It you wish your baby to be healthy. keep the nursery bottles sweet and clean by washing them after each meal. Rinse with clear water. then fill them halt-full of warm water. put in alittle powdered borax and shake well. This water may be allowed to stand in them an hour or two. and when poured out they will be ready for use. The rubber tubes and nipples should be washed and kept in here: water until needed again. Your restless baby will drop to sleep more easily after a tepid bath. Put a teaSpoonful of powdered borax in two quarts of soft water. pour into the wash bowl and gently sponge him all over. Strong soap is injurious, and causes much suffering when used on a baby’s tender skin. It is seldom ne- cessary to use soap of any kind. for borax cleanses the skin and prevents cutaneous diseases.

It is a wat- er of wonderful purity. which it holds, too; and some time. and not. in the very distant future. either, the people who live in the large cities to the west and south will come to this lake to get the water for their homes. It will not be so remarkable an engineering feat to pipe the water of this lake, pure and Sparkling and fresh. from its cold depths to these cities. which are now struggling with the question of their water supply and meeting all sorts of difficulties in their efforts to get wat- er tit to drink. At the very best the temperature varies through the winter and summer not more than six degrees Winter and summer this great lake never changes to any appreciable extent. so that if you dip your finger tips in the blue surface on a day in July. or if you test it some day in early winter. when you have been out on some belated ice-mailed fishing smack, or when you have gone out to watch the! fishermen spearing their supplies through the thick ice in mid-January. you will find but a trifling difference in the tem- perature. Away down at the bottom too. there is but little variation in the temperature. for it stands at near- ly 40 degrees Fahrenheit at. the bot- tom. and varies from 40 to 46 degrees winter and summer at the surface. The other lakes, though cold, are not in this respect like Su_per1o.r. The whole bottom of. the lake is believed to be a strong rock basin, though it would seem that there must be great Springs at the bottom to help keep up the enormous volume of water. From the north there is a large amount. of water pouring into rushing. narrow-banked Nipigon, and other streams furnishing no small part of the supply. These streams in a large measure make 'up for the loss on the surface. One of the old lake cap- tains, a bronzed, kindly faced man, who had been for thirt -five years on the lakes and had fee (1 death many a time in the frightful storms which sometimes sweep across these beauti- ful bodies of water. told me as we were passing along near the north east of. Superior, with the headlands and inlets and glossy green bluffs of that most picturesque shore in full view, that the theory that the lake is slowly going down in size was true. He main- tained that he coutd tell from certain landmarks along the shore, with which he is as familiar as he would be with the streets of his old Scottish birth- place that the lake was slowlyâ€"very slowlyâ€"but surely receding. However it will be some centuries yet before there will be any appreciable less- ening of the great lake so that we need not be concerned. ‘ Strange as it may seem. the lake has tides, tooâ€"well defined tides, discov- eed rin 1860.

Ind-u. a the sum vac union and. Wounded. This is the story at a navul battle. notable. not bocauae it was one of the most desperate in modern warfumbut because it revealed. as in a flash of white light, the kindred ties that bind the two mighty nations of Anglo-Sax- on blood. On June 24. 1859, twenty“ one ships of war. the allied fleets of England and France. rode at anchor in the Gulf of Pe-ohi-li. ofi'the mouth of the Pei-ho River. They had come bearing the newly appointed minik ters to China who were to ratify the treaties negotiated in the preceding year. According to agreement. they were to proceed up the Pei-ho River to Tientsin, where the diplomats were to receive safe escort to the imperial court at Pekin. Upon their arrival, however, they found that the Chinese had blocked the fairway with booms and the sunken hulls of fat old junks and fortified the shores with seven formidable forts. so that a Captain’s a boat ashore 'a'nd demanded the in- stant removal of the obstructions. A gigantic coolie, the officer in command. grovelled and expostulated, but. the fairway was not. cleared. gig could not have passed in safety. Admiral Hope of the British fleet sent. For such offences England knows only one remedy. “I will give you until June 25, to open the river.” wrote Admiral Hope. “If the work is not donerby that time I shall blow up your forts.” A bar five miles wide filled the river mouth like the stopper of a bottle. preventing the passage of the larger vessels. On June 24 Admiral Hoyo and the French Commodore marshaled thirteen of their smaller gunboats in line of battle and steamed boldly up the river. While they were preparing to make a demonstration. Capt. Jo- siah Tattnall, flying the blue flag of an Admiral in the United States Navy. came up across the bar on the unarm- ed steamer Toey-wan. He had left his f la-gship, the Powhatan, in the bay out- side. The allied fleets parted to let him by. His purpose was to demand instant passage in the name of the President of the United States. When he was almost under the walls of the first fort the plucky little Toey-wan rammed her nose into the mud and HEELED OVER. HEAVILY " with the falling tide. Capt. Tatlnall sent messengers ashore, but they were hardly allowed to land, the gigantic coolie still refusing passage. Admiral Hope now saw the danger of the Am- erican ship, particularly in her ex- posed position under the forts. and he sent the gunboat Plover with his com- pliments to drag her off. But the chain parted and the 'l‘oey-wan lurched still further on. At this the gallant Ad- miral deSpatched another vessel. â€"“:'1“ell tt‘xe American commander." be said, “to hoist his ensign aboard and keep her _a.s long‘as he ciegireg.” might-T}; favora‘hle wind having arisen, Capt. Tattnall declined the courtesy. and during the night he was able to clear the shoal. Shortly after 2 o’clock on the follow- ing day the allied fleets cleared for action. The gunboat Plover ran up the river under a full head of steam and drove headlong into the first boom. It snapped like a cotton cord. and the Plover spun shuddering into the clear water beyond. All this time the seven grlm forts had given no sign. Not a man had shown himself above the ramparts. No flags were displayed. and the gun em- brasures were webbed with matting. The coolie commander had assured the English that the forts were quite empty. Of a. sudden. while the Plover was trimming for a plunge at the second boom. the ramparts above swarmed with gunners. An instant later a hundred guns, trained with merciless cunning, blenched out a stream of fire and solid shot. Nearly: every ship in the fleet. was hit. The little Plover staggered and fluttered, riddled with shot. A ball carried away a gunner’s head and mortally wounded three oth- er men. This was the beginning. The Admir- al drove his little fleet close in where the fire was deadliest and poured broadside after broadside into the en- emy’s forts. But the Chinese beat their tom-toms and continued to fire frantically. At 5 o’clock two of the British ships had been sunk and four others were aground, hopelessly wrecked. Admiral Hope and three of his Captains were wounded and the flag had been twice changed and now flew from the masthead of the Cor- mutant. Capt. Tattnall had seen all this from the bridge of the Toey-wan. His masts had swarmed with seamen. cheering the British gunners. but the law of neutrality forbade any interference. - “ll bu.” V‘Vvv m English mishifian. rah aloniaidi The officer land on 3:33;; fi‘iié third. gauging __~~ 7“. _' Hofio lay demented; Vimfiidod on t!” quarter-dockâ€"and the little mid-MP. 8W “Tell your Admit-11." nit!

Having delivered the reinforcement. the Toey-wan dropped back. but (‘M‘t Tattnall was not yet satisfied with his work. “After anchoring." he said in his report. “I thought. of the Admiral and his chivalrous kindness to me on the day before. which, from an unwill- inaneas to intrude on him when he wan preparing for action. I had in no way acknowledged." Having decided that it was his duty to pay his respects. the gallant Captain forgot about the hundred guns still thundering from the forts. Twenty seamen manned a barge and. accom- panied by Flag Lieutenant Trench- ard.he was rowed across the shot-swept river. As they approached the Enl!‘ lish flagship a Chinese shot struck one of the ears. crushed through the boat, and tore its way out. below the water line. Flying splinters mortally wound- ed Coxwain Hart and injured the Flag Lieutenant. The crew scrambled from the sinking barge and were dragged aboard the gunboet. Here they be- eld of carnage. More than half the gun- ners lay dead and the decks were slip- pery with blood. While Capt. Tattnall paid his respects to the British Admir- al the American seamen. quite contrary to orders. sprang to the British guns. rammed home the shells and the flagship spoke again to the enemy ’8 fort. The exhausted gunners set up a wild cheer of approval and with renewed hope, worked side by sidc with t he Americans. On his return to the-Toey-wan Capt Tattnall called the smoke-grimed gun- ners to account {or disobeying ord- ers and taking part in actual hostil- ities. “Beg pardon. sir,” said one of them. “they was short- handed at the bow gun. and so we giv’d 'em a help fez fellowship sake.” The 'l‘oey-wan now returned to the task of bringing up the British re- serves. continuing far into the night. At eight. o’clock a storming party of 600 marines were landed on the mud- dy shore. They waded three terrible trenches sown with oaltrops and cheer- ed half way up the embankment in the face of murderous tire of jungals and Minie balls. Hours later 400 of them came straggling hack. a full third of the force having been killed or wounded. And to} the first time in Capt. Tatt- nall’s service disobedience went un- punished. Again the American ship came to the rescue. It gathered up the maim- ed, mangled and muddy bodies of the EngliSh matinee and with its own dead coxswain dropped back across the bar in the gray of the early morning. In the meantime Capt. 'l‘attnall had sent Lieut. Johnson with the Powhatan to the aid of the British ships outside the bar. and all night of the '26th he serv- ed under the Union Jack, carrying the defeated marines and wounded sea- men to places of safety. U Of 1.350 men of the allied fleets who went. into action 450 were killed and wounded. including }wenty-nine offi- cers. In the course of the battle the British Admiral shifted his flag no fewer than three times. “evincing an indomitable valor." reported Capt. 'l‘attnall. “under very disheartening and almost horn-less surroundings.” Capt. Tattnall's act was a distinct violation of neutrality, but the Ameri- can people received him on his re- turn from China with honors such as have seldom fallen to an officer 0! his rank. Later he was formally thanked by the English Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in the name of her Majesty, and by the Lords Com- missioners of_ the British Admiralty. "Gallant. Americans!" apostrophized a writer in Blackwood’s Magazine. “You and your Admiral did more that day to bind England and the United States than all your lawyers and petti- fog'ging politicians have ever done to part us.” The Irish capital has long ceased to be the “cardrivingist” town in the kingdom; indeed. the very existence of the once famous Irish car is strongly threatened by the coming system of electric tramways and the bicycle which has already come. That the streets may become the “hikingest” in the kingdom seems probable. for ire- land is second to no country for the unanimity with which all sorts and conditions of humanity have adopted the bicycle.
