WOMAN AND HOME.
UNIQUE KEEPSAKE MADE BY A DOT.
ING MOTHER FOR HER BOY.

ChiId's Ailments
Speaking Of babies said lady the other
day, baby boy of nay acquaintance will
possess some day if he lives a treasure in
the shape Of book prepared for him by
his mother and entitled, "Baby's King
dom" In the first place. she herself is an
oddity, always thinking of and doing
something nobody else ever did. The child
was very popular where he lived. When
he was born the fond parents had birth
cards printed and mailed 10 their friends.
announcing his arrival, name and weight.
Floral offerings, kilograms and letters Of
congratulation began coming in thick and
fast.
When the babe was ! month old the
mother procured a large book, which
through her ingenuity has become a treas
IRE. She cut out the pages, Inserting in
stead rainbow tinted ones, on which she
first pasted one Of the birth cards and, fly
ing toward it, gilt cupid bearing an en-
velope on which was printed: Il bring
good news" Flowers selected from the
different tributes were pressed and ar
ranged tastefully on different pages, under
which were neatly written the names of
the senders and dates upon which received.
All through the book, AZ far as it is com
pleted, the diary gives complete history
of the child's life, portions of which are
laughable.
The book contains the congratulations,
his first and last portrait, portraits of baby
friends, with locks Of their hair name and
age, a complete list Of the presents receiv-
ed, which were numerous, and names Of
givers; a drawing Of his hand when
months old, his exact measure at
months Of age, names Of all his callers,
newspaper clippings concerning his lord
ship and monthly expense account A few
pages are devoted TO scraps Of his trousseau,
an occasional bill Of fare and many other
keepsakes
Several cousins, talented in the art of
letter writing, sent TO his address letters
which were carefully tied with bits of rib
bons to the pages; the first time the father
had occasion TO be out Of town lie also sent
a special letter to his son and heir. When
he was months of age the mother was
photographed, holding the babe naked in
her arms. The child was brought up from
the first on the water six times q day plan,
wore caps like our great grandmOthers did,
has never been treated 10 a lump of sugar,
does not known what candy is, has always
been bathed, fed and put TO sleep regularly
by the clock, and as be has had an abund-
Bnce OF outdoor air he is in consequence
perfect picture of health. - Kansas City

The ChiIdren,s Feet.

1t is the part of the wise mother to care
fully watch the feet of the little ones dur
ing their tender years. Keep the head
cool and the feet warm" is faithful adj
monition, especially adapted to the chill
dren. With many wooden stockings
should be avoided altogether, especially
when they cause itching or sweating of the
feet. Perspiration will be absorbed by the
wool, making of the stocking q cold, clam
my mass, more 10 be dreaded than the
most tempting mud puddle" Equip
such children with firm. substantial cot
ton hose, providing wooden anklets or leg
gings, if thought best, and their feet will
be warm and dry, except for outward wet
ting.-Cor. Good Housekeeping.

TWILIGHT IN BoRDERLAND.
The sky is aglow with the sunset light.
He has T,oured his gold over rower and ire,

The sky is aglow with the sunset light.
He has poured his gold over tower and tree.
And scattered his diamonds upon the sea,
Dropped his cssket of pearls on the robe OF night
And his tears on the fioweret's pink and white,
Yet leave them, mother, and fy to thee
Over field and woodland and dark ravine
My spirit is borne on its pinions feet,
Till clasp your hand and our glad eyes meet
Then We wander away in a glorious dream,
And float and float in a mystical sheen.
To a realm unknown 70 mortal feet
We bask in that wonderful region Of light,
We are filed and thrilled with loves sweetest
tone,
While we drink Of bliss 70 sense unknown
oh, what do they know Of pure delight
Whose souls never stretched out their wings Ia
fight
Who never have found and embraced their
own

what the town folks Will not buy. AND
farmers wives are somewhat to blame for
this state of affairs. If they would take
pains to tempt their families with the sa-

from so many herbs or vegetables they
would soon change this state of affairs and

A Democratic Duke,

The late Duke of Manchester, when
on his first visit to Australia, in 1879,
was entertained by the eolonists in a
princely fashion. In Queensland the
weather was intensely hot, and the duke
left his party and rode ahead in his shirt
sleeves with his coat strapped before
him) and wearing a soft felt hat. On
his arrival at the bush public house he
found a crowd awaiting him. One
bushmsn, stepping up TO him, said:
''Halloa, have you seen the dukei
VIII he soon be here"
The peer replied:
81 am the Duke of Manchester.
The bushman surveyed his visitor,
walked around the horse, and after a
critical inspection said before the
crowd:

A Desnernte Scheme.


This Congress is at its wits end
to devise schemes by which its ma
jority may be continued. The
worst of these is the scheme to adj
nit as fullfledged States territor-
les that have little more popula-
lion than the City of Wheeling.
The scheme moves the Boston
Globe to remark that tits "degrad-
#fiifgt to statehood, and compromis-
ing to national dignity For in
stance, Wyoming, with only $4,000
voters and comparatively small
population, will have two senators
md a representative and Idaho
about the same. Our contempof-
ary cites the fact that neither OF
these territories "has anything
like the 1892 inhabitants re-
quired to secure one representa-
tive under the present legal appor-
tionment." But, as Nevada, with
$4,000 people, has representative
it is presumed that the territories
now under consideration will get
there, too.
It is all a bold scheme to per-
petuate the present fraudulent
Republican majority in Congress
and to avert the political revolu-
ton which is coming as sure as
fate Wheeling Register.

Lessons OF The Times.

In The minds Of observing men
the evident drift Of the New Eng
land States toward Democracy is
sufficient explanation of the hur-
ried attempt to strengthen the Re-
publican party by creating as ma
ny new States as possible while
Congress is Republican in both
branches. This is a sure sign of
Republican desperation and ret
repression. To-day the Democrat
ic party stands for progress in its
administrative and economic pol
icy. The Far West cannot be
played against the East to the dis
advantage Of the Democracy be-
sanse even in the West the people
are beginning to realize that the
just and the winning issue of the
day is that of tariff reform. Utica
