Water Soaked Inside and Outside at

Matrons of the west may be inter

rian native baby's morning toilet.
Anything over three months old is no

familias and is bathed with the other
children, generally a numerous brood,
in the chill morning air before sunrise.

not form part Of the household equip

the infants are subjected to a sort of
water cure treatment. The mother
seizes a child, scoops up a handful Of
water and, using her thumb as a kind
Of spout. squirts it with extraordinary
deXterity into the youngsters mouth
and down it's throat. Protests in the
shape of loud gurgles, horrible chok-

unheeded. The steady stream of wa

throat until the mothers practiced

Advice to Smokers.

Here are a number of don'ts for
smokers. some of which no doubt vii,
surprise good many men: Don't
smoke directly after a meal There is
the most irresistible craving to smoke,
but it is wiser to wait half hour or
an hour. Don't smoke out Of doors
in high wind or in cold, frosty
weather. In the former case it is dan
gerOuS, and in the latter it cracks the
lips and prevents proper breathing.
Don't smoke with the cigar or pipe
held at the corner of the mouth. This
eXcites the secretion of more saliva
than when the cigar or pipe is held
straight in front. And, above all,
don't get in the bad habit OF expecto-
rating frequently when smoking. 1t
is quite unnecessary and merely hab-
it and harmful.-St Louis Post-Dis-

Miniature Trees That Are Grown IN
China Bowls.
In the window Of a florist stood some
quaint china bowls, in each of which
grew a tree-not a shrub, but a full
sized tree, dating back many years.
YES" replied the florist to the writ
er's inquiry, "they are real trees-oaks,
naples and beech trees. We get them
from Japan, where the secret of how
to rear them is known only to a few.
They are raised from seeds or special
ly selected cuttings, which are watch
ed and tended with that marvellous
patience inherent in the eastern races.
Fifty years may pass before the tree
is considered Salable. During this pc
Rod the plant is trained and it's nat

of the rearer. The gardener prunes
and trims and rears and directs with
what Carlyle called genius-'an inf
mite capacity for taking palms. A way
ward tWig may be bound up for two
or three years to insure it's correct
growth. Periodically the tree is re-
potted. Each time this happens the
roots are carefully examined and use
less fiber cut away. Everything is
done to concentrate the life of the
tree in the smallest possible space.
And in time, after years of labor, the
plant loses its ability to send out long,
lusty shoots and becomes delightful

REVOLUTIONARY RELICS.

The Revolutionary sword of Colonel
John Haslet has been presented to the
city by his great-grandson, Dr. James
Darrach, and placed among the histori-
cal collections in Independence Hall.
During the French and Indian War
John Haslet commanded a company in
Colonel James Burd s End Pennsylvania
Battalion in the expedition against
Fort Duquesne in 1853. At the out
break of the Revolution he accepted the
command of the Delaware regiment fur
nished by the state upon the call of the
Continental Congress, a body which
Washington Irving mentions as fColo-
mel John Haslet's well equipped and
well disciplined regiment Colonel
Haslet was commissioned January 2,
l776, and remained in service until he
was killed at the battle of Princeton.
January 3, 1777.
Haselt was buried in Philadelphia.
but in 1S41 his body was removed by
the State of Delaware and buried with
great ceremony at Dover, where a
monument marks his resting place.
The record of Colonel Haslet' s wear
of service in the Continental army was
one Of surprising gallantry. At the bat
tie of Long Island his regiment stood
for more than four hours with fivine
eolors under heavy artillery fire, the
British not daring to advance, although
they were six times as many as the lit.
tie band of Delaware and MARYLAND pa
triots. When Washington was planning
the surprise Of the Hessians at Trenton
Colonel Haslet was i'll, and the com
mander-in-chief offered him a leave OF
absence, which he declined, and re
manned with his troops during the
movement, only to fall few days after
at Princeton. Of this action Irving
says: Haslet distinguished himself
throughout the campaign by being fore
most in services of danger. He was in
| deed gallant officer, and gallantrv sec
onded by the Delaware troops. -

s'Easier to Move -

sfThe century-long struggle for per-
sonal freedom has invaded the home, :
saws Mrs. Richards .'The father feels
no care for the child beyond paying the
bills. The mothers responsibility ends
with food and clothes. Education Is
left to the school and manners to the
street. In the rented house there is
little sense of procession; frequent NOV
ings render clothes more important
than furniture, and cause books and
pictures to be. looked upon as trouble
some. It is easier to move than to
clean house. The result is social fer
ment and discomfort and family dis
cord.
Housekeeping has become burden
and not delight; every dollar spent
on home is grudged; the responsible
tiles of keeping up a separate family
abode are more and more irksome and
are readily thrown off; the time and
money so saved are frequently spent in
communal pleasure rather than in in
dividual development. This is a Sc
rious phase in American social life and
deserves the attention of all thoughtful
persons, especially since it is doubtful
if health and peace are increased by
the so-ealled improvements
stThe only practicable remedy yet
proposed is education in true standards
of living, in what constitutes better
homes, more comfortable conditions,
and in a clearer perception of those
tendencies toward mere imitation and
luxury, which lead to degeneration of
mind and BODY.

ceries, vegetables, fruit, and even
good-sized woodpile was left at
the door to assist in preparing the
feast. Mr.. Parker is very grateful

CONNECTICUT VALLEY
TRANSFERS

Last week, local associations of
team owners from Springfield, Hol-
yoke, Hartford, New Haven, Green
field, Northampton, and other places
gathered at Springfield to talk over
matters of especial interest, to their
business. Members of the local
Association spoke but the attrac-
ton for many were the speeches by
prominent members of the National
association. The account gives the
following paragraph to Mr.. Quimby
of Boston, who is a man of brains
and hustle in any business in which
he takes an interest:
Vice-President William d. Quimby Of
the National association made very
effective address on the advantages of
organization and the manner in which
teamowners could not only "get together,
but stick together" to mutual advantage
and financial benefit. He spoke in very
convincing way of the varied conditions
found n various centers and of some of the
means employed to cause people in general
to "sit up and listen" when the express
men and teamsters demanded their fair
and legitimate rights.

HOW THE EXPOSITION
INSTRUCTS.

Special programs are arranged for
each day, especially relating to the
cities, towns and organizations to be
represented. Mayors and other
officials of cities, selectmen and
other town officers, are invited to be
present. By means of these special
features, the good from the 1915"
Exposition will be diffused beyond
the limits of Boston and its suburbs.
The information as to methods for
maintaining community living con-
ditions and creating better ones, that
is graphically presented by many
of the 200 varied exhibits, is of
practical use to all cities and most
towns, small and large in population.
For example, there is a neat
working mechanical device which
shows the contrast between a living
room with plenty of light and air,
and one without these necessary
conditions. This is an optical il
fusion here, but far from an illusion
where such an unhealthful state
of affairs exists. There is another
device which shows equally graphi-
cally the probable danger from
public drinking cups used by every
person from school child to tramp.
1t is by such means as these that
the 1915" Exposition shows rene
dies for bad conditions; it does not
rest with a mere statement that this,
that, and the other thing should be
otherwise, but shows the actual
and its remedy. For this
reason the Exposition is unique and
in its revelations to all

teachers. The schools will COM
mence again November 20, for a
ten weeks term. A vacation of
one sweek will be taken Christmas
week. This year the children will
have the advantage of two weeks
extra of school.
A reception was given Rev. c..
C. Parker and wife Tuesday after
noon and evening.
The parsonage is no longer a
possibility but is coming into evil
dence. A lot has been purchased
of Mr.. S. E. Campbell, the cellar
dug and the wall nearly COM
pleted. About $1,000. has been
subscribed and promised. Not all
the people who are interested in
this matter have yet been seen.
Nearly every one who has been
seen thus far is contributing in a
way which means success for the
parsonage.
