How to rvT the CinuriEv to Red.
-Not with a reproof for any of that day's
sins of omission or oommiwiun. Take any
other time but bed time for that. If yon
ever heard a little creature sighing and
tubbing in its leep. you could never do
his. Seal their cl.wing eyelids with a kisa
and a blowing. Tie time will come, all
too soon, when they will lay their heads up
on their pillow baking both. Let thorn
then at least have their sweet memory of
a happy childhood, of which no future sor
row or iroiblo can rob them. Give them
their rosy youth. Nor need this Involve
wild license. The judicious parent will
not so mistake my meaning. If yon hsve
ever met the man or woman whoso eyes
have suddenly filled when a little child has
crept trustingly to its mother's brcaat. yon
may have seen nnn in t..,m el.ii,n..uui'.

KTAtiX AXT WATEr'aXD MILK,
It has bren kuowa for a long time that
milk left standing in a room where patients
aro tick boof ines permeated with tbe sub
tle poison of the disease. Contagion has
also been spread through milk, by reason
of persons attending from sickness attend
ing to the labor of tho dairy. -The kind of
grass or fodder oo which tha cows feed al
so give a peculiar flavor and quality to
their milk. In addition to these facte, it
has recently been demonstrated that the
mot startling e.vequenoc may ensue
f.O'tt the animals drinking stagnant water. '"
Profejwr Iw, of Cornell University, has
examined, with a microscope, milk of an
unusual, repy appearance, and found it
full of those fungi, or vegotablo organisms,
that abound in stagnant water. On inqni
ry, he fonnd that the cows from whieh it
eame had only stagnant water to drink, ,
and further investigation revealed the fact
that the blood of the animals teemed with
these fungi, and that the cows wiira in a
feverWi. unhealthy condition. The warn
ing which I hts discovery ought to convey
is very simple. It is the duty of dairy
men to see that their cattle havo a supply
of pure, sweet water. 3Vy no anch a
ereat quantity of water that a judicious
concern ( the health of tho Community

they were froxen ; close tho window
shutters or drop the curtain, to at to mako
the room quite dark; then sprinkle the
planta with cold water direct from the cis
tern, and wait the result. Do not allow,
the room to become warmer than fortv. .
seven degrees for twenty-four hours. If a
few drops of spirits of camphor ire thrown
into tho dish of water before sprinkling, it
will be all tho better. Plant trcatod In.
this way, though frota to badly that tho 1
water will free so on when sprinkled, vat
by keeping the room dark tad cool for tn
entire day, they will come out Unharmed..
