Day after day Dora's pale, resolute

BABY's DRESS.
Why 1t Should in No Way Interfere with
the Laws of Health.


the Laws of Health.
Life, liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness' are inalienable rights of the in
FAINT, as well as of the adult. It follows,
then, that its dress should in no way
interfere with these rights. It should
be loose, soft and warm, covering neck,
arms and body equally, and short
enough not to restrict motion of legs
and feet. Petticoat bands pinned
around the body interfere with breath
ing, and thus with life and happiness.
The long roller bands of infants are
means of torture and cause ruptures
more than prevent them. One thick.
ness of flannel loosely pinned around
the abdomen is enough for all needed
purposes.
A very practical wardrobe for an in
FAINT, that answered all the demands of
health and comfort, was made by
young mother for her first-born. It
consisted of long-sleeved, high-necked
shirts of wooden, with cotton, similarly
made, to be worn over them. The
binding of each petticoat was basted to
the bottom hem of the shirt corre-
spending to it, or eycless holes We're
worked in binding and hem, and the
two laced together with soft cord.
Thus the skirts could be changed with
out undressing the child. The hand of
the mother could reach any part of the
child's body. Buttons were dispensed
with as uncomfortable for baby to lie
upon, and the undergarments were
fastened in front. At three or four
months, according to season and vigor
of the child, the skirts can be short
ened. A child as young as three
months has been trained TO dispense
with napkins by careful attention to
regularity in attending to Natures
wants. The trouble required to reach
this result is more than offset by the
gain to all concerned in comfort and
health. Drawers of cotton flannel, fri
angular in shape, buttoning together,
can be made to cover the limbs and
should be suspended from the bottom
of the shirt by little tags. one on the
back and two in front. A rubber cloth
for protection is Objectionable, because
it keeps the body in vapor bath. IN
bleached muslin will answer the pur-
pose, but neither should be used con-
stantly.
For children of all ages the funda-
mental rules for dress are warmth of
the whole body, perfect freedom of
limbs and internal organs, and softness
of material with simplicity of style.
All clothing should be suspended from
the shoulders. The feet of the infant
are best incased in soft, square-toed
wooden socks; they should never be
thrust into stiff leather shoes. Until
physiological shoes are for sale, the

RAIN-WASHED MANURE.
The Loss Occasioned by the Careless Man
agement of Farmyard Dung.

The Loss Oeeasioned by the Careless Man
agement of Farmyard Dung.
Whilst. continual discussion is TAX
ing place respecting the value of differ
ent artificial manures, of the insufficient
knowledge farmers generally have of
chemistry and science to apply them
in the right place and at the right
time, it also behooves all agriculturists
to make the best of, and to prevent
any waste that can be avoided in the
farmyard dung. It so strikes one
when, after heavy fall of rain, i'll at
tempting to get the clearest way
through a farmyard to have hard
work to avoid getting up to the knees
in slush, and to see at the lower part
of the yard the discolored water run
ming at q good pace into a pond or IL
ditch, carrying away the real essence
and goodness. A considerable mind
may here calculate how many hundred
weights of artificial manures would re-
quire to be purchased to make up for
what is here wasted. Numerous are
the farmyards in which this takes place
year after year, the farmer drawing out
the wet straw, minus the very proper
ties which are required to feed the land.
Although this waste can not be always
prevented, it can in a measure be
avoided In tie first place all the
buildings should be eaye-troughed to
take away tbs water that comes off
them The outlay for this would not
be much, but it would save q great
deal of flooding. especially where the
old-fashioned barn exists, which cover
q large space the yard side only. The
troughs viii require to be cleaned out
occasionally, to prevent them from
getting blocked, so that they over
flow .H -
A great many farmyards are much
too big, containing quantity of I'M
necessary space. In these yards too
much dung should not be left before it
is taken away to the field, or elumped
somewhere handy TO where it is re-
quired, or the labor will not be alto
gether lost if it is thrown in a heap in
the middle of the yard, so that the rain
can not wash throughit. BY doing this
it will save part of the labor when it is
carted away, as it viii not require SO
many hands to put it in the carts. An
other reason Why it should be thrown
up in clump; it will ferment SO that
the seeds of the weeds and rubbish that
are amongst it win be killed. There
will also not be the water to haul on
the land.-Fafns, Field and Stockmana

"TODDY BLOSSOMS"

An Emblazoned Signal Worn by All Habit
uaI TippIers-Other Organs Similarly
Affected.
One of the most beautiful features of
the face is shapely, fine-cut nose. If
this is deformed, the whole face is in
jured, however perfect otherwise. But
a bad nose is the portion of every
habitual tippler. 1t takes on hated
red (more intense as the years go on)-
becomes coarse with pimples, or swells
out with disgusting and liyid protuber-
anees-"t oddy blossoms, in the apt
and picturesque language of the COM
mon people. The tippler may try ever
so hard to conceal his habits, but his
nose is an emblazoned signal, proclaim
ing the fact to every new conner. -
The explanation is this: The alcohol
increases the action of the heart and
arteries about one-fifth, thus driving
the blood to the surface faster than the
veins can bring it back. Hence the
countless capillaries, whose minuteness
makes them normally invisible, are dis
tended with impure blood, are kept in
state Of permanent congestion and
give rise to the pimples and blotches.
But the nose is not alone in its dis
honor and suffering. Every organ of
the body is in similar condition
The head therefore aches; the sleep is
disturbed; the appetite is poor; the
liver is disordered; the tongue is
coated; the throat is dry; the heart has
spells of palpitation; the back and
limbs suffer frequent pains; and the
lungs become infamed from the slight
est exposure. This is not mere de-
formity, nor simply prominent sign
of degrading habit; it is a note OF
warning to its possessor that his whole
system is diseased, and is getting
ready for the drunkard's grave. 3.
Says the Medical. Reporter: at is
medical fact that as the influence of
alcohol red1ens the dram-drinker
nose, and changes its appearance, so it
reddens and changes the appeararce+of
every organ of the body; and as the,
nose thus affected is not in natural or
healthy condition, so every organ of
his body is changed from natural and
healthy condition to an unnatural and
diseased condition; and as the skin Of
the nose takes On unhealthy action, so
Che substance and covering of the in
ternal organs take on diseased action.
which results in the full development
of incurable diseases, such as insanity,
diseases of the heart, Bright's disease
of the kidneys, hobnail liver and slow
inflammation of the stomach. All
these diseases exist at the same time in
the dram-drinker, but the organ most
diseased is apt to take the lead in the
process of morbid action" y Youths
