Washing and Dressing a Baby.

In small houses, while the family is
small, the best rooms are very properly
used as nurseries, writes Mrs. William
Ewart Gladstone in the Ladies Home
Journal" The nursing is good, for it
is directly under the mothers eye.
Here some Of the common cares and du-
ties that make good nurse are prac-
tically taught. The simple precautions
thus learned are not always attended
to when the nurse acts Independently
of the mother. Old custom fingers
long in nursery matters, longest, per-
haps, in the first traditional handling
of infants, where the experience of the
nurse has to be trusted to. The most
experienced nurse has to be dis
trusted. Experience is often pleaded
as an excuse for carelessness, or as
a cause for the nurses convenience
coming before the welfare of the child.
To some nurses it is too much
trouble to use thermometer for the
infants bath, they can tell If it is the
right heat: if not, it has been said, the
infant will cry and look red if the water
be too hot, blue if too cold. They are
slow. also, to consult the thermometer
on the wall; they like the room to be
warm. and prefer a bright light from
gas or lamps, when the night light is
all that should be allowed. The tenn
pcrature of the water used for washing
an infant should be nearly that of the
surface of the body-96 degrees or %
degrees +. AS the child grows older,
the heat of the water should be gradu-
ally lessened, while the limbs should
be allowed free exercise in u large tub.
Some children do not bear cold water
well: good sense, discrimination, and
observation should be our guides in
this rs in all other matters.

THE FIRST WHISTLE.

when the Steamboat Screecher Was First
Heard on the Mississippi.
II see they have finally settled the
discussion as to who was the first
man to usc steamboat whistle
on the river" said Captain Jere
Eastman, of Cairo. 1T was a mighty
interesting discussion. too, and the
thing was in doubt for some time, but
it's all settled now and Captain j.
Slut Neal was the man. AS Captain
Neal explains it himself the story is
something to this effect: He was the
engineer and part owner of the Rev
inue-spell that with an H. mind
you-and she was the first vessel to
use whistle. They got it from
Anderson Fulton. in Pittsbu..g, where
the boat was built That was in 1843.
"You see, they were making Il trip
with government supplies to Fort
Touson, on the Red river, in 1914.
They had had the whistle then. for,
while they were making the "trip,
Polk was inaugurated president and
old Cap'n Ncal-he wasn't old then
was the only Democrat on the boat,
and i tell you he made the lnJunS
jump when he set that old whistle to
footing. In those days the whistle
was placed atop of the boilers and
the engineer could amuse himself to
his hearts content if he wanted to.
Old Cap'n Neal was a stcamboatman
born. He was the first man on the
river to use the life preservcr, and
sent Cap'n w. II. Fulton all the way
to Philadelphia to get "a supply OF
them for the Revinue. On the trip
that l tell you about the Revinue
towed a keel boat all the way from
Pittsburg via New Orleans to Fort
Touson on the Red river. That was
before the annexation of Texas, and
at that time Fort Touson was the
boundary line between the United
States and Texas. and l tell you that
was feat for stcamboating in those
days"

Scaling Fish.

Even on the seashore not one person
In thousand knows the easy way of
taking scales from fish without break
ing the skin. This is perhaps less re-
markable because the idea was sug-
gested by "a young farmer. lie loved
to fish and, living on the shore of Lake
Champaign, had plenty of fish. When
they were caught they had to be
cleaned. Now it is no fun to take the
pin feathers" from u two-pound yell
low perch. They are little worse
than any salt water fish have ever at
tempted to take out of their clothes.
One day my young friend had made a
big haul and, as there was large
party to eat, there had to be good
number of fish picked" The knife
did not work well, the spines stuck
in his fingers and there were only
few of the big pile finished.
An idea came into his head. How
would cprrycomb work? There was
new comb in the barn and in about
two minutes he had it in operation. 1t
worked. The skins came off as easily
as the skin from boiled potato. Nd
basket full of fish was ever before
cleaned So quickly. The currycorAb
never went back to the stable. There
was better use for it among the fishin:
tackle. Now everybody in that par,
OF the country knows how to scale fish
in hurry, and every fisherman has
his currycomb as handy us his fishing
pole. The firm teeth seem to take
hold of each individual scale Leaving
the skin uninjured. Not a scale escapes,
and the rapidity with which it can be
done is something astonishing to one
who has always used knife for that
purpose. Don't forget the currycomb
the next time fish have to be cleaned
in the house.

NEEDLES AND DgNvgR CAPITALISTS.

Needles, California, is rapidly becom-
ing place of great Importance. In sd-
dition to the large railroad business
done there, and to its old trade with
surrounding mining camps, number of
Denver capitalists have become largely
interested in the place. We described
Needles at some length in special edi-
ton some weeks ago, but scarcely day
passes that we do not receive informa-
tion OF happenings whose only effect can
be to increase the wealth and popula-
ton of the place. The number of mines
that will shortly be tributary to the
smelter which the Denver capitalists
have put up there is legion. We noted
the other day the splendid mineral ter.
ritory that will be traversed by the
Nevada Southern railway. The fact is
that the branch which starts from
Goff's station, on the Atlantic and Pa
cifc, and penetrates this country, will
open up probably the very richest treas.
ure territory on the American continent
The mines are OF gold, silver and the
taser metals, and coal is also abundant.

be grown yearly on the same land, and
yet multiiudes of industrious Germans
stay on the edges OF the eastern cities.
An industrious man in the neigh bor-
hood OF Los Angeles on either moist or
irrigated lands, could make himself rich
by growing two staples. cauiaowers and
csbbages, and shipping them to eastern
markets. This business is attaining i'm
menee proportions, but the profits nearly
all go to Cinnamon, as we said at the
