except powdered 6shbone and the grisly
portions of horses and cattle, from
which glue is made with a slight admix-
ture of cherry gum and milkweed. Her
chief difficulty hay in combining with
these articles sufIieient quantity of
nourishing food to sustain the fowls, and
vet of such a nature that It should not
destroy the effect of the adhesive sub
stances.
After many years of unremitting care
and study she has succeeded in getting
the ration proportioned right, and is now
able to feed her hens 50 that they lay
eggs he white of which is the strongest
adhesive substance known to man. II is
iperfeetly transparent. and easily pre-
served ins.any climate and is 50 strong
and lasting that she is able to sell at high
prices all her flock of hens is able to, pro-
duce. Broken china, of however delicate
texture, if mended by an invisible film
of this natural glue, is stronger by far
at the broken place than elsewhere, and
the glue is not in the least affected either
by heat, cold or moisture, and the articles
may be boiled an hour without being in
the least loosened at the cracks again.
The only difficulty about the matter is
that the adhesive nature of the albunlen
is not perfect until.t the hen IS three years
of age, and it takes fowl of strong con-
stitution to thrive under the unnatural
food SO that the glue is liable to remain
expensive until the production of it be-
comes more general.
Punctuality in feeding your baby is
of all things the most essential, and
habits of regularity in all of his func-
rions cannot be begun too soon. Once
let him get into bad habits Of any kind,
such as walking the floor with him,
flushing him to sleep or feeding him
at irregular intervals, and your peace
of life is destroyed. The inexperienced
mother and nurse are prone to fall into
these errors, and bitterly do they have
to pay the. consequences imposed by the
tiny tyrant. But the mother Of four
children has learned wisdom in baby
management, and she knows that punc-
tuality in feeding is not only as i'm
portant as discipline, but requisite as
rule of health. It must be begun the
first day or two after birth, and the two
hours interval rigidly observed during
| the daytime, says an exchange.
A healthy baby will sleep seven or
eight hours at night without awaken
ing and you should not arouse him for
feeding, but let him continue his baby
dreams, because he will not sleep too
much As his growing continues and
he begins TO take more nourishment for
his meals the intervals between the
feelings must be increased.
As good as clock in the house is a
vigorous infant who has been taught
iregalar habits from BIRTH He will take
a nap after each bottle or nursing and
wake up precisely at the end of two
hours. Il his bottle is not ready and
waiting land Of course it should be)
there will be protesting cries, and 50 it
goes on.
