HINTS FOR YoyNG MOTHERS. THE
three requisites for babies are plenty of
sleep, plenty of food, plenty OF flannel.
The saying that man is bundle OF
habits is us true of babies as it Is OF
grown children. If an infant is accus
toned from its birth to sleep from
clock at night till daylight, the habit OF
early sleep will be formed, and the
mother may have all her evenings to her
self. If the baby sleeps all night, long
morning nap may naiuyally come about
dinner time, after which the child should
be kept awake till six ocock. Perse
vcrance in THE routine will soon result
in securing quiet evenings for both child
and mother. Seine mothers have long
soasen every morning and every night in
getting the baby to sleep. They rock
them and sing them till Mopheus nfold.
them. With most children this is on
tireIy unnecessary. An infant can be
accustomed, by few days training. to
go to sleep itself for a morning mp as
we'll as for the longer rest at night A
mother has duties to herself as well as to
her offspring. While she should exer-
else constant care in securing its utmost
physical comfort, she should secure rest
and recreation for herself In no other
way can she can keep fresh in feeling aud
broyant in spirit. Nothing is so wearing
as the unceasing tending of fretiul
baby. Every means should be employed
to aid the child in taking care Of itself
and giving as little trouble as possible
1t may learn in babyhood 10 amuse it,
self with toys or by watching movements
going on around it. Fashion as well as
good sense requires infants dresses to he
made with long sleeves and high in tho
neck. Fashion requires children Of all
ayes to be warmly clad. Flannel should
incasc the whole body, with tho exception
Of the head and hands. The fruitful
cause of collie in infants is the nnkedness
Of their necks and arms. Regularity
of feeding is as important as the otner
requisites. Babies cry as often from
being overfed too frequently as from
hunger let the mother obey the die


tatcs Of common senses in this matter and
not force food into baby's stomach for
every little complaint it makes. Chill,
dren Of three or four years old need much
more sleep than they usually have. For
irritable and nervous children sleep is u
specific, and it can be secured to them
only by the force Of habit. Many light
forms Of disease may be cured by keeping
the child in a uniform temperament and
in quiet Let the young mother who
reads this article experiment upon these
few suggestions, and VIC arc sure they
will have many an hour in the nursery
for reading and thought.

CLEAN STREETS are good for comfort and
for health. There is much complaint amogst
the ladies. You know the ladies dress fine
and wear dresses that sweep the streets, and
the men have to pay for them. 1t may be
said that the fair ones should not wear such
long dresses but what help is there! They
will wear them, and the men in self-defence
should see that they should not be injured

city has the whole matter under its own con-
troll we are sure it is only necessary to notice
the complaint to secure the needed attention

A SENSATION. Newark has had a real, live
sensation, and all causes by band of four tray
cling musicians, who came from New Castle to
that place, yesterday morning. The fact OF a
house being broken open and these people being
at New Castle at the same time, aroused susp-
cions that they were connected with the affair.
The party were recognized at Newark, and the
New Castle burglary story was put ahoat. which
was sufficient to bring out the whole population
into the street. and for a time matters were of a
very unpleasant nature for the music men. They
were warned to leave which they did, and hastily,

that three other bills had been treated in

Hyacinths all W;nter.-The hyacinth
is one of the most beautiful and fragrant
of the bulbous flowers, and pat ticularly
desirable for house culture. Even half
a-dozen grown in pots and towering
during the winter, will afford more
pleasure to the "loved ones at home"
than the same amount of money spent
in any other way. With how much
pleasurable anxiety they watch the
shooting forth of the bright leaves, the
rising of the stately column; while the
opening of the first bud makes joyful
thanksgiving of the most dreary win
ter's day. A very small pot will answer
for the hyacinth. Some prefer to plant
three or four in large pot, and this
will make a very pretty ornament.
Cover only the lower half of the bulbs
with soil, press them down until they
are nearly covered, then water until the
soil is moistened thoroughly, and set
the pots in cool, dark cellar. The
roots will there form, with but little
growth of top. Here they may remain
for several weeks, and pot or two at
time can be taken into warm, light
room, for Towering, week or ten days
apart, and a succession OF tiowers OBJ
tanned during most of the winter.
