Give Each Child : separate Bed.

Each child should have a bed to him
self and should not be deprived Of the
fresh air by masses Of bed drapery, which
may be very beautiful, but certainly not
healthy. Sleeping rooms should be cool
and clean and not overcrowded with fur
niture. II children have wool sleeping
suits, it will not matter so much il the
bedclothes are kicked off. Nightclothes
should always be loose at the neck, waist
and arms. Bedclothes should be warm,
but light. Heavy counterpanes should
have no place on children's beds.

men who came there in three trains. The
want of provisions together with the
presence of numerous wounded soldiers
compelled us to retreat to lien Tsin.
Communication with Tien Tsin remained
entirely suspended for six days and ae-
cordingly we were deprived of the means
Of obtaining supplies.
we accordingly marched back though
constantly attacked by the enemy, along
the river, escorting at the same time, the
wounded soldiers carried in boats.''
After detailing the capture of the forts
and supplies, Admiral Seymour then
added that the ammunition and food
would have kept the relief column in
condition for several days but owing to
the presence of so many wounded it was
decided to return to Tien Tsin. On the
23d the reinforcements from that city
came to the Admiral;s assistance and on
the gath the entire force reached the head
quarters OF the allied armies.
