Care and Cure of the Child Affected with this Dangerous and General Comp1aint

 A child with a tendency to croup needs especial care to get in a condi- ton in which it will not easily yield to
 cause of .croup. The child exposed to
 draughts, which often occur without the mothers thinking of it, as when the
 child stands long at window in cold
 weather, or creeps about the floor where
 cold air comes in under the doors, may
 a catarrh of the nose is likely to be croupT, or if the throat is unhealthy, or
 if the growths called "adenoids' are present.
 Preventative Measures In short, when a child has tendency to crcup there is a reason for it which should be sought and measures taken
 to st~engthen the child in the weak
 points. so as to avoid such attacks.
 Sponeing the neck and throat with cold
 water has been recommended and found
 useful The chi1d's digestion should be
 watched. Especially should it avoid at night indigestible food.
 o1d-Fa .hioned Effective Methods
 From what has been said in the de-
 scriptson of the different forms of croup,
 1t will be seen that all measures of relief
 shoule be directed toward clearing the
 1aryn1~ of the accumulation of catarrhal
 secretsons. The o1d-fashioned idea was
 that if has value, in spite of what some of the modern writers say If the mem
 brane has formed quickly and the child is blus from lack of air, one should not stop fo make the child vomit by means
 of me5icine, but tickle the throat with finger.

Anxious writes: My face is covered all over with a soft down, and on my chin are coarse, ugly hairs, that completely dis figure my face" E. s: writes: Twill you please tell me if there is any safe way to get rid of the hair on the faee -'Iaos her face. aE. K" asks for the same advice as does "M. w" ''H. F." and many others.
 Removing superhuous Hair
 In times past I have given formulas for the removal of superhuous hairs, with directions how to use them; but think it wise to do so, as all depi1a- tories act by burning action on the skin, and unless used with greatest care they are liable to cause injury.
 Electricity is the best means of re- moving superfuous hairs if they are are many fine fuzzy hairs it is not well to use it, as it promotes the growth of these, and 1t is long, painful, tedious process that one has to go through be- fore the face is cleared of its hairy growth Therefore, electricity should except for the coarse hairs, there is no tendency to hairy growth on the face.
 Dangers of Electricity
 If it is decided to employ electricity, be sure that the one to whom you go for it understands the business thor oughly; if not, the result will not be troduced into the root of each hair, then the electricity is applied and the root is destroyed. If the needle does not enter the hair fo1licle exactly the root will not be destroyed If the cleo tricity is applied too strongly or for too long a time, the result will be a scar.
 I have seen cases in which the face has been permanently disfgured by the marks made hv the electric needle un-

 The air of the room should be made moist with steam, and the child often gets relief from inhafations of steam. A tent gan be made of a sheet over the bed and the steam introduced under it, so that it will act directly. Some add teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda to quart of water, or teaspoonful of the tincture of benzoin. Poultices are of great benefit.
 of the good results which she has ob- tained from the use of onion pou1tices, and she also administers the juice of onions. The good which comes from an onion poultice is the same which comes from an ordinary hax-seed poul- of heat.
 Heat the Great Remedy
 Sponges or towels doubled up and wrung out of water as hot as can be borne will give the same relief. The plications to the chest, and the admin istration of hot drinks will help the throat. This can be accomplished as well with hot milk as with the admin istration of hot onion syrup, and with much less discomfort to the mother or nurse.
 Another correspondent writes that she applies coal oil to the chest and gives it internally, with excellent effect. The same result can be obtained with camphorated oil and the administration of hot drinks.
 In conclusion, would say if the child has. much fever and has great difficulty in breathing. and becomes purple, the case is one of diphtheritic croup, and demands urgent relief. If the child has not much fever it is probably false croup, and that has scarcely been known to have other than a happy termination.
 In the former case, keep the other children away from the afflicted one, employ all the measures of isolation used in very contagious diseases, and get the doctor to come as soon as pos sible to administer antitoxin And again I would say, if you have Ncroupy child" do not await an attack, but find out what makes it croupy and take the means necessary to make 1t a healthy and well child.

 For younger misses a wide choice is allowed in the selection of the body of the hat. Soft black fe1ts are more pop ular than hats of any other material, and white fe1ts with black trimming are also
 much employed. Bows of silk, some times finished with folds of crepe, are the usual decoration, and crepe is al lowed for quite young children. where extremes are desired In selecting shapes for misses there is little choice outside the usual sailor and fiat hats For young children, as rule, all white is more favored than all black.
 In Regard to Shapes
 s In tIae selections of shapes for mourn ing millinery we should remember that they may not be the extreme of the pre- vailing mode. If high crowns or exag- gerated brims are in vogue, the mourn ing hat must follow at distance. In the best mourning millinery we find small sailors, toques and innumerab1e medium sized shapes from which to make selections.
 Materials begin with crepe for deep mourning, and range through silk gren- adines, crepe-chiffon, 1aIines, mourning silks and dull finished taffeta. Uncut

 Group is inflammation of the larynx. There are several forms of the disease, which are hard even for the doctor to distinguish between in the beginning, and the most frequent form is called false croup. They are all characterized sby catarrh of the larynx, the membrane of which secretes a discharge. Indeed, ftle trouble is generally continuation nf the cold from the nose to the throat. Tie inflammation irritates the vocal chords and gives rise to the hoarse, spasfnodic cries which are characteristic of the disease, and the irritation which keeps up the continuous and distressing coughing. This trouble affects the up- per part of the 1arynx, and is rarely, if ever, fatal There may be a slight fever with it
 The true fatal form of croup is really kdiphfheffa of the 1arynx. The symp- &pnas from the beginning are severe. 5s1e mucous membrane of that part of E1e throat is swollen and inf1amed, and h xnembrane is formed, and the child 4WlH literally be choked to death If the |aiF passage is not opened. he throat # s so small and narrow that it quickly Becomes blocked.

 know a family wherein a kind and loving father would have trained up his son in the way he should go,H but every time the child was corrected for wrong-doing, his mother would "petP him, thereby giving him the impression that his father was harsh" and encour- aging him to have his own way. As the child grew older he became more unruly and independent and his mother contiu- ued to "baby" him. She even interfered in the presence of the boy-with the father when he attempted to punish him. But the reckoning-day came. The poor heart-broken mother saw her folly when her boy, at the age of fifteen was sent to the Reform School
 Mothers, do not think you are 'cruel' or harsh" in teaching your boys to re- spect their father and yourself. Above all, let there be harmony in the horne. Training Our Daughters
 We study the care of our sons and daughters through babyhood and child planning during the early days to guide all the growing powers toward the kgoal of perfect manhood and womanho6d
 One daughter was thus unconsciously and pleasantly taught the best selection of dress materials, the most suitable ar rangement of color schemes and the wisest expenditure of money.
 This aforesaid fortunate little ladySa mother began when Margaret was four teen years old to take her daughter with her when she a-shopping went For two years, through the various seasons, the daughter listened and learned. An exact account of money expended was kept by the mother. At the sixteenth year the purse strings were the daughters, with a mothers watchful word of wisdom near; at eighteen we find a young woman who knows what she wants, why she wants it and how much she can af- ford to spend.
 Though the only child in home of ample means, this same young woman was taught from kindergarten days to make her birthday and Christmas gifts for the immediate family. To an out slider, in the beginning, they were fool ish little gifts, but years have sped and talents been added, while those near and dear are never forgotten by the fingers trained by practice and aided by love

GROWING ORANGES IN TEXAS.

Austin, Texas. Nov. 10.--Maj. Sam
II. Dixon, chief clerk of the depart
ment of agriculture, has just returned
from South Texas, where he has been
inspecting nurseries and orange
groves. He reports that the orange in
'dustry in that section OF the state was
never in better condition, and the
promise for an abundant yield was
never brighter. Probably there Is no
higher authority on orange culture in
Texas than Major Dixon, and he as
serts that the growers in the southern
part OF the state are making fortunes
out OF their groves, that there has not
been a killing of orange trees by the
cold for the past ten years.
THE fact that the growers OF the
state are reaping golden harvest from
their groves" said Major Dixon,
should forever settle the matter of
profit from the orange industry in
Texas"
Continuing. Major Dixon said that E.
3. Stockwell, one OF the Oldest orange
growers in the orange belt, has pro-
duced on an average OF $1,000 an acre
from his orchard. The Satsuma orange
seems TO be more prolific than other
kinds for this climate. This orange Is
not of Texas origin. II belongs TO the
mandarin family OF citrus fruits and is
the most hardy OF the Japanese varie-
ties.
Mhjor Dixon says the department Is
receiving inquiries from
people In the North wanting to know
about orange culture in
Texas. He considers the Hume bull
letin, which was issued some time ago
by the department Of agriculture, con-
tains all the facts concerning the in
dustry in Texas. II is not only in the
portion OF the state that
the orange hourishes, but also in the
country and around
Laredo.
