FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
DAILY THOUGHT.
—Rest after work i= one of the unfailing and
pure joys.—Kaat,
One is overwhelmed every day by the
things Jesple doun’s know—simple things
about diet, or gardens or babies. Some-
times I wouder whether my [friends go
about with their eyes shut! I heard my
little boy in the garden, saying this morn-
ing to his governess, ‘‘Miss Brown, I don’t
like to feed the obickens, I's sash
a bother—I juss like to sbrow the corn
in.” Hall she mothers are like that, and
the poor children are br t ap “with
the corn thrown in.” Child culture. It
isn’t wholly instinctive, but it comes with
sud careful study.
ou are a young woman with your
first baby coming, you really should read
up for several months some of the books
on babies, baby food, and ohild training,
with which the market is flooded. You
will find in them information about the
choice of nurseries, clothes and ventilation.
Study before and after the baby comes and
keep studying. If you can't nurse your
oes A is is muob easier if yon can—
prepare the foods yoursell. No one will be
as olean as you nor take as much trouble,
and nearly all baby illnesses come from
carelessly prepared foods and insufficiently
washed les. If you do not care to do
this, then sit and bold the baby and eee is
done. As to dressing babies, are you afraid
to he a bis of a pioneer? If not, use white
washable cloths, made in kimono form—
outside comes the little dress, next a white
slip and nex, except in very hot weather,
the flaopel slip. They should each be in
kimono shape, the outer one the longest,
the next a trifle smaller and shorter, and
the inner one the smallest. I used to place
them, one fitted into the other, flat on she
bed, and after the baby bad had his tab
and bis band and diaper were put on, I
laid him on his clothes, poked his listle
arms into the sleeves, folied the kimono
garments well aronnd bim aod tied his
wide white lawn sash around his waist, the
bow in front. Think of it! Nota pin nor
a button. The outside kimono was feath-
er-stitched and plaited, and she turned-
baoked ouffs were edged with lace. My
doctor and nurses were charmed with the
model, and believe me, simple or oroate,
these are the moss satisfactory clothes, both
comfortable and easy to launder.
Another important point in the care of
babies is to give them plenty of warm
water to drink. When they become » little
frettal, joss fill a bostle with warm water,
pnt the nipple on avd place it in the baby’s
mouth; nine times out of ten he will go
happily to sleep. It does not spoil hisap-
petite and will immeasurably benefit his
health.
Let your bahy sleep every day ina
perambulator cot of doors. Cover him
well, yet give him a chance to get a good
supply of oxygen. The best meaning
mothers in the world sometimes let their
little ones starve for it. Children oan sleep
out in their carriages in the coldest weath-
er as long as they are well wrapped in
Dates, with only their little noses show-
ng.
In the matter of underclothing for young
as well as old, there is one thing to be said.
Sinee American homes are so well heated,
in faot, so often overheated, all clothes for
in door wear should be comparatively thin,
warm ocoa!s only being added on going ont
of doors. They can scarcely be too warmly
dressed then, and far coats should be pro-
vided for driving in, in winter. Never
drive in closed carriages if you can possibly
go io open ones.
I am fond of the country so perhaps I am
prejudiced, bos ic seems to me the only
place in which to bring up children. There-
fore when youug people are thinking of
marriage, ought they nos to consider this
fact in the choice of their future? Ii is so
much better to know beforehand whether
you are prepared to give much up for your
Shildfen. A ps ig ote sud lite at home
are, in my opinion, all-important ; for
when onoe boys go off to boarding school,
they lose snch oocupations as taking care of
chickens, shoveling enow from the paths,
watching squirrels, feeding the birds and
working in the garden. Coasting, skating
and snowballing they can get at schools,
bat these are pure amnsement—the other
things, beside being amusing, teaob help-
falness, economy, thrift. [read a very
good book, called ‘‘The Luxary of Chil-
dren.’” It is a well chosen title ; for, toa
certain extent, we must pay for the laxary
of having them, as they call for pure an-
selfishness and high ideals.—Vogue.
The list of celluloid dolls, fish and aguat-
io hirde, that the baby may take into the
bath-tab with her, is being constantly ang-
mented. There are gold fish, silver fish,
green fish and frogs, dnoks of many colors
and swans, turtles alligators and lobsters,
to say nothing of the habies of many sizes.
There are sets of gold fish with a small rod
for catohing shem. Either the fish have
small rings on their heads and are caught
with a fish-hook or the rods are fitted with
magnets. Among the mechanical toys that
perform in the water when wonnd up are
dolls, fish, frogs, lobsters, ducks and,
Inet bat not least, a diver in a diver’s suit.

—1t must not be forgotten that without
gris even soft foods will be slowly and
jpoatly digested. Lay tu hens suffer more
or the want of grit avy other kind of
try. The hens can not produce many
eggs unless they have grit to assimilate
their food.
—Now when the old year is ng, our
thoughts are aps to wander back reviewing
the poultry work of the past season. We
oan all see past mistakes snd how we can
improve matters next season, and, seeing,
we shonld resolve to do our best, avd then
keep the resolution.
—Soatter a little grain among litter at
nooo, and give a full feed at night. What
is meant by a full feed of grain is about a
good bandfal for each fowl in the pen. A
mixtare of corn, wheat, oats and barley,
equal parts by measurement, makes an
exoellent mixture for winter.

nr That is the question, and is is safe
to say, “No, shey will not.”
So let the old hens go. They will bring
a pretty good price before Christmes.
—Fowls must have green food in some
form or other for egg produotion during
the winter months. In cooked or scalded
olover hay or alfalfa we have good substi-
tates, and it is wise to mix either one with
the morning mash; bat, if at all possible,
some ‘‘real green stuff’’ should also te
given each day.
—At any time now the mulching of rhu-
barb. asparagus and all of the vegetable
aod flowering perennials may be done. Any
kind of fine or coarse manure will do. The
fall and eatly winter rains will dissolve
out richness of the manare and carry is to
the roats of the plants before freezing. It
is not best to manloh the lawn till Decem-
ber or January.
—Raise your ohickeus outdoors at all
seasons of the year, give then every oppor-
tonisy to ges fresh air and sunshine. Keep
them in small flocks until they roost regu-
larly. Keep the roofs of all brooders and
ooops water tight; dampness is fatal to
ohiokens, old or young. If coops leak,
cover with tar roofing or canvas painted
with several coats of white lead.
—Save all the wood ashes and use around
fruit trees as a fertilizer. Wood ashes are
especially good for trees and they
will benefit all fruit trees and vines, In
using them as a fertilizer do nos place any
agaiost the trunk of the tree, wince the
strong alkali will epoil the bark. Scatter
them thinly on the soil over a circle as large
as the 0p of the tree. The feeding roots ran
gos farther than she longest hranches of
the tree.
—Full Care of Sage.—Cat all stalks off
the sage about three inohes above ground.
Alter the ground freezes, cover with a lib-
eral mulch of old manure. In the spring
dig this 10 around the roots. Remove ai
leaves from the stalks and dry in the
shade ; they are as good as leaves picked
daring the summer. Where roots are
three or more years old it ia hest to divide
them and reset in the fall. Yoang plants
farnish more large leaves and less woody
stems than do older plants. Sage seed
planted in rich, loose soil will turnish nice
plants the following year. Use this year's
seed and next spring thin the plants toa
foot apart.
~Following ivstraotions in regard to
killing Mealy bags on plants were given
by State Zoologiss Sarface, in responce to a
recent inquiry :
*“The incects on the Coleus plants are
Mealy hogs. You can kill these by dip
ping a fice pointed brush into pure kero-
sene oil tonching the buge with it.
Eaoh one so touched will be killed ; or,
you can make up a strongsolution of Ivory
soap, with a very little ammonia added
and dip a brush or a sponge into this and
wash the leaves or stems of the ivfested
plants at the places where the bags or lice
are present, and kill the by this
means. Again, yon oan up a spray
of one pound of whale oil soap dissolved in
six gallons of water ; or use an eight per
cent. kezosene emulsion, and spray them
and thas kill sone of them. Repeat this
8s often as any are seen, and keep them in
control by this means.

THE KING'S ORDER.
it Was Obeyed, and Yet the Monarch
Was Not Happy.
When King Gustavus (11, of Sweden
was in Paris he was visited by a depu
ttion of the Sorboune. That learne
body congratulated the king on th
happy fortune which bad given bi so
great a man as Scheele, the discoverer
of magvesium, us his subject and tei
low countryman,
The king, who took small interest in
the progress of science, feit somewhnt
ashamed that be should be so ignorant
as uever even to have heard of the re
nowned chemist. He dispatched a con-
rier at ouce to Sweden with the laconic
order, “Scheele Is to be immediately
raised to the dignity and title of =
count.”
“His majesty must be obeyed.” said
the prime minister as he read the or-
der, “but who in the world is Scheele?”
A secretary was told to make inquiries.
He came back to the premier with
very full information. “Scheele is a
good sort of fellow,” said he, “a lieu:
tenant in the artillery, a capital shot
and a first rate hand at billiards.”
The next day the lieutenant became n
count, and the {illustrious scholar and
scientist remained a simple burgher.
The error was not discovered until
the king returned home. His majesty
was indignant. "You must all be
fools,” he exclaimed, “pot to know
who Scheele is!"—Argonaut.

“Yes, dear,” she continued, “lute

for the evening performance “La Tour

“La Soeur de Jocrisse,” a one act farce
The drama bad been disposed of. but
the low comedian was missing and
couid not be found. What was to be
done? A luminous idea finally entered
the manager's wind. The orchestra
piayed an overture, then another
then a third, then a polka and finally
a quadrille. At last, when the audi
ence had grown quite obstreperous,
the stage manager appeared. He ad-
dressed the three conventional bows to
the spectators and said: “Ladies and
gentlemen, you are anxious, 1 know, to
listen to ‘La Soeur de Jocrisse.' The
piece has just been acted, but through
an unaccountable oversight on the part
of the stage hands they forgot to raise
the curtain.”
