When a Child Is Ill.

An older child will be able to describe
its bad feelings. If they are serious, it
will be well to get the advice of the doc
tor. A call at the very outset may save
days of sickness. Three things the moth
er can always do safely when a child is
ailing. First, restrict or stop all food.
There will be no danger of starvation.
People live for a month or more without
any food whatever, and many a child is
benefited by absolute fasting for day or
two.
The young child about to be sick usual
ly refuses to partake of food, and in
many instances that is the first indica-
ton to the mother that he is ailing.
When this sign becomes manifest, it is
advisable not to force the food, but to
trust to the child's inclinations, and usu-
ally we do not go astray. If he will take
his food in smaller quantities at the reg
ular intervals, well and good, but if he
absolutely refuses you can take comfort
in the fact that he may 60 from "a to AS
hours without food with no danger of the
slightest injury.
Second, the mother can make sure that
the bowels are open. a mild dose of cas-
tor oil will do no harm in any event and
often clears up the trouble as by magic.
Third, the mother can prevent exposure
to cold and wet and enforce quiet. An
uneasy and fretful child is often better
off il put quietly to bed.

Tea Table Superstitions.

OF course no one is superstitious in
these enlightened days. Our great-grand-
mothers, however, were made very differ
emily, and it is interesting to read of the
mysterious meanings they attached to al
most every little incident Of everyday
life that was at all out OF the ordinary
course Of things.
The tea table, for instance, afforded
ample scope for the play Of superstition
in the feminine mind. Ii, when the tea
was made. the lid was forgotten for a
few minutes, it was a sure sign that some
one would drop in to tea.
If one person accidentally received two
spoons with a cup OF tea, she would be
married within year.
If any one helped herself to cream or
milk before sugar, she would be crossed
in love.
A tea leaf floating In the cup Of an I'M
married lady was a sign that she had an
admirer. IL, on this occasion. the tea
was stirred quickly and the spoon being
then held upright in the middle of the
cup, the leaf was attracted to the spoon
and chung to it, the admirer would be
sure to call that day, and il the tea leaf
went to the side of the cup, he was not to
be expected so soon.
