"Our difficulties are such as these--that America has

    instituted a vast system of prohibitive tariffs, mainly,

    I believe, because ... American pigs do not receive proper

    treatment at the hands of Europe.... If we have any difficulty

    with our good neighbours in France, it is because of

    that unintelligent animal the lobster; and if we have any

    difficulty with our good neighbours in America, it is because

    of that not very much nobler animal, the seal."--_Lord

    Salisbury at the Mansion House_.]

A very true point on the real diamonds and the false ones.  Their appearance and their real facts.

What is true of alcohol is equally true of other potent drugs and poisons,

which should all be avoided so far as possible during pregnancy because of

the harmful influence they may directly exert on the embryo. Hygiene is

better than drugs, and care should be exercised in diet, which should by

no means be excessive. It is a mistake to suppose that the pregnant woman

needs considerably more food than usual, and there is much reason to

believe not only that a rich meat diet tends to cause sterility but that

"Books cannot teach what toys inculcate."

"Don't!" in some households.
Don't get in the fire, don't play in the water, don't tease the kitty,
don't trouble the doggy, don't bother the lady, don't interrupt, don't
contradict, don't fidget with your brother, and _don't_ worry me
now; while perhaps in this whole tirade, not a word has been said of
something to do.
