Amusing Sick Children.

The most difficult period OF q child S
illness is probably the time when the
crisis Is past, when much depends on
the mother or nurse. and when the doc
tor recommends amusement without
fatigue. which makes no strain on the
nervous system. and causes no effort
of the Imagination. II is precisely the
time when the mother reigns supreme
and triumphant. Love gives her .ntui-
ton. and she knows by instinct how to
proportion the simple amusenents,
with which her very soul is stored. to
tho age and state of the little natient
who is above all. her child.
The infant may be amused by a dane
ing doll or rolling ball, but the child
who has begun 10 walk and talk de-
nands something more.

Buttermilk. or "lopperedo milk, is

washing in lukewarm water.
Nearly all fruit stains will disappear

Sitting Properly.

a hard mornings work and sits down

she is pretty sure to perch on TIE edge
ot her chair. so that there is an I'M
due strain upon the muscles of her

stead of being a rest, sitting down is
only a tax upon her already tired
muscles Again. notice women in their

SO on. Not one in twenty SITS rs she
should. The lower part of tho back
ought to be pushed firmly against the
back of the chair or The pew or the
seat. then the spine holds itself up, the
chest is expanded and the position is a
normal and healthfuI one. But as a
lule ii is the middle of the back which
comes against the back of the seat.
consequently the spine takes a curved
position. the chest is depressed 50 that
the lungs DO not act properly, and the
strain comes upon muscles which were

difficult to overcome the habit but it is

Recedinq Gums.

THE best remedy I know for reced-
ing gums" says a dental surgeon. IS
to saturate soda or bicarbonate of soda,
used freely as a wash and also in mas
saying the gums. The soda solution is
soothing to the irritated flesh and is
also strengthening. In massaging rub
the gums with a rotary motion from
the roots downward so that any pus
that might have formed between the
teeth and the gums will be forced out
for if left around the roots the foreign
matter will decay and may eat into
them and ruin the teeth

Deservinqs.

This is the height of our deserts:
At little pity for life's hurts;
A little rain. n little sun.
little sleep when work is done.
A little righteous punishment,
Less for our deeds than their intent:
little pardon now and then.
Because we are but struggling men.
A little light to show the way.
A little guidance when we stray:
A little love before we pass
TO rest beneath the kirkyard grass.
A little faith in days of change.
When life is stark and bare and
strange.
A solace when our eyes are wet
With tears of longing and regret
True it is that We cannot claim
Cnmeasured recompense or blame,
Because our way of life is small;
A little is the sum~of all.

AT THiRTY.FIVE
MILES AN HOUR

Persons who happened to be on Mill
street at about half past seven o'clock
yesterday morning beheld spectacle
that proved positive thriller. Three
men in hilarious state of intoxica-
tion in an automobile that they were
incapable Of handling dashed down
Mill street at the rate of over thirty
miles an hour. The street was we'll
filled with vehicles and as the mach
inc went zigzagging along every body
expected that a terrible collision
would occur. Blind luck, however,
carried the fellows through.
The automobile which entered town
by way of the bridge stopped at the
corner of Mill and Market streets; at
least, it was from this point that they
started on their mad dash down Mill
street. Their drunken and irresponsi-
BILE condition attracted everybody. AS
soon as they started they seemed to
give the machine all the speed 1t was
capable of and, figuratively, it was
flying as it Ehizzed by the post office
and on down street.
The men were unable to steer the
machine straight and every one ex-
before they gotsout of town. Near the
Baltimore Fruit company's store a
wagon was backed up to the curb,
while directly opposite stood one of
the big brewery wagons. To clear the
narrow space between seemed TO be q
feat that would require sober man
and rate of speed we'll within the
limit.
By this time it is believed the mach
inc was making thirty-five miles an
hour and as it approached the two
teams people felt sure that there would
be mixup with deplorable results
and many turned their faces aside.
The auto approached awk wardly
enough, but to the amazement of all
it cleared the wagons with the margin
of only handsbreadth.
At the same rate of speed it "skid-
ded" around the corner at the First
National bank and disappeared up
Bloom street.
Fortunately for the drunken auto
mobilists neither of the policemen
was on the street at that moment.
The identity of the men has not been
discovered as the number was missing
from the car.

ORDINANCE ONLY
HALF ENFORCED

Notwithstanding that there may be
another outbreak of hydrophobia at
any day, from all appearances it would
seem that no attempt is being made to
keep the dogs muzzled.
There is evidently a grave neglect
somewhere and great deal of criticism
is heard. AS matter of fact the ord
nance in the half hearted way in
which it is being enforced affords the
people of town little or no protection.
Anywhere, at anytime, person in
walking half dozen squares is apt to
encounter a dog pnmuzzled, while,
what is nearly as bad, large proper
tion of the dogs that are supposed to
be restrained wear muzzles that are
practically no muzzles at all. The
muzzles are too large or i'll fitting and
the dogs can carry bones or even in
dulge in Il fight. Those persons who
live up to the ordinance and have re-
strained their dogs in an effectual way
naturally become indignant when they
see how others, through favoritism or
neglect. are permitted to evade the
ordinance.
IL there ever was time when the
quarantine should be rigid it is at
present. AS is demonstrated by the de-
velopment of rabies in Mr.. Bond 5
horse, which was bitten here on Sept
ember 5th, the limit has been reached
when real danger occurs. The same
dog, SINCE ascertained to be mad, which
bit the horse bit large number of
other dogs, and it is rather more than
suspected that only small proportion
of these have been killed. The danger
to which the community is exposed is,
therefore, quite apparent.

OUR COIN MOTTO.

sin God We Trust Suggested by a
Maryland Farmer.
To an honest, Cod fearing farmer of
the state of Maryland is due the mot
10. "In God we trust" Which appears
on the coinage of the United States
In 1861. when Salmon L. Chase was
secretary of the treasury, he wrote to
him that as we claimed to be Il Chris
tian people we should make some Suita-
bic recognition of that fact on our
coinage.
The letter was referred to James
Pollock, director of the mint, who dis
cussed the matter in his report for
1862. Congress was apathetic, and
Chase mentioned ii to the lawmakers
again in 1868:
The motto suggested, In God our
trust, is taken from our national
hymn. The Star Spangled Banner
The sentiment is familiar to every citi-
zen of our country. 1t has thrilled
millions of American freemen. The
time is propitious; It's an hour of ma
tional peril and danger, an hour when
mans strength is nkness. when our
strength and sail on must be OF
God"
AS Il result IL t. cent bronze piece
was authorized b, congress to he COIN
ed the following year, April %. 1864,
and upon this was first stamped the
motto, In God we trust" By an act
of March 3, 1865, it was extended to
other coins.-Minneapol Journal.
