Baby's second summer is always the
most trying. 1t is cutting it's teeth, and
the irritation combined with the heat
makes iifc no easy matter for the poor
Ilttie thing. 1t must be carefully
watched, and its ailments nationally
treated II 1t is to be carried successfully
through this dangerous season.
baby iii the country, with all the
advantages OF fresh air and good milk
IS under the best conditions possible to
resist the effects OF the heat. Yet the
country, like everything else, has it's
countcr-bnlancing disadvantages, and
often one of these is the distance from
doctor Before leaving town the
mother should ask her family physician
1or few powders of pcpsin and bis
mutl, or any simple remedy he may
wish to prescribe for indigestion, with
full directions for its use. She shonld
take with her Il bottle of limcwater and
another of pancrcatin, or one of the
other preparations for pcptonizing
milk, so that she may be prepared for
emergencies.
The purity of milk, even in the best
surroundings, is always open to ques-
ton, because it absorbs germs so read
lily That used for food for n baby
should be stcrilizcd to make it perfectly
safe. This can be done in the mornino
and evening by putting the milk, fresh
from the COW, in bottles of a size to
hold enough for one meal each. Place
these in saucepan flied with cold
water and set it on the stove where it
will heat gradually. After the water
boils for a short time, cork tic bottles
and let them remain in it for half an
hour. Remove from tho stove, and
when the water is cool take out the bot
ties. If no ice is to be had, stand them
in stone jar containing water, and
wrap the jar in wet flannel, or put it in
brook in n shady place. When a bot
tie is opened and all the milk is not
used, throw away the remainder.
If. in spite of care in feeding, the
bowels become disordercd, boil rice UNI
til very soft, strain the liquid from it
and add the same quantity of sterilizcd
milk. Sometimes one tablespoonful of
lilncwatcr to six of milk will correct
the difficulty
Keep the baby in the open air as
much rs possible, but do not have it out
in the evening when the dew is falling.
If q hammock is slung in the shade it
will sleep better there during the day,
covered with mosquito net, than it
will in q hot room.
Dress it loosely, with q gauze flannel
shirt next the skin, and no tight bands.

Every Nun 10 lis Trade.

An eminent merchant attributes
many of the failures of men who have
always stood high in business circles.
and have been regarded as heretofore
successful, to the fact that success in
one line Of business led them to con-
slider themselves infalliblc and invinci-
bic, and TO believe they could succeed
as well in untricd fields, as in the bust
ness which had brought them fortune.
Ambitious to be considered great finan-
ciers frequently leads wealthy mer-
chants into spcculations which soon
dissipatc fortunes accumulated by
years of devotion to business which
they were perfect masters Of Every
man to his trade is good motto. and
If all would adopt it, there would be
fewer failures, of men foolsh.enough
TO risk fortunes made in business of
which they knew everything, in bust
ness of which they knew nothing

may say in explanation to those
who do not know London that there
are two great bus companies in the
metropolis-thc London Road Car Co.,
which is the newest, and the London
General Omnibus Co., which is the old
est. Besides these regular vehicles
There are number of private buses.
Now, as there appears TO be no law
regulating bus fares, the private bus
seems to be able to charge what it likes
and it does
fareS III London are Il well known
quantity and the man who takes bus
doesn't look very closely nj the outside
OF 1T except to see where il is going.
These private buses, which are rencr-
ally known as pirates, fix themselves
up i'll such Il way us to deceive the eve
even OF Il man who is looking for them.
For instance: Where the London Cen
eral Omnibus Company has the sign
'London General Omnibus Company"
the pirate bus, which runs to the post
Office, 'will have in exactly the same
space the words London General =.
and then in small lcttcrs-''Post Office, 4"
which the same is calculated to deceive
the very elect.

pirate buses the other day, and until 1
came near the street at which I in
tended to get off did not recognize the
fact The bus was crowded full, both
inside and out, and ! took the last seat
that was vacant on top. Just before
coming to my street the conductor
mounted the top of the bus for fares. I
rendered him penny, which was the
correct fare.
''Twopencc, please" SAID the con-
ductor

the fare is twopcncc"
Nonsense" l answered. ''thc fare is
a penny from Whatyoucallit circus

Yes, perhaps that is so. replied the
conductor blandly, but this is Il private
bus and the fare is twopcncc."
Then | won't pay it." said. At the
words private bus" every man on top
of the omnibus looked up and saw that

the conductor, ''or I'll summon YOU"

Some That Are Ecttcr Than Those

There are great many excellent

is one Of the most ctIicacious of these.
The healing effects of lettuce are we'll

tender lettuce to fill two cups; add it to
cup of melted mutton tallow. Let
the lettuce cook in the mutton tallow
Tor about ten minutes; then strain tho
cream through chccsccloth straincr
into clean carthcn bowl. A little
essence Of violet may be added for per-
fumc if you wish.
camphor ice is one of the best
preparations for chappcd hands. Take
three drachms Of camphor gum, three
drachms of white bccswax, three
drnchms of spcrmaccti and two ounces
of olive oil. Put them III n cup on the
stove where they will melt slowly and
form white ointment. Ii the hands
arc very severely chappcd, it may be
necessary to annoint them with this
preparation and, put on Il pair of soft

finger tips of the gloves, however, to
allow ventilation. The practice of
