HEALTH. .â€" How to Keep the Baby Well- Thc infzint's stomach does not readily ac- commodate itself to changes in the diet, and regularity in quantity quality, and tempera- ture is one of the cardinal rules in feeding : babies. Not until the child is nearly a year old, should it be allowed to make. digestive ; experiments upon table food, and very little, if any, meat should be given to very young children. At this time it may be weaned, if ; at the breast, and given seine light form of nourishment, such as broth, grucl, egg and Carnrick’s food. Not. until it has all its ; teeth, or when it is two veais of age, should i it be allowed to come to the table or. par. take of diet prepared for its elders. Prior to four months of age, it has very little power é for digesting starchy foods, and consequent- : ly, food of this kind is very apt l to cause diarrhma ; so that ths rule 3 it), when this occurs, to abstain from all kinds of starch until the child is at least four months old. This does not anply to malted milk, which only contains milk-sugar, nor to Uarnrick's food, in which the carbohydrates are all changed into dcxtrin and soluble starch, which does not irritate, and is not- readily fermentable. In addition to feeding, the child should have water to drink between meals. The water should be boiled and kept free from contamination of all kinds. \thrc there is a tendency to bowel disorder, a little gum arabie, rice, or barley may be boiled with the water, which should afterwards he care- fully strained. This is usually well borne, and may be given freely. A word should be said with regard to ‘ keeping the bottles absolutely clean. After i each feeding, the remnant of the milk in the bottle should be discarded, and the bottle immediately washed in hot water, with a pinch of bicarbonate of sodium, or thh ashes, but not with shot, which has caused lead poisoning in infants. Several bottles should be in use at. one time so that one may be always clean. The nipple should be of black or pure rubber,and not of the white or vulcanized rubber. It should fit over the top of the bottle, and all kinds of nursing bottles with tubes should be rejected. A little coarse salt will assist in cleansing the rubber when it becomes coated, and the nin‘ ples should be kept in clean water, contain- ing a pinch of soda, in the intervals of ulsmg them. Tooth Powders and Tooth Washes. Powders and washes for the teeth should be used with great care. Regarding them, especially, the well worn but. pertinent cau- tion to beware of strolling vendors applies with the deepest import. Every one has a desire for white and beautiful teeth, and the itinerant who boasts loudly of the power of “ whiten the blackcst his preparations to p: teeth to look like ivory in one minute catches the popular ear and sympathy on the spot. There is. nothing remarkable in the fact that what he claims can be demonstrat- cd. Any chemist or apothecary can concoct a preparation which u ill do all thisâ€"and more. If used but a short time it will des- troy the enamel, and with it, of course, the entire set. of teeth ; since the phenomenal re- sult is and can be reached only by the (les- truetion of a small portion of the outer sur- face of the enamel. The result is the same whether the agent be wash or powder, since the latter simply contains the chemicals of the former in an undissolvcd form. All strong acids or alkalies should be avoided in the mouth, and if there is a. doubt as to the composition of any preparation in this re- spect, let it be tested with a bit of litmus paper. This paper can be obtained at any drug store, and is in two colorsâ€"blue and red. The blue, if dampened with an acid solution, will turn red, and the rapidity and intensity of the change will indicate the acidity of the solution. The red indicates alkali by changing to blue, in the same manner. Tooth powders, as a rule, should be solu- ble and slightly antacid. There is a. class of insoluble powders which are of the most dangerous nature, of which powdered char- coal is a notable example. These consist of fine sharp particles, which being pressed by the brush between the teeth and gums or lodging between thcsteeth, may cause the most serious results, even to the. destruction of the gums or the cement. The use of the brush in connection with powders, washes or other treatment of the teeth should be gentle. Bleeding of the gums is always a danger sig- nal. It shows that the skin has been broken, inviting the absorption into the system of any poisonous or foreign matters which may be present in the mouth. If the gums are very tender a soft brush should be used, and ' used very gently. till they have hardened sufficiently to withstand more vigorous , treatment. Even then, the liability will be to lll'l‘ on the side of harshnessâ€"II: (1M: and l Ilomc. i Catarrh. There are several distinct forms of cat- arrh, which may be classed undcr two - gcncral heads, the dry or nondischarging, ! and the mucous or flowing catarrh, of which . the latter is by far the more prevalent. l A cold in the head, strictly speaking, is a l catal't‘h, and if suffered to run its com-sci without interruption, may assume all the] worst features of this troublesome disease, l and finally become so thoroughly seated as l to occasion no little difliculty in its dislodg- ment. of the nasal apertures, inllaming it and cans ing a continuous watery flow, thence cx-i tending downward to the air passages lcad~ l ing to the chest. causing constant irritation, ' and finally settles upon the lungs with of deadly grip.

A slight injury in the vicinity of any of the glands of the body through which ACTION OF LIGHTNING. now “13 said to Operate on the Human Organism. A Vienna paper states that Prof. Noth- germs are given opportunity for entrance, is s nagel, in one of his clinical lectures, exhib- often followed by enlargement of "he glands. l An injury to the face, for instance, will cause ' the glands of the neck and jaw to swell. Sometimes from inflamed tonsils, genus find access, and are carried by the lymphatics along to some point where they obstruct the blood vessels and form a tiny clot which gives the germs a chance to feed and grow ; upon dead blood, and in this way develop a l boil. Sometimes germs of consumption are ; similarly taken to the lungs. Enlarged l lymphatic glands about the neck or else- where should receive attcnzion, because they ‘ may lead to something else. They often take on tuberculosis degeneration, and after a while reach the lungs. It is best to have the glands removed by surgery while the en- largement is still slight. Otherwise gland below gland may be found affected, and the operation come to be quite a seri- ous one. It is very rare that they can - be cured by any remedy. A simple enlarge~ i ment of the glands can sometimes be driven away by arsenic, but may develop a disorder worse than the enlarged glands. How to be a Good Shot. A boy, if he amounts to anything, wants to do well at whatever he goes into. Most boys want to do more than that, they want to be first, but are not always willing to work for it. There is nothing that- most boys are more anxious to do well than to handle a gun. Now, if some of our boys are anxious to be among the best shots in the country, there is no better way than to find out how some men have become good shots and to follow their advice to the letter. Mr Zim- merman, one of the greatest modern riflcmen, a man whose breast is covered with medals won in two continents, was talking with a reporter the other day and said many things that will be helpful to beginners : “ The first thing for a. man to learn when he begins rifle slicoting is caution. Next he must learn how to stand. This is one of the most. important things connected With the art. I always stand squarely on my legs. I brace myself with my feet about twenty inches apart. I stand as I would if I ex- pected a man was going to run into me and try and throw me to the ground. I do not face the target, but stand so that my left side is nearest to the bull’s eye. \Vhen I take aim I turn my body above the waist. That is all. “ After having got a good style in stand- ing the beginner must next learn how to hold the rifle. “ Every man has his own way of holding i the rifle when he takes aim. Somemen sup- port the barrcl almost at arm’s length. Others hunch their backs up and screw themselves into a double knot. I found early in my practice that Icould do the best work by keeping myself close together. I keep my right arm as close to the body as possible, elevating the elbow as little as I can, and I support the barrel with my right hand, guiding the barrel with the forefinger. In some galleries the beginners are taught to support the barrel with the thumb and forefinger. This is very nice for indoor work, butwhen a man isintheopen air and faces a stiff wind he will find that he needs more snpportthan that. Never prac- tice in the gallery what you do not intend to follow out of doors. That is a rule that you will do well to cut out and paste in your hat. “ After you have taken aim, pull the trig- ger. Don’t give it a jerk. Don’t think that you have a twenty pound weight to move and put all your musclcinto the move- ment. Make a steady, continuous pres- sure, no hardcr at the beginning than at the end. After a while you will find that you can throw your rifle directly in range with- out a consciouseflbrt and can shoot for licurs together without getting tired. \Vhen you have reached this point shooting becomes a pleasure. ” Now as to the way to shoot. You go into a shooting gallery and you can tell at a glance who among the men who are there are experienced shots. You will see a man pick his gun up carelessly and load it and cock it and point it at some other man, to try the sight and show his own idiocy. You may put it down as a fact that that man doesn’t know the first thing about shooting. An old shot is caeful. He knows that it is the ‘ unloaded’ gun that always kills some one. He never point; an empty rifle even at a “nun. Thc muzzle of his gun never points at any one. He nCVer loads until he faces the target. He never aims his gun at anything but the bull’s~eye. “At the beginnmg don’t try to do too much. lose your nerve. Besides that, looking at the target over the sights will injure your eyes if you try to do more work than you , are able to get through with comfortably. 1 would not advise a man to shoot over five " scores. (fifty shots) two or more times a week. That is enough for the ordinary man. “ In early practice a rifle of .22 caliber is heavy enough. Later on a man can take up the .38 Ballard or “'iuchcster. As to sights, the poop and globe is the easiest for long range, say 200 yards. \Vith that sight the marksman has only the bull's eye and the pin head in the globe to watch. After shooting, the rifle should be care- fully cleaned, first with a wet piece of can- comcs out as clean as when it went into the barrel. Then an oiled rag should be used both inside the barrel and around the lock. Too much oil, however, should not be used. _§ The Ring in his Boot.

BOLlB. “oils are caused by germs. but it is not fully dctcruiiuel just how the germs find i I‘ctaluna. cu to‘ Early last week all was going xmcrrily at a very interesting \vcddingin the town until the bridegroom was called upon to produce the wedding ling. In vain he felt in his trouscis pocket for the missing I trifle. Nothing could be found except a ' hole through which the ring had evidently fallen into the high boot which is affected ,by young men of that county. What was a he to do? “ Take your boot off." said the parson. The suspense and silence wvrc painful. The organist. at the priest's bidding, struck up a “ voluntary." The youngnzan, sitting on the altar rails, removed his boot, the ring it as found «also a hole in the stocking, which led the Mir» thy divine to remirk : “ Young man, it is l time you were married." ited to his hearers a young woman, aged '20, Josepha Schlessler, who had been re- ccirtly struck by lightning in Styria, ‘and had come to Vienna for treatment in Prof. Xothnagel's hospital. The patient suffered from a. derangement, of the nervous system. To his remarks on the case the lecturer added a discourse on the effects of light- ning, substantially as follows: Formerly it was known merely that the burns occa- sioned by lightning had a zigzag figure, and that the further consequences might be paralysis or death. During the last ten years the lecturer had made comprehensive ex- periments upon rabbits, with the electric spark of a huge Leydcn jar, and had thrown a new light upon the question. The action of lightning upon the biain, the spinal col- umn and the peripheric nerves is shown by the loss of consciousness, the disturbance of the intellect and the extended phc nomcna of lameness, the latter of which have a. tendency to disappear. On the other hand, there are intense nervous phenomena, which strongly resemble those produced by railway accidentsa‘nd other concussions, and which dominate the patient for a long time. Disturbances of sightaud speech often occur, and may remain for life or may in part dis- appear. In other eases thcremay be observ- ed in the person struck a childish frame of mind, which may incline either to reckless inerriment or tosadness and melancholy. Ex- perience proves that lightining produces its chief effects only at the. points of its entrance and exist. Thus, a flash which entered a school‘room injured only the first and last child on the form, thosebetween escaping ini- hurt. Prof. Nothnagel pointed out that in the treatment of lameness and other con- stitutional p ~rturbations due to lightning, metallothera‘py is most cllicient,alarge horse- shoe magnet being applied alternately to the head, trunk and the limbs. This process led to better results than the electric treatment recently adopted. In case of a quite recent stroke, the clothing should be unfastcned, the patient laid with the headhigh, quictncssand fresh air should be secured, and, if conscious- ness does not return, the head should be ex- posed to a stream of cold water. ._.-__.__‘_â€"â€"â€"â€"- Population of the United Sm. ¢ The census just completed shows ‘fliitcd States to posess a population 0 . $0.5l0, distributed among the different States as follows, the population in 1380 being given for purposes of comparison : which seemed anxious to attract their atten. tinn.

The old hunter too, was taken away, and Fridolin'was left al- most without friends. An uncle, livin r in a. distant city, far from the beautiful flake, took the orphan to his home ; but Fridolin was not happy here, for he pined for the old, free life in the forest and for his home in the castle. After several years, the uncle took Fridolin for a visit to his old home. The delighted boy sought again the old tower, and as he looked once more over the water, he was sure that he saw the little pearl boat, and in it the little girl, whom he had called Fairy. Running to the shore, he cried: “ Fairy, Fairy, conic quickly ; for I have but a short time to stay. My uncle will soon come for me, and then I must go away again.” In a moment the boat had touched the sandy shore, the little girl sprang out, and in a. language which Fridolin could pcr- fectly understand, said : “ \Vhen the cruel wind carried away the silver veil, which served as a guide to my boat, and I was lost on your shore, you heeded my cry for help, and cared for me until the black Stork found the veil, and I was able to return to my home and friends. I have now come to take you to my father’s beautiful castle on the Floating Island, where you will be happy, and all troubles will be fOrgottcn.” The silver veil was again spread over the bow of the boat, and the vessel glided away, carrying the orphan to a land of flowers and musw. The Floating Island. _BY I'AYSI E. A long time ago, when dense, wild forests stood where we now find busy cities, there lived, as a steward, in an old, dilapidated hunting castle. an old man with his wife-and son, little Fridolin. The father of the Count to whom the castle belonged had been very fond of the chase, and every autumn he spent several weeks limiting deer and other wild game ; but. the present Count did not enjoy such sport, and left the castle entirely to the care of the steward and an old hun- CCI‘. These peoplclived a very quiet, lonely life, for the nearest village was many miles away and few visitors ever found their way to the castle. The old hunter was very fond of Fridolin, and often took him on long ex- cursions throuin the forest, where he taught him much about the habits and haunts of the wild animals. Then, too, the hunter could tell such wonderful stories and legends and he was always ready to entertain his friend in this way. But Fridolin liked most to liear about the Floating Island. On bright. summer days,” said thehuntcr, “ a small, beautiful island sometimes up pears, and glides over our lake with the grace of a swan. And often the fishers, when out in their little boats, hear the chime of silvery bells and the sound of sweet music, which must come from the island, and yet it never approaches near enough to be distinctly seen ; but it is said that on it are beautiful gardens, blooming trees and happy people, who spend their time in constant enjoyment.” The thought of this island was seldom ab- sent from Fridolin’s mind, and he spent _____.__.â€"â€"-â€"â€"- The Trappists at Oka. Que. An interesting account is given by a cor- respondent of the Montreal ll’itnem 0sz visit to the Trappist monks at Oka. Thcsc monks were driven out of France by the l“(.'l'f'yllf.\\r's of 1882. Coming to Canada, they received a welcome together with a grant of J. thousand acres of land from the gentlemen of the Seminary of‘ St. Sulpicc Though they brought little with them they now have a valuable property. Upon the buildings alone they have spent fifty thousand dollars. The 'l‘rappists are great workers. They do nothing but farm and pray. They have to many hours on the shore of the lake, vainly hoping togain a view of this image of beauty. “'hen not on the shore, Fridolin could almost always be found on the balcony of the tower, where he had it wide view of both the forest and the water. As- he sat here one warm July day, allowing his gaze to wander over the lake, he saw in the dis- tance what, at first sight, seemed to be a fisher’s boat ; but as the object came nearer, it glittcred and shone as ifmade of gold and jewels. Fridolin hastily left the tower and ran to the shore, and having untied his boat was soon rowing with all speed toward the tiny cmn’ Which rocked so gexltly m the lthcy must not talk to butsidcrs, and to their “invest and was constantly commg mime“ Tbrethrcn they must uttcrnot one word bc- Bnt no one was to be seen in the strange lyond what is positively necessary. will" and Wm?" but a few S.tcps “way Ill-“1' 5 food is vegetables and soul) : thcirdwds are rihn rose to his feet to gain a better view. hoards, and “mir night, whoa are the he saw lying fast asleep in a boat. made of .Clothcs thcy we,“ during the an)“ Thc mother-of-pcarl and bordered \vith costly regular mmihc of the 'pmppists is thusgivem i gemsv 9' “me girl “'iu‘ lung, Knllle" hair “"d l “The monks rise at 3 a.
