He lives beyond, the city limits, , in the vicinity of Bright wood and is the eldest of four or fice children; The President spoke to Secretary Manning about provide j ing a place in the Treasury, Pepart ; ment tor the boy; but when the latter, made his appearance before the Sec retary; he. was "pronounced too small to be of any . material J value to the public service. - In vain he insisted that he was capable of performing messenger service equally as well as some of the; able bodied :; men now employed in 'the department,: and that a fair trial would prove the 'coin. rectness of his assertion. " The Secre tary advised his to go back to school and remain until several years more had passed over his head.1 Thereupon Howard repaired to the White House and with tears in his eyes told the President the result of his interview with Secretary Manning. Some one suggested that he would probably be more successful N: with Secretary -Lamar. '1 Off he went to the Interior Department, where he found the Sec- i retary surrounded by, a roomful, of politicians . and - office - seekers.'. . He finally got an ; opportunity to state his case to the kind hearted Secreta ry,' who at onoe became interested in his story-'and promised to help him. Day after day the youthful applicant haunted the corridors of the Interior Department and watched his chance to steal an interview, with the Secre tary when the vigilant "colored mes senger, was not looking.,1 Finally the boy was taken sick and the Secretary, missed his daily. .visits ta his office; One afternoon last week the secreta ry, -upon inquiry found out where the little fellow lived and called to see him; -Finding that : the case was really a deserving one, - he informed the boy's mother that he should have an appointment as soon as he was able-to be about. . The . good news quickly : restored Howard's ; health; and a day or two ago he was appoint' ed a. messenger in the pension, office. , r ; . 'Caring f or Baby. in Summer. Dr. J. H.

It should then be put in a proper receptacle and, placed in a cool place, , or a refrigerator; i whichydoes not contain vegetables. . It should then be prepared .; as: follows: Miht, one half-pint ; pure water,;: one half pint; powdered sugar of milk; one tablespoonful ; phosphafevbf lime, one grainr "Dissolve the sugar and lime in the water and add. the. milk.

During 5 high; .temperature, when the mercury ranges-from 86 to 100 degrees, there is a rapid: decom position of milk; the caseine is rapid ly coaeulated. and.in this cdndition it exerts a peculiar action (catalytic) upon tneotner fSouus oi, me iuujs, particularly upon thevsugar, forming lactic acid.

No one had "any, thought' that, .having been down so low!, he would ever rise again:; But the stuff that makes men rise v as in him. 'After a w hile New Yorkers heard that a magnificent br, the most elaboratq.and costly in the city, ! hadr been opened in - the Hoffman House, -with Ed. .

' The blocks are all of the same, size, about eight inches by twelve, and about half an inch, thick. ; Each block represents two leaves of four-, pages or-tne dook, oemg engravea on both sides. The blocks for a complete work can thus be stowed away in . a very small compass, i .The . cost of en graving a page of :the wooden block is said to be but little more than the ex pense of setting Up a page of Chinese type, and preparing it for ; the press. An edition of one 'cbpy can be printed if no more are required, and thus the expense of keeping a large stock " of printed books on hand, some of which might eventually have to be sold as waste paper when they grew' out of date or royisions have to be made, as is the case among burselyes, isehtire ly avoided. Any errors or misprints that may be discovered can, as a rule be corrected on the blocks with ' but very little trouble. A skillful printer can print by hand' 5,000 leaves of two pages each in a day, Using no press or machinery whatever.
