In lifting a child both hands should be
used, and so placed as to clasp the body
about the waist, or hips. and the body
raised without any force being exelted
upon the arms.
Egerv day upon our streets can be seen
little children Just able to toddle along,
who have TO be carried across the streets
and over or around distractions; and the
torture that they oitentimes have to un-
dergo from the thoughtlessness of those
to careful observer who feels for then.
Usually, with a hand grasped by the
mother or other persons caring ~ for the
child, it is hurried along faster than its
little legs can carry it, portion of its
weight being lifted and causing a constant
strain upon the arm; when crossing is
reached the mother takes a stronger pull,
the child bangles By one arm until the or
posite side is reached, and then the feet
ATE allowed TO partly rest upon the ground
again. Sometimes the process will be
varied by two persons taking the child
between them, aud each taking a hand.
when tie weight of the child will be d.
yided between two arms, which is only
one balf as bad. But such practices should
never be allowed. The arms of a child
were never intended to serve as handles
Tor the purpose of lifting or carrying.
Strains, disoeations and fractures, caus-
ing dsformity and imperfect use Of arm or
shoulder or both, result from such car less
use of the arms Of child, which were de-
signed for the child's use in doing things
within its strength. It would be impos-
sible for child weighing thirty pounds to
SO exert its strength as to lift that amount
with one or even both hands, and yet that
is what it is compelled to do when the
arms are made the handles whereby .hs
child is lifted. .--"Hfnts about HEATH. :. in

FEMALE sUrFRAGEIN OUR STATE.

''The records inform us. that New Jersey
WAS the only State in the early history Of
the Republic, that gave its women the
political franchise
The Women of New Jersey, voted for
thirty years, prior to the year 1907. both
white aud eelored women being eitizsns.
A money qualification was required from
both sexes. Do you ask why she was de.
priyed of this privilege? am told because
she cast her osllos unanimously for John
Quincy Adams, and the opposite party
saw in her dangerous element. seeing
that she always will put in the best man,
when she has the power.
The present status is this; New Jersey is
the only state east Of the Mississippi river,
where married mothers have equal rights
with the fathers to their children. Women
have right also. to their inherited or ac-
cumulated property. They have school
suffrage in q limited sense: it is granted in
all the rural districts, but different stat
ntory provision prevents its use in the large
cities. That all these benefits have been
gained through our male Legislators, who
have never been publicly solicited for such
favors, is cause for gratitude 30 the coed
men who have had our interests at heart,
bat, while We are not numindful of these
favors, we will not rest satisfied until our
lost privilege has been restored. .n-Sarah

BEWARE OFFArEGuE.

Fatigue should not be treated as light
matter. Women often say: Il am per
fectly well, only get tired easily" Then
you are not perfectly well. You need rest,
care and possibly medical treatment. Try
the rest first and set your mind free from
worries aud restraints With tie rest,
take noutishing food, not toass of n, c
sity, but instead Of waiting till luncheon
take cup of beef tea during the forenoon;
between luncheon aud dinner an egg lem.
onade or glass Of milk aud a cracker
Do not exact from yourself work which
you do not feel equal to; make it rule tt
lie down two hours each afternoon, aud gC
to bed early. Keep this treatment up fol
three months, with all the out.of door III,
that YOU feel equal to, and yeu will realizt
what rest can do. The tired feeling
means that you need rest; it is as sure an
Indication as that olock needs winding
when it runs down.-Bostoa Trareler.

A traveller on u dusty road strewcd acorns on
the lea,
And one took root and sprouted up. and grew
into tree.
Love sought its shade at evening time to
breathe its carly VOWS,
And age was pleased in heats of noon to basis
beneath its bouehs;
Tho dormouse loved its dangling tYigs, tho
birds sweet music bore;
1t stood a glory in it5 place, a blessing ever
more.
y little spring had lost its way amid the grass
and fern,
A passing stranger sceoPed a well where weary
men might turn;
he walled it in, and hung with care a ladle at
the brink;
He thought not of the deed he did, but judged
that toll might drink.
He passed again, and 10! the well. By summers
never dried,
Had cooled ten thousand parching tongues, and
saved life beside.

The Woman of Today.

Let others sing the praises of the Woman Of
the Past
Or eanonize the Woman of the Future coming
fast.
Istring my Tyre for neither. No, lift my littlo
lay,
And sing my song to celebrate the Woman Of
Today.
The Woman of the Past was good, and better
still may be
The Woman of the Future; but, oh. good enough
for me
The girl who thro' the inazes of the Present
works her way,
And stands, III her integrity, the Woman of
Today.
Upon the worlds great stage sho plays roles
many and divcrse
But tho she may in politics her pretty head
immcrsc,
Or seek the pulpit or the bar, still shines the
sacred ray
OF love around the hearthstone of the Woman
Of Today.
No pent up Utica confines her powers. Tho
prejudice
Still prowls about her path, no work that's
worthy comes amiss;
She may not vote. but ballots fall obedient to
her sway;
The conscience of the country'5 in the Woman
of Today.
She has her faults. Spots big and black the
suns bright face do blur;
But who could live without its light. or with it
lacking her?
Against her follies and her fads let other folks
inyeigh,
Icelebratc the virtues Of the Woman of Today.

How HAVE wHITEHAxps.

However much man's hand may re-
semble ham Ia shape and coioring,
lady's hand is expected to be thing of
beauty. lady should have beautifully
white hands and no mistake If the skin
be naturally white very little care is re-
quired to preserve IT. A good soap aided
by finch or two of cracked oatmeal,
may be used for a thorough cleansing
tsice day; and, If netdful. to still further
cleanse them, warm @ater-not hot-siiI
do the necessary work. 0nce week they
should be rubbed front and back between n
the fingers. and all ith piece of lemon.
If these exquisitely " bite hands are inclined
to chap, eamphor ice may be applied at
night and white gloves used to increase the
soittniny effect. The best camphor ice
is home made preparation of pure white
wax melted and stirred to the consistency
of cream, with the addition of several
drops OF eamphor Holes should always
be cut in the palms of the gloves to allow
ventilation. For distressingly red hands
equal parts of slycerine, lemon juice and
rose W water NAV be applied nightly under
gloves. Daily applications of lemon Juice
are sure TO rrodues whitening effect.
Tight sleeves aud suugiy fitting fuger
rings are frequent source of red hands.
and the Only remedy for this is to remove
the irritating cause. Smooth white hands
may be difficult to acquire, but they are
certainly within the reach of all who care
for them sufi ;iently to make the effort re-
anired TO secure them.

And bear the burdens of the hour
With eheerfulness and beauty.

That lift the poor and lowly,
And teach us by their kindlincss
y lesson pure and holy.
And raptures for tho glowing arms
That clasp with loving sweetness,
A world of JOY and tenderness
In beautiful completeness.
And rest unto the weary arms

Twinc round our dear returning ones.
And thrill again with gladness!

Where hopes, like birds, have nested;

Where darling ones have rested,
