Infancy and Childhood.

Every physician encounters deplora
bic cases of children three and four
years old whose diet consists almost
exclusively OF meat, simply because
their perverted appetites dema nd that
article. In such extreme instances
the most severe measures arc iusti.
fable in order to resume the natural
and healthful method of feeding, to
save the child's health, if not its very
life. We should permit it to become
genuinely hungry by Withholding ali
meat, or even all food, until it VIII
consent to recommends taking milk.
We may aid the child to overcome
any temporary repugnance to milk by
making it as palatable as possible. 1t
may be aerated in milk shake,
beaten in a -whipper, favored
by oyster juice and renamed "oyster
SOUP" seasoned with any harmless
essence.
Variety is desirable, and even nee.
essary, in the diet Of oil children but
in seeking variety we should never
lose sight of the main principle-th
milk should be the chief and frequent
article of diet, and meat, if not wholly
excluded, admitted only as an occa.
sional and non-essential part in the
diet, of any child under six years of
age. Mary children reach that age in
superb health aud with fine physical
development without having known
the taste of meat. The little one will
naturally tire of milk ii he is always
given plain milk, milk. milk, without
any change. But milk with oatmeal.
milk with hominy, milk with cracked
wheat, with cracked corn, with rice,
with baked apples, seem in infantile
judgment quite different dishes.
There are also the various cream soups,
made up without butter or seasoning,
beyond the natural pinch Of salt.
This we may vary with number Of
articles not taken with milk, but
served in different course. -aarper'S

Road Making in England

The average width of country roads
In England is fifteen to thirty feet, II
respective of foot walk. MacAdam,
the great pioneer in road making,
who lived in Scotland and England In
the early part of the century, said
"Roads near great towns ought not to
be less than thirJ y to forty feet wide
but Mt distance from such towns il
would be a waste of land to make them
so wide. A road should be as fiat as
possible, with regard to allowing the
water to run off at oil, because car.
rage ought to stand upright in travel
ing. as much as possible. have gen
orally made roads three inches higher
In the centre than at tho sides when
they are eighteen feet wide. If the
road be we'll made, the water will run
off very easily in such a slope"
A report prepared by the chief en-
gineering inspector of the board gov.
erning British highways contains the
following: In adjusting the size of
drains TO roads, one important consid-
Grafton should always be borne in
mind, and that is, that the velocity OF
the water should not be so great as to
wear away the sides and bottom of the
drain. The drain should be too large
rather than too small, and too wide
and shallow than too deep and mar.
row. In the use of broken stones for
the formation of roads, MacAdam at
tached the greatest importance to the
size. He said that size of stone used
on road must be in due proportion
to the space occupied by a wheel of
ordinary dimensions on smooth,
level surface. This point of contact
will be found to be longitudinally
about an inch, and every piece of
stone put into "A road which exceeded
an inch in each of it's dimensions is
mischievous. Since his time there
have been notifications of this idea.

The Original Color Of Flower.

Some scientific papers have ondeav-
ored to show that in the early ages all
flowers were yellow, and the various
colors we now have have simply fol-
lowed the introduction OF insects
that flowers have, in other words, been
made beautiful in order TO render
them attractive to insects, to encour-
age their visits, so that the cross-fer.

Poisoning BY Ivy.

The poisoning by the poison ivy is
we'll known. In resent years a belief
has arisen that u number OF plants
have the same poisoning propensity as
the poison ivy, though not In as marked
degree. The strawberry has been
charged with such bad manners. as
also has the pretty Himalayan prim.
rose OF our gardens. Handling of tho
roots Of tho hyacinth, and OF the com.
mon Gala, or Easter lily, has been
said to bring about the same trouble.
The matter has recently been taken
mp by botanical Chemists in the Old
World, and been found to have no
relationship to tho trouble that arises
from our poison vine. These plauts
at times have the power OF forming
raphides OF oxalate OF lime. and 1t is

Advantages of ELECTRICITY.

. While electricity is certain to effect
very material saving in manufactur-
ing, 1T has other uses quite rs import
ant. Where there is one factory, there
may be hundreds of dwellings,, and
when the electric current can be intro.
duced into these dwellings,, its advan.
tages will be manifold AS to econ
omy, the Niagara Falls power has pro-
duced the most startling results. 1t
costs but $50 year per horse power
for electricity used twenty four hours
in the day. This is much less than thu
cost of steam used ten hours n day.
There are hopes that even these fig
ures will be very materially reduced,
and that new appliances will show new
uses for electricity, and that we will
not only have our houses lighted and
heated by this means, but it will be
able to perform many services auto
matically. One of the latest adapta.
tions of electricity is its use in laun-
dries. The irons are heated by cleo
triclty, and by proper regulation, a
current is used which is absolutely
uniform. All OF the heat is utilized,
and every stroke of the iron tells, as
there Is no waiting, or wondering, or
questioning if the iron is hot enough.
Another great advantage is that it does
not heat the room, as the radiation
from the iron is not perceptible. Gas.
heated irons vitiate the atmosphere,
and the operators become weary and
lcck vitality. Where natural gas has
heretofore been employed for heating
irons, it is now used to generate cleo
= tricity, and the change is of great adj
vantage, both finencially and in point
of health: SSAAeY York Ledger.

United States Consul German at Zu
rich reports to the State Department
that MIR. E. Moyatt claims to have
discovered a process by which dIa.
monds of larger dimensions may be
produced. In principle his process is
similar to the one already used-that
is, to crystalline carbon out Of iron and
steel by means of high pressure
and high temperature. Yet there is
an Improvement in the technical oper-
alton. Pulverized coal, iron chips and
liquid carbonic acid are enclosed in
strong steel tube, Theoretically sealed
and subject to an electric current be-
tween two terminals in the ends of the
tube. The iron liquehes, is saturated
by part of the pulverized coal, and at
the same time tho liquid carbonic acid
evaporates, thereby creating enormous
pressure on the liquid iron and coal
This process considerably increases
the dissolution OF the coal in the LIQUID
iron. While the mixture is cooling
the carbon crystallizes partly in the
form of real diamonds and partly in
the form of similar stones. These
crystals are released from the ingot by
the iron in diluted muriatio
acid. The mixture by this method re-
mains under high pressure during the
operation OF the electric current. -
