DAILY THOUGHT. “Power dwells with cheerfulness; hope puts us, in a working mood, whilst daspair is no music and untunes the active powers." —Emerson, The fashion of wearing bloomers on the small girl is an increasingly popular one, aod nowadays each frock is accompanied by its nether ts made of the same material as the frock itself. This fashion owes its popularity not only to the fact that it greatly reduces laundry bills, but to the greater freedom of action which it al- lows the child. Mothers of small girls are rejoicing in the apparens permanency of the ganimpe. For, although the gnimpe and sleeves require constant washing, sufficient compensation is granted in the look of freshness and daintiness which are inspired by these wash accessories. In addition to this, too, the gnimpe saves wear and tear on the sleeves. For, as every mother Kkuows, the constant rubbing of arms on the desk used to result in the early shabbiness of the wool sleeves. What you Ooght to Know Aboat Your Baby.—A human infant, daring the first few months of its life, is ao extremely delicate organism, aud so it should be handled as seldom as possible. The young mother who, io the excess of her pride and love, cuddles ber baby to her hreast and showers kisses upon it by the half-hour makes a pretty picture, it must be admis. ted, bas it caunos be maintained that the little one is bevefited hy her caresses. Quite to the contrary, ber very kiss helps to make it nervous and irritable and prepares the way for the seeds of disease. A baby tbat is fondled too much is a baby thas cries too wuch, and is ill too much. Despite the evidences of intelligence ap- parent to loving eyes after the first week, an infant’s mind is a happy blank, and it gate no joy ous of the affections. To it, its mother appears merely asa source of food, and later on, when its brain begins to function, this primitive association of a oraving and the means of satisfaction is probably the first definite idea that forma- lates in its wind. When it is hoogry, it wants its mother to feed it, and before long, instead of merely crying for food, it cries for her. When it is not hnogry, its chiel peed and desire is for sleep. A healthy baby, during its first month, should sleep at least eighteen hours a day. And this sleeping should be dove, nos in a rocking, verve- racking eradle, but io a solid, comfortable orib. The cradle helongs to the age of spinning wheels and flails, of soothing syrups aud necromancy. It is nos oneil the fourth day after the baby’s birth that its mother’s milk is truly nourishing, bat such as it is, it ex- actly meets the needs of the child. It is, in fact, a sort of laxative serum, which stimulates the entire digestive tract and prepares the stomach for the reception of food. On the first day the baby should be nursed only ounce, but it should be given a drink of boiled water every three hours or so. On the second day is should he nursed three times—morning, afternoon and night—with the same allowance of water. On the third day the routine of the second day should be repeated. At the end of the third day it will be found that the child bas lost a quarter or balf a pound. This need canse no alarm, for it is perfectly vatural, and a steady gain will immediate: ly begin. On the fourth day both baby and mother are ready for regular feedings at shorter intervals. From this time onward, until toward the end of ite second month, the child should be nursed every two boars, with a slightly longer wait alter its daily bath, and an interval of seven hours in the night. In all, it should have about nine feedings during the twenty-four hours, as follows: 6, Band 10 a. m., aud 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11 p. m. Between eleven o'clock in the evening and six in the morning it should not be fed at all. The fact that most babies demand food daring this time mere- ly shows that moss babies have bad habits. Let the child ory in vain for three nights ronping and it will never cory again. Bus during the day, even if it happens to be sound asleep, it is well to waken it in order to keep to this schedule faithfully. The bath should be given at ten o'clock in the morning. The water should be at the temperature of the body—about 99 degrees—and soap should be used very sparingly. After the child bas been gent- ly washed, sponge it with a soft cloth dip- Juin cold water and give it a brief rab- own with alcohol. This will bring the blood to the surface, stimulate the circula- tion aud prevent colds. Itis well to let the baby sleep three or four hours after its bath. Then, if it has not already awaken. ed and demanded food, it should be arons- ed and the regular schedule of feeding re- sumed. The length of time that the child should be kept at the breast at each feeding de- pends so much upon the volume of the milk and ite own idosynorasies that itis impossible to lay down an iuvariable rale. The mother should be guided by the fact that a new-born infant's stomach has a capacity of hot one ounce, or eight tea- tals. Some babies are able to ingest is amount of milk in a few minates, while others require much longer. Bat it is 1arely safe to keep a child at the breast for more than ten to fifteen minuntes. An infant's stomach is not a fully de- veloped organ, and, as every one knows, it can digest only milk, or something closely approximating milk in composition. Asa matier of face, it probably plays bot a minor role even in the digestion of milk, for it stands almost perpendicular and is really little more thau an extension of the howels. The food which enters it passes into the bowels very quickly, and there the more important part of the process of digestion takes place. Bat, all the same, a baby should be given no wore food than ite stomach can bold. A baby, like an adult, needs water as regularly as it needs food. The milk that it gets, though a liQuid, does not satisfy ita thirst. It should be given water at least three times a day, and this water should be nearly, if not quite, free of or- gavisms. The water thas comes from the average city main or country spring isalive with microscopic plants and animals, even when it seems olear and sparkliog minote organisme, as a rule, are barmless to adaolts, hot in the delicate stomach of the bahy they are apt to cause disturbances, and so they must be eliminated. The hest way toget rid of shew isto allow the water to boil twenty minutes. After that, let it cool and store it in clean, well corked bottles which bave been previously immers- ed in boiling water for five minotes. Glas re are better than corks. led water is tasteless and insipid be- cause of the absence of air-hubbles, but the baby seldoms notices it. It is best drunk tle. out of a thoroughly olean naHiagshu. | A Grateful Crab. “Alfred Sommerlad, musical director of the Devonshire Park theater, East- bourne, and Edgar Bateman, the song writer, out fishing caught an edible crab,” says an Euglish periodical. “They tossed it back into the water. At that moment an accidental kick sent the bait box after the crab. There was one fragment of bait adhering to the hook, and this was lowered into the ses, and the anglers left the rod for a time. When they returned they found their basket, which they had left empty, full to overflowing with fine flounders, soles, rock. whiting and plaice. The explanation was soon forthcoming. Painfully making its way up the fishing line came the crea- ture whose life had been spared bear- ing in its nippers a fine young conger eel, which it placed with the other fish on the basket. Then it dropped back into the water. Apparently the grate- ful crab, knowing that he had caused the bait to be lost, had deposited fif- teen and one-half pounds of live fish in the creel as a thank offering for its life being spared.” Piracy’'s Romance. Piracy is as old as history, but we think of it more particularly as woven inextricably into the romantic yonth of the new world. The word itself suggests first of all to Americans at least such names as Captain Kidd, Bartholomew Roberts, Captain Ed- ward England, Captain George Low- ther and that terrifying and dashing huceaneer Sir Henry Morgan, and the chief exploits of these men were ac- complished at the expense of the coast of North America and the much har- ried shores of the Caribbean. The his- tory of piracy is full of drama, stir- ring action and daring deeds, and it is on this account rather than because of its darker side of fire, murder, killing and inhuman cruelty that children even today, years after the last of the genuine pirates has been swept from the seas, are constantly playing in imi- tation of piratical exploits and that men and women still find a unique fascination in reading of the followers of the black flag.—Jackson Cross ip Metropolitan Magazine. Taking Their Temperature. For three days on a transatlantic cattle steamer, with passenger accom- modations, Mrs. Billings had been en- deavoring by persistent and continu- ous questionings to obtain some ideas as to nautical proceedings, and the other passengers had about reached the end of their patience. “Well” remarked Miss Talbot at «. «ner as she passed the salt, “I am glad to find that they treat the cattle so humanely on board. Why. they take the temperature twice a day reg- ularly.” “Oh,” cried Mrs. Billings in a high, piercing crescendo, “do they really? I'm so glad to hear it, but I shouldn't think they could very well.” “Why not, madam?” inquired an eld- erly man on her left. “Well—-well, why,” said Mrs. Bil- lings, “I should think that it would be hard to keep a clinical thermometer in a cow's mouth long enough to get any temperature without having it crush- ed.”--Youth's Companion. Diamond Cutters and Their Work. Not only is diamond cutting not a specially highly paid occupation, but it is one involving a most humiliating system of espionage to the worker. Each man has to strictly account for the stones he receives on going to work in the morning, and the count has to be carefully taken when the un- finished work is handed in at night to be locked up in a safe against the re- | turn of the workmen the next day. The possibilitics of theft are great, though a dishonest workman knows that an attempt to dispose of an unfin- ished stone would bring suspicion upon him wherever the attempt was made. According to Law. In one of the states an act was passed last year requiring heads of families to notify the health officer at once in case there was any contagious disease in the house.

A lady friend of mine, says an Eng- lish writer, has as pets a canary and a cat. The two were the best of good friends, and when the bird's prison door was opened it would come out and perch on the cat's back while it trilled forth a song of gladness. One day my friend left her two pets together, and on her return the bird was nowhere to be found. Pussy was curled up on a cushion, sleeping con- tentedly, and my friend jumped to the conclusion that the cat was answer- able for the bird's disappearance, con- sequently she caught up the cat and, lolding the supposed delinquent be- fore the empty cage, beat it rather mercllessly. Poor pussy mewed pite- ously, but her relentless mistress put her outside and shut the door against her. . Next morning, feeling rather asham- ed of her outburst, she made inquiries about the cat, but pussy was gone. Some days later she heard a faint scratching at her window, and on open- ing the casement a cat crept in and laid a bedraggled canary at her feet. At first she did not recognize her pets in the two disreputable looking objects before her. When she did recognize them her delight was great. Presumably the canary had gone out by the open window, and, finding liber- ty sweet, it had flown to a neighboring wood. How the cat found the bird and brought it back uninjured is a mys- tery. It woald be thought thas women recog nizing the delicacy of their sex, would seek in that delicacy, at first, for the cause of beadache, dizziness and general weakness, Bat instead of this, they generally attri. bate such disorders, at first, to the liver, and treat the liver when they should be treating the delicate womanly organs. And yet women’s mistakes are not so remark- able when is is considered that local phy- siciavs often make a similiar mistake and treat for the wrong direase., Oser halfa million women have found health and healing in Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip- tion. Many of these had tried dootors in vain. They were sofferers from female weakness in its extreme forms and oconsid- ered their cases hopeless. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription cured them. Is will cure irregularity, inflammation, ulceration, and hearing-down pains, and the cure is perfect and permanent. Medical. HELPFUL WORDS FROM A BELLEFONTE CITIZEN, Is your back lame and painful?
