An Australian mother will coddle her baby with ape-like
fondness, and hardly ever let it stray out of sight for the
first four years; but as soon as the toddling little imp seems
able to take care of itself, its debt of gratitude to its
progenitors has to be paid by the worst kind of slavery. At the
first sign of insubordination a half-grown boy is apt to be
kicked out, if not killed, by his own father. (Text.)--FELIX
OSWALD, _Good Health_.
