When Baby Cries.

Most young mothers, says a special
list, need to learn that more babies cry
because of thirst than because they are
hungry.
Milk does rat serve to quench thirst
in the body. 1t Is a 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.
Cole 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 ~"mothering.'
When the baby is older there are
teething and earache, both of which
have marked symptoms.
When a baby has a well developed
case of collie it devolves upon almost
everybody in the house to be up and
doing. There are agonized i%ntonations
In 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
mcnts may be even felt.
1t is always a 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 us unnatural as 1t could be
made. and 1t offers many opportunities
at the best for %torturing the little ones
Tight bands are especially likely to
give pain to the baby, and n of the
best ways for determining whether q
band is too tight is to strip the babe.

lone of the happiest memories of my
little girlhood," said a mature woman,
sis of that hour between the dusk and
the daylight, when the night was be-
ginning to lower, when we all sat
around my mother in the sitting room
waiting for lamplight time and telling
stories. Sometimes mother told them
to us; often we children took turns and
told them to each other. Sometimes we
had contests in making original conun-
drums and little verses. This was lots
of fun. Blu the incest 'houps' were
when mother told us tales of her girl
hood. We looked forward to that
dusky hour before superior we call
ed 1t supper then-when school was
over and lessons, too; for in those days
we somehow knew our lessons without
having to spend half the night over
them. All, then a mother could get
close to her children. Neither school
nor social duties nor fashionable din
ner hours came between them. l think
the youngsters Of this generation who
have no children's hour with mother
are to be vastly pitied."

No man sees himself truly except
in the light of Gods presence. One

The Edgefcld Advertiser says:

The Edgefield Advertiser says:
Would that Jack Frost could
with one fell swoop reduce the cot
ton acreage to the extent that he
has the peach crop. BY such an
act that grizzly old gentleman
would prove himselfto be great
benefactor. Such Il seeming dis
aster would be real blessing-bct-
ter cultivate half a crop and re-
ceive full price than to cultivate a
full crop and receive half price.

WILL AVOID FoRMOsA.

st. Petersburg, May 18.-The naval
game in the Far East is watched with
intense interest. but the admiralty is
able TO throw little light on the stu
alton. 1t gives no confirmation of the
Toxic report that Admiral Rojestven-
sky returned to Hon-KOhe bay. The
|. Russian admiral is keeping his move
ments and plans secret, not communi-
eating even with the home authorities.
The many wild reports emanating
from Toxic are attributed to the agi-
tated state of mind of the Japanese
over the result of the coming battle.
Many naval men incline to the Opin-
ion that ROjestvensky will pass out Of
tn China sea into the Pacific through
Ballingtang channel north of the isl
and of Luzon, Philippine islands, and
give Formosa a wide berth instead of
sailing through the 200-mlle stretch of
the Straits of Formosa, in which the
Russians might be subject to tor
pedo boat attack.
Another division of reinforcements
for Rojestvensky is almost ready at
Cronstadt, and Will be sent out under
the command Oof Rear Admiral Paren-
ago.

BIG sHAKE-UP IN CABINET.
Air at Capital Full of Talk of Pending
Changes.

Washington, May II. The air in
Washington is full of talk about
changes in the cabinet of President
Roosevelt, and if the rumored changes
take place between now and fall there
will be, by the time congress meets IN
extra session in October, almost an
entirely new cabinet. The announce
ment that Secretary of the Navy Nor
ton will leave the cabinet between
now and October is considered to be
final. Attorney General Moody, so
his friends say, will leave the cabinet
before fall, and it is reported that his
place may be filed by MIR. Taft, now
secretary of war. The talk has again
become concerned with the date of
The retirement OF Secretary of the
Treasury Shaw. 1t is said with some
emphasis that he will remain not
longer than next winter, and in some
quarters it is said to be settled thai
he will be succeeded by Postmaster
General Cortelyou. 1t is asserted, in
spite of semi official denials, that Sec
rotary Hay will return to the state de-
partment for a short time only, and
that he will retire to prive life on ac-
count of his protracted illness as soon
as Mr.. Roosevelt finds successor to
him
