SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

"A public school at Delmar is part
y situated in Delaware and Maryland.
Each State furnishes teachers for its
pupils.
The revenue of the Presbyterian.
Church in Canada for all purposes DUR
ing the past year was 81. 942, 72S, being
an increase of $212,471.
There are now fifty churches in
; Formosa Canada Presbyterian Mis-
sion) SO arranged that all North For
mosa is in sense occupied. and there.
are ifty-one native preachers.
The New York Evening Post pub
lished list of donations to forty-five
American colleges in the last school
year, aggregating s.. 293. 500. 1t is,
probable that the total value of gifts
to all colleges was $4,000 900.
There is little church at Bonita.
Africa. where on Sunday mornings a.
number of boys and girls are to be-
seen with states in their hands, taking
notes of the sermon; and some of the
elder ones copy their notes on paper
and give them to other native Chris
tians. that they may use them at meet
ings they hold in the towns near.
For some time past the school au--
thorities have recognized the injuri--
Gus effect on the vision of the use of
writing paper ruled with blue lines.
The Grand Ducal school committee at
Mayence is the first in Germany that.
has taken positive steps in banishin2
this paper from the public schools.
No ruled paper is allowed with lines
other than black.
The Armenian Catholic church is
the latest conner among religious.
bodies to this country. and mass was
celebrated by an Armenian priest in
Worcester. Mass, last Sunday, for the
second time in this country. There
is quite colony of Armenians in
Worcester; and the Armenian service
will be celebrated regularly there by
Father Hovsep Saragian. The Ar
menian Catholics, excepting one schis-
matte body, do not acknowledge the
papacy and are as independent as the
Greek Catholics. though not as nu-
merous. The priests do not rank high
enthusiastically. and the bishops as

THE CABY'S BATH.

The Powerful Effect 1t Exerts Upon It
Health-yaluable Suggestions.
There is no item except care OF foo
that exerts so powerful an effect upol
the infant health as care or neglect o
the infants daily bath. Old wive
often insist that some children, which
means always their children, are toe
delicate to bathc. Young mothers
often are frightened out of giving the
bath daily because the child cries and
seems unhappy. 1t is not the bath
that Injuries a child, but the way in
which it is given. The water may be
too cold or too hot. There is only one
way of settling this matter with per-
feet surety. that is with a thermom-
eter As rule the water for bathing
ayoung child should be ninety degrees.
After it is year old the temperature
may be reduced to the temperature OF
the room. Never begin to battle an in
FAINT until every article to be used in
bathing and dressing it is laid out ready
at hand. One of the most necessary
articles of the bath is good-sized tub
A large foot tub is better and cheaper
for this purpose than the regular
child's bath-tub because it is larger,
and abundance of water is necessary.
A rubber apron for the mother or
nurse that bathes the child, and large
blanket apron to spread over and en-.
velop the child when first taken from
the bath is necessity to the child S
comfort Do not on any account re-
ceive child from the bath on the rub
Der apron. The chill it will receive
from such carel essness will counter
act all good effects Of bathing. Allow
the baby to remain in the water from
five to ten minutes, never longer. The
flannel or blanket apron should be
warmed to receive the baby when it is
taken out, and the child should be
dried with soft linen towel as rapid
ly as possible, rubbing the body with
friction towel to stimulate the circu-
lation. Dress the little one carefully.
uncovering only part of the body at a
time. If a child is properly bathed it
will be hungry soon after. Arrange
the bath-hour so it will come just be-
fore one of the morning feeding
hours Before the ten o'clock or
eight o'clock hour is usually most
convenient If the bath is delayed
till before ten o'clock it will come be-
fore its long midday nap, and baby
kept fed at regular hours and bathed
regularly at this time will fall asleep
after feeding if it is well, and often
sleep till one or two o'clock. No in
telligent mother will wake up child
to feed it. 1t is, however. prudent to
regulate the hours of an infants
sleeping as soon as it begins life,
when most of its time is spent in
sleeping. Between its feeding hours
of four and six in tho afternoon the
child had best be kept awake by
gentle means. 1t will then be ready
to sleep after its six o'clock meal, and
usually will wake only twice or three
times in the night, and then only Just
long enough to be fed. Most healthy
babies. however. do wake up at sun
rise, when it is well to feed and take
them cut in the morning air. if POSI-
