THE CHILDREN'S TABLE,
Useful Suggestions For the Hy:ienie Diet
Of Chiidren.

Useful Suggestions For the Hy:ienie Diet
Of Chiidrer.
A few hints as to what not to give
to young children may be helpful to
mothers. for children are creatures of
habit from earliest infancy, and if they
have formed habits of caring for cake
and sweets and refusing other food
whose fault is it: How many mothers
give d child slice of bread not only
thickly buttered but covered with "a lay
er jf sugar or jam besides? Was not the
bread COOL enough with either alone:
Such mothers when demonstrated with
answer, why, my child would not eat
bread and jam unless it We're buttered
also" That habit was formed in the
child Icy the mother. Even Young chill.
dren are very shrewd i'll dealing with
their elders and will soon discover their
weak points. Perhaps when there are
callers the mother. to avoid a scene,
gives "A piece Of cake. and this is adroit.
ly made use of to secure like favor at
q subsequent time.
Young mothers, do not allow your
own ease and comfort at the moment to
cause your child to form u pernicious
habit, be it the candy habit or the cake
habit. Consistent firmness will spare
you world Of trouble and ANNOYANCE.
OF course q piece Of light spongecake
will not hurt a well child, but let it be
given as "a rare treat. Never give any
kind Of pastry. You and your child will
be happier for it. Neither are rich pud.
dings and pudding sauces allowable.
Tea and coffee should not be given
under the age of 81. Old vegetables or
hearty fruits, such as bananas, should
not be given to children under 6.
a helpful book for mothers is "How
TO Feed Children" by Louise Hogan.
The following extracts may well be
copied in large letters and hung in the
kitchen or, pantry wherever children's
food is prepared.
THE amount Of nutrition required
in every instance must be carefully con-
sidercd. One Of the most important rea-
sons for this is that energy must not be
wasted in getting rid Of superfluous ma
tcrial. as organic disease may result. A
little food thoroughly digcsted is far
better than much that is half digested.
Many If the diseases to which children
are liable would disappear under strict
supervision Of hygiene and diet, espe-
cially the various intestinal disorders,
including many resultant throat, ca
tarrhal and nervous troubles. Nature
rcsents carclessncss and is relentless in
her punishments.
"A legal enactment in France pro-
hibits the giving of any form Of solid
food to infants under 1 year Of age
without authority Of prescription from
Il qualified medical man. The employ
ment of the rubber tube for nursing bot
ties is also forbidden, as it is almost i'm.
possible to keep it clcan.''
Left overs are decidedly not to be
used i'll the nursery, if for no other rea-
son than in many houses cooked and
uncooked foods Of various kinds are kept
in uncovered dishes from day to day in
one common refrigerator or closet, alb
sorbing unwholesome germs from sur
roundings that, to say the least, are not
sanitary. American Kitchen Maga-

Paradise fishes come from Japan, and
their nests are very odd, indeed, for
they are composed of air bubbles. Un-
like goldfish. they will breed and raise
their young in an aquarium or even q
glass globe, and. as they raise three or
four broOds each year, the girl or boy
who owns a pair of the interesting pets
is almost sure to have a large fish fam
lily in q few months.
Ordinarily the male paradise fish is
of dull silvery color, but when he goes
accounting he puts on q brilliant coat,
striped with streaks of red, blue and
green. When the female fish is ready
to lay eggs, she builds her nest by swal-
lowing air and making bubbles. which
are held together by sticky secretion
that comes from her mouth.
The eggs rise in the water and find q
resting place among the air bubbles, to
which they cling. The female fish tries
to swallow the eggs, but her husband
drives her away and keeps guard until
the eggs are Matched. If the air bubbles
burst, the male fish blows some more,
50 that the nest is always floating on
the surface of the water.
At the end of five days the young are
matched out. They cannot swim, but
cling like tadpoles to the air bubbles.
1t one falls, the father fish catches it in
his mouth and blows it up among the
bubbles again. He does not leave his
little ones until they are able to swim,
and then they take care of themselves.
The paradise fish grows to length
OF three or four inches and thrives best

are kept from the cold, they increase

New Plants Are Expensive,

Our beds and our borders become
crowded, and yet we are always meet
ing with plants we should like to pos.
sess and might easily grow; while, as
if in despair of keeping pace with the
times, societies are formed which de-
vote themselves to the cultivation of
some particular flower; firms associate
themselves primarily with roses, lilies,
chrysanthhmums or orchids and are rec
osnizcd as authorities, and costly illus
trated books make their appearance at
such frequent intervals that in some di-
rectiOns they bid fair to develop into
libraries, with the varieties CT one flow
er as their subject. No pains or ingenu-
ity or money is spared, and unique
specimens are searched for in the most
distant parts Of the wCrld. The outlay
in some cases is enormous
Orchids being very special branch
Of the gardeners art, it is well we
should refer to the enormous sums that
are expended in forming collection of
these fascinating flowers. Syndicates
are constituted for their importation
and number of skilled collectors, who
often carry their lives in their hands,
are always at work in the East Indies,
i'll Mexico, i'll the hot, steamy swamps
OF Brazil, in Madagascar, searching
for new specimens. Twenty thousand
pounds and more, it is said, may be
easily spent upon a collection; 80 guin-
eas have been paid for Cypripediun
stonei, 300 for Wanda sanderiana, 235
for Erida laurencia, 22O for Cattle
va mendelli bluntii and the prices of
large number of others range from
100 to 200 guineas plant.

SOLDIERS NAY
BE SHOT.
Killing Of Private Weaver by
Order ofLieutenant Clark
Held to Be Justiha-
bic.

War Department has made
public the proceedings of the
court of inquiry, which exam
med into the killing of a pri-
vate in Company c, Twelfth
Infantry, in pursuance OF an
order from a commissioned Of
fcer to a soldierto Shoot the
private. Fhe case has at
traoted considerable attention
among the officers ofthe army,
owing to the unusual circum-
stances attending the killing
and the question involved Of
the right of an officer to order
a man under his command to
shoot a eomrade in time of
peace. In several cases in
the West Civil Courts have
upheld the shooting of soldiers
under certain conditions, but
the case referred to differs
from those decided.
The officer who ordered the
shooting is First Lieutenant
w. 0. Clark, Twelfth Infantry.
The circumstances were these:
A private of the Twelfth In
fantry by the name of Weaver
assaulted First Sergeant Liv-
ingston of the same regiment.
In the course of the scrim-
mage which took place,
Weaver broke loose from the
Sergeant, and, running to a
gun case in the guard room,
picked up a musket and fired
at the noncommissioned off
Ger. The shot killed him.
After killing Sergeant Living
ston, Weaver assumed a
threatening attitude toward
other soldiers standing by
Among the witnesses of the
killing was Lieutenant Clark
Fearing that Weaver would
fire again, and to prevent
further loss of life, he ordered
Private Strine to shoot anc
Kill Weaver. This Strine did

court of inquiry alter investi

New Idea Of Teiec rMphy.

From San Francisco Examiner.
Col. Bellon of the French artillery
observed not long ago that ii n tele-
phone was in sufficient proximity t.,
although not in actual contact with, u
telegraph line, it would be influenced
by the current of the latter. Certain
sounds were produced in the telephone
whenever Il message passed along the
telegraph line.
lie has now succeeded by long con-
tinued experiments in pertccting sys-
tenn showing the phonetic impression
produced by each letter of the Morse
alpha bet, thus enabling anyone with
some practice to read by the sound Of
the telephone any message circulating
in q neighboring line. 1t will be read
lily understood that this discovery may
be of great Importance in war time, as
in this way telegraph line might be-
tapped without in any way interfering
with the current circulating in it, and
hence without the slightest indication
to the stations connected by the line.
