The three requisites for babies are
plenty Of sleep, plenty of food,
plenty of flannel. The saying that
man is a bundle Of habits is as true
Of babies as it isof grown children.
If an infant is accustomed from its
birth to sleep from 6 o'clock at
night till daylight, the habit of
early sleep will be formed, and the
mother may have her evenings to
herself. If the baby sleeps all
night, a long morning nap will nat
urally come about dinner time, after
which the child, except when very
young, should be kept awake until
6 o'clock. Perseverance in this rou-
tine will result in securing quiet
evenings for both child and parent.
Some mothers have a long season
every morning and every night in
getting the baby asleep. They rock
them and sing to them until Nor
pheus enfOlds them. With most
children this is entirely unneces
sary. An infant can be accustomed.
by a few days training, to go tC
sleep itself for a morning nap, al
well as for the longer rest at night
| A mother has duties to herself al
we'll as to her offspring. While
she should exercise a constant carr
in securing its utmost physica
comfort, she should secure rest anC
recreation for herself. In no othel
way can she keep fresh in feeling
buoyant in spirit. Nothing is s.
wearing as the unceasing tendins
of fretful baby. Every means
should be employed to aid the chile
in taking care Of itself, and giving
as little trouble as possible. Itma,
learn in babyhood to amuse itsel
with toys, or by watching move
ments going on around it. Fashion
as we'll as good sense, requires in
fants' dresses to be made with Ions
sleeves and high in the neck. Fash
ion requires children of all ages Il
be warmly clad. Soft flannel should
encase the whole body except tn,
head and hands. The frequen
cause Of colo in infants is thu
nakedness of their neck and arms
Regularity in feeding is as impor
tant as either of the other requi
sites. Babies cry as often from
being overfed, or fed too frequently
as from hunger. Let the mothe
obey the dictates of common sens
| in this matter, and not force foo(
into a baby's stomach for every lit
tie complaint it makes. Childrel
three or four years old need mucl
more sleep than they usqally y have
For irritable and nervous children
sleep is o specific, and it can be SO
cured to Them only by force o
habit. Many light forms Of diseas
may be cured by keeping a child j
a uniform temperature, and j.
j quiet. Let young mothers expert
ment ON these suggestions, and W
are sure they will have many a
hour in the nursery for reading an
Thought.

The term protoplasm, from first
and form, is, says Prof. Hackel,
applied to the supposed original
substance from which all living
beings are developed, and which is
the universal concomitant of every
phenomenon of life. All that is
comprehended for bfevity under
the term life, whether the growth
of plants, the fight Of birds, or a
train of human thought, is thus
supposed to be caused by corporeal
organs which either themselves
consist of protoplasm, or have been
developed out oft, Wherever nu-
triton and propagation, motion
and sensation exist, there is, as
their material basis, this substance
designated in o general sense as
protoplasm. The proof of it is
held to be furnished by the proto-
zoans called moners, the whole
completely developed body Of which
consists solely of protoplasm. They
are not only the simplest organ
isms with which we are acquainted,
but also the simplest living beings
we can conceive of as capable of
existingj and though their entire
body is but-a single, formless,
small lump Of protoplasm, and
leach molecule of it being like the
other) without any combination Of
parts, yet they perform all the
| functions which in their entirety
constitute in the most highly or
ganized animals and plants what is
compreheaaed in the idea Of life,
namely, sensation and motion, nu-
| triton and propagation.

Anybody would know Victor
Emanuel from his photographs,
which are so abundant on both
sides of the sea. He is, you know,
the opposite Of handsome. There
is something satyr-like in the feat
ures of his face, and yet it is not
in the least repulsive. Though
course, it is strong and virile. His
nose, broad, short and turned up, is
extremely ugly; his mouth is very
large, and his jaw animalish in its
heaviness. There is a good deal Of
the bulldog in his yisage, but not
much in his character beyond
courage and adhesiveness of pur-
pose. His eyes, his goatee, his
mustache (Which is enormous) and
his hair are jet black, not a silver
thread being visible anywhere. If
his hair was curly he might easily
be mistaken for a mulatto, since
his complexion is as dark as that Of
a Malay. He is fully six feet high,
very d-shouldered, thick-chest-
ed and muscular-quite the sort Of
man one would picture for a soldier
"a soldier who, unlike the Athe-
nian youths of old, would not fly
from battle for fear of having his
beauty marred.

There have been many ludicrous
stories told about etiquette, but the
following which Mr.. Conway tells
of the English Court surpasses
most of them eft is considered
indispensable that ladies introduced
at Court or received there shall
wear very low-bodied dresses. Just
before the last drawing-room, Lady
-, wife Of a distinguished noble
man wrote to the Lord Chamber
lainy saying that she had recently
been i'll and her shoulder had be-
come so thin that she was ashamed
to show them! The Chamberlain,
knowing how strict the Queen was,
referred the matter to her, and a
grand consultation was held. After
a long and serious debate, the Lord
Chamberlain was instructed to
write to the petitioning lady that
Her Majesty would for once give
her consent to the innovation, but
it was intimated that the dress must
be a compromise, that is cut down
in front. The Court papers re-
ferred vaguely to this exception to
the rules of court dress, stating
that was by Her Majesty's gracious
and special concession, in order
that it might not become a pre-
oedent

To have had reasonable chance for
success, the substitution of token coin
for shinplasters should have been
made as rapidly as possible. Being
doled out at the rate of few thous-
and q day, the coin sink into the
pockets Of people who desire to hear
them jingle. 1t will take some mill
ions to supply pocket pieces for the
big crowd to whom silver coin is a
curiosity, and the timid who fear that
II they do not lay aside a few speci-
mems they will not soon have another
chance. A rapid disbursement of the
coin would not only supply pocket
pieces, but convince the doubling
that silver has come to stay. The
passage of the House bill, now bar
red by by the objection of rag-money
Kelley, would probably relieve the
famine and set the coin flowing
through the channels Of trade. With
out a more rapid disbursement there
is danger that the whole scheme will
fall through.

The autopsy on the body of Rub
enstein, the New York murderer, who
lately cheated the gallows by dying
in his cell, showed that he had actu-
ally died of starvation. The remains
weighed but forty-ive pounds, and
not a particle of food was found in
the body. This led to an examina-
ton of the sewer pipe, when it was
discovered that he had through that
channel disposed of the meals which
1t was supposed he had eaten. Medi-
cal men are much interested in the
case, as many physicians have held it
to be impossible for a person to die
of starvation with food within his
reach.
