party, recollect that simplicity is the first
thing to be sought The invitations
should be addressed to the children, and
should be worded like this:
Ny dear--. THE little hosts name.l re-
quests the pleasure of your company at his
birthday party on Saturday afternoon, Octo-
Der 1st, from to 6. Affectionately yours,
Send out the invitations about three
days before the party. Select the items
of your menu with the same idea of sim
plicity in view. For your first course
you might have bouillon in cups; pass
crackers with this. As a second course
give the children chicken, creamed, and
serve in shells or little nappies. With
this pass sandwiches made of very thin
bread and butter, spread with finely
minced tongue. Serve also bread and
butter, cut very thin and each slice
rolled. Tie every roll with a narrow
ribbon. If you wish more than this
have scalloped oysters and cold chicken
instead of the creamed chicken. Have
nothing the children will have to cut up
for themselves. After this course have
ice-cream, or jelly, or charlotte russo, or
blanc mango, and a plain cake-sponpe
cake is best; then set a plate with finger
bowl and dolly between that and the
plate in front of each child, in place of the
ice-cream plate. Pass the fruit and
The child should set the finger-bowl
and dolly on the table, and use the plate
underneath for this course. When you
set your table, arrange flowers in the CEN
ter, and put on your dishes of fruit,
candies and cakes. Set the children's
places around the sides, and by each lay
German motto for favor. These are
not to be pulled until after the feast. The
little hosts place should be at the head of
the table. and in front Of him may be the
round birthday cake, iced. The seven
candles upon it may be fastened on by
little tin sockets that come for the pur-
pose. The candles should be lighted lust
before the children come in, and should
remain burning throughout the feast, if
they are long enough for this. After the
last course they may be blown out, and
the small boy should cut the cake. 1t
may then be passed. To amuse the chill
dren in the afternoon, have such simple
games as Going to Jerusalem" Hunt
the Slipper" "Blind man's- buff"
French Blind-man's- buff" and the
like. About 2 o'clock ask them out to
supper. Let them come two and two.
If there are more girls than boys, let two
girls go together. 1t will be pretty idea
to mark each child's place by dainty
card bearing his or her name. You
will probably have to seat the little
folks yourself. The chicken add boullon
should have been ready beforehand, and
only need 10 be heated for a few minutes
before serving. The little boys presents
should not be put on the table. Give
them to him earlier in the day.-Harper's s

fcially digested, that is, turned into
sugar by the addition of malt.
For the first ten months of life, if
necessarily deprived of its mothers milk,
the infant should be fed upon cows milk
only, prepared as already suggested. 1t
is common error to suppose that solid
foods such as these flour preparations
are more nourishing because they are
solid, but, as we have seen, such is not the
fact, as they fail to be properly absorbed
and are always wasted in larger proper
tlons than is milk food.
After three or four months, however,
they seem to be more digestible, and
after every effort has been made to main
tain the milk diet, If the child is not di-
gesting 1t well, small quantities of these
digested foods may be added and their
value tested.
The incoming of the teeth indicate that
the baby must be gradually accustomed
to some changes, although milk should
form lis principal food to the age of two
years.
With the appearance of the teeth we
may give little boiled rice once daily,
with milk, or bread and milk, or zwie-
back. Meat broths are desirable once in
the day, and the milk may now be thick
ened with flour once or twick daily. Too
much bread or Zwieback or even flour
pOrrluSe SnOulQ be avoided. Drinks
made of prepared cocoa are also very
nourishing and generally digestible. the
cocoa containing large amount of fat.
After the appearance of the teeth we
may also give a little scraped beef, once
daily, and this is generally well digested
even by small children.
No careful mother will permit her child
to feed at the family table with tastes of
the ordinary dishes there used. But one
frequently sees nurses furnishing the
babies with these articles. One such. in
response to inquiries about the baby's
diet. remarked: HE do be very fond of
cabbage
The custom of giving infants any of the
stirnulants used by adults cannot be too
strongly reprobated, although ii is a very
common practice among our foreign pop
ulation, as well as in the homes of the
poor, where tiny babies are given whisky
and water, beer, tea and coffee with great
freedom.
Such drinks are poisonous to the little
ones, and very generally stunt their
growth.-Dr. Mary I. Bissell, Professor
of Hygiene, Women's Medical College,
New York, in Louisville Courier-J Journal.

Marble to Mud.

Grover Cleveland gave his instructions
to the Democrats of New York to the
effect that Murphy should not be sent to
the United States Senate, but the boss
happened to be another man than Cleye-
land and Murphy was easily elected.
The Empire State is therefore represent
ted by two political wire-pullers zone Of
considerable finance but no great intel
lect, the other of less than mediocre abil-
ity, a man in fact, who has nothing but
his cheek and his political pull among
the worst element of the Empire state to
recommend him.
Contrast with these. two their prede-
cessors in Office. the brilliant Evarts and
the energetic Hiscock and we have
almost recurrence of such an event as
called forth Blaine's bitter attack upon
CoHkling. The senate is already repre-.
sented by wealth in preference to brains
and now to select such man as Murphy
and clothe him with the senatorial togs
is only to go from bad to worse. Well
might Cleveland chafe under his inferiori.
ty as boss and wish that New York
might be represented in the upper branch
of congress with brains and intelligence

Editor Donnelly,

Ignatius Donnelly is once more safely
instituted in the position of the Peoples
Party Boss and It is also quite probable
that he will be given newspaper in
which to express his views. This will at
least be novel and unique.
But what kind of an editor will Don
nelly be? Will he devote his attention
chiefly to the worship Of Bacon or will
he pay. a portion Of his respects to the
"gaunt and cadaverous' Wheelock Of the
Pioneer Press Will he think always of
the Golden Bottle, or viii his thoughts
once in 2 while pause to consider the sill

which q Minneapolis jury gave to soothe
his offended virtues? Will he be con
tent to catch the poor subscriber with
the effulgence Of his wisdom, or will he
send forth an edict that every man who
believes in the overthrow Of monopolis
must pay his mite towards the support
of the great man who IS SO willing to
sacrifice himself for the good Of the
cause that he will leave the bosom Of his
family to accept newspaper plant as a

Why?

When the Board Of County commits
sioners awarded the county printing to
the Sleepy Eye Herald, why did it do it:
The Herald was by no means the lowest
bidder, for Editor Strasser in his miscon-
ception of the terms ''folio'' and illegal
rates" had innocently offered to do the
same amount Of work at a figure that
would have saved the county considera-
bic money, Surely the commissioners
cannot fall back on the defense that the
Herald is an English paper and the Post
is not, for last year the Post was paid the
same rates as the other papers for it's
publication of legal notice and in the no.
tees sent out to printers this year it was
admitted on the same terms as the Others.
Besides all the notices, like the financial
statement and tax list, would have ap-
peared in the Post in the English Ian
guage and through it's medium would have
reached as large a number of people as
through the Herald.
And now let us consider the difference
that it would have made to the county
if the Board has not acted so partially.
The financial statement this year at legal
rates would amount to about 5000, &C.
cording to Auditor Krook's estimate.
For this the Herald will receive about
SIS, whereas the Post would have done
the work for less than $25. 1t isn't
much in itself, to be sure, but when
measured by the test of economy it
counts up quite alittle. And so itw would
be with several other matters, on which
the Herald's bid was higher than the
Posts.
Perhaps the people don't care about
matters of this kind, but when the COM
missioners are so anxious to save that
they find it necessary to reduce the su-
perintendent's salary about seventy i've
dollars, why not treat other official af-
fairs with the same eagle eye towards

Tie purpose for which The Agriculture

cultivate a rivalry by bringing the pro-

siderable expense and amusements Of an
other character are necessary to attract
the crowd. To look after these and to
suggest wherein the exhibits can be made
better as we'll as to draw instruction from
past efforts, should be the work of the
society and particularly so this year.
New Ulm cannot afford to give up the
fair, neither can the people of the county
for both profit from its being held in
proportion to its magnitude. 1t behooves
the society therefore to appropriate
every opportunity towards devising
means for making each fair better than
the last. Debates on great subjects of
national concern will not do this. They
may enable those present to relieve Their
minds Of Individual ideas but they do
not sell tickets at 25 cents a piece. They
we've rather intended for high school
rooms and political clubs.

A Governor Who Is Governor.

The ne W executive of this state, Re-
publican by the way is showing the stuff
of which he is made. His message in
the first place was a credit to- the man
hood and independence OF the author
Unlike the executives who have gone be-
fore him, he boldly tackles the wheat
question and advocates the carrying out
to the letter of the platform on which he
secured his election. It was the only
platform in fact that offered to relieve
the wheat seller of the burdens which
Cypress him, and Gov. Nelson goes even
further and points out method. As a
second good thing he dispenses with the
governors ball, an act which will NO
doubt cause many of st.Paul's society la
dies to wish that their "lovely DAM had
been elected instead Of this plain man OF
the people. e.. '....
Continuing still further, he showed
that he had the sense and the indepen-
dence to disregardMe phistophelesKie hle's
manipulations and take into consideration
one who has "nothing but his brains to
recommend him. These are but the
earlier acts of the chief executive but il
he continues in the same strain, the peo.
die will learn to respect him and feel
that they have a governor WHO'S his own
boss.

The Doodle Business,

The boodlers have apparently given
up the fight. The scheme they under
took to work under Democratic inspira-
ton was not lacking in audacity or even
in impudence, whatever may he said of
the sagacity, to say nothing of the hon
esty of those who inspired it. They pro-
posed to elect as against Davis some 9th
er Republican, if they could find one
who would accept the doubtful honor,
by combination of the Democratic and
Populist cohorts, reinforced by the pur-
chased individual treachery Of fourteen
Republicans. They expected to bring
the Democrats and Populists. into line
with the weighty political argument that
the defeat Of Davis, after his election had
been demanded by the Overwhelming
voice Of his triumphant party, as direct
ly recorded at the polls, and by his en-.
thusiastic nomination by the Republican
Legislative caucus, would prove fatal
blow to the Republican party, whose
consequent demorali zation, indignation
anu disgust would turn to the great adj
vantage Of the Democrats while, on the
other hand, if the Democrats with the
aid Of apostate Republicans, should elect
a Republican in place. Of Davis. the can
