Dressing the Baby.
New York Evening Post.


There is probably no moment in a young
pears so inadequate as the moment when
she is left alone with her first baby; the sense
of responsibility which she then feels
weighs upon her like a great burden, and
one that is not to be lifted. One question
that is likely to disturb her is whether she
will continue the use of the flannel band,
which is considered essential by most, if not
all, nurses. This question gains force and
presses for an answer if her husband stands
by and remarks that it is remnant of bar
barism," and it really does seem to be, II it
is pinned close enough to keep it in place;
no room is left in which the muscles
may expand, and if it is not pinned close,
it wrinkles and must hurt the infants

question may be answered is this: There are
knit bands, made of the soft Saxony yarn.

possible to do so, substitute the knit-band for

waists OF the pinning- blanket and skirts are
pinned in front it is a much easier matter to
dress the baby, and, beside, even if the latest
and best kind of safety-pin is used, there is
danger if pinned at the back that they will
press in disagreeable manner on the baby's
back. Many mothers make the long as we'll

accused OF meeting cIandestinely.

Benin, and Pfeifer, barber The
first three witnesses swear to seeing Wal

church, two years ago, and go to the Cougar
residence, entering by an alley at the back
way. A. o. Benin testified that on March
10, 1881, he went to Wallace's office on
business and could not find him; card on

could not be found at court he went to the
Office three times in the afternoon, but
could not get in. Late in the evening he
saw Mrs. Cougar and Mr.. Wallace on the
street with arms locked.
The barber, Pfeifer, testified that he saw
Mrs. Cougar go into Wallace's office the
same afternoon.
The lawyers were very backward about
giving their testimony. One thing COM

Notes of the Case.

Lafayette Courier.
Three juries are trying this case-one III
the case (Which will never agree) another
outside, composed of the lawyers and ex-
ports, and last but not least, third jury
composed of the women. Jury No. 8. with
charming unanimity, agreed upon a verdict
before the trial opened. Jury No. is open
TO conviction.
1t is said that John D. Cougar, who is very
methodical, keeps diary not as most people
keep them, very full and complete for a week
or two after New Years, but has kept it day
by day for years. OF course it tells all about
Helen, when she went lecturing or visiting.
This diary is the basis of his abiding faith in
Mrs. Cougar. So far, he says, it shows an
alibi in every distinct charge where dates are
given.
The Cougar side are free to say that some
body will make the trip to Michigan City
for perjury before the celebrated case is
ended
