NURSERY NOTES.

Try giving castor oil in warm wealth
err with plenty of sugar. The baby's
lips will smack over it.
1t is much easier to dress baby on
the bed than on your lap. You will
have both hands free and greater lib
erty OF motion.
If the baby kicks muck in his bath
it will be well for the first month to
bathe him with his binder on. This
will prevent all danger or straining
There is nothing children love much
better than small furniture, made for
them. Little chairs they often have,
but low tables are more rare. They
should have them also.
Mothers make the memories that are
to be the Inheritance of their children
during all our lives. What tribute
to mother love it is, when the silver
haired man or woman says: 1--WE did
have such good times when we were
children?'
It is always a good sign for baby
to sleep a great deal, and delicate and
puny infants who sleep much become
strong and healthy children Even
babies who are large and thriving Mt
birth, unless they get a great deal OF
sleep, become weak and sickly.

two old linen towels, worn very thin.

the nose, and, trying it on, she went
to her room and took a nap OF two

When she awoke her skin looked
fresher and fairer than for long time,
and, encouraged, she persisted in the

It is said that Horne Toolte. who ex
celled in that duellIke controversy eS-
hibited by two disputants when pittcd
against each other with only the
breadth OF mahogany board between
them. was exceedingly quick and sharp
at retort. When he made his most
deadly thrusts, it was with smiling
countenance and without seeming eff
fort or emotion. Replying to man
who contended that only landowners
should be allowed to vote at elections,
he said, Pray tell me how many acres
does it take to make a wiseacre?"
When asked by George III. whether he
ever played cards, he replied, II can
not, your majesty. tell king from
knave" What can be more uniquely
comic than his saying to his brother:

5UPTD'S SUMNER SCHOOL?


rcopyriEht, 1902. by the s. s. Mcclure
Company.J
Tommy DarIing-it was Thomas
Hendrix Darling on the hotel register
was in love. Now, in n way, this
was nothing unusual, for Thomas was
so frequently. so varIously and SO OBJ
viously In love that no one at the Sea
View House took him Mt all seriously.
In other words, Thomas was whole
sale 1iirt who conducted his campaigns
so openly that had he sat in solitude
for an hour the edge summer con
tinGent upon the island would have
remarked upon the strangeness of the
proceeding; not that such an event
was probable when there were twenty
seven attractive and tractable young
women ut hnnd-that is, all were tract
able except one. Tommy frankly ad-
mitted that he had been rejected by
twenty-six out of TIE twenty-seven, but
when urged to go ahead and make his
volume of reflections complete he
turned strangely rettcent.
No one would have believed the
truth-that the twenty-se~enth was the
real object of his adoratton-nnd that,
despite his vast experience in this in
stance, he became oddly incapable of
uttering the words that would put his
fate to test. With twenty-six of the
"Sea Viewers as he dubbed them. he
was brave to the point OF audacity,
and not one of the girls felt her heart
touched by the turn OF so much as a
feathers weight; but with Janet Mars
den! All, that was different! She
might not take him seriously either.
Tommy really loved this quiet, self
contained girl, and his tongue STAN
mered and grew slow when he tried to
tell in aIl seriousness what he had
ofttImes spoken in jest. In spite of
his mercurial temperament Darling
was not n dfrt in the common accepta-
ton OF the word. Beneath his gayety
was hidden n strong manly nature
that seldom manifested itself. Perhaps
all uneonsciously he had shown this
better side to Janet. for he felt in
stinctively that fippnncy In her pres
ence was n Dissertation of the love he
nurtured far below the surface.
The weeks sped by. Pretty girls
cnme and pretty girls went. Moonlight
sails and rides gave way to hops md
amateur theatricals on dark nights
There were grabbing on the lake, clam
bukrs beyond the Point and picnics in
the woods ucrosS the inlet. and of all
these ToInmy was tie life. tho bright

would all end. Janet was going home

Tommy kicked over camp chair
that stood In his way and strobe down
the steps toward the beach. He found
Janet with her new magazines perched
in shady. sandy corner.

dously sorry you are going"
Tommy was digging holes with the

and her Dyes softened; but, after all,
his record was against him.

rho worId,s Lareeat Crab.

How would you like to have a crab
like this squeezing your toe when you
go bathing? The gigantic japanese
crab, measuring twelve feet is proba-
bly, the largest crustacean in the world.
The specimen is a type OF the spider
crab, which inhabits the waters Of the
group of islands forming the empire
of Japan. The body portion is the size
of a half bushel measure, while its
two great arms or "feelers' could cas-
lily encircle the figure of man. Its
eight arms or legs resemble huge
bamboo poles and are extremely elias
tic, and If strung into one line they
would reach to the top of four story
apartment building. One of the ex-
traordinary peculiarities of this crab
is the faculty of assuming a disguise
by attixtng pieces OF seaweed and
sponges to the body.

Many a housewife who thinks she
knows the best way to eradicate
grease spots, the most common of all
stains, finds that within n few weeks
after treatment the garment has an
uns!..htly ring where the SPOT was.
This was due to the fact that when the
stain was rubbed and the grease loco
ened, it, lacking an absorbent, spread
itself into the surrounding fabric. This
Is the right way to remove q grease
