Scientific Motherhood. Oh, deary me! Oh, dea^y me! That such a thing should ever be? That motherhood 9hould come at last And 'mongst the sciences be classed, With chemistry, astronomy, And ge and entom ology! I'm mighty glad, you may be sure. My mother wa9 an amateur. The scientific mother jogs Her infant like a thing of cogs; And cradles now no longer rock, Lest nervous systems they shall shock, The child is placed within a sling? A sort of antiseptic swing? And not too fast and not too 9low, Fair science sways him to and fro. The little babe's no longer pressed Against his untaught mother's breast, But held at arm's length, so that he May gather girth expansively; And when his little tummy's filled With milk and pepsin thrice distilled, He goes to dreamland by the rule On couch of medicated wool. The mother's ki9S is obsolete, As also is her hug so sweet; Because that dearest kiss of youth Holds microbes dangerous, forsooth! And every show of mother-love, With eyes lit like the skies above, Is quite forbidden, lest it serve To enervate the infant nerve. No scientific mother cheers With baby talk the infant earn, Bat moulds his character with speech Sach a9 the icy purists teach; And lullabies and soothing hand \ To send him into slumberland Cold science treats with sniffs and QUALITY You have probably bought many thin food, that cost a good price,' but under test of service soon proved themselves woi It might have been shoes that soon the sides, caps broke down, heels gave gave and soles were plated. guard a Vis? wear, and be c< : 1 | & wear your mon and choice stoc ing selections a Sole agent T. .A. 1 Opposite Post Office, -THE PRICES TELL 3.
