solieitude who is to blame for his self
isllness. She has made him d being in
tent upon his own comfort and utterly
regardless of the comfort Of others. He
is hero from his infancy, while his lit
tie sister learns to run his errands and
his mother humors him aud takes his
part In every argument. Why, because
he Is a boy, should ali this homage be
tendered2 1t only serves to make him
more disagreeable, more fault-fnding,
more selfish with the wife. who, after
all, Is the one who suffers.
Earache is one of the common ailments
of babies, and they suffer very much at
times. If your child should awake sud
denly during the, night, crying with pain,
and put its hand to his ear, 20 TO sleep
and wake again after little while and
the paroxysm is repeated. you may be
sure il is suffering from earache..
To relieve it the best treatment is to
apply .heat Of amy kind to the ear, such
as hot water bags, or small bags filled
with hot bran or salt. In fact. any,
thing thar holds heat will stop the pain.
Hot water syringes are also very good.
But when these things are not immedia-
tely procurable. the hand held over the
ear will help somewhat; or, better STILL
a heated flannel.
If none of these simple remedies help
a doctor should be sent for without de-
lay.
A mistake too often made by house
keepers is the buying of expensive cuts
of meat to serve cold. as many of these
portions, like the tenderloin, are least
juicy
The flank. plate and brisket are excel
lent pieces for serving cold Wash the
meat in cold water and put into rapidly
boiling water. Skim carefully; then,
after ten minutes. push back on the
range, where the liquor will simmer bur

until tender so that it will easily fall
apart. Pack in a long bread pan, well
creased, laying the fbres lengthwise, and
mixing some of the fat with the lean.
Pour some of the liquor over it's own
meat, cover and set away. Cut in thin
slices when quite cold. and serve with
mustard or horse radish.
To set the blood coursing through the
veins and prevent that sluggishness which
arises from inactivity, take position
as if a. st to box with friend, dumb
