One Example of Many.

l have known instances where dis
trict school teacher in New York
State, where children of school age,
at that time four years, would be sent
to school wearing these diabolical nap
kins, would wear them, together with
their excavations, all day long, with
no change whatever. Whether the
mother changed at once on arrival
home 1 do not know, but this I do
know, many of them needed to be
changed when school opened at nine
o'clock in the morning! Think of the
start in school life with this habit and
such record. There is no more need
for this auxiliary garment than there
is for one fastened securely around the
mouth during the teething period.

Dodge, General Pusey and others, with

Clothing the Lite Tots.

The clothing of infants should be
warm. If born in summer should not
be lessened until after the return of
hot weather the ensuing year; If born
in the winter the clothes may be les
sened in June following, provided the
weather be seasonable, and great care
should be taken to abate the warmth
of their clothing SO gradually that the
difference may not be perceptible to
them. After this is reduced to a proper
standard no alterations should be made
to keep pace with changing atmos-
phere, but an exact uniformity in the
warmth of their habit preserved throu gh
all the seasons of the year, the utility of
which is practically demonstrated by
every experiment.

Dogs n protection.

A dog in the house at night is pro-
lection against fire as well as robbers.
The animal is always on the alert to
warn his master and family of any
thing that may appear to be wrong. If
anything like flames or smoke excite
his attention he will at once begin
barking. The very smell of fire will
start him to giving loud alarm. No.
body knows better than he the danger
of burning. He is always on the
watch as he lies outside his masters
door, for the safety of the household,
and quick to give alarm.

Barbarous Custom of swathing.

Many prudent alterations have been
made of late years in the first dress of
infants, though many more are yet
needed. The barbarous custom OF
swathing is not yet universally ex-
ploded, many old midwives still insist
upon it, and others somewhat less in
furious generally retained. Among
these L will mention the absurd custom
of dividing infants garments into a
multiplicity of pieces, which not only
prolong the uneasy sensations, which
to them always accompany dressing,
but by the unequal pressure of differ.
ent bandages, their shape is often
destroyed or injured, and even their
subsequent health impaired. The en-,
tire wardrobe of an infant should never
consist of over three pieces, there
should be shirt, robe and cap
the two last should be quilted of suffi.
cient thickness to provide the neces,
sary warmth; the cap should be fasten.
ed by band of soft linen under
the chin, sewed on one side
and buttoned on the other. il
knot is thought necessary
for girl baby, this should be first
sewed on to the cap; the robe and shirt
should be made open in front; the
sleeves put into each other, that both
may be put on together, and must be
wide enough in the back to prevent
any difficulty in getting the last arm
through; it should lap over on the
breast, and be fastened by fiat but,
tons (pins are an abhorrence), placed
at different distances, to make the
robe more or less tight, method fai
preferable to strings, as being much
the quickest.

Food for Silk-Morms.

The leaves of white mulberry trees
give the best food for silk-worms.
Trees which are three years old should
give about seven pounds of leaves
apiece. They should be set out as
soon as the frost is thoroughly out of
the ground. An ounce of silk-worms
will consume during their life about
1000 pounds of leaves. The consump-
ton at the beginning is very small.
but becomes quite large toward the
end of their existence. -R,traL Nelo-

able operation to infants, and with
which it has been customary to tor.
ment them for two hours at time,
may be done in two minutes, and in
manner so easy to themselves as
scarcely to occasion a cry, of itself a
matter of much greater consequence
than generally thought. When they
are coated, that may be managed as
expeditiously, and with as much ease,
by tacking the skirts and robe to the
stays, which, instead of lacing, should
be buttoned on; loose plaits may hang
from the top Of the robe, and fall over
these buttons in such o manner as to
make much prettier dress than now
generally seen; and this, continued for
the first two or three years, would not
only contribute much to the regularity
of their growth, but also to the sweet
ness of their temper, which early
teasing is too apt to sour.

A CUSTOM HOUSE.

That there should be a change
in the location of the Custom.
house of this district, has long
since been decided by the people
and the parties interested. But
where to put it is the question.
Towns along our coast are a great
deal like many people-they want
things that they have no need Of,
and which, if granted them, would
be an Inconvenience to those most
interested - therefore they all
want it located at their doors, but
what for no one kno VS., save as an
ornament, for they have nothing
to ship. There lisa place, though,
hat has just claims, and whose
needs should be looked into, and
that place is Scranton, the head
centre of the entire lumber trade
of the coast. i is from here and
Moss Point hat the lumber is cut
and shipped. This is the point at
which masters OF ships must come
to get their loads and orders.
Every year, as the depth of our
passes become better known, more
ard more, and larger and better
ships are coming in In a few
years at most, our superior facili-
ties for anchorage Of large vessels
will be so we'll known that but
few ships will put in elsewhere,
and the Custom house must be
here to accommodate those in .er-
terested,
If our wants wee properly set
