HEALTHY INFANTS.
Miss Wheeler Gives Valuable Ad-
vice to Young Mothers.

1.-THE average child comes into the
world healthy, and ordinarily it can BE-
kept so.'' said Miss Marianne Whee.er
the superintendent and head nurse in
the Babies Hospital of New York. Miss
Wheeler has been associated with DR.. l..
Emmett Holt, Americas Fashionable
baby doctor. in the management of this
hospital since its founding In the care
of babies. the homely everyday s de, she
is considered by this physician as the
best authority not only on this continent.
but In the world.
"The nursery should be the brightest,
sunniest room In the house. 1t should be
large enough to permit a window to b.
lowered from the top without exposing
the baby to a draught, for next to sun
light the baby needs fresh air. For a
healthy infant. the temperature should
never be allowed 20 go above 20 degrees
Children breathing overheated air grow
pale and puny. with flabby. weak mus
cles, and are susceptible to lung and
throat troubles. In the winter. or where
an infant Is too I'll to be taken from the
nursery, the room opening into it may
be thoroughly aired and then the divid-
ing door opened.
THE above method of obtaining suffi-
cient- oxygen should be tried several
times day. and is very satisfactory. In
stead of taking young babies for a daily
airing into mud, slush and damp winds,
1t may be wrapped warmly and placed
before an open window in the sunlight
IL possible, but taking the greatest care
not to place it in a direct draft or to let
the direct rays of the sun shine into its
eyes.
Even in warm weather it is best to
have n little fire in the nursery when
bathing baby. The water for this bath
must never be under 80 degrees nor over
100 degrees, and testing the tempera-
ture should never be left to the hand
alone. After proper precautions 10
make sure that every necessary article
is at hand, the nurse ought TO wear a
large flannel apron and soft towel
fastened at her waist.
Put the towel to one side and lay
the baby in the flannel apron. then un-
dress it. First wash the face and
head, drying carefully. Then, soaping
the washcioth well. bathe lunder cover
Of the apron the entire body; rolling
the baby, not lifting or handling it.
Use small basin of water for this part
of the bath. Now, placing the right
hand under the back. with the left
catch the little legs and place the child
in the tub of clean water. Then rub
and rinse well. turning the baby over
by placing the palm of the right hand
on the chest. the fingers supporting the
umbiicus, and rinse the back.
Taking it out, wrap in the towel and
flannel; pat gently all over. After the

fair weather, as in foul, she who walks
carries her umbrella mainly to excite GU

its handle. 1t is now sure to be as large

then the band, shirt, petticoats. etc. In
putting on the skirts dress up from the
feet. not down over the head. BY
grasping the feet and putting on the
clothes the child is disturbed very lit

After the dressing. the nurses atten-
tion should turn to the eyes and nose
and mouth. With Il bit of soft linen or
absorbent cotton. wash each eye with
little clean, warm water. being careful
not to use the same piece for both eyes.
Then, placing a piece of linen around the
little finger, dipping 1t in water, swab the
mouth, going all around the roof and
gums. Now clean the nose, and be sure
it is perfectly clean. A baby should not
be bathed until at least an hour after
taking its food. 1t is best to bathe be-
fore feeding-then comes its nap, and
then its airing. There should be only
one daily bath.
"An infant should be fed with absolute
regularity. waking it at first when the
time comes. From one month TO six
weeks it needs food every two hours
then every two and a half hours, and at
three months every three hours. As the
time Is heightened the quantity should
be increased. Before it has three hours
feeding, it will require two feelings at
night, usually at 10 and o'clock. After
three months 1t should have its last
feeding at 10 and sleep until or I a. M.
If bottle-fed the quantity of food for the
twenty-four hours should be made in the
morning. placed in bottles and corke1
with cotton, there being as many bottles
as feelings. Then pasteurize and put in
cool place for use. Do not heat the

"a child should sleep by itself; under
no circumstances with an older person or
another child. The mattress should be
firm but soft. For young infants a
heavy army blanket folded and laid on a
spring bed is quite enough, and is much
better than mattress, as it can be
thoroughly aired. disinfected, washed.

John p. Green. an Ohio politician OF

to a fairly good place in one Of the de-
partments at Washington At home
Green is a criminal lawyer and is
known by his success in influencing the
feelings Of the jury. He weeps natural
tears at the right time, rends his hair
and does other things which successful
lawyers do. His department position
pays 81, 500 year. Green told his Ohio
friends that he earned as much at home
from his practice They thought he
ought to have had something better.

A WATCH is A WONDER.
some Things About II That Are Not Geu
orally known.

some Things About IL That Are Not Gen.
orally KNOWN.
Open your watch and look at the lit
tie wheels. springs and screws, each an
Indispensable part Of the whole won
derful machine. Notice the busy little
balance wheel ms il flies to and fro I'M
ceasingly, day and night. year in and
year out. This wonderful little machine
is the result of hundreds Of years of
study and experiment.
The watch carried by the average
man is composed Of 9s pieces. and its
manufacture embraces more than 1900
distinct and separate operations Son
Of the smallest screws are SO minute
that the unaided eyes cannot distinguish
them from steel filings or specks of dirt
Under a powerful magnifyipg glass a
perfect screw is revealed The slit in
the head is g 100 of an inch wide Ii
takes sos, 900 of these screws TO weigh
q pound and a pound is worth $i.5s5.
The hairspring is a strip of the finest
steel, about Ga inches long, l-lOO inch
wide, 27-I0, 900 inch thick. 1t is coiled
up in spiral form and finely tempered.
The process of tempering these springs
was long held as a secret by the few for
tunate ones possessing it, and even now
is not generally known. Their manu-
facture requires great skill and care.
The strip is gagged to 20-l00 Of an inch,
but no measuring instrument has as yet
been devised capable Of fine enough
gauging to determine beforehand by the
size Of the strip what the strength Of
the finished spring will be. A 20-l 900
part Of an inch difference in the thick
ness of the strip makes a difference IN
the running Of a watch of about six
minutes per hour.
The value of these springs when fin
ished and placed in watches is enormou
in proportion TO the material from
which they are made. A comparison
will give a good idea. A ton Of steel
made up into hairsprings when In
watches is worth more than l2l times
the value of the same weight in pure
gold. Hairspring wire weighs LEO Of a
grain to the inch. One mile of wire
weighs less than half a pound
The balance gives five vibrations every
second, 800 every minute, is, 600 every
hour, 432, 900 every day and l57. $50,
900 every year. At each vibration ii
rotates about Ia times, which makes
1877, 100, 600 revolutions every year.
Take, for illustration. a locomotive with
8 foot driving wheels. Let its wheels
be run until they have given the same
number of revolutions that a watch
does in one year, and they will have
covered a distance equal TO 2s complete
circuits of the earth.
All this a watch does without Other
attention than winding once every q
hours. -Jewelers' Review.
