last when the potato seems soft ana
mealy throughout replace it in the
oven; take out another and by the
time each potato has been given the
same treatment the first potato is
likely to be well done. They can be
removed then. A potato baked in
this way will not harden if not served

Baby's mouth must be cleansed
two or three times a day with a So

piece of gauze about the little finger

A baby's eyes should be bathed

We wonder in moments of solitude
what wrecks we should have been
had not fate made us descendants OF
royal personages.
All this is natural.
We read daily of the proud princes
who have disgraced themselves; OF
dukes who have wrecked the lives OF
our own beautiful American women;
of the lords and ladies who are very
wretched and dissolute.
We cannot believe that society to-
day is worse than royalty one hun
dred years ago, can we? Then is 1t
not wonderful that we are as good as
we are?
With royaf blood in our veins is it
not marvellous that we are moderate
ly honest and temperate?
With royal blood in our veins how
well we are doing when we compare
our conditions with those of royal
ty.
Indeed if what we hear of roy
atty is true, we with a coat of arms
may well be glad as we are in spite
of our royal geneology. We have
done well to recover and to live
down Lord What-you-may-call-him's
bad reputation.
