There were print work dresses and aprons. and the neatest little wrappers, made from solid-colored dark red print. And there were white aproms to be worn with these. We agreed with the anus- tic " little woman," who said she thought her doti looked the beat of all in these. A yard of narrow lace or a few spools of embroidery silk will be “ennies well invested, because they .vill aid In the appreciation of woman- ly finishing touches.

Mothers soon realize how much a doll will help in developing womanly qualities in a little girl. Not only the love and care-taking that spring from the embryo motherhood, but the prac- tical thought and handiwork necesary in furnishing a wardrobe and keeping it in order. Reqently'a lift}; girl or ten was 'ly.tinor her. big doll and its clothes. for the good of the child, and to pre- vent its getting at all cold, it should be both washed and dressed in twen- ty minutes; and this will not be diffi- rult when everything has been pre- pared beforehand. as possible. The nurse should then re- move the damp flannel apron that she has bean wearing, and replace it with a warm. dry one, so that nothing damp will come near the child's chothes while it is being dragged. We are told that There is a right and a wrong way of drying a child. as there is in doing anything else. and of course it requires to he done quickly, therefore when the r'hilrl is removed from the bath it should be laid on its stomach, across the knees, and the back and arms and legs rap- idly dried with the hot towels; then it should be turned over and the re- mainder of the body dried as quickly Before taking off the nightdress the eyes should be Well cleansed with soft pieces of rag, which must be thrown away afterwards, so as not to be used again. Much of the inflammation of the eyes that young babies so very frequently get, is due to carelessness in this respect. After this has been done and the eyes carefully dried with a soft towel, then the ears must be attended to, care being taken that all waxy deposit is removed. After this the child's face should be washed with a soft piece or flannel. For the face also it is not desirable to use soap; a young baby does not require it if the akin is very well bathed. The nurse should then ascertain if the wa- ter is of the right temperature and ready for the child's immersion. Before putting it into the bath the body should be well lathered with soap, par- ticularly between the folds of the body, as it is there that a young child will so very quickly get sore. After this has been done, put the child into the water, and bathe it all over, always excepting its face; even the head should be bathed, and it the water is made to run off in a backward di- rection, there will be no fear of its getting into the child's eyes. Five minutes is quite the longest time 't, should be kept in the bath. l on any article of clothing for achild. In a separate basin should be placed a little warm water; this is for bath- ing the child’s eyes and ears, for which soap should never be used. Everything should be kept quite ready beforehand for the bath. The clothes that the child is going to have on should be put before the tire, and tho towels warmed, a cold towel should never be used for drying a child. A needle and cotton should be at hand ready to stitch on any garment which cannot properly be fastened with strings or buttons, such as the bind- er, for instance. Pins should never be used, not even safety pins, to fasten The right temperature or a bath for quite 5 young infant-that is, one that " Just born-stu) ue of about blood heat. 98 deg. Fahr. Afterwards, until the end of the third month, It should always be given between 92 deg. and 98 deg. Fahr., never below 92 deg., towards the end of the third month it may be given between 70 deg. and 80 deg., and at six months old, nut before, it may be lows-ed to between 60 deg. and 70 deg. A cold bath should nev- or be given to a little child until it is quite eighteen months old, end not then when it is noticed that it gets what is commonly called ”goose flesh," and blue lips when it comes out at the water. Great care must be taken about the temperature of the bath. Nothing frightens a baby so much as being put into water that in too hot, and when once it has been frightened it takes a. long time for a baby to regain con- fidence; on the other hand, if the wa- ter ia not warm enough, it produces a feeling of chillinem which is very disagreeable. and the child, in conse- quence, looks blue and is very shiver! when it is taken out of the water. Colds on the chest, which with young infants, very quickly take the form of bronchitis, are often than not caught in this way. For babies, " I luppoee all mothers know, the deily bath is very import- ant. A: a rule, all children love wa- ter, end it is not often that a baby will cry when once in the bath, and it feels the warmth of the water all over its little body up to ita neck; this should afirars be the height of the water in the bath-otherwise, although one part of the child may be quite warm, the other part will be feeling Very cold from exposure to the air, and then the child will become cross and dislike ita bath. Babies require much more warmth and feel the cold much more quickly and more intensely than we do. _ HOUSEHOLD. BABY'S BATH. BICYCLE RIDING AN OFFENSE. It is considered a heinous offense to ride a bicycle anywhere near the city of Constantinople. These errors of hand, ere and ear would afford a valuable study to the psychologist, but they serve a better purpose pumps in giving occasion for laughter as we jog on. Perfectly sober and perfectly sane men have walked in at neighbors' doors and even entered the dining- roum before discovering that they were perhaps several doors from their own. Who that uses pen and mucihge has not dipped the brush in the ink, and sprawled over the paper inadvertently dipped in the wrong bottle; A teacher in a well-known academy has a habit of carrying his umbrella over his shoulder like a gun, and one cloudy morning picking iup a broom instead of the umbrella. he hurriedly walked off with it and would no doubt have gone directly to prayers so ac- coutred had not his wife called him back A young lady took an iee cream soda, and took the long spoon away witr her, discovering her mistake wher she undertook to tan herself with the spoon at a lace counter. A woman recently went to purchase some Hamburg trimming, and wishing to put on her glasses opened her um- brellz instead and having a merry heart as well as tricky biceps. she hurruee away from the counter cun- vulsed with laughter-the salesman no doubt thinking his would-be customer was something of a lunatic. Dome laughable III-lance» ofAbueIl-Vllml- when. The lack of co-ordination between brain and muscle leads to many a laughable mistake, a few instances of which are here given: Cocoa Cake-One cup flour, in which mix b8 cup cocoa or less and 1-2 tea- spoon cream tartar. In 1 cup sugar. work 1-4 cup butter, g eggs, 1-2 cup milk, in which dissolve 1-4 teaspoon soda. Bake in two thin loaves and put together with white icing. Hickory Nut Cakes-One-half cup butter, 2 cups flour, 11-2 cups sugar. 3-4 cup water, whites 4 eggs, 1 cup hickory nut kernels, 1 teaspoon bak- ing powder. Beat the butter and sugar to a cream, then add the water and flour, stir until smooth; add 1-2 the well-beaten whites, then the nuts, then the remainder of the whites and the baking powder. Pour into square fiat pans lined with buttered paper to the depth of 3 inches and bake in a moderate oven for 45 minutes. 4 eggs, 2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon bak- ing powder, 1-2 cup of milk and 1-2 teaspoon almond flavoring. Cream the butter, add the sugar gradually, cream thoroughly, sift flour and bak- tng powder together, add milk and flour alternately, add flavor, out in stiff whites. Bake in two layers. THREE CAKES. Cream Almond Cake-One-halt cup butter, lcup powdered sugar, whites On the farm the beat place to keep house plants is in the kitchen, where a wood fire usually burns, and where all day the steam from boiling water in a teakettle or from the cooking of vegetables is always pouring into the room. The kitchen is in the farm house the principal living room. and flowers are more needed there than In any other in the house. There is no- thing so good for house plants as moist, warm air. It prevents the dust which would cover their leaves in a dry atmosphere, and it the plants can be exposed to sunlight near a south window during the day, they will grow as vigorously as they did out of doors in summer, but the plant that has pro- duced abundant flowers in winter should not be used tor winter flower- ing, nor vice versa. All the year growth exhausts them and they need a rest. Even in Florida, in localities where it never freezes, moat kinds of plants take a rest and almost cease to grow during the month when the days are shortest. COAL GAS AND PLANTS. Many people who wish to keep flow- ers where they think ornament is moat needed place them in the parlor or sit- ting room where a coal fire is burn- ing. Then they wonder why it is that they have no luck with flowers. The leaves drop off and the plants soon be- come a mass of naked, or rather rag- ged, stems, for so long as the plant lives it must keep, during warm weather, enough leaves to absorb oxy- gen during the daytime, which the plant gives off afterwards. It takes also the minute portion of carbonic acid gas which is in all pure air, but if it gets too much of carbonic acid gas, as it is sure to do In a room where a coal stove is burning, the plant suf- fers much as a living animal might un- der the same circumstances. In addition a ‘all bedstead, though it be rude in construction, may be made the foundation for doll bed clothes, and so an intimate knowledge be gained of all that enters into the beauty and comfort of a bed-that me ceeeity in all lives. _ - The wisest gift-giver nlwnyn (no. that which will call into exetolso the superior qualities ln the on. who re- coins the gift.

They always allude to a cold as "my cold." just as if they had pre-een) it, and mpy- righted it, and patented it, and trade- marked it, and taken a warrentee deed of that particular cold, and were de- termined to stick to it to the bitter end, just as it generally sticks to them. "My cough. my neuraliga, my mumps, my nervous prostration, my Corns, my headaches, my rheumatism, my doctor, my nurse." and by and by, if they could only be alive to allude to it--"my undertaker." The teacher of your children will tell you how "my school is a model, and my discipline is perfect, and my order is exeellent-1 pride myself on my order-and my pupils never dream of disobeying my orders, and nobody over yet complained of being in- sulted when they passed my school- house. And my schoolhouse has my flag floating over it " and very likely it floats from "my" fiagstUL The pompous householder will speak of "my place, and my mock. and my lawn, and my grounds, and my stables, and my horse and buggy, and my team, and my Goddard, and my dogs," and so on down to the smallest of his earthly possessions. And his wife and children will use the same phraseology. because it is catching. The teacher of your cl tell you how "my school and my discipline is perfe order is exeellent-1 pride my order-and my pupils n of disobeying my orders, 1 over yet complained of suited when they passed The dressmaker you employ will na- sure you that "my fits cannot, be dup- licated in the city, and that my sleeve: always set well, and can be made to tit skin-tight--yes, absolutely akin- tight-and will be easy; for I have made that my study; and my whalep cones never prick through the facing of my waists, because I have my whale- bones always sheathed with a contri- vance which is my own special in- vention." The butcher tells you that nowhere can "my meat be equalled, certainly: not surpassed, and my customers will', endorse my assertion." l I give you my word that my cousin. who has a very large store in my native city. and enjoys the trade of all my old friends, assures me that I am not mistaken in my estimation of these goods. And it is my candid be.. lief that you will be better pleased with them than with anything else in my store." "Now, my advice to you would be that you had better take my latest novelty goods. They are the very newest, and everybody who has bought them is perfectly satisfied with my taste. My experience in buying has given me great fanilltiee. l assure you. A little dapper, eighteen-year-old clerk, whose shirt collar embraces his neck until his ears are only half visible to the naked eye, will tell you that you will not find the article of which you are in pursuit in "my" store. We have ordered it. but my consignera are aw- fully slow-large orders, you know-. and 1 shall have to send in my orders again." And then probably he will proceed to enlighten you as to what you really do want, and what you had better have, something in this wise: It is not women alone who indulge in an excessive use of the word "my." Oh, not at all, Any store where you are shopping will furnish you with a striking example ot the general use of that all-pervasive word. “I got out of my bed, and I had my bath, and I put on my clothes. and I ate my breakfast, and I took my walk, and then I went for my drive, and after that I went out to do my shopping and I had to hurry to catch my car. for I must get back to see my butcher about my turkey; and my grocery man comes at eleven; and my cook is all out of temper if all my supplies for my dinner are not ready to her hand when she is ready to com- mence. And my husband always gets home by one, and he expects me to have my toilet made. and to be ready to receive my guests, if he brings them home to dinner." Did you ever observe the multitude of people who invariably tack that possessive "my" on to everything? "I" occupies considerable - in the minds of most of us, and figure- very conspicuously in ordinary eonreratttion. It trequently ushers in a long, de- tailed. five-volume account of what "I have been doing. and what I expect to do, and what I think and believe"; but "I" only stands for one‘s self. while "My" includes, the whole scheme of creation.
