Hints on Care of Infants.

An infant should be given no food
containing starch until it cuts its teeth.
Starchy foods include biscuits, corn,
flour, tapioca, sage, rice, potato, etc
An infant cannot digest any of these
until its teeth are cut. Violent noises
and rough shakings or tossing are
hurtful to the baby, and should be
avoided as much as possible. Infants
should never be put into sitting
posture until they are at least three
months old, when they will probably
sit up of their own accord. They
should be carried fiat in the nurses
arms, as, if the little back is at all
curved, it may lead to curvature of
the spine or chest disease. Until chill
dren are six or seven years old they
should have IL hours sleep every
night IN addition to this, nap for
two hours, either In the morning or
afternoon-especially in hot weather.

Modern Feminine Clothing.

There is a good deal seriously to be
said about feminine clothing. AS regards
the general public, the most important
indictment is against the trailing skirt,
which rescues tubercle hecilli from the
sunlight and brings the II INTO the nursery
and living room. But as regards the
woman herself, German doctor has lust
published an exhaustive study of, among
other things, the weight of feminine
clothes, which weigh, on the average, 80
per cent more than mems, though a
woman is smaller and less muscular.
One new criticism of the corset may also
be quoted-that the modern straight
front article does its best to produce the
type of figure which every anthropologist
associates with the Hottentot The au-
thor sides with every one who has stud
led the subject in advocating the bifur-
Gated undergarment against the twin

A NEW JERSEY SOLOMON.
Justice OF the Peace Renders De.
cision Not Unlike That of the
Famous Bible Character

Magistrate Jermon once spent a sum-
mer in a little town in South Jersey and
made the acquaintance of justice of the
peace who held more offices than Pooh
Bah himself. He was" says Jermon,
according to the Philadelphia Press, "a
notary public, a storekeeper, superin-
tendent of the Sunday school, a lay
preacher, postmaster, coroner, farmer
and few more things that can't recall
now. He was a shrewd old fellow, as
decision in case that heard will go to
show. Two farmers had dispute about
the ownership o. some poultry, and each
pleaded his own case Each side had an
equal number of witnesses and there was
some tall swearing done all around. if
| had been sitting on the case l should
have given it up as a bad job, or sent it
to court for trial. But that's just what
he didn't do.
Il forgot to state that in addition TO all
his other functions he was his own con-
stable. The hens were in court in a
coop and he ordered that the constable
should take the coop to the roadway OPP
posite the farms of the litigants and turn
the creatures loose. And he did the job
himself and got his fee for doing it. The
hens settled the case themselves by go
ing directly to one of the farms, and the
justice declared that they knew their
way home, and gave judgment accord
ingly."

HINDoo CHILD WIVES.
Their Existence, from Cradle to
Grave, Is One OF UnspeakabIe
Horror and Degradation.

A Hindoo grandmother, with red
gahree drawn close around her, told her
LIES story recently to 100 Chicago
mothers who had gathered in little
room in Handel hall to hearit.
It was a story that might have been
told in Nero's court while Christians,
burning like candles in their jackets of
tar, were Illuminating the ygardens-it
might have been told then because the
flames would have made a perfect setting
for the story Of Sukhiva Vannerjee. This
Hindoo grandmother's hair was as black
as ebony and her eyes were the eyes Of
youth with the fire of hope burned out.
The mothers who heard her story were
white-haired, many of them.
Twenty-one years ago Sukhiva Van
nerjee was married. She is now q years
old The man who took as his bride g
girl of six was over go, was prosperous,
and belonged to midas high caste, as did
the child wife.
The woman told her story in broken
English Now and then she was prompt
ed by Miss Josephine Holmes, a Los
Angeles woman who brought her to
this country to arouse sympathy in
America in the movement to abolish the
child wife practice in India.
Here is the story that Sukhiva Vanner-
jee told:
She was six years old when her par
ents announced that husband had been
selected for her. She did not see her

A HANDY BOOK RACK.
1t Solves the Problem OF How to Dis
pose Of the Magazines Which
Come in the Household.

What to do with the magazines and
illustrated papers that find their way in
increasing numbers into nearly every
household these days is considerable of
a problem, particularly if space is at
premium and the ruler of the home does
not approve of having the tables Uttered
with reading matter. In order to meet
the demand for convenient, handy re-
cept cles newspaper and book racks of
all sorts and sizes are brought out every
season by enterprising and ingenious
manufacturers and many of the new
contrivances are very satisfactory and
oftentimes decidedly ingenious. One of
the latest productions IN this line is here
pictured. 1t serves the double purpose
of use and ornament, for an article OF
furniture such as this of polished mahog.

opals Now I'm High Favor.

In spite of the old-time superstition
there seems to be a grave doubt about
the ill-luck attaching to opals in the
minds of the girls of to-day, for opals
are very much worn. There is hardly
a more beautiful stone than the opal,
and jewelers. say that If they continue to
win their way in popular favor they will
become more costly. Hitherto they have
been cheaper than their beauty led one
to expect they would be, but that was be-
cause the superstitution about their ILL
luck bringing powers made people fear to
own them, and thus the demand for them
was comparatively small. An opal sur
rounded by smaller brilliants makes
charming setting for a ring. The dia-
monds reflect the rainbow tints of the
opal, and the combination of stones is
one which shows the beauties of both to
best advantage. Chicago News.

husband until the day preceding the day
set for the marriage. Then she was
taken to his house and he asked her
many questions. She suited him, so they
were married and went to live at the
home of her husbands mother. The
young wife became the slave of her
mother-in-law, as is the custom in In
dia, and did the mental work about the
house.
When she was IL years and II months
old q daughter was born to her. The
mother-in-law flew into rage when
the sex of the first child was announced
girls are disgrace in India.
Two years passed and a second daugh-
ter was born. This time the mother
in-law was inconsolable. She ordered
the husband to turn the wife out of the
house The husband obeyed. Husbands
have to obey their mothers in India.
Banished from home at the age of Il,
the child wife was led blindfolded into
the jungles to satisfy the hunger of
tigers. For two days and as many nights
she roamed through the forest. The in
cessant roar of wild animals drove her
out of her mind. While in this condi-
ton she was rescued from the forest by
agents of a concern which traffic in out
cast wives. BY these agents she was
taken back to Bengal, her native town.
After two nights in the resort to
which she was taken Sukhiva Vanner-
iee escaped and made her way to the
home of her own parents. Her mother
and father dared not take her in, SO they
handed her some bread through a win
dow. For this act of charity they had
their heads shaved the next day and were
ostracised.
Then it was that the girl was picked
up by the agents of the Christian refuge
in Bengali. She became worker in the
mission and in short time had rescued
so other wife outcasts. Until Miss
Holmes asked her to come to America
to study medicine the girl remained in
the mission.

Not until the results of the plan are seen
does one realize just how clever a choice
it is.
Of course the material used In the
shades must be of a character appropri-

paper or cardboard without glaze is a
good choice. So are denim and other
heavy fabrics.
