The Helpless Human Babe.
8ir William Turner at one of the

questions which probably most fathers
and mothers have asked themselves
Why are human babes, almost alone of
God's creatures, helpless at birth? and
Why does man walk upright, while all
other animals go on all

A Queer Educational Legacy
By the death of a cat the Temple
annrter in Paris receives a legacy of
F100 rancs for elementary
schocls The cat's mistress, who died
in 1802, left the money for the maine
tenance of her pet cat, with the rever-
gion at its death to the district mu-
nicipality if it would look after the cat.
It speaks well for the honesty of the
tristees that the cat, which is now
dead at the age of 18 years, should
baye survived its mistress five years.
