None of Giese should be reset Led to unless advised by a physician, e.011 he is not likely to sanction their use unless the mother ie " run down " and not sullieiently well nourished. Malt liquors are very often resorted to by mothers for a like purpose, Brewers' genies increase the flow of milk m eOws, but such milk is poor, the relattve quantity of certain cousti talons being considerably re. clamed, rendering it less nourishing and Also more readily doomposeble. Ale and beer have mall the same effect upou nursing mothers, ronderiug their milk more alum. dant, but greatly impairing its quality—a fact that is generally registered 10 the infants if these beverages are indulged in for several days continuously, Wiens and stronger alaoholie liquors may in trome instances atimniate the neevetion of milk, but they give it irritating properties, mul children fed on it are never hardy uor svell nourished, but aro proverbially rest- less, peevish and irriteble.

Cruets tnade of the difl'etent moals are eepeeially imileated as favoring an abundance of milk, and even eow's milk, alone, has a like and gait° 'narked effect. Very many nursing mothers fail to take sufficient exercise, Enid especially in the open air, mid indigestion is oes of the common consequences of this fault, Exercise is im- peratively required to keep the aystem from choking up with waste—the remnants of foods that aro not assimilated, and the pro- ducte of tisane changes that are constantly going on within tho body. If this waste is allowed to accumulate, it 9001.1 U1101E08 Up the system and interferes with the impel! taut organs, which can no louger do their work easily and quiekly as they ought. Tho digestive organs especially are unpleasantly affected in this way, and when sluggish and indolent they can not properly eispose of nearly an muoli food as they might were they vigorous and native. Besides eliminating the svasto matters from the system, exercise in a vttrlay of other ways stimulates the different organs to quicker andbater work.

Very few ponple know how to -bathe, and few bathe suffloiently. Many would like to bathe more than they do, but bwo things prevent. First, they are busy and have little Ulna to spare; next, their work tiros them, aed they aro afraid to lessen their strength and vitality by a froo use of soap and tvater, and some have no bath -room. .

Most of their cargoes were in the storehouse, with a miseellisue- ous nesortment of stuff pioked up at other times—flour, sugar, coffee, tea, clothing, hardware, dry goods, shoes, outlay, wines, and almost everything else ever carried in a cargo. Some of the stuff was badly damaged by rot and mildew, but they had plenty to pick from, and m a couple of weeks had loaded the llopewell with the riehestaiargo she ever carried. .As they tore out one side of the storehouse the better to get at the goods, what WM left after the brig could take no more was converted into abonfire and all tresses of the pirates thus wiped out.

During the past Winter Says The Hospital much horror and surprise has been felt at the numerous deaths from maul starvation which 1111170 been reported in our nowspapets. In spite of the large charity aganizations and the vast amount of money spent in charitable relief, we, with increased oer- Witty, point to the lesson we should all lean, which is that the poor do not want moro of our money, but they want our time and thonghts. Beggars are not those who die of stervation. Begging its a profitable trade because it appeals to the superficial piby of the public, and enables it to satisfy its conscience in the least troublesome and cheapest manner possible. We may pass as generate in otir OW11 estimation for the two- pence we give the beggar, and go 00 our way with the pleasnnt feeling of solf.satisfaction which is cheaply bought at the price, We could not offer the same twopeuoe to the starving father of is family, were we to in. quire into tho ease, nor could WO give it to tho district visitor to distribute; we should feel very mean if we did, and ao we—some of us—are indebted to tho beggar on the whole, Wo do not want to realize poverty tnd misery, to eontirsat with our esvn super- flnity, or sickness with our abundant health.

Every body has heard of the queer little principality of Monaco, of its famous town of Monte Carlo audits Casino, the bleeea of all the gamblers of Europe.

" All who have motley are free to risk here," is their motto. In truth, the Casino is the most, democratic place In Europe. Bridget and the Lobster.
