The Care of the Babies.
What can bring mole joy and content
ment to the home than the advent of
the first child? How many, desolate
homes have been made cheerfufand how
many cstranged parents have been reu-
nited by it's birth. Why is it that the
great majority of mothe know little or
nothing about the care of baby. They
do not seem to realize that the baby has
to be given proper care. They would re-
sent such remark. Every mother con-
siders that she knows how to care for her
offspring, but sad to say many an infants
life has been lost by the lack of attention.
Let us read ,fhd remember this and find
how to make our progeny to be healthy
and strong, instead of the weak and puny
children that we see every day.
First comes the baby's bath. Imme-
diately after it's birth annoint the body
with sweet oil, as this renders the white
matter that is on all children's skin to
some degree, so that it can easily be re-
moved by warm water and CASTLE soap
Now if one has a small bath tub, or an
ordinary tub will do, place enough
warm water in it so that it will just
about cover the child's body, the child's
head being held above the water, held
in the palm of the hand. y piece of
canton flannel Or piece of linen should
be used to rub the child with using cas-
tile soap upon it.
After the child if washed it should be
removed from the tub and be wrapped in
a blanket previously warmed. Then by
a motion, as if you were patting the
child, dry it thoroughly. When dry
place talcum powder in all creases and
place in a thoroughly dry blanket These
baths should be given every day, pre-.
fcrably in the morning.
Next Sunday we will speak OF how to
dress the child.

A Washington dispatch dated the 18th
instant, says: The annual report Of the
past fiscal year of Myron FL. McCord,
Governor of Arizona, made public to-
day, is an elaborate plea for immi-
grants. Discussing the statehood ques-
tion the report says Arizona has as
much wealth as the average of the p
states admitted from 1871 TO 1876. The
requirements as 30 population, eduea-
tion and wealth, the Governor says, are
fully met. The prime necessity of the
territory, the Governor says, is water
storage, the need growing more urgent
yearly, and through which the territory
hopes to have its lands redeemed "to
their personal profit and to the great
prosperity Of the national body polite"
The Governor praises the grazing lands
as the stockbreeders paradise" capa-
BILE of maintaining eight million head
of cattle year. The annual wool clip
of the territory will aggregate about
100000 pounds. The Governor dsti-
mates the territory's population at
$1,000.

Says a Missouri exchange: The Hon
orable Lyman J. Gage intimates that
free coinage will bring 40 relief to the
upright debtor because he will refuse
to pay his debts IN deprecated dollars
According to Mr. Cages standard Of
uprightness, the honest creditor would
refuse TO receive ais debt IN money
Of appreciating value. It is surprising
that we have never heard Of q creditor
who voluntarily scaled down the debt
due him because of tine rise in the val
ue of money since 1873. Perhaps there
are 10 honest creditors, or it may be,
according to Mr. Cages idea Of moral
ity. that it is only incumbent on debt
ors to be honest. Mr. Gage is one Of
those honest bankers Of Chicago who
returned to the assessor the enormous
amount OF not quite 1lfty-siz thousand
dollars as the total money and credits
of all tie banks IN that great city for
the year 1894. As there are over one
hundred banking institutions il that
city, Mr. Cages bank may have had as
much as five hundred dollars of money
and credits on hand at the time of the
assessment. As the banking business
of Chicago during the year runs up
into billions, the State Auditors books
of Illinois shows just how honest Mr..
Gage and the men Of his like are.

The editor of the American Monthly
Reyiew of Reviews makes some peril
nent comments on the recent shooting
Of striking miners by deputy sheriffs
at Ilattimer, Penn. He shows that hs
local prejudice against those foreign
born laborers was intense, that many
Americans who had worked in the mines
before the foreigners came, had drifted
into other occupations in the pennsyl-
vania towns and villages Of the coal re-
gions, and that the mine owners had
brought in more laborers than were
needed, which helped TO keep wages
close to the starvation point, These
conditions go far to account for some
Of the deplorable doing8 at Lattimer.
