"Babies uever get seasick. 1 have carried thousands of them in my time," said an American line steward, accord ing to the Philadelphia Record, "and in rough weather I have seen their fa thers, mothers, brothers and sisters keel over like soldiers before a cannon ball; but not so with tbe babies. Whether it be rough or smooth at sea, a baby Is always an excellent aallor rosy, jolly and with the appe tite of a borse. Do you know the ex planation of tbla singular fact? It la aa aimnle aa tbe fact is strange, na- Mas don't orpt seasick because they are accustomed to the rocking of tne era' die. That movement is much like the rocklneyof a ship. A baby aboard ship, thm-nfore lanerelv a babv in an un usually big cradle, and there Is nothing odd to him about the rocking, ror it is what he has been accustomed to all his life."
