CARING FOR CHILDREN.
The Good Work Done In the Obi
cago Day Nurseries.
Charitable Institutions of Extraordinary
Merit-How Poor Mothers Are Re-
ueved OF the Care for Their Little
Ones During Daytime.
Especial Chicago letter.

To sensitive person one of the sad
dest features of city life is the pitiable
sight of the uncared-for children that
exist on the lower streets and byways
where beer saloons and junk shops APP
pear to be the only places of business, and
where filth and drunkenness seem to be
characteristics of nearly all the inhab-
itants. The fact of their surroundings,
while it does not palliate the wicked
ness of the denizens of such places,
should, in large measure account for
its existence, and help to throw the
mantle of charity over many of their
misdeeds. For how can we expect good
men and women from children who
know nothing but evil and emanate
from such homes?
Little children, mere babies, are left
all day long to play in the dirt of the
street or the still more wretched squalor
of the place they call home" The
mothers have to work and earn bread
for their little ones, and if they have a
father, he is, too often. q drunken rep
rebate.
II was about seven years ago that
this need of some means of caring for
these children during the day was, in q
small measure, filled. About that time
the first day nurseries were started in
Chicago.
They were begun In few small
rooms and with handful of children,
but how much they have progressed
and how much good they have accom-
plished since is shown in the number
of little ones they have started on the
right way and poor mothers they have
relieved from all anxiety for their chill
dren during the tolls of the day. At q
creche, as it is called,on Wabash avenue,
last year, over 1000 children were in
attendance counting the presence of
each child on each separate day, as an
attendance. Another on West Adams
street counted over 5000 in it's attend
ancc for the last year. There are only
about eight of these nurseries now in
Chicago.
The children, some of them infants
under six months of age, are brought
by the mothers at six o'clock in the
morning, and then the parents leave for
/ their work, in downtown Office or
store or perhaps to go out washing,
with the thankful consciousness that
their babes are well-cared for.
AS soon as baby arrives he is treated
to thorough bath, nice clean pima

put on him, and then he is given a
wholesome breakfast of bread. buttaf

What Wears Out the school Girls.

A lady recently told me that her
daughter who was attending school was
nearly worn out with her studies; she
told me how many books the daughter
was studying aud how many hours she
was porting over them in school and at
night, and that it was too much'for her.
/ asked the mother 20 examine her
daughters school satchel and see if it
did not contain other than school books.
She did So, and gave me list of several
exciting novels. ! then told her to see
what book her daughter had under her
pillow at night, whether it was her
English grammar, English literature or
a novel. and it was always novel So
it was plain to me that it was not by
her school studies that this young lady
was worn out, but by loss of sleep and
the excitement of novel-reading, and
that is what wears out a great many
young people. Besides this continuous
novel reading, the young girl must 20
to party once or twice week and
stay up until twelve or one o'clock;
then she must be in school the next
day and with the trying to keep up
with her classes and to keep up with
the demands of society and fashion,
her health gives way; and yet, the
breakdown is always charged to over
study, when. If she would live simply
and avoid unnecessary excitement. it is
not likely that her school work would
do her any harm From lecture by

CURES FOR DRUNKENNESS.
The Farcical Reform by Artificial
Stimulants,

The Farcical Reform by Artificial
Stimulants.
A credible citizen of Kansas reports
that many of the reformed drinkers in
that state, whose reformation was
largely due to the difficulty of obtain
ing liquor under the prohibitive legis-
lation in that state, have taken to such
stimulants as antipyrine and quinine.
II is well-known fact that there are
slaves to the ginger habit" no less
firmly shaclled than the rum slave
himself. Even the number of those
who are addicted to very strong tea
made, contrary to all cookery canons,
by boiling the tea and water together
parently SO bound to that kind of tea
that tea properly drawn" is not what
their appetite Graves.
Now all of these subtanccs are in
furious to the human mind and body.
and through them to the morals OF this
class of habit-slaves While they do
not intoXicate, it is certain that their
habitual use is debasing. The serious
question arises: If the drinker
abandons his alcohol and fees to these
habits, has he really reformed? The
answer must be in the negative.
After abandoning the alcohol. tho
only proper substitute is well-coolSed,
nutritious food: not only bread and
beef and milk, but also special food for
the nerves to strengthen the will-pow-
er and induce sleep in season. The
a,-t, sa1 nd lot -
alcohol must be supplanted by the
stimulation of healthful food, clean,
well-aired apartments and regular rest,
at proper intervals, for mind and body.
Nature will assert her supremacy if
artificial hindrances are removed. The
young and middle-aged habitues of al-
cohol have, on this view of the case, no
excuse whatever for relapse. The farce
reform" of giving up one species of
excessive artificial stimulation and
adopting another, is probably the most
serious obstacle in the way of curing
the drink evil. In the case of older
habitues it must be-though regretful-
ly-admitted that as they have lived
they must continue to live-stimulant of
some kind they must have. They are
past the stage of nature in which phys
ical upbuilding is sufficiently active to
eradicate lifelong craving and to
partially repair the natural waste of
the body at the same time. Hence
healthful food, drink, fresh air and
rest-nature's stimulants-will not be
sufficient for them.
In word, cure of drunkenness sup
poses nature assisting in the reform.
In addition to this temptation must he
avoided. The victim must suffer for
awhile, and must expect. to suffer; to
be strong against his failing; to feel
an aching void; to tear himself aw 2
from his former life; to be calm, and
watchful, and patient Unless he in
tends, at the beginning of his strug-
gle, to do these things, it will be use
less for him to enter upon it No mat
ter what the "cure" may be--in these
matters the patient must minister unto
himself.-Once a Week.
