Rice water, barley water, oat meal water,
with lemon and sugar, should be ready in
every house where children are. These
drinks are surely better than cold tea, which
is often given, or doubtful milk However,
milk is better than anything, when it is

aWhat are the noblest gifts which noble
women can bestow upon men? an exchange
asks. Lord Beaconsfeld declares that all
his successes gave him full satisfaction
only in SO far as he could lay his laurels at
the feet of his wife. Women themselves
are rarely aware of the supreme charm which
they exert, not only upon the imagination
and sentiment of men, but also upon their
intellectual talents and their reason. Schel-
ling, perhaps the most inspired writer in
Germany, began to write when he saw his
wife; when she died he ceased to be an

1t will surprise many to learn that rice
has nutritious percentage of SO, while beef
has but 26. Still civilized man will adhere
to the latter with the idea that it has the
most nourishment. The difference between

tlannels, etc., they should be washed ana
shaken in order to get rid of any moths.
The Chicago Tribune gives the follow

detect the presence Of glucose in sugar:
Take a handful of the mixture and drop it
into o glass of cold water. Stir it few
minutes, until you can notice that the cane
sugar is entirely dissolved, leaving the grape
sugar undissolved in the bottom of the
glass, in the form of white sticky sub
stance not at all unlike starch in its looks,
and quite bitter to the taste. It won't do to
use hot water in your test, however, for if
you do the whole thing will dissolve.

Lucy Stone says: The waste of time,
the waste of strength, and the waste of
health which women accept on account of
health is appalling. The shoes Of women
have pegs for heels, half way under the
foot, of which they walk with a lettering,
hobbling gait, like Chinese women. Fr1lls,

and founces, supposed to be ornamental,
