DRESSING BABY.
Some suggestions as to the Proper
Articles by One Who
Knows.


Mothers who have never tried dress
Ing babies in short clothes from the
first cannot imagine how nice 1t is. |
will describe an outfit such as | have
used for four babies and which seems
to me as nearly perfect as any that can
be devised. There are three little shirts
of either soft flannel or knitted goods,
which open in front, and lap over to
allow for growth. These are fastened
with tiny safety pins. A large, fiat,
pearl button is at the waist line on
either side. and in front and back, to
button the pinning blanket to the shirt.
The pinning blanket is made of three
fourths of yard of flannel, with a
band across the top one foot in length.
There are buttonholes in this band TO
fit the buttons on the shirt. There
should be three of these pinning ban-
kets. The little bands may be made of
old sheets, as they are needed for only
two or three weeks. There should be
five or six of them. and they should
have little darts taken in the lower
edge.
The nightgowns are made of bleached
canton flannel, and are about as long
as a pinning blanket. There should be
seven of these. No other clothes are
needed except, of course, the diapers,
while the mother is in bed, or even
longer than that if the baby belongs
to mother who does not believe in tx
hibiting it to strangers while very
young.
When day clothes are needed, | use
the same little shirts, and button a
short piece of elastic on the lower end
to fasten the stockings in place. The
petticoat is made like sack apron,
high in the neck and with long sleeves,
and is opened far enough down the
back to admit of its being put on cas-
ily. They are only "a inches in length.
In fact, none of the clothes are longer
than that except the pinning blanket
and nightgown. The dresses are most
ly Mother Hubbard in style. The white
skirts | make with a sleeveless waist
fastened with buttons. Woolen stock
ings and bootees and plenty of soft
bibs complete the simple and conven-
lent outfit.-Mrs. w. A. Pugsley, in

WEDDING PRESENTS.
Some Queer Old Customs That Are
StiIl Observed In other
Lands.

Giving wedding presents is an old
custom, but the custom differs in differ
ent countries. Scotland's penny we'd
dings were peculiar. They were called
penny affairs, but the invited guests
contributed shillings, and occasionally
a half crown, and out of the sums thus
collected the expenses of the wedding
least were paid. Germany has pay
wedding" at which the bride receives
her guests with a basin before her, in
which each person entering deposits
jewel, silver spoon or piece OF
money. In some parts of Germany the
rule is that the expenses of the mar
riage feast shall be met by each guest
paying for what he eats and drinks-a
sort of European plan wedding, you
might call it.
The prices paid for dishes and drinks
are high, and the happy young couple
make handsome profit out of their
wedding, often realizing sum suffi-
cient to start them pretty nicely in
life. Often 800 guests are present at
such wedding Sometimes the flow of
presents is in the other direction. In
Poland, for instance, girl is not re-
garded eligible for marriage until she
has wrought with her own hands cloth
and garments for the friends who Will
accompany her future lord to the al
tar. But in most countries the wedding
present system is similar to that which
is familiar here, and which has become
a serious tax.
The following are some of the queer
customs connected with the wearing of
bridal wreaths:
The German bride wears the myrtle
for her bridal wreath, while the girl of
the Black Forest adorns herself with
the flowers of the hawthorn. In France
and England and in the United States
the orange flower is in vogue, while the
maidens of Italy and the French prov
inces of Switzerland use white roses.
Pinks, carnations and red roses are
worn by Spanish brides. In Lithunia
the bridal wreath is wound of the
Syrian rue; on the Ionian islands, the
grape vine; in Bohemia, Corinthia and
the Krain districts. of rosemary, and in
Hesse, of artificial flowers, to which
ribbons are added. In Norway, Sweden
and Servia bridal crowns are made of
silver; in Bavaria and Silesia, of gold
wire, glass beads and tinsel; among
the Fins, the Wends and the peasants
of Altenburg, of paper, and in Athens
of costly filigree. Bridal wreaths were
in vogue among the pagans, and were
introduced among Christian brides dur
ing the fourth tury.-Washington
Star.

many things that have delighted fair
women and brave men in the past,
things that have been on the tables of
The cities great in history and in story.
There are some things which have been
added through the incentive of the re-
wards offered by those eastern moi.-
archs who were frequently desirous of
new dishes, as that Roman one was for
a new pleasure. Many of these things
are owed TO travellers who brought
them from far places. Many have been
lifted from the huts and wigwams of
savages to the tables of the world.
Men have curiously watched animals
eat that they might learn the probable
effect OF foods on themselves. Much,
so far as Europe is concerned, is owed
to the Arabs; something to the Cru

foods. as that Of Alexander the Great

A Boys MANNERS.
These Are Small Points of Etiquette
That Must Never BE
Overlooked.

proper thing for boy to do, and some
times she would get her graadsons to-
gether, and. peering over the tops of
her glasses severely, would say to
them:
Boys, if you want to be known as
little gentlemen, remember that the
following things should be done;

private hall or office.
LET lady pass first always, unless
she asks you to precede her.
In the parlor stand until every lady
is seated, and stand until she takes a
seat.
Look people straight in the face
when speaking or being spoken to.
Let ladies pass through door first,
standing aside for them.
''In the dining-room take your seat

finish the course when they do.
"Rise when ladies leave the room and
stand till they are out. If all go out to-
gether gentlemen stand by the door till
ladies pass out.
Special rules for the mouth are that
all noise in eating or smacking OF the
lips should be avoided.
"Cover the mouth with hand or nap

PNEUMONIA.
GUS Disease and Their
symptoms.

Pneumonia, or Inflammation Of the
lungs, is one of the scourges of our cli-
mate, a disease more fatal to dwellers
in the north than yellow fever is to the
inhabitants of Rio de Janeiro or Ha-
vana. 1t claims its victims at all sea-
sons, but prevails especially in winter
and spring.
There are several forms Of inhamma-
tion of the lungs. One, called catarrhal
penumonia, attacks chiefly the very
young and the very old, although peo-
pie of middle age are by no means ex-
empt from it, II often occurs in the
course Of a severe bronchial cold, and
is simply an extension Of the catarrhal
inflammation from the bronchial tubes
into their examinations within the sub
stance of the lungs. 1t is this form
which is meant when II is said that one
Is threatened with pneumonia"
One is never threatened with the 9th
er form, called croupous pneumonia, or
simply pneumonia-it strikes like a
hammer, without warning.
1t is common belief that the robust
and healthy are especially liable TO be
attacked by this form of pneumonia.
But this is only apparently true; pneu-
monia is one of the very few diseases
from which one hitherto in perfect
health can die so quickly, and SO its
attacks arc the more noticeable; but
the fact is that it is much more liable 10
attack those who are below par phys
ically; and the previously healthy man
has a much better chance of recovery.
1t begins suddenly with hard chill,
followed by fever, rapid breathing. a
sharp pain in the chest, flushed face
and the expectoration OF thick mucous
usually tinged with blood. In favor
able cases the fever falls suddenly from
the third TO the ninth day-by 'crisis,"
as ii is called.
The symptoms of an attack Of pDeu-
monia are ordinarily so severe that
there is no question OF self-treatment,
but the physician is called in all haste
Formerly II was the practice TO bleed
repeatedly and to forbid the patient
any food. AT the present day the treat
ment is just the opposite, but unfortn-
nately it Is not much more successful.
This form of pneumonia, like typhoid
fever, scarlatina and the like, is what
is called a self-limited disease; that is
TO say. il is disease for which most
physicians believe there is no specific
remedy. Acting on that belief, they
do not attempt to cure the disease. but
try to keep the patient as comfortable
as possible and sustain his strength
until the disease has spent its force
