The Nervous Baby,

Nervous mothers make nervous ba-
bies. Suppose a child is fretty and
1erved up either by pain or after excite
ment of any kind. What does the av-
erage mother do?= Rock, toss, shake,
rattle, show light, anything to keep
the baby awake and excited. 1t is voted
''cruel indifference to ''let baby cry"
1t is true that sometimes the jumping
and jogging operations will enable
child to throw of the wind that causes
pain in the stOmach-the result of I'M
proper digestion or overlooking the
stomach. Aside from this it is hard to
think of any emergency which requires
that familiar jouncing, jogging treat
ment so much In vogue. After you have
made sure that there is no collie (colic
is best relieved by teaspoonful sips of
hot water), or that there is, no tigh,
garment or an irritated place where the
clothing chafes the little body, or no
wicked pin, it usually does no harm to
let the. baby cry. It is often a relief
to overweight feelings, in the same
way in which the mother, overweight
and wearied, feels better if she has her
cry out. A healthy baby kept in a rest
full atmosphere and properly disciplined,
will rarely cry. = :. f. e

kill them, held them prisoners until
they could be dispatched, says Fred 0.
Sibley, in Epitomist. The platform A
should be about 20 inches square, and
the drop B consist of hardwood plank
with two holes bored through exactly
middle-way, so that it will slide readi-
~ up and down the posts supporting the
crosspiece H. Through the center of
this is hole for the similar action OF
the circular post D, which is securely
embedded into B. A piece of light band
iron is G, which, when the trap is set,
rests on the support H and, being loose
ly fastened to D at I by an iron pin, thus
holds up the plank B. The rat enters
and begins nibbling at Indian meal
sprinkled in the groove of the platform
at J, and finally reaching the spindle,
hidden beneath it, agitates it enough to
displace the bottom E on the outside;
this, in turn, releases both the string
and band-iron G, the latter of which.
owing to the weight of the plank B, is
drawn upward into a groove, sawed
middle-way through D by its sliding
down the hole in the center of H and
as the motion of B is then exceeding
1y fast, the victim, ere it can scramble
over the sides round the platform, is
caught and killed. Provided the affair
is nicely adjusted and made so that it
operates easily, there is no patented
trap on the market, ito my knowledge,
half as good, for it has such an innocent
appearance that the Oldest and most
cunning rat will ultimately be caught
by it. To work we'll the spindle C
should have little play, and the more
lightly the button E rests against the
notch cut in it and yet will hold, the
better. Made on smaller scale, this
kind of trap is also most excellent with
which to catch mice.

lily distinguished by four dark, irregu-z
lar bands across the wings. 1t is found
in orchards from July until frost, during
which time the females are engaged in
piercing or singing the skin of the ap-
pie with sting-like oyipositor and
leaving in each wound an egg, buried in
the flesh of the apple. Each female can
lay from 300 to 400 eggs. After hatch
ing the maggots tunnel through the
flesh of the fruit and feed upon it until
they are full grown. These tunnels
often lie directly beneath the skin and
on the light-colored varieties, thus Civ
ing the insect the popular name Rail
road worm But although the mag
got comes close to the skin it never
breaks through and is thus always pro-
tected and cannot be affected by spray

or insects in the she'll form, that remain.
in the bottoms of boxes and barrels in
which apples have been stored should
be destroyed. Orchardists who pasture
their orchards with hogs and sheep re-
port light losses. while others in the
same locality, who do not do so, nor
destroy the windfalls in some other way,
report heavy losses.

Fine cords are run through the trim

Quaint, square, stiff bows Of velvet,
preferably black, are used down the
front of high corsage or on the chemi-

fashion.

THE BABY'S SUN BATH.
Modern Hygiene Calls for Plenty of
Sunshine and Air for tie
Infant Human.

Summing the baby is the latest thing
in baby culture, says an exchange. No
household is too poor to possess one
of these patent adjustable sun parlors.
They are made Of some kind of hard
wood and are built by the carpenter to
extend beyond the window. The top
and sides of the little platform are COW
cred with glass, and strips of carpet
are laid on the floor, to stop up any
cracks there may be. No matter how
fiercely the winds may blow or how low
the thermometer may sink the sun par
lor is always ready for the baby. A
pillow is placed on the carpeted floor,
then the baby is warmly dressed and
we'll covered for it's morning or after
noon nap. Mothers who have tried this
method of/sunning the baby are boast
ing of the gain in weight and health,
and have the proud satisfaction of
knowing they are strictly up to date.

The trouble with most girls is that if
young man is good looking and de-
voted and full of compliments, they shut
their eyes to everything else. They
want to get married, and as soon as pos
sible.- They marry without any adequate
idea of the sort of real character which
is hidden under that fascinating mus
tache and that deferential manner. and,
then, the mask drops off, and there is
misery. OF course, many an honest man
finds the same sham and mockery in his
wife. Young people put the best foot
foremost during courtship, and the hid
den foot may prove to be very bad in
deed.
Your ideal husband must. first of all,
be man of honor. Find out to your
satisfaction that he is this He will pre-
tend that he is, but get. unprejudiced
opinions. If he is al honest man, and
you do your best to live up to everything
which you have protested, then. if you
truly love each other, your married life
will be happy.
There is slang expression which the
street boys use. 1t is not literary nor
refined, but it conveys it's idea impress

~ and magnanimously, they say: HE

would only treat each other white"
generously, nobly. unselfishly, we should
hear no more of the failure of mar
riage." 1t would still have it's trials, but
they would seem as nothing beside the
true, steadfast love-, and the honest de-
sire in husband and wife to do each his
or her rightful part. and a,little more.

Low-Wheeled Wagons.

Low wagon wheels are useful for hay
ing when a loader and horse fork are
used also for stacking grain. as the
wheels do not cut into the land. Also
to haul manure, gravel and dirt. In this
county low wheel wagons are exempt
from taxes. I have four-inch wooden
wheels 36 and AZ inches in diameter,
also set of narrow, high wheels
which are used for hauling hogs to mar
ket. High wheels run easier on stony
roads. II could have but one kind it
would be low ones. If all farmers used
wide tires the roads would wear longer.

the appalling mass of testimony from ap-
parently embittered witnesses against

seem to be almost reckless to attempt

when asked if she were going to speak
in favor OF matrimony, replied with a
