Senator Piatt, of New York, tells an
interesting story of the contribution
made by the. lute C. P. Huntington to

tew days before the election Mr. Jiiikins,
Jdr. Clarkson, Mr. Carter, Mr. Jones and

did so, and Mr. Piatt came to see Mr.
Huntington tne next uuy, buwiwuu,.,
their appeals with great earnestness and j
making it a personal matter. VV hen Mr.
Huntinclon inquired wny no was &u
much interested, Mr. Piatt explained
that in the event or Harrison eietuuu
he was to be secretary of the treasury.
'If 1 was Bure you would be secretary
of the treasury I would give them that
$100,000," said Mr. Huntington.
1 have General Harrison's assur
ance," Mr. Piatt replied, and then, re
lated the circumstances that occurred
at the Chicago convention, where the
New York delegation left Sherman and
supported Harrison upon the assurance
from the latter, brought by Senator El
kins, that Mr. Piatt might have his pick
of all the appointments under the admin
istration. Mr. Piatt informed Mr. El
kins that there was only one office he
would accpet, and that was the head of
the treasury department. Mr. Elkins
carried the message to Indianapolis, and
returned the next morning, saying that
it was all right. Mew York threw its
vote for Harrison and he was nominated.
After the election, when he was mak

refused to appoint Mr. Piatt. He calim

If you want to keep your children in
good health this hot weather, you must
relax the rigidity of your rules of "early
to bed," which are very well in winter,
pprjng and autumn, and not at all good
in August. "Ve would be wise if we
could arrange the)-business cf life to
take a siesta in the hottest pat of a
sunny August day say from 2 to 3
ft ClOCK
If possible, keerr1 the little ones out of
the direct rays of the fierce sun during
these hours. Jet them piay in some
semi-dark or shady place, and never
mind if they displace or upsft the pa r-
lor furniture if it keeps the mcuD of the
heat.
! Then, when the sun goes down, let the
' little ones stay up awhde and ea.ioy tho

remand them mercilessly to the pent-up
heat of a bed-room, but let them cool off
if possible out of doors. An extra hour
of sitting up late is desirable in such hot
weather, because it-gives little folks a
(chance of outdoor play without peril of
sun-stroke.
Remember that rules for putting chil
dren early to bed are of no value unless
administered with judgment. The hour
of wakefulness ia the evening can be
made up at the other end of a night's
rest. Close the curtains of the room
where the little sleeper lies, early in the
sunrise, if you are awake. It is so tedious
for a child to be put to bed just when
the cool of the evening cornea to refresh
him. Some mothers seem to put the
children early to bed with the idea that
it is wise to "get them out of the way,"
but itis not a good place when the mer
cury climbs in the nineties.
Before putting tb.3 little child to bed,
remove every article of clothing worn
during the day. Don't let the under
shirt be retained. Probably it is soaked
with perspiration. Get castlle soap and
warm water and bathe the child with
pponge or wash cloth from head to foot;
especially bathe around the shoulders
at the back of the neck, under the chin
end beneath the arms and knees, and
wash the tired little feet thoroughly.
This rests the child and prepares it for
slumber.
