THE HOUSEHOLD
The clothing of Babies.

Although 1 own that children are now
more sensibly clothed than was the case
thirty years ago, it is still common to see
an infant who can take no exercise to
warm himself, wearing a low necked,
short -sleeved, sh~ort-coated dress in the
coolest weather. The two parts of the
body-viz., the upper portion of the
chest and the lower portion of the abdo-
men-which it is most important to
keep from variations of temperature, are
exposed, and the child is rendered liable
to colds, coughs and lung diseases on
the III hand, and bowel complaint on
the other. What little there is of tho
dress is chiefly composed of open work
and embroidery. SO that there is about
rs much warmth in it as in a wire sieve,
and the socks accompanying such q
dress are of cold white cotton, expos-
ing n cruel length of blue and red leg.
l cannot see the beauty ofs pair of livid
blue legs. and would much rather be-
hold them comfortably clad in n pair of
stockings. II the beauty lie i'll the
shape of the leg, that shape will be dis
played to as much advantage i'll q pain of
stockings; if it lie in the coloring of the
flesh, beautiful coloring will not be OBJ
tanned by leaving the legs bare, and
from the artistic point of view, n blue
OF red stocking is infinitely preferable
to n blue and red leg.-Scicncc Monthly.

ONE of the most remarkable monu-
ments in America is at San Luis, Obispo
County. Southern California. A great
rock rises $50 feet above the plain of
Carissa, and in the distance looks rug
ged and forbiding. On near approach
it seems to have on its eastern side an
opening twenty-five feet broard, which
leads into an inner temple OR court,
with level floor 225 feet long and 1876
feet broad at it widest part. The cell
ing is sixty to one hundred feet high.
This great natural cathedral is o Won
der to biologists, but it is more wonder
full to psychologists. 1t was evidently
used by prehistoric men as o temple of
worship or a capitol of government. On
the walls are paintings in red, white, and
black, doubtless having n meaning.
There are figures representing fields,
suns, forts, spears, men and animals.
The colors are apparently as bright as
when laid on. The wonder was dis
covered by franciscan missionaries 100
years hgo, aud there has beenno change
in its appearance since. When or by
whom the walls were decorated no one
knows. The Indian tribes had no ira
dition concerning the work, and regard
it with superstitiors reverence.

WHAT A SNOW III Is.

Something UnliearDl Or Before.
1t was expected that the snow blockade
in the Sierras would be soon lifted, but
fresh 10Y has again covered tho track.
The great rotary snow plow is almost use-
less, as it can go only q few hundred feet
before its blades are clogeed with snow
which freezes to them aud they have to be
thawed out. Reports from Emigrant Gap
say that the snowstorm still continues, and
it is only guess work when tho trains can
be moved. 1t was clear on the northern
line to Cregor, but another storm is brew
ing there, and o stock raiser from Nevada,
just arrived, says the snowfall in Nevada
is heavier this year than it has been for
the past twenty-five years. Tho damage
done 10 stock farms cannot be estimated.
Stock raisers expect to lose onc-half their
sheep and cattle. Stock is freezing to
death and the loss of human lifc is also
extremely large through exposure and
storms in the mountains. The snow in
the valley is four and a half feet deep and
in the mountains about t enty feet on IL
level. 1t takes a man experienced with
snow shoes to travel eight miles in two
DAYS.

betweeh the two while Miss Hopkins wns

These figures only add new weight to
the fact already established, that it is
early maturity that pays in beef produce
ton. A fall from q gain of 2.G2 pounds
per day during the first year of an ami
mails life to l.52 pounds during it's
fourth year. is n great loss.
Another fact brought out is TINT the
Grades and Crosses in one case las
~calves) gained more than either of the
other classes; in another case (yenrlings)
the gain was the same. In the two-year-
olds the difference was hut slight, while
as three-ycar-olds the difference was
a quarter of a pound n day against tho
grades, showing TINT the steady average
gain is greater among the pure breds
than among grades. A good point, Is
it not also a good point that until the
age of three is reached the fine grade
steer may be us probably raised as the
pure bred? This being the case. why

PROBABLY LOST.

Indications Point To the Loss of tho
Steamcr Erin, With All On Board.
The National line steamer Greece, which
arrived ut London from New York, reports
that she saw nothing on the passage Of the
same lines steamer Erin, which sailed
from New York, Dec. 90 for London and
which has not yet arrived. 1t is feared
that she is lost.
A still later dispatch from Dondon adds:
The fears concerning the safety of the
Erin have been greatly augmented by a
report made by the British steamer Creole,
Mt Bremen, just arrived from New Orleans.
The Creole on Jan. o saw u steamers life
boat adrift, bearing the name Erin.
The Creole brought q boat along
side and took from it ten
ash oars, mast and sail. A life buoy,
steamer bridge and awning were also seen
floating near tho life boat. The Erin had
on board a load of cattle in pens, and a
general cargo, including cotton, between
decks. She carried no passengers. The
Erin was commanded by Capt. Tyson and
had a crow of sixty or seventy men and
about fifteen cattlemen.

There is no animal that will pay bet
ter for his keep on the farm than sheep.
They are hardy, easily kept, will eat al
most anything. and there is always a
market for their wool and mutton. The
great failure consists in trying to keep
too many, and in not giving them proper
care and proper food. Fifteen Or
run with the cows, and taken up Mt
night along with the cattle, and given
the same attention as the former receive,
will he q source of profit every time.
Sheep grazing with cattle will rarely be
attacked by dogs, rs the cattleswill act
as their guardians and will readily como
to the sleeps assistance. They are VAL
liable for clearing out bushes, briars
aud noxious weeds, and / know of no
better way of cleaning up rough pieces
of ground than to pasture said pieces
with cattle and sheep, giving them adj
ditional food, such as mill feed and q
little oil meal every day in long, narrow
troughs placed i'll such pastures, Such
land IN a few years can be pretty thor
oughly clennsed of all filth, and what
ever stumps or stones may be there can
be gotten o at the farmers leisure,
whereas. it the piece had to be cleared
by days labor, it would probably cost as
much rs the land wouldbe worth to do it.
In buying sheep it is very important
to get healthy stock. Therefore, before
buying examine the feet to see that
there is no foot-rot. their fieeccs to see
that they have not the scab, and their
teeth to see that they are not old and
worn out. The hampshire down is
about the best breed to have, MS they
arc extremely hardy, of good size. pro.
duce fine, well-developcd lambs. and
are very docjle and do we'll to run with
cattle.
Tho main point is to have cool,
roomy and dry pens for them to go in
at night or rainy or snowy weather.
Some farmers contend that rain and
snow don't hurt them, MS their tleeces
keep them dry; but l notice that all such
men have poor success with sheep. and,
i'll fact. with any animal they may have.
Bright clover hay is the best food for
sheep. along with about one-half pint
OF shclled corn and oats mixed together
and fed to each ono as the mornings
meal. Good. clean, bright corn fodder
is also excellent, us is also fresh ont
straw cut when not too ripe and fed
once a day. They should hive a dry
pen to go i'll ut night andtlis penshould
be supplied every day with some dry
straw-not too much. but just enough to
keep their coats dry and clean. My
plan is to clean out the shecpp pen often.
MS whenever the manure accumulates
the IL commences to heat, and it
doesn't take long then before that banc
of the sheep farmer-foo t-rot-makes
its appearance.
