very little table salt. Don't neglect to
give little babies plenty Of pure cold
water to drink in hot weather. They
need it fully ss much as adults Feed
It to the littlest ones out Of spoon every
hour.
For constipation in these little folks
avoid physics always, but rub the bow
els or knesd them gently two or three
times daily. Apply warm castor oil OK
ternslly, freely. A gentle laxative and
excellent corrective is the phosphate of
soda, especially if the movements are
pale or clay Colored. 1t is safe. Thirty
grains In the drinking water Of one day,
to year old babe, is about sufficient.
The stomach disorders often cause a
sore mouth which becomes troublesome.
This is quickly cured by tea made by
sleeping an ounce OF the inner bark Of
the white oak tree in a pint Of water.
1t may be used freely as a mouth wash
and will do no harm if swallowed. Some
sore throats yield TO it quickly. A little
borax may be added to it.-FGrmerS'

Wearing Flannel.

Flannel should be worn during the
summer months as we'll as the winter.
Many persons think that on the approach
Of the hot weather they should at once
discard all flannel garments. But this
is q great mistake. The common woOlen
flannel should be worn. One color has
no advantage over another. To wash the
flannel, put into a tub, pour some strong,
boiling sosp-suds on it, leave it till the
hand can bear the water, then pour it
of and add clean water, boiling hot; lot
this stand, also, as before. Pour off and
add more boiling clean water, and when
cool enough, merely squeeze the gar
ments with the hands-no wringing or
rubbing. Stretch it Immediately on
line in the hot sun, or before hot fire,
and as the water settles at the most
dependent part Of the garment, press 1t
out with the hand, and be careful to
stretch the fabric as soon as the water is
squeezed out, aiming as much as possible
to keep the flannel hot until it is dry. If
Woolen garments are treated literally as
above, they will remain pliable and soft
until worn out.-FGrnl, Field and
FiTeSide.

Quick STEAMED PUDDING.-A good
cup of -four sifted with one teaspoon
full of baking powder, mix with one cup
Of sweet milk; put layer Of this batter
in a pudding dish well-buttered, dot
over with any kind of jelly or preserves,
pour on the remainder OF batter, steam
one hour and eat with sWeetened cream
or sauce.
The following is nice dressing for
lettuce, potato salad, or water cress:
Chop in dice one-fourth pound bacon,
fry brown; add one teaspoonful -four,
two dessertspoonfuls sugar, one dessert
spoonful salt, six tablespoonfuls good
vinegar, five tablespoonful water; let
all come to boil; remove at once, and
pour over.
There are several ways Of loosening the
glass shoppers Of decsnters and bottles.
One is to stand the bottle in hot water,
another is to drop little oil with
feather between the stopper and the
decanter and stand it near the FIRE.
After a time strike the stopper gently
with a piece of wood on all sides, and il
it does not move repeat the process. A
strip Of flannel or wool wound around
the neck of the bottle and smsrtly pulled
backward to produce friction, will
sometimes loosen shoppers.

Is 1t a Virtue?

Is it a virtue to say just whatyou think
on all occassion5e Is it a virtue to say
that which hurts the feelings Of others,
simply because 1t is the truth, when there
Is no necessity Of saying anything? II
good cannot be said Of anything, why
say anything?
It sometimes looks as though the
boasted frankness Of certain persons was
simply malice, and the woman who
prides herself upon always saying what
she thinks, is the woman who has no
friends. Oh, but she claims her honesty
will not allow her to flatters. 1t is her
lack Of good breeding and tact which is
willing to hurt some ones else feelings.
The woman who is so candid in finding
fault with others, hates the one who finds
fault with her, and with all her boastGd
honesty-about other peoples short
comings-she is more apt to prevaricste
about her own affairs, than less out
spoken person.
A truly kind-hearted person will look
for the best in people aad their actions
and that they speak Of the best and
ignore the rest, is no sign Of fulsome
flsttery, but simply q benevolence Of
feeling towards othels. - Wisconsin

To Destroy Ants.

Ants are fond Of fresh lard, and can
be easily captured on plate of that arti-
Gle placed in their runway. But | have
never found any plan Of capturing them
to succeed half 80 well as several plans
to make them, Of their own free will,
leave the locality. Ants had runway
into one Of my benches coming in from
outside the greenhouse; finding out
their run planted tomato plant there
and the ants left. I have used branches
Of tomatoes or leaves put in their run
way, or on the pots they infested, re-
newing them when wilted, and found
the ants soon left. I have little doubt,
although have never tried it, that the
branches and leaves of the castor oil,
bean would accomplish the same result
as no vermin will come anywhere near
it. Ihsve found gopher holes perma-
nently vacated after l had stuffed some
castor oil leaves down them with my
walking cane. But [ have found that
where q few tomato plants are kept in
odd corners for cutting, as needed, moth
ing else was necessary for ants.

If piece Of camphor gum is placed in
the drawer where are kept dress waists

The Boy on the Farm.

1t is great mistake to attempt to
keep o boy on the farm il he does not
belong there. We believe that every
body is created for some particular,
sphere, and II man is out of his sphere
he will make a failure as sure as
fate. II q boy has q talent for farming
he had better stick to farming, not only
because 1t is his sphere, but because it is
the only calling in which he will make
success. Farm life is not what it was
fifty years ago. There was nothing
attractive about it then. It was drudgery
pure and simple, and the farmer had not
asserted himself and shown what was in
him.
Nobody, whose opinion is worth
continental, denies to-day that the farmer
may not possess as much brains as any
other man possesses. Many OF our
foremost public men are farmers,
especially in this Western country, where
merit Of any kind will certainly attract
attention sooner or later. Farming is
not lucrative business, and it never
has been. But no other honest branch
of business in the world is lucrative to
the vast majority OF people who are in
it. A man, who for years had been a
member Of one OF the largest dry goods
hrmsin Chicago, died short time ago,
and he left an estate Of $4,000 only.
There are not many Marshall Fields or
Mandsl Brothers in trade. Most Of our
business men are living from hand to
mouth, working hard to pay their debts
and never getting them paid. Where
there is one Armour there are hundreds
who have little to show for their life's
work.
The business Of farming averages
about as well as other lines Of business.

rich, but IL he il out Of debt which NOT

Summer Disorders.

Stomach and bowel disorders consti-
tute by far the larger proportion Of the
summer diseases of children. Simple
methods prevent the development, or
quickly relieve many Of these disorders.
Domestic tradition, or what some
kind-hearted old lady has sald, often
causes mothers to be mlsled. This ap-
plies to the staten ent that a mild diar-
rheS is snecesSsry with teething children,
and that there is nothing worse than
constipation. The measures used to
relieve the constipation are often worse
than the condition itself, and the mildest
diarrhes should never be neglected.
Constipation does very much less harm
than diarrhes. A lingering diarrhes
will SOW the seeds of a long list Of serious
and intractsble disorders Of the stomach
and bowels.
The most common first cause Of these
troubles is o sour stomach. This causes
a decomposition Of the food, digestion is
suspended and fever follows. The un-
digested food produces irritation Of the
stomach and bowels, which quickly sf-
fects the nerve centers and spasms occur.
To correct the scidlty Of the stomach,
lime water is the commonest remedy,
but there are others as good or better.
Pure wood charcoal is excellent. A
little Of soda, the bicarbonRte of soda, in
the drinking water is excellent. There
is comparatively new chemical remedy
which will yet become a domestic rem
edy, and which will excel all others. 1t
is the peroxide Of hydrogen. Two or
three drops with every drink of water
the babe gets, or every hour in cases at
all severe, quickly corrects acidity, pre-
vents decomposition Of food, and stimu-
lstes the digestion.
For the family teaspoontul Of this,
in q gallon Of cold water, will destroy
every possible organic impurity, and il
drank freely will keep the digestion in
excellent condition. 1t is far superior
to the boiling of water. This water ia Of
inestimable value in all events, especially
typhoid, and In the cure of diarrhea it
is Of great assistance.
Great care must be exercised in the
selection and preparation OF the food Of
infants. 1t must be prepared fresh for
each feeding. In feeding COWS milk a
little water must be added always for
babies under three years Of AgO, and q

Recked not the passage OF hours.
Our passions flood rose ever,

Till the brook became river,
And the river became q sea.
