APPROPRIATIONS WANTED.
Public Works Department Needs Adj
ditions to Some Of Its Funds.

The city controller has been asked by the
Board of Works to recommend appropria-
tions as follows: M
For blank books, printing and stationery,
$500; fountains and wells. 5000 garbage
disposal and Sellers farm, $500; repairs to
public buildings 81 COO.
The first item is made necessary by num-
erous changes in specifications, etc. which
required new printing and the payment OF
$500 more than was anticipated for printing
and binding the city ordinances. New wells
that were not contemplated and changing
several fountains has exhausted the money
in that fund. The cancellation of the con-
tract for hauling garbage and the failure
to make a new one makes Ii necessary to
have more money in that fund.
Building Inspector Pendergast has recon-
mended that the meat market house roof
needs painting and the desire to light Tom
linson Hall with electricity makes ii neces-
sary to have about $500 more than is in that
fund. The Board wants some money left
in the fund for an emergency.

Teething and Its Perils.

The period of dcntition is nearly always
one of anxiety to the parent. 1t certainly
Is not always without peril to the infant,
The age of infancy is characterized by
changes which are not only numerous but
In many instances at least too rapid for
the constitution of the little one The va.
rious organs are in a state of growth and
development, q circumstance which in IT,
self is sufficient reason for the peculiar
susceptibility of infants to disease
But moro than all the brain and, in fact,
the whole nervous system are influenced by
a multitude of impressions from without
and within which, in the child's undevel-
oped state are often overpowering More
especially is this the case when the sensi-
tiveness is heightened by the irritation
caused by the process of tecthing.
Under these circumstances the child be-
comes peevish and restless upon the Slight
est provocation. The general fcverishness
of the body, be it ever so slight decreases
proportionatcly its ability to withstand cX-
ternal influences.
The intestinal canal, upon which nature
relies chiefly at this period of active
growth, becomes torpid and the bowels
are constipatcd.
We can do much toward relieving t!c
child from the bcsctting danger Of TIL,
period, however, By taking a hint from
nature and maintaining salutary loose.
ness of the bowels, which will act Us a
waste gate, protecting the nervous ccntcrs
and the various important organs of the
body from harm.
This, together with frequent washings of
the mouth with cold wdier, is sufficient to
ward off many an attack of serious illness
which would otherwise come as result of
the general irritation excited by the proc.
ess of tcething.
We should never cndeavor to hasten mat
ters by messing the gums. That is an ex-
pedicnt which should be resorted to by
physicians only.-Youth's Companion.

Treatment of Children.

A woman experienced in training q
large family of children, and also in the
management of institutions of reforma-
ton, gives it as her judgment that chill
dren should be treated like little animals
until they are old enough to be reasoned
with; then moral suasion may superscde
stern direction. She thinks that in their
infancy and early childhood they should be
made to obey just rs we force an animal to
obey, thus instilling a natural habit of
obedience This, while the child is impress
sionable, starts it on the right road, and
when its reasoning powers begin TO develop
at g 3 or years the word obey is not so
tremendous mountain to climb for either
mother or child, and moral suasion is the
more easily accepted by tho little one.
Obedience must, of course still BIO en-
forced, but as it has learned the habit
there is not likely to be as much difficulty
as If no forcing had been practiced. Her
opinions are of value, for her children are
examples of the most beautiful obedience
and respectful courtesy. One does not of
ten enough see inherent delicacy and re-
spect toward parents in children Of the
present generation Any new idea or old
one in new form for the better training of
Young America in this regard should have
q cordial reception

Women and Bicycle Riding.

In the Boston Medical and Surgical
Journal DR.. Charles W. Townsend states
that he sent list of questions to IS wom-
en- physicians in Boston and throughout
the state in regard to the value of bicycling
for women. The replies cover the field of
bicycling for women very satisfactorily,
showing that the bicycle is of great value
with various forms of uterine disease, and
when improperly used may do harm. Out
door exercise is of great value to every
one, and women, as n class, suffer greatly
from the lack of it,
Another thing from which women suffer
is too heavy and too tight clothing. No
amount of dress reform preaching or of
calisthenic exercises will remedy these
evils or awaken the woman to u knowl-
edge of the possibilities of the enjoyment
of life. This is what the bicycle is doing
and is destined to do.
In the same journal DR.. James r. Chad
wick publishes an article entitled Bicy-
Gle Saddles For Women, in which he re-
marked that he finds no serious attempt
has as yet been made to produce "A saddle
that shall be adapted to woman's anat-
omy. Saddles in most use require many
adjustments to be comfortable to the gen
erality of female riders. Some of the sad
dies are absolutely untitled for the use of
women and teachers have no definite
ideas by which they can adapt the saddle
to the use of women.

Omnipresent Woman.

The woman is coming out the more the
century is going out She is not only ell
bowling men from avocatiOns in which she
can as fifty serve, but in the attempt is ac-
curing more self confidence and looks less
to marriage certificate as her main Ii
cense to subsist herself. There is much
beyond the home that she may worthily
do, and tough she is ordinarily said to
have no head for figures, save that which
her own head surmounts, the treasury de-
partment at Washington long since found
that women are by far more expert aud
accurate counters of money than men.
A woman's head is imprinted upon all
our coin, and IA woman may bear her head
on erect shoulders wherever such coin may
be honestly earned, She wants fewer SON
nets to her treSscs and more tasks to her
hands, even though she may have an adc-
quate exchequer to obYiate her recourse to
the commoner tolls. The tenS of thousands
of mems letters that from American WON
ems finger tips go daily forth in typewrit-
ten messages over the land symbolic the
communicable power of women in re en-
forcement of progress of which man long
conceived himself to be the sole factor.
There is scarcely project or an estab-
lished institution of charity which is not
largely indebted to the soicitous activity
of women. Walls have risen, wards have
been furnished, gentle administration as
sured and ingenious plans to replensh asy-
lum treasures have been devised and con
summated by women. The noble monu-
ment that crowns Bunker Hill and the
still nobler one erected ut the national
capital to Washington ; memory are monu-
ments as well to undaunted women to
whom men abandoned them as unfinished
piles. Many park has been rescued rs a
green oasis from an omnivorous town and
murmurs its grateful tribute to women
who raised funds to that end.-New Or

Mrs, Lyman Abbott ON Nagging.

well known physician, u student Ct
health us well as disease has called out
indignant denials by printing his opinion
that women do nag. He has done it in the
most considerable way, reminding one of
the person who, in calling another liar,
said he did not mean it opprobriously, but
merely stated it as IA fact. And the dcnials
are made in IA fashion quite TOO feminine.
at isn't so, and besides there is good ex-
cuse for it, " our defenders say. Nervous
irritability, a narrowing and belittling
sphere, the constant presence If obnoxious
and veXatious persOns-What wonder that
human nature exhibits unlovely traits I'M
der these provocations?
1t will do us no harm to look this accu-
sation fairly in the face and see whether it
be familiar of ours with new and ugly
name. There is no dictionary at hand,
and l cannot verify my definition, but l
suppose that what Is meant by the word
"nagging" is constant repetition of petty
reproof or command 1t is IA habit which
every conscientious housekeeper and every
thoughtful mother is very much in danger
of weaving for herself, and for fear of
which many a woman lets things GO to
the injury of her home and her children.
How often the tired mother has picked
up" after husband and children or done
the forgotten errand rather than seem to
be "nagging"
1t does fall to the lot of women to do
most of the SO called training of children.
In many cases it is truly the blind leading

The Homemaking Instinct,

We believe in cooks, we admire good
housekeepers, but there is ever so much
moro than the knowledge Of how to make
bread or manage servants necessary before
nome becomes actually what it's name i'm
plies. IL Is dangerous experiment we
admit for girl without the first idea of
culinary laws to start out with menape
of her own, but we guarantee that if she
possesses the true homemaking instinct
tho first emergency that throws her on her
own resources will bring to the front all
those latent powers which fne has hereto
fore had no occasion TO exercise.
A home Is the dearest spot on earth Ev-
cry stick of furniture speaks its individual
language of welcome and repose and this
spirit emanates always from the feminine
head of tho family, who can either make
or mar 1t according TO her own manner
and way of doing Haven't You been in
some houses where the meals prepared by
the skillful hands of the mistress were alb
solutely perfect but where they were eaten
in such an atmosphere of frigid formality
that even the pufliest biscuits lay heavy on
your conscience at least and 1t was a re-
lief to escape to some less pretentious
abode, where perhaps the chops were under
done and the soup very watery but where

Good cooking is not the Fundamental
principle of domestic happiness as much
as 1t may be prated by some people. 1t is
very pleasing adjunct and one not to be
lightly thrown aside, but the real home
maker must possess other attributes that
will last during those many intervals be-
tween meals when even the thought Of
food has no power to charm. -ExchnnRe.
