MISSIONARIES FOR KLonDIKE.

The Baptist home board has already
action looking to the sending of mission
aries to the Klondike region. Applica-
tions to go there have been received by a
great number of clergy, chiefly those in
missionary service in the Northwest,
where several write to say that the gold
excitement is far more intense there than
in the East, and hat thousands of all
sorts and conditions of men are selling all
they have to get money to start. The
general Baptist missionary for Oregon,
the Rev. Gilman Parker. Of Portland.
says he never witnessed anything like 1t.
The Baptists have long maintained work
in Alaska and in British Columbia, so
that the sending of men to the new gold
fields is but an extension of the work.
The Home Mission Society has started in
~vestigations into the need and character
of the work, and is searching for suitable
men to send. AS soon as possible Bap-
lists will be on the ground preaching the
Gospel to every gold hunting creature
who can be got to listen.

Church Rire..

Most church fires are due to unsafe heat
ing apparatus or lights not properly pro-
tected at the side of the building. espec-
tally in easements. Wooden steeples are
regarded by insurance men with an aver
sion that can be overcome only by the
payment of some additional premium.
There is not unanimity about how steam
pipes cause fire; whether chemically or
mechanically; but there is not much doubt
among insurance men that they do cause
fires, and there is ample testimony that
steam pipes will in the course of time
reduce wood in contact with them to the
condition of charcoal, in which condition
the wood is certainly dangerous. h
fact that the church is unoccupied so
much affords opportunity for a fire once
started to get a considerable start before
discovery, and the large interior gives
a flame air that it could not get where the
building is very much subdivided. Church
building, however. are free from some of
the dangers that building devoted to
other uses are exposed to. There is no
moral hazard in church insurance. in
spite of the apparent large number of in
cendiary fires A church properly built,
with light and heat apparatus properly
put in, mad an intelligent ~janitor. is in
very slight danger OF burning from ex-
posture to other buildings. But the Build
ing Committee should be vigilant while
the church is building, and the trustees
should see tina lighting and heating are
well cared for and the basement kept per-
fectly clean.-Church Economist.

Care of Mating.

In summer rooms, the floors of which
have been covered with mating, the
careless maid is apt to be airily indiffer-
ent to the dust which in winter would
horrify her-neat soul. She flirts her
feather buster here, there and every
where, straightens the chairs. pulls down
the shades and departs, leaving behind
her what to the hasty glance seems d
very clean and dainty apartment. The
look of dainty cleanliness too often is an
Illusion caused by the light furniture
and the absence of dark III or carpet.
In reality, the mating. which does not
show the dust and dirt to the eye of the
uninterested maid, needs q good going
over Just as much as a carpet does, and
when allowed to harbor all the dust and
germs that blow in with the summer
zephyrs is just as detrimental to health.
Every day the room should be swept
with a broom inclosed in a eheesecloth
bag, such as is used for hardwood floors.
Twice a week the mating should be
carefully washed with strong solution of
salt and cold water, never letting 1t get
too wet, and drying it as you so on with
a clean, dry cloth.-Boston Herald

perhaps the best authority in the country
on children's diseases, professor in Belle
vue Hospital College, New York, COM
rnends its use. There are hundreds of
physicians in New England, says the Bos-
ton Journal, who prescribe lactated food
Invariably as the nearest approach to
healthy mothers milk n as a rich
baby food hat builds up the strength
and bodies of young children and in
valids.
Most mothers are obliged to shorten
the nursing period. The long exacting
duty is far beyond their strength. Where
as healthy mothers milk is unquestion-
ably the best infant food, it becomes the
source of mischief as soon as it grows
weak, watery and lacking in the power
of feeding.
Toward the close of the nursing period,
or when nursing is protraeted through
the entire hot summer, few~Snothers4 are
able to nurse their growing babies as
they ought. 1t is rare that the breast
mill does not show a decided falling off
in richness. Infants fed at the breast
on such milk, insufficient in quality and
amount, soon show the effect in colicky
attacks and in diminished growth from
week to week. Their dropping heads are
continually moist, and a panied. drawn
expression-the sign of weakness, often
steals over their faces.
No mother can be long in doubt about
what to do.
The food must be changed to a rich,
safe diet of lactated food. Parents some
times make the mistake of employing
cows milk without personal knowledge
of its fitness for baby's food; trouble en-
sues in many cases. Diarrhoea and
cholera infantum result from just such
hl-advised substitutes. Fully one-half the
infant deaths are caused by improper
feeding.
When breast milk is insufficient, or the
mother not well, lactated food may be
absolutely relied on to take the place of
vigorous mothers milk.
1t is Endorsed by the best physicians. by
nurses and by happy, grateful mothers
in every town and village in the land.
