Not n little danger is incurred from
snufiing up accidentally articles in the
nose, where they get lodged aud refuse to
move either one way or the other. Chill
dren are more apt to suffer from this &C
cident than Older people, but there are
many cases Of all ages in the hospital suf-
fering from this complaint. The great
danger is of the article remaining there so
long before il Is removed as to cause swell
ing and inflammation The operation of
removing the article after it has become
very bad is simple, but it often causes
great pain and n Disagreement Of the face
A new way Of removing such articles is
given by medical practitioner. Insert
the nozzle Of n rubber bag In the other
nostril, and close it mp tightly. In the
case of a baby the bag should be squeezed
when the infant is crying. In an older pa
tient make him swallow some water, and
when in the act Of doing this give the bag
"a sudden, quick, hard squeeze Generally
the air will pass back Of the foreign body
and force it out Of the nostril. II Is sim
pie way of removing such bodies from the
nose, and any one can do it should such an
accident happen.-A. s. Atkinson, M. ID.

Clairvoyants seem, after all, not to be an
exclusive product Of the United States. In
the volcanic regions Of South America, es-
pecially in Chill and northern Peru, every
large community has an adivino literally a

proves on our method by short notice pre-
dictions, which have often been fulfilled to
the very hour.
The great earthquake of 1880 was thus
foretold by bed ridden invalid, and there
is a tradition of an old lady who left her
lodgings and wandered about in the open
fields during the night before the destruc-
ton of Caracas, In 1872 The earthquake
of Lima Is said to have been anticipated by
watch dog, who suddenly set up an un-
earthly howl, increasing in emphasis till
his owner stepped out in the yard-just in
time to dodge an avalanche Of tumbling
bricks
Like our mediums, professional adivinos
are generally persons Of nervous organi-
cation, suffering permanently from that
abnormal sensitiyeness which the Pytbia
of old had to induce by inhaling the fumes
of the Delphic cavern. Vegetable narcotics
would seem to answer a similar purpose

There is sometimes an element of fierce
ness in the energy Of children. They are
not only lively and active and noisy, but
they are aggressively so. They are not sat
isfied without constant attention and sym
pathy. Their elders must look at that
know this and praise the other; and their
placidity being continually stirred, the ell.
ders get weary Of schooling their souls to
patience.
This aggressive energy is a terrible strain
on rasped nerves and a tired body. 1t is in
such moments of stress of spirit that the
mother makes the hasty, impatient speech,
and then, with self reproach does for the
child tenfold more than she ought to pun
ish herself for the brief sin.
1t is true, however some may exclaim
against it, that all mothers do not merge
their whole being in motherhood Some
times the spirit is willing but the flesh is
weak, and sometimes the spirit itself rebels.
A woman who was the mother of twelve
children brought up her sons and daugh-
tiers to honor and love her. She was a
model wife, friend and neighbor. Years
after her boys and girls had grown up and
were scattered, she confessed, 81 did used

She was faithful mother In spite of the

though, like some other truths, no present
relief. But when the inhiction is worst it
might afford a little help to consider what
a wonderful mercy it is that children do
have such an abundant stock of aggressive
energy to start with! What help it is in

Sweet tooth" wakes eloquent over the
goodies made by our grandmothers, who,
as he truly says, had few cook books, but
knew how TO cook. He writes feeliRgly
and well, but IL he is a married man it is
perhaps fortunate for him that his letter is
printed anonymously.
1t is long since some of us have seen any
of the crullers of which we were so fond
when grandmother made them.
She used to make also a toothsome little
seed cake, fragrant with caraway and
anise seeds, with sugar on top, the like of
which we have not seen since we used to
slip into her pantry and help ourselves out
of the old blue stone jar in which they were
always kept.
There was another and larger stone jar
on the same shelf, in which she kept those
big, puffy, twisted and braided doughnuts
that neither looked nor tasted like the de
generate doughnuts of the present day.
Sometimes we chose a cooky instead a
cooky "as was cooky;" not a thin, wafer
like, dry cooky, like the cookies OF this gem

large as a saucer-a cooky to delight the

woman's Work on the Farm.

The National Stockman suggests that
women ought to pay more attention to the
care Of young stock on the farm because
they are better adapted to it and have more
patience.

suggest that men are much better adapted
to carrying in wood and water, to carrying
out ashes and slops than the women are,
and it would be great accommodation to
the women II the practice were generally

extensively. The women have enough to

How the French Baby Is Reared.

The French baby used to wear multi
plicity of caps-a small, close cap of fine
linen, over which was n second of light
flannel, and over that third of some light
and ornamental stuff; now the caps are
being discarded, and baby goes openly and
BADLY bareheaded. There is, however,
one infantile institution to which well to-
do French folk cling obstinately, and that
Is the foster mother, or wet nurse. The
institution had its origin ages ago. 1t was
under the early Bourbon kings that the
practice first became established of send
ing infants into the country, to some well
known dependent of the house, to be
nursed and fed and brought up.
That is why one reads so much in French
literature of foster brothers and foster sis
tiers, who were the peasant children brought
up in the same lap and at the same breast
as the young lords and ladies. The wet
nurse who lived in the family was-and is
still-commonly a Burgundian, an ample,
handsome and good natured type of WON
an, something like our own woman of
Devonshire. The fine Burgundian nurse
is still feature Of Partisan life, with her
black eyes, her rich color and her opulent
form, her red cloak, her full bordered cap
and her long, floating ribbons-Strand

Sunday afternoon, little bit Of n young
mother, still pale with the delicate pallor
the cheeks Of young mothers often wear.
Behind her there came great, tall, awk-

the clumsiness of the average young father
who goes abroad for the first time with a
baby Of his own in his arms. He held it
up to his broad, full chest so gently and so

SIMPLE DIET THE SAFEST.
Mothers Cannot BE Too Careful of the
Quality of Food for Children.

mothers Cannot BE Too Careful of the
quality of Food for Children
Yes, the simplest is the safest and tho
best is the cheapest. The butcher. for ey-
ample, or the egg merchant, cannot adul-
berate ms wares, but he may have several
qualities, and there is a stage in respect to
all animal foods which renders them to n
large extent poisonous, and this is as bad
ii not worse than adulteration.
we often hear it said that shop eggs No
they are called, are good enough for frying
with bacon or ham. This is a mistake; an
egg That has even suspicion of staleness
ABOUT 1t Is deleterious to health, not to say
dangerous, no matter whether it be fried
or boiled. The same may be said of flesh
meats of all kinds.
1t is a truism that any kind of food or
mixed diet which requires the aid of slim
ulant for their digestion is not salutary.
such diet is tax upon the whole sys-
TEN, and causes heat and discomfort and
feverish state of the blood, which can
only end in debility of the nervous system
and more or less prostration.
Those who would obtain the greatest
amount of health and comfort from tho
food they eat must be most careful in its
selection. Every one ought to know what
agrees with him and what does not.
Through the summer months the table
should be abundantly supplied with fruits
and vegetables. Children especially should
be fed literally on fruits to avoid heat
rashes, PUSHES of the blood to the head and
digestive troubles.
As rule the healthy stomach will easily
absorb any reasonable quantity OF fruit
taken at proper seasons. Weak and abused
digestive organs will have to be treated
more carefully, but will ultimately grow
accustomed to a fruit diet and be all the
better for it. To do good, fruit must be
properly ripe and sound. If eaten green or
between meals it will interfere with diges-
ton and cause bowel troubles Acids pre-
vent caicareous degeneration, keeping the
bones elastic, as well as preventing the
accumulation Of earthly matters. This is
because of their solvent power. Fruit is
perfect food when fully ripe, and if it were
in daily use from youth to age, there would
be less govt, gallstones and stone in the
bladder.-IIalPs Journal of Health.

women Should BE Businesslike.

Why can't women be businesslike2 The

The uncommonly sensible woman stops at
TINS point. The average woman goes on:
ITS only four years since was comfort
ably situated. Nobody ever thought it
would be necessary for me to turn my hand

Is it not possible for a woman to under
stand that the size of her family does not
concern her employer Can she not further
strain her intellect to grasp the fact that
the wealth or poverty of her late husband
or father is not a matter of the least inter
est to htmf Is it asking too much to ex.
pect that she find out for herself some
thing she can do and stand on her merits
as factor of the business situation?
Further, is it not a matter of Importance
that women should see that by asking
work on the score of charity they give en-
ployers excuse for Offering low wages and
so reduce the standard not only for other
women, but for men? Finally, has any
body moral or an economic right to bring
up a girl without considering that it may
some time be necessary for her to turn her
hand to something.-NewY York Recorder.

A useful castor of novel form is being
used in England. 1t is intended to obviate
the difficulties arising from the ordinary
construction of castors where the roller is
carried on a crank swivel arm which is
easily broken off. The center pin of the
roller bearing is fixed in small plate TO
tating freely around a center pin secured
in the body of the castor.
The plate named, when pushed round
into any position, rests on the base of the
cup or disk of the castor, and is thus, while
quite free to move in any direction, thor
oughly supported in every position. 1t is,
IN TACT, well supported universal joint.
The castor is great improvement on the
old types.-Boston Transcript.

In the care of the hair it is important to
brush it thoroughly on the wrong side. 4"
For instance, when the hair is worn rolled
back from the face it should be parted and
brushed, and if THE couture is low the hair
should be combed up and also well brushed.
