How to Treat the Little Ones.

The baby's night gown should be
white flannel. The red flannel many
mothers fancy may poison it's skin. The
old time red dyes were we'll enough,
but the present reds are all poisonous
and should not be worn next to the skin
by either old or yonng. They are par
ticularly mischievous to tho delicate
skin Of our young people. All OF the
modern dyes are poisonous. II there
are any exceptions have not been able
to learn the fact, although have taken
pains to question those who are engaged
in the dyeing business. The Titles ones
should have white flannel next their
skins day and night. It is the only
proper material to place next the skins
of any human being day or night, no
matter in what climate or at what season
of the year.
Perhaps ought to add that the su-
periority of flannel is greater during
the Summer than during the winter. In
the hottest weather single thickness
OF flannel for night-gown will give the
baby abundant protection, whereas If it
wears cotton next the skin it is soon wet
with perspiration and then there must
be two or three more thicknesses over it
to furnish the protection against q
breeze which single thickness Of fan
mel next the skin could afford. Oar
little perple should have their night
dresses made with drawers closed at
the bottom. With this dress and lying
upon a fresh straw pillow. with the
same for'the little head, and sleeping in
little room, the small shaver will have
chance, even in the hottest season, to
not only sleep sweetly, but to grow.
Besides these and other considerations
which will not name, the wooden dress
serves, by its mechanical irritation. to
keep up better circulation in the skin.

How to Advertise.

A writer il the New York Evening
Mail on the science of .advsrtisins says
!" As the object Of adyertisinsia-te-i
form the greatest number of eeple u
the most elective M nner, this end IS
best attained by announcements in thD
columns of the pres: 8. There are other
methods of advertising, and novel ideas
spring up every day, but such are for
the moment only; ana tho experience Of
all first-class and successful houses in
duces them to do their advertising in
the newspapers, and there alone. Next
comes the question as to what is the
best method of securing the attention
of newspaper readers. 1t is very simple
and consists in continuous advertising.
The retail merchants err when they in
sert large advertisement for one time
only, permitting weeks to pass, before
the order is repeated. Such fltful, spas
modic announcements doubtless pro-
duce q certain effect, but it is the steady,
constant advertiser who prospers in'tLe
end. The best way is to advertise lii
orally and continuously, and all who
have sufficient courage and capital to in
vest without stint have found them
selves rewarded even beyond their ex
pectations. The secret of success lies in
uninterrupted advertising on a small
scale, varied by occasional spreads on
suitable occasions. Every paper has its
reoular readers and the continued al
vertisement familiarizes them with the
name and object of the firm. M oreover,
the interests of firm and paper become
united; the reader, who buys the paper
because he likes it, looks at the title Of
the house day after day, and in time
comes to like the name. When an extra

How to Secure Healthy Ventilation.
