Good Thing for Infants.

Summing the baby is the latest thing
In baby culture. No household is too
poor to possess one of these patent adj
Unstable sun parlors. They are made of
some kind OF hard wood and built by
the carpenter to extend beyond the win
dow. The top and sides of the little plat
form are covered with glass, and strips
of carpet are laid on the floor to stop up
any cracks there may be. No matter
how iiercely the wind may blow or how
low the thermometer may sink. the sun
parlor is always ready for the baby. A
pillow is placed on the carpeted floor,
then the baby is warmly dressed and
well covered for its morning or after
noon nap. Mothers who have tried this
method of summing 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.

Our Gold Industry.

The unusually large amount of gold
coined by the United States government
last year is not only measure of the
financial, banking and monetary re-
Quirements Of the country, it shows also
that the American gold industry is
rapidly growing. Part of the gold
coinage, says financial authority, was
exported; most of it kept at home, but
q still larger stock of the precious metal
in the form of bullion has been disposed
OF in the two fields. Circumstances and
normal business laws-the latter in
their largest sphere. the world--have
combined to render the gold producing
business, as one may say, more profit
able, considering the same modes OF
production, than ever, and the United
States possesses such stores of the
raw material" placer gold, gold-bear-
ing quartz and other forms of the metal
in a natural state. that it responds to
the demand for the metal as 1t would
for iron and as 1t certainly does now for
copper. The profits of the business are
large.

A warm salt bath is very refreshing to
anyone suffering from exhaustion OF
travel or long shopping expedition.
which is as trying to mind and body as
anything that can be undertaken by Z
woman. Away from the seashore, q
very simple substitute for sea water is a
cup of rock salt dissolved in warm water
and added to the bath. When the salt is
irritating to the skin, take warm bath
and sponge on with a mixture Of violet
or lavender water and alcohol, about
half and half, and rub brisk1y with q
warm friction towel. Such method
prevents the exhaustion and dangers Of
cold which follow a warm bath.

THE ISLAND OF TANcIER.
Strange Yet Beatifc Conditions Pre-
vailing Upon This Little
Body of Land,

In Chesapeake bay, 125 miles south
of Baltimore, with which city COM
munication by boat three times week
may be depenoed upon during the
summer season, is the strange Island
of Tangier, so completely isolated
from the usual lines of travel that it
hardly seems possible that it can be a
part of the state of Virginia. .
Imagine IL you can, writes Charles E.
Fairman, in Four-Track News, an is
land about five miles long and three
fourths of a mile in width, with, a
population of nearly 1900, where each
house Is connected with Chesapeake
bay by a tiny canal; an island where
the population has built homes along
one narrow street but nine feet in
width. without sidewalks, road-bed or
gutter; an island where the women
go about with bare feet and calico
gowns during the week, and where the
hour on Monday morning and remain
away until Saturday afternoon; an
island where intoxicating liquors are
not sold, where billiard-rooms and
pool-rooms are unknown; an island
where one physician and the minister
constitute the professional class; an
island where profanity is punished by
fine; an island without jail or lock
up, and where religion is the rule, and
to be outside of the church is to be
outside of the pale of the best society;
an island where public cemeteries are
unknown. and where the dead of each
home are buried in the front yard; II
you can imagine all this you may have
some faint idea of the peculiar sur
roundings of the inhabitants of Tan
gier

To Train Brides.

Among the more recent institutions
Of novel character set up in this coun-
try is school for brides" The pupils
are young ladies who desire to become
efficient in the fine art of making hus~
bands happy. Since the nearest way to
the masculine heart is said to be through
the digestive organs, it is not surprising
70 ind that cookery and marketing are
an important part of the curriculum Of
this novel kind Of college The ventila-
tilation, lighting and decorating of
houses, and the arrangement OF furni-
ture are among the other subjects. A
number of rules relating to the judicious
management Of husbands and servants
have to be studied, and the pupils all
undergo an examination in such Ques-
lions as What should you do il your
husband telegraphed that he was bring
ing home q couple of friends just when
you were without servant?" or How
should you act II your husband showed
