orinto the winter evenings cold She weaves the notes of her joyful praise While closely about him her fond fold, arms Nobody sees the baby grow, But over his rosy }Jittle face The prettish ripples of langhter flow, The dancing adimples merrily chase, The tiny feet are learning to walk, The rounded limbs are growing strong The lisping tong is learning to talk, As cheerly pass the days along. Nobody can explain it all, But one thing to our thoughts is clear ; God, who sees if a sparrow fali, Sent our beautiful baby here, And mother cares for him, day and night—| ’Tis easy enovgh when she loves him so— | And God, whenever she puts out the light, | Just looks in and makeshim grow. —Harper’s Young People. | a Edible Earth a | Many travelers have attested, and it| may be verified inmany colonies, says | the Science Monthly, that certain clayey | earths have been long used as food. | Clay is composed of silica, alumina and water, colored by metallic oxides, | Some samples of edible earth are com-| posed, as tripoli of ionumerable | microscopic aod fossilized sheils of fresh water infusoria. How men came} to have recourse to such aliment may | be without evidence; but similar circumstances have led to like results ip countries remote to each other. The} Otomacs, a people of Southern America, take regularly a pound or more per day of arich clay which appeases hunger | without injury. Among the Indians on, the border of the Amazon clay forms} part of their food, when other| ailments abound. Edible earth is found | in Bolivis, and one kind, which has an agreeable odor, is much esteemed by} 18, even the Peruvians. The negroes of Jam- acia have recourse to it when other} tood fails ; on the other hand,the negroes of Guinea, transported to America,seek for dn earth like what they are accus- tomed to, and in its absence they con- sume the white pipe-clay, to the injury | of their health, Io the kingdom of Siam the women and children a6 earth-eaters; in Java (says Labillardiere) | taey make a sort o! cake of ferrugin-| ous Clay, which is eaten to produce | leamness. It is an object of commerce | in Anoam and Tonquin. The usage! is widespread, existing in Guiana, New Caledonia, Sibera, Terra del Fuego,and among some descendants of the old nav gatorsin Portugal. The Indians ofthe Dutch colonies of Java and Samatra make a peculiar preparation with edible earth, reducing it to a paste | with water,spreading it into thin plates, | morsels of which are grilled in a pan over a charcoul fire. These little slips, rolled up, are like dried bark,of a warm grey or ruddy color. They also make roughly modelled figures, like our ginger-bread mev, and sweetmeats. H. Heymeyer showed at Amsterdam, in 1883, specimens of edible earth in its natural state, and prepared also a few little figures, imitations of fruits and fancy objects. The flavor of these delicacies 1s empyreumatic,and the mild, slightly aromatic sensation which follows the first taste arises from the earth itself, to which no condiment is added. The early origin of the custom of making various ailmentary sub- stances into human shapes is obscure. a. ™:. In an English town an infant fell from an upper storey and landed upon the bustle of a lady’s dress. A gentle- man who was walking behind caught the little creature before it had time to roll off. ‘The child was unharmed. +*#Sere Special Notices.

A l»erge number have been in contant uge for eight years, and the repairs have been very trifling, in many instances none have been required. This valuable expérience should be sufficicnt evidence of their durability, which is accounted for in the following :—It has, instead of a Lined Fire Box, two heavy Currugated Cylinders, which obviate the expense connected with ail Square Cooking Stoves of being compéiied to 1enew Linings and Grates, at least once or twice every year. The beat being radiated from the Cylin- ders to the floor, where most needed, cvercomes a_ serious objection to all kinds of ordinary Coal Cooking S‘oves. The Cylinders are situated directly under the cover holes, and a fire may be made in one or both, thus adapting it for use either in winter or summer, with equa! satietiction, besides effecting a great saving to fuel. I have also attached the PATENT TELESCO?I® OVEN to all my Elevated Oven Wood Stoves, such as the Waterloo, Niagara, Star, &c , causing the thousands using them to exclaim-—“y Stoves are worth TEN DOLLARS MORE than the same kind made by other foundriez. The trade and retail parchasers will please bearin mind the fact that although a great advantage is claimed for my own Oven above all others, they cost no more, and being the sole manufacturer and patentee, no other f.undry can supply. En- quire for Fawcett’s Patent Telescope Oven, and it your dealer has none on hand send direct to the Sackville Stove Foundry, I am adding several new and handsome Patterns this season, which, with my former large variety of One Hundred Pifferent Patterns and Sizes of Cooking, Parlor, Office and Hall Stoves, also Farmers Boilers, Hollowware, Plougbs, Steve Pipes and Tinware, com- prise the most complete assortment offered by any manvfacturer in the Lower Provinces, Terms and prices will be found as favorable as can be obtained elsewhere, CLARLES PAWCETT.
