STOPS HEADLIGHT GLARE.

A novel device has recently been per-
fected for overcoming the danger
from glare in motor car headlights.
This device consists of rack of
aluminium plates placed behind the
main glass and in front of the lens and
burner.
These plates are placed horizontal
ly, one above the other, about one
eighth, inch apart, and have their low
er surfaces highly polished and their
upper surfaces painted dead black.
The effect is that from a distance of
about $50 yards the full light is seen
without any apparent shading, but as
the car approaches, the light and glare
become weaker and weaker, until
when a few yards away, nothing can
be seen but faint gray glow.-Popu
lar Mechanics.

PLATINUM.

A platinum strike is more useful to
the world just now than a gold strike,
and it is to be hoped that there is no
exaggeration in the report of the dis
covery of large deposit in Lassen
county, California. 1t was made while
searching for gold, and paying guam
titles of the latter metal are said to
have been encountered, but interest
centers in the platinum, which is re-
ported to run from three to seven
ounces to the ton. Even the minimum
figure would represent a handsome
profit, since platinum has been selling
at SAT an ounce. The value of this
metal grows steadily with the progress
of industry.

flannel There are many patent diaper
ings on the market Avoid all those
made with an interlining> or one sur
face of rubber. For first diapers,
good material is old soft Turkish
toweling. In this connection, it may
be said that it is safer to wash all of
baby's clothing before it is worn. In
this day of mercerized and treated"
fabrics there may be chemicals used
in bleaching, etc.. that will injure the
tender flesh and start a case of eczema.
These articles will keep the baby
comfortable until he is three months
of age, when few more elaborate
slips and prettier coat may be added
to his outfit, with perhaps a nainsook
petticoat or two But everything should
be simple, loose and hung from the
shoulders. Nothing should interfere
with his digestion, breathing and mo-
tions. The baby bound at any point of
his small anatomy will fret.
Never use on the newborn baby
new diapers that have not been thor
oughly washed to remove all the
dressing" in the fabric. If possible
have old materials for the first diapers,
or cheese cloth washed soft. Babies
chafe so easily in the first few weeks
of their lives.
The care of the baby's clothing is
all important. 1t must be kept scru-
pulously clean and washed with clean
water and pure white soap. Diapers
should not be dried and then used a
second time. Directly they are remov.
ed, they should be dropped into an
enameled or stone pail of water, kept
for the purpose, and washed out every
day. Flannels carelessly washed will
shrink and inflame tender skin. Slips
not properly rinsed in washing, will
irritate the flesh at neck, and wrists
and under the arms.
In hot weather baby should dress
ed accordingly, for comfort. A cottor
shirt should be substituted for wool, {
knitted belly-band of cotton for tn,
wooden one. The baby winter, or sum
mer. that perspires is over-dressed.
The restless baby should have night
) gowns with shaped feet. And all babe
should have blankets of their own

AS a child grows older it requires
more and more personal attention
from the mother, and as the functions
of the bowels are of utmost importance
to health, great attention should be
paid to them.
Diet is of great importance, and the
mother should watch the effect of GER
tain foods. A food will constipate one
and not another, and so we have a
healthy food like eggs causing bilious
ness to thousands, and a wholesome
fruit like bananas constipating many
1t is also to be considered that the
child is growing, and great changes
are taking place in the young man or

yet settled itself to its later routine.
A very valuable remedy at this stage
and one which every growing boy and
girl should be given often or occasion

This is net hard and fast list, but
one that may be varied with the taste
and purse of the mother. 1t contains
every essential.
Silk and wool or cotton and wool
shirts are preferable to Atwood for
the tender skin of the newborn baby
even in cold climates. In warm wealth
er the little shirt may be all cotton.
The belly-band must be unhemmed
and unbound if it is not to cut into the
tender flesh, and it must be fastened
firmly but not tightly with very small
safety pins, five or six, so tina it
will not slip. AS soon as the baby be.
comes active, the belly-band will begin
to slip up under the arms and perhaps
interfere with the breathing. Then
use knitted band with tiny shoulder
straps which can also be fastened at
the bottom to the diapers. These, like
the belly-band, are better if bought in
silk and wool, or wool and cotton com
binations. They both support the alb
domen and ward off chill to the bowels
The flannel skirts which show the
same soft mixture of silk and wool
or cotton and wool, are hung from the
shoulder, not pinned around the long
suffering abdomen, and should not be
more than 26 inches in length. What
were once known as long clothes
are no longel used by intelligent moth
ers. The christening robe and its fel
low-frocks which sweep the floor, are
now reserved for royal babies on state
occasions.
The flannel skirt may be hem-stitch
ed or bound with silk braid or embroid
cred in a fine scallop. This is baby's
only skirt. The old-fashioned skirt o
cambria, lawn, ETC., has gone out. Owe
the flannel skirt is worn the simples
