Why It Didn't Kill.

"Why that boy don't die is a ,mys-
terry to me-" was often said of farm
er boy, after he had tramped long and
wearily for the cows through the high
grass wet with dew, or in the early
morning plowed the young waist-hlgh
corn till he was dripping wet to the
shoulders with dew, and then dried
out later in the hot sun. Why the
boys and men didn't die then is all
explained by the discovery of the
medicinal properties of dew by q
priest in Europe by the name o.
Kneipp. Now it is common sigh
in eastern cities to see well-dresseC
and really well-to-do people walking
barefooted in the dewey grass of th'
parks. 1t is fad or faith, to use :
better word, that has hosts of follow
ers. This is on the same principle
that the farmer and his boys and girl
waxed fat and strong by wadinl
through high grass and early cor
dripping wet with heavenly dew.

IN THE NURSERY.

The three prime essentials in the nur-
sery are fresh air, good food and pure
water, says the Medical and Surgical
Journal.
An infants thirst is not quenched by
milk. 1t needs clean water to drink with
regularity
Always hold a baby in your arms when
feeding 1t IN about the same position as if
nursing it.
Rubber tubes, complicated nipples and
nursing bottles are dangerous and should
never be used
Regular habits, proper food and long
hours of sleep are necessary conditions TO
a healthy infant.
Have a rule for feeding the baby and
do not vary from it. Without regularity
the mother becomes a slave.
Light and loose clothing and frequent
bathing or cool sponging are necessities
for the infant in hot weather.
Plain. boiled water, given between feed
ings, will often aid the digestion and sat
isfy the child when restless.
Never put bottle nipple into your
mouth and then into the baby's mouth.
This will often prove dangerous.
Feeding at night after the third month
is both inconvenient and unnecessary.
Sleep at night is better than food.
An infant is a creature of habit ana
usally responds to the wish of the mother,
if the mother has order in her will.
More infants lives are taken by over
feeding than by starvation. Never iken
an infants digestion or diet to your own
Do not feed the baby because It cries.
This may be due to pain. and it is hurttu!
to fill an infants stomach at such a time.
Vomiting and diarrhea are indications
that the child is either sick or approaching
sickness and probably needs a physician.
Cholera infantum would be of rare Oc-
currence if proper attention was always
given to the quality and quantity of the
food.
A nursing mother who worries or who
is exhausted or who INDUCES in excite
ment may become a source of danger to
her infant.
Cleanliness as applied to the body, the
mouth. the food. the vessels, the clothing,
the furniture, the floor. the carpets, the
beds and the atmosphere should be strict
w observed

Against the probability or possibility
of miSchance or accident we can never
be too sure. But if we should stop to
consider how great is the chance Of
sudden death, we would be made too
timid and unhappy. Caution is needed
not to be foolhardy, and precaution TO
know what is best to do when an acct
dent happens. One day this winter
two men were walking and one said:
Were too timid in treading on slippery
places | tread firmly and never think
about them, and SO escape fall"
Never be too sure" said the other;
1T is that that throws you off and
makes the fall the harder" Just then
they came upon place covered with
thin snow, where kids had been sliding.
The first speaker slipped and came
down with his foot turned and badly
sprained his ankle. He was a cripple
on crutches until short time ago, hav-
ing used many things without benefit.
Up to that time he had not used St.
Jacobs Oil, which, when used, cured
him completely, SO that he walks as
usual. There is a probability that for
the rest Of the season he will walk eau
tiously, with the precaution OF having
this great remedy ready for use.

Lancuages of the Future.

A writer in a magazine has made the
prophecy that in 300 years from now the
world will only know three languages
English, Russian and Chinese. The Eng
lish language will be spoken all over
North and South America, in Australia,
India, Africa, New Zealand. and the ISL
ands of Australia and the Pacific. The
Russian tongue will have conquered all
Europe, except Great Britain, and all
Asia except India. Chinese will hold
sway over the rest of the world. If pres
ent Indications go for anything, it is just
possible that in 800 years China, as q
nation. Will have ceased to eXist.-New-
