THE BABIES THAT LIVE IN A BALL. 
Isn't that a droll place to live ? — And the ball not so big as a 
croquet ball, and six or eight, or more, little pink mouse babies 
inside ! 
Of course they're not so big as the baby at your house. In 
fact the mother herself weighs only one sixth of an ounce, and isn't 
half so big as the little brown mouse you sometimes see, scudding 
behind a box in the pantry, or scampering over the floor in the 
attic.
