BABYS MEALS.

They Should BE Given ut Regular Inter-
walls.
The seasons of baby's meals should
be household habits by the time he is
allowed to partake of cooked food. Do
not blunt the zest which he ought to
bring to the consumption of regular
rations b. intervening nibbles and
lunches. He will learn to expect and
demand these, and be discontented
when they are withheld The practice
of appeasing him when restless, from
whatever cause, by thrusting a cracker,
slice of bread, or worse yet, hunk"
of gingerbread or 'tcookey" into his
hand is discountenanced by wise
mothers He besmears his face and
clothes, drops crumbs on the carpet and
makes continual want for himself
When the hour comes for feeding give
him his quantum of proper food, pro-
perly prepared. Let him eat it
leisurely, and as soon as he is old enough
to sit at the table serve his meal neatly
in plate, cup or saucer, set on a neat
cloth, his own spoon, china and finger
napkin laid in order. These are not
trifies. More Americans would break
fast, dine or sup in healthful decorum
and fewer feed" if they were trained
from infancy to consider meal rs a
ceremonial observance, and the need of
popular essays ON Table Manners"

Uses of Aluminium.

New uses for aluminium are being
made known almost every day. This
metal is particularly suitable for many
manufacturers on account of its ex-
tremely light weight, and since new
methods have been discovered by which
it may be prepared for use much more
cheaply than formerly, it seems destin-
ed to become one of the most useful
metals Besides its uses in the various
sciences and mechanical processes, it is
used for bicycles, opera-glasses, frames
for eyeglasses, and for numerous other
purposes; and the latest experiments
with it have been made in the manufac-
ture of pianos and violins In the case
of the piano, at least, it is said to have
given most satisfactory results even
improving the tone of the instrument.

Half an hour afterward Bobby was
lying on the sofa in his mothers room.
Theee was = handkerchief, wet with ar.

somewhat pale and subdued. His
mother had some books in her lap.
Bobby" she said, 1--WE been think
ing about this stumping business OF
yours, and I've concluded it's one of the
greatest things in the world"
He looked ut her in amazement. He
hadn't expected this.
''It's true, Bobby. All the great gem
erals were just men who wouldn't let
their enemies stump them. Christie
pher Columbus wouldn't be stumped
when he started to discover America.
No. not by poverty nor by the jeers OF
all Spain-not even when his sailors
mutinied and wanted to kill him.
George Washington wouldn't be
stumped, nor Gen. Grant, nor Napoleon,
nor any of those men that you like to
have me read to you about All tho
Arctic explorers and the people who
have gone into Africa were men who
wouldn't be stumped."
There was little silence. Bobby
was alert and interested.
II am going to read to you about two
men who wouldn't be stumped. One
was Winstanley, who built the Eddy
stone lighthouse, and the other was
our own Sheridan, who won the battle
of Winchester. And then want to read
to you about the sinking of the Cum
berland, and how she fred that last

Bobby nestled contentedly on tho
sofa. He loved to hear his mother read
poetry. He was very much interested
that day, and his eyes were bright and
shining when she had finished.
"Were those really all stumps, man

Eyes, DEAR" she said, smiling. II
think they were; and want to read to
you about some more-listen."
She took up the newspaper cuttings
and began:

THE PINEAPPLE CURE.
II IL Very Effective In Diseases Of

II IL Very Effective In Diseases Of the
Throat.
Holy Writ tells us that the leaves OF
the trees are for the healing of the ma
TONS It is also maintained that, il
people would confine themselves to q
fruit diet, they would live q great deal
longer and die great deal happier
This bit of theorizing comes up anent
the use of fruit, which probably saved
one person a good deal Of suffering. A
lady who has for years been subject to
serious throat difficulty took a heavy
cold, with the usual unpleasant symp-
toms, and . very distressing recurrence
of the throat trouble ensued During
drive, her condition became most un-
comfortable, to say the least, with con-
slant irritation, coughing and severe
pain. A halt at the grocer's was re-
quested, and pineapple was purchased
Arrived home, the pineapple was
dissected almop. Immediately, and at
least one-thi,d was eaten by the aflict-
ed lady. The result was astonishing to
those not familiar with the action Of
this fruit ON the throat. Almost in
stantly the unfavorable symptoms had
disappeared, the coughing was at an
end, and In half an hour there was not
the slightest INDIGESTION of what few
hours before had seemed premonition
Of serious cold. Amember of the family.
who had been much annoyed by a slight
cold with some irritation and indica-
tions of tonsilitis, was immediately re-
lieved by slice of this delicious fruit
The virtues and curative qualities of
the pineapple are but imperfectly un-
derstood. All persons who suffer either
from acute or chronic affections of the
throat will do well TO experiment. as
The remedy certainly has the merit Of
inexpensiveness and agree

minded when he sent down copy to

one of the copy-readers he got himself
disliked.
It was Thursday night-the night be
fore pay-day-and the copy-reader
sighed regretfully as he handed the boy
his last dollar bill and had him bring
coffee, toast and a beef sandwich.
These articles are usually procured in
the Park row restaurant whose decora-
tions consist of framed Scriptural quo
tation& Here coffee, toast and sand
witch cost five cents each. with an addi-
tional nickel deposit on the tin pail in
which the coffee comes
The boy was gone . full half hour
and the copy reader was beginning to
worry over the possibility Of the boy
having blown I'M the dollar when tho
little fellow returned
DE was falrly staggering under big
tray load Of dishes covered with .
creamy white napkin. Instead of the
usual tin pail full of the mixture Of cof-
fee. sugar and milk, there was silver
plated coffee pot, bowl of lump sugar
with tongs and little pitcher Of
cream. There were more napkins and
. silver plate of toast, buttered and cut
in small triangular pieces The sand

with the bread cut a thin q paper and
the edges trimmed.
This load the boy placed before his
half fainting victim. The victim Is not
. profane man, but he gulped down
enough bad words to destroy complete
~ what little appetite he had left.
There was no change, and as the copy
reader, who lives in Brooklyn, tramped
across the bridge and inhaled the fresh

that the Office boy who went to get him
