A charming story is told of the child of
a well known French painter. The little
girl lost her sight in infancy, and her
blindness was supposed to be incurahlc.
y famous oculiSt in Paris, however. per-
formed an operation upon her eyes and
restored her sight. Her mother had long
been dead. and her father had been her
only friend and companion. When she
was told her blindness could he cured.
her one thought was that she could see
him, and when the cure was complete
and the handagcS were removed she ran
to him and. trembling, felt of his fea-
lures, shutting her eyes every now and
then as if to make sure that it was he.
The father has noble head and pres
encc, and his every look and motion
was watched by his daughter with the
keenest delight. For the first time his
constant tenderness and care seemed real
to her If he caresscd her or even look
ed upon her kindly. it brought tears to
her eyes. "To think" she cried. holding
his hand close in hers. that have had

In a book upon "baby's accidents we
find some useful notes on first aid in
cases of burns and scalds, bruises, dislo-
cations, cuts, etc. Burns and scalds, it
seems, are such common accidents among
children, especially among the poorer
classes, that about 5000 lives are lost ey-
cry year from these causes.
Should chid's clothes catch fire
smother with anything handy" says Mrs.
HeWer-''your own dress if nothing bet
ter offers. Never wait and call for help,
and never carry the child elsewhere till
every particle of flame has been extin-
gnished. Scalds and burns produce an
alarming amount of shock and prostra-
ton, especially if the surface involved be
large. While waiting for doctor cover
up the affected part with soft rags dipped
N sweet oil and give the child some
brandy"
We are further told that in the case of
slight scalds or scorches a mixture of
equal parts of collodon and castor oil
well mixed together and applied with a
soft paint brush will allay the pain Mt
once, a solution of bicarbonate of soda
made as strong as possible and applied
with soft rags will also quickly give re.

If the part be only scorched. fine flour
or whiting may be busted on and covered
with cotton wool. If, however. the skin
De really burned. an oily or greasy applica-
ton will be the best. An ointment of
yascline and eucalyptus oil or one of boz
racic acid and lard or oil and limewater
spread on strips of lint or linen should
be applied to the affected part. covered
by layer of cotton wool and kept in po-
sition by bandages.
As remedy for bruises Mrs. Hewer
advocates a little spirit lotion of eau de
cologne and plentiful supply of grease
to lessen the discoloration.
Her advice on concuSsion should be laid

necessary, give little castor oil. Quiet
and sleep are what the child needs, 1t is
impossible to predict with certainty how
such case may end, and doctor should
always be called in"
Children often wound themselves with
knives and scissors Mrs lIewer's ad-
vice in such cases is to apply a small
piece Of lintIo the wound and keep it on
until healing has set in. In the ease of
deep wounds where the bleeding will not

1t is stated that Mary Mapes Dodge,
the editor Of ST. Nicholas for SO many
years. was an ideal mother. She grew
child again for the sake of her children,
and many of the delightful stories she
wrote for young folks she ''made up"
first of all for her own little boys. Mrs.
Dodge, says Good Housekeeping, was left
n widow while very young, so she brought
her two children to the home of her fa-
ther, Professor Mapes. The boys grew up
in regular story book atmosphere. Their
grandmother was a stately dame, who
loved nothing more than to tell Of the
olden days when she danced ut a famous
ball with Lafayette and Washington.
The brilliant. scholarly grandfather gath
cred about him the most famous men
and women who came to New York--nov-
elists, artists. scientists and scholars
who were lionized and adored by the little
Dodge boys. In this atmosphere of cul.
ture their mother took up her literary
work, giving the forenoon to her writing
and the afternoon TO her children. She

Intelligence and common sense in re-
gard to the laws of health will change a
comparatively ordinary looking woman
into a creature who can claim her own
share of good looks. Such woman will
eat only healthy, nutritious food and en-
deavor to get a good supply of fresh air
each day. She will know that a bath
taken before retiring each night is essen
tial to preserve her health and beauty. \

Male clerks in government offices in
Washington are disappearing More than
onc-thrd of the I,G37 clerks hired 10y
Uncle Sam at his business headquarters
are women.
1t is estimated that 40 per cent of the
clcr,Ships which fall vacant in Washing
ton are filed by women if the ratio Of
increase continues for two generations,
the male employee will disappear except
in the higher places.
Women were first permitted to become
employees in government offices in lSf2.
when Secretary Of the Treasury Salmon
=. Chase appointed six women clerks.
At first they t'rcw only half the wages
pail 10 men 4 government figuring that
it took ewo women to do the work of one
man.
But in the dead letter office, after wofn-
en- were employed in that department. it
was found that one woman could in one
DAYS work open. examine and return 2J0
letters. when heretofore one man had
opened and returned only 125. Thus wo-
man established new standard of work,
and it hustled the men to keep up ana
they've been hustling better ever since.
In the carly days many bills were in
trodrccd in congress discriminating
against women employees, but they re-
ceived little support. Congress diq once
pass bill fixing the maximum saIdiy for
female clerks at 5000 per annum. This
was in force for several years, but m
1870 an amendment was passed winch
removed the discrimination.
