AN OBJECT LESSON.

The census OF the tenement-house
districts Of the city. just completed by
| the Health Department, illustrates In a
| most striking and remarkable manner
the usefulness and benencence OF the
| work done by that interesting charity.
''The Evening Worlds" Sick Babies
Fund.
Look at the object lesson held up be-
fore the eyes OF our citizens by the
faithful and diligent health inspectors.
A population OF l.a32. ia. living In S9. l3s
tenement-houses, of which 2.34s are rear
houses.
or this swarmlng population. lso. $50
babies under five years OF age. OF
whom nearly 1900 live in rear houses.
DO all our readers know what a rear"
house is7 A building shut
In by other buildings. without sun
light. without fresh air. without proper
ventilation, without proper drainage,
subject to the foul odors and nuisances
OF its neighbors as well as Its own.
and crowded with the poorest OF the
poor tenement-house population.
An average of a little over thirty-four
persons to each house. and about five
babies under flve years old among
them!
Now. picture the sickness. suffering and
misery that must be spread through this
baby population after taking out of the
calculation such as are we'll cared for and
leaving remaining, only :hose-unhappily
by far the greater number-who are sub
ject TO the deprivations. neglect and pains
OF abJect poverty.
Into this field OF wretchedness the doc
tors Of the Sick Babies Fund enter with
their welcome relief OF medical treat
ment, medicines, necessary food and,
where needed. luxuries
How much comfort must they bring to
the little sufferers! How many baby lives
do they snatch from the grasp Of death,
The census published by the Health De-
partment proves what blessed charity
the Fund is. and should add an Impetus
to the efforts Of those benevolent friends
who are doing such noble work to make
Its success this year greater than ever
before.

About Ham mocks.

Very few people know how TO swing
them and, as the time for their outdoor
use has come, hint on this subject may
be OF use. As an authority informs US.
the head should be about six and half
feet from the ground and the foot end
about three and three-Guarters feet. a
curve which secures to the occupant the
greatest possible ease of position. The
foot-rope should be about three times as
long as the head rope, the purpose being
to give the lower part of the body free
dom in swinging. while the head re-
mains comparatively stationary. The
ropes with metal catches are to be pre-
ferred and can be bought cheap at any
hardware store. Where trees are used
to support tho rope bearings the
branches should be we'll protected by
heavy canvas or cloth, as the friction
is apt to wear of the bark and so work
injury to the tree. White hammocks,
made Of bleached cord. can be trimmed
with ruffles or webbing, which are
cheap and effective.
