more information, / venture to say, than
any other man could have crowded into

tablished, there were but two colleges IN

years from the beginning of the common
schools, instead of a total Of 10000, there

REALM
Health and Beauty of Children

Mothers who desire to preserve the
compilations of their children should
pay especial attention to ventilation
and diet. The most important consid-
CREATIONS in the nursery are those of
sunshine and pure air. The room
should be large and simply furnished.
There should be plenty Of space for
playing. To avoid draughts arising
between the cracks in the floor, lay a
piece of plain felt between the carpet
and bare floor
The children should live in the open
air as much Of their time as is possible,
although it is not we'll 10 allow them TO
stand still in cold weather, tin they are
chilled, or play in hcit weather till they
are overheated or exhausted. Youth Is
SO buoyant and spontaneous that It is
apt to overtaX itself.
The nursery fare should be simple
and nutritious, consisting principally
of milk. Mothers should give a person
al care to this most essential subject.
Pastries should never be allowed In
the ordinary diet; alcohol and wines OF
any kind Should p'zo be studiously
avoided. Alcohol causes the skin to
lose much OF its clearness and fresh
ness and to become sallow. The young
girl who would keep her skin cleal

The New Shirtwaist

There is an endless variety of shirt
waist materials, but the heavy cotton
stuffs, such as pique, duck, cheviot and
madras, are at present the most desir-
able purchases. Many Of them are
forty-fve cents yard, and so pretty
that they warrant the price. These
waists are so simple Of manufacture
that no home woman could think of
buying the ready-made ones offered all
the way above $3.50 each. A shirtwaist
Of cotton goods is not an even days
work. The palmer it is, the smarter it
is. One clever woman makes a point of
having a waist cut to fit her, and then
patterns the others after it. For the
