INFANT MORTALITY.
Older People Should TRY to Maintain
simplicity I'm ChildhOOd.

simplicity In Childhood.
Manners and morals are closely con-
nected, though parents attentive to the
children's training in the one are
strangely negligent with regard to the
other.
Example goes a mile where pre-
cept goes an inch with children,
and 1 believe that the irreverence
toward their elders which is Justly
blamed in children of the present age
(and, perhaps Justly also, in especial,
among Americans) is largely owing to the
greater freedom of companionship
with their elders now always al
lowed to children. Few people will
restrain themselves in speech on account
Of the presence Of the little ones, and
these consequently hear an immense
deal of personal comment and criticism
which they ought not to hear, if they are
to keep that respect for their elders in
general which surely it is desirable they
should retain so long as it is possible.
To the same cause is due the sophisti-
cation Of children, 80 noticeable, and to
my mind, so deplorable. A boy need not
be baby because he does not know at
ten what his grandfather did not know
until he was twenty. The modest SIM
plicity and the fresh and tender bloom
Of girlhood-no, it has not all disappear
ed yet! l believe that a child, who,
without being coddled and "babifed, .
yet is kept child 30 long as, according
to its years, it is called one, has a physi-
cal advantage over the child too early
initiated into the knowledge of manhood
or womanhood.

NOVEMBER 4

At the beginning of November more than
two-thirds of the suns six months souther-
~ journey has been completed. On the
21st of December it will have reached the
extreme limit ofits course in that direction,
and take up its northerly march, which it
will finish six months later. At the open
ing Of November, therefore, the duration
between sunrise and sunset i'll be 10 hours
and 81 minutes, and at the closing 8 hours
and 81 minutes, the day being shortened
fifty-two minutes in the interval. But two
of the planets will be above the horizon in
the early evening hours at the opening of
November. These are Jupiter and Mer-
curry. Jupiter, however, will be too near
the sun to be visible. From April cid to
September q, when Venus became morn
ing star, Jupiter divided the planetaryhon-
ors with the latter, being the most CON
spicuous object in the evening sky next to
Venus and the moon. But for months
past it has been steadily drawing nearer
and nearer to the sun, and on the 9Th of
November it sinks below the horizon at the
same time as the great central luminary
of the system, and its role as evening star
will be ended for 1888. During the re-
mainder of the year it will be seen in the
easterly side of the armament, rising be-
fore the sun, becoming, a few weeks hence,
a prominent object in that part ofthe early
morning hours. The most interesting
astronomical event of November, however,
is the meteorie display which will take
place on the 12th, 18th and 14th. On these
days the earth will sweep though the me-
teoric zone. The tiny bodies which come
within the earth's attraction will be divert
ed from the orbit and speed toward us, APP
pearing to the popular vision as falling
stars.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

THE SAVAGE WAY.
How the Indian Treats an I~njury-Old
Time

The savage is emphatically the child of
nature. He lives close to nature. his only
education is gained in natures school.
When the Indian receives an injury, he
does not seek a cure in mineral poisons,
but binds on the simple leaf, administers
the herbal tea, and, with natures aid,
comes natural recovery.
Our rugged ancestors, who pierced the
wilderness, built their uncouth but COM
Portable Log Cabins and started the clear
ings in the woods, which in time became
the broad, fertile fields of the modern far
mer, found in roots and herbs that lay close
at hand natures potent remedies for all
their common ailments. 1t was only in
very serious cases they sent for old saddle
bags with his physic, which quite as often
killed as cured.
Latter DAY society has wandered too far
away from nature, in every way, for its
own good. Our grandfathers and grand
mothers lived wholesomer, purer. better,
healthier, more natural lives than we do.
Their minds were not filed with noxious
isms, nor their bodies saturated with poi
sonou drugs.
Is it o time to make a change, to return
to the simple vegetable preparations Of our
grandmothers, which contained the power
and potency of nature as remedial agents,
and in all the ordinary ailments were effiea-
cious, at least harmless?
The proprietors of Warmers Log Cabin
remedies have thought SO, and have put
on the market a number of these pure veg
etable preparations, made from formulas
secured after patient searching into the
annals of the past, SO that those who want
them need not be without them.
Among these Log Cabin remedies will
be found LOG Cabin Sarsaparilla, !" for the
blood Log Cabin hops and buchu reme-
dy," a tonic and stomach remedy "Log
Cabin cough and consumption remedy"
Log Cabin hair tonic, " for strengthening
and renewing the hair; Log Cabin ex-
tract, " for both eternal and internal ap-
plication LOG Cabin liver pills !" LOG
Cabin rose cream" an old but effective
remedy for catarrh, and LOG Cabin plas-
ters.' All these remedies are carefully
prepared from recipes which were found,
after long investigation, TO have been those
most successfully used by our grandmoth-
ers of I'VE olden time" They are the sim
pie, vegetable, efficacious remedies of Log
Cabin days.

PREsIDENTIAL mxEmONICs.

George Washington, the first among his mates,
Presided over these United States.
o Adams next attained this lofty fame
And after him great Thomas Jefferson came.
Succeeding him. James Madison arose,
And James Monroe with few, ifany, foes.
John Quincy Adams next controlled the reins,
And then old Andrew Jackson showed his
brains.
After eight years Van Buren, took his place:
Then Harrison, who lived but q brief space.
John Tyler filed the ~unexpired time;
And then came James H.. Polk: Just N his
prime.
Zach. Taylor next proceeded to the fore;
But, after sixteen months, his life was DER.
His term unfinished Willard Fillmore served
Then franklin Pierce, who ne'er from duty
sweryed.
Buchanan next responded to the call;
And then Abe Lincoln, noblest OF them all.
All nations viewed from far his grand be-
havior;
And, dying, he was called the country's savior.
To take his place A. johnson now was bound,
Who oft was want to swing the circle round -
Ulysses Grant next came upon the Held,
And, after eight long years, was 10th to yield:
But, having had his share of worthy praise,
At last he gave his place to r. b. Hayes.
Brave Garfield then the assassin's bullet slew;
He rivaled Lincoln as q martyr true.
"Chetn Arthur next stepped to the van;
His name Synonymous with gentleman

Ben Harrison will rule as his successor. (Rep.)*
And surely he viii be his own successor. (Dem

HOUSE PALMS AND FERNS.

Palms and ferns are beautiful room
plants, and require but a moderate amount
of attention to AVE them always as a fine
centre piece for the dinner table. The palms
require a soil formed of peat and loan. an
even, warm temperature and as much mois-
ture in the atmosphere as possible. They
should receive frequent sYringings (being
removed to al oil cloth for the purpose, of
course, and the leaves should be washed
twice a week in the same manner as those
of the India rubber plant. When water
ed round the root, which should be done
often enough to allow of the soiln never get
ting really dry, it would be as well to re-
move the plants also upon a hall oil cloth
to drip. Ferns, too, should receive fire.
quent (f not daily s~yringings 10 prevent
the dust collecting on the leaves, which it
will do on indoor plants if they are neglect
ed. Both palms and ferns in pots should
be thoroughly drained to prevent more
water remaining than is absorbed by the
soil. How often plants in a conservatory
should be watered depends on the tempera-
ture, the varieties ofplants, and the nature
of the soil, so that there can be no hard and
fast rule the soil in the pots should never
be allowed to get dust dry, nor should it
be kept really wet, although there are ex-
ceptions where even these broad rules do
not hold good some plants will flourish
almost without moisture, while others, as
the mimulus, cannot be kept too wet.

Somebody has condensed the mistakes of
life. and arrived at the conclusion that
there are fourteen of them. Most people
would say, if they told the truth, that
they were Ike the drops in the ocean or
the sands on the shore in number; but it
is well to be accurate. Here, then, are
fourteen great mistakes: 1t is a great mis-
take to set up our own standard OF right
and wrong, and Judge people accordingly;
to measure the enjoyment of Others by our
own; to expect uniformity of opinion in
this world; to look for Judgment and ex-
perience in youth; to endeavor to mould
all dispositions alike; not to yield to im-
material trifes; to look for perfection in
our " actions; to worry ourselves and
others with what cannot be remedied; not
to alleviate all that needs alienation as far
as lies in our power; not to make allow
ances for the infirmities of others; to con-
slider everything impossible that we cannot
perform; to believe only what our finite
minds can grasp; to expect to be able to
understand everything. The greatest of
mistakes is to live for time alone, when
any moment may launch us into eternity.

BIRTHDAY BEES.

Cyrus De Forrest owns a farm in North
Wilton, on the Danbury branch of the
Housatonic Railway. On his birthday
every May a swarm of bees come to his
place and take refuge between the floor
ard ceiling of his house. All efforts to
keep them out have failed, and it has not
yet been discovered how they gain an en-
trance. At tine end of the season the floor
is taken up aud the honey is gathered.
Last year Mr.. De Forrest got o. pounds,
and this year his crop was IS pounds. The
remarkable facts of the case are the reg
ularity of the appearance OF the bees. Last
year was the one exception in several years,
they coming one day earlier than usual.
The bees are killed every year, but swarm
takes their place the next season.

A WORK.

'My dear said an eminent philanthropy
list to his wife one day Quoted in Good
Housek6eping), as he suddenly burst into
the sitting-room, II have been counting
the windows in our house and find there
are forty. 1t just occurred to me that you
have to keep these forty windows clean.
And that is not a beginning of your work.
All these rooms nave to be swept and gar
nished, and carpets made and cleansed,
the house linen prepared and kept in order,
besides the cooking, and l took it all as a
matter of course. l just begin to see what
woman's work is, even when she has help,
which you are not always able to procure.
You ought to receive a monthly stipend as a
housekeeper would. Why haven't you made
me see it before? | have not been just to
you while l have been generous to others. .
The wife who told this in after years sat
down with him and for the first time since
their marriage opened her heart freely up
on the topic of woman's allowance. She
confessed to having had many a %sorrowful
hour at her position as a beggar. At the
head of a large household in a western
town, where domestic service was both
scant and incompetent, she had hardly
been trusted with S. at a time during their
united lives.

WASHING BLANKETS.

Several correspondents ask to nave the
directions repeated for washing blankets.
Quite simply, it is to put a pint of house.
hold ammonia in the bottom of your tub,
having had the blankets well beaten to re-
move all clinging dust, before you get the
tubs out. Then lay the blanket lightly on
over the ammonia and pour upon it a sufi-
Gent quantity of warm water to cover the
banket entirely. Then with a stick or the
hand flop the blanket about in the solu-
ton. pressing all the water that will come
out of it against the side of the tub,
without wringing, as you remove it
to the rinse water. You will be
amazed to see the dissolved dirt coming
out through the fibres, as no washing or
rubbing in soap suds will brig it out.
Rinse in the same way, in the same mod
and by simply pushing the blankets about
in the tub. Press through the wringer and
hang out to dry in a windy place, not in
the sun. As the blanket hangs there drying
a little water will collect in the four corn
ers, which it is rather az amusement to
squeeze out to help the drying process. If
you do not care to put a second blanket in
the first ammoniated water, which must
be done promptly, as the ammonia, evapor-
ates quickly, divide the quantity, taking
half a pint for each one of two tubs, and
wash two blankets at once. The evapor-
ating ammonia, released by the warmth of
the water, can only escape through the
blanket, which is laid over it in the tub
before the water is applied. Hence you
get the value of every drop of it. In or
binary cleaning with ammonia, for paint,
brasses, silver, sc. mix it with cold water
first, and then add a little warm water to
the pail.
