the sleeping room has been thoroughly ventilated Is to have warm covering for the beds. Covering which will retain its warmth and not quantities of it which is useless.
 Physicians advise the children are well off to sleep out doors for their daytime maps if properly covered and that much that Is healthful may be derived from staying out of the nursery as much as it is possible.
 The sun and fresh air will do more to- ward bringing the roses to the little cheeks than any amount of medicine or nursing in hot stuffy rooms.
 Of course in cold weather the little tots must be bundled up in flannel rugs and the tiny feet well protected with eiderdown lap robes and warm "booties' underneath.
 Air Is what a child needs, both in sleep and walking and the infant should never be permitted to sleep with any one.
 well-known baby specialist says:
 "A few rules of hygiene are necessary, and make the child ten times better able to throw off the diseases he meets with in life. Never permit anything to de- lay these little cares of the child Make them a habit for your children and your self, and you will find that life is better, and sweeter, and happier for each and all"

BOCAS DEL TORO
 DAMAGED BY RAIN

Mobile, February 11.-(Special.) )-Without an ounce of cargo the big Norwegian steamship Belvernon of the United Fruit eompanys fleet warped into port today, her master, Capt Henry Hendrickensen, bringing a story of rain, ruin and de- vastation to property and fruit planta- tions of Bocas del Toro and vincinity. Bridges have been washed away, plan tations badly damaged and the fruit trade crippled as the result of rains of cloud burst dimensions. According to Captain Hendrickensen he reached Bocas del Toro from Port Limon on February 5 to find that rain had fallen in torrents, night and day, for more than week and the ef- tire territory under water from three to five feet deep.
 People were wading around waist deep on the plantations, bridges had been washed from their fastenings and com munication entirely out off from the Changuinola district. So far as he could ascertain there was no loss of life. Cap tain Hendrickensen said that he had never seen conditions in all his years of travel to the fruit districts of British Honduras and Costa Rica as bad as now. Heavy rains have done untold damage to the fruit industry and it will be weeks, perhaps months before 1t will assume any thing like normal conditions.
 When the Belvernon reached Bocas del Toro there were five steamships there waiting for cargo. None could be sup piled and he received orders to come to Mobile. He proceeded to Colon, Panama. From Colon he went to Port Limon, Costa Rica, at which latter port the country was under water from incessant rains, bridges had been washed away and con ditions were in a bad shape. There was no fruit obtainable there and he proceeded to Mobile to await further orders.

How To Use the Hands

Many & woman has deeply sympathized with the amateur actress who exclaimed in dismay;
 But what shall do with my hands, monsieur?"
 The reply of the Frenchman was as nnintelligible to her as to great many others
 Let them hang at your side, mad emolselle."
 Delsarte's old aphorism: Strength at the center and freedom at the extrem- ties" is the most effective rule for at- taining grace of body. and again, one of the least understood.
 Strength" is often interpreted as rigid ity. and freedom" as carelessness.
 Taken as whole the waist is the center and the law means that it should be held firmly. the torso and lower portions of the body swinging freely from 1t. So with the hands. The wrist is the center and the hand the extremity.
 beautiful hand is indeed desirable inheritance, but 1t loses much of it's beau- ty and symmetry unless every move ment expresses sympathy and grace.
 splendid exercise Is to double the fore arms against the arms proper so that Inc DdckS or tl6 ndIuS touc1 Ino SfOuiu- CTS. Drop the hands forward to the wrists as though they contained no bones, and shake them vigorously. This tends to make the wrists supple and leads to 8 second exercise.
 Allow the arms to hang limp at the sides. Lift the arm. then the wrist, then the hand Each movement follows so closely upon the other that they are all really one.
 few minutes of this exercise after the devitalizing one. will really work an i'm portant improvement and very shortly it will not be necessary to ask:
 What shall I do with my hands?"

Matching the Eyes

If your eyes are blue, of the pale china-doll tints, or of that nondescript tone, half gray. half green. then by all means choose q frock or ribbon garni- ture of Copenhagen or porcelain blue
 This particular shade will deepen the tone of pale blue eyes two tones and transform the nondescrpt ones into quite a blueness.
 Don't, however, if your eyes are the blue that goes with red hair, indulge in blue gowns. It will make you washed out and characterless.
 Few mothers realize this; hence their ruddy-haired daughters, until they ar rive at years of a color sense for them selves, go clad in blue for traditions sake, with never thought to looks.

Her Kind Of Tape Measure

The buying of a tape measure seems simple thing" said a young woman the other day. but really 1t is quite difficult to get the kind I want It is nothing remarkable that I demand in my tape measure. What do I want? Only one thing-that is to have the numbering of the inches reversed on the two sides, so that no matter which end of the tape measure 1 pick up on one or the other side is the number one and from that off up to 36 or 60, as the case may be. If I get a mea sure which has the figures on one side backed with the self -sam me figures on the other side 1 seem fated to pick up that measure always at the end hav- ing the high number Then l must either drop the measure and begin at the other end. or do some rapid arith- metic"

showing a list of every article of value belonging to the state prison department from tin cup to a saWmill. and con- graduating the management of the state farms in fulsome terms.
 The report shows decided increase in values. the total being s1s26. .o9, as against 92s.o77. 27 one year ago. The in- crease is due very largely to the im- provement of the farms and clearing of fresh lands The lands are divided into five classes-hrst class being valued at S60 per acre, fifth class at S20
 The state owns four of these convict farms, and they are valued as follows by the ppralsers-igures for last year being giving first:
 sunnower county farm, s7o1, ,24s.S4, against $S67, ,934. 46
 Holmes county farm, ssS,54s 25, against $154, ,643.75.
 Kinds county farm. .s4. against SS5. .003 .02.
 Rankin county farm. s,6,82l .s4, against $s2, 266. Il.
 Included in the totals for this year are. in addition to the above, PITS bales of cot ton remaining unsld, and valued at $136 300. also office fixtures and furnishings at Jackson valued at S1222. "a. In order to understand the magnitude of the states farming operations 1t Is necessary to know that these four farms l contain about 35000 acres of land, most l of which Is in cultivation or pastures. l There are something above loco convlcts on hand, about 100 being eripples, or in l capacitated for hard work. There are 1 also about 40 women, of them white, all l of whom are confined on the Hinds county i farm where the hospital and the cloth ] ing factory are located. | The cultivation of these several farms requires a great number of head of horses and mules, which listed as fol- lows: Mules, 597; horses 55
 Of cattle, there are 597 head, and of hogs and pigs, 1417, so that the prospect for producing the 25,00O pounds of meat that is necessary per month is very flat tering
 The appraisers report that the eonvicts are all in fine health and spirits and that every one questioned on the sub ject declared he had abundance to eat.
