Mangrove trees are to me the most
fascinating of all the vegetable
growths of our strange planet When
young, as we thus first came upon
them, at the opening of the creek,
there is something tender and idylic
about them, with the fresh, childlikc,
laureline leaves and dangling rods Of
emerald that were really the suckers
OF their banianlike roots; but, as we
proceeded inland they grew into an
absence and bizarre maturity Ike
nightmares strding out IN every direc-
ton, with prancing, skeleton feet
planted In noisome. fostering swamps,
aud stretching out horned clawing
hands that seemed to take root as one
looked and threw out other roots Of
horror like a dream.--Richard lie Gal
lienne. In Harper's Magazine

HOW TO TREAT CONCLUSIONS
Hot Bath the First Thing TO Be Ad-
ministered to Child Who Suffers
From That Complaint.

When a baby has commissions, IL gen.
orally means one of two things; either
Ii is suffering from toxaemia, or pois-
oning, which is usually the result OF
errors in the diet, or else there is some
serious trouble with the nervous Sys-
TEN. II feeding is at the bottom OF the
trouble find out the error and correct
II, ard the attacks will cease. when
there is organic trouble present, the
case is more serious The attack may
be stopped, but 1t is likely to recur II
the underlying cause persists. Such
are the commissions caused by mcnin-
gifts, or acute Inflammation OF the
brain coverings, and by hydrocephaluS,
or water pressing on the brain.
II is unnecessary 10 describe the
symptoms, for the most inexperienced
person knows when baby is having
a CONFUSION. In older people ten
dency to commissions indicates an un.
stable nervous system. and that is
probably true of infants who have con
WILSON'S in consequence Of dietary er-
rorS that would leave stronger chill
dren unaffected. Children who have
commissions in their first year often
suffer from night terrors, ties, and 9TH
er signs of nervous instability later in
life. Sometimes commissions are the
first signs of an epilepsy that is to
appear in after years.
The first thing TO do when Il baby
falls into CONFUSION is to get il
into a warm bath as quickly as pos
sihle. That is done to relieve blood
tension and equali1e the circulation,
and TO this end it is wei to give cold
applications to the head at the same
time.
Do not hesitate to give the hot bath,
Sometimes inexperienced people who
dread to make mistake insist on
waiting until the doctor comes. But
the hot bath for a baby in commissions
can never be a mistake. The doctor
should be called without delay, be-
cause in severe cases the bath must
he followed by Sedutive and reliev-
ing treatment that he only will know
how to employ There Is one import
ant "don't' to remember-don't put
anything into the child'S mouth-either
food, medicine or stimulant--while
you are waiting for the DOCTOR
