nae at a recent meeting listened to
addresses from six women who had
held fellowships from the associa-

show their vigor and ingenuity in the
pursuit of knowledge, and humor in
facing the difficulties of their tasks
For example, one of them wished to
study a manuscript in the monastry of
Monte Casino. She found the rules
of the order forbade any woman to
work in the library or any manuscript
to be taken out. But gentle appeal
to the abbot resulted in his sending
the desired treasure to the porter's

Jesus had compassion on the multitude.
He fed the 1000 and 5000, he gave his

loyal to the multitudes, but the multi

AT THE FACTORY GATE.


A pathetic little sketch from life,
given by Mr.. James Greenwood in his
Low Life Deeps," is particularly in-
teresting just now, when the child-,a-
Dor question is SO prominent. One
chilly, rainy day Mr. Greenwood stood
by tle door OF a factory n England
and watched the laborers 20 in. 1t
was an establishment where high-grade
work was done, and in it two hundred
girls, from Is to 16 years Of age, were
employed 1t was pretended that no
younger children were engaged, but
many of the poor little mites ccuid not
have been more than 8 or 10.
They were sharp-shouldered little
things, shrunken and shrewd, with
hungry eyes. 1t was noontime, and
therefore a free hour. Three clean,
tidy-haired little girls were looking out
Of the factory gate.

Father" was q slouching, lazy-look-

and three slices OF bread. This being
fairly divided, the three sisters re-

Father turned back, his great
hands thrust deep into his pockets, and
made haste to get home out OF the dis
agreeable weather. He may have been
unayoidably out of work, but my In

At the end of the noon hour two
shiver;ng little girls were late
found them in great distress, locked
out for half an hour. with the certain
ty of a fine. They stood, miserable
and bonnetless, their dirty faces
streaked with rain, ard grew quite
confidential with me.
Some one, for a lark, had told
/ them of cookshop where might be
bought enormous pennyworths of pud-
ding left cold from yesterday. The
dinner with which they were provided
consisted of a slice Of bread and ha'-
penny apiece. These last they had
made into joint stock, AMI had run a
mile and a half to get the pudding.
No such shop was to be found, and the
children had returned, hungry, dlsap-
pointed and late.

Summer days are perilous days for
the babies, and there are many moth
ers who are not sure just what to do.
A very able physician. one who spe-
cializes on babies, and is in charge of
one of the largest and most successful
infant clinics in the country, says:
The most Important factor is pure
milk You cannot lay too much stress
on that thousands of babies are killed
every summer by the germs held in
impure milk. Have the milk Pasteur-
lied, and use it the same day. At
least, have it sterlized. you can Pas
teurize it yourself. Put the milk in a
thoroughly clean vessel, and place in it
an ordinary thermometer. Clean the
thermometer. Bring the milk to tenn
perature of 167 degrees, and keep it
there for exactly twenty minutes. Then
remove ana cool. Use the same day.
Or you can destroy the germs by bring
ing the milk to the boiling point, and
Immediately removing. Do not prolong
the boiling, as this renders it less di-
gestible and may induce sickness.
"a child less than year old should
be given nothing but milk, and only
the simplest food for the next six
months. Giving the baby a taste of
this or that is extremely dangerous.
Feed the baby too little rather than too
much. Don't feed it every time it cries.
In hot weather feed less than usual.
Give the baby plenty of cold boiled
water (not ice water), and plenty Of
fresh air. Let it wear no more clothes
than is absolutely necessary. To over
dress an infant in the summer Is cruel
and dangerous. If the baby is taken
sick, stop all food Immediately. An In
FAINT can go twenty-four hours at least
without any food, and be none the
worse. A little castor oil Is valuable
for stomach troubles. but the prime
thing is TO stop feeding.
''To sum 1t all up--feed II pure milk
and nothing else, feed it too little rath-
err than too much, give boiled water to
drink and plenty of it, dress 1t lightly,
give it fresh air, and when illness
comes stop all feelings. Do this, and
the summer will be happy one for
you and for the baby"

For long and active life the religious
observance of the Sabbath is absolute

live, he said, senders it impossible for

us for the daily battle and for that
reason God had provided a day of rest
in each week. Only by religious OBJ
servance could this rest be obtained, he
declared.
