increased gradually. Cereals and
starchy foods should not be given until
he is seven or eight months old, then he
may be fed little boiled rice seasoned
with salt and butter in addition to the
lRctated food. Some babies like
srrowroot, sago, and tapioca, but mothers
should be careful not to allow them to
eat too much. When ten months old,

even while teethinR, but if he has
diRrrhea, have a medicine prepared as
follows:
Aromatic powder Of chalk and opium,
ten grains; oil of dill, FIVE drops; simple
syrup, three drains; water, nine drams.
Give an infant of six months or under
half teaspOonful, and a teaspOonful to
a child above that age, every two hours
until the bowels are checked.
The care Of child costs much self
sacrifice, but can any mother hold her
baby in her arms or kiss his dimpled

how to improve the COmplexlOn.

"The secret of bad complexion"
said well-known physician recently,
sis a bad digestion, and we generally
trace that to bad liver. One Of the
best remedies for q sluggish liver is
cheap and pleasant. Dieting is the
secret Of the cure. The best liver reg
ulator for persons Of sedentary habits
and those are the ones whose compilations
are muddy--is to be found in apples,
eaten baked il they are not we'll digested
when eaten raw. I attended the pupils
at q well-known boarding school, and
among them was a country girl whose
complexion was the envy of al her
associates. I found that she was very
light eater at her meals, but she had a
peculiar custom OF taking a plate Of
apples to her room at night and eating
them slowly as she studied her lessons.
This was her regular practice. Some Of
the other girls in the institution took it
up, and I know as a result Of my
personal investigation that the apple
eating girls had the best compilations of
any in the school. 1.-THE American.

The Baby.

There are many women who are
interested in anything pertaining to the
care Of children, and 1 wish to tell young
mothers a few things l have learned
from observation and experience, es-
pecially the latter,
The baby's bath, next to his nap, is
the mOstimportsnt event in his existence.
In order that he may derive all the
benefit possible from it, the water should
be Of mild temperature, and in order
to have the temperature the same every
day, thermometer should be kept on
hand to test it.
Baby's clothes should be designed for
the most warmth with the least possible
weight. Let the weight hang from the
shoulders, instead of being supported by
pressure around the waist. Bands are
not Decessary after the first few weeks
OF baby's life, and are often injurious,
causing the very troubles they ars
supposed to prevent.
If q mother cannot nurse her baby, or il
her milk is lacking in nutrition, which is
often the case, she will find lsctated food
an excellent substitute. l raised three
babies upon it, and it would be hard to
find healthier, heartier children than
they we're. Feed the child at regular
intervals and the amount given should
vary but little. Under four mouths Of
age hs should be fed sVsrY two hours

HOME READING
THE LAND OF THE LONG AGO.

There's q dear old home In the Far Away,
A soft snug meet where the children play,
A realm OF rest where the old folks stay,
In the Land OF the Long Ago.
There's o dear old homo where the roses twine
And the fruit hGngs ripe on the tree and vine
Where the Pates we're good TO me and mine
In the Land Of the Long Ago.
Oh, never q map shall point that place;
Nor over the drift Of time erase,
But the hUnRePinR heart the lines shall trace
OF the Land Of che Long Ago.
And ever the tide Of my lifes swift stream
Rolls back TO the bay OF blissPul dream,
And live and laugh In the CLINT and glesm
OF the Land Of the Long Ago.
On the north and south are the joy and rest
OF sisters smile and mothers breast;
And o fathers love to The east and west
OF the Land OF the Long Ago.
We shall all come back fro n the desert, "Sigh,"
We shall all come home to the "Soups Reply"
We shall all return in the "By and By"

How to Eat q Banana.

The banana yields more food to the
acre than any other plant, and yet it
disagrees with no end of Northern
stomachs. This is because we eat it the
wrong way. But the wife Of missionary
to the tropics tells the glad tidings from
hsathen shores OF how to eat q banana.

coat that lies beneath the rind, and you

on the number Of dollars. You can
make dollars desrsr or cheaper by
changing the quantity. Now, this is a
simple proposition. It is fundamental,
and when you have studied it and when
you understand it, you understand the
money question, Suppose that we were
walled in and had enough wheat 10 the
enclosure to last year, and taking
supply and demand in consideration,
wheat was worth dollar Dushel; and
suppose that the wheat was gathered
into two great piles, and one woman
owned one pile and another woman
owned another pile, and suppose that
the owner Of this pile Of wheat should
read in the papers that that pile Of
wheat had been destroyed by fire and
that the people, instead OF having both
piles for their years supply, must all be
fed from this pile. Now, what would be
the result? Every bushel Of wheat in
this pile would rise in value. Why?
Because the demand for wheat remained
the same and the supply Of wheat is cut
in two. Now what is the second thing
you learnedP That the lady who owns
this pile Of wheat will profit by the rise
of wheat. And what is the third? She
will be glad that it was the other pile
OF wheat that burned instead of hers.
(Applause.) Now that is a simple
question. Let me apply it to silver. We
have about four billions Of silver money
and about four billions Of gold money
in the world. Suppose we destroy one
pile and make the other pile do the
service Of both, what is the result? The
demand for money remains the same and
the supply Of money is cut iu two. The
result must be that the value OF each
dollar will rise. When wheat rises in
value q bushel of wheat brings moro
money; when money rises in value
dollar in money buys more wheat. What
is the second result. The people who own
the money, or who own contracts pay
able In dollars, profit by the rise and
they are very glad Of the rise. (ApplauSe.)

money, and dearer money means cheaper

simplicity in a Chlld's Dress.

Simplicity is the order Of the day in
the costumes Of children, says the
Philadelphia Enquirer. Even the very
wealthy clothe their little ones in dimities,
chsmbrsys and lawns, trimmed only
with narrow lace frills or transformations
embroideries. Sometimes the frocks
have no trimmings save tuchs. Low
necked and short sleeve dresses are in
high favor and have been worn by small
Parisians for two years past. Delicate
children wear guimpes beneath such
costumes, but the others look charming
with their dimpled arms and shoulders
exposed.

Bryan'S Talk to Women.

AT Minneapolis, October 13, Mr..
Bryan spoke to an audience Of 1900
women. No men were admitted. His
remarks were largely Of political
nature, but the case was put so simply
and clearly that the women who read
the ADVOCATE will no doubt be interested
in reading the following synopsis Of his
remarks:
"a lady who wss canvassing down in
Nebraska the other day gave utterance
to one Of the best things which I think
this campaign has enjoyed. She was
canvassing and called at our house to
get some literature on the silver ques-
tion to circulate as she went from place
to place, and while there she said that
she had brother who was gold man,
without gold. Naughter.) She said
she could not understand how man
could be gold bug who had no gold,
but she could only pity the gold man
who was without gold. (Applause and
laughter.) And you know, my friends,
that that is the condition in which q
large majority OF the gold men are
gold men without gold, and when you
find the gold man without gold you can
find one whom you can convert, because
while the gold standard is good thing
for few in this country, the gold stand
ard is bad thing for the great mass Of
the people, and the reason why our
cause grows from day to day is found
in the fact that the arguments in behalf
Of bimetallism appeal to the heads and
to the hearts Of the American people
and the gold standard appeals only to
the heartless. (Applause.) The reason
why the mothers are taking such an In
terest In this campaign, the reason why
the wives are feeling deeper interest
than they usually do, is because they
are becoming acquainted with the gold
standard. They know that instead ol
being just measure of deferred pay
ments, the gold standard has become q
measure Of deferred hope, and hope de-
ferred msketh the heart sick.
"Ttis money question ia not too deep
to be understood by an American cit

An Enraged Elephant.

Chicago. March 25 W H Harris
big elephant, Gypsy, became anmau-
ageable at its winter quarters 90 the
West Side this afternoon and before she
could be got under control killed her
keeper, tore down frame building and
created great excitement, which drew
thousands of people to the scene.
Harris circus is quartered at the cor
ner of Roby aud jackson streets 10
six-story brick building, and Gypsy
occupies the greater part of the first
floor. Her regular keeper is Bernard
Shea, but Shea is at present 10 Omaha
and the animal was temporarily in
charge of Frank Scott, lion tanner.
Early this afternoon, Scott, by orders.
took Gypsy out for ride iO the alley.
Gypsy did not seem inclined to stop at
the boundary of the alley. and Scott
gave her jab with an iron hook The
beast became enraged, aud throwing
her keeper from her head, where be
had been riding. proceeded to pound
him With her trunk and succeeded 10
killing him and knocking him through
board fence.
Mrs. Harris came to the rescue with
q pitchfork. She was knocked down.
but pluckiiy jumped up and commenced
battle. She soon had blood streaming
from wounds in the elephants side. and
the beast ran away towards the end of
the alley. Hers was standing q large
crowd and many were the bruises re-
ceived in the scattering which took
place when the elephant started ont Of
the alley. Gypsy did not 60 far. but
vent back for Scott, wbo io the meao-
time had been moved into wooden
building just opposite the elephants
quarters. The animal knocked 10 the
whole side of the building in her eff
forts to get at the man again. During
this time. Mrs Harris had sent for all
the bread and cake that could be bought
in the neighborbood. aud also tele-
phoned for Claude Oftop, the horse
traiaer, who soon arrived. The ele-
phaut euiesed down some while she
was eating so loaves of bread, q large
number of cakes and other delicacies
which were placed before her. After
she had finished eating, she walked
into her barn and the heavy doors we're
shut after her. The door had 20 sooner
been shut than the elephant, with one
blow shattered it and ran .out again.
By this time every street 10 the vicinity
was crowded with excited people.
Three wagon loads Of police came to
the rescue. but could do nothing fur
ther than keep back the crowds. None
of them wanted to undertake the job of
claiming the enraged beast. and it was
impossible to kill her with their small
calibre weapons. The elephant had
her own way for about four hours,
when she went back into her stall and
allowed Orton to chain her. Harris
has owned the ANNA! for Eve years and
has had DO trouble with her before
Frank SCOTS right name is unknown.
He would never tell who be was. aud
although be has been with Harris cir

You sball be confronted by the Virginians
who we're the comrades of your immortal
glory and who are your brothers forevsr.
You shall see again the women who uursed
you back 10 vigor from the feebleuess of
wounds and want, from the wretched woe Of
your losses, and who pointed the dying gaze
of your fellows to the heaven which stopped
to eufold them.
Your eyes shall behold for themselves the
city which proudly wrapped herself in your
patriotic flames, from which she has emerged
thing of beauty and JOY for always.
You. shall revisit the battlsields which
have been consecrated by your blood, and
where, if you lest your country, you found
fame that fills the world.
Heartily helped by our city aud her citi-
zeus, we are building for you place of re-
union in which ten thousand of you may
make the welkin riog to the music of Dixie
and to the chorus of the Rebel yell.
On some appropriate day Of the Reunion
you shall be part and parcel of the rearing o f
that monument which shall be to Jefferson

ideat and dwelt as such in the capital of your
Confederacy, but because be was the un-

sgain the old yell, and raised again the old
aag
Come, then. Come to our hearts and
homes and TO these bivouacs. Before We pass
TO the great beyond We ought TO have one
