A farmer, who had passed innumerable sleepless nights immortalised himself by discovering a method of keeping babies quiet. The mode of operation is ns follows As soon ns the squal or wakes, set it up, propped by a pillow if it can’t sit alone ; then sowar its fingers with thick treacle, then put half-a-dozen feathers in its hands, and it will sit and pick the feathers from one hand to the other till it drops asleep. As soon as it wakes up again treacle and more feathers, and i i place of the nerve astounding yells there will bo silence and enjoyment unspeakable.
