An Infmtile Habit That Sometimes
Sticks and Breeds Trouble.
Once In awhile a rare stammering
ease romcH to the luhoratory where
there's nothing the matter with the
chlld-tlic matter Is witli his dear i
iiiaininn. In r.m.l Dr. Wltnicr exaniln-'
nl ti luiv of lu'i'lvp ivhn tulkt! hflhv '
talk a lirllit. nlert youuexter, to all
nppearuuees normal. Hut nobody could
understand n word he uttered except
mamma; slie underHtiKMl It all per
fectly. "I ii w ow ny" wbb to her
ear "I want to ko out to piny" as
plain as anything could he. It was her
tender custom to reply likewise, and
she took pride In the thought tuat she
hnd never allowed her Willie to asso
ciate wlih the children on the block.
She had cneoui'AKed him to be her
hnhy and "kept hiui from crowing up
too soon" by prattling to him.
Kxcept for his unintelligible lau
guni;c, the I'xnuilnation did not reveal
a defect, physical or mental. In the
hoy, ami Dr. Wltnicr was forced to
the conclusion Unit the trouble lay in
the persistence of an Infantile habit "f
articulation for which the mother w.ih
solely responsible. Through senti
mentality and nvcrindulKciice "she u id
almost ruined his chances for a use
ful and possibly successful life."
(I'sycholiiKirnl clinic. .March. 1W7.)
Mouths of painstaking, expert labor
had to be expended upon him to break
up the habit his mother had carefully
developed before he could even begin
to iiinke himself understood by any
one else. Dr. Winner of Vale In Mc

"Among i he memories of n:y boy
hood, " said a New York 111:111. "there
Is one odd episode that Is partiiiiinrly
vivid. It Is a conversation that I over
heard one morning as 1 walked toward
the Boston high school between two
women. '
"The women were talking about ba
bies their size, weight, health, and so
forth.
'"Why, w hen I was 11 week old,' said
the first woman, 'I was such a little
baby that they put me In a ipiart pot
and put the lid on over me.'
"The other woman was amazed aud
horrified. 'And did you live? she
asked.
"'They say I did." her friend an
swered. "Well, well, wellf exclaimed the
second woman. And she glanced nt
the other almost doubtfully."
About Matches.
John Walker, an English chemist,
was experimenting In IS'.'" w it li an In
flammable mixture for use on ship
board. One day Walker luippened to
rub a stick dipped in this mixture
across n table. There was a report
the stlc'k tool; lire, and because .lohn
Walker was no fool the inat'h w-is
born. The match's Inventor put his
wonderful invention on the market
In April. lS'.'T. The Walker match was
as big as a lead pencil, and it cost a
shilling a box. Itecause It could only
be lighted by drawing II through a
piece of sandpaper folded In two the
lloldeu match supplanted it la IK'.:!
The lloldeu was a Inciter. It Ignited
more easily than the Walker, so it put
the Walker out of business. Sweden
Is today the hoinu of the match In
