NURSERY HYGIENE.

An infants thirst is not quenched
by milk; it needs clean water to drink
with regularity.
Plain, boiled water, given between
feelings, will often aid the digestion,
and satisfy the child when restless.
Never put bottle nipple into your
mouth and then into the baby mouth;
this will often prove dangerous.
Do not feed the baby because she
cries; this may be due to pain, and il is
harmful TO fill an infants stomach at
such time.
An infant is a creature of habit, and
usually responds TO the wish of the
mother, if the mother has order in her
will.
More infants lives are taken by over
feeding than by starvation; never liken
an infants digestion or diet to your
own.
Cholera infantum would be of rare
occurrence if proper attention was al
ways given to the quality and quantity
of the food.
Regular habits, proper food, and long
hours of sleep are necessary conditions
to healthy infant. The three prime
essentials in the nursery are fresh air,
good food Snd pure water.-N. Y.

THE THIRTEENTH FLOOR.
A Dimcu,ty Discovered In the Renting
of Skyscrapers.

The business and professional men
who contemplate hiring an office in the
business end of the metropolis can, il
they not superstitious, secure
quarters at comparatively low rental.
\ few days ago rents on the thirteenth
floor of a recently built sky scraper
were reduced a third. The cut was
forced by the dread with which some
folk of the class named regard the nuri-
ber 13. Other tall Office buildings are
in the same predicament, and thi.
teenth-foor offices are said to be a drug
on the market. This is a new and un-
expected problem for landlord and
agent to solve, and if the Is hoodoo hits
all the high structures hard as it has
hit one on Nassau street, the architect
of the future will have to scratch the
thirteenth floor off his plans or put the
roof on at the twelfth story. The agen.
of this tall and elegantly equipped pile
couldrG- for the life of him imagine
why the thirteenth floor remained Va
cant. Business men. lawyers, all kinds
of professional men were anxious to
take offices on every floor save the thir-
teenth. Those above it were full. like
those below it; but up to few weeks
handsome suites on that floor.
Finally. the thirteenth floor began To
be regarded with some degree of mys-
terry, even by the superintendent and
his staff. 1t was noticed that all who
came to look at the offices there were
delighted with them until they hap
pened to discover that they were on the
thirteenth floor. Then they gracefully.
though mysteriously, transferred their
inspection to some other floor. Then it
dawned upon the heads of the high
house that the superstitious aversion
to No. - was the secret, and the agent
finally decided to balance the supersti-
tions of would-be tenants against their
cupidity by reducing thiIteenth-fioor
rents on-third. This action has broken
the hoodoo, for to-day some of the of
fees of the supposed-to-be unlucky
floor are occupied. Some of the older
sky-scrapers that are supposed to be
overcrowded with tenants lave vacant
thirteenth-story rooms, but so far no
attempt has been made to overcome the
folly by lowering rents. When the
giant st. Paul building, now far above
its thirteenth story, is ready for occu-
pancy, the superintendent and others
connected with its management Will
utilize the unlucky floor. At least this
is how the agent expects to get around
the hoodoo that men who seem to be
sound mentally attach to the tricky 13.
In strange contrast is the fact that dar
ing aerial artists now filling an en-
gagement at a music hall here are y q.

bad luck which some of their admirers
declare is bound to come before they
leave town. The Thirteen club doesn't
seem to be fulfilling its mission here.

THE BABY'S FIRST SMILE.

There's many pleasure we meet with in
life,
OF joy there is many a thrill;
There are transports that come in the
midst of the strife,
When the noise of the conflict Is still.
But there's naught in this world won
d'rously sweet.
From Greenland's white SHOWS to the
Nile,
There's nothing so heavenly pure and COM
plete
AS a dear little baby's first smile.
The lovers first kiss-we know IL is fine:
Its memory will haunt for aye:
Though the flowers may fade and the stars
may decline,
Its rapture will never decay.
Yet not for moment can we compare
What may have a tincture of guile,
In an Eden of blossoms SO fragrant and fair.
With an innocent baby's first smile.
An angel. perhaps, is a beautiful sight.
But angel we never have seen,
And far far away on the regions of light.
With their daisy-starred meadows 50
green;
But We are content when here We behold.
Encountered with burdens the while.
\ gleam from the city whose streets are OF
gold,
In sweet little baby's first smile.
