MANAGING INFANTS.
Gables Need Reasonable Amount
of Letting Alnne.-

Although the baby is an exceedingly
tiny member of the establishment, ii
requires more steps and more care
than any other, and sometimes more
than all the rest put together. Espe-
cially is this the case if the child is
Rt all ailing or irrita be, or has been
spoiled during the first few months of
lis existence. The docing fondness Of
mothers for their babies, especially the
first ones. is responsible for a great
deal of hard work and unnecessary
trouble as they grow older. There is
nothing so beneficial 10 a baby of any
age as rea soma BILE amount of judicious
letting alone. This does not by any
means presuppose neglect or even the
lack of sufficient attention. but it does
include among other things that rest
and quiet and freedom from continual
nervous strain that wrecks so many
babies, and is one of uhe principal
causes of the remarkable number of
deaths that our statisticians are forced
10 chronicle.
Careful feeding. warmth and quiet
ere three imperative necessities for
healthy and happy children. Continual,
fussing over babies is the cause of a
great many bad tempers and great
deal of illness. There is very much
more in the infant incubator idea than
the general pubic is willing to admit.
1t seems a6fully cold hearted and
cruel thing to put the dear little crea-
lures into boxy place and shut them
up there, where one cannot get at
them to kiss and cuddle them, but all
the same this kissing and cuddiiug
business is just what does the most
harm. Of course, all of the mothers all
over the country cannot have incu-
bators and breeders for their babies,
but they can exercise little self-denial
and let the little ones alone when they
Iced rest and quiet. They can dress
them properly, feed them at regular
intervals and prevent their being dis
turbed by enthusiastic friends, who
cannot be satisfied without making a
toy and plaything Of what is unques
tionably the most interesting being in
TIE world.-Chicago Journal.

Black Dye for wooIens.

To color wooden goods black, use one
ounce of extract of logwoo ID and half
an ounce of blue vitriol for each pound
of cloth. Put the vitriol in water
enough to cover the cloth, and when
they are thoroughly mixed, put in the
cloth and let it scald 20 minutes. Then
take the cloth out and throw it into
clear water. Put the logwood into a
vessel with sufficient water for the
goods. press the water from the cloth
and put it into the logwood water ana
scald it 30 minutes. Then take out the
cloth and air well. Meanwhile put the
vitriol water into the vessel with the
logwood, and again put in the cloth
and scald it Is minutes longer. This
will prevent the goods when pressed
from rubbing off.-Housewife.

" A friend not long ago was telling me

"Dr. Williams Pink Pills have not only
stopped the fainting spells, bot given her so

To more highly endorse her words, Mrs.
Browning made affidavit before George W.

They act directly upon the blood. Bold

Lime for the animal and lime for the
land 60 hand in hand. When corn is
selected as the principal food for young
stock the bones cannot be produced
therefrom and the animal viii succumb,
as there is but very little lime IN grain.
This may be obviated by feeding clover
and bran, but after the pigs are taken
off the pasture they are fed mostly on
corn which is insufficient when used ex-
clusively. To make the young animals
grow rapidly they should have foods
rich in lime, which is best secured by
allowing a variety.

Room for the Children

1t is desirable that growing children
should have a room all to themselves,
where they can be free to move around
and disarrange things if they feel like
it. In England the nursery is made
much more of than it is over here, and
the childTen's quarters, as they are
called, frequently consist of a study,
playroom aud individual bedrooms at
tended by their own corps of servants
This is rather an extravagant idea for
the average American home, but it
often proves possible to devote one
room to the sole use of the young mem
bers of the household and their goods
and chattels. The mother is happy who
knows that her young men and wom-
en- are where they can indulge in mis-
chief to their hearts content without
danger of harm. The liberty which
this gives her to devote certain portions
of the day to other occupations proves
a valuable acquisition to her economies.

VEGETABLE MOULD.
Commonly Its Value ns "a Fertilizer
Is OVerestimnted.

Is OVeresfimnted.
The value of vegetable matter in the
soil is very commonly overestiInated.
If it is extra abundant in virgin soils
freshly cleared from forest it is sign
that the subsoil is wet and cold. Such
soils when first cleared are generally
less productive than they are after one
or two years of cultivation, which has
not only opened them to light and air,
but has also decomposed some of the
mold and converted it into carbonic
acid gas. There is. besides, difference
in the quality of mold dependent on
what vegetation il is made from. That
in swamps is mostly from leaves of
trees and mosses which have little ex-
cept carbon. Such soils are often made
very productive by applying to them
potash, so as to cause more active de-
composition. The slow decomposition
of carbonaceous matter in water gen
crates what is known as humc acid, and
which is very poisonous to the roots of
plants.
Vegetable matter, which is highly
heterogeneous. heats rapidly, and its car
bon is so quickly burned out that it
makes very little vegetable mold, and
that on further exposure to air quickly
disappears. Hence on the richest land
there is often less vegetable matter in
the soil than there is on land which is
black with it only because it is cold
and wet The application of nitro
genous manures hastens the decom-
position of vegetable matter in the soil,
while coarse, strawy manures turn to
mold that has comparatively little
fertility, but which makes the soil look
much richer than it really is. Farmers
have too long been deceived by the idea
that it is the black soil that is always
the most productive, and especially if it
is black to great depth. Most such
soils lack potash or phosphate, and
Otter lack both of these before they
can be made proftably productive

 Colonel Bryan seems intuitively to have completely and comprehensively diagnosed the case with apologies to President Cum ningham. He virtually said to the grave and honored senators before him. "you did not represent the people when you tabled a bill that aims to place SO0,OOO children under competent instead of incompetent, superintendence;" for no one will say that the parents of 900 of our chiudren in the state desire ignorance rather than expert intelligence at the head of their county schools. Everybody knows they prefer in- telligence. Everybody knows the senators who voted against the selection of compe- tent county superintendents voted in Colo mel Bryan's own words, according to their interests and for their own benefit"
 In both houses the plain, clear will of the people as to constitutional convention has thus far been disregarded. Whether Colo nel Bryan had this matter in mind when he discussed the duties of a representative, The Age-Herald is not able to say; but it is able to say that his remarks fit both houses up-to-date with remarkable apti- tude. The will of the people of Alabama as to the submission of a constitutional proposition is as plain as a pike-staff, and the duty of their representatives is equally manifest. If understand the great prin- ciples of the democratic party" said Colo nel Bryan in the house chamber, they are to carry out the will of the people," The senator or representative who refuses to vote for the submission of a constitu- tional proposition when he knows the peo- pie desire it, is neither democrat nor a representative. If he does not know the people desire it, then his powers of observa- tion are either imperfect or very limited.
 Colonel William Jennings Bryan, with six million votes behind him, practically said that competent men only should be made county superintendents, and he also prac- tically said that constitutional proposi- ton should be promptly submitted, because he said legislators should be representa- tives of the sovereign people-servants, not masters"
