HE RARY.

Nothing is more important to the health
of r young infant than plenty of outdoor
air-in the middle of the day in winter,
early in the morning aud in the evening in
summer, and whenever it is pleasant and
not too cold and damp or too sunny ia au-
tumn and spring There are some very
windy days in spring, when it is iast as
well, if the windy 'tspell'' does not last
more than day, to keep the baby indoors.
" ind storm is far more dangerous than
rain. While no one would advise taking a
baby out airing in pelting rain, it is bet
ter to take him out in slight snow storm
or ''msre sprinkle of raia thaa to keep
him ''cooped up in the foul air of an
unventilated nursery.
Bathing should be begun from the day
of birth. Let no foolish old wife's stories
cause you to omit it. A young infant is
apt to cry at first, bat this is as good exer-
else as be can have at the time, always
provided it is not a severe screaming.
Bathing is a necessity to perfect health, in
the development OF infants. The fact that
certain children, like swine, seem to thrive
in neglect and dirt, is only proof of the
vigor Of their physical nature, which will
exist in apparent health under such In-
wholesome surroundings. Such children
often develop afterwards scrofulous sweat
ings.
1t has been repeatedly proved in tene-
ment districts of large cities that only a
comparatively few of the children. and
those the more vigorous, born in squalor
and dirt, survive When child is restless
at night, a warm bath-about 90 degree
is the right temperature-with cup Of
rock salt Dissolved in it, is wonderfully
soothing. Only pure soap should be
used. A little fine starch is the best baby
powder. II is hardly safe to use any other
powder about young child.-HaR's Jour
nal Of Health.

THEY FORGOT THE BRIDE.

A curious incident happened at a church
wedding 10 this city the other evening. 1t
was a society affair, and at o'clock. the
hour appointed for the ceremony, the
church was crowded with guests. The
minister who was to officiate was there,
also the groom, ushers and bridesmaids,
but the bride was not
Ten minutes after $50 minutes after s,
still no bride appeared, The people in the
church were growing impatient Half
past eight and still no bridel The groom
was very anxious. Had her courage failed
her at the last moment Had she ceased
to love him AID eloped with another MANI
Had her house burned and she perished in
the flames? Had her carriage broken dow n
and injured her?
These were some of the questions that
ran through his mind, leaving their impress
on his face Eight thiriy-fye, The brides
maids bit their lips, tugged nervously at
their ribbons, and unconsoiously despoiled
their boquets. Was she not cominge
Vague rumors ran through the audience,
ard the minister himself, used to all sorts
Of curious things at weddings, began to
wonder at the absence of the bride.
A council Of war was held and it " as de-
cided to send another carriage after her
post haste. Another When the facts be-
came known no carriage at all had been
sent for her Drrin.r all This time tho
drivers supposed that the ceremony had
beecn in progress. During the excitement
the principal factor had been forgotten.
1t is needless TO say that no time was

the nuptial krot was tied and the beiated

Maud has been one of the most valuable
and one Of the most satisfactory additions
to the track ever bred. Although she is
the last, 10 great record holder ever left
the future so full Of hope of further pro-
gress. nor such definite indication as to
the line fer seeking it. Flora came and
went as an unaeeountable phenomenon.
from which there was no instruction to be
gained as to improvement or reproduction.

place, gained better record but added
nothing 10 the science Of breeding trotters
Maud was of another sort. We doubt if
the breaking of any record, even the 2 20
mark, ever created d greater sensation
than her beating of 2 II at her first ap-
pearanee 10 maturity; but Maud accom-
plished far more than that in the obser-
vation of the breeder She as the first
to demonstrate that the highest speed
could come from high blood. and in doing
that she opened up the way to a greater
speed ard to general improvement in the
trotting type such as the experts before
could scarcely dream OF, and knew no road
to. The thoroughbred obtained through
her his most confirmed foundation on the
makeup of the American trotter; and with
the infusion of his peerless strength comes
the ability to carry the great rates to the
miles end, and to make into an actual
achievement what The soon-ended speed
of many low-bred animals had only sur-
gested as a possibility.
The candidate, the only visible eandi-
date, for the honor Of new record is
sunol. We all trust she may get it, and
get it soon, but it will il no whit dim the
Harold mares fame, and WHO knows but
that some day Maud s. will stand higher
as brood mare than as racer?

and is well illustrated by the following an
ecdote: A man had fine cow that, week
after week, was milked alternately by a
couple of hired men. He observed that
the amount of butter he carried weighed
about pound more each alternate week.
He watched the men and tried the COW
after they had finished milking; but always
found that no milk had been left in the
teats. Finally he asked the Scotch girl
who took CAFE of the milk, if she could
account for the difference. "Why. yes.
