The Care OF Babies Ewes.

The number of children who wear specta-
Giles has become serious subject Of remark.
That radical wrong exists somewhere, when
children only years Of age are thus ham
pered for life, is only too paipable, but whose
the blame, and what the remedy for this evil
IDENTITY increasing afiiction9 Are future gen
erations to be sans eyes as well as sens teethi
No one impresses the necessity of care In the
management Of eyes until the damage is
done, and then it is too late.
Young mothers who cover the baby's face
with a vel, or who wear spotted lace against
their own eyes, and who allow their children
to read by insufficient light, are laying up
trouble for themselves, though oculist and
optician will be better off for their criminal
ignorance. As to the school rooms, where
children spend SO many hours Of the day, dc
parents ever ask or know how they are light
ed and whether the scholars face windows,
and whether they are obliged to strain their
eyes by blackboard exercises in half lights.
A little preoaution in the use of the eyes and
some knowledge on the subject OF improper
lighting would be a pound Of cure in this
matter of spectacles Herald.

A Tyrolese Custom.

In some parts of the Tyrol a peculiar and
beautiful custom prevails among the peasant
ry. When peasant girl is going TO be mar
ried, before she leaves her home to go to the
church, her mother gives her handkerchief,
which IS called the tear handkerchief. 1t
is made of newly spun linen, and has never
been used. She IS supposed to dry her tears
with this when she leaves her home and when
she stands at the altar. After tina marriage
is over, and the bride has gone with her hus-
band to her new house. she carefully folds UP
the handkerchief and places it unwashed
among her little treasures. So far it has
done half its duty Her children grow up,
marry and go away to new homes. each
daughter receiving in her turn a new ''tear
handkerchief" and yet the last present, the
present received from her mother, has not
fulfilled its object. Years rou by, and the
once young and blooming bride becomes a
wrinkled old woman, and outlived perhaps
her husband and all her children. At last,
when the weary eyeids are closed forever,
the tear handkerchief" is taken from its
resting place and spread over the placid dead
face-London Figaro.

How Long a Child Should Sleep,

a healthy baby for the first two months or
SO spends most of its tfneasieep. After that
baby should have at least two hours of sleep
in the forenoon and one hour In the after
noon, and 1t is quite possible to teach almost
any infant to adopt this as irregular habit
Even to the age Of four or five years child
should have one hour of sleep, or at least rest
in bed, before its dinner, and it should be put
to bed at 6 or in the evening, and left un-
disturbed for twelve or fourteen hours. Up
to the fifteenth year most young people res
quira ten hours, and till the twentieth yeaI
nine hours. After that age every one finds
out how much he or she requires, though as
a general ruleat least six to eight hours are
necessary. Eight hours sleep will prevent
more nervo:ts arrangements in women than
any medicines cure. During growth
there must be ample sleep if the brain is to
develop to its full extent, and the more ner
vous, excitable or precocious child is, the
longer sleep should it get if its intellectual
progress is not to come to a premature stand
still, or its Life be cut short at an early age

Wouaen's Clubs.

The original wonens clubs in this country
were the New England Womans club, Of
Boston, and Sorosis of New York city
They started almost simultaneously just
ltwenty-one years ago 1t was shortly after
the close of the civil war, and it was partly
due to the work Of the women during the
war that the need of clubs was shown. A
great many clubs throughout the country re-
suited from the two original ones Many of
the eastern clubs and some in the west affil-
lated with the New England Womans club,
and some with SoroSis The Association for
the Advancement Of Women has also done
much TO foster clubs Their congress is held
in different places every year. They go to
appointment cities like Chicago and Detroit,
land 10 places where help is needed. One or
two women's clubs usually spring up where
the meetings are held.
Sorcsis had over one hundred answers 20

There are about one hundred and fifty regu-
Early organized womenis clubs in the coun-

was twofold-to have place for suburban
members Ia meet their friends when they
were in Boston and for culture and study.
AS many other clubs are similar, viii give
a sketch of the months work. We meet
every Monday. The first Monday is de-
voted 10 art and literature A lecture is
given by some able speaker. The second
Monday is devoted TO discussion Usually a
short paper is read by member, and dis
cussion follows it On the third Monday,
the work committee takes up some question
of reform, such as sanitation or social econo-
',nies. The fourth Monday is occupied with
educational matters The public schools,
1indergartens and similar affairs are dis

Once month we have tea- when arnuSe-

Our club also has many study groups. These
are devoted 70 English literature, political

HORSE NOTES.

We were recently favored, says the
American Cultivator, with a very
pleasant call from Benjamin Hibbard,
probably the best-posted man on
Morgan stock that lives. Mr. Hib-
bard took care of Billy Root the win
ter before that horse was four years
old. Billy Root, also known as
Comet, was by Sherman Morgan.
His DAM" says Mr.. Hubbard, was
small mare which would weigh
about $50 pounds. She was a dark
brown bav. Her breeding was not
then known to her owner. Billy Root
was foaled in 1888. He was bred by
Capt. Hezekiah Martin, who sold him
to Mr.. Root of Burke, Vt, in 1887.
He would weigh about 900 pounds
His dam was a famous road mare.
AT three different times this mare was
driven from Portland, Me, to St.
Johnsbury, VT, in one day. The dis
lance was called 100 miles.
A dispatch from Lexington says
that S. A Browne & Co. of Kalama-
zoo, and M R. Bissel of Grand Rap
ids, have purchased the nine-yearold
bay stallion Anteeo (2:16H) from
the Sonoma County Stock Breeders
association, Santa Rosa, Cal, for
100000 cash. Sixteen head of trot-
tiers were sold here Thursday for a
total sum of $142, $50. The price
paid for Bell Boy, $51 900, is the
highest ever paid for a horse in Amer
lea, either a trotter or thoroughbred.

VANILLA.

Vanilla is the product of a vine
that grows chiefly in Mexico. 1t is
not a pretty vine. 1t fastens itself
to its support by air roots like those
of the ivy. 1t bears abundant flow
ers, but they do not readily fertilize
themselves, and artificial means are
employed to insure fertilization and
increase the product This work is
done by women and children, who
when expert, handle 1000 blossoms
a day each If left to themselves,
the crop would be only about one
tenth what is secured by artificial
fertilization. This work is done in
March and April. In December the
pods are yellow and ripe. The plant
ers do not cure them, but sell them
to men who make business of that
part of the process. 1t is a delicate
operation, requiring skill and judg-
ment to preserve the aroma and
quality of the vanilla. The juice, in
which is the active principle of the
extract, dries on the surface of the
pod in white crystals known in the
trade as "silvering." The curing
takes from 20 to 80 days, and the
pods are then assorted and packed
in tin cans for shipment.-[Good

CLIFF JEWELLERS.

One OF the most attractive portions
of Colorado, if not in the entire west,
is that part of the state in which are
found the cliff dwellings, of a long ex-
tinct race The district in which
these ruins are located covers an area
of nearly 5000 square miles, chiefly
in Colorado, but which includes mar
row belts in the adjacent territories
of New Mexico. Utah and Arizona
The ruins of this region, like most
others of the extreme west and south,
are the remnants in a great measure
of stone structures. 1t is evident.
however, that great portion of the
villages and dwellings of the low
lands which comprise this district
have been of material other than
stone, frequently, doubtless, of rub
BILE and adobe combined.
The cliff houses conform in shape
to the floor of the niche or shelf on
which they are built They are of
firm, neat masonry, and the manner
in which they are attached or ce-
mented to the cliffs is simply marvel
lous. Their construction has cost a
great deal of labor, the rock and
mortar of which they are built hav-
ing been brought hundreds of feet up
the most precipitous places. They
have a much more modern look than
the valley and cave remains, and are
probably In general more recent, be
