MATERNAL POINTERS.

How to Care for Children During the
Heated and intermediate Seasons.
Never tickle a child. It is danger
GUS, and reduces vitality. Any unnat-
ural emotion must be avoided. The
more quiet and free from excitement
little child is kept the better for the
child's health, strength and mental
vigor.
If there is much sicknessrabout the
neighborhood, boil the water which is
used in baby's food, for boiling kills all
the animalcul9 contained in the water.
Cool it before using.
For headache, OF any form of indi-
gestion, drink hot water, half a pint at
a time if possible.
Give children oranges before break.
fast in the spring time. It is better
than sulpur doses or any spring medi-
cines.
Use cream, with hot water and sugar,
in place of condensed or natural milk,
as it is more easily digested than milk.
If hot water is added then it will not
require any warming process, whereby
it may come in contact with metal.
Warm the food by placing the bottle
or cup in water to heat it. with the
water Be careful to have the mouth
piece of the bottle perfectly clean
first scalded and then rinsed with cold
| water.
In the spring let the child take his
outdoor walks in the afternoon; in
autumn let him go out in the forenoon.
The spring morning partakes Of the
preceding season; the afternoon of the
coming season. In autumn the morn
ing is more like summer; the afternoon
like winter.
The whole bath is to be preferred to
the partial bath. Ninety-eight de-
grees Fahrenheit must be the degree
of heat; to be reduced as the child
grows older.
If the child does not sleep we'll give
him bath before going to bed. 1t is
an excellent sedative. Woman. ..

IMPORTANT DECISION.

Liability Of Railway Companies for the
Acts Of Palace Car Employees.
w. was q passenger on the cars of
the Louisville, New Orleans & Texas
Railroad Company, and he went from
his seat In one Of the ordinary cars Of
the train to the Pullman palace car at
tached thereto, and asked permission
Of the porter of the car to wash his
hands in tho basin of the palace car
Some words ensued, when the porter
struck w. on the head with some blunt
instrument and injured him seriously.
w. then sued the railroad company
and the palace car company for dam
ages, alleging that the porter was the
agent of both companies, and was act
ing within the line Of his duty. The
case against the palace car company
was decided against w. on the ground
that he was not on the palace car under
any contract with that company, and
on the trial of the case against the
railroad company he was also
defeated on the ground that
when he was injured by the
porter he was q trespasser on the palace
car, and was acting outside of his con-
tract, and, therefore, could not recover
Hereunder. The case, Williams VS..
The Pullman Palace Car Company and
the Louisville, New Orleans & Texas
Railroad Company, was carried to the
Supreme Court of Louisiana, where
the judgment was reversed, and a
Judgment entered for Williams for
$1,000. Judge Poche, in the opinion,
said:
''We shall follow the decisions of the
Supreme Court of the United States,
and those of the State courts, upon
the question, since we are of the opin-
ion that it is of broad interest to the
country, and one upon which the rule
should be uniform. Passengers on a
train may assume that all the employees
thereon are in the service of the rail-
road company; that the entire train,
palace cars and all, were run under the
control of the company. The contract
with a palace-car company, or any
like organization, is subordinate to the
contract of carriages with the railroad
company, and included therein. The
porter here must, therefore, be held to
be the servant, agent or employe of the
railroad company. But it is contended
that, admitting this liability of the rail-
road company, it is not liable for a
personal assault by this porter, for in
making the assault he was not acting
in the scope of his authority. The en-
ployes of a railroad company are bound
to secure the safety of the passengers
on the train. The company is liable in
damages for any injuries suffered by a
passenger by reason of the negligence
| of any of it's agents, and it is equally
clear and logical that this liability ex
tends to and embraces injuries inflicted
upon passenger by means of a willfu
and malicious assault made by an EN-
pioye upon him. The plaintiff was mo-
a trespasser on the palace car when he
asked permission of the porter to wash
his hands in the basin of the palact
car, and the railroad company mus
respond in damages therefor. "-St
Louis Globe-D Democrat,

Sorvay's Land and People.

The forest land in Norway is in extent
as compared with the. arabic land as
thirty to one. Of course the expectation
Of timber is one of the chief resources Of
the country, but the woods are well pre-
served, forester resides in every district,
and no waste or destrUction'of such valu-
able possessions is allowed, as has un-
fortunately taken place in America. The
land that is cultivated, except in few
favored spots, seems poor, and the people
themselves have, evidently, few Of the
iuxuries Of life. There are not many
villages, Norway differing from Sweden
in that respect; the farlnlouses are scat
tered, and the dwellings of the peasants
are usually small wooden huts. and often
are ruinous.
But, though poverty is great, there is
no beggary. We have never been I'M
portuced for aims, nor have fees been ex-
pected for trifing services, as in Italy OF
the rural districts of England. The peo-
pie have somewhat sad, or rather
snbdued look, such as solitude often gives.

Unless You Have the Gift.

To the question, how to write, I should
say don't write at all, unless you are
sure you have the gift, which is Goo
given, born with you, and can no more
be made to order than can a taste for
music when one has no ear for it.
Don't think you can write because you
are fond Of reading stories and devour
everything which comes in your way, or
because you think yourself as capable as
your friend, who has achieved success
YOU fain would emulate. You must have
the ideal world in you and about YOU
You must early be familiar with the
imaginary people you are to make real,
and who, if you are real yourself, will
come to you sleeping and waking, at day
dawn and sunset, and laying their
shadowy hands on yours will hold you
fast until you tingle to your finger tips
and can no more keep from writing than
the bird can keep from singing when the
dew is on the grass and the morning IS
at it's freshest. If you have never ex-
perienced this glow of enthusiasm, if you
have no imagination and are taking up
writing as you would any other business,
because you think it will pay, or you
want fame and money, don't try to
write, for if you do it will be stlted and
unnatural.-Mry j. Holmes in New
York Mail and Express.

Tho ,,sn ,,;,,Iners Of Franco.

If ladies are invading the trades and
professions which they could not before
equal rights were thought Of, the men
are avenging themselves. Most Of the
French hatters now work for both sexes,
and their shop windows vie with those
of the modistes in exhibition Of trimmed
hats, smart, neat, stylish, and, in short,
tempting as they can be. A batter said
to me: Il would not venture to make
up flowers and fimsy stufs into hats
and bonnets. A woman's fancy and
light fingers are wanted for that. But /
don't fear competing with no matter
what milliner when the trimmings are
rich and solid. We keep an artist, who
has had medals in the Salon, to design
hats trimmed as you see them" High
art is running into the channels into
which it flowed in the Eighteenth cen-
tury, and which were left dry from the
time of the revolution up to a few years
ago. The impetus was given by the
Universal exhibition, and, must I say it,
the corruption of the French theatre, rs
well as the necessity under which man
ayers found themselves of pleasing the
eyes of gilded "rastouquoueres, is-
norant of French, and wishing to show
their womenkind what Pa-isia.n style Ii
dress was.-Paris Letter.

Composition of Bridal wreaths.

The Roma bridal wreath was of YER
bena, plucked by the bride herself. Holly
wreaths were sent as tokens of congratu-
lation, and wreath of parsley and rue
were given under belief that they were
efectual preservatives against evil spirits.
The hawthorn was the flower which
formed the wreaths of Athenian brides.
At the present day the bridal wreath is
almost entirely composed Of orange
blossoms on a background of nlaidenhair
fern, sprig acre and there of stephan
otis blending its exquisite fragrance.
Much uncertainty exists as to why this
blossom has been SO much worn by
brides; but the general opinion seems to
be that it was adopted as an emblem Of
fruitfulness. The custom Of using orange
blossoms at bridals has been traced to
the Saracens. among whom the orange
blossom was regarded as symbol Of a
prosperous marriage, a circumstance
which is partly to be accounted fer b:
the fact that in the East the orange tree
bears ripe fruit and blossoms at the same
time. Monthly.

The OUTPUT of Cur Mines.

1t is very imposing showing that the
bureau of mining statistics makes in its
report of the production of metals m the
United States for 1887. The aggregate
value Of the output of our mines is set
down at s5Ss,056, 345-fgures whose
significance can only be fully grasped by
comparing them with values in other de-
partn1ents of production. It is difficult
to estimate the amount of labor that
went to the making Of this enormous
total. The census of 1880 ranked as
miners some 2S4, ,2SS persons, notinclud-
ing 7,340 oil well operators, and not
counting at all those engaged in the care
of mining machinery. 1t would prob
ably be safe to put at $50, 600 the number
of those who are now directly engaged
in all departments Of mining industry
and such calculation may at least serve
as basis for determining the productive
value of the army of laborers thus en-
ployed.-The Epoch.

Death and Burial in China

When the Chinese wish to declare the
extreme vexatiousness of any piece OF
work they say: ''It IS more trouble than
a funeral" the obsequies of parent
being reckoned the most maddening
affair in human experience.
Infants are buried summarly, without
cof6os, and the young are inferred with
few rites; but the funeral Of the aged, OF
both sexes, are elaborate in proportion to
the number of the descendants and to
their wealth. When childless married
man dies, his widow may perform all
the duties Of son toward him, may re-
main in his house and may adopt children
to rear as his heirs and worshipers of the
family names. If his widow proposes
marrying again, young male relative

When one is about to die he is re-

that he who dies in bed will carry the

He is washed in a new pot in warm
water in which bundle Of incense sticks
is merged After the washing the pot
