COOLIDGE ENDORSED.
Senators From New England Recommend Him
For Treasury Portfolio.

Washington, Jan. 25.-The New Eng
land senators have agreed to unite in
recommendation of Hon. T. jefferson
Coolidge of Massachusetts, for the Office
of secretary of the treasury in the cab
met of President Mckinley.
This conclusion was reached after a
series of conferences in which the entire
New England delegation in the senate
participated. Senator Hoar led in the
movement, and made ii his business to
see all the New England senators and
present to them the advantages Of hav-
ing a man from the eastern states in
this responsible position.
The movement was precipitated by
the presence of ex-senator Cheney of
New Hampshire and General Welles
and Mr.. Dalton Of Massachusetts, In the
city on their way home from Canton,
whittier they went in Mr.. Coolidge's be-
half. These gentlemen reported to the
senators that while they had received no
positive assurance from Mr.. Mckinley,
they felt that the contest for the ap-
pointment lay between that gentleman
and Mr.. Gage. and that the outlook was
very encouraging.
Some OF the senators were at first 10th
to take up the matter on account OF the
claims OF men from their own states,
but they were at last brought to see
that the treasury portfolio was Of 30
much more Importance than any other
place that was likely to be awarded to
that section, that all consented and
agreed to unite in q recommendation

half. They were assured Of Mr.. Cool

Care Of q Bottle Baby.

A good plan in caring for bottle baby
is to give it, three or four times week, two
tablespoonfuls of oatmeal Cruel in it's milk
and occasionally little lime water. The
former will prevent constipation, the lat
ter sweetens the stomach. The oatmeal
should be cooked in water until creamy
(about two tablespoonfulso oatmeal and one
pint of water, with one-quarter teaspoon
full salt; boil slowly in a double boiler one
hour, then rub it through a sieve).
The bottle should be kept scrupulously
clean 1t is advisable to have two or three
bottles on hand, and as soon as the child
has fed clean the bottle with water, add
ing either little borax or salt; then rinse
well and fill it with cold water, letting it
stand till wanted again. The nipple should
be cleaned each time, then put in glass
with cold water until to be used again.
When the child is q year old, farina boil
ed in milk, rice, oatmeal and wheat prcpa.
rations may be given to it once or twice
daily; also baked apples In small quanti-
ties occasionally. The main food for chill
dren up to years old should be milk,
homemade bread, graham bread, cereals,
fruits, light pancakes made Of eggs, milk
and -four. Eggs should be given sparing;

No name Is more revered among Eng

Miss Ada Leigh, now wife of the arch
bishop of Ontario, justly, too, for In that
city, with its many charities and many
dangers, positively nothing had been done
for the hundreds Of British and American
girls resident there until Miss Leigh took
up their cause, nor, SO far as can be ascer
tained, are they even now systematically
aided by any missions but those with
which her name Is identified.
Miss Leigh's life has been one of useful
ness from her earliest girlhood, and 1t was
while yet In the schoolroom that she be-
gan the work that ultimately resulted in
the founding of homes for young women

When but IL, she conducted a Bible class
at Manchester numbering 400 women and

was she In this work that when finishing
her education in Paris she decided to or

the foreign city just such class as she
had held in England. With this in view
she wrote q number Of notes, inviting

"When 1 select a servant" !" said q well
known housekeeper recently, II always
consider the temperament Of the girl and
whether she is adapted to her work. If
want cook, look out for woman well
advanced in years who seems to have
little executive ability, quality which ev-
cry good cook ought to possess. A woman
who has no skill in managing her work
will make no success as a cook. AS do
not expect perfection, do not expect such
a person will be an especially amiable
woman. She must be quick and strong of
sight, with acute hearing, in order to keep
watch of her pots and pans and detect
whether they are bubbling over, boiling
too fast or have stopped cooking.
"Of course it is necessary that her sense
of taste be perfect and that Der eyesight be
keen. In short, good cook should be a
strong, healthy person of orderly habits
and some intelligence and large expert
ence How far one departs from this mod
el one we'll knows.
"It is impossible for slow, easy going
girl, though neat and orderly, to make
capable cook. A cook must be person
who can be on the alert and can systema-
tie all the details of her work. A nervous
person may be very successful cook. A
slow, easy going girl, provided she is neat,
may make an excellent nursemaid. A
nervous person will never do for such a
place.
"The first essential virtue of nurse
maid is that she be amiable, patient and
kindly. If she is very energetic girl, she
is likely to find too little to do rolling a
baby carriage in the park and walking
about with children, and she will become
dissatisfied and unhappy.
"a young girl is to be preferred as
nursemaid, provided she is kind and trust
worthy. She will be much pleasanter
companion for little ones and will win
their affections as an elderly woman sell
dom does.
"It is essential that she be trustworthy.
No careful mother will leave her nurse
maid to depend on her own judgment in
essentials, and young girl is likely to be
more tractable than an elderly woman
with fixed ideas. New York Tribune.

Infancy and Childhood.

A child should literally be intelligently
let alone. 1t should not be handled, or
held, or rocked, or amused, nor should it's
attention be attracted in any way. For
tho first five or six months it should lie
quietly in its bed or basket, be regularly
fed and as regularly encouraged to sleep.
1t will Of course get tired. Therefore Ii
needs occasional turning, with change OF
position and gentle rubbing of the limbs
or back. A good rule is to stroke the little
body for q few minutes and to change its
position, every time the baby needs to be
made dry. The natural rapid growth of in
fancy makes the flesh tingle and the limbs
ache, and frequent rubbing with the ralm
of the hand promotes future health G: well
as present comfort fpsr Ell ,fs3
In order to preserve for young babe
the proper conditions Of light, warmth
and air, and yet. to lift and carry 1t as lit
tie as possible, it is necessary to have for
its first nest movable bed. Any basket
with the sides and bottom. carefully pro
tected and padded will serve, but the most
convenient Is the regular dog basket, with
q hood on one side. This, when properly
draped, serves to exclude drafts, while
the drapery may easily be rcadjusted to vary
the degree Of light. If q child occupies q
stationary crib, it must be moved from its
bed whenever its room is aired or cleaned
or Is needed for other purposes. But when
such a basket Is used, the child and bed
together may be changed from one room
to another, or from one part Of tho room
to a darker or lighter corner, or to a cooler
or warmer one, as convenience or comfort
may suggest Most important of all, a
mother, without conhning herself to tho
nursery, can keep the infant under her
own eye while engaged in her ordinary
daily occupations Even though she docs
not personally feed and care for her baby,
she can thus supcrintcnd and criticise tho
nurses efforts.
BY this method she may also experience
the greatest Of all maternal enjoyment
that derived from watching tho daily de-
vclopmcnt Of her child. Also she can at
Che same time, without interruption or Ia
tigue, conveniently sew or read, writc or

How 60 Use Teas.

The suggestions to tea dealers of Joseph
NJ Walsh, an expert in selecting and
blending teas, might be followed by house
keepers with benefit and satisfaction The
first is the employment Of the softest water
procurable or that which has been filtered.
The next Is to boil the water quickly and
use 1t immediately upon the boiling point
being reached, as overboiling impsirs its
efficacy in extracting the full strength and
aroma from the leaves. Water short of
boiling or reboiled can only make indiffer-
ent tea, thin, insipid and unattractive In
color. The time allowed from drawing
should vary with the character Of the tea
viz, five to six minutes for China and
Japan teas and only three to four for Con-
gou, Souchong, India, Ceylon and ia
va, because Of the great proportion Of tan
min they contain. Examination Of the
leaves after being drawn will prove whcth-
er or not the kind and quality Of ten de-
sired has been supplied.
The leaves of choice, pure tea will be
found of medium and uniform size, per-
fectly formed, unbroken, and If of Oolong,
green or Japan varieties, of a greenish col
or, while Congou, Souchong, India, Cey>
Ion and Java will be dark brown. Anoth-
er important observance Is to select teas
which will accord with the water which
must be used. If very hard, Padroc, Sar-
yune and strong, tarry Ooufa Congous are
the best, with Indias of Assam variety
and heavy drawing Ceylons, including
broken leaf Pekoes, as good seconds; for
medium hard water all kinds Of the finer
favored Indias, first crop Panyongs, Kee-
mum Congous, Oolongs, Japan and green;
for soft water, all varieties and grades of
Oolong green, scented, Japan, Ningchow,
Paklin, Chingwo Congous, light drawing
India and Ceylon and all descriptions of
high favored teas should be used.-Brook-
