The blood is driven back from the extrem ities, the heart beats with violence, the face is sutrused with color, nud the unfortunate Lnbv screams i:i agony. How easily this might have been prevented by tho exercise of a little Cuiuhou ifj sense. r.ut, as babies will certainly continue, in spite of wholesome advice, to have prevent able diseases, and colic among them, let an additional word give comfort in tho form of Tt medr. When the baby screams and draws up its "little legs in agony, don't spend time in turning and twisting it over, and jiatting its back; instrud, prepare a stimulating tea, hy taking a pinch of black pepper to a tea cupful of hot water, and administer it iu rpooi-fu's. warming the tiny feet at the same time, and layit'g a warm hand over the stom nch, geutly prc&s it l-ack and forth, kneading it c it were. I5abys cries will speedily ceaso, and ukjiersion of wind follow; it w-ill Jtrctch out its little limbs and reward you with a smile; but unhappily not prof iting bv exiVJ-ieiice, it will (if tho mother be equally unteachabu-i, gobble over its next meal i: the u-ual fashion, and proclaim re-1-entance by bitter cries. And no wonder! for out of ten attacks of colic nine at least are due to the mother's incompetency. Janet II Una! rUs ia iXuiortst's Monthly. Care of the Tcetti.

J Uioally no call Is made upon the dentist, except for an aching tooth too far gone for any remedy but extraction. Ruch parents can hardly lo made to see the benefits to be ! derived from the filling of such temporary teeth. To them let trie UaO the words of a dentist: "Attend to them, because they need them for daily u.-kj. Attend to them, because ; in so doing we shall prevent much pain and i sickness. Attend to them, because by these ! means the nutritive processes will be carried on better, and tho health, growth and devel opment of the child will be better than it would be without them. Tho care and atten tion bestowed 114 -on the deciduous teeth will help the regularity and development of the permanent." Weak nutrition produces soft tectli. We fchould extend the saving principle to 1 the temjiorary teeth, und attempt to restore them when di.seu.scd, in order to retain them fts long as nature has use for them. Prema ture removal may cause irregularity in the permanent by tho contraction of tho jaw, also if retained too long after they have fjrown Useless to mother nuture, they may cause irregularity in the jiernianeut; so wise parents w ill consult their dentist at the first feigns of disease or crowding and distress. A Dentist's Wife in Good Housekeeping. Wouldn't I.Uteu to Gontlp. Mrs. Chase, of w hom the story was told, was n wise woman; he had liscovei-el early in life that there are some gossips anil scandal mongers who cannot le suppressed by polite menus, but whose disagreeable stock in trade must bo poiiiti.iily ignoroiL Therefore, when a malicious story was mentioned in her pres enile sho became conveniently deaf. One day a woman much older than herself, whom sho would gladly have treated with respect, confided to her u choice bit of social scandal. Mrs. Chaso impassively sewed on and said nothing. "Well, w hat do you think of it, my dear?" asked the tale bearer, imiuttiently. "Oughtn't they to be ashamed to live in the stylo they do when they actually haven't enough to pay their debts." Mrs. Chase held up her work and gazed at it in absorbed interest. "Xo-.v would you make this rose white or pink?1 she a&ked, innocently. "Don't try to change tho subject," re torted the other. "If you don't want to ex press an opinion you needn't, but you can say anything to nie, you know. I shan't re peat it." "Do you know," said Mi-s. Chase, in an ap parent burst of confidence, "I really didn't hear a word you said! Years ago I began the practice of trying to think of something else as soon as people attempt to gossip, and I've succeeded so well that now I can really make myself stone deaf to what I ought not to hear." Tho recipient of this confidence was, as a matter of course, offended, but she had learned her lesson; never again did she pour unwelcome news into those deaf ears. Youth's Companion. Marriage in Haste. The recklessness with which tho admirer of a pretty face and nimble tongue elects her to tho position of arbiter of his and his chil dren's destinies, is the most monstrous obstacle in advance of tho race toward per fectibility. A man chooses his dentist with care; be will not engage a groom w ho has no creden tials beyond a neat figure and glib utterance; he pays for the "search" that establishes the validity of his title to his house; and, when it is bought, has an expert to look into drainage and plumbing; he will not buy a boree or dog unless he knows something of his pedigree and points. He will, and does, fall iti hne with a girl's neat ankles and bewitching lisp, and await the honest "first year" of married life to find out that sho has nothing but fixed air and fi-oth in her head, 710 trongth of any kind anywhere except what Iks iu a. ir,ijhj liko pertinacity to her own petty purposes, that "mocks, at reason, and will none of argument. Tho mobt un manageable force in nature is a fool. And, as a taper looses nothing of brightness in igniting a dozen other taeis, the foolish jvifu and mother, iu multiplying her folly through her progeny, grows rather than diminishes iu assijiinity in entering upon what would be with seiisible matrons maturity, Marion limiand in Philadelphia Times. ' Industrial Training: for Girl. I find that practically, while it is clearly held in view that women are to receive a support m marriage it is not so clearly incul cated that tny ar to earn it marriage affording the opp rtunity for jbmplpj'ment, aiu! a compensation, not in wages regulated by tlie market price, but in a share of the husband's income. Th tnith is, thq aimless way in which girb stiend the years interyen iiig between leaving school and their marv riago, in mere seeking after anuisenjents or in dosultory employments that may be more or less useful, but which tho world would i.it':.'r do without than pay a living price for, has the -f?ct of leaving their ideas of earning anything at any tinij Fery indistinct indeed certainly a poor prepaj-atlon for a state of Ji.fo in which most women must' do a very real and vuiuabje share of work ! A well assorted marriage is, no dzubt, the fcrtnpiest state of life; but it by no means fvl'lows flint marriage always affords the plriasautesc flelo". fpr earning a living; and if young wo:neu had the industrial training that would allow them to make a Lh.Qiee, this fact would avail more to prevent unworthy aud loveless marriages, entered into for the saks pt r support, than all the exhortations of moralists. I4'j.pa day iu Woman. Cliooiin? a Husband. Husbands are not made to oi'der; they just grow. To get a good ouo you-have to know him when you see him. He may not look like the man your fancy painted, yet you will recognize in him the qualities that go to make up tho reliable, enterprising, amia ble man. As a rulo women are not possessed of acute business minds, and ore not as observant cs they might be. One after an other thoy will fall jnto the same open trap, just as though they were blindfolded or were impelled by some uncontrollable force. The majority of them seem to think they must marry, nud all that is necessary is to find a man who is good looking or rich. The average girl first takes a. fancy to a pretty man, and thinks and dreams of his lovely hair, charming eyes, elegant 'dress, divine mustache aud dove like voice. She declares that he is too sweet for anything. T"h f..vpr T4Pi4 nfT in limA. till f. tiui nfton 1 leaves a perverted taste. A dandy figure, swell manners, and clattering tongue ore apt to outweigh a good heart, industrious haoits and moral worth. Even after mar riage visions of the early ideal rise up to dis turb the serenity nnd tranquillity of the domestic scene. Cetter such an ideal bad tcver been formed. Pittsburg Chronicle. Hint to an Anxious Mother.

Merely to stop talking of sickness to an Invalid and to prevent one from talking about bis pains Is to check a powerful source of illness. "Madam," I asked of a lady who brought her daughter to my consulting room somo weeks ago, "are you alarmed about your daughter" "Very much," doctor." "And you often ask her how she feels?" "Yes, I suppose so." "Will you do me the favor to mark a stroke upon this jiaper eueh time that you ask her how fhe is, to-morrow, madam f" "Yes, I will try to." And next day, to her incredulous aston ishment, sho made 10t) strokes. A three months' visit away from home was advised, and the pale, hysterical, feeblo girl will have a chance to recover. William F. Hutchinson, M. D., in American Magazine. A 1 1 ami j LMkliifttClaut. Coffee is a handy and harmless disinfect tant. Exjeriments have been made in Pari:! to prove this. A quantity of meat was hung' up in u closed room until decomposed, and then a chafing dish was introduced and five hundred grammes of coffee thrown on th lire in a few minutes tho room was itoni pletely dLsirfecteiL In another loom sul phuretted hydrogen and ammonia er developed, and ninety grammes of coffee de stroyed the smell in about half a minute. It is also stated that coffee destroys the smelt of musk, castoreuni aud assafirtidu. As a proof that the noxious smells are really de composed by the fumes of coffee, and not merely ovei-powered by them, it is stated that the first vapors of the coll"ee wero not smelt at all, and are therefore chemically absorbed, while tho other smells gradually diminish as the fumigation continues. The best way to effect this fumigation is to pound the coffee in a mortar, and then strew it ou a hot iron plate, which, howevrr, must not be red hot. Herald of Health. A Charming A proa. A very charming little apron may be made according to the following directions: Take a yard of Swiss muslin with a.polka dot about three-eighths of an inch In di f.meter. Tear off the strings, make a hem three or four inches wide and work three I'ows of dots across the apron above the tiem, like daisies. Yellow daisies .with brown centers are pretty, or white ones with pale yellow centers. Use the wash floss in work ing the daisies and the apron can be used for a long time, if not boiled. Make ribbon strings if preferred. This apron takes about three skeins of silk for the leaves and two for the centers of the daisies. Make sixteen leaves to each daisy, using four strands of silk in working. Woman. Outdoor Life for Women. Dr. Sawyer believes in the "camp cure' for women as well as men. He has known tent life to cure nervous women when all other resources failed. One of the women weut to a lonely Western lake in May, as soon as the weather permitted, and took up her abode in two wall tents, with servants in a log hut near by. One of the tents was warmed by a small stove, The outside world was heard from only once in two weeks. She took an interest in botany and photography, and as her strength increased learned to fish, shoot, row and swim. When the first snow fell anil camp was broken she was a thoroughly well woman. Girls should be encouraged to romp out of doors, like their brothers. Cincinnati Commercial Ga zette. Ventilation tf Cellars. In tho ventilation of cellars the mistake is frequently made of inti-cducing air from without which is considerably warmer than that contained within them. Instead of making them cool aud airy, which is tho de sired object, they ai'e thereby rendered warm and damp, for the warm air, although raising the temiH.Tatui'e of that in the cellar, is itself cooled and deposits its moisture, which soon mokes itself evident as palpable dampness. Consequently in warm weather the ventila tion of cellars should be cai ried on at night, tho cellar being kept closed between suurite and sunset. Globe-Democrat. "Good i'urui" at Table. To be thoroughly ''good form'' at tablo is considered tho '"cream;" the very height of jreSnement; and although we have 6aid that n:ip.ny"ruies are difficult to observe by reason of their frequent change, there are others again, that are immutable; and not to follow them is to argue ourselves unknown, so far as society goes. To take soup, pushing the spoon from, rather than towards you; to touch the napkin as littlo as possible; to ac cept or decline what is offered instantly and quietly; the&a and other trifles are tests of the well bred diner-out. Tillic May Forney. Iter Social Apcount. A lady examines the cards ou her hall table as a merchant reads his daybook or ledger. It is her recoi-d of social bankruptcy or soundness. Somo ladies have so large an acquaintance that they go to protest at once, and hope that by giving some large recep Sons next winter they may pay their debts. In all cases the little white messen gers, called cards, are the' ready money of social intercourse. Mrs. M. E. W. Sher wood. No matter how large the spot of oil, any carpet or woollen cloth' can te cleaned by applying buckwheat, plentifully and faith fully, bnishing it into a dust pan after a uhotl fciuie, i.ui putting on fresh until tho oil has all disappeared.

Ringworms often come on the healthy skin without "any apparent cause or provoca tion," are very stubborn, and will yield to but few remedies, but borax will effectually cure them. Wash with a strong solution three times a day, and dust over the fine, dry powder. An obstinate, willful child should be com manded and forbidden less than one more yielding, while they are very young; it is never wise to arouse obstinacy.

Caitle Cardan Arrival mm Tbtjr Appear la S.U 1'aal, 9 Minn. Swedes and Nor wegians A Ills ramjlj- New Camera Greeted by I'rlends. The tide of immigration into Northern Minnesota, Dakota and th far Northwest flows through St. Paul. The immigration ns to its character may lo broadly divid.-d into two classes foreign imtiiigrnl iuii and immi gration from Yunkeedom. Each branch is handled differently, and is kept distinct. The incoming representatives of the monarchies of Eui'0ie journey along together, and the migL'atory p-oplo from the eastern states travel similarly by themselves. Atid so they seldom fall in with each other. It almost might be said that there uro two ftrtains of immigration; but this would Ihj hardly cor rect, us they are all g''ing in the same direc tion, and will probably mingle at their destination. The Castlo Garden arrivals are to lie found at the Emigrant house nt the Union di iot. Of tho half hundred or more mi n, women and children who wero waiting about th-: place for trains to take them further west, there waj not a single ici'wh it may s-em strange, but it id a fact not a single one that I unarmed would hesitate to meet i:i tho street on a dark night. The faces were all intelligent; not a really bad faeo in thj lot. They are worthy Scandinavians and Germans. An emigrant l.c-t l. ;. :.tc -...... i.i...t.i tion at a point, like tins hcrt there are large numliers of emigrants changing trains. The foreigners must be kept to thcur-elves for various reasons, nnd one reason is that very few of them speak English, and therefore to keep on the right track all the time they must hang together ur.d keep in constant communication with the polyglot emigrant p-isseuger agents as they go along from place to place. Furthermore, they have to be pro. tectcd against sharks of various species, and particularly against the. boarding house sharks, who would like to get them outside, fill them with aqua f'ortis, and work them down to their last hard earned nickel. BIO FAMILIES. Tho emigrant room is in tho long brio!: annex at the Union dejiot, at tho north of the bheds. Hero is an ai-i ay of old country co.-.- tumes and characteristics bright colors an ! ' odd cuts of garments quite liewildering t'i the senses. The agent w ho is skipping about, tho room reading the tickets of the immi grants for them, and answering questions in five or six different languages at tho rate of 9,000 a minute, pauses long enough to inform mo that a family of nine and ten children may lie found waiting in the emigrant room almost any day. "The run is higher than that sometimes," he said, with a nod, "but the3' very seldom go beyond fifteen. There was one man through hero with thhtj'-two children in his train last season. One wife) Oh, no; it was his third wife he had with him; but then, you see, with three wives the average was ten ami two-thirds children each." The majority of the immigrants (perhaps it would be more proper to call them transi grants) in the l-oom are Swedes and Norwe- j gians. Tho young men are of the peasant I and farmer class lusty young fellows, with j broad shoulders and finely developed l'mbs, ' black buckskin pea jackets. Some of them have families along with them, but the ma- i jonty are single young chaps.

Ouo gets the impression that tra:icigra:it are forever eating, Whjlu ihcy ure wail iiig in tho emigrant houw they open up wide mouthed carpet sacks, a:d from the cavern ous depths thereof out great loaves of rye bread, bologna sausages and dried meats. I'h young men carry enormous clasp knives with blades six inches long, and which they use with great deliberation in wljittlh.g up their rations pic-tio by piece as they eat. Meanwhile the babies are playing about the floor, ti:id feeding 011 cookies at the same tints.

It is quite curious to watch nowcoincro as they greet friends who cotno i:i to sec theui. Tlw newcomers ara anything but "spni.-e"' in appearance. They are roughly clad.

The ''bad, Wiird societies'' that have sprung ! up lately in the New England suhools art by i no means to be laughed at. They may do a ; great deal of good, and that good is of a : nature that generally lies beyond the reach of teachers. There are few play grounds ; attached to boys' schools in this country j where language is not constantly used which ' would grieve and astound the mothers oi j those who utter and those who. kpar them. ' i The rules of the Bad "Vord society are ; usually not written down; but they are som&". thing like this: "One cent fine for every bad word spoken; every lioy to report his owrj ' bad words to the treasurer and pay up; nq telling of any other bey's lad words; thij money to go to the school library." This is simple and practical. Perhaps the . scheme might lie enlarged a little so as to in clude the grosser forms of bad grammar, such as "I done it.' "them cabbages," and "you was." It is highly absurd that the boys who have been going to a grammar school for years should violate the most liidi rnental laws of grammar every tinis they speak ten consecutive words.
