How TO Clotho the Baby.

A baby's clothes should be sufficiently
long to cover its feet, but without the su-
perabundant length that we are accus-
toned TO see it wearing. The dress should
not be low pecked, for that exposes the
throat and chest, aud flannel should be
worn next the skin The long clothes
should be discarded, if It We're for no other
reason than harboIing dirt. Such clothes
do not serve the purpose of keeping the
heat of the body. Besides, it is an extra
expense, which, with poor people, is a con-
sideration.
But baby is growing, and soon it reaches
a period-tbat of shortening-which marks
an epoch in babyhood. Then what do we
find? The child wears frock. low necked
reaching little lower than the knees, and
the sleeves are tied up with pieces of rib
bon Such a dress at once exposes the
arms legs. throat and chest to draughts,
and it is small wonder if the most disas-
tro1la results follow. And TO finish the
costume baby wears the merest sembance
of sock, that still leaves the legs bare, or
more frequently it wears no socks at all.
BY law of nature it Is well known that
small bodies cool more readily than larger
bodies. Here, then, at a time when the
child should be kept specially warm, the
best means of cooling it are afforded by
improper clothing.-Mrs. F. c. Pressler.

The only way to keep boy's hair healthy,

Modern italian Young Women,

In the middle classes fine dressing out OF
doors has to be combined with an ability
(real or supposed for keeping house. Fond
malnmas regale young men with stories Of
their daughters prowess in cooking in a
manner worthy of Goldsmith's Mrs.
Primrose and have even been known to
set the hopeful young women to sweeping
and cleaning as soon as the expected ring
was heard at the door, in order that the
hesitating aspirant might be broughtto a
declaration by the sight of the girls capac-
ity as menial servant. Under these cir
cumstapces marriage becomes simply an
escape from intolerabie dreariness.
The idea of choosing husband to whom
she can prove q faithful wife rarely enters
the Italian girls head Sho must be mar
ried that she may be free Some man Of
her acquaintance thinks she makes good
figure in the society he frequents, finds
that her dowry is sufficiently large, and
tired of "living'' or DESTROYS of settling
down proposes for her hand. The young
wife, II she belongs to the upper classes,
finds herself suddenly in the possession of
unbounded liberty. Her chief duty is to
act as n sort of clothes peg, that the world
may praise her husbands liberality. She
can now go out alone, and having little to
do at home, spends most Of her time call
ing, promenading and gossiping. - St.

How to XIII Off Ants.

Ordinarily in households the red ant is
not u nuisance from the actual loss which
il coures by consuming food products but
from its inordinGte faculty of getting into
lLipss. 1t is attracted by almost every
thing in the house, from sugar to shoe
polish, ana from bath sFongas to dead cock
roaches. 1t seems to breed with enormous
fccundity, ana the incidental killing off Of
Il thousand or so has little eifsct upon the
apparent number. A house badly infested
with these creatures is almost uninhabit
able. They form their nests in almost any
secluded spot, between the walls, on under
the floors, or behind the base boards, or
