Taking Care of the Baby.

A baby that is not kept perfectly sweet and
fresh loses half its charm, and is defrauded
OF its lust rights 1t should be bathed in
warm water every morning, and as 1t grows
older, the temperature gradually lowered

and are more apt to scream at being taken
out of it than when put into 1t. 4 there is
shrinking from the plunge small blanket
can be spread on the tub, the child laid OF. it,
and gently lowered into the tub. At night
it should be held on the lap and quickly
sponged with sponge, wrung cut of warm
water. Its mouth should be washed with
soft piece of linen dipped in cool water. All
creases where the flesh touches should be
powdered with pulverized starch, or any
good toilet powder This is most important,
and must never be omitted, as the delicate
skin easily chafes. Where there is redness,
or any symptom of chatting, lycopodium
powder should be used it is most healing,
and can he applied even if the skin is broken
When there are frequent discharges, the
parts should be washed in thin. boiled starch
instead Of water. II IS criminal neglect TO

The Walk Of Woman.

It cannot be out Of place here to suggest
the ACCESSIBILITY of opening classes where
children, girls especially, might be taught
the science Of walking. Mothers should be
the natural teachers, but many VINO are rig

solutely Indifferent on this irnportan, point
In fact, after showing them navigation by
means of their legs, duty is believed to be at
an end, and 10 matter how wretchedly the
child moves the parent rests sst;fied with
only spasrnodic attempts at correction.
Whether the ungracefui wabble, the hating
step and painful stoop so commonly seen is
attributable TO careleSsneSS or. unnatural
dressing, certain it Is that SIX out of every
ten women walk abo.ninabiy. To be upright
and easy In ones movements is only as na-

not the slightest excuse for the absurd loco

was adjusted. One morning Mrs Jones went
out 70 attend the milking and upon looking
in the accustomed place for the rope failed to
find it. While the search for it was going on
the calf thought, perhaps, to get more than
his share of the milk. but something seemed
to interfere with the imbibing process, and
his peculiar actions attracted attention to
him Whereupon it was discovered that the
calf had swallowed the rope, but failed to
make a complete job Of it, as the moose was
hanging from one corner OF his mouth. The
moose was laid hold of and a steady pull

After the Bath.

Let me here remark that no bath is perfect
in its results without the long and brisk flic-
ton of hands or coarse towel afterward
Friction not only stimulates circulation, bat
it makes the flesh firm and polished like
Parian marble. 1t is sometimes astonishing
to See the change made in ugly skin by
friction, and any lady who wishes TO possess
a healthY body, firm TO the touch and fair to
the eye, with the elasticity of youth well
prolonged into age, must give willingly of
her strength TO the daily task of rubbing the
body thoroughly. -Dress.

FATE OF THE BASEBALL UMPIRE.

The umpire took his station
Just back Of tie batter's base,
And he wore an cir quite debonair,
As he posed with easy grace.
A bah came hotly whizzing
At his devoted head,
But the batspan's bat Just gave it spas,
And over the wall it sped
Then away the batsnan scurried,
Like a race horse on the track,
And as be few he wildly threw
His deadly willow back
Foul ball.'' cried cut the umpire,
As the striker started down;
But the flying stick arrived full quick,
And smote him on the crown
"Ha. hal" the ball men shouted,
"Oh, hor' the people said.
Then on the ground, with grief profound.
His comely form they spread
Of came his chest protector.
Likewise his mask Of wire;
They made him Light. SO that he might
More easily expire.
The coroner was summoned
To investigate the case,
And he came and gazed, in manner aazed,
Upon the unlpire's face.
And this was the verdict, rendered
In hushed and solemn tone:
''J'he deceased is dead of a broken head,
The result Of a bat well thrown"
