A physician in childs' hospital ex-
presses the opinion that babies generally
are not supplied with sufficient water, the
fluid portion of their food being quickly
taken up, leaving the solid too thick to be
easily digested. In warm, dry weather,
healthy babies will take water every hour
with advantage, and their frequent fretfuI-
ness and rise of temperature is often
directly due TO their not having it. A free
supply of water and restricting the fire.

of mortality and marked reduction in the
number of gastric and intestinal com

A Novel Treatment in Which Ice Is the
Principal Remedy.
The Provincial Medical Journal tells of
a treatment for diphtheria, based upon an
energetic use of ice, which is perseveringly
applied both externally and internally. Ice
bags are to be kept on the neck, care being
particularly taken that the swollen glands
are directly in contact with the ice, which
is to be constantly renewed Simultane-
ously the patients drink iced water by
means of bent glass tube, and pieces of
ice are kept in the mouth. OF course
wine or sirup or any favoring agent may
be added to the water Chlorate of potas-
sium is also given internally in small doses.
The author of the system believes that the
use of baths and antipyretics is useless, but
the adoption of strengthening diet, in
cluding wine, is q matter of course. Ex-
perience with this method exclusively dur
ing sixteen years has convinced DIR. Mayer
of its value; none of his patients died, and
only rarely was the larynx involved

One Thing and Another.

DR.. Chase, in writing upon the use of
foods, makes the statement that if man
addicted to the use of intoxicants will eat
an orange half an hour before breakfast
every morning for three weeks he will lose
all taste for liquor and gain in health and
strength.
The real value of milk and butter and
cheese as foods is only half appreciated in
America. In the old countries, where meats
are rarely on the table of the middle and
poorer classes, milk and cheese are leading
articles of food

QUESTION ASKING.
A Useless and Disagreeable Habit Some
times Innocently Indulged In.

A Useless and Disagreeable Habit Some
times Innocently Indulged In.
The English have an old proverb to the
effect that those who ask no questions will
be told no lies. 1t would be well to bear
this surly old proverb ever in mind when
tempted to make idle inquiries advises
Harper's Bazar which has the following to
say on the subject:
We may have no bad motives when ask
ing Mrs. A. how she became acquainted
with Mrs. B.; we may not, in fact, care
much about the matter; but it has occurred
to us to wonder how, why and where lady
of such elegance and fashion as Mrs. A.
should have become so intimate with the
humble and unattractive Mrs. b. that the
one can rarely be met without the other.
So far no harm has been done. As we
have asked no questions, no mischievous
surmises have been set afoat, and no rude
ness has been committed. 1t may be that
neither woman would object to making
known the origin of their friendship; but
it may also be that to tell it would be to
unfold along story of sorrow or misfortune.
Every one detests the scandalmonger,
but his occupation would be gone without
the aid of the questioner The latter's
motives may be innocent, but the results
of his vulgar impertinence are often disas-
trous. Every one who feels in himself
rising inquiry in regard to the private af-
fairs of others should crush it. Parents
should use every effort to divert the nat
ural curiosity of their children into useful
and elevating channels.
A little girl of eight years stood squarely
before visitor of her mothers, her large
blue eyes staring unfalteringly while she
asked, as if the answers were her due:
"You were away from home last week,
Mrs. M. Where did you go? Whom did
you go to see? What did you go for? Did
Mr.. M. go with your Why didn't he go2
Why did you stay so longS"
And so on and on, the visitor mean
while making frantic efforts to maintain
conversation with the child's mother, who
herself had a most painful time of it, di-
vided as she was between her own curiosity,
which was keen as that of her child, and a
half perception of the impoliteness of the
interrogatory.
Having returned to her own home Mrs.
NJ began examining herself in regard to
her own methods with her children.
''Have l ever suffered them," she de-
manded of herself, "to ask questions in
regard to matters which do not concern
them?" A low voice sounded in her heart
with painful clearness: eyes, have, and
worse. There is hardly Il day in which
have not asked useless and sometimes even
impercinent questions of my own family
and intimate friends, even if have not
been thus impolite to chance acquaint-
Gnces." If more of rs listened frankly to
the accusations of conscience, the number
of i'll bred questioners would speedily
diminish. A friendly interest receives con-
fidences with pleasure and guards them
with care. It neither demands nor. reveals.

Tom craig's wonderful Pig.


Our friend, Jacob Staff, sends us the
following, and assures us that it is gem
uine article:
"The owners of fox dogs in Harrison
county have all been telling about their
fine dogs and their achievements; but
CAPTAIN Tom Craig now comes to the
front with q story Of pig that discounts
all the dog yarns that the fox dog own
ers have been spinning. Captain Craig,
being accosted with this scribes usual
salutation-'tell me something said: L
have q fox dog that l want to tell you
about. He is of the f'root-hog-or-die"
species, and is about 8 months old, and
was present to my little boy from my
neighbor, Henry Stevens. He is a com
mon looking speckled pig, and has been
raised pet with the puppies. He eats
and sleeps with them, and when l go
hunting he goes too, and win stay out
with us three hours at time.
"'It would amuse you to see him cir
cling to come in and head the dogs when
they get to far ahead of him. OF course
he cannot keep up with them when they
are running fast. The other night we
were out hunting and the pig got be-
hind, but he cut in and soon caught us,
and was with us at the tree. l would
have paid good price for picture of
the scene at this tree. The dogs laid
down, one of them drawing bed of
leaves around him. The pig went and
laid down with him, putting his head on
the dogs forefeet, which were crossed." I"

A Preparation for the Bath.

Those who are troubled with offensive
perspiration would do we'll when talking
a bath to use a preparation made as fol-
lows: Take of soap powder and powdered
borax each one-half ounce; essence of
bergamot six drains; oil of lemon and
oil of neroli, of each two drains; oil Of
rosemary, thirty drops; altar of roses,
five drops.
Or, if this is too expensive the drug
gist can use the soap and borax and sub
stitute cheaper perfumes. The oils should
be we'll rubbed with these bases in q
mortar and put into bottle, which
should be kept corked and in a cool place.
One-half to one tablespoonful may be
added to an ordinary bathtub full of
water. This will be sufficient for clean
illness; at the same time it will prove an
admirable deodorizer. Boston Herald.

Good Machines and Poor Work men.

1t does not pay to fit up a shop with
poor machinery if you want good work,
nor do you want to put bad work men in
charge of your expensive tools. You are
doing things by halves, introdr lcing a
bull into your china shop, and playing
with fire in manner that is .cel tain to
result in burned fingers. Good M achines
will never do good work in the bands Of
poor mechanics, and although q good
workman will often do wonders with
the poorest of tools, the combi nation is
not economical, and is usually unsatis-
factory to employer and employed. Good
tools operated by competent mechanics
last longest, do the best work, produce
in every way the most SO .tisfactory re-
suits, and are always ch eapest in the
long run.-Safety Valve.

Forests and Pure Air.

A Partisan scientist while testifying to
the greater purity of the air in the vicinity
of forests, does not attribute the cause to a
greater richness in oxygen-the quantity
of the latter being the same in the at
mosphere of woods as in plains, but to
the absence of those agents which vitiate
the atmosphere of towns. When forests
are not surrounded by marshes, a well
treed region is next to exempt from epi-
denies. Versailles is case in point. 1t
is surrounded by a screen of forests; epi-
denies are unknown, yet the city has a
most wretched water.
