a baby being small, the dress should be
chosen with a view to warmth, but
while taking every care to maintain a
comfortable and equable warmth, do
not coddle or overhead the child; beware
of loading it with too many clothes,
and of covering the neck with warm
shawls or tippets within doors. All
that is wanted is to keep the upper part
of the dress sufficiently high to protect
the chest and arms, for over-heating is
bad and relaxing.
Exceptional circumstances, of course,
demand exceptional care; for instance,
in a case of premature birth the preser-
walton of vital heat is the one thing to
be attended to; it is safest to wrap the
baby in flannel, or, as has been done
with good effect, to imbed it in a bas-
ket of cotton wool, and not to expose it

THE st Louis man who recently tapped
an electric light wire surreptitiously for
his own use was set at liberty, the judge
who tried him declining to pronounce
the offense petit larceny, while the
grand jury refused to regard it as a
fraud. There was no dispute as to the
fact of the offense. The difficulty
seems to have been the purely technical
one of finding the proper legal label for
it. The electric light companies may be
relied on to see that the laws deficiency
in that respect shall be promptly made
good, as otherwise they would be likely
to find it more profitable to quit bust
ness attended with so much possible
leakage.

REMEDY FOR MOSQUITOES.

Nothing Quite Ehectual rs the Odor of
Pennyroyal.
There are very few people who at
tempt to deal with mosquitoes as they
do with other insects. Sufferance
seems to be the general rule. In many
places in the mountains this insect dis
appears early in July, but in lowlands
he takes up his quarters for the season.
There appears to be no remedy for this
pest quite so effectua1 as the odor of
pennyroyal. The essential oil sold in
the drug stores is hardly SO effectual as
the fresh herb itself. A bouquet of
these fragrant herbs will usually drive
away this troublesome pest. When
mosquitoes attack a community in
force, they are best exercised by a
smudge, or smoldering fire Of pine
boughs or fragrant wood, smothered to
give forth a thick smoke. This smoke
is not especially disagreeable to people
in the open air, but it's effect in driving
away mosquitoes is remarkable.
The best antidote for the bite Of a
mosquito undoubtedly is ammonia,
weakened with little water or salt
and water. Some people go so far as
to press the poison out of the bite with
some small metal instrument like the
point of a watch key before applying the
antidote. This prevents the painful
swelling that sometimes occurs. AS in
other cases, zone mans meat Is another
mans poison" and the same remedy
will not apply to all individuals. Some
find camphor most efhcacious, and salt
and water will not avail. Ammonia
however, seems to be generally success
full as a neutralizer of the mosquito
poison. Where there are large guam
titles of mosquitoes and no reason fol
their appearance is apparent it is well
to look about the premises for some
thing which attracts them. An uncov
cred barrel of rain water will bring
them in hordes, and damp places ant
stagnant pools are spots where they de
light to congregate.
There are great many objections t.
mosquito bars, the chief of which i
the sense OF suffocation which their us
engenders. They keep out mosquitoes
but they also keep out the pure, fresl
air. 1t is better to endure the presenc
of the pests or to use other remedie
against them than to keep out the fresl
air by the use of nets at the window
and doors or in canopies over the beds

LAST nights grand demonstration in
New York on the occasion of the Off

fail to have its effect on the presidential
campaign in New York and state. 1t

the days of jefferson and Jackson. The
democratic national committee, in
bringing their candidates thus before
the people, revived custom that can
not fail to evoke recognition in popu-

beneficial effect in the campaign, but
will stamp the incident with such seal
of popular approval as will make it an

Sunday at the Worlds Fair.

1t has been explained by Director
General Davis and other worlds fair
officials, who are inclined to favor Sum
day opening, that it is not the intention
or desire that the fair should be opened
on Sundays in the "wide" way in which
it will be on week days. On the con-
trary, they would have the machinery
stopped. all manufacturing processes at
a standstill, and every description of
mum. Religious services and choral
and other musical entertainments could
be held in the numerous halls and aud
itoriums which the buildings will con-
tain. The people could stroll through
the park, viewing its resplendent beau
ties OF nature and wonderful achieve
ments of mans handiwork; could enter
the buildings to enjoy the work of
painter and sculptor, and to learn and
profit from exhibits of innumerable de-
scription. Very few employees, COM
paratively, would be required to remain
on duty on Sunday, and those chiefly
for watchmen and guards. These would
not be required to work seven days in
the week. To care for the thousands OF
visitors at the fair on Sunday would not
require more persons to work on that
day than would be necessary were those
| same thousands to go elsewhere. Had
it been understood from the beginning
that the Sunday opening of the fan
would be of the kind ndicated-orderly
and educational instead of noisy and de
moralizing-it is believed that the pc
titions and protests against Sunday
| fair would have been far less numerous

BRUSSELS, March 14-There has been
little If any abatement in the excite
ment in and about Charlerot, near
which place the appalling explosion oc-
CURED Thursday morning in the Ander-
lues colliery. All night long hundreds
of men, women and children have kept
their dreary watch ut the pit mouth,
hoping for the best, yet almost know
ing their hope was without reason.
Many pitiable scenes have been wit
messed as wives and children have rec
ognized among the bodies the features
of some dear one, distorted and black
ened by the sheet of scorching flame
that had enveloped them.
The fire caused by the explosion is
still burning in the lower gallery where
the accident occurred. The shock of
the explosion detached huge masses of
wreck and earth and the galleries are
SO blocked with the debris that it is
impossible to approach nearer than 100
yards to the place where the great body
of the miners were working. Besides
the dirt and rock, the carcasses of forty
horses block the approach to the lower
gallery and these will have to be cut up
and removed before the rescuers can
proceed any further in the direction of
the gallery, where the bodies are
known to be.
The gendarmes have great difficulty
in preserving even the semblance OF
order in the vicinity of the pit mouth.
The crowd of relatives of the miners
ltcfr oto ,of <Lox H.
orders of the gendarmes fall upon deaf
ears, and the latter are compelled to use
gentle force to compel obedience. The
police stationed at the Office of the min
ing company, which has been transform.
ed into temporary morgue, we're not so
gentle in their dealings with the crowd
Many of the mourning relatives made
an attempt to enter the office and were
forcibly repulsed. Some of the more
determined in the crowd insisted on be.
ing admitted, and the result was that
several scuffles occurred between them
and the police. Finally, rs it was feared
that serious trouble might follow if the
police persisted in refusing admittance
to the building, the doors'of the Office
were barricaded to prevent ingress.
The bodies that have been recovered
were covered with thick, black dust,
which in some instances had been
blown deep in the skin. As they were
taken into the Office they were placed
upon straw that had been spread on
the floor, and the faces were then clean
ed as far as possible to allow of identi-
fcation. Many of the faces, however,
were entirely unacceptable.
The fact that some, If not all, of the
women employed in the mine have met
their death by the explosion will afford
an almost .unanswerable argument fol
those who oppose female labor in un'
derground employments. Among the
bodies recovered is that of a fourteen.
year-old girl. That she suffered indie
scribable agony is shown by the young
face, which is so horribly distorted thai
it cannot be recognized The black
ened features are swollen almost be-
yond all sem ALLIANCE to humanity.

IDLE MINERS.
The Great Strike Is On In England-Other

The Great Strike Is On In England-Other
Industries Harmed.
LONDON, March 14.-The great coal
miners strike was inaugurated in ac-
cordance with the plans of the miners
federation, which in it's manifesto. issued
few days ago, declared that the holi-
day the men proposed to take was for
the purpose of clearing the market of
the surface coal and for restricting the
output in order to prevent the masters
from using the low prices as an excuse
for lowering wages.
At 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon the
men employed in the mines in Lam
casbire, Cheshire and Yorkshire stopped
work, and the ponies were removed
from the pit. The only men now at
work are the surface men, bumpers,
ventilator attendants, etc, whom the
federation has not called out.
Twenty thousand miners in Noting
ham also quit work at noon. When
they came out of the pits they brought
their tools with them.
The coal stocks in the Bristol district
are already nearly exhausted. The
miners there have also stopped work,
and as result the price of coal has
gone up four shillings ton. Many
manufacturers refuse to pay the price
demanded and have closed their fac
tories In this respect the action of
the miners is working greatly to the
harm of operatives employed in other
industries. One of the results of the
split that has occurred among the North
Wales miners is that the men working
in Flintshire will not go on strike,
but will work not more than five days
a week.
In Durham mining work has also
completely stopped.
