Care of Children.

One important factor often neglected
in the care of children is fresh air.
They should have "a good airing out
of doors at least once day,
when the weather is favorable.
Thus they get plenty of oxygen, so
vital to growth and development,
become hardened and accustomed to
the vicissitudes of changeable climate.
They should have plenty of sleep,
small amounts of the proper kind of
food at regular intervels, daily baths,
followed by mild friction with a soft
towel, preferably before their morning
airing.
A great doctor once remarked that
bad ventilation deforms more children
and destroys more health than acci-
dents or plague. Baby should never
be put to sleep in bed or or peramb mbu-
lator with the head under the bed
clothing to inhale the air already
breathed. By doing this you are
smOthering the life out of your child S
lungs. How would you like to drink
the water you wash in? Well, when
you cover your baby's head up you
force him to inhale into his lungs air
that is just as bad, and just as impure
Remember that the night nursery
needs ventilation as much as the day
one, and see that one of the windows is
left open at night. A screen to pro-
tect the bed from draught will remove
any danger of taking cold.-Cincinnati

Democrat, Placerville, March II. 1900.

The Indian who is accused of shoot
ing with intent to murder Martin Van
Wickln at Clarksville on the Sd inst,
was surrendered by his sister to Sheriff
Bosquit last Wednesday. While pa
trolling with his deputies the country
in which the fugitive was concealed,
Sheriff Bosquit found that sister was
in communication with him. Having
offered reward of Sl20 for the arrest
of her brother. while still preventing
his escape, the sister was tempted with
the reward on condition of delivering
him up. After considering the hope
lessness of escape, she finally persuaded
him 10 surrender himself to the Sheriff,
which he did last Wednesday. Thus
the reward received by the sister will
go to the brother for the purpose of
his defense, as he is said to deny the
shooting.

On Monday as the Mokelumne Hill
stage was on its way to the Hill and
when near the residence of Archie
Campbell man disguised with a
handkerchief over his face stepped
from the brush and leveled pistol at
young Cotton, the driver. The move
ment was so sudden that the horses
one of which was young colt-were
badly frightened, and, jumping sharp
ly to one side, came near upsetting the
stage. Fortunately Cotton was per-
fectly cool and recognizing the man,
desri.e his disguise, told him in Ian
guaSe more forciole than polite to take
the handkerchief from his face. This
the fellow did, and explained that it
was all joke. Such jokes are rather
dangerous at the best and might re-
suit disastrously some time TO the per-
petratOr. ~
Work on the plant of the Standard
Electric Company, above Mokelumne
Hill, is being pushed with all possible
energy. Last week several big mule
teams were put TO work hauling mate
rial to the ground, and word has been
extensively circulated that every man
who applied would be set to work. In
consequence of the latter report, the
roads leading to the plant have been
crowded the past week with men with
blankets on their back, all Fastening
to this Mecca of their hopes. San
Andreas has had its share and its
streets have had the appearance of the
track of retreating army.

The unusually warm weather of the
past few days has caused reptiles of
nearly all kinds to begin to move, not
withstanding that 1t is early for them,
and, while it is not altogether an un-
usual thing for lizards and aquatic or
garden snakes to be ABOUT in the early
spring, a rattlesnake is seldom seen till
the month of June. A man named
MoClay while coming over from jack
son on foot last Saturday. came upon a
small rattler on the trail just below the
Protestant cemetery. This little in
dividual was very active and when
teased with long stick showed the
usual aggressiveness of its species
Mr.. McClay killed it and brought the
four rattles along with portion of the
freshly cut tail into town.
