~ IHAT's the matter, deareT' asked daddy as Evelyn shivered a
am little bit when he drew her mosquito netting shut and kissed
her good night
"Oh, it's nothing, daddyI' answered Evelyn. And I'm really
ashamed Ito be such a baby. But a hordd spider got o N my dress this after
noon, and I've felt creepy ever since" 2
~ "rm surprised at my bright little girl" said daddy. "snly folks give all
thdrs sympathy to the fly, which kills more persons in the year than all the
tigers and wlye s and snakes an sharks put together.
But, whne the fly is If 10 use to htmselfa and in fact a danger 10 every

"Wen, you car hardly call your friend an astronomer" laughed daddy,

Correct Carriage.

Walking or standing with the knees
crooked Is merely a bad habit in a
child, and 1t must be corrected with in
cessant reminders, and an inclination
toward round shoulders "a be treated
to a great extent In the same manner.
Give the chlld's vanity a boost by
telling 1t to go and look in the glass
when it is walking in these ways and
after awhile merely saying the word
glass" will be a reminder of the mis-
conduct. But If a physical weakness
attends the trick Of dropping the Shout
ders over go to the children's corset
department in any big store, purchase
a linen brace and make the child wear
it until 1t gets over the trick.
Nourishing food, fresh air and sooth-
ing baths are required even more than
orthopedic boots and braces In the cor
rection Of any youthful trouble. If
the child Is not properly fed and sleeps
in a room with bad air the nerves are
poisoned and the muscles starved, and
the trouble shows itself In the weakest
place. Weak ankles. concave chests,
ricketts, and other disagreeable signs
In little bodies all mean that nature
is being abused In some way.

Hints For Mothers.


Rub wasp and bee stings with a slice
of raw onion.
Bouncing the baby is more apt to
nauseate than to soothe him.
Keep a mosquito netting over the
baby's carriage when he sleeps out Of
doors.
Hot water applied to a bleeding cut
will usually stop the flow Of blood
quickly.
Don't wake the baby. Hang a plac-
ard with these words printed in large
letters over his bed.
A white lining in the hood Of a
baby's carriage causes a white glare
which injuries his eyes.
If the baby gets sunburned wash the
burned places with warm sweet milk.
following with a bath In clear warm
water.
A baby allowed to roll upon the floor
will creep and walk more quickly
than one which is held or tied In a
carriage.
During the hot weather rub the chill
dren's shoes with a little vaseline. The
shoes will last longer, look better and
stay soft.

Baby's Basket,

If you have a strong clothes basket
or the bottom Of al old baby buggy

Fasten the legs to the four corners
Of the basket with screws through a
thin board bottom slightly smaller all

Finish by lacking strips Of thin
board two inches wide around the

Baby's Sleeves.

Most mothers tie up their baby's
sleeves with ribbon. A pretter way
(and one that saves the trouble of
ironing out the ribbons) is to purchase
two small strings Of white or gilt
beads and two medium sized pearl but
tons Fasten one button On each
sleeve, slip a string Of beads over It
and fasten at the shoulder with a baby
pin. The effect is charming-and It
costs about Is cents altogether.

Some Points For Fathers.

Must be tactfully wary Of criticism.
Must never laugh at the questions Of
his child; may laugh with him, but
never at him.
Must give his child high standards,
for by their aid will he be best able to
control and understand himself.
Must study his children individually,
for the same child who shrinks from
coersion and advice will often respond
instantly to ~gentleness. wisdom and
example.
