be prevented in every way from
forming the habit of crying. Study
( it's 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 for a few minutes.
In little while it will be glad to go
back and play on the floor again. II it
is necessary to resort to discipline. be
careful to seize the right moment for it.
IL you want the baby to learn to go
to sleep without being rocked, choose
/ day when it has been unusually bright
and happy all the morning, wait until
twenty minutes or so after the regular
hour for its nap, then give a cup of
milk particularly sweet and warm and
nice, make its little bed soft and cosy,
lay it down gently, and soothe it with
little kissing and patting, and, if it is
not already too much spoilt, it will only
be too happy to close its eyes in the
sweetest kind of sleep. If it does not,
its fit of crying will be as brief and as
little injurious as it can be.
HOW TO BREATHE.
Many disease germs enter through
an open mouth. The mouth was not
made for breathing. but for eating and
speaking. The nose was made for
breathing, and air, passing through the
long, moist, nasal passage, is purified.
and leaves behind dust, disease germs,
and various impurities, while the air is
warmed and tempered for the lungs.
But, when the mouth is left open, dust,
dirt, and disease rush down into the
lungs, and, fastening there, develop
and destroy the whole system.

water upon two tablespoonfuls of I'M
slaked slime, let stand few minutes,
bottle and cork, and when clear, it is
ready for use. Put three tablespoon
fuls in a cup of milk, and drink any
time, usually before meals.
HINTS TO HoUsEKREPERs.
Snow, sprinkled over a carpet before
sweeping, will keep down the dust and
brighten the carpet.
To clean windows, wash them first
with tepid water and sponge; then
dry them with old linen, and rub them
clean; polish them with newspaper.
To clean straw mating, wash with a
cloth dipped in clean salt and water
then wipe dry at once. This prevents
it from turning. yellow.
A room crowded TO discomfort with
furniture and ornaments, no matter
how costly, is never restful and home
like, and always suggests the museum
or the shop.
It is an essential to health that the
air of the kitchen should be as pure as
that of the parlor, because food pre-
pared in foul air partakes of the foul
ness to great extent.
If your black cashmere is much
soiled, have it washed. 1t will come
out new. Care must, however, be
taken to have it properly done. The
secret lies in quickly drying and press
ing.
If the face seems constantly dry,
rub it with a trihe of olive oil every
night for time; if too oily, put o
little borax in the water used for bath
ing.
The clothes-line ought never to be
tied around IRON rails, as is the general
custom, for they soon rust and fray it.
Wooden pins are better.
