Government Botanical 0ddItis..

There are many odd and curious speci
mems of botanicallrarities lin the Govern
ment Botanical Gardens at Wash ington.
None, however, attract moro attention
than that remarkable Oriental oddly, the
'''barber .plantI" 1t was not given Its
odd name, as some might suppose, be-
cause Its leaves are like razors or its sap
like lather. Neither will its inner bark
make splendI III fowls (as Is ssd of the
vegetable cloth" tree), or its seeds
make r~azorshones. 1t is simply called
the barberFplant because the Juices oil
either t~hesleaves or fruit applied to the
face prevents tho beard from growing.
Mr. Davis says that this does not apply
to cases where the beard has taken root,
but that it may be applied with perfect
safety by boys who desire to keep tho
hair on Atheir faIses from getting a start.
Another cddfty pointed OUT to the in
terested visitor at the Government gar
dens isthe so-caHed .'cruel plant, (which
belongs to tho "liy-trap" order. This
vegetable Nero kills just for the pleasure
of being a murderer. The leaves Of the
'oydel plant exude AN Intoxicating honey,
which regularly attracts flies, bees,
butter flies aud other busy little hutterers.
The slightest touch Of these little crea.
lures causes the,leaf to close in the rear
hy-<ap fashion, squeezing this Intruder
outiof all sembhnce OF an insect. As
o o assdeath stops the struggles of the
insect and the irritation ceases the leaf
slowly opens, drops the,mangled remains
to the4aoor and automatically sets itself
for another yictim.-St. Louis iRepublio.

TIE San Francisco Argonaut, com.
menting upon the endowment of the
University which bears the name Of
the late Leland Stanford, says that
the property which wfll come into its
possession when Mrs Stanford leaves
this world includes s,40o acres al
Palo Alto, %, 900 acres at Gridley,
and 80, 900 acres at Vina, and that
IF all the land In the three proper,
ties which is suited to vine-growing
were planted in vines it would repre-
sent the enormous sum OF 5000, 600, :
900 and an annual income of over
all, DOC, 900 a year." The @lf," how
ever, Is tho uncertain quantity which
stesds In the way OF knowing what
this endowment means. Many
ranches In California valued at mill
ions yield no net revenue, and the
great body of the land donated to
this university thus far has yielded
little beyond the taxes and operative
expenses Until these lands can be
rendered profitable no revenue valua-
ton can be put upon them The
real endowment is the q, 500 600 Of
interest bearing bonds left in the
will by Mr.. Stanford, which,ought to
yield s126, 600 per annum to meet the
running expenses of the University.
Mr.. Stanford has done a noble and

CARING FOR THE BABY.

YouDg mothers are always a~nxicas TO
get all the information possible OF this
subject, so l will tell of a few things
have learned from experience aud OBJ
servatlon.
II a mother cannot nurse her baby,
or IL her milk is lacking in nutritivs
properties, which is often the case, she
will find an excellent substitute in lac
tated foods, Of which there are several
good varieties. Cows milk often dis.
agrees with a very young beby, as
COWS often eat all kinds of weeds and
drink water that is far from ueing
pure. When the baby's lif: is at
stake, and we cannot control the food of
the COW, l consider it safer to provide
| other food for him.
Feed the child ut regular interva's,
and the same amount each time. Un-
der two months he should be fed every
two or three hours during the day. and
| not quite so often OF night. At six
months of age, five or six times during
twenty fonr hours will be Sufficient. Or
| course the bottles and rubber nipples
should be kept sweet aud clean,
and that abom nation. %therubber tube,
should never be used. They caunot
be cleansed, and their use has undunbt-
| eddy cost many lives. Give him q tea
spoonful af fresh water several times
during the day. especially in warm
weather. He gets thirsty ns well as
| we.
After the baby has passed his sixth
month. he may be fed n little boiled,
rice, very slightly seasoned with salt,
in addition to the lactated food. Some
babies like tapioca and sage, but the
mother should lie careful not 10 give
too much of these for they often disagree
with the stomach. If care Is used in
feeding him, his bowels will generally
give no trouble, but If he has q dIar-
rh@a,a physician should be summoned.
Diarrhnal disorders may proceed from
several causes, no two of which re.
quire the same treatment, but L have
found the following q remedy for some
cases:
Aromatic powder of chalk and
opium 10 grains; oil of dill, o drops;
simple syrup, 4 drains; water, 8 drains.
One half a teaspoonful to be given to
an infant of six months or under, and
o %terspoonful to a child above that age
every four hours, until the bowels are
checked.
Teach the baby to take mis- sleep reg
ularly, and remember that a great deal
of sleep Is necessary for children.
Have all garments loose enough for
comfort. Use no starch in his cloth
ing, and keep his bibs and diapers dry
if you have to change them every half
hour or ~oftener.
DO not keep the little one bound up
in heavy fannels during the hot wealth
er. A bath in water, that has been
left in the sunshine until one or two
o'clock in the afternoon will often pre-
vent the ''cross SPELL" so common to
babies in the evening. In giving the
bath great care should always be taken
to prevent exposure to drafts of air.
The baby should be kept, when in the
house, always in a particularly we'll
ventilated room, and should be kept
! out OF doors as much as possible, but
not exposed to burning sun or high
winds.
