Feeding the Little Ones.

For a child from to years old, the
following is proper diet: Milk, always
warm, one quart daily. Eggs, soft boiled
or poached, never fried, may be eaten
not oftener than thrice week. After
the child is IS months old, if most Of
the teeth are present, meat may be given
once daily; it is best finely scraped.
Rare roast beef, roast lamb, broiled NUT
ton chop or beefsteak, white meat Of
chicken or turkey, fresh fish, boiled or
broiled, with the bones carefully re-
After two years, roast potatoes, peas,
asparagus, spinach, string beans, boiled
onions, stewed celery, any of these that
are in season. If well-cooked and fresh.
Oatmeal, wheaton grits, hominy, barley,
rice. farina and arrowroot; all cooked at
least two hours and given with milk,
well sailed; better without any sugar.
This is good way to make the beef
or mutton broth. Pour a pint Of cold
water on pound of lean meat, stand on
ice three or four hours, slowly simmer
for an hour, season with salt, cool and
skim off fat. Stale and well-baked
bread or crackers may be given with
each meal. After child is 211 years old,
plain custard, ice cream, rice pudding,
baked apple, stewed prunes may be
given, and fruits If fresh and ripe
Such diet should give a child an ex-
cellent foundation for vigorous diges-
ton, fine complexion, and health for
the rest of his days. Avoid pork in all
forms, salt fish, goose, kidney. liver and
bacon, stufing of roasted meat, hot
bread or rolls, raw vegetables or beets,
carrots or green corn; canned or pre-
served fruits, pies, tarts and pastry. ba-
nanas any fruit out of season, especially
If not fresh, tea, coffee, cocoa, wine,
beer or cider. Farm Journal.

METHOD IN HOVSEKEEPING

Housekeepers who have some method
about doing their work will avoid much
worry and hurry. They will avoid those
days when it seems necessary to do al
most a whole weeks work. There is no
poorer housekeeper than the one who
has no method and does her work when
it happens, with no special day or hour
set apart for anything. Servants are in
variably better satisfied and go about
their work more willingly when they
know there are certain duties set apart
to be performed each day. OF course in
terruptions will occur, especially when
the wife and mother is also the house
keeper, but she will find that with meth
cd she can much sooner catch up with
her work and get back into the regular
way again.

A George and Martha Tea.

II the young people wish to celebrate
Washington's birthday, very nice way
is to give a George and Martha Tea
Party to their friends.
George and Martha, dressed in colon
ial costumes. should receive the guests.
A boys costume can be fashioned OF
black cambria at very little expense.
For Martha's costume almost any dress
will do if she pins kerchief across her
bosom, and arranges her hair as 1t was
worn in Marthas time. To promote
sociability it would be we'll to have
games in which all can join.
One of these might be a list of the
names of presidents, in anagram form,
written on slips of paper, a slip to be
handed to each guest. The names in
brackets, of course, should not be
written out.

After specified time the most sue

prize. A miniature colonial hat made Of

candy would be Appropriate to the occa-
sion. Tableaux illustrating leading
events in Washington's life would be in

ideas might be elaborated, but the in
genuity of boys and girls will suffice to
carry out the scheme in all it's details
when once they are interested.

THE HOME.
WOMAN's DEPARTMENT.

Heretofore our columns have been de-
voted to those subjects which are gen.
orally supposed to interest only the male
portion of the family, but this week we
add a new feature to our paper. depart
ment for the women, and another for the
children.
In the woman's department we shall
aim to discuss those matters which per-
tain to housekeeping in all it's branches,
also home making, in which art most
women are deeply interested. This de-
partment will also contain hints on the
most hygienic methods of feeding and
clothing children, in order to obtain the
highest development both mentally and
physically; in short any thing which
pertains to elevating the home life can
be discussed in these columns. Commu-
nications from any of our subscribers
which wcu.d add a mite to the general
information On these subjects would be
gladly received, and we hope all will
feel free to express their opinions.

Now, Johnnie, remember to put on
your arctics;. you will find them in the
hall closet.f 4Alled his mother down the
stairway, ak her little boy buttoned up
his ulster and started for school.
Just then Frisk came bounding down
the stairway and frolicked around John
ME, almost Saying: LET me go with
you, out id the snow" and played such
cunning tricks to amuse Johnnie, that
arctics were soon forgotten. and the two
play-fellows made zig-zag paths down
the walk to the gate, and all the way
along the road to the school house door,
which was just closing as Johnnie
rushed In, saying: Nov go home, Frisk,
go home"
When Johnnie took his seat he found
that he had pair of cold, wet, chilled
feet, which did not grow warm all the
forenoon, and when he trudged home
through the snow (then over a foot
deep, his feet heavy as lead, his head
aching, his eyes hot and watery, he 'felt
sick all over" as he told Charlie EN-
mons.
His mother was not at home-a sick
neighbor had sent for her-so it was not
until o'clock, when she returned, that
anyone in the house knew that Johnnie
was sick, on the lounge in the library,
his wet boots still on his chilled and
aching feet. When his mamma came
home and thus found her little boy, the
first thing she did was to pull off the wet
boots and stockings, saying very gently:
Johnnie. dear, if you had put on your
arctics and not disobeyed, you might not
oe sick"
Il know It," moaned Johnnie; I'm
sorry when it's too late"
Then his mother bathed his feet in
warm water, put on some thick, warm
wooden socks and pair Of her own
wooden boots, gave her sick boy some
medicine and bowl of hot lemonade,
which he drank slowly, while his head
was wrapped up in flannel. Johnnie re-
solved not to disobey his mamma again.
Next morning Uncle Dick, who was
known to other people as DR.. Richard
Hammond, came to see his sister, Mrs.
Brown, and when he had felt of John
MES pulse and heard his symptoms, he
said, as doctors generally do, when one
is sick with cold at this time of the
year:
"Oh, he has La Grippe" he will soon
get over it,
And Johnnie, remembering his re-
solve of the night before, said to him
self:
When I do, l will always remember
to obey mamma in everything. all the
new year through, until it is an old one.-

Crazy Notion.

I recently met one of the members Of
the letter carriers convention, held at
Toledo, O., and he was telling me about
the crazy notions of Mayor Jones, Of
that city. It seems that Jones is BUSH
ness man Of that city employing num-
Der of people, and has some queer no.
tions about human rights. Not long
since he built handsome residence and
had house-warming when it was ready
to occupy. Instead of inviting the
wealthy class to set the domestic ma
chine running, he invited all his en-
ployes, and they had a right royal
time, much to the disgust of the upper
his plebeian notions. Much more so at
the remarks he made to his guests that
the house, with all it's belongings, were
the products of their labor This is my
view Of the matter. I often impress
on those who help me produce the ap-
peal that all the machinery they work

mine. In the years past I have paid
wages to those who worked for me, or
speculated in their necessities, and that
the machinery is what have over and
above their wages-a kind of swindling
them out of their just rewards, for my
expenses of living have been many times
what any of them have been able to

working people will learn enough to
change such unjust conditions, but so
long as they uphold it I must live under
it. But do not claim any morality for
my action in Withholding what justly
belongs to them. The workers can
change it when they will.-The Appeal

Sulphur for Disease.

find in the London Lancet that no
less an authority than the president of
the Institute of Civil Engineers of Lon
don declares that the sulphurous vapor
produced by the combustion of coal in
that city kills the disease germs in the
atmosphere.
1t seems to me duty, at this time, to
again suggest as widely as possible
through my own paper and others that
sulphur is very cheap, and whether it
destroys or keeps out germs of disease
from the body, or only acts upon the
Imagination, it cannot do much harm to
try it.
In the Scott County (Mississippi) Reg
lister of June Is last, will be found an ac-
count of how the agents of the Howard
County Benevolent Association" at
Memphis, escaped yellow fever by wear
ing sulphur in their shoes.
Half a teasponful of powdered sulphur
in each shoe or stocking is considerd to
be sufficient.
AS our readers know, we did our best
last spring to put these facts (for the
protection of our soldiers), before our
army and navy officials at Washington
We do not know whether anything
was done about the matter by our medi-
cal officers there. but we have received
letters from army officers and men, that
with sulphur in the shoes they had no
fevers, and also found the sulphur a
complete protection against feas. On
this same Dec. % we receive in letter
from Capt. Julius A. Palmer, of Boston,
the following:
by the way, in view of your frequent
recommendations of common sulphur, it
came to my notice recently that on Cali
fornia ranches where walnuts are pre-
pared for the market the shells are
bleached by the use of birthstone fumes,
and that the men having charge of that
work are never touched by the grippe,
influenza or the epidemics which attack
their fellow labores on the same es-
tates. Geo. T. Angel.

The Family Table.

The attractiveness of the home is the
greatest moral and refining influence. A
well-set dinner table, with. perhaps. a
flower to make 1t pretty, will do much
to keep the husband and children happy
and at home. Many of the children of
the poor never know what It means 20
sit down to family table: they eat in
corners, bite here and a bite there,
when they happen to be hungry. There
are two lamps that should burn in every
home-the lamp of love and the lamp Of
science-and women must be the torch
bearers. The movement in household
economies is no petty effort to make the
home prettier and food more palatable,
but a movement to safeguard the integ-
rity of the home.-Felix Adler.
