WHEN TO GIVE BABY A DRINK.
An eminent children's physician is re.
ported as saying that infants, general
ly, whether brought up at breast or
artificially, will, in warm, dry wealth
er, take water every hour with advant-
age, and their frequent fretfulness and
urise of temperature are often due to
heir not having it. In tcething,
spoonfuls Of water given every hour,
or oftener, cool and soothe the gums,
and this, with larger cooling evapora-
lions, often stops the fretting and rest
lessness so universal at this period.
In teethlDg and other disturbances
the feversh condition demands more
water to meet the extra evaporation
from the skin aud lungs and keep the
body cool. The young child may be
parched with thirst, but be unable to
tell or make known its wants. 1t is
well to always Lest this-that is, when
ever child is uneasy give it few
teaspoonfuls of water, and if this is at
all quieting, Immediately, or after a
few minutes, give more as often or as
long as it is accepted and appears USE
full. If the water is reasonably pure,
no harm can come if not enough cold
water is taken to produce a chill OF
the internal organs of the body.--Ex.

No Suffers TO BE ALLOWED
Suffers are to be prohibited in the
campaign of the army in Cuba and
while the troops are encamped in the
south. Secretary Alger has ordered
that arrangements be made to trans
port with the army few articles and
supplies not included in the rations
und in the manifests of the quarter
master and commissary departments.
The heads of both these departments
have been charged with the duty OF
purchasing a sufficient stock of what
they believe would be in demand by
the soldiers of both armies and to ar
range for sales so that no profit would
be made by the government. Smoking
tobacco, cigars and chewing tobacco,
toilet articles such as men may require
in the field, and such things to eat ms
would appeal to man on strict
army diet are to be bought and sold
by the government and a limited sup
1ly will be allowed each man wishing
to purchase. In this way the men
may he able to procure things that are
not included always in supplies for the
army at reasonable rate. 1t is not
proposed by the army authorities that
anyone shall profit in this war by ex-
torting exorbitant charges from SOL
diers for supplies that can be pur-
chased abundantly and at reasonable
rates.

VENTILATION OF THE HOUSE.

Healthful animal or vegetable life
cannot be sustained without fresh air
in plenty. In cold weather we are
apt to forget this, and keep our houses
too carefully protected from the air.
Living in rooms that have not proper
supply of pure air, lowers the vitality
and makes one feel the cold much
more. 1t is an error to think you can
keep a house warmer without fresh
air than with it. A thoroughly-aired
room heats more readily than does
the one where the air is vitiated. Air
the sleeping rooms the first thing in
the morning, no matter how cold the
day. Have at least one window
in one of the upper halls in which
Il ventilator can be placed; or, if
that be inconvenient, have strip OF
board about four or five inches long,
which place under the lower sash.
This will give fresh air without a
draught, and is a good way to ventl-
late sleeping rooms when one fears an
open window. If the windows of the
sleeping room be so arranged that the
wind blows upon the bed, place a
screen near the bed. Always keep
some rooms warm while the others are
airing, and give them thorough flood
ing with fresh air when the first
rooms are comfortable. The house
that is kept well ventilated and at
a regular temperature throughout the
winter will be much safer for occu-
pancy by both sick and we'll people
than the one where the housekeeper
has the mistaken idea that she wastes
the heat by opening her windows for
at least a part of an hour in the NOR
ing, leaving little corner where health
and sweetness can steal in unobserved.

WHY He WINKED AT HIS FAITH
ER.-Not long since a smart seven
year.old son of our preacher, after SER
vice was over, and the family had re-
turned home from church, said, "Papa,
do you ever look at me while you are
preaching ?"
The father, thinking that he was
little hurs by supposed neglect, said
"Certainly, my son l often look at
you and think of you when l am
preaching"
"But today you did not notice me
at ALL"
"Yes, l did, son, several times," said
the father.
"Well, papa, did you see me wink
at you two or three times?'
"No, my son; what did you wink
at me for when was prcaching"
81 winked at you, papa, to get you
to stop; you were spinning it toe

HE DIDN'T DROP.

His name was Moses Sparrow. He
was very green. That was the idea
that always came into Miss Pages
mind when she looked at her country
landlady's son. Such a rustic youth,
with such fair hair, such big blue eyes,
such sloping shoulders, such a lamb
like expression. And being there at
the farmhouse, whittier she had been
sent to spend the summer months, the
CITY belle resolved that she would try
her powers of fascination upon the
boy, who struck her as so good sub
icct for Irritation, in which ali the fun
was to be on her side and all the SEN
timent on his.
And at it she went, beginning with
a smile, a word, and rejoicing to see
the fish bite so readily. She enjoyed
herself very much until she grew tired
of it, and then she decided on break
ing the heart she had won and enjoy
ing the crash. So she turned him out
in the garden, and made him sit beside
her Oh the bench under the wistarias,
and said, sadly:
'I'm going home next week. l
shall send you wedding-cards when
I'm married. Pm to be married to a
rich old gentleman next winter"
Then she waited to see him drop at
her feet. He only said:
"Wall, I'm real glad. kinder felt
afraid I'd been goin' too far with you.
I'm a sort of butterfly, tlirtin' from
flower to flower, you know; and l
hev firted with you, l du allow. l
was afraid you'd go off in a decline or
suthiu-you seemed to set so much on
me-if you heerd sudden-like that me
and Ann Maria was keepin' steady
company. But, law, sence you're
goin' to be married, there amt no

Then he smiled at Miss Page, and
she arose and sailed away from him
with great dignity.-New York Jour-

POSITION OF PROllIBITIONISTS.

State Chairman Jones, of the Prohi.
bition party, has issued the following
statement: GAS there seems 10 be
some doubt in the minds OF the people
of the state as to the position of the
Prohibitionists, would say, as l TN
derstand it 1t is the old fight of 1892
over again, except that while at that
time it was a fight against the saloon
under the barroom system, now it is
against the dispensary, under its pies
ent management, with its beer priv
ileges and hotel privileges and the
original package stores and blind
tigers, which have sprung up with the
dispensary system. The question is
whether we shall continue to submit
to laws forced upon us against our
wishes, or to make and enforce laws
acceptable to the Prohibitionists. |
deem it advisable to make this state
ment now, so that if any of the per
sons suggested by the convention have
accepted under a misapprehenson,
they will have an opportunity to say
so before their letters are published.
All the names presented to the con-
vention were vouched for by strong
Prohibitionists as being in full sym
pathy with the movement, and if they
are not, the convention was Incorrect
ly advised. This is in no sense Il fac.
tional fight, except so far as it relates
to prohibition, and we will welcome
all who are willing to join us in max
ing a prohibition law for the state that
will abolish the sale of whisky as a
beverage in every FORM"

THE Cows CUD.-There is no such
thing as a cows cud in the sense in
which this term is often used as part
Of the animal that may be lost. The
cud is that Of the food which is brought
up from the first stomach and chewed
ovel rgain, after which it is again
swallowed and goes directly into the
third stomach, where it is macerated
in the maniplies and then passed to
the fourth stomach and finally digest
ed. When a COW is suffering from
indigestion she may be unable, by
reason of the disorder Of the stomach,
to bring up the food or cud, and this
makes her sick, and if it is continued,
she stops eating. The best thing to do
in such cases is to give pint of raw
linseed oil, and repeat it if necessary,
when the trouble is generally removed.
The cud is formed by the compression
of a portion of the food in a small
channel between the first and the
second stomachs and connected with
the gullet. 1t is about five inches in
length and two in width.

THE FACE BATH. There are many
girls who retire at night thoroughly
tired, and forgetting therefore, TO wash
their faces just before seeking their
pillows for the much needed slumber.
This is great mistake both on account
of health aud beauty. Not only does
any particle Of dust on the face have
time TO create havoc before morning
but if cosmetics have been used, it is a
disastrous neglect; the poisons or
chemicals eat into the skin, and de-
slroys its smoothness as well us white
ness, and have clear entrance through
the pores iuto the system. By using
plentiful supply Of warm water OH the
face before resting, much damage to
the skin is saved, and much good to-
wards its preservation is accomplished,

Humorous department.
DINED WITH HIM.

On the cars day or two since,
coming to B., was a stalwart man, go
ing to New York to buy goods. He
was not what might be called stlngy
or close man, but he was a man who,
when there was a cent due him that
swindling might deprive him Of, would
sacrifice $50 to save the copper.
He had started in the morning with
out any breakfast, and when f. hove
in sight he gathered himself up for a
general skirmish for any and all kinds
of provisions. He had carpet-bag
with him, and going into the dining
room at E., he deposited his carpet
bag or one chair, while he took anoth-
er at its side.
He was lost for about 10 minutes
perfectly oblivious to everything save
that he had blessed consciousness OF
something very rapidly and agreeably
replenishing his inward man.
About this time the landlord came
around, and calculated
"Dollar, sir!"
GA dollar ~ responded the eater,
"a dollar! l thought you only charg-
ed SO cents a meal for one? Isn't
that so ?"
"That's true" answered Meanness,
"but 1 count your carpet-bag one, since
it occupies seat"
Now the table was far from being
crowded, and the gentleman expostu,
lated; but the landlord insisted, and
the dollar was reluctantly brought
forth, paid over, and the receiver
passed on.
Our victim deliberately arose, and
opening his carpet-bag to the full ex-
tent of its wide mouth, addressed ii
as follows:
"Carpet-bag, it seems you are an in'
dividual, human individual-since
you eat-at least I've paid for your
eating, and now you must eat ~
Upon this he seized everything eat
able, that was carriable, within reach
nuts, raisins, apples, cakes and crust
pies-and, amid, the roars of the by
standers, the delight of his brother
passengers, aud the discontinue OF
the landlord, phlegmatically went out
and took his seat in the cars. He
said he had secured provisions enough
to last him to New York, after Il boun'
tiful supply had been served out in
the cars. There was at least five dol.
lars worth in the bag, upon which the
landlord realized nothing in the way
of.protit.

FOR INvALIDs.-W When the yelk of
an egg cannot be borne, the white may
be given with perfect impunity. Al
bumenized milk is prepared by shak-
ing in a wide mouthed bottle or jar
one pint of milk with the whites of
two eggs. These are so thoroughly
incorporated by this process that few
would suspect their presence, and the
mixture is much more nourishing than
the milk alone. A delicate eggnog is
made by beating the yelk of an egg
separately and adding to it three table
spoonsful of sugar with the juice OF
half a lemon squeezed on it; when
well mixed, the milk is poured in, the
white, beaten to u stiff froth with d
small teaspoonful of sugar, and a few
drops of lemon juice is heaped on the
top and beaten through the milk, ac.
cording to the fancy of the maker.
Orange juice may be substituted for
the lemon. Albumenized water is a
pleasant and at the same time a re-
freshing drink. 1t is prepared like the
milk by shaking together the whites
of two eggs and pint Of cold water,
and favored with lemon juice, a slice
of lemon being left floating in the
glass. Cold toast water can be used
to make it.
