The news from Ireland indicate that the
people are determined to make another eff
fort TO overthrow the system of landed pro-
prietorship existing in that country. Land
Leagues have been formed in nearly all
parts Of the country, and the utmost hostil-
ity exists against the land owners which
finds expression in acts of violence. These

Diseases of Children.
THE Family Physician.l

There is no more valuable indication of
disease than the temperature of the body.
We do not mean the apparent tempeca-
ture az tested BY the hand but the actual
temperature as measured with a thermome-
ter. A child's pulse may be exceedingly
quick, its face may look flushed, and its skin
feel hot, and this may all be due to excite
rhent and after "a nights rest the symptoms
which caused the alarm may have disap-
peared. If, however, we find the temper
ture of the body raised, we know, at least,
that the child requires careful watching
until the temperature gets down again. 1t
is not easy to say at once TO what the rise of
temperature is due. 1t may be caused by
indigestion or a passing cold, or infamma-
ton of the lungs or bronchitis; or one of
the children's fevers-as measles, scarlet
fever, etc.-may be coming on; but as
long as the temperature is raised we
may expect anything. The great advantage
of taking the temperature is that 1t gives us
early information of disease, and we are often
able to separate child from its fellows be-
fore it has been able to infect the others.
We should strongly advise the mothers of
families and others who have the care of
children to buy "chnical thermometer"
which may be got from any surgical instru-
menJ maker, ana learn 10 TAKE Jelnperd-
ture. The proper temperature of the body
is 9S.4o Fahrenheit, and anything over 990
Fahrenheit must be looked upon as fever.
From 500 to 1929 we should call slight fever;
from 1929 to 1862 severe fever; and anything
over 1862 Fahrenheit very severe fever. A
temperature is best taken by placing the
thermometer in the armpit or the mouth
(if the child is old enough) and allowing it
to remain for two or three minutes Let us
suppose that child is 'out of Sorts" We
take its temperature and find it natural we
know that there is nothing serious the matter,
and that it will probably be well in a few
hours If, however, we find the temperature
raised, we must be prepared for the advent
of something serious, and must not treat the
case lightly. We have often seen the tenn
perature raised by very slight things, such
as an indigestible meal; and, in fact, nothing
shows the impressionability of childhood so
much as the manner in which the tempera-
ture. rises at slight causes; but nevertheless,
we have often been able to get four and ~
hours ahead of disease, as it were, because
the thermometer has forewarned US of the i'm
pending storm.

She Was Too Practical.
New Haven Register

He was of scientific turn, she of a senti-
mental cast. "You see, Amelia the law of
gravitation keeps the earth just so far from
the sun all the time, and the centrifugal force
of the centripetal motion, or something of
that sort makes it revolve."
"Dear me, john" said she, Sis that so?
thought twas love that made the world go
round"
"Well, yes, 1 suppose it does; but not IN a
technical sense
81 don't want any technical sense. Ifyou
can't talk sentimental nonsense, you can 60
calling on some girl that reads the maya
zines and knows all about science, so there"
and it took half an hour of his best endeavor
to place himself back in the same spot in her
affections that he was before the scientific
discussion began.

hung upon it q sign reading: "Don't annoy
the baboon. A great many people looked
into the box and were annoyed by boots and
yells, and the inventor Of the sell was waxing
fat, when along came six-foot farmer with
his weather eye open for living curiosities
When he saw the box and the sign he hitched
his team and made an inspection. There
was no baboon in the box. No, sir; there
wasn't even the faintest trace of one. The
young man was leaning against the fence
and laughing his sides sore, when the farmer
approached and asked:
"Did you have any baboon in that box"
"No, of course not"
"Then why that sign? If there is no 6a-
boon there how can he be annoyed? I'd
lick a man who'd annoy a baboon of mine"
"Why, it's only SELL" explained the
young man.
Whats a SELF"
"Why to-day is April-fool day."
Never heard of any such day in my life
Young man, don't you dare lie to mel can
take joke as well as the next man, but
can't be babooned to-day or any other day.
Where's that animal?'
"Never had any,"
"Never had baboon in the box, yet you
hang out a sign that people mustn't poke
him up and annoy him! Boy that's false
pretensesw
"But can't you take joke?''
"A joke? Where is the joke in forbid
ding us to annoy the baboon when there isn't
baboon within thousand miles of us2
Other folks may not resent it, but can't be
imposed on without a rumpusw
He hauled the box down, kicked off the
Stats, and then he picked up the young man,
turned him end for end, twisted him up, and
iammed him into the baboon box. 1t was an
awful close fit, and there was heap of
kicking. but the baboon got there all the
same, and after the farmer had driven away
they had to pull the box apart to get the
living curiosity out.

A Trick and Its Result.

A lad, for trick, pointed with his finger
to the wrong road when a man asked him
which way the doctor went. AS result,
the man missed the doctor, and his little boy
died, because the doctor came too late to take
a fsh-bone from his throat. AT the funeral,
the minister said that ''the boy was killed by
a lie, which another boy told with his finger"
Probably the lad did not know the mischief
he had wrought. Ofcourse he never meant
to kill the boy when he pointed the wrong
way He only wanted to have little fun,
but it was fun that cost somebody great
deal. We ought never to trife with the
truth.

The Little Folks.
mill DrI.1


A never failing source of amusement to
the little folks of all ages, is the making of
scrap books. The materials are almost al
ways on hand. Volumes of patent office
reports, or even small pamphlets, which have
become useless lumber in so many houses,
can be made use of in this way Cut out as
many leaves as seem necessary, perhaps
every other one, and you have foundation.
Provide the little ones with pair of blunt
pointed scissors and let them cut out and trim
neatly the pictures from papers you do not
care to preserve, circulars of farm machinery,
or anything they fancy, and then, armed
with a cup of boiled starch and an old tooth
brush if you have one), let them exercise
their Ingenuity in filling the book with their
collections.
Quite small children find enchantment in
this kind of work. A large picture may be
put in the center of the page, and the space
around it filed with small ones, or short
pieces of prose or poetry. l have seen very
pretty ornaments for these juvenile scrap
BOOKS cut out of the illustrated books for
children, which had become badly tattered
with use so that the pictures We're oil oil : .iiat
was worth preserving. When two pages are
full the book should be left open until dry
before going on. This amusement need not
make much litter about the house. and the
little workers can easily learn to pick up the
scattering scraps after themselves, and wash
up the starch cup and brush after using it, so
that it will be ready for the next rainy day.
