THE BABY's BOTTLE.

The summer months are by fer the
most trying Of the year upon babies and
young children, for during these months
thousands OF children contract bowel
complaints, and die with amazing
Iapidity, in spite of the efforts Of the
doctors.
IL is very noticeable that infants fed
from bottles are much more liable to
contract Summer diseases than breast
fed babies. Iodeed, the mothers milk,
il the mother is healthy and takes
care of herseli, is the very best food that
can be given young baby.
The dangers from nursing bottle
can never be completely removed, but
any sensible mother can greatly reduce
them by taking proper care Of the baby's
bottle. No times that the mother spends
on her child will bring better returns
than that she spends in keeping the
bsby's bottle clean aud sanitary.
Much depends on the bottle and the
nipple. A round bottle, with rounded
bottom, is preferable to any other form,
and is much more easily cleaned. The
nipple should be simple and attached
directly to the mouth OF the bottle. The
nursing tubes, in vogue in some quarters,
cannot be too much condemned. They
can never be kept clean, and they may
form the lurking place for the germs
that may kill the baby.
Before filling the bottle with milk,
rinss it thoroughly with sOspsuds aud
then rinse in clean water. Then place
it for ten minutes in boiling water, after
which i. is ready for use as soon IS it
cools The nipple should be placed in q
solution of boric acid, prepared by dis
solving tesspOOnful of bOric acid in q
pint of water, and should be washed be-
fore it is used.
As soon as the baby has finished with
the bottle, wash it out aud then place
it in solution of bOric acid similar to
that used for cleaning the nipple. Then
rinse 1t thoroughly, as directed above.
It is best to have a number of bottles,
so that one is not used too frequently. II
the bottle is not given TO the baby i'm
medistely after it is filed, keep it iu o
cool place. away from the flies.

DAMAGE by STORMS.

Reports from the vicinity OF Memphis
bring advices of devastation by recent
rain and wind storms. Mississippi and
Arkansas seem to have suffered most.
The Arkansas river is out of its banks
and warnings have been issued that
other rivers will rise above the danger
point. la both states thu crops are
ssid to have been almost wholly destroyed.
Numbers of towns are under water and
families have been driven to the roofs
of their homes, the only means of transit
being by boat. Great damage has been
done to the railroads and in several
places trains are tied up, while the
telephone and telegraph wires are down
in many localities. A tornado passed
over the northern portion of Mississippi
Wednesday, wrecking many houses.
AS yet no deaths have been reported.
Practically every river and creek 10
lower Alabama and Mississippi is at
food stsge, all lowlsnd crops being
ruined, many head of cattle drowned aud
much timber lost. The rain we're fol-
lowed by hail storms, which rszed the
growing crops and even damaged build
iugs. The Mobile ana Ohio Railroad
has suffered serious interruption of
traffic, and has had to operate trains
out of Mobile owing to washouts. The
town Of Shubuta, Miss, is virtually an
island, being cut off from the outside
world, except for telephone and tele-
graph communication.

The visitors made eleven touch downs and nine goals leaving the score GA to 0.
 It was a holiday in Williams while the contest was on. The stores were. closed during the big game and everybody was at the fair grounds to see It.
 The Prescott Courier of Sun ndav says: "The Prescott boys, it was learned. are highly delighted with their reception.

 The Williams boys will go to Prescott Friday night and play on Saturday afternoon. They expect to put up much harder fight at their next contest and the score will proba bly, be close one. The local boys are now on to the game and will know how to handle them selves.

Txvo brothers were once at Count
Won Moltke's house at an evening
Marty. Both were captains Of the gen.
eral staff. The general came up to
group Of gentlemen, one Of whom was
one of the brothers. After joining In
the conversation be said to the latter:
"Just tell me who is that tall officer
near the fireplace on the other side. l
forget his name"
That's my brother, your excel
lency," was the answer.
A smile stealing over the generals
face suggested the idea that he had
not obtained the information he wish
ed. Some time after the general went
to another group Of people and there
Joined the officer whose name he had
inquired. Suddenly the others saw him
turning away, with the same smile on
his face.
Afterward, when they inquired from
the young officer what the general bad
asked him, he replied:
Gle asked me who that officer was
over there"
"And what did you sayT
81 said that he was my brotherT
The general gave up inquiring the
name Of the two brothers for that
evening.

Buffoonery In Hamlet"

The buffoonery once tolerated In pro-
yincial theaters is illustrated In an an
ecdote set forth 10 the memoirs OF Bar
~ Sullivan. Wright who was the first
gravedigger, prepared himself to take
the house by storm by having incased
his person within a dozen or more
waistcoats Of all sorts Of shapes and
patterns. When about to commence
the operation of digging the grave for
the fair Ophelia Wright began to un-
wind by taking Off waistcoat after
waistcoat, which caused uproarious
laughter among the audience. But as
fast as be relieved himself OF one
waistcoat Paul Bedford, the second
gravedigger, incased himself In the
castoff vests, which increased the sal
vos Of laughter, for as Wright was
getting thinner Paul grew fatter and
fatter. Wright, seeing himself out
done, kept on the remainder Of the
waistcoats and went on with his part
quite crestfallen.

An Awkward Selection.

The first Baron Kenyon was rather
fond Of telling the story Of how while
on circuit with Justice Rock they en-
tered village just in time to accom-
pany the population to the little vii
lage church. The parish clerk, anxious
to have the congregation show due APP
probation Of the honor conferred by
the presence Of the distinguished Ju-
rists, gave out two verses Of one OF
the metricsl psalms: Speak, . ye
judges of the earth, if just your SEN
tence be, or must not innocence ap-
peal to heaven from your decree? Your
wicked hearts and judgments are alike
by malice swayed, your gripping hands
by mighty brides to violence betrayed"
By this time most OF the adults had
woke up to the application OF the
psalm and remained silent, allowing
the children 10 continue the second
verse.-London Taller.
