The Care Of Sick Children.

The young mother who is far from a
physician may remember for her comfort
that child very seldom really retnires
medicine What it needs is what she can
give without danger-proper food pure
air, cleanliness and rest. Most of the dis
orders of children, particularly of infants,
arise from some arrangement of the diges-
tive tract. The food is not of proper guam
tity or quality. 1t is not assimilated; that
is, taken up by the blood for the nourish-
ment of the tissues, and the child suffers
1t is pale and fretful, throws up its food in
undigested masses and does not thrive as
healthy child should. The first thing to
be done Is to change the food. Add
tablespoonful of limewater to each six of
food; If this does not succeed, try using
one-fourth cream instead of all milk with
water. Vary the strength OF the food by
adding more or less water. II still unsuc-
cessful, try some of the artificial foods I'M
til one is found that does agree with the
baby.
With older children an error of diet is
very apt to be followed by feverishness and
restlessness High temperature does not
mean as much with children as with grown
persons. A child may have a tempera ture
of 1903 or 104 dogs. at night and yet be COM
paratively well in the morning. A simple
enema of soap and water, given with a
syringe such as should be in every house
hold, is the safest way Of producing a
movement if there is constipation. A child
two years old may have half a teaspoonful
of spiced sirup of rhubarb or a teaspoon
full of liquid citrate of magnesia, If there Is
reason to think that indigestible food is
the cause of the attack. When this acts
there will probably be an immediate i'm
provement.- Elizabeth r. Scovil in Ladies'
Home Journal.

A Disinherited Astor.

Mr.. Henry Aston, brother of the late
William Aston, farmer of Columbia
county, comes in for a codiciEwhich sets
forth that neither he nor hiS issue shall
have so much as one red cent to rub against
another. The father of these two men,
William b. Astor, gave Henry small
amount of money, although he had offend
eel the family by marrying respectable
girl, the daughter of farmer employed
on the Aston estate at Rhinecliff- on-the
Hudson. This was the only offense
charged against Henry SO far as the pub
lie ever knew This offense will not strike
most people as being objectionable, and
yet, in the eyes of the relatives, it seems to
be growing in Nervousness as the years
go by.
It wasn't so dreadful during the lifetime
of his father, for that stern parent con
coded him few paltry dollars but com
ing down to this generation he doesn't re
ceiye so much as plaster and a plaster
for the son of an Aston is mighty short
pasture, so to speak. Perhaps as the years
glide by and his offense becomes still fur
ther intensified his branch of the family
will be required to pay in something each
year to the other branch by way of further
atonement for marrying whom he pleased
1t is gratifying to know that Henry Aston
has been doing right we'll since he con
tracted this marriage, notwithstanding
that his rich relatives didn't like it.--John
A. Cockerill in New York Recorder.

Managing Husbands.

When you have learned to take man
by contraries you have learned the most
important lesson in the management of
men. If man is inclined to be rough and
harsh, used to ordering men about-per-
haps accustomed to scowl and growl-just
you be as timid and as easily frightened as
a baby. Let your lip tremble and your
eyes fill and say, George, don't, don't
speak like thatp' but do it to please, not to
irritate him. Be frightened if he scowls;
be ready to run if he growls. These big,
ugly fellows are the tenderest hearted men
in the world, but you must get at the ten
derness in them or you will find yourself
bullied about, and no woman can stand
that.
If man is dictatorial, be as gentle and
yielding as you can learn to make yourself
Don't pretend you know, but really yield
Sink your own opinions, but have great
respect for the truth. These dictatorial
fellows are usually dictatorial because
they have genuine confidence in their own
opinions They will more willingly admit
to themselves that they are wrong than
that you are right. 1t is the easiest thing
In the world to make them change their
views, only you must not seem to change
them. Let them do it of their own will
and reason and intelligence. Then agree
with them always. 1t is the right thing
they have come to, and in so coming they
have indicated their superiority. 1t isn't
that they have agreed with you and so
admitted themselves beaten. Forego your
little triumph. The important thing is
that the man you are managing should be
managed. -Jenness Miller Magazine.

Height of Adam and Eve.

I have often wondered where NJ. Hen
rion, the French savant, got his data for
the curious speculations he gives as to the
height and other proportions of Adam and
Eve. In his remarkable work, 'The De
generation of the Human Race" published
in l71S, the learned academician grayeiy in
forms his readers that Adam was 123 feet
and inches in height. while his disobedi-
ent consort was but paltry 1ls feet from
the sole of the foot to the crown of the
head"
OF course all who have read very extern
sively of Talmudic literature or even Bar
ing-Gould's Legends of the Patriarch
Prophets" remember the wonderful sto-
ries told of how Adam was made; of his
gigantic size, and how, after the fall, his
stature was reduced several miles by the
offended God himself. The Talmud has
this to say of Adams height "He was SO
tall that he stood with feet on earth and
head in heaven until after God pressed
him down at the time of the fall" Rabbi
Jhuda says that when he lay on the earth
''his body completely covered it."
Another Talmudic story says: ITO Judge
how long he was, understand that his body
stretched from one end of the earth to the
other, and it takes man 500 years to walk
that distance. The angels were awed with
wonder when they saw that gigantic hui
man being and bowed before him, crying,
Holy, holy, holy Then God reduced his
size by cutting off great chunks of flesh"
These are all absurd legendary stories of
course; but where did Henrion get his fig
ures for the l23-foot calculation mentioned
in the opening?- Louis Republic.

A Girl Invents Game on Which There
Would Seem to be No Fljes.
The young people in one of st. Louis
prettiest suburbs are in a state of feverish
excitement over new game that has been
devised by some of their number 1t is
called progressive hammocking," and is
SO full of golden opportunities in senti-
mental way that it is destined to become
very popular with the youth of both sexes.
A bright young girl, to whom, with sew
eral others, is due the credit of having
given this new diversion to the world, thus
describes it:
'You see, each girl is provided with a
hammock in which she reclines grace
fully or ungracefully, according to the ex-
tent of her experience in hammocking,
during the game The hammocks are
hung far enough apart so that no one can
see or hear her neighbors, and above each
is suspended a Chinese lantern with a
number on it; but these, of course, will be
blown out early in the proceedings.
"A chaperon is required preferably
two-a lady and a gentleman To start
the game the boys draw numbers from a
hat. and then each hunts up the ham
mock which corresponds to the number
drawn At a given signal he begins to
tell the girl in it love story. By the
rules the stories must be impersonal
"But of course they won't be. That"
she added, with laugh, sis a matter that
lies with the story teller and his CON
science. Well, at the end of fifteen min
utes the chaperon beats a tomtom and
the boys move up one hammock and each
tells another story to a new listener. The
stories, mind you, must all be different
that is, one cannot tell the same story to
two girls"
"And they must all be love storiesP"
asked the reporter.
certainly. Oh, it's more fun. The
boys out there are securing the town for
short love stories. Well, when the rounds
have been made and each of the six, say
has told six amorous tales to six tender
maidens a secret ballot is taken, the girls
voting for the best story teller and the boys
for the best listener That's where the
real funny part comes in, for of course
each girl will vote for the man she likes
best, and vice versa; hence the chaperon
will become the sacred repository of one
half dozen true love tales"
What about the prizes?'
'"There will be six first prizes on each
side and no boobies" and the fair schemer
laughed heartily at the success of her
efforts to devise something new and start
ling in the way of summer amusement
