HELPS for Youno Mothers.

Don't be afraid to use common sense
In the care of your baby.
Don't forget that regularity in meal
time Is just as necessary for your lit
tie one as for yourself.
Don't stun the baby until nature
rebels by an emesis.
Don't expect the baby to be perfect
ly we'll unless you fed It on natures
food-mother's milk.
Don't forget that it wants cool water
to drink occasionally.
Don't keep the baby in the house one
minute that 1t is possible to have It
out Of doors. A baby kept out in tho
air and sunshine will not be cross and
irritable.
At night be sure the room is we'll
ventilated. Its susceptibility to sick
ness is in inverse ratio to the amount
Of good. pure air you provide for its
lungs.
Don't put too many clothes on the
baby, and, above all, don't inflict int
with long clothes. Least of all should
this be done during its first few months
of life, when 1t is weaker than at any
other time.
Don't fasten its clothes like a wise,
and then think 1t is going to be COM
Portable. A child can't be happy un-
less 1t can move every muscle Of its
body freely.
Don't bundle up It's head to suffoca-
tion. Don't cover up its head except
in blast of wind.
Don't be cross and irritable about the
baby, and then be surprised that 1t re-
fleets your mood.
Don't let people outside the family
kiss the baby. Never SO trample on
your child's rights as to make it sub
NIT to an unwelcome caress from any
one.
A child has a natural dislike for
Showing off," and If you maze 1t ac-
quire a taste for such proceeding
you will have to spank it later for be-
ing forward and impudent.
Be calm and self-contained always
in the presence of your little one, from
its days of earnest babyhood.

"As Weak as a Cat"

OF all the animal adages founded on
the mistake Of fact "as weak as a
cat is the most absurd. Really, the
cat is a most muscular animal. The
lion, the tiger and other so-called "big
cats" as you already know. are of the
same family with our common house
pussy; we shall not speak Of them fur
ther. "As weak as cat" is applied to
the house pussy; but to say las weak
as kitten" is truer. One may then
mean the newborn kitten which comes
into the world blind. softer and more
helpless-looking than even the blind
puppy; but which, however. Is not 80
helplessly weak ~ the puppy. the kit

New Effects In China.

The latest importations of china
show almost exclusively the border ef-
fects. Flower decorations come in
conventional wreaths and set forms.
The new dinner sets are showing the
Dresden pattern. The French china in
gold or gold and green trimming, and
white plates with wide borders are
much sought. Old fashioned china
baskets with quaint handles are used
for olives, salted nuts and relishes.
Cheaper novelties are French plates
with scenes, jokes and reading which
will do for French luncheons or Bo-
hemian affairs. These cost but twenty
five cents. 1t is surprising how much
china is displayed this summer from
the far north. In one shop l noted
china from Russia, Finland, Scandin-
avia, Denmark and Lapland. The Vik-
ings furnish boat-shaped bowls with
eagle heads, coarse pottery in crude
colorings, peasant water jug shapes in
plain reds and greens, the gourd fur
nishing the motif for these odd ves-
sells. Sweden sends underglazed porce-
lain, with delicate tintings and grace

Speckie.

A funny thing happened not long
ago on a farm nearby. 1t might have
turned out tragically had not the own
er come by in time. There was an old
hen named Speckie, who was such a
patient setter that nearly all the eggs
put under her came out well; so the
farmer had, for some time past, put
valuable duck eggs In her nest, and
old Speckie grew accustomed to having
her brood of young hopefuls make for
the pond the first thing after they
were hatched. She used to stand on
the bank and watch her youngsters
sporting in the water with much the
same manner as human mother would
assume II her children did unusual and
brilliant feats.
But one day the farmer, without any
real thought as to past habit, put a
lot of valuable hen eggs under Speckie
and in due time out came a brood of
fiuff balls that did the mothers heart
good. At the proper time she marched
them down to the pond and stood In
amaze as the balls refused to take the
plunge. She cackled angrily, evidently
scolding them for their stupid and sui
len behavior. Seeing that her words
had no influence over this strange fam
lily, she started to drive them all in the
water willy-nilly. Just then the farm
er came along and saved the lives Of
those poor innocent chicks. He
laughed heartily at Speckie's forgetful-
but he decided to keep Speclsie on ducks
but he decided to keep Specie on ducks
in the future, since she was such a
creature of habit.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

The Logic of Economy.

'I've studied logic" said an unusu-
ally bright and we'll educated young
woman the other day; but what good
does 1t do me? | do Just such foolish
things as the women who never have
heard the names of Kant or Locke, or
Hny single philosopher that ever lived.
Logic! | tell you, women weren't
meant to be logical; we were meant,
as everybody knows, to use intentions
instead of syllogisms. feelings for ma
jor and minor premises, and to let
conclusions take care of themselves.
Some misguided soul told me that
was paying too much for my shoes;
that for $1.98 at a place she knew,
could get shoes such as she had tried,
which were good enough for anybody,
and would wear just as we'll as the 81
ones had been buying. Two dollars
and two cents Is worth saving, even IL
coarse shoes are sure to hurt ones
feet, therefore bought pair of those
shoes. They hurt abominably, but |
couldn't think of giving them up.
thought, maybe, IL | wore stockings
thinner than the three pair for 81 kind
1t would be a relief, so l bought at a
bargain two pairs of silk stockings
marked down to S1.49. had to get two
more pairs at the regular price before
| finally threw the half worn shoes
away, and sat down to consider that
had spent nearly 50 to save my s2.02.
Besides, there was another dollar that
went to a chiropodist.
Again, took notion to economize
in small things, like pins, hairpins and
car fare. would lack the comfort
of a 8 cent bunch of invisible hairpins
to keep my hair tidy and would wear
myself out in long walks when l was
tired; then ali at once l saw such q
lovely white sash, marked down-bar-
gains are the invention Of one more
evil than Satan-and just felt as II I
must have it to wear with white
dress l had, so l persuaded myself
against my judgment that 1t was rea-
sonable for me to give myself a pres
ent. And bought the sash and re-
pented at leisure.
81 thought 1t the most amusing thing
L CNCt Wuth oOIut one tOlu
new story Of woman famous for her
absurd sayings. Her home is in q
country town. and she was in New
York on a visit. Now she said to
the friend she waE staying with. you
complain of the expense of living in
New York. or course, your rents are
higher, but outside of that things are
cheaper. Why, was in a department
store today, and saw that sarsaparilla
compound they sell at home for 81 n
bottle at SO cents, and porous plasters
that cost us rs cents, were marked at
49,
Now, how many women reason with
any more real logic about expenses?
Don't you know the apparently sensi-
BILE woman who takes a car further up
town because she can get one pineap-
pie that she wants 10 cents cheaper
there?
Don't you know the well to 10 wom-
an who is teased by her husband be-
cause she came home and told how
she wouldn't let that grocer cheat her
as he tried to do by trying to sell her
a pound of butter at 20 cents, when she
could go, as she did. on the car to q
place where they sold it for "A cents"

EAST LYNNE

The Walter Sanford Company of
players will present East Lynne" at
the Orpheum tonight. AS book and
play East Lynne" has had more read
ers and hearers than probably any
other novel that was ever dramatized.
AS book it has been more widely read
than any English novel, it's sales ex-
ceeding those of the novels of Dickens
and Thackeray. Its story has held the
interest of the masses for two or three
generations and is perennial. The old
story of the wife who listens to the
temptings of the villain, is alas a too
frequent picture. In Lady Isabens
case in East Lynne" the punishment
is so severe that the sympathy of the
auditor is aroused, and when as a
final stroke, she returns to her hus-
bands home in disguise, to find him
remarked and her child, Willie. dying,
her punishment is felt by all to be Sc
we're. This version introduces Lanty o.
Moore the gardener as a comedy char
acter and contains several laughable
scenes between him and Joyce the wait
ing maid, supplemented by funny by
play from Miss Corney, Archibalds sis
ter. Miss Laura Wall will be the heroine
Lady Isabel, William Desmond will be
the Archibald Carlyle, Ethelle Earle
the Barbara Hare, Tommy Shearer the

will play Joyce. This bill should fill
