How to Wash q Baby.
Philadelphia Press


Thirty women listened for thirty min
utes last night in the Franklin institute
to Miss Mary Hobart, who told them
SLOW to wash and dress a baby" The
lecture was illustrated. The illustration
was kindly furnished by n young mother
in the audience. 1t bad a very red face,
very bright eyes, d wee bit Of a nose end
. voice. The lecturer, a fresh-faced
handsome woman, began by explaining
how to wash and dress a newly-born in
FAINT, without drowning it in the basin,
or causing to burst by tight bandaging.
"White CASTLE soap is the proper thing
to wash q baby with" said she, "and
the water should be at u temperature Of
1907. The babe should not be washed a
little at q time. Its head, face and ears
should be attended TO first, and then
the entire body should be immersed in
the water, like this"
The illustration was placed in q deep
basin filled with water and the illustra-
ton manifested its disapprobation by Il
howl. I'm drying the child" continued
Miss Hobart as she lifted the sQnalling
bit Of humanity out of the bath, do net
rub the child much, but pat it carefully
until dry. Rub its back if you like
that pleases q babe. Then powder it
with starch or Bermuda a~rrowroot." and
the squaller was literally besprinkled

said the lecturer, ain drying a child's
ear dig it out this way" The illustra-
ton blinked its eyes, puckered up its
mouth and let out a Wild yell. Use a
eoft rag. wound around The little finger"
aud as the action was suited to the word,
the illustration crowed gratefully. "In
DRESSING" went on the speaker, the
banduges should be loose enough to slip
two fingers underneath" and as the
babe was deftly turned on its stomach it
grunted a satifed grant. Then came
the ticklish operation Of pinning the
band. Miss Hobart showed how to 40
it without sticking the pin more than a
sixteenth Of an inch into the baby's
back, a proceeding, she said, that nearly
all infants objected to. The lecturer adj
vised that where it was practicable, and
could be done properly, the broad'inen
straps should be sewed and moi pinned.

tinued the pro tenn mother, clerverly

wOotsey's little toes. IL don't like e
little toes all turned up, do 'e?" and the
illustration lined up his voice and howl
ed o denial.
Miss Hobart then took q small piece
Of soft rag and washed out the child's
mouth, something, she said, that should
be done after each meal. General adj
vice was then given on keeping the
babe away from a strong light; how to
handle it properly, and how to soothe it
to sleep when fretful. The lecture was
concluded by a practical Illustration
showing how to change the bcdclothing
expeditiously aad without discomfort to
the mother. The babe comfortably
dressed and Growing with delight vas
handed back to its mother, and the au-
dience dispersed.

Three chtldrsn Take the Old 0sntleman's
Team and Start on . Trip tv Iowa.
Huron Leader.
Friday about eleven O'Clock, three
children, two boys and one girl, the eld-
est not over ton years Of age. drove into
town and stopped back of Terry &
Clark's livery stable. They sought out
the hostler and told him that they had q
team and wagon which they would sell
very cheap, offering the outfit for sl6O.
The hostler thinking all was not right,
questioned them as to where they came
from and elicited from them that they
were living with an uncle near Ordway
and that their father lived in Iowa; that
they were on their way home, and that
they desired t. sell their horses and
wagon in order to get money to make
the rest of the journey by rail.
Mr.. Terry was sent for, and when he
heard the particulars, sent at once for
Sheriff Bell whom, it seems, had received
. telegram from Ordway few days ago
describing the party and ordering theil
arrest. About the time the sheriff ar.
rived, the father of the children, who had
just came in on the Ordwsy train, came
up and gathered the prodigals in bis
arms. The meeting. as stated by the
lockers on, was very affecting, and the
man shed tears Of joy when the little
girl put up her arms around his neck
and said "Papa, I am 80 glad you're
come" So
The man. who gave his name as Kenny
stated that the children have step
mother, who treats them badly, and thai
the little chicks had rebelled on, several
previous occasions. Where the yotngstert
were going he could not tell; but it may
to Iowa-thelr former home.
They had been on the road three day
and their provisions were nearly ex
hausted. The entire party started fo
their home Friday afternoon, where j
may be supposed no fatted calf await
them.
