How to Manage Il Bnby.

The way to keep a baby from
becoming "spoilt' is to let it cry
"a little as possible, 1t will gain
strength of mind to endure its
necessary ills all the sooner if it is
allowed to suffer as little as posi-
BILE from ills that can be avoided.
Its wants should be anticipated, its
sources of discomfort should be
removed as soon az they arise,
without waiting for it to cry; it
should be prevented in every way
from forming the habit of crying
Study its expression; when it is
tired Of playing ON the floor take
it up and dance it about the room,
and let it look out Of the window
a few minutes. In little while it
will be glad to go back to play ON
the floor again. If 1T is necessary
to resort to discipline, be careful
to soize the right moment for it.
If you want the baby to learn to
60 to sleep without being rocked,
choose a day when it has been un-
usually bright and happy all tho
morning, wait until twenty min
utes or so after tho regular hour
for its nap, then give it a cup OF
milk, particularly sweet and warm
and nice, mako it's little bed soft
and coy, lay it down gently and
sootho il with little kissing and
patting, and, il it is moi already toe
much spoilt, it will only be too
happy TO close its eyes in tn,
sweetest kind Of sleep. If it doe.
not, It's ct OF crying will be as brio
and as little injurious as it can be

Two masors we're working to-
gether on the rear wall of a church
when one stopped the other just
as he was putting a stone in its
place.
Don't put in that stone" no
said; it is Aaky, and will soon fall
to pieces
81 know it isn't a very good one,
but it is SO handy and just fits
here. Nobody will see it up here,
and it is too much trouble to get
another
Don't put it in. Take time to
send for another. That stone
Won't stand the weather, and when
Il Fans the whole building Will be
damaged"
a guess not. 1t wont hurt US;
so here goes"
So he lifted the stone into its
place poor loose grained and falsy
as it was, covered it over with NOR
tar and went on with his work.
Nobody could soc the stone, and
none knew of its worthlessness but
the two masons, and the church
was finished and accepted.
But time and weather did their
work, and soon it began to flake
and crumble. Every rain storm
and every hot, sultry day helped
its decay and soon it crmbled
away. But that was not all nor
the worst. The loss of the stone
weakened the wall and soon a
great beam Which it should have
supported sank into the cavity, n
crack appeared in the roof and the
rain soon made sad havoc with
ceiling aud frescoe. 50 new
roof and ceiling and extensive re-
pairs We're result Of one poor stone
put whore a good ono should have

Each one OF us, young or old, is
building a structure for himself

Commerce.

coffee, sugar, etc. This is barter
or exchange. Smith receives two
dollars per day for his labor in the
factory. He goes to the store and
buys bill of goods, pays cash, or
cash III part, and makes an account
with the merchant. This is trade.
Brown imports a cargo of tea, silk
or hardware, sends thousands of
bushels of wheat and corn across
the continent by railroad. This is
commerce. While the labor of

the present generation when the
man Of the strongest muscle, who
could handle the scythe, the sick

was called the best farmer, and

The Parent of Insomnia.

The parent of insomnia or wakefulness
is IN nine cases out of ten dyspeptic
stomach. Good digestion gives sound
sleep; indigestion interferes with it. The
prain aid stomach sympathize One of the
prominent symptoms of a weak state of
the gastric organs is disturbance of the
great nerve entrepot, the brain. Inyigor-
ale the stomach and you restore eouiiib-
mum 10 the great center. A most reliable
medicine for the purpose is Hostetter's
stomach Bitters, which is far preferable
10 mineral sedatives and powerful narcot-
les, which, though they may for a time ex-
ert soporific influence upon the brain.
soon cease to act, and invariably injure the
tone OF the stomach. The Bitters. on the
contrary, restore activity to the operations
of that all-important organ, and their
beneticient influence is reflected in sound
sleep and tranquil state of the nervous
system. A wholesome impetus is likewise

BAD POLICY.


There can he no question raised concern
ing the position OF the RECORD { MON on
Chinese immigration and its restriction. 1t
has persistently urged the application of
such lawful measures as can be brought
into play to compel the Chinese in Chi
nese quarters and elsewhere to live de-
Gently and in accordance with established
and wise sanitary regulations. Such laws
will largely work their retiracy and be
supported by the Courts 1t would punish
the vices of Chinese precisely as those of
Others are punished. It would remove the
contamination of their presence wherever
it can be done within the pale of law and
humanity. 1t is for the American sys-
ten Of civilization, and looks upon the
methods ard presence of the non-assimi-
lative Chinese as detrimental to it and the
hes interests ofthe laboring classes. But the
REeoRD-UNIoS cannot indorse, or fail to
protest against, the proposed ordinance for
this city, providing that 10 Chinese shall
be permitted TO reside within the limits of
the city of Sacramento. We do not be-
iieve that the lawyers who propose the
scheme entertain the belief for a moment.
that such municipal statute would hold
water for an hour. They know that the
Chinese are here under solemn treaty.
and entitled to certain protection for that
reason. The ordinance lacks constitu
tlonal support, and in its sweep
ing character is calculated to
90 more harm than good to the
antl-Chinese movement. Such attempted
legislation may serve to show the desire of
this people, but the only other result will
be to saddle litigation and cost on the city.
afix the stigma of defeat to the anti-Ch
nese movement, and bring upon us the re-
breaches of the people of the East. The
proposed ordinance should be Withdrawn
Mt once. 1t never should have been intro
@ueed. 1t lacks sincerity, and its discrim-
ination ard its radicalism is calculated to
defeat the very purpose it claims to sub
serve, and will injure the prospects the
workingmen have of relief from Chinese
competition. Neither this nor any other
city can dictate that A, B o, c.
shall not permit native of China to live
beneath the shelter of his roof. With due
respect to the earnestness and the lahors of
tie eatlemen who evolved and advise the
adoption Of the ordinance, we submit to
calm reflection that it is bad policy, if
nothing worse.

uNArIMITY OF OPINION

The San Francisco press with marked
unanimity admits the success and import
ance Of the citrus fair in this city. It
would seem to have already had re-
markaule effect in awakening San Francis
co to realization of the vast importance
OF northern California, concerning the
trade and capabilities of which the metro
polls has long been neglectful, not to saw
conteInptuous. The Gail is satisfied that
the fair viii prove-properly handled-a
lever of great power for the immigration
movement. The Buletia considers the OK.
position at its full value, and estimates II
as a decided help to the effort to draw at
tention to the irut capabilities of the
northern section. The Alta declares that
the Sacramento ia + is genuine surprise.
1t also ad S that it is also a piece of ge.u-
Inc enterprise, visible and ocular demon
stration of our climate and resources that
will be Of the greatest value to California.
The Examiner thinks it would be o,ite
impossible TO overest;mate the importance
of the fair. alt will encourage and
stimulate rival growers to renewed eyer
tions, and inspire desire for greater
achievements. Ii is reasonable to antici
pate from it the most beneficial results as
a means Q, inviting population, and secur-
ing for us additional contrib utions from the
energy, capital and enterprise of other
communities The Chronicle says the
fair ought to be well attended by all in

California, as the display will be liberal
education in the varieties adapted to diff
ferent soils and at tudes. This concur
renee of opinion, while very gratifying, is
precisely what We anticipated. 1t is i'm
possible to conceive of any adverse criti-
eism being made Y any intelligence that
has ordinary capacity and has given the
matter any considerable attention.

did says: The Leake bows. W. S.. who as a
deputy first exposed McCarthvs crooked
ness, and Ed, who first published in his
paper, the Dixon Tribune, McCarthy's pecu-
liar manner of doing business. and who
was afterwards sued by Mccarthy for libel,
have been fully indicated Had the Leg
lsiature done its whole duty. they would
have been vindicated long ago, but the WAYS
OF legislative committee is sometimes ne
GUITAR. The partial investigation bv the leris-
lative committee left Mccarthy unconyict-
ed, and he started in by suing Ed. Leake
Tor libel and discharging and abusing w.
,. Leake, TO play the role of injured inno-
cence. There have not been wanting peo-
pie who really believed that Mccarthy was
a sweet lump of prosecuted innocence, and
that the Leakes were his chief prosecutors.
As simple matter of fact, the Leakes
knew facts damaging TO Mccarthy as an
official. They were aware that to expose
him would work loss and trouble to them
selves. Not TO expose him would not be
doing their duty as good citizens. In defer
ence to duty and right, however, they bold
~ accepted the consequence of telling what
they knew. They have suffered for it in
purse, and have been much annoyed, but,
in the face of McCarthy's recent act. they
stand forth proudly vindicated and rightly
deserving the plaudits and reward of the
people for the sacrifices they made in face
OF ali opposition and discouraging circum-
stances, in the cause of official integrity
and the popular interests.
