MAKING BABY HARDY.
Advice for Young Mothers as TO INC
Bathing, Clothing and Care
of Infants.

Watch the temperature Of baby S
room. Always have thermometer in
every room where you carry baby
Normal temperature, as we all KNOW
is 6S or 20 degrees, but experience has
proved that all babies cannot at once
be brought down to this degree, par
ticularly a winter baby. 1t is well to
begin with 70 degrees, or even "A de-
grees, and slowly drop to 70 degrees
and later to 6S degrees, says the New
York Herald.
A healthy baby is always fat baby.
Babies do not take after father or
mother or grandfather or grandmoth-
err in being thin. Children may, and
certainly do, follow in the footsteps
of their forefathers. But all healthy
babies are fat babies. Therefore they
all feel the heat. De not weaken them
by keeping them in L constant per-
spiration. This of itself will give
them a cold.
When bathing baby, from the very
day of his birth, soUse cold water on
his chest and head after his bath. This
will strengthen his chest, close the
pores and prevent colds.
These remarks presuppose the
healthy, properly fed baby. The baby
that is not well fed can never be tough
ened. He will not be a ball of fat,
that you can roll about with more or
less unconcern, but sickly, puny little
thing that must be watched at every
turn. But the well fed-that is to
say, the properly fed-baby will be fat
and healthy, other things being equal,
and can, therefore, be easily hardened.
Tougher, then, the exterior of baby
all you can. Tend him with the great
est care. Have him always exquisite
in his rosy loneliness, but see to it that
that loneliness is firm, hard flesh that
can endure all our sudden climatic
changes. But the interior-never,
never try to harden that. Guard his
stomach against any change. Do not
experiment with foods and sweet
meats, and this and that change OF diet.

THE ALIENS FAREWELL.

II ! should die, Love! here tonight.
An allen, under unknown skies,
It would not be the heathen's cries
That press the anguish on my sight,
Or any doubt In Him who gave
The faith that made the human soul;
But, somehow, ere the deeps unrol.
I want your hand to make me brave.
One parting more! Not all the past
Farewells and greetings were as sweet
AS the near music of your feet
That came to see me at the last.
One kiss! But would not awake,
But bear the seal to Paradise:
The imprint Of your lips and eyes
That l would treasure for your sake.
Your hand! That I, across the dark.
May know the path you chose Of cid,
When some affinity had held
Us hndled by kindred spark.
1t cannot be you will forget!
And so will not say farewell;
I loved you more than can tell,
And waited till the last star set.

PLUCKY GIRL IMMIGRANTS.
Hundreds Are Preparing 10 Leave
England to Seek New Homes
in South Africa.

The domestic servant problem il
keen in England. 1t is critical in
South Africa-so much so that the
high commissioner recently issued an
appeal for respectable and healthy
English girls willing to work and
make South Africa their home. In re-
spouse to this appeal so plucky young
women from various parts OF the Brit
ish Isles have sailed for South Africa,
says London Report.
These girls have been selected for
their physical fitness by the South AT
rican expansion committee, and it is
the present intention to send out 100
girls a month until the needs of the
housewives of the Transvaal, Rho
desia, Cape Colony and Natal are salts
fed.
There were many affecting leavetak-
ings at the committees "hostel' in
Upper Westbourne terrace, where
most of the girls lived until the time OF
their departure, but the girls were full
of hope for the future. An escort
matron will accompany them all the
way, and see their installed in the
committees "hostel at Johannes
burg.
In view of the expected increase of
women emigrants to South Africa, the
horticultural college at Swanley,
Kent, which is under the supervision
of the Kent county council, has opened
a branch for the training of women
for colonial life. The course will oc-
cupy about a year. The syllabus in
cludes seed sowing, fruit packing, jam
making, COW keeping, dairy work.

NEW PURSES HELP THIEVES.
Money Sachets Dangling from WOm-
ems Wrists Make 1t Easy for
the Crooks.

This latest fashion in womens
purses" said a detective in a big dry
goods store, according to the New
York Sun, lis great aid to the
thief. No longer is it necessary for
bin to grab a purse from a woman's
hand, to pick or cut it from her
pocket or to follow her around I'M
til she lays it down and then seize
it and run. These pocketbooks on
chains have eliminated to a large de-
gree the danger of the work of the
store thief.
almost every woman nowadays
carries a purse on chain. She either
wears the chain over her wrist or
holds it in her hands; at any rate,
the thing itself bangles at a distance
of from three to eight inches from
the hand. All of these pocketbooks
on chains open and shut in the sim
plest fashion, merely by twist OF
the two little knobs which cross each
other over the opening.
"The thieves who make women
shoppers their particular prey can
open one of these purses and take
out the contents while it is dangling
in a woman's hand, and can do 1t
with amazing ease. One doesn't re-
quire to be even expert to do it sue
cessfully. Just try it on your wife

how easy it is. You will find you can
do it when you and she are alone;
imagine how vastly easier it is for
an expert thief to do it in n crowd.
eve have instructed all of our
saleswomen, foorwalkers, cash boys
and girls and other employees to look
out for these purse thieves because
of the numerous complaints we have
received since the chain purse be-
came the fashion.
"One woman lost $50 from one of
these purses here the other day, and
what mystifed her was that her
pocketbook was closed as she had
closed it after the money was taken.
This particular thief demonstrated
as well as anything could the ease
with which such thefts can be per-
petrated. 1t was not necessary for
him to close the purse after taking
the money, and to do it he, of course,
added to the risk of detection. Nev.
ertheless, he closed it, and the only
explanation of his taking so much
trouble is that he knew he could do
it without being seen or felt"

is something of a mystery that has
puzzled many an investigator; and the
painstaking man or woman has yet to
be found who shall write the true and
authentic history of the delectable bev-
erage.
It was stated recently in newspa-
pers, French and English, that the
wine was brought to perfection by no
less a person than an old Benedictfne
monk, Dom Perignon, who conceived
the idea of blending all the different
grapes of the champagne district for
the purpose of discovering the highest
delicacy and body. This is true, as
far as it goes, but it does not make
Dom Perignon the inventor" of cham
payne. He wandered about the hills
of the champagne district in the early
part of the eighteenth century, and
brought his botanical and agricultural
knowledge to bear on the vines.
Monks of other branches of his order
were also botanists, agriculturists and
herbalists, as well as bookmen, and
there is nothing wonderful in their
discoveries of good ways for making
wines and liqueurs.

Bruno, who was Benedictine of the

of buying and selling puts" calls"
and "straddles." Sage, however is the
only man. who has ever played this
game successfully for any length of
time, and Keene's resultant collapse
in 1884 was complete. There were
