FEEDING THE BABY.
(Harrer's Bazaar.)

An infant should not be more than
twenty minutes taking his bottle; when
he refuses food do not force it. Never
save what is left in The bottle for ar
other feeding, or give it little later;
throw it away and give it nothing until
its regular feeding hour comes round
again. Where digestion is weak a few
teaspoonfuls of hot water given just
before feeding stimulates the stomach
to action, Feed the. child at regular in
tervals.

WHAT CHINA TIC OKS LIKE.
Pen Pictures of Town and Country in
the Flowery Land.
From New York Times.

From New York Times.
In some parts of China tho type OF
country made familiar to US by the
famous "willow pattern" plates may be
recognized, says Mr.. j. w Robertson
Scott, in "The People of China" But
China is SO vast that the picture Of one
province is altogether different from
the picture of another. Landscape,
languahe, habits, and character may
be altogether of another kind.
A quarter of a million of square
miles of China are covered with fne,
friable yellow eaith known as "loess. I"
1t often reaches a great depth and is
exceedingly rich. Perhaps it is owing
to this that yellow is the Chinese
mourning color.
Generally speaking, the country has
a very old look, not, however. due to
ruins, for owing to the climate and the
nature OF the buildings there are not
many dllapidated structures.
In China proper you are generally in
sight of water and boats. The aspect
of The country has been greatly altered
by human labor, and has the effect of
huge garden. The fields arc titled
with the care usually bestowed on
flower gardens. Nothing that can
serve as fertilizer is wasted. In the
spring the chimneys and kitchen wal $
are pulled down so that the old SCOT
covered mud slabs may be powdered
down for the stimulation of the crops.
Rows of stones take the place Of
hedgerows. fences and walls. Where
the country is rocky, "tiny crops are
obtained from patches of soil no larger
than bathing-towels'"
Poultry is kept to great extent, aud
artificial incubation OF eggs (as we'll as
of fish spawn has been prScticed fer
centuries.
Most OF the roads are 20 neglected
and become SO deepened by traffic and
rain that there is q saying that in q
thousand years a road becomes river
The bridges and temples are beau
tlful. The houses, nearly all of which
are only one story, are built Of soft blue
bricks or mud slabs on foundation OF
stone.
Streets in cities are paved and are
very narrow. In them the barber, the
chiropodist and ear-cleaner, broken
dish rivster, book hawker, and Punch
and Judy proprietor ply their callinss.
The shops are without fronts, but put
up horizontal shutters at night,
The windows of private houses do
not look out on the street, but upon
the courtyard. The furniture Is always
extremely simple, aud generally DO oks,
drawings, and scrolls of writings are
the principal features. The Chinaman
feels Devil 1ered when he enters the
deliberately furnished apart Of
Americans.

THIEF CAUGHT BY TURTLES.
The Snappers Grabbed the Mans
Hand and Held Him "A Close
Prisoner.

The pickpocket who tried to pinch
likely looking mans pocketbook and
found his fingers in the grasp of two
swapping turtles was a japanese. A
native traveller in Japan had bought
the turtles, and being afraid that he
would be charged heavily for their
transportation as live animals on the
train, he placed them in small porta-
BILE trunk which he carried. When he
got on the train he held the trunk
so carefully under his arm that a thief
who was in the crowd was sure the
man had something valuable in the
box. So he got into the same car and
took an adjoining seat. Taking the
first opportunity, he cut small hole
in the trunk with a sharp knife and
slipped in his hand.
About this time the turtles con-
cluded that there was something do
ing" and they took hold of his fingers
in a hearty way. Gritting his teeth,
the thief tried to withdraw his hand,
but he couldn't. Then he howled and
the owner of the trunk seized him and
turned him over to the train people.
who at the next station gave him to
a policeman. The incident, however,
wasn't closed until the traveller was
punished for violation of the railway
regulations.

your correspondent is unable to learn of

been developed that has yet taken place
in the church choirs, where they are
much needed. However, if the elder peo-
pie cannot manage to maintain preaching
it is perhaps unfair to expect the younger
ones to take any great interest in the
singing.

school The scholars were dressed as in
the days of long ago, and each carried a
dinner pail we'll filled with pie, cheese,
and doughnuts of wonderful shape and
size. The opening scene was the trying
ordeal of the candidates before the ex-
amining committee, resulting in the Sc
lection of the only male candidate, and
his success in the Burberry Corner
school was won by a liberal application
OF the rod. Among the various types of
scholars represented were the mischieY-
GUS boy. the incorrigible girl, the Miss
who was sweet on the schoolmaster, and
the little boy taking his first term, care
fully guarded by his big sister. During
the noon hour, dinner pals were brought
out from under the seats, and such ex-
changing of doughnuts, swapping bites of
apples, etc, as brought very wildly to
thememory of the older people the merry
times of their own school days. An orig
inal poem by one of our citizens contained
many local hits and called forth generous
applause. The various classes went
through their work in manner that
kept the audience convulsed with laugh
ter and the farce from beginning to end
was carried out to perfection.
