Articles That Are Necessary to Make the
Little Beings Comfortable.

Articles That Are Necessary TO MAKE the
Little Beings Comfortable.
Everyone has a different idea Of what
the wardrobe for the little baby should
consist. The babies themselves are
pretty much alike in their require
ments, and so it seems that they might
be governed by one simple rule.
The foundation is generally the same,
but the variations are found in the diff
ferent forms Of elaboration and ex-
pense. In this article 1 want to tell
what is necessary to make the baby
comfortable and how to arrange for it.
We will begin with the bands-the first
article of clothing that is put on the
baby.
These. of course. are made of flannel.
They want to be made from nice
piece, at about 60 cents yard, and
should be torn in strips fifteen inches
long and FIVE inches wide; six are
enough. Do not turn down the edges,
for even that little hem is rough for
the baby's skin II any decoration is
wanted buttonhole them along both
sides with white silk. That is all that
is necessary
The incest shirts are those made
of silk and wool mixed, high
neclzed and long s1eeved- These should
button all the way down the front. 1t
is much easier to put them on when
they button in that way, and saves put
ting over the head, which the baby
always dislikes- They can be bought
for Sill apiece. Six is generous sup
ply, and two can be boughta size larger
than the other four, which should be
the smallest size. A less expensive
skirt that is very good is of cotton and
wool mixed. for about 65 cents.
Next come the barrow skirts. These
are made with a cambria waistband,
inches deep and 10 inches long. The
flannel is gathered in at the bottom of
the band and should be about 25 inches
long. 1t is left open all the way up,
and is bound with flannel binding all
around the edge. The same quality
flannel as used for the bands will do
for these. There should be six Babies,
as a rule, do not wear the barrow skirts
longer than the first three months
Then they will need the flannel skirts,
which do not differ very much They
are larger, and do not open UP the
front, and are generally embroidered
around the bottom There is no better
or prettier way to finish flannel than
to work it in this way. OF course it is
much less expensive to buy the flannel
and have it stamped and do it yourself
than it is to buy the flannel already
embroidered. If it is a winter baby"
a good plan is to make the band of the
skirt also of flannel. These skirts
should be quite full to look nicely

of the bark Peter Pridell, which was off
Valparaiso when whirlwind passed
over her stern, taking away everything
movable, sails and all, on the after part
of the ship, leaving the forward end I'M
touched. Here was the sharp end of
storm with vengeance. Almost as sur
prised at their good fortune and narrow
escape must have been the crew of the
barkentine Fortunate, which, while on
voyage from Rio Grande to Liverpool,
felt tremendous shock that could not
be accounted for until the vessel was put
into dry dock, when the sword of a
swordfish was found to have penetrated
some feet into the wood of the hull.
Yet another of the curiosities of the
sea is the occasional shower of fish
bones or the like falling on the deck
when many miles from land. These
showers are easily explained. The fish
are taken up III WaterspOuts and come
down i'll more or less rarefied condi-
ton. But perhaps the most awful of all
things that can happen at sea is a fire.
A severe squall breaking over the vessel
unprepared for it, and with all her sails
set, is bad, but the experience is short,
sharp and generally decisive, but for
long drawn out agony there is nothing
like a fire, especially if it is among coal
and there is also dynamite or gunpow-
der i'll the cargo. -Pittsburg Dispatch.

A Difficult Scheme.

1t was Cam bridge car, end it had stopped
just in front of Beck hall. Mrs. Casey,
who sat near the front door. tackled her
bundle of washing and started to leave by
the front platform The bundle was rather
large and decidedly awkward to handle,
and when she reached the street it slipped
from her grasp and fell upon one of the
tracks.
She started quickly to recover it, but a
sudden apprehension seized her, and she
stopped. Looking at the motorman, she
said doubtfully, If Oh put me fut on the
track, will Oh how a shockS"
mo, madam" replied the motorman
gravely, mot unless you put your other
foot on the trolley wire. '-Boston Budget.

To make convenient bag for paper
and Irvine, double a yard of creponne,
joining the edges with puff of cam
brio of solid and harmOnizing color
At the top turn in each of the four
edges for several inches, so that the
two sides end in point. Fasten these
together with button and buttonhole
and sew here ribbon loops and ends by
which to hang up the bag To one
side sew a triangular outside pocket,
with box-plait in the middle of it.
Make deep rather than broad; this is
for the Irvine. 1t forms very handy
receptacle for wrappings and one to

some Points About Pins.

Thorns We're originally used in fast
ening garments together. Pins did not
Immediately succeed thorns as fasten-
ers, but different appliances were used,
such as hooks, buckles and laces- 1t
was the latter half of the fifteenth
century before pins were used in Great
Britain. When first manufactured in
England the iron wire, of the proper
length, was filed to a point, and the
other extremity twisted into a head.
This was slow process, and four or
five hundred pins was a good days
work for an expert hand. The United
States has the credit of inventing the
first machine for making pins. This
was in 1924 The inventor was one
Lemue1 Wellman Wright. Many re-
markable improvements have followed,
and the machines Of the present day
send off, as if by magic whole streams
of pins, and these fall so nicely adjust
ed for the papers pricked for them that
two small girls can put up several thou
sand papers in a day--Ladies' Home

there is a way to clean windows and a
way not to clean them The following
suggestions may be of use to some, as
they save both time and labor: Choose
a time when the sun does not shine on
the window, else it will dry streal1ed,
