1t milk is taken too often it is clear
to be seen that it would be like eating
dinner shortly after breakfast, and
soon following this with lunch, and
| after a brief interval with supper.
There is absolutely nothing that
will satisfy the thirst of babies but
pure, fresh water. And the habit of
| giving it should begin during the
first week OF life. After a baby has
been nursed or fed, a teaspoonful or
water should be put into its mouth
for the purpose of washing away all
traces of the milk.
The quantity Of water should be in
creased as the little one grows older,
and be offered him at frequent inter-
walls. 1t will not be long before he
plainly mauifests when he needs a
drink, and this most wholesome
beverage may always be given him at
such times.
Long crying spells are caused by
thirst, but the mothe rs do not always
recognize the need. Let them try
water at such times. and they will
often find that they have happily
struck the cause.-B0Ston Herald.
The Nineteenth Century Woman.
There is an old belief of the mascu-
line Anglo-Saxon mind that a woman,
to be lovable, should have no marked
individuality. But with the worlds
rapid advance through the Victorian
age, woman has become more than
ever perplexing to the male atom who
poises himself for a moment to make
a study of her. She no longer needs
mans apparel to practice a profession
or to journey forth on foot under the
green leaves of Arden. She has grown
self-reliant and cosmopolitan, equally
at home in the White House or on the
banks of the Neva.
She never plucks daisies and butter
cups nowadays to test her lovers af-
lection by pulling apart their petals.
You find her, instead, arranging or
chids in q glass and making cynical
reflections upon the worthlessness Of
the entire a Individual love or
hate in the opposite sex is apparently
all one to her.-ScfIbne7'S.
Cycling for Women.
Cycling for ome has come to
stay. 1t is no use for doctor, lawyer,
parson or chief to say Thou shalt
not" to the woman of today, while
her conscience approves and her K
p~erience proves that her W way is
right. In days gone by one-half the
opposition already conquered would
have been fatal to the exercise. and
the silent steed would have stood I'M
used, unhonored and unsung. But

What Becomes of Them All:
The reader will naturally ask
What do these nine hundred or more
pupils do after they have left the
school? Where do they come from in
the first place? Whoare they?" The
constituency of the League is made
up from all quarters of the United
States and Canada, and from all man
ner of men and women. Many OF
them are engravers and designers who
seek to improve their work by night
study; many are teachers in schools,
or carrying on decorative work; some
are artists who have. perhaps, started
wrong in the beginning; some are
well-to-do girls who think it advisable
to know some one thing in case they
should some day become dependent
on their own exertions for a liveli-
hood. The great part OF them,
however. are young people
who hope to excel as paint
ers. 1t is unfortunately true that
the most of them never do. Great
success is exceptional in any line, par
ticularly so in art, where the past Is
with us as a standard of comparison.
Yet the training Of the average League
student is not all beauty for ashes"
by any means. The painter is the
better for his instruction, the artisan
and the designer are improved in their
crafts, the teacher expounds her sub
ject more infelligently, and even the
society girl may carry her taste into a
Philistine household, and teach her
parents and brothers that art is of
practical worth in the home, though
It is not precisely what an American
would call business They all go
out to different portions of the
try, and they are all Jesuitical in their
advocacy of art. People lacking in
art knowledge defer to them because
they are specially trained. They
teach art by recommendation, by
opinion. association, and little by
little they disseminate an interest in
the subject, and SOW the seeds of a
future art culture.-Harpesss Nag
