4 royal baby's first toilet in Arabia
consists an winding baadage about its
body after it has been bathcd and per-
fumed. The little creature is then
placed on its back. its arms and feet are
Strengthened. and the entire body is
swathed to the shoulders.
In this position it remains motiouless
for forty DAYS, but the bandage is re-
moved twice day that the child may
have bath. The Arabs believe that
this process will make the body straight
for life. Under such circumstances it
seems fortunate that babyhood is not a
period which can be remembered in
after year, for nobody would choose to
suffer such days of misery again, even
in recollection.
IL the child be girl, on the seventh
day after her birth holes, usually six in
number, are pricked in her ears, and
when she is two months old heavy gold
rings are attached to them, to be worn
throughout her lifetime. except during
periods of mourning for relatives.
On the fOrtieth day the baby's head is
shaved. This operation is considered
a very important one. and thirty or
forty persons are witnesses of it, for the
pc Torrance of certain rites.
the disposal of the first hair is re-
garded as very weighty matter; it
must not be burned or carelessly
thrown away. but buried. thrown into
the sea, or hidden in some crevice of
wall.

age, and girls still longer. The favor

by man who made ditching his BUSH

Its special value consisted in the two
side points, with the main one in the
center These could be made to cut the
ditch SMOOTHLY and at precisely the
right width. 1t was made wholly of
iron and steel, and weighed seventy
five pounds. The face of the middle
point was three-fourths of an inch wide,

Hydrophobia a Great Rarity.

A case of genuine hydrophobia is said
to be really a great rarity. London
doctors came to this conclusion several
years ago DIR. n. S. Davis, of Chicago,
an ex-president of the American Medic
al Association. and practitioner o.
many years experience, said recently
that he had never seen but one case OF
supposed hydrophobia. In all cases of
dog bite he had directed patients to
keep the wound covered by a cloth
saturated with a solution of carbolic
acid and hyposulphite of soda. and to
take in water ten grains Of the n.y.
posulphite Of soda three times day,
continuing it three or four weeks.
This treatment he had used for twenty
years, and he had never lost case.
The result would seem to indicate more
favorable features than NJ. Pasteur's
method. -Indianapoiis Journal

POULTRY NOTES.

WHEN you see chicks droop, look for
lice.
TURKEY hens attain maturity earlier
than the gobblers.
THE White Plymouth Rocks are hav-
ing a steady boom.
PoULTY should be sent to market in a
fat and attractive style.
The chickens that eat the most grit
are in the best condition.
A TURKEY gobbler is in the prime OF
life at three years of age.
WHEAT bran is one of the most valu-
able ingredients in egg food.
FARMERS should at least keep enough
fowls to pay the grocery bill
You've chicks are benefit to the gar
den. but keep out the old ones.
LICE do not fancy wading aP TO their
chins in fine dry ashes and lime over
walls and roosts- 1t is well to have two
sets of roostiny poles. Change every
few days. keeping one set out in the
weather all the time.

HOUSEKEEPING SCHOOLS
a German Idea That Deserves "a Trial Il
the United states.

German Idea That Deserves Trial In
the United States.
United States Consul Monaghan, at
Mannheim. Germany, gives. in recent
report, an account of the German house,
keeping schools which are to be found
in every town, city and district of the
mpire. While German boys are being
taught Greek, Latin, mathematics and
military exercises, the girls almost
everywhere are learning to be good,
careful, saving, industrious wives and
mothers. The consul says:
1t is astonishing how carefully, clean
ly, tirelessly, happily they work, sing
ing all the time some lullaby song of
Schiller or other national poet. Order
is Germaa housewives first law The
scholars go to these schools, not as to a
task, but as to a playground, with zest
and interest.
The instruction is both practical and
theoretical, and deals not only with
cooking in all its branches. but with the
nutritious qualities of various foods, the
care of the sick. nursing and caring for
children, household arithmetic, written
and mental, sewing by hahd and with
machine, ironing, mending, knitting,
dress-making. and all the processes Of
dairying and vegetable gardening.
Girls are not admitted to these schools
until they are sixteen, when their
ordinary education is supposed to be-
completed. There are two courses, one
in summer and one in winter. The sum-
mer course begins May 1, and continues
until harvest time The winter begins
in November. and continues until
Easter, with two weeks vacation at
Christmas and New Years.
Most of the girls are boarding pupils.
and pay one mark-abOut twenty-five
cents--a day for board. They follow
rigid routine, rising on worx-days at
half-past five, and on Sundays and holt
days at six o'clock. AS soon as they are
dressed they attend morning prayer,
each according to her own faith.
Then they make their own beds-in
the art of doing which they are care
fully instructed-and prepare their
breakfast. For the rest of the day work
goes on very much as in private house
hold
The schools are divided into classe
according to proficiency Certain hours
are set apart to lessons in nursing,
culinary chemistry and other branches
of knowledge useful to a housewife.
There is constant care TO develop char
acter and p;ety. Evening prayer and
''going to bed como at half-past nine.
The graduates of these schools do not
need dowry to help them along in the
world. Consul Monaghan says:
ANY thing more than a mere idea Of
the good done it is not in the power of a
pen to give. / have seen young girls
from eighteen TO twenty-five take charge
Of large households, upcrintending the
buying, arranging, cooking and serving
of meals and hundred household du
ties. These schools give training to all
classes, and fit girls to fill almost any
station in life, whether of wife or house
keeper, cook or general servaat They
deserve trial in the United States. -
