How to Dress IA Baby.

A baby should be warmly dressed,
but not encountered with clothing.
When it perspires too freely it is too
warm and is likely to take cold If the
air happens to be colder than usual or
it is exposed to draught. On the,
other hand great deal of vitality IS
wasted in the efforts of nature to keep
the body warm if it is not protected
with sufficient clothing.
A young baby should have flannel
band long enough to go twice around
it. Be very careful not to put it ON
too tight, and fasten it with small
safety pins. On this put long -sleeveI
cashmere shirt, buttoned all the way
down front. No one who has used AN
open shirt will ever return to the old
fashioned kind that have to be put on
over the head Next comes long
flannel pettieoat, or pinning blanket.
sewed to a cotton waist, and over that
loose white slip. Two napkins, one Of
cotton, the other of swan'sdown or
flannel, should be used. Twilled cot
ton is the softest, most absorbent ma
terial for napkins. Some mothers pre-
fer linen diaper, but it does not retain
the moisture as well as the cotton.
A knitted blanket, or an embroidered
cashmere one, can be wrapped around
the. baby unless the weather is very
warm 1t is always safe to use one,
when it is carried from one room to an
other, to protect the head from
draughts. Little knitted socks keep.
the feet warm and add much to its COM
fort.
DO not be afraid of fresh air. Open
the window and provide artificial heat,
sufficient to keep the room at a tenn
perrture of 690. Do not let the air.
blow directly upon the child; screen,
placed near the window, or o strip OF
flannel pinned in front of the opening
will prevent this.
Take the baby into the open air
every pleasant day, putting ON sufficient
clothing to keep it warm. Do not trust.
it in baby carriage with a young girl
whose carelessness might injure it for
life.
Always dress and undress a young
baby by an open fire. If it cries during
the day, unpinning its foot blanket and
warming its feet will sometimes quiet
it.-LadieS' Home Joa0na,

Kept Silent Thirty Years.

The death of Mrs. Susan Z. Mer,f-
field, which occurred here recently, re-
wives interest in one of the most peculiar
cases ever known of VOW Of silence
made and kept thirty years. l.. 1860
Mrs. Merrifeld, who, it is said, was =
little woman of peculiarly bright
and CHEEKY disposition, was telling her
husband of some occurrence, when he
requested her in q very surly manner
to be silent. adding that the sound OF
her voice was hateful to him.
1t seems that Mr.. Merrifield, while
food husband in every other way, was
in the habit of venting his displeasnrea
when aroused by outside matters hy i'll
humors with his wife, whose good ma
ture usually passed his testiness by, but,
on this occasion she replied that, as 1t
was hateful to him, he should never
hear her voice again. And he never
did nor did any other person ever hear
it, for, in spite of her husbands renlorse
and remenstrances from friends and
relatives. Mrs. Mortified kept her
room, though she continued to act the
part of good wife and mother, fulfil

after this vow was taken. When COM

with those about her she used a slate,
but reduced language of signs to such,
perfection in governing her household
and children that it was but seldom
that this slate was resorted to.
1t was thought that when her hus-
band died she would resume the use OF
her speech, but she sat by his dying
bed, devoted and loving to the last. in
answer to his supplications that she

it that it could be not opened in the

cracksman, for one morning pieces of
this safe were found all around the

LITERARY NOTES.

IT, CENTURY for April contains two
f,ni-page engravings, by Timothy Cole,
the engraver, each subject being q
Madonna and Child by Giovanni
Bellini; namely. the famous altarpieees
in the church of s. Zaccaria and the
church of the Frari in Venice. The con-
dHctors of The Century claim that mod
ern wood-engraying has never been put
to such valuable snd permanent use as
is this series of engrayings made by
Cole in the very presence of the great
est pictures. The original relations of
tone which are so sadly confused in the
photographs, especially in those of the
Venetian school. are retained in all the
accuracy possible TO black-and-white.
