Baby's Pillow. One summer day on lilting my baby from his cradle after a protracted nap I found his little head wet with profuse per- spiration, moreover his small pillow feathers, cf coure wa* soaked through, says a mother in an exchange. This led to an investigation, for I felt that such heat boded ill to the sensitive brsin. Looking into the matter I discovered the following advice given by an emineut physician, long lines deceased. He wrote : "The proxi mate, if not ths original, cause of great morality. among the American babies is some malady of the brain. When we sup- pose death to result from dyrenteiy or cholera mtsntum the immediate -u is frequently affection of the brain superven- ing upon bowel disease. The heads of American babies are, for the most part, little furnacss. What mischief must then result from keeping tjjem buried hour after hour in feather pillows ! It makes m* shiver to think of the deaths among theee precious little ones, where I doubt not that cool straw piUi.-ws would have saved them. Do not fail to keep their heads cool while sleeping." The material which I then deemed best for baby's pillow far straw seemed rather hard was de*r's nair. One woman employed hair >-nbiags, wuicn makes a soft cushion. Paper clipped fine is recommended, a* well * pine needles. There are other ways, however, of injuring baby's brain sh, hew much they most work r* they arrive t maturity ! It is claimed that the brain i* more heavily taxed the first fir* years of existence than during the remainder of life. One baby who very nearly succumbed to brain disease was taaght the catechism ere his second year. It sounded cunning to hear him lisp, "Absoum," in reply to who was the fathsr oftbe fruitful, or "Ut's ifs," when arced who wa* turned into a pillar of alt. Of cours* the family physician soon stopped this needless cramming, giving imperative order* that nothing should be taught the child. Teach the Girls to Cook- Many a mother who wishes her daughter* might become proficient in the art of cool- ing, is not willing to take the tim* and trouble to teach them.

In the air around are floating the germ* of various diseases. consumption, pneumonia, malaria, diphtheria, thrush, lonsihus, and the like. If th month U healthy and it* secretions normal, these disease germ* are destroyed there, and thus they are prevented from entering the deep- er tissues of the body. But swollen, sod. den gums, decaying teeth, tartar, and mor- bid catarrhal discharges, all form so many centres for germ culture and avenues for the entrance of morbid matter into th tissues. The eularged scrofulous gland* of so many children and youth, resulting in unsightly scars and disfigurement, are usually caused by tuberculous germs which enter the lymphatic glands of the neck from enlarged tonsils, decayed teeth, or suppu- rating ears. In thrush, the baby's mouth is filled i'ri tiny plants resembling yesst ferment. Ihe borax wash displaces, cleanses, and des- troys these mirnte plants, and thus cures Ihe disease. Cavities, even in the first teeth, should be filled as soou a* discovered. Toothbrush and powder should be used freely and frequently, and the n juth rins- ed out with pure water. Enlarged tonsils should be treated or removed. Abscesses of ths ear snoold be treated by cleanliness and disinfection, so s* to heal them as soon ss possible. Consulting the dentist early may save a ast of t**tb, the glands of ths nsck, and even life itself ; for when tuber- cular germs have once gained entrance into the body, there is scarcely a limit to their devastation. Dont Be Constantly Wetting 1 Your Hair. There i* a point worthy of remembrance about the hair ' writes Dr. Andrew Wilson), and that is, the caution which should be given against frequent wetting of the head. Many a man has induced baldness in this way. People will wet the head, for instance in taking their morning bath, under the idea, that thi* process is good for the hair. Th reverse is th* ess*, it is not a natural thing for ths hair to be kept m a perenni- ally damp state; and it is impossible that the hair can be thoroughly dried al'.er the bath. Let us also bear in mitd that Nature provide* for the skin, and for ths hair also, a kind of natural promade iu the shape of sn oily secretion, which is made by certain little glands. Many of the** glands open on th* surface of th* skin, but others open into the hair-sacs, and the office of the natural oil these gland* manu- I facture is to keep the skin supple, and doubtless also to supply nourishment, or at j least an oily secretion to the hair. An old soldier once said, "Wherever there is hair tlier* is dirt." This is, in the main, very j true. So that while we may object to a ! conaiani wetting of tho head, that is no reason wny we *b ould neglect to wash th* hair say, once a fortnight or every ten day*. A good plan i* to use the yolk of an egg, which is to be rabbe-i well into the scalp, and some pur* soap and tepid water used to cleans* the yolk away, finish- ing up with cold water. I think borax ana amrronia lotions, often used lo wash ill* hair, act somewhat harshly, and tend to produce gr*yn*ss. There is really n<> need lo use anything save soap and water, and a superfatted soap I* to be preferred of coon*. Look Out for the Little Wounds. A man should always be careiul about I those little insignificant wounds, A great many lives are lost every year on thi* account. A small cut in th* hand, mad* by a rusty nail, may cost a life. Blood-pois- oning may set ir. A man may be driv- ing tacks, and drive one accidentally into his band. It is such a trivial cui that anything is thought good enough to stop the bleeding.

Apple Diet for the Skin . A ripe, raw apple is on* of the easiest food* for the stomach to deal with, the whole process of digestion only consuming eighty-five minutes.

Apples are not as satisfying as potatoes, because of their delicate *l*menls, but eaten with meat in place of tubers they are a golden food.

If you want lo be strong, says Sandow, do not eat too much. Nothing shortens life and minimise* power as the almost univer- sal habit of having too much food. The only rale as to how mucn food should be taken is that the system should be kept free from hunger until the usual time for the next meal. When the stomach is empty take nothing but distilled water. Another point is, never try to economise in sleep. Sandow says that he sleep* bine hour*, and often more.

The police believe that soms of these threats are genuine, bat they are sent in aucb numbers that even th* augmented resoart-es of tns secret service are utterly unable to deal with them. It is a shrewd move on the part of the wretches who arc really plotting murder and outrage. If a hint of their actual plans by aay accident reaches the police, they are unahle to give it any more attention than if it were one of the mass of ;alss clues which they receive.

Prof. Bois Keymond, of Berlin, the cele- brated physiologist, ha* been making ex- peri men i s as to t lie effect of modern < ierman rifle bullets on the human body, with sur- prising results. He says . "The bullet of the old style rifle bored only a comparative- ly small hole through the portions of the body through which it passed, whereas the new bullet has an astonishing explosive effect. If, for instance, the ball passes through the head of the corpse, the skull is burst asunder in all directions, and very litt'.e of the head remain*." The professor explains by saying that the speed of the bullet is so great that when it meets an obstacle it dashex it to pieces, exactly the same as drops of hardened glass burst asun dsrwhen the points are broken off.
