BABIES IN MIDSUMMER.

1t is pretty big job to pilot baby
through summers campaign. \ prom
inent Cincinnati physician being inter
viewed the other day expressed the opin-
ion that baby should never be given
milk save from the breast Of its mother,
Or, of it's foster mother. Swill is the
staple cow feed around Cincinnati. He
stated that so many of the diary cows
nowadays are consumptive or otherwise
diseased that in the first place their milk
even if undulterated, is poisonous. Again
lie said that the cows milk is jolted for
hours in hot weather before it is deliver
ed to consumers, and thus is literally
churned. Thus it is emiuently unfit for
the use of infants. The conduct of moth
ers who nurse their children from the
breast was also referred to. Frequently
it is the case that mothers become over
heated and wrought up over the washtub
and other household duties and their
milk is then unfit to drink y baby's
stomach is irritable and tender. Over
loaded with milk and it becomes a source
Of pain Just as cinder does when it flies
into PERSONS eye. Remove the cinder
and relief follows. The baby throws up
the milk and the pain ceases, unless it be
hot weather, when it goes off through
the bowels and sickness results. So it is
with solid food, only in more pronoun-
ed degree. Therefore solid food should
not be given an infant until it is able to
masticate its food. Especially starch
food, such as potatoes, etc, should be
avoided.
One great mistake mothers make is to
suckle their children every time they cry.
That is not right. They ought not to
give them the breast oftener than once
in two hours at first, and this interval
ought to be heightened to three hours at
ter awhile During the night they should
not sucklc them more than once. The
proper thing to do is to give them drink
Of water. The little things are oftener
thirsty than hungry. The doctor said
that ice should be given the little ones in
abundance while they are teething. 1t
relieves and cools the hot intiamed gums.
and the baby does not swallow enough
ice water to hurt it, because it wastes the
greater part of it.
The use of hannels ON babies all
through the summer was animadverted
upon severely. The doctor said children
should be clad to suit the weather. Such
temperature as part of last week has
but in very warm weather the infants
ought to he allowed about one garment.

A HAPPY THOUGHT

An intimate friend Of the late Rev. DR..
j. L. Wakeley tells an amusing auecdoie
of him, us follows:
The doctor was most inimitable de-
liueator and fond of a good story. Ike
related to me. with great glee, how he
eXtricatcd himself once from most awk-
ward dilemma. Preaching in a Hudson
river town on Il warm summer afternoon
to a congregation of farmers mainly,
from the text, IF any man draw back,
my soul hath no pleasure in him, he m
advcrtently observed, My brethren,

awake looked up at him, and showed by
their interest that the minister had never
seen two old rams trying to butt each
others brains out. The doctor disceS-
cred his mistake rs soon as they did, but
not seeing his way out of it. he repeated
Those of his audience who We're awake

sadly puzzled. He vcntured, with still

REPRODUCTION OF BONE.

The question of the saving of dis
eaSed or wounded limb has for the
general public great interest. IN inter
esting case, which promises new de-
parture in conservative surgery. has
just been published in the transactions
of the Medical Society of New York for
1880 The case was under the care of
DIR. George +. Shrady, surgeons to the
Presbyterian and the st. Francis Hos
pitfalls, New York. The patient was a
newsbcy fifteen years old, suffering from
acute general periosities of the numerous
of the left arm caused by an injury and
subsequent exposure to cold. His arm,
forearm, and hand were greatly swollen:
iluctuaton existed throughout the entire
eXteut OF the arm, and it was feared that
the tissues would be transformed into a
large abscess. His general condition was
also bad. For two weeks the patient
was supported by the most nourishing
diet, and the arm itself received every
attention. 1t was evident. however, that
the greater part, if not the whole, of the
arm bone was dead, and that the general
condition of the patient was most unfav-
orable,
Notwithstanding these untoward cir
cumstances, it was decided to perform an
operation for the removal of the arm
bone Ether was therefore administered
to the patient, and the operation was
rapidly performed. The entire bone of
the arm was found to be diseased and
had to be removed, but fortunately its
covering, the periosteum, was left almost
entire. Within forty eight hours after
the operation the patient was out of
danger and made good recovery. The
growth of the bone is well known to take
place from the perIosteum, and in this
case, it having been carefully saved, the
deposit of new bone occurred through
out. In six months after the operation
the bone had become so strong that the
arm was found to he almost as useful as
ever. In the history of bone reproduce
ton, which includes the opinions of emf
nent living surgeons, a parallel to this
case does not exist

Pleasant Lives.

Some men move through life as n
band of music moves down the street,
flinging out pleasure ON every side
through the air to every one far and
near that can listen. Some men fill
the air with their presence and sweetness
as orchards in summer days fill the air
with the perfume of ripe fruits. Somc
women cling to their own houses like
the honeysuekle over the door, yet, like
it sweeten all the region with the subtle
fragrance of their goodness they are
like trees Of righteousness which are
ever dropping precious fruit around
them. There are lives that shine like
sunbeams, or charm the heart like songs
on holy day How great bounty
and blessing it is to hold the royal gifts
of the soul so that they shall be music
to so some, fragrance to others and life
to all.
1t would be no unworthy thing to
live for, to make the power which we
have within US the breath of other
mems joys, to scatter sunshine where
only clouds and shadows reign, to fill
the atmosphere where earth's weary
toilers must stand with a brightness
which they cannot create for themselves
and which tkey long for to enjoy and
appreciate.

rate the finding of it and the peculiar ar
rangements made for its preservation and
protection. The third degree, that of
Novice and knight of St. John the Evan
geIist, had its origin IS follows: The Cru
saders, finding themselves unable to expel
the SaraceDs from the Holy Land, agreed
with Godfrey de Bouiliion to veil the mys-
teries of religion under emblems to main
tain their devotions in secret and secure
themselves against the intrusion of traitors
or pretended friends. Those who had at
tanned this degree were considered the true
Masons, as they only received it after war
fare with the enemies of the faith and were
admitted in fun communion with the
brotherhood. The moral qualification and
social position of candidates are insisted
upon. This order was incorporated with the
Masonic Orders of Knighthood in France
and Germany in the middle of the last GEN.
tnry. Previous to that time it had been
sovereign military order; and it still exists
in modified form as such an order in
Austria. Frederick the Great gave it
Masonic Importance in Germany, and the
princes of the house of Guelph have pre-
tected it in Great Britain.

The Microscope.

Nothing amuses the children more
than a microscope. A good one costs
anywhere from fifty to a hundred dol
lars Do without a parlor carpet and
buy one. Or a sealskinjaeket. The boy
or girl who has passion for "bugs," or
for botanizing, or for the study of geol-
ogy, or for dissecting animals from
mouse to a,rabbit, ,swill hardly 60 astray,
or find home stupid, if the passion is
appreciated and not frowned upon.
Again, it is extremely useful in other
ways. Suppose, for example, that the
lady of the house wishes to know wheth-
er the piece Of silk she has set her heart
upon is all silk, or a mixture with cot
ton, jute, or China grass, and if all silk,
whether it has been loaded with dye and
dressing. The microscope viii set her
mind at rest. Take a pattern Of the
silk, unravel the warp and weft, and
examine it under the quarter-inch OBJ
iective, and you will, at any rate, see
whether all the little fibres, Of which
the weft and warp are comprised, look
alike. That, Of course, will not tell you
whether the material is silk but if you
procure q piece Of known silk, good,
raw silk, and study its appearance, and
compare it with the suspected specimen,
Won will come to q sound conclusion
very soon. Study the peculiarities Of
hair or wool, and you viii soon be able
% tell whether your cont or cloak Is All
wool or not.

A Singular Revenge.


London Graphic
Prince Bismarek's traditional three
single hairs as the sole ornaments of his
massive head, have long been a favorite
subject Of carricature with the Berlin
comic journals, but the chancellor may
now recognize this characteristic Of his
appearance depicted in stone over sever-
al windows in Potsdam. The owner of
these houses, according to the American
Register, is,a rich capitalist who has
worked his way up from simple mason
with only one disaster in his life-the
loss of his only son in the Franco Prus-
sian war. He regards Prince Bismarck
as the author of the war, and, therefore,
as his sons murderer, and SO adopts u
somewhat singular method Of reveng-
ing himself upon his enemy. Over the
grave of his son i'll the Potsdam ceme-
terry he has erected splendid mauso-
leum, surmOunted by an owl with the
face of Prince Bismarck, three hairs and
all. On one of his houses the Bismarck
head looks over the cornice of each win
dow, with the three hairs represented
by small cannon. On another building,
similarly adorned, three serpents take
the place of the heirs while a third
house is now being built, and the capi-
talist's neighbors are eager to see what
fresh fattering ornament will be be-
slowed on the princes head.

Woman Suffrage in Oregon.

Oregon is falling into line on the
question of woman suffrage. The Leg
islature of the State began the battle
two years ago by passing a resolu-
ton to amend the constitution so as to
allow women to vote. The present
General Assembly has just ratified its
action. The next step will be the sub
mission of the proposition to the people.
IF the amendment shall be adopted,
Oregon will have the honor of being the
first State in the Union to admit woman
to full and equal suffrage in the election
of officers for all the departments of its
government. It may seem surprising
that an experiment of this kind should
be first attempted in region which is
on the skirmish line of civilization but
it should not be forgotten that two
hundred years or so ago an experiment
In government which the world covered
with ridicule was tried on the New Eng
land coast. It may be that Oregon is
the New England of the nineteenth
century.-NeW York Herald.

Decline of Legislative Ability.
PhiIadelphia Times.l

Philadelphia Times
Senator Mitchell in his article in the
North American Review on the subject
of political bosses notes among the many
evils traceable to the spoils system the
decline Of real legislative ability among
Senators and members of Congress.
lime was when men were sought for
these positions, who took an interest in
real, live questions of public pol
icy, and who spent time and
study in examining with consci-
entious care the effect and tendon
cy of various methods of governmental
policy. In its inception the American
Congress was intended to be only leg
islative body, and care was taken, as far
as such care could be taken in the or
ganic law, to throw around its selection
such restrictions and safeguards rs would
be likely to make it a representative
body in the best sense of the term.
That this was the primal object of the
trainers of the constitution there can be
no doubt. That this result was attained
for long term of years is made appa-
rent by the public career of such men
as the Clintons, Pickneys, Calhoun,
Benton, Webster, Clay, Seward, Chase,
Sumner and host of others whose
names throng the memory of every
reader of American history. But
within the last twenty years there has
been a great change in the personnel of
both branches Of Congress and that
change has been wrought in the face of
the most momentous public questions
hat ever engaged the attention of
legislative body-questions that ought to
nave called for and developed the very
highest legislative talent in the country.
That the best talent has not been called
nto public life is patent to the most
,asual observer; the reason for this de-
line in craftsmanship is well worth the
.arnest inquiry of every patriotic citi-
en. Senator Mitchell says it is a result
# the spoils system, and there are
many evidences Of the correctness of
lis theory.
