The daily rule for sleeping and eating
for the average child is that it should,
when one month old, be fed every two
hours from 5 A. M. to IL P. NJ, sleeping
from that time until S A. NJ. again. says
"Harper's Bazaar" At three months it
should be fed every two and one-half
hours from s A. M. to 10 P. M, sleeping
from 10 p. M. to 6 A. NJ. At six months
it should be fed every three hours from
6 A. NJ. to 9 P. NJ, sleeping from 9 p. M.
to 6 A. M. At one year of age a child
should be fed at seven, ten, two, six and
nine o'clock. The first and last meals
should be given to the child In bed, from
the bottle, while the other three meals
should be fed from bow and spoon, in
order to begin the weaving process.
During the fast of the night there
should be always ready by the bedside a
thoroughly clean nursing bottle filed with
water that has been boiled. If the baby
is wakeful. fretful, or hungry, allow him
to nurse from this. A few swallows will
suffice to calm him. The ordinary heat
of the chamber will render the water
warm enough for a child in health. If
the infant is delicate or i'll, the drinking
water must be warmed to $50 Fahrenheit
in a cup of water placed over an alcohol
lamp on the table. Sometimes when a
baby is breast-fed it will not drink even
water from a nursing bottle. in which
case it is necessary to moisten its
mouth as often as it cries with a fine
soft white cloth saturated with water.
An older child should be fed with water
from a spoon. Water the child must
have, and in abundance, during the
troublesome nights when the habit of
sleep is not yet established and the de-
sire for night meals is not thoroughly
overcome.
Besides this most important sleep at
night, regular day maps must be estab-
lished as soon as possible. A newborn
babe should, and usually does, sleep most
of the time; but if it is of a nervous tenn
permanent there is danger, as it grows
older, that 1t will fall into the habit of
catching short nap at d moments, and
of INDUCING in no profound lasting rest
during the whole day. BY the time a
hild is three months old it should have
formed the habit of sleeping 0 eight
hours at night, and of mapping at least
two to two and one-half hours twice dur
ing the day. The intervals after the 10
A. M. and 8 P. M. feelings are the most
favorable times for rest.

Isn't it torture to watch the average
woman In the restaurant order a lunch
even If that lunch cost fifteen cents
and not a penny more? If there are two
women together the case is infinitely
worse. The two women read the bill of
fare, first of all, separately. Secondly,
one of the two reads it aloud to the
other, and they hold a consultation while
the maid, tray in hand, stands by. Then
the following conversation ensues:- |
IT think I shall order chicken BROTH

why, yes; If you like 1t. Do you think
their oysters here are good?"
"Oh! They ought to be. What do you
say to chicken salad for two?"
Don't care for salads. Think I'll try
lamb chops"
rs it lamb chops, then, ma'am," asks
the maid.
"Well, no. On the whole, I don't think
I want the chops.
And then they compromise on charlotte
russo and tea.

s~uas.on, of course, this invalid, and is al
ways enjoying some interesting compiica-
ton Of which she speaks with never-fail-
ing vivacity. You see her everywhere
and are filled with envy at her lucky
choice of diseases, for no matter how aw-
full her recital she manages to look as
round and firm as a nice red apple. And
you sigh at your own stupidity, and
think how automatically you suffer with
a mere cold, and perhaps haven't even
energy enough to remember that you are
