Wipe his face on the linen towel,
so that it may not become chapped.
Then take soap-lots of soap-and wa

his whole small person with good

neck and arms and legs.
When he looks like frosted cake,
he's ready for the tub. While he Is

him out on the table, fold the dry end

bottle, and his nap. If you've chosen
your bath hour wisely, so that he Is
neither too hungry nor too sleepy,
you'll find that your baby will enjoy

from beginning to end he has been
perfectly comfortable:
The only time he is likely to dis
play any indignation is when his
clothes go on-the protest of the free
man, the untrammeled savage, against
the hanpering conventions of civilized

Now just word as to the hour OF
the bath, and this lecture is ended.
Everybody knows that bath, proper
ly given, is most soothing and sleep
inducing All mothers count on this
factor should-to help them beguile
their offspring into long mornings
nap. AS most little babies are ready
for a feeding between nine and ten
o'clock in the morning, good half
hour before bottle time" is the right
: time for the plunge. 1t sometimes
happens, however, that some slight ir-
regularity in the feeding occurs, and
the bottle must be given an hour or
more before bottle time" To far too
many mothers this means trotting to
sleep, or rocking to sleep, or, worst
of all, walking to sleep, afterwards.
Don't! After the baby is clean and
dressed give him warm milk in his
bottle. He'll take it most gratefully
and be off into dreamland in no time,
while you go away to your marketing

deeds we'll done-Chicago Tribune.

KALAHARI POOLS.
Changes I'm Landacape Due to Animals
-Remarkable Bison Trails and
Beaver Meadows.

The Berlin correspondent OF the Lon
don Standard sends precis OF an in
teresting lecture delivered before the
Geological Society of Berlin on the wa
ter pools of the Kalahari desert. These
in most cases in great measure owe
their shape to the use made OF them
by the larger animals, once SO numer-
| Gus in that region. During the rains
| the game scattered over the whole coun-
try. But in the dry season, when the
| only water available was found in these
pools, the elephants, rhinoceros and
| other large game, by constantly wallow-
ing in them and using them as baths,
made the sides steep and circular, and
| thus gave a uniform character to the
pools. They also carried off quantity
| of the mud on their bodies, and so helped
to keep the pans" deep and prevent
| them sitting up. Access to the pools
| was generally between two large rocks,
the path being worn into deep road
way by the animals which came to
drink. Speaking of the effect thus made
| on the landscape, the lecturer, DR.. Pas
sarge, notes that similar changes have
been caused by animals on the prairies.
He probably refers to the bison tracks
| and roads which still score the surface
of the North American prairies, though
almost every one of the creatures which
| made them has perished.
OF these Mr.. Paul Fountain says:
'The plains are deeply scored with
| tracks, even to this day, worn during
| countless generations by the Disons,
which seem almost to have followed the
| same routes in their migrations and
| wanderings. These tracks are likely
to endure, for the bison, with wonder
| full sagacity, chose the easiest and safest
| paths, avoiding barren bogs and crew
| ices, SO that travellers invariably follow
| them. So deeply are these tracks worn
| that, even If they were not kept fresh
by the frequent passage of horsemen
and wagons, many years would elapse
before they were ohliterated; indeed,
they may possibly be traceable forever"
| But the most marked and widely
| spread change in North American land
scape directly due to animal agency, re-
| naming permanent after the authors
| of it have been almost entirely de-
stroyed is to be seen in the beaver
| meadows" These are found scattered
| over the whole of the continent north
| of New York and east of the Rocky
mountains, and are referred to in ordi
| nary business terms, as when, for eX-
| ample, such land is put up for sale. The
beaver meadows were made in two ways.
Some were formed above the gradually
silted up DAMS" which the beavers
made wider every year, but could not
build up vertically beyond certain
| point The other beaver meadows were
| originally fiat forest by the side of the
streams on which the beavers lived.
| They cut down every tree on these flats
to build their dams or to feed on the
bark, and often cut canals across the
ground. They also cleared away all
small timber and bushes between the
stumps, that they might roll the logs
to the water. Deer came and regularly
fed on these clearings, keeping the
grass fine, and thus the beaver meadow
was formed.

THE SPANISH COIN.
A strange request has be

A strange request has been
made of the United States gov
ernment by Spanish authorities.
The Spanish government has
entered a protest against the
proposed sale of Spanish copper
coins now in circulation in the
Philippine islands, upon the
ground that the coins are the
property of Spain and that under
the peace treaty that government
IS entitled to them. The Spanish
authorities intimate, however, that
if this plan be not agreeable TO
the United States, Spain should
be given the first right Of pur-
chase at fair price. Director Of
the Mint Roberts, speaking to tho
Washington correspondent for
the Chicago Chronicle, says that
the position taken by Spain is
most unusual, inasmuch as the
coins are III general circulation in
the philippines at their money
value ard apparently no consid-
Grafton has been given to the
rights of the holders of the money.
The Spanish coins now circulating
in the Philippines are to be re-
tired January 1,'1904, under the
provisions of the Philippine coin
age act. The United States gov
ernment must retain the coppers
and dispose of them to the best
advantage. 1t is believed that
the anxiety of She Spanish au-
thorities grows out of the fear
that these coins will be purchased
by spectators at less than their
face value and sent to Spain for
circulation.
