Bestow plenty of praise; children like to be told they have done a thing well, and it stimulates them to greater effort. Be careful not to praise work that you know has been carelessly done. The child knows that he has not put forth effort, and generally your look of disappointment is not forgotten, and the careless work is not repeated. But his activity should not be all work. The child needs more hours for play than for work, and it is our duty to- furnish him with toys and books suitable to his age and taste. • the child knows the name of familiar objects, and can walk, he can be taught to do little things for mother, such as bringing her thread or thim- ble, dust pan, rubbers, etc., and these duties should enlarge as the child sweetened raspberries; garnish with a meringue made from the stiffly beaten white of one egg and three tablespoon- 'rtils of pulverized sugar-.

I know of no more thought- less or careless action than to "cuff" a child on the side of his head, for it is not at all uncommon for injury to re- sult to the hearing apparatus of the child. There is nothing more dis- astrous than to allow a child to rock back and forth in his high chair, to play about an unguarded staircase or to frequent an open window. I know that there are some people in this world who think that if they feed the children, clothe them and send them to school that that is'th sum total of their responsibility, Accidents are going to continue to come, Most of us break an arm or a leg and half the world are carrying some sort of a scar of childhood ad- . venture; but let us avoid all that can be avoided by securing the right kind of high chairs, by protecting open windows and low porch rails and by teaching our youngsters to climb trees thoughtfully and painstakingly. Hot Fomentations. Fomentation is the name given to the process of applying flannel wrung out in hot water to some part of the body for the sake of relieving irrita- tion or congestion. Many virtues are claimed for this Profits are often without honor r r one's own country. It is a poor heart and a poorer age that cannot ace,pt the conditions oi life with some heroic readiness. simple hygienic measure—especiaaay for fomentations of the abdomen—• among them the relief of sleepless- ness, correction of constipation, eas- ing of headache, relief of indigestion, of sciatica and other nervous mala- dies. In whatever measure it may fall short of the many extravagant claims made for it, there is no doubt that the application of a fomentation in the above and in other conditions does produce soothing and beneficial effects, The method is to take a piece of flannel, about one-quarter ;of the size of a sheet, and fold it several times. Then lay it in a basin and pour Over • it all ,Of the l.iping loot al err it "will''' soak up, Wring it, out, is a teevel until 'no water drips from the flannel and it is simply damp. Take it out of the towel, Iay it over the abdomen of the person to be relieved. Cover the flannel with another piece of dry flannel, several layers thick. The person being treated should be warmly covered up and allowed to rest until the flannel begins to cool, when it should be taken off and the same process repeated. Care should be taken not to allow the person to catch cold. Furthermore, he should not be talk- ed to violently. The fomentation should be an opportunity for rest, as well as for other relief. It is well to take the treatment before going to bed, or else at a time when complete relaxation lying down may be indulg- ed in for some period following the treatment. Thus the kinks get smoothed out, not only of the abdomen and of the nerves, but of the mind and of the disposition, ANCIENT CANOPUS FOUND. Excavations in Egypt Uncover An- cient City of Ptolemy. The site of Canopus, one of the most ancient cities of. Egypt, has been found, according to Daninos Pasha,, who claims the honor of making the discovery. For many years he has maintained that its site lay some- where in the region of Aboukir Bay, and apparently his contention is now proved to be correct. Before the foundation of Alexandria, Canopus was the commercial capital of the country and the most import- ant religious centre in lower Egypt, Excavations have already brought to light a great public bath of the Ptolemaic period, about 160 feet in ength. It is divided into twenty hambers, of which the largest is bout 24 feet long and• of the same width, There are rooms for various orms of baths, such as hip and mud aths, and a large hall which was evi- ently used for massage purposes and he preparation of aromatic oil. Bronze coins found in various rooms bear the effigies of Ptolemy Soter, Ptolemy Energates and Queen Bere- nice. Of the several statuettes un- earthed, the most interesting is that of a Chinese figure, which shows, it is contended, that in the dim past re- lations must have existed between China and this ancient capital of Egypt. The: worst kind of failure is the failure that is the result of only halal trying. esker4•,,.
