GERMAN NURSES BEST.
MORE NATURAL METHODS EM-
PLOYED THAN BY AMERICANS.
Early Months of a German Baby's
Life are Very Quiet and Simple.~
Fancy Baby Clothes Tabooed.
The mother of a large family of
American children chanced to be living
abroad when the last baby was born,
and she has since often times said that
she wished all of her children had been
born in Germany.
The last little girl, during its first
three months of existence, in charge of
a native German fdurse, was not only
more comfortable, but better cared for
in every way than the other children
| bles, sterilized milk being used,
who were born in America, The little |
girl was brought up by the native Gers |
man method, and this means, in the
first place, that the German baby |
treated scientifically. Nor does this
signify by the rules of a recently ae
quired experimental science, the result
of attending a series of mothers’ con- |
gresses, but a science which is the in-|
heritance of the race,
Plain Clothing ; No Frills,
In the wardrobe of a German baby
there are no dainty little dresses with
frills and laces and blue ribboned pet-
ticoats and ruth furbelows, It}
has, in place of these, an ample supply
of little chemises, merino undershires, |
and diapers, while for a dress, a two- |
yard square of white flannel serves, |
A case is recounted of one proud
American mother who exhibited with
maternal delight the dainty things she
had brought over for the ex
She was much shocked and hurt to see
them all brushed ruthlessly aside
but the shirts—and further to see ¢
the lovely baby ts, with their fine
embroidery, heartlessly ripped from the
waists. The other things, she was ad
vised, would not be neaded for three
months,

The Dressing Table.
For the German baby's bath his little
tub is filled with tepid water and he
lies entirely immersed, only his little
face above the surface, his back and
head supported on the nurse's arm.
Then he is rolled and patted dry In h
towels In the usual way, after which he
is dressed, not on the nurse's knee, but
on the “Wickeltisch,” or swaddling ta

A New Gold Digger.
The present yield of gold is double
what it was ten years ago, now
amounting to a million dollars a day.
Within the next ten years it bids fair
to double again, This advance in the |
last decade is largely due to the fn |
vention of the cyanide process, Out- |

the drinking of lemon water. Lemon
