Miss Geraldine Farrar, the beautiful American opera-singer, while at Berlin, aroused so much enthusiasm that at her farewell concert a crowd of German women stormed tlie platform, and attendants had to rescue her from these admirers by force. Alaska babies do not cry.' They try it and then give up the" bad habit from choice. To this desirable end they are gently persuaded by tlieir mothers. When a baby begins to cry the mother takes, a pot of water, fills her month with the liquid, and squirts it into the face of +lie weeping infant. If the cry increases in force, so does the stream of water. No word is spoken, no blow is struck, but the victory is sure. Very soon the infant begins to connect weeping with the squirting of water in its face. Becoming firmly convinced that the two things are inseparable’, it decides to cry iio more.
