A FREQUENT MISTAKE.
Ills Arising From the Overlooking of
Young Children.


Many young children suffer from
overlooking. Mothers, eager for their
babies to become fat, or fearful that
their crying may be from hunger, un-
willingly feed them too often.
A child of three months was recently
brought to physician because it suf-
fered from collie pains, diarrh9a and
vomiting, and was poorly nourished.
1t appeared that the child had been fed
as often as it would take food, which
was sometimes as frequent as once an
hour. A proper frightening of the in
tervals between the feelings, under
the physicians advice, was productive
of good results. Similar cases arc not
uncommon.
A child of between six weeks and six
months of age should not be fed often
err than once in three hours. From six
months to ten months it should not be
fed more than six times in the twnsty-
four hours, and at intervals of three
hours during the daytime. AT ten
months, five times in the twenty-four
hours is sufficient for healthy children.
The stomachs of most children who
ire too frequently fed become irritable
and incapable of retaining food, while
the milk fed in this way by the mother
becomes so altered as to afford less
uourishment than it should.
Other children too frequently fed
will continue to digest and absorb the
excess of food given them, and as a
consequence will accumulate fat; some
times showing the result of overfeed
ing merely in eczematous, or scaly,
patches on the cheeks, or even over the
whole face and head.
When intestinal disorders result, as
in the end they surely will, from too
frequent feeding, the child will be
really hungry; the surplus food acting
as an irritant in the intestines is ex-
PEELED before sufficient amount for
nourishment becomes absorbed. The
child will then waste away, and if such
treatment be persisted in-and if it
survives-will surely become victim
TO chronic intestinal disorders.
Mothers can not be too deeply I'M
pressed with the Importance of regular
feeding at proper intervals.-Youth

rse q, su,nbur in throat Diseases.

There has been of late some discus
sion on the use of sulphur in throa.
troubles, especially those of diph
theritic character, This is by no means
a new remedy, having been used as
throat disease panacea in certain house
holds for at least quarter of CEN
tu.v. AS soon as inflammatory symp-
toms made their appearance, the throat
was thoroughly busted with sulphur,
this treatment being repeated every
hour if the case was severe. As only
good could come from swallowing the
powder. it was used with the utmost
freedom. Sometimes teaspoonful doses
we're taken with the most satisfactory
results. One of the very best prepare
tons for throat affections is equal parts
of sulphurous acid and glycerine. This
may be diluted in the proportion of
one tsaspoonful of the mixture to half
glass of water. The throat may be
brushed with it or it may be used as a
gargle. Freely applied, it will usually
relieve all unpleasant symptoms at
once, and persisted in, il rarely fails to
cure the most obstinate cases. The OBJ
lection to it is that it is too simple for
the medical profession to approv'.--N.

REl toous AND EDUCATIONAL.

God never wrought miracle to con-
vince atheism, because his ordinary
works convince it.-Bacon.
A man ought to be something more
than the son of his father. But
he should never be content to be any
thing less than the son of his Heavenly
Father.
Action is the word of God; thought
alone is but his shadow They who
disjoin thought and action seek to di
vide duty, and deny the eternal unity.
-Mazzini.
God wastes no history In every
age and every land He is working for
the elucidation of some moral truth,
some ripper culture for the character OF
man.-Phillips Brooks.
The colored people of the United
States support colleges, II academies
and so high schools in which there are
10000 pupils, They have 1,5o0, 900 chill

An official letter of the private sec

animation.
Summer schools for young men and
young women have become quite the

On May 12 the foundation was laid
at Rock Hill, S. c., for the Winthrop

Winthrop Normal school of Columbia
will be incorporated in it, and the in
dustrial feature will be added so as to
make this worthy complement to the
Clemson Industrial College for Boys
which now has 500 students.
The University of Wales now has a
royal charter by which, for the first
time, degrees in music are to be grant

musical degrees is not clear, and the
fact is the more remarkable, inasmucf
as the only lady who at present is q
doctor of music is the Princess o

The HABIT OF HAPPINESS.
Comment That win Apply Equally to
Parents ind Children.

Parents ind Children.
1t is just as well to teach children
the habit of happiness, as TO allow them
to grow up in constant state of mo.
rose irritability and fretfulness,
Very few people realize that irrita.
bility and fault-fnding are merely a
habit, and that, too, of the most dis
agreeable sort. 1t is comparatively
easy to see why such an inclination
grows upon the children. The parents
are worried and veXed, wearied with
the cares and responsibilities of life,
and thus not particularly good-natured.
They not only encourage by their own
conduct the disagreeable practice Of
grumbling and fretting, but are often
so irritable, that the innocent amuse-
ments of the children CRATE upon their
feelings to such an extent, that the
Youngsters are forbidden to romp or
play about the house.
One New England woman, whose
soul was burdened with care, and who
felt at war with all the world, used to
punish her children when they romped
and rebuked them when they laughed,
charging them with most outrageous
ingratitude and cruelty, because they
could be merry when she was so UNI
happy.
Many child has gone about the
house, sullen and silent, for this very
reason. Many another has gone out
from the home circle to seek its pleas.
1res elsewhere, because the atmos
phere of home was so depressing and
gloomy as to be intolerable. One OF
the greatest mistakes of life is to cul
iivate the habit of expecting too much
If circumstances.
There is bound to be just so many
drawbacks, just so much misery, pain
and unhappiness in the world, and
those persons are the wisest VINO make
due allowance for this state of affairs
Very few things in this life come out
as we desire, and it is the most eyre
gious folly to expect any such thing as
perfect happiness, and that all things
in this world will come to us in our own
way.
While it is not all worth while tt
cultivate a demeanor anywhere ap

is an excellent idea to educate onesel.
up to the belief that this is a rather un
certain existence, and that the best one
has right to expect is the middle
ground of comfort, and the absence o
Affections.
One of the ablest of contemporary
writer's makes one of her character
declare that the greatest happiness sh'
ever allows herself to anticipate is tina
she may be spared great sorrows. Lit
tie troubles are certain to come, thos,
there is no such thing as avoiding, ant
when one knows that this must be thu
case, it would seem the part of wisdom
to SO prepare the mind for them tina
their coming will neither disturb tn,
even current of life nor upset the TEN
per and nerves to such an extent as t.
make the sufferer and all immediat,
friends sharers in the depression.
There is nothing more helpful thai
real, genuine, hearty, heartfelt fun
and if children and young people wer
encouraged to indulge in more of it
and if parents would take even moder
ate doses of it themselves, the worlC
would be in a much more comfortable

his delirium he would recall the thrill

battlefield-the hand-to-hand conflict

other stage he would speak of his

belief in her truthfulness and purity,
the intense desire to be with her and
the hope that in the near future he
would call her his own. Then doubt
would cross his disordered brain, and
