The eye or a newborn infant turns ut
once toward tile light, significant In
more ways th;in one of the future
needs of its beiflg. The eyes of baby
at birth are but imperfectly developed:
the eyebrows and eyelashes are short
and thin; the eyelids are almost trans
parent, and allow much light to pass
through them: the iris is very imper-
feet and lacks the pigment which
comes with the growth of the baby.
II is the lack OF this pigment that
makes the eyes of all newborn infants
OF the same coior-namely, dark blue.
The light which is the natural slim

an enemy TO the young. Infants should
learn to use their eyes little by little,
the same as they learn to use their
limbs. The resting place of the baby
should be turned away from the light
of the window and so directed that no
strong rays Of light will fall directly
on the eye. Especially should the eyes
be protected from artificial light.

HOW TO MAKE HOT BEDS.

n Dig out the earth from a pit of the
size proposed and eighteen inches deep.
Fill with horse manure for six inches:
this should be warm with ferment.
Over this for six inches spread manure
that is now hot with fermentation and
add layer of earth of an inch or
more. Then a layer OF heated horse
manure and on that six or eight inches
of good rich garden mold Fork this
over two or three times. Fit the cold
frame over it, the slope to be south.
Let it be day or more till the earth
becomes we'll warmed. Mark off the
rows and put in the tomatoes, lettuce,
peppers and egg plants. Cover at night,
if it is cold, with straw mating. Open
for three hours if the weather is pleas
ant, for ventilation, but be careful
not to let cold wind blow in. The
temperature in a hot bed should not
be lower than seventy-five degrees. If
the plants are yet lowish, they need
more air. The object in putting in the
manure SO carefully in layers is to
secure a regular and prolonged
warmth.-Ella Hess, in The Epitomist.

CARE FOR THE TREES.

( The storms of winter are likely to
make trouble with trees in orchards
and elsewhere, so it is a good plan to
have a supply of grating wax on hand
to dress the wounds to limbs which
may result Have also a narrow blade,
but sharp saw, so that the injured
tree limb may be cut off and leave a
smooth surface to be covered with the
healing wax. A good wax is made by
tmelting slowly in an iron kettle four
pounds of resin, two pounds Of first
class tallow and one pound of bees
wax. When melted and thoroughly
mixed turn the mass into kettle of
cold water. When cool the mass may
be pulled and stretched in the same
manner that candy is manipulated; Oil
the hands with sweet oil, SO that the
mass will not stick to them. In ap-
plying during the cold weather the
wax will be hard unless kept in rather
warm water and applied quickly with
the hand. The formula as given is
for grating wax, to be used under
ordinary conditions, but an additional
half pound of tallow should be used
for the wax to be used during winter
weather. The wounds Of the trees
thus protected will heal over nicely
and the tree not be injured so greatly
as it would if the wounds were left
