HYGIENE FOR CHILDREN:
sunny bedrooms Give Health and De-
velOp Growth, and Sleep I'm
proves the Nerves.

A medical journal says that an i'm
rortant hygienic point which is too
often overlooked altogether in the Sc
lection of sleeping rooms for young
children is that of light-the light of
the sun shining directly into the room,
and not the reflected light of the wall
or reflector. The rays of the sun, with
their triple qualities calorifc, lumi-
nous and chemical-are indispensable
20 life and health, and to deprive chill
dTen of them is to prepare the ground
for phthisis. In the city of Paris, H.
COO people die every year from tubercu-
losis, as against $4,000 from all other
diseases. The cause given for this
frightful mortality is that a large pro-
portion of the lower-class population
live in gloomy, unsunned rooms, over
looking dark or cold courts or yards,
and lighted by transoms, or deriving
their obscure light from other rooms.
The light of the sun alone is not only
a powerful source of vitality, but it
actuates the cells of the brain, invigor-
ates the muscles, increases the pressure
OF blood in the arteries, and gives the
feeling of well being, and the lightness
of body and step that characterize per-

feet health. To show how much more
efficacious than the administration of
medicine good air and light may be,
1t is only necessary to take debilitated,
anemic child, who has been living in a
cooped-up, gloomy room, and place it
in good-sized apartment, into which
the sunlight pours freely. An immedi-
ate improvement in the child will be
observed.
The regulation of the sleeping hours
of children is not less important. Dr..
Maurice de Fleury, who has made a
study of this branch of hygiene, says
that a child of from five to eight years
of age ought to sleep from eight O'Clock
in the evening to seven in the morn
ing-that is, II hours. A child of from
eight to twelve years of age should
sleep from nine in the evening to seven
in the morning-or ten hours; a child
of from ~ to Is, from $3.50 in the even
ing to 6:30 in the morning-or nine
hours. Later, it is well to accustom
them to eight hours sleep, and, eventu-
ally, if the system does not demand
more, to seven hours. These rules are
for healthy children. Some children
are all the better for even a more lib
erai allowance, and those who are sick
". enervated and eXcitable should have
half an hour or an hours sleep after the
midday meal.

THE DEMPSEY PEAR.

pears is overpast, the Dempsey is a
welcome addition to the list. We ate
the fruits with good deal of gusto.
The Dempsey was produced from a
seed of the Bartlett fortified with
Duchesse d'Angouleme. The tree is de-
scribed as an upright, good grower;
foliage large, glossy dark green, re-
sembling both parents. Fruit large,
obtuse pyriform, irregular in outline,
as is seen in our life sketch. Skin
smooth, green, changing to yellow as it
ripens, with a slight brown tinge where
exposed to the sun. Stem about an inch
long, stout, and set slightly to one side.
Calyx shallow. Flesh white, fine
grained, tender, buttery, almost melt
ing, with a rich, sweet, delicious flavor.
AS desert or market pear 1t is of the
highest merit. Season, October and
November. Judging from the condition
of the samples before US, we should say
the fruit will prove a good shipper, and
that after all is not the least valuable at
tribute.-American Gardening.

this drain them and make enough cream

broth to cook rice, macaroni or any
paste or vegetable that is cooked in
it, while certain vegetab les gain great
deal by being cooked in broth, and all
pastes gain flavor.
Turnips cut in balls and served in a

nodded into little individual cups with
star or some decorative form on the
bottom of each and turned cut on a
platter, to be served on the Thanksgiv

served as potato puffs, as riced potatoes
and in a number of very decorative and
delicious forms. A fluting knife is q
useful article for cutting vegetables in
ornamental forms for service on the
table with meats or for the decoration
of salads.--N. Y. Tribune.

THE APPLE ORCHARD.
Hill Location Is by All Odds the Best
and Safest in Almost Every
Locality.

The soil for an apple orchard should
be selected with a great deal of care.
1t used to be the idea that any soil
was good enough for the apple orchard
and we find in many cases apple or
chards set out on soils entirely insult
ed for them. Some people have the
idea that the poorer the soil the better
it will be for the apple orchard. This
opinion evidently arose from the ex-
perience of people in setting out or
chards on very rich land and finding
naturally inferred that if the rich land
was not good the poor land must be
good. But rich land is not suitable, for
the reason that it occasions too great
growth of wood and rot enough of fruit
buds. AS we say: at all grows to
foiliage!"
Land should be rich enough to insure
good growth of wood, but not too
rich to permit fruit buds to develop in
large numbers. Generally a meadow
will be found unsuitable. for the reason
that the saltwater stands so near the
surface that the roots are soaked dur
ing large part of the year. The water
does not haze to lie near the surface to
do this, for. as is we'll known, the roots
of apple trees penetrate very deeply
into the ground. sometimes seven or
more feet. The hill location is gener-
ally best for the apple orchard, for the
reason that there is no underlying sheet
of water. The drainage is natural and
rapid, and She roots are always able to
do their work without interference A
medium clay soil is generally good, for
the reason that in it the fertility is held
