The requirements for the layette differ with how much the baby is to appear in public. The first one I found adequate when I helped my mother with her resort business, The second was sufficient when the baby got his fresh air on the porch, and went very seldom. Six dresses, two flannel petticoats, two muslin petticoats, four night- dresses, three pairs wool stockings, four pair bootees, three wool shirts, six wool bands, two wool sacks, two coats, two caps, two cashmere squares, one blanket, one carriage robe, two pair of cotton crib blankets, one rub- ber sheet, four pairs rubber diapers, ten diapers one yard square, sixteen diapers 22x22 inches. Three dresses, four flannel petti- coat::, one muslin petticoat, four cot- ton flannel petticoats, four night. dresses, three pair wool stockings, one pair bootees, two cotton flannel ki- monas, three wool shirts, three wool bands, one coat with hood attached, one cashmere square for blanket,. one blanket, two pair of crib blankets, ane rubber sheet, one pair of rubber diap- er, ten diapers one yard square, six- teen diapers 22x22 inches. The kimona style for dresses and nightgowns is the easiest to make and iron. I like the dresses made with a narrow insertion turned back on the neck and sleeves, and a narrow edge finish. By running in narrow ribbons the sleeves and neck can be easily made to fit the changing neck and arms and conceal the little shirts. A bath or carriage pad made by doubling a yard and a half of Turkish toweling is very handy. One end is left open and a piece of rubber sheet- ing is fastened inside with tiny pins. Heavy lace of a crocheted edge of heavy thread is a nice finish.—Mrs. R. J. V. trinized. Cut the toast in strips'' or halves as desired and serve with "tea and trimmings." Note that it is but- tered above and below the cinnamon. The whole point is to get a soft, but- tery paste, not a hard dry mass. EV EN CRUMPLED WAX PAPER.

Dr. Christian P. Neser, of Onderste- poort, South Africa, declares he has found a way to determine the endur- ance of a racehorse more scientifically than has hitherto been possible., He finds that the red blood cor- puscles in the animal increase as its ability to stand hard strain increases, so that, other things being equal, the horse with the highest blood count has the best chance of winning. Horses used in ordinary work, states Dr. Neser, have only 23 per cent. of red corpuscles in their blood, while horses trained for the course often have as much as 62 per cent. ,cd corpuscles are oxygen carriers, and when a horse has many of them he can run longer and faster, because his muscles can draw on a large re- serve of oxygen, and be therefore does not tire so quickly.
