How to Hold the Baby,

1t is said by those who have made a
study of the subject that children have
been deformed and crippled for life BY
being held in wrong positions when
they We're little and helpless. The
baby's head must never hang down.
nor must the weight of the body be
allowed to come upon the delicate mus
cles of the stomach and bowels. Its
back Is weak. and so Is its neck. The
head and back must be supported, and
the hips should rest firmly in the
nurses ha.d. 1t is good plan, how
ever. TO consult the baby's own taste
in this matter of position. If it is In
an agreeable position it is contented.

GOING HOME.

What time, my day long labor done,
| drop my weary pen.
And following the setting sun
Am come back home again.
| know no pleasure more complete
No melody more glad
Than that OF one loved voice so sweet,
''Ol boys, here comes your dad!'
She's always there, in rain or shine.
As constant as can be,
With her wee boys, her boys and mine,
Who wait and watch for me.
And how they shout and hail me In,
Those boys, and then she'll add
Her happy voice above the din:
Now, boys, don't worry Dad"
As II they could! God bless the boys.
I'd rather have them bring
The roof down with their joyfal noise
Than hear n Patti sing,
And there she sits as proud an
And every whit as glad,
Though every now and then she'll cry
Now, boys, don't worry Dad"
Ii 1t should be the fates' decree
And God forbid 1t may
That all these hearts should pass from
me
Ere | have passed away,
God grant that when | come to die
| be not deemed 80 bad.
But | may hear a loved voice cry:

Exercise for the Busy House wife.

If woman is too busy TO take a
daily walk outdoors, she should seek
to get as much fresh air and healthful
exercise In her home as possible.
Hold the body erect, the weight rest
ing upon the balls of the feet, the chest
active and thrown back, before an open
window or door While inhaling deep
draughts of fresh air This should be
done several times day
In sitting at the machine, table or
desk, incline the body from the waist.
DO not bunch the shoulders or bow the
back
If the eyes become tired, rest them
for few seconds either by closing
easily or changing the direction and
angle of vision by looking off from the
work.
A swaying of the body from the
waist backward and forward and to
the right and left will rest the muscles
OF the waist and back
For a few minutes lie fiat upon the
back, relax the entire body, become
passive in mind and calm In spirit, and
you Will rise renewed woman

THE MAID At THE MILL.

60 HE mill stood on the side Of the
little slope below which the wide
marshes stretched away as far
AZ the eye could see. Its great sails
were tossed aloft by the whirling
storm; the wind had risen since the
morning, and the machinery groaned
and shrleked as the Ills whirled round
fast and strong. Up went the great
sacks Of wheat through the several
doors, till they reached the grinding
platform, and the noise was almost
drowned by the bowling of the storm
as 1t swept past the old wooden struct-
ure.
Inside one could not hear ones self
speak, for the warm air was full of
the creaKing and grooming of the mill,
and the rattle of the chains as the
sacks went up one after the other, to

Men like the cheerful woman They
are not patient when it comes to tears,

NJ anaging IA Man.

Few women understand the extent
Of the influence they may obtain over
the minds and manners of their mascu-
line belongings, sspposing them to pos
sess the ordinary amount of tact and
patience to exert 1t properly.
Man is "A contrary animal. Once let
him discover you are influencing him.
and never again will you succeed in
doing SO; for he considers 1t due to his
dignity to resent anything that ap-
breaches to pettieoat government.
\ woman's influence is limitless for
good, and she who uses it, save for
good, wrongs herself and her woman
hood and influencing a man is not TAX
ing the reins of government out of the
right hands or bending a strong will TO
one that should be weaker Indeed she
who attempts or manages TO give more
than lead TO any man will be none
the better or happier for the expert
ence
But how to win the power that shall
enable a woman, as maid or matron,
TO give that lead?
Only tact and a certain sympathetic
insight into the minds and moods OF
others will teach the way.
The maiden who turns hobblede-
hoy, careless schoolboy brother into
polished gentleman, by little appeals to
his chiyalry, his dawning vanity, the
secret desire that turks in every heart
to be liked and admired. is the girl
who will do as she lsteth with her low
ers. and make her husband. when she
takes one, happy and successful man.
For in the big things of life, in any
thing that does not touch her affec
tions-in business matters, for instance
"a woman Is not only more cautious,
but more far-seeing than a man. Many
and many home. ruined by rash and
disastrous speeulations, might have
been saved had the wife but obtained

Little Hiuta,

When the finfier nails are polished
too often they become thin and tender.
\ few drops of alcohol in the wash
skin.
Never cut the cuticle or any part of
the flesh around the nails; simply press
1t back
Red noses come from many causes,
poor circulation and tight clothing be-
ing the most common.
When polishing the finger nails use
a little rose-tinted paste. The palm of
the hands Is the best pollsher.
Don't let the hands swing down at
your sides, unless you want the veins
to become filed and the hands turn
red
Do not use sponge for bathing pur-
poses. They are not sanitary, being
difficult to wash and cleanse thor
oughly.
When the feet are continually cold
the hands are liable to become red or
blue. Warm feet have much to do
with white hands.
Massaglng the scalp with the finger
tips dipped in little castor oil, olive
oil or vaseline for five or ten minutes
every day will strengthen the roots and
cause the hair to grow.
The occasional use of gloves and
cold cream Is good for the hands, but
II worn every night the hands will be-
come yellow. 1t Is best to perforate the
gloves and cut off the finger tips
For tired and swollen feet hot foot
bath at night is probably the best heal
er; let the foot remain in the water
for some time; after drying they may
be rubbed with little sweet oil, and
by morning the swelling and soreness
will be found greatly reduced.

Girl Nurses.

I'll girls should know a little about
nursing. so to be of use in times of
sickness. One of the most important
things TO see to is the bed Very few
people really know how to make a bed
properly; that Is. to put the sheets on
evenly and smoothly. The sheets
should be large enough to be securely
tucked under the edges of the mattress.
and the greatest care should be taken
to smooth out all the creases. Ms
nothing fidgets a patient so much as
crumpled sheets or sheets that keep
slipping from side TO side.
Then the pillows. The proper way
to arrange them is so that they are
neither too high nor too low, Just of
medium height. to rest the back of
of the patient when sitting up.

quired to be performed at the first
meeting in January Of each year,
the assessors holding their Offices for
only one year.
Assessors, both supervising and
district, are required to give bond in
the penal sum of five thousand dol
lars.
District assessors are required to
list all the property in their several
districts and to take a census on CEN

ber of fruit trees; number Of cattle,
sheep and swine; amount of mer-
chandise and Of manufactured goods
and the kind manufactured during
the preceding year; amount of and
value of precious metals and kind
mined and sold during the preceding
year The census returns will, of
course. also contain complete
enumeration OF the inhabitants of
the state, as to color, sex, age, nativ-
ity, citizenship, occupation, literacy
or illiteracy.
1t is provided by the law that
census of this nature shall be taken
every ten years. With the govern
ment census, we will, therefore,
have a complete census every five
years.
Provision Is made for the admin
lstration OF an iron-clad oath by the
assessors before assessing, and the
law contemplates that assessors shall
make personal visit to each tax
payer.
1t is believed the fact that the as
SCISSORS are to be appointed instead
of elected will be beneficial, as the
officers will be more independent in
the performance Of their duties.
The first trial of the law will be
made next year, and good results are
confidently expected.
The compensation of assessors is
fixed by the law as follows: IT
counties of the first class, supervJs-
ing assessors shall receive an annual
salary of $500, and district ass es-
sors, $500; in counties of second
class, $500 and $3.50; in counties Of
the third class, $500 and 5000; and
in counties of the fourth class, $20O
and $3.50.

No mutch interest was manifested
during the forenoon, but in the af-
tcrnoon the streets were crowded
with vehicles carrying voters to the
polls.
Neither Of the candidates for
mavor were in town. Mr. Hutch
ins came in on No. train late in
the afternoon, while Mr.. Williams
was in Salt Lake. Mr.. Gardner was
also in Salt Lake as was VIM.
Holmes. The other candidates did
only a little rustling for votes.
Most Of the people went to the polls
without solicitation. The ladies
as usual were out in force to cast
their ballots.
Some of the results were very
close. For instance Ed O'Conuor
only beat Dick Groo by two votes.
Mark Whitman won from Bob Birch
bv five, and Henry Douglas squeez-
III by two or three majority.
The election passed off quietly
and about $50 votes were polled.
THE NEWLY ELECTED.
Mayor-elect Williams is one of
heaviest taxpayers in the city, and
he will bring to his new office ripe
experience as to the needs of the
municipality. Mr.. Williams favors
any movement that will advance the
city's growth, and he himself will
help along by erecting at least three
new buildings this year on Ninth
Avenue, and possibly one or two on
Washington street.
Mr. O'Connor has serye ed as clerk
before and he made good one. He
has also served as councilman, and
is therefore thoroughly conversant
with the method of handling the
city business.
Mr.G rdner is a thoroughly COM
petent business man and will make
an ideal treasurer for the city.
Mr.. Whitman stated before he
was elected that, If successful, he
would turn practically all the work
over to Ed Boucher Mr. Boucher
