How to Care for Infants

| In view of the increased mortality
among infants, the New York board of
health have issued the following rules
for the care of infants, which are to be
distributed In circular form among the
tenement house population:
Nursing of infants Over-feeding does
more harm than anything else. Nurse
an infant month or two old every two
or three hours. Nurse An infant six
months and over five times in twenty
four hours. and no more. If an infant
is thirsty give it pure water or barley
water, no sugar. On the hottest day
few drops of whisky may be added to
either water or food, the whisky not to
exceed a teaspoonful in twenty-four
| hours.
Feeding of Infants-Boil teaspoon
full of powdered barley ground in cof-
fee grinder and"a gill of water, with
little salt, for fifteen minutes; strain;
then mix it with half as much boiled
milk, add lump of white sugar size of
walnut, and give it lukewarm from the
nursing bottle. Keep bottle and mouth
| piece i'll bowl of water when not in use,
to which a little soda may be added.
| For infants 5 or 6 months old, give half
barley water and half boiled milk, with
salt and lump of sugar For older
infants, give more milk than barley
water. For infants very costive, give
oatmeal instead of barley. Cook aud
strain as before. When YOUR breast
milk is only half enough, change off be-
tween breast milk and this prepared
food. In hot weather, if blue htimus
paper applied to the food turns red, the
food is too acid, and you must make q
fresh mess or add a small piece of baking
soda. Infants of 6 months may have
beef tea or beef soup once day, by it
self or mixed with other food; and when
10 or II months old a crust of bread
and a piece of rare beef to suck. No
child under 2 years ought to eat at your
table. Give no candies, in fact, nothing
that Is not contained i'll these rules, with
out doctors orders.
Summer Complaint--It comes from
overlooking and hot and foul air. Keep
doors and windows open. Wash your
well children with cold water twice day
or even oftener in the hot season. Never
neglect looseness of the bowels in an in
FAINT; consult the family or dispensary
physician at once, and he will give YOU
rules about what it should take and how
it should be nursed. Keep your rooms
cool and well-ventilated, and do not
allow any bad smells to come from sinks.
privies, garbage-boxes or cutters about
the house in which you live. See that
your own apartments are right, and
complain to the board of health if the
neighborhood is offensive. When an in
FAINT is cross and irritable trip on the
water will do it a great deal of good,
ferryboat or steamboat and may pre-
vent cholera infantum.

Birds Nest i'm a Pulpit.

ttrom the London Field
At Murren, in the Bernese Oberland,
Switzerland. where there is now very
picturesque and well-appointed English
church, the services of the present sea-
son commenced on the first Sunday after
Trinity. The Rev. r. z. Bent, Chap
lain pro tenn, writes that on going into
the church on his arrival on Saturday,
the 18th inst, he found that a pair of
redstarts had built their nest on the
book-ledge underneath the prayer-desk
used also as the pulpit on one side of
the chancel, and were then rearing a
brood of four young ones. 1t seemed. he
says, an almost literal fulfillment of the
words of the psalmist in Psalm, lxxxiv.
B, for the nest is but few feet from the
altar. He adds that the very pretty
nest, every particle of which must have
been carried into the church by the
parent birds, has become an object of
great interest to both residents and
visitory, and that the little fiedglings OF
the sanctuary will probably have flown
before the second Sunday of the services.

STATISTICS laid before the congress of brew
ers which recently met at Versailles show that
there are in Europe about 10000 breweries
which produce annually nearly 1880, OOO, 600
gallons Of malt liquor. Great Britain alone
produces third of the entire quantity, or to be
exact 7S5,017,002 gallons. Prussia comes next
with 318,579,998 gallons; Bavaria, 200, ISL, OO2
gallons; Austria, 245,975, 1853 gallons; and
France, 155, $4,000 gallons. 1t will thus be
seen that the Teutonic nations are eminently
the beer producers, as they are also the princi-
pal beer drinkers; where wine is to be had
nesrly as cheaply as beer, the malt liquor is not
preferred. The proportion in which beer is
consumed varies very much. Bavaria heads
the list with fifty-four gallons per head
per annum, or rather over one gallon a
week. Belgium is next with thirty gallons,
and England is about the same-namely;
Twenty-Five gallons, or, roundy speaking,
something over half gallon per head per
week. In Germany, excluding Bavaria, the
average consumption is nineteen gallons. and
from this great drop follows, to nine gallons
IN Scotland and eight and half in Ireland,
where whisky is preferred. Austria consumes
only six gallons of beer per head and France
only four.

THAT there is coal of inexhaustible and I'M

rltory is now sufficiently evident, and that its
qualities are extremely varied is known to those
who have made but the most trifing investiga-

eastern shore of the sound, from the Canadian
lines on the north to the Columbia River on the
south, the principal development being in the
nelghborhood of the city of Seattle. Mines
have been opened at several other places, and
also at point on the Straits of Fuca, on the
western shore, while coal has been discovered

points on both shores

An Irish Sunset
(From the Nineteenth Century. !

FROM the nineteenth Century.
Not one of the charms of our own
little Killarney is its position with regard
to the sunset. Facing as it does nearly
due west, with a short incline to the
north, the effect, at least from the south
ern bank, is as if the mountains to right
and left were simply so many frames or
bastions set there specially with a view
to enhance its splendors. Here, night
after night, for several consecutive sum-
mers, show-nay, rather a succession
of shows-used to be set out for our
delectation. Literally, night after night,
for 1t is remarkable, and, moreover, an
extremely exasperating fact, that in Con-
nemara, as throughout the west of Ire
land, the sunset appears to bear uncom-
monty little reference to the weather
which has either preceded or is about to
follow it. Ali day, perhaps, it has rained
necessarily, pitilessly-not break in
the clouds, not momentary intermis-
sion of the unrelenting down-pour.
Suddenly, about half an hour before
sunset, the scene changes. The clouds
draw back aud begin to dispose them
selves more becomingly to right and
left; deep blue spaces appear in the up
per sky, pallng into green, and passing
gradually into all the reds and yellows
of sunset. Alter the sun has gone, long
level lines of crimson appear above the
horizon. Later moon rises, clear and
serene, as in a world from which all
storm and rain have vanished forever.
You go to bed remarking cheerfully that
the weather at last seems to have come
to Its senses, and next morning to spring
up, full of hope, to find-that it is rain
ing harder than ever; that the whole
landscape is blurred and blotted with
mists; that at least two new leaks have
sprung in the roof, and that all chance
of settled weather seem good deal fur

Three Comets.

The announcement is made from the naval
observatory at Washington, that there are
three comets now visible. Encke's comet is the
latest arrival and is visible by the telescope
about half past two o'clock in the morning a
little north of the pleaides. At times it is visi-
BILE to the naked eye, and by about the middle
of October it is expected to be plainly visible.
Comet sc" is becoming brighter, and were it
not so near the horizon, astronomers think il
would be visible to the naked eve. The old
comet "B is fast travelling south.

In some parts of New York the time of one
servant is pretty well occupied in answering the
door-bell for peddlers, beggars and rag -buyers.
In vain are ragmen requested never to call
again. They impndently answer that they are
upon their own business, aud that they will
ring as frequently as they please. Men and
women with door-mats, busters and buttons,
when told that they need never again call with
their wares, will return in half an hour to see
whether the people of the house have not
changed their minds

BERMUDA is esteemed by it's inhabitants as
the Madeira of America. The chief products of
the islands are arrowroot, onions, potatoes and
tomatoes, nine tenths of which go to the United
States. The total value of the cropsl reported
amount to about $780, 900 annually. As there
are less than 1900 acres of land under cultiva-
ton this return is undeniably great, and shows
shows the wonderful fertility of the soil. A
lack of public spirit is characteristic of the in
habitants of Bermuda islands, and prevents
them from holding the position their natural
resources should command for them.
