The Children,s Sumner

1.-THE question Of supper for the baby
and growing child is q very important
one." says Mariana Wheeler, an au-
thority on infant hygiene. 1.-THE meth
cd by which the food is administered
Is also important. No matter how care
fully a supper may be planned, it will
disa agree with the child if it is swallow
ed in large mouthfuls, only half chew
ed, or if the dishes meant to be tempt
ingly hot are served almost cold; if 1t
Is hastily washed down with large
drafts Of cold water, or ever milk, for
that matter, or If on top Of the supper
candy is allowed or even a very rough
and exciting romp. All these petty
details are Of great Importance if the
supper hour is to be a successful one
and is to prepare the child for the quiet
sleep so necessary to his growth.
Whatever food is intended to be
taken hot should be fed to the child at
a uniform temperature, the last spoon
full being Of the same degree Of warmth
as the first. To accomplish this the
pretty nursery hot water plates have
been invented which are now so much
in vogue. With one of these it will not
be necessary to hurry the meal in or
der that the food shall not grow cold.
For cereals, milk toast. egg, fish, etc.,
these plates should always be used.
do not mean that a child should be al.
lowed to play or prolong the supper I'M
necessarily; he should be made to at
tend to his meal properly. But he
should not be made to hurry. A good
rule to give a child is to chew each
piece Of food twenty times."=4: ~ d,

Baby's Teeth,

After the baby is five or six months
old, il it cries or frets in any way. the
young mother is more than likely to
think that the trouble is being caused
by it's teeth.
If the baby is getting the proper kind
and amount Of nourishment that it
ought to it's teeth will not bother it.
If you cannot find out just what makes
the baby fret ask your family doctor,
and, if he understands the case, in all
probability he will tell you to either
change the food or to increase the
amount.
Proper food and fresh outdoor air
will carry the baby safely through this
period that used to be dreaded so much
by all mothers. With these two the
child cannot help but take long, re-
freshing maps and will also sleep well
at night.
Do not take off the flannel band until
the child is at least three weeks old,
and even after that in most c%hangeable
climates it is wise to have some flannel
about the baby's body. The other gar
ments may be very thin, and this
keeps the little one comfortable during
the hot summer days without allowing
1t to catch cold.

Strange Little Worlds Are tho South
Pacific Ocean Steamers.
In the morning chow strange at sea)
I was awakened by the bleating Of a
lamb and by a lusty cockcrow. The
Royal Mail steamers of the west coast
are a strange little world. Built for an
ocean where storms are unknown,
they combine certain comforts not to
be found on much more p]retentious
boats.
Their saloons and cabins are excep-
tionally large and open directly upon
the promenade decks that stretch the
entire length Of the ship, there being.
properly speaking. no steerage and no
second class. The natives and others
who cannot afford the first class ticket
travel in the "cubierta," as it is called,
a deck at the stern rooted with canvas,
but otherwise open, where in pictur-
| esque confusion, surrounded by bags
and bundles, they loll in hammocks or
lie wrapped in shawls.
Toward this deck the hencoop faces
"a big two story affair, partly filed
with ripening fruits, bananas, oranges
and the like and partly with chickens.
ducks and other forlorn looking fowl,
fattening for the table. Between
decks stand your beef and mutton on
the hoof, gazing mournfully up at you
as you look down the ~hatchways.
Upon this homelike boat, quiet and
contented. with no unseemly hurry,
you meander down the coast at ten
knots. The air is soft as a caress, and
for at least eight months of the year
the sea is as placid as a mountain

Don'ts For the Mother of Bows.

Don't think that a little boy must
necessarily be less polite and we'll man
nered than a little girl. He is often
shier than his sisters, but this is no
reason why you should excuse him for
abruptness and rudeness. Self con-
trolled, courteous are quite as
necessary for a man as a woman, and
the fact that your son is naturally shy
should make you more than ever par
ticular with him on this point.
Don't think that the only punish
ment which affects a boy ut all is a
whipping. Boys are even more sensi-
tive than girls, and they feel a sharp
word quite as keenly. Though less
ready to cry and say that thoy are
sorry than their sisters, they take a
scolding quite as much to heart.

Points
FOR
Mothers
The Hour Before Bedtime.

The best hour Of the day to many lit
tie people is the delightful time just
before Old Man Nod comes to take
them away to Sleepy Hollow.
Card houses are ever popular, and
threading beads, discovered in the
treasure house Of mothers workbox.
Acting a story is the very best, for
does it not include dressing upY" And
what girl child can resist the charms of
a long train and a feather in her hair?
The old fairy tales, Beauty and the
Beast "Cinderella" and Little Red
Riding Hood" all make delightful i'm
promptu plays.
The Beast. ferocious and lifelike be-
meath his shaggy hearth rug; Beauty,
asleep on a pile of cushions in a satin
gown and a royal crown Sf cardboard
and tinsel; Red Riding Hood, all in
scarlet, and the Wolf, quite ready to
eat her, in daddy's motorcoat, are a
never ending source of merriment.
Plays Of this kind have a twofold
value. Besides amusing the children
they bring out their originality and
imaginative powers, and make be-
lieves' Of all sorts are preferable to
ready made games.
1t is not wise, however, to let the lit
tie ones get too excited so soon before
bedtime, and a careful mother will call
for order and a few minutes rest be-
fore the clock strikes.
"I'l tell you a story" has a wonder
full power to restore calm again, but
especially with v and delicate
children is it dangerous to set the little
brains a-working on any excitable top
ic, and great are must be taken as to
the theme Of the tale, for nightmares
and restless dreams are the inevitable
result. In the CASE of occasional Sleep
lessness a cupful Of hot milk is the
best Of all sedatives.

POCKETS VERSUS HAND BAGS.

Civilized man finds it difficult to

menting IN woman's p%ocketless condi-

Here is Il sex difference which is
something more than fashion, which
goes to the very heart of the subjec-

sition of man is at once established.

FISHING At THE LAKE
Over 500 People Spent Sunday
at Lake Madison Fishing.

Yesterday was a great day at Lake
Madison. 1t is estimated that more
than 500 people visited the lake yester-
day from this city and surrounding
towns. Some came on pleasure rides
in automobiles and carriages, while
the good fishing points about the lake
were occupied by fishermen, singly
and in parties, and boats were in use
by those who desired to lure the finny
beauties to their hooks from the deep
water. The catches ranged from not a
bite to a mess, three, ten. twenty and
as high as eighty. according to the
luck and conscience Of the fisherman
in relating his experiences. But
practically everybody who visited the
lake with hook and line was reward
ed with a string of fish. Pike perch
which are plentiful in the lake was
the game the fishermen were after.
These are caught with mipnows-snd
they bite furiously and put up a dandy
fight when they become entangled with
the hook. Fine specimens Of perch
were taken yesterday, ranging in
weight from ten ounces to a pound
and three quarters. Good fishermen
return to the lake fish caught which
are under the weight of ten ounces
Large strings of bullheads were
caught. These are not as dainty as
perch and will take almost any old
kind Of bait. They are fine eating this
time of the year and many people
prefer them to the perch. Suckers
galore are in the lake and inlets and
while they do not take the hook they
are 80 plentiful and sluggish that they
are easily caught with the hands in
shallow water. A number of travel
ing men came to the city by Saturday
afternoon trains, spent yesterday fish
ing at the lake, departing on their
business by the trains this morning.
They were delighted with their outing
at the lake, and as they all had good
luck fishing they will have fish stor-
les to tell all week-and make an
effort to get back to Lake Madison
next Sunday.
The day was glorious, just warm
enough and just cool enough, and it
was a happy bunch of people that spent
Sunday at Madison's famous summer
resort.

FAMILY NARROWED
Experience of a Settler With
Missouri River Flood.

Pierre, April as Marooned ON an
island in the Missouri river for a period
of more than 48 hours during the re.
cent high water. Frank Philbrick, his
wife and baby were rescued when they
were almost dead from exhaustion and
exposure. They were caught by the
rapidly rising water on Lafferty island.
in the north central pant of the state.
The water finally ~overfiowed the island
and Philbrick was compelled to take
his wife and baby to a platform he
had built between four trees, the
platform being about 10 feet above the
ground.
There Philbrick and his wife and
baby were exposed for a part of the
time, and with the fear that the ris-
ing water which flowed swiftly under
the platform would rise sufficiently
to engulf them and sweep them away.
When matters were at the critical
j%uncture persons living on the ada.
cent shore OF the river discovered the
predicament Of the refugees and, after
q perilous journey through the swol-
len and icejammed river. succeeded
in rescuing Philbrick and his family.
