The arrangement of the picture is perfect, relating the story in sequential de-? c tall, and, by the use of the slightest Imagination, the auditor has no dlf- * Acuity in following and undorstand- t Ing it. The pursuit of Lygla by the l young patrician Vlnitlus la so thor- <3 oughly human it has a strong ap- t peal to everybody and when his earthly pasl'on is glorified through t conversion, the young man has ev- I erybody'a sympathy in his trials.

Of course, babies cry when in pain, ut you should find out if It is not ome of the above stated causes be-; ore deciding that it is pain which I causing the crying. Above all else, get the notion out f your head that every time tho aby cries it is hungry. If you are sure that none of the hings spoken of above are the cause T the crying, then the most probable ause is intestinal Indigestion and the [ulckest way to relieve it is by an nema of salt (solution (a teaspoonful X salt to a p|nt of warm wator.)
