CHILDREN IN WINTER.
TO BE CONTINUED.

Extra Care Should Be Taken of Them ae
This Season.
The mortality Of children reaches o
maximum twice a year-ln 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 oreans-fatalities more apt
to happen to the delicate children Of the
richer class.
An idea prevails that w1ster weather
is beneficial to young children.
If the temperature be below freezing
point the more dangerous it is for the
childs 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 moro
dangerous the younger the child is. Cold,
damp weather, with or without rain,
when the temperature is above freezing
point, is much less to he cared if tho
child be sufficiently well wrapped.
Fog, on the contrary, is not to be trust
|. ed, and the danger from it increases with
the severity of the cold. 1t is not stuff
cient 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 child's head, leaving good
space for nose and mouth, over which a
thisk veil is fastened.
The hardening process by means Of
water should begin when the child is
able to 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 additions 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-
tons to be applied simultaneously to the
whole body.
Any kind of catarrh, even a simple
feverless cold, should forbid the contin-
uation of the hardening ablutions. Nor
should they ever be given within three
hours after meal.
In winter the child must be kept near
the stove during the process and stand
in o wooden tub with warm water up TO
the ankles. The washing and drying
should be done as regularly as possible.

CHAPTER Xxx.
THE FLIGHT IN THE HEATHER-THE HEUdE
OF CORRYNAKIEGH.

THE FLIGHT IN THE HEATHER-THE HEUdH
OF CORRYNAKIEGH.
Early as day comes in the beginning
of July it was still dark when we reached
our destination, cleft in the head of q
great mountain, with water running
through the midst, and upon the one
hand shallow cave in rock. Birches
grew there in a thin, pretty wood, which
little farther on was changed into
wood of pines. The burn was full of
trout; the wood of cushat doves; on the
opening side of the mountain beyond
whaups would be always whistling, and
cuckoos were plentiful. From the mouth
Of the cleft we looked down upon part
of Mamore and on the sea loch that di-
vides that country from Appin, and this
from so great a height as made it my
continual wonder and pleasure to sit
and behold them.
The name Of the cleft was the Heugh
Corrynakiegh; and, although from its
height and being so near upon the sea it
was often beset with clouds, yet it was
OIL the whole pleasant place, and the
Eve days we lived in it went happily.
We slept in the cave, making our bed
Of heather bushes which we cut for
that purpose, and covering ourselves
with Alan's greatcoat There was
low, concealed place in turning of
the glen, where we were so bold as
to make fires so that we could warm
ourselves when the clouds set in and
cook hot porridge, and grill the little
trouts that we caught with our hands
under the stones and overhanging banks
of the burn. This was indeed our chief
pleasure and business; and not only to
save our meal against worst times, but
with a rivalry that much amused us, we
spent great part of our days at the
waterside, stripped to the waist, and
cropping about or Gas they say guddling

have been three-quarters of pound;
but they were of good flesh and flavor,

In any bytime Alan must teach me to
use my sword, for my ignorance had
much distressed him; and l think be-
sides, as had sometimes the upper hand
of him in the fishing, he was not sorry to
turn to an exercise where he had so
much the upper hand of me. He made

to turn tail, but held my ground for all
that, and got some profit of my lessons,
if it was but to stand on guard with an
assured countenance, which is often all
that is required. So, though l could
never in the least please my master, ]
was not altogether displeased with my
self.
In the meanwhile you are not to sup
pose that we neglected our chief bust
ness, which was to get away.

said to me on our first morning, "before
the redcoats think upon seeking Cory
nakiegh, so now we must get word sent
to James, and he must find the siller for

"And how shall we send that word?"
says l. I'VE are here in desert place,
which yet we dare not leave, and unless
we get the fowls of the air to be your
messengers l see not what we shall be
able to do?"
"Aye?" said Alan. "Ye're "a man of

Thereupon he fell in muse, looking
in the embers of the fire, and presently,
getting piece of wood, he fashioned it
in cross, the four ends of which he
blackened on the Goals. Then he looked
at me little shyly.

he. ut seems q strange thing to ask q

strung it on a strip of his greatcoat

with satisfaction.

English) mot very far from Corryna-
kiegh, and it has the name Of Koalisna-

mine whom | could trust with my life,

set money on them, and as for the
Campbells they would never spare siller
where there was q Stewart to be hurt.
If it was otherwise ! would go down to
Koalisnacoan whatever, and trust my
life into these peoples hands as lightly
as l would trust another with my glove"

"Being So" said he, Il would as lief

The soldiers, having searched this side
of the valley after fashion and being,
perhaps. somewhat sleepy with the sui
triness of the afternoon, had now laid
by their vigilance and stood doing at
their posts, or only kept lookout along
the banks Of the river, so that in this
way keeping down the valley and at the
same time toward the mountains we
drew steadily away from the neighbour
hood.
By shutdown we had made some dis

though to be sure the sentry on the rock
was still plainly in our view. But now
we came on something that put all fears
out of season, and that was deep, rush

the same caution, but presently with
more boldness, standing our full height
and stepping out at a good pace of walk
ing. The way was very intricate, lying
up the steep sides of mountains and
along the brows of cliffs; clouds had come
in with the sunset, and the night was
dark and cool, so that l walked without
much fatigue, but in continual fear of
falling and rolling down the mountains
and with no guess at our direction.
The moon rose at last and found us
still on the road. 1t was in its last
quarter and was long beset with clouds,
but after awhile shone out and showed
me many dark heads of mountains, and
was reflected far underneath us ON the
narrow arm of sea loch.
At this sight we both paused, struck
with wonder to find myself so high and
walking, as it seemed to me, upon
clouds, Alan to make sure of his direc-
ton.
Seemingly he was well pleased, and
he must certainly have judged us out of
earshot of all our enemies, for through
out the rest of our night march he be-
guiled the way with whistling of many
tunes, warlike, merry, plaintive; reel
tunes that made the foot go faster;
tunes of own south country that made
me fain to be home from my adventures,

For all our hurry day began to come

Alan knit his brow.
"This is no fit place for you and me, -

And with that he ran harder than ever

the river was split in two among three
