1t is a difficult matter to describe what
care should be taken Of the parlor, for
each individual has a special taste of fur
nishing and decorating, which seems to be
the entertaining subject among many
women. This room, although little oc-
cupied, requires v~entilatinR every morn
ing, and the shutters should be allowed
10 remain open through the entire
day. The same advice may be applied
to the bedroom or chamber with a little
more emphasis, and an earnest plea for
plenty of fresh air, and a greater welcome
extended to the purifying rays of the
ascending sun.
1t is an unhealthy practice for elderly
people to sleep in the same bed with chill.
dren, and as few as possible should be con-
fined in the one room. No fire, heat. nor
light Of any kind should be burned all
night. for they impoverish the air and I'M
questionably feed upon our very v~itsls."
Cold, damp beds are extremely dangerous,
and no one should enter the chilling sheets
without first having wrapped themselves
securely in a good woolen blanket.
The housemRid should never forget to
turn the mattresses in the morning and TO
thoroughly air the sheets, quilts and pill
lows. Water that has stood in a bedroom
over night is not considered pure, and
must therefore be used for washing pur-
poses only. The spare room should be
cleaned ard heated at least once a week, to
prevent the settling OF a killing dampness.

poor fire, Sometimes, it is true, economy
must be closely studied, where the stove

wife will spend much care and labor in the
preparation of some elaborate dish, and
then spoil the whole by attempting to cook
it with an indifferent fire. Although more
or less cooks burn their food, the greatest
evil seems to arise from too slow a fire, so
that from the oven emerge soggy pie crust,
heavy cake and partially cooked roasts.
A well beaten omelet is spoiled because,
the fire being low, the cook does not wait
for the frying pan to become thoroughly
heated, trusting to "luck' that it will

1t Is notable that fever or any infiRmmA-
tory diseases will produce u much greater
acceleration of pulse in a child than in an
adult. Often "a slight attack of indigestion,
which a man would not notice, will make
a baby's pulse run very high; and there is
often eXacerbation toward evening. An
irregular Intermittent pulse is indicative
OF fully developed meningitis and other
severe organic diseases of the brain. But
sometimes IL comes from disease OF the
heart, and to decide its cause one must be
careful to consider other symptoms.
The baby's stomach is very small in pro
portion to its size. and the intestinal diges-
ton very rapid. Therefore, during the
first few months of its life it takes very
little God at a time. II by any chance the
stomach is overloaded nature resists, and
the contents are simply thrown up. IL is
important, then. hat IA mother should
know that when milk comes up infer
mented, just as the child has swallowed IL,
the stomach has taken in more than 1t can
hold, and there need not be necessarily any
difficulty with the food.
Besides, it is a fnct that the liver, which
is very large in proportion to the size OF
the child, sometimes presses against the
stomach, II the baby is laid on the left side
after nursing, and this compression may
cause vomiting; 80 it Is wise always to
have a new born baby, indeed any child
not large enough to urn itself, laid first
on its right side to sleep. This makes
room for the stomach, and prevents any
pressure Upon the heArt.-Dr. Julia Holmes

Mrs. Clay, Of Kentucky, is an earnest ad-
vocate of farming enterprise for self sup
porting women who have also IA family OF
children to support. She says:
For onthe farm she will not have to leave
her children in order to make her
but can give them her personal attention.
There are nelghborhoOd public schools 10
which they can be sent. Each child can
have an interest in the farm, and take part
in making 1t productive. The pigs, calves,
etc, the boys can care for; the fowls can
be cared for by the girls, and both can help
In the garden and yard and keep the flow
ers In order. By a fruit and vegetable gar
den, with bees and fowls, a woman can
support her children comfortably, and get
their clothing and groceries In exchange,
have a healthy employment, pure fresh air
to breathe, keep her children free from the
~polluting influences of the street, and have
no rent gatherer call IN her when her
purse Is low.
The expenses for clothing and fuel are
less, and it Is not necessary TO have so much
cash on hand. She can keep a cow for milk
and butter, a horse and spring wagon to
carry her fruit and vegetables to market,
and the family to church II too FAR out to
walk. The slops and waste from garden and
kitchen will fatten hogs enough for meat
and lard There is nothing about farming
that a woman may not learn TO do, and it
seems to me a thousand times preferable
to living in a tenement house, in a foul,
close street, on a scant income. with stale
meat and vegetables to eat. Few persons
in calculating the profits OF a farm axe
into account the living that a good farmer
can have, and at SO small a cost.
l would advise no one to buy a farm be
fore she is able to pay for It, or at least half
of it. Better buy less, and as you have the
means add to it. I would rather have
fewer acres of good, productive land, well
situated, than twice the number OF acres Of
poor land 1t takes just so much labor to
till an acre. and good land well titled pro-
duces twice as much as poor lane well
titled. II a woman is able to live comfort
ably and give her children a good educa-
ton in the common schools and keen her
home, she has done we'll Few persons do

But 81 far as our own senators are con
cerncd, we fell iust this way. In the
language Of a gentleman from Cheyenne,
WI will wager our existence that Senator
Warren will land on his feet, and that the
members OF the Wyoming delegation
knew what they were abont in voting
against the free coinage measure, and that
the outcome will indicate their judy
ment We dom think that they will be
found to have made A mistake this time.
And We are willing to believe, without
arguing the real question at issue, that
their customary GOOD sense and Judgment
will be shown to have not been at fault.
THIS COB Of sentimental Oush is OK
tracted from the editorial columns OF the
Lander Clipper. The childlike faith ex-
hibited is quite refreshing Tor this prac.
tical age. To follow out the logic to its
natural conclusion, If Carey and Warren

%cussing the merits Of the question aud

dence OF it, own senses. What a strange
position for any newspaper to place itself

it Is blind as a mole on a
burning question Of the DAY, aud that it
accepts as high minded and patriotic
actioas which its own Investigations would
prove were STEPPED in s~elishness to the
core.
And yet is the subscryieut Clipper
singular among the Republican press of
Wyoming in it's attitude on the silver
question? By no means. Therei ia barely
a Republican newspaper in Wyoming
which is not cringing and fawning at the
heels of Carey and Warren at this very
moment, commencing something which
in their hearts they must know is n blow
at the very existence Of every laboTing
man in the country.
What a sad commentary on the depths
