Musis Soothes.
: « A Frenchman has discovered a way to soothe with music the troubled breast of a baby. Animals are known to be susceptible to the influence of mnsic, and as the baby is an animal, the baby can be circumvented thafc way. Some people become ill on hearing the first notes of a musical instrument — notably the dute. Not so the baby. Take any ordinary baby at 4 a.m. It wakens n up, it is insulted by the silence, indignation succeeds, and it begins to cry. This is tbe time to bring out the musical box — at least M. Bezi* chinsky says bo ; and then tha in* fant sleep.. A piano is, tbe pro* feasor say*, even better, but either leaves bromide of potassium and the soothing syrup* far behind. One nocturne neutralises another.
