The winter months call for special attention to babies. They must be clothed properly for the changes in the weather. They should not necessarily be confined in the home during the winter season, but should be taken outdoors when the weather is fair and mild. It is not ad/isable to take them outdoors during severe cold or inclement weather. The home should be kept warm ar.d well ventilated. This applies particularly to the baby's bedroom. It is wrong to keep the infant in a crib close to the fireplace or in an overheated room. Inasmuch as pneumonia is often a complication of the infectious diseases common in childhood, parents should make every effbrt to prevent these diseases by avoiding contact with other sick children and those known to have coughs and colds. The baby's food should be given just as careful supervision as during the summer. Breast-fed babies have a higher resisting power than bottle-fed babies. Over the age of one year the food should be simple, wholesome, digestible and well prepared. If the baby has a cough < do not rely on home remedies. While they may do well temporarily, it is hotter to consult your family physician. Patent medicines should not be relied upon, more especially in ti case of babies, because they give false sense of security, and in t! meanwhile the disease may become progressing worse, possibly too late for intelligent medical treatment. Knowing that pneumonia is c rnoii among babies during the winter months, parents should make every effort to avoid illness among their children. New Bread-Crumb Recipes, I found a little crust of bread that must not go to waste, So, by a famous recipe, I seasoned it to taste. I used six eggs, a pint of cream, some citron and some spice, Two lemons, dates and raisins, and brimming cup of rice. It took a lot of things, I know (That's how the cook-book read) And no one cared for it--but, oh! I saved that crust of bread! Stale bread and bread-crumbs will accumulate no matter how careful the housewife may be, so new ways cf using this valuable food are always welcome. The cutting from the bread board, bits of toast, the stale ends of loaves can all be used and can be made a part of or the foundation of many toothsome additions to the family diet. The bread should be dried, then run through the meat grinder, or can be rolled into crumbs by means of the rolling-pin. Griddle-cakes No. 1 require three eupfuls of milk, one egg, one and one-half eupfuls of dried breod-crumbs, three level teaspoonfuls of baking powder, enough flour to make batter of the right consistency and salt to taste. Bake on a hot griddle. Griddle-cakes No. 2 are made with bread which is stale enough to be broken into crumbs, but is neither dried or rolled. Crumb into a bowl enough dry bread to make one quart and cover completely with sour milk. Cover the bowl and stand away until morning. When ready to use, beat thoroughly, add two eggs, one level teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda dissolved in a very little hot water, and sufficient flour to make a batter. Add salt to taste and bake on a hot griddle. Corn fritters partially thickened with bread-crumbs have a flavor which is far superior to fritters made entirely with flour.

It will help you to have more "best" gowns than usual. Add to your wardrobe a soft black satin tlip. You can use it as a foundation for so many different dresses--a black net, gorgette, or silk voile--and in this way reduce the cost of each. Let me caution you, however, not to make it in the old-fashioned way--seamed and tight-ftting. Nowadays the slip must follow straight lines. Make it in chemise style, just like you have been making your straight-hanging chemise dresses, only wider at the >m. You can bring it into the figure little by having a dart at the shoul-:r or dart plaits under the arms. I think you will like it best if you make it with a camisole top--that is, a straight-around top--and have straps the shoulders.

For an instant, I did not think of the will in my pocket though I had promised to protect it. Instinctively I threw back the heavy, waterproof robe, and jumped over the wheel into the mud of the road. I hitched the horse to the bridge railing and halted to listen again; and after a fe onds I heard the cry repeated, plainly now. The road on which I stood a main thoroughfare. Bej home of my patient, it led only to small village whose inhabitants were unlikely to be abroad on such a night as this. Even if they were on the road, it was difficult to imagine what could have taken any man or woman down the wooded hollow on such a night. These considerations returned i me as I hitched the horse; and, at le same time, I remembered my pocket. The cry was repeated. I reassured myself. No one had an interest ir destroying this will save James Norman, the young man I had left in the house back along the road. No robber would be abroad on such a night as this; or, if he was, he would scarcely choose such an unfrequented road; nor would a robber lurk in the woods and groan when he might as eas halt a passenger in the road itself. I laughed grimly at my own easiness, and when the low cry ca again--it seemed, perhaps, fifty yards away, down wind--I turned back- to the buggy and took one of the side lamps and lighted it in the shelter of my coat. The lamps had refused to burn, so fierce was the wind, while in their brackets beside the carriage, and I had let them go, trusting to the isolation of the road on which I traveled to preserve me from accident.

He wrote to me, inviting me to come to the prison to see a patient of his --a life convict sentenced six months ago for some crime in the city, who showed peculiar effects of degeneracy over a period of many years. That is beside the point, however. I accepted his invitation; and he met me in the [rison office and conducted me to his hospital, and left me with the vhile he himself answered a sud-, call from the workshops where a . risoner had injured himself on the machines. When Doctor Newell had gone, I turned to the man on the bed--he was not so very ill, but Doctor "Newell was endeavoring to correct his condition by complete rest--and began to question him and seek his confidence. 1 saw curiosity creep into his eyes; and of a sudden he asked me sharply: "Are you not Doctor "Yes." I said. "I am Doctor Price. Have I known you?" "I am James Norman," said the man. For a moment the name suggested nothing to me. I had not thought of James Norman or of the old woman, my patient, for a dozen years or more. I cast back through the years to find some memory of the name; and the man prompted me by naming the woman who had been in my care. Then I remembered him.

One sumnu r night when we were sitting round the porcli light, says a writer in Country Life, one of us noticed a teat that was ma>ing frantic efforts to climb the three steps that lead to the walk, lie finally reached ihe verandah floor and began flipping at tie bugs that had fallen into the circle of light that the lamp Some of us began catching beetles and dropping them near his nose, and he soon appeared to accept us as his natural providers. He was back the next night and, in fact, every night while the toad season lasted; and he has continued to visit us in the same manner every summer. It is evidently the memory of a well-set table that brings him back each year. There are lertoin bugs, such as potato beetjes arid squash bugs, that the toad will not touch. He likes lightning bugs only when he is very hungry, but he is not often too full to spear a luckless June bug that comes within reach or' his tongue. Now and then a big clinching beetle clinches it strong mandibles on the toad's lip or foreleg and clings there, much to his inconvenience, but apparently not to his great suffering. One night some one offered him one of the big green larvae that feed on grape leaves. The worm was the size of a man's finger, but the toad undertook to swallow it. He would have succeeded had he taken the grub headfirst; but, since he started with the tail, the worm could dig its hooked feet into the floor and crawl out the toad's mouth. At the end of five minutes the grub finally crawled free, though it died from the coating of toad digester that it had encountered. It is fun for the youngsters to feed katydids to the toad; he has such a time swallowing all the legs and antennae. He stuffs them into his mouth with his paws, very much as a little boy crams in more cake than his mouth will comfortably hold. Moreover, the toad is troubled by the insect's kicking after it is down; and sometimes a jarfly will sing quite a swan song after it is engulfed. At such times the toad pats his stomach with his forefeet, or lies flat on the floor and stretches himself as far as If You Forget.
