INFANTS FooD--WHAT A BABY
CosTs A YEAR.-When it is necessary
to feed infants artifcially, and cows
milk is used, it should be first boiled,
then skinned, then sweetened a little
with sugar, and next little salt added,
not enough to give it saltish taste ;
milk thus prepared will not only prevent
the indigestion and consequent acidity,
hatulence, cholic, diarrh9a, &C., from
which sucking children suffer so much,
but it will actually cure them.
A hearty infant will swallow, during
the first year of its life fourteen hun
dred pounds Of milk, in which are twen-
ty-one pounds of cheese, thirty pounds
of butter, and one hundred and twelve
pounds of sugar. At six cents quart,
with the necessary sweetening, each
"dear" little creature costs for food
alone, fifty dollars for the first year.

mako even devils tremble. Overhead
the sentimental stars kept their tireless

WHY THERE ARE MORE PIoUs Wo-
MEN THAN MEN.-The reason there are
more pious women than men is not be-
cause women are weaker or their passions
less powerful, but because feeling Of
dependence is native in the female heart.
1t is because the pride Of independence
has little or no place there. 1t is be
cause the female mind has to undergo
comparatively small revolution to be-
come religious. One powerful barrier
that stands before the path of every
man in his approach to the valley of
humiliation does not oppose the passage
Of the true women. 1t is very rare
that those who are denominated "strong
minded women" become religious. The
pride of personal independence prevents
this.
So sweet and so natural thing is
piety among women that men have come
10 regard women without it as strange,
if not unhealthy, and goddess men often
select pious wives because they see that
piety softens and deepens and elevates
every natural grace of person, and every
accomplishment Of mind.

UsEFUL.-We copy the following
useful item from the Spirit Of the
Times:
10 LOAD A GUN PRopERLY.-The
following is the rule to be observed -
Try it repeatedly with charges, consist
ing of equal bulks Of powder and shot,
till you come to quantity with which
the gun will not recoil or but slightly.
This will give you the proper quantity
Of shot. With this load, however, the
gun will scatter in all directions.
TO correct this, reduce the quantity of
powder until you find that the shot is
carried as close as yeu desire. A gun
loaded we'll thus will never burst. To
make it carry farther use shot of a
larger size. No gun should be fired
more than twenty times without being
wiped out. When in the field, it will
be much safer to carry the piece always
half cock.

TO CURE THE BoTs.-When your
horse has the Bots, first give him some
sage tea. Boil the sage in quart Of
milk, and sweeten with molasses. Half
an hour after drench your horse with a
two ounce vial Of laudanum in three
quarters of an hour after, drench with
three fourths Of a pound Of salts, and
your horse will be we'll in three hours,
or as soon as the salts operate. The
tea will make the bots let loose, the
laudanum will put them to sleep, and
the salts will cause them to pass from
your horse. | warrant the cure on fair
trial.

doubt, to inquire it is the highest at
tribute Of limited intelligence. God
