Measuring Medicine.

IL s useful to know how to give medicine in drops, half drops and even smaller quantities, because sometimes one is nervous lest the hand should snake and an overdose be given. The plan is simplicity itself. Suppose that you wish to give a half drop. You place one dram of the medicine in marked sixteen ounce bottle. and fill up With water or other fluid to fifteen ounces. This will contain 12O tea spoonfuls, and each of these will hold haif drop of the drug. If one uses a measuring glass, it is quite easy to pour fifteen drops correctly, and in such case one may mix one-fourth of the quantities stated above.

When -Baby. Cries.

Most young mothers, says a special
 lst, need to learn that more babies cry
 because of thirst than because they are
 hungry.
 Milk does not serve to quench thirst ill the body. It is q solid virtually
 and many infants suffer keenly from thirst. especially in warm weather
 For the small infant, who should spend most of the time sleeping, the Specialist has classified the causes for crying in the order of their likelihood Collie is first of these, due to the dis. position of so many parents to over feed the baby Thirst is next in rank and after this in their order come hun ger. tight bands, pins, need of chang ing garments. change of position and perhaps the need of more "motherirg" When the baby is older there are teething and earache, both of which have marked symptoms
 When baby has a well developed case of collie it devolves upon almost everybody in the house to be up and doing. There are agonized intonations Tn the cries, and the child's legs draw up convulsively, as if its knees would point out the seat of the pain Not all the arts of the nurse will distract it. Bouncing it up and down and walking the floor with it are useless The face of the child may appear blanched and the sound of gaseous rumblings in the abdomen may be heard or the move ments may be even felt
 It is always safe and sensible thing to strip the baby to the skin when it is crying and will not stop. In the first place an infants clothing is all about as unnatural as it could be made. and it offers many opportunities at the best for torturing the little ones. Tight bands are especially likely to give pain to the baby. and one of the best ways for determining whether a band is too tight is to strip the babe

A THANKSGIVING SONG.

(Tune-"Come, Thou Fount.")
To the Giver of all blessings
Let our voices rise in praise,
For the joys and countless mercies
He hath sent to crown our days;
For the homes of peace and plenty,
And land so fair and wide,
For the labor at the MONDAY,
And the rest at eventide.
For the splendor of the forest,
For the beauty of the hills,
For the freshness of the meadows,
And a thousand sparkling riIis,
For the blossoms Of the springtime,
And the memories they bring,
For the ripened fruits of autumn,
Do we thank Thee, o our King.
For the we 'lth OF golden harvests,
For the sunlight and the rain,
For the grandeur of the ocean,
For the mountains and the plain,
For the. eyer-changing seasons,
And the comforts which they bring
For thy love so grand, eternal,
We would thank Thee, o our King
