CHILDREN IN WINTER.
Extra Care Should he Taken of Them at
h Season.

Extra Care Should BE Taken of Them at
h Season.
The mortality of children reaches a
maximum twice a year-n summer,
when multitudes die of diarrhea, mostly
in the poor quarters of large cities;
again in winter, when they succumb to
catarrhs and infammations Of the
respiratory organs-fatalities more apt
to happen to the delicate children of the
richer class.
An idea prevails that winter weather
is beneficial to young children.
If the temperature be below freezing
point the more dangerous it is for the
child's health the colder and drier the
air gets, no matter whether the skin
is kept warm or not. The cold, dry air
irritates the respiratory organs and is
apt to cause inflammation. This is more
dangerous the younger the child is. Cold,
damp weather, with or without rain,
when the temperature is above freezing
point, is much less to be feared if the
child be sufficiently we'll wrapped.
Fog, on the contrary, is not to be trust
ed, and the danger from it increases with
the severity of the cold. It is not sufi-
Gent then for a child to be well wrapped.
Precautions must be taken that it does
not breathe the air without its being
previously warmed. This is effected by
covering the chi1d's head, leaving a good
space for nose and mouth, over which a
thick veil is fastened.
The hardening process by means Of
water should begin when the child is
able 10 run about, not with cold baths,
but with cold additions Of certain parts
of the body with water that has stood
twelve or twenty-four hours in the room,
but to which no warm water has been
added. These hardening additions are
never to be begun except in summer,
and with infants it is all out of the ques-
ton.
The cold ablutions should begin with
the hands and arms, then the face. On
another day the back and legs may be
laved. Later the neck and breast Of the
body can be similarly subjected. Not
until the age Of six are the cold ablu-
tions to be applied simultaneously to the
whole body,
Any kind Of o catarrh, ever a simple
feverless cold, should forbid the contin-
uation Of the hardening additions. Nor
should they eyer be given within three
hours after aaneAk
In winter the child must be kept near
the stove during the process and stand
in a wooden tub with warm water up to
the ankles. The washing and drying
should be dong Il regularly as possible.

ance of the fair will be held there, and it
will be headquarters for the ladies in

This palatial home, often called the
Potter Palmer palace in happy allitera-
ton, stands upon the lake front, just
south of Lincoln park, and its cost was
$3.50, 900. It is built Of graystone in the
style of a medieval castle. It has often
been described, and an idea Of its mag
~nifcence may be gained from the fact
that it contains sixty-fve sleeping rooms,
besides a splendid array Of halls and par
1ors.

This brocade, which has fantastic bows
of pale lilac ribbon entangling sprays of
jasmine in equally faint yellow, is SO
disposed as to fall in graceful folds,
which develop the beauty of the fabric,
but not at the cost of dishonoring the
figure it Grapes. The front is pure en-
pire, and is made Of pin spotted gauze
and lace, with a belt and epaulets Of
violet velvet. The cloak is of eminence

strongly of the 1880 modes in its short

signer has fashioned? The ground is
white, the colors that happy union of
pink and blue which the pompadour dis
covered and loved. But the blue pre-
dominates, and SO the costumer matched
it in blue raindrop silk, with a fringe of
crystal beads set on the edge of the
founces in scallops and the founce be-
gathered on the skirt and fastened with
a twist of moss green ribbon tied in bows
at intervals. The waist is of soft white
stuf-si1k tissue, it is called-and is
plated from the shoulders down to the
belt in surplice fashion, where a girdle
of the ribbon confines it. The sleeves
are of the blue, and over the shoulder
the founce appears again fringed with
crystal and held in place with bows.
More elaborate and costly is the even
ing gown of the splendid brocade which
forms now the basis for evening gowns.

Domestic Servants in New York.

OF female domestic servants in New
York probably 60 per cent. are Irish,
says The Evening Post. The remainder,
naming them in their estimated numer-
ical order, are chiefly Swedes and Nor
wegians, Germans, English and Scotch,
negroes, French and native whites. De-
spite the fact that Erin's serving daughter
is the perpetual butt of the funny papers"
it is said among the most experienced en-
ployment agents that the Irish furnish
many of the best servants as well as the
largest number. Some years ago there
was a craze for Swedish servants, but it
has died out, and there is less and less
demand for them. They were especially
attractive on account of their bright
compilations and neat appearance, but it
was discovered that their intelligence
had been overrated, and that no matter
how kindly they were treated they would
leave employers to go to others for the
most trifing increase of wages.
This has now become their most noto-
rious characteristic as servants. The
Norwegian serving women, who have
heretofore been rated as inferior to the
Swedish, are said now to be both quicker
and more faithful. German servants
are classed as comparatively good, but
seldom among the best. The English
and Scotch are declared to be the best
trained and the most civil. Not a few
employers are partial to colored domes-
tic servants from the south. The French
are seldom wanted except as nurses, and
then, as a rule, only when it is desired
that children should learn the French
language,
