HINTS FOR THE HOUSEHOLD.
Some Suggestions Concerning the
Little Ones.


Make baby as free as possible. Don't
swaddle its little, soft legs up in pin
ming blankets, but leave those legs loose,
so they can kick about and grow strong
and healthy. Ii is Il crime TO put so
many clothes on a baby. People of ma
ture years fret with the weight of cloth
ing they must carry about, and il is not
fair to load little helpless children down
with them.
1t NAV seem old-fashioned and, ac-
cording TO the present day etiquette, it
is decidedly so, hut it certainly does
sound nicer TO hear children say ives,
sir" and mo. sir" than to hear them
say plain yes and mo" when asked
a question or requested TO do some lit
tie thing, and it is absolutely refresh
ing to find among the spindle-legged lit
tie imps who wear knee breeches and
carry watches now and then one who
lifts his cap when spoken to on the
street by lady. After ALL a few more
dear old Turveydrops in real life would
make it n more comfortable existence.
Life in its completest sense is worth
studying, worth considering how to get
Ant NtlN bNSN Oul VI IT. anu SQutE Tue
least. Our children should be taught
from their infancy to make the most
of their advantages, that they may get
all the good out of life and avoid all un-
necessary pain. The old hymn said: 1T
is not all of life to live nor all of death
to die" and there was much homely
philosophy in it. just to live for sell
alone is sordid and selfish and grows
to sin at last. To seek death to avoid
the consequences of this selfish sin is
not uncommon, and the death is but
typical of the life. Lead your little ones
gently but firmly along the right path
from the start. and you will have moth
ing to regret in afterye
Don't neglect the little woolen waist
bands for the children when you go
away for the summer. When the even
ing gets little cool and you let the
children play outdoors, slip the waist
band on and there will not be so much
danger of taking cold. A little cash
mere sack, unlined, if you please, is also
a nice thing TO carry along on little
country trips, in case the weather
should suddenly turn cool.
Some children suffer dreadfully with
hives, and it is always dangerous to
drive them in by applying things on the
outside, as they denote impurity of the
blood that ought to be brought out in
sead of driven in. While you are giving
it some mild blood medicine you can
ease the dreadful itching of the hives
by baths of salt water or by applying
damp soda directly to the bumps. Both
are good remedies for mosquito bites
and will do valiant service in ridding one
of chiggers. Coal oil will still the
troublesome mites, even after they have
got to digging. If you are in chigger
grass for any length of time do not wait
for the torments to get in their work,
but dampen a cloth with the coal oil
and rub yourself off just as soon as you
get home. In an hour you can take n
bath in salt water and feel reasonably
safe from the Washington Star.

SLEIGH BELLS.
~ Commonly Used ms Eyer-somc
ChnnEcr In Customs.


The sleigh bells used in this country
are made here, mCst of them in Con-
necticut, and many sleigh bells of
American manufacture are exported 10
Germany and to Russia. Sleigh bells
are as commonly used as ever whenever
there is snow enough to make good
sleighing; they may not be heard so
much as formerly here in the city, where
the snow is cleared away from many
streets and wheels cut up what is left,
but up the state and elsewhere the
sleigh bells jingle in winter just as
merrily as ever.
There have been some changes in
sleigh-bel customs. Shaft bells and
bells fixed on the saddle of the harness
have to some extent taken the place of
bells on straps, but the strings OF bells
are still the more commonly used.
Probably third of the bell outfits sold
nowadays are of the kind that fasten
TO shafts or the saddle of the harness
and two-thirds are strings of bells. The
bells exported are in about the same
proportions. The bells attached to
shafts and harness are open-mouthed
and provided with tongues. Some shaft
bells are made with all three in a set
alike, oftener they are made in three
sizes, forming chime. The three bells
carried over the saddle of the harness
are set in an ornamental frame, which
is supported by the saddle.
The sleigh bells of the old, famil-
lar kind, round, with balls inside, are
attached to straps, as they have al
ways been, to body straps encircling
the horses body, and to neck straps.
Sleigh bells are made of bell metal,
and they were never made with such
care with q view TO their sound-pro-
ducing qualities, nor were they ever so
musical as now, The commoner kinds
of sleigh bells are produced at a very
small cost and whole strings of bells
are sold at prices that seem marvellous
" low. Shaft bells of the commoner
kinds are cheaper yet, and that ac-
counts in some measure for the in
creased sales of shaft bells.
The question has often been asked,
and as often answered: How does the
bell get inside the sleigh bell? The
question Is here again answered. OF
course the ball itself is first cast. II is
then placed inside the ball of sand that
is to form the core of the mold in which
the sleigh bell is to be cast. The mold
is of the form and size of the outside
of the sleigh bell. The core almost fills
the interior of the mold, but not quite:
there is left all around, between IT and
the mold, little space. Into this space
the molten metal is poured, and when
it hardens it is a hollow globe of metal,
with the mold outside and the core in
side. When the sleigh bell Is taken
from the mold the sand of which the
core is composed, having been dried out
by the heat of the molten metal, can
easily be shaken out of the bell through
its narrow mouth; but the ball which
has been placed in the sand before the
bell was cast, is bigger than the mouth
of the bell that now surrounds 1t, and
so il has TO stay i'm Y. Sun.

TIME TAKEN TO THINK.
Surprising Results of Experiments
Mnle by Noted Scientist

How long does it take man to think?
Prof. Richet, at the recent meeting of
the British association, gave the results
of his Investigations into this subject.
He found that by mentally running up
the notes of the musical scale for one or
more octaves, and then dividing the
total time by the total number of notes
thought of, the time taken for each note
was one-eleventh of a second.
There are various ways of arriving at
conclusions as to the amount of time
necessary for realizing any physical
sensation or mental impression. II the
skin be touched repeatedly with light
blows from a small hammer, a person
may, according TO Prof. Richet, dis
tinguish the fact that the blows are
separate and not continuous pressure
when they follow one another as fire.
quently as 1000 a second.
The smallest intervals of sound can be
much better distinguished with one ear
than with both. Thus the separateness
Of the clicks of a revolving toothed
wheel was noted by one observer when
they did not exceed 60 to the second;
but using both ears he could not dis
tinguish them when they occurred
oftener than IS times second. The
sharp sound of the electric spark Of an
induction coil was distinguished with
one ear when the rate was as high as 500
to the second. Sight is much less keen
than hearing in distinguishing differ
ences. Ifa disc half white and half black
be revolved, it will appear gray when its
revolutions exceed PA per second.
It has been found that we can hear far
more rapidly than we can count, so that
if a clock-clicking movement runs
faster than ten TO the second we can
only count four clicks, while with 20 to
the second we can only count two of
them. Fatigue and want of nervous
yigor has marked effect in lengthen-
ing the shortest time that we can dis
tinguish between different impressions.
Alcohol acted, as might be expected.

A DEPI.AvED BOY.

Fourteen-year-old George Bowers
falsely accused his brother, Wylie Bow
ers, of the murder Of Henry Kiel
year ago. He stuck to his statement
until no longer able to bear the strain
of close cross-examination, when he
broke down and confessed that his con-
fession and his subsequent sworn testi-
mony were absolutely false and without
any foundation, whatever.
This young fellow would make a
study for the psychologist or the stu
dent of criminology. His confession
charging his brother with deliberate
murder was backed by circumstantial
evidence given by this accomplished
young liar in great detail. Not once
did the knowledge that he was lying
away his brothers life cause him to
halt or stumble in his monstrous false
hood, which he had repeated four times
to the authorities
1t is an unusual case, the only recent
parallel to it is that of Barbara Aub in
New York, who confessed and then
stated that her confession was false,
following this by another statement
that her first confession was true. In
the case Of a nervous and hysterical
woman, whose actions and thoughts
are largely governed by emotion, such
erratic conduct is not inexplicable. In
the case of this boy, however, possessing
none of these peculiarities, the main
spring of his action is a mystery unless
it is the result of total depravity, or of
peculiar and remarkable circumstances,
which have, as yet, failed to come to
light in the testimony. The lad
would seem to be lacking alto
gether in moral sense and responsible
ity. To this youngster it was appar-
emily nothing to swear his. brothers
life away. The most charitable view
to take is that the boy is a combina-
ton of ignorance and viciousness, quail
flied by some unsoundness of mind.
Possessing these qualities, he should be
sequestered from society and given OPP
portunity to develop whatever of latent
good there may be in him.
