Britain itself—including Ireland—
amounts in round numbers to no more than
a hundred and twenty thousand nquareThe
miles. Tee area of the entire empire
amounts to nearly nine million square milee,
In other words Britain rules a territory,
roughly speaking, ceventy-five time as
great as itself. Another writer mato it this
way : 11 yen Were to take seventy•five
Englands, oeventy-five Scotlands, seventy-
Waleses, and seventy-five Irelands, and
stick them all together side by side, you
would have an area just about equal to that
of the whole existing Btitish empire, In
the mime way it is probable that our Brit-
fob race, as a whole, the' wide world over,

a hundred millions of souk, But of these,
more than half, `Or genie fifty millions, live

We are counsel for the plaintiff, and we rest
the strength of our cam on Meer testimony.
Said a young mother to me one day, "1
have jut been to a lecture on i The Care
or Infants,' and I am frightened, horrified
at my own praoticee."
"What is alarming in your practices 1"
"The lecturer weaned especially againet
the use of viny alcoholic etimulants about
the child, either externally. We were
told that by administering alcolaol to in-
fante a tendency toward alotholization
could bo produced. Now, my beby has al.
wale had alcohol in the water in which he
was bathed, and every night he had a
sling ' before I put him to bed."
"And what induced you to begin tech
practices ?"
"1 knew nothing about babiefe I bad
no mother to advise me, ,My monthly
nurse began that way with baby. I 0t1-Oftentimea
pcsed she knew what was exactly night,
mad I went on as she began. She is called
very skillful. But from this day on, I

I suppose if I had mentioned my methods
to other mothers, either they would have
e.pproved, no doing the same thing them-
selves, or they would have been. meant, as
not withing to interfere with my affairs,th
In eix months I may have seriously injured
my child."
Careful investigation proves to rae that
eapecially in cities, the monthly nurse
makes large use of alcohol in treating the
baby. La me take the case of one whom,
mea culpa, I engaged for a young relative.
This nurse put a liberal pertien of whie-
ky into the writer of the child's both, "10
keep the infant from Miring cold." Sl,
eme
wet the babe's flannel bandage with brandy,
" to strengthen its stomach," and if it
cried ; she prepared a gin sling " to raise
the wind." Eaoh night she gave the little
one a etroug sling " to make it sleep."
She did not think that the stipend of
twelve dollars weekly paid her for being
lieturbed at night, and, in plain speech,
the put the nuroling asleep drunk every
light. The conaequence woe that it wee
me heavily ashiep to ea maned to muse,
and the young mother, having a large
supply of natural food for her babe, was at

Flowers that Bloom,
BY ANNIE L. JACK.

iums grow and flourish thould be bright

they revel in the imushine that conies to our
clear Canadian climate in early March.
It is a plant adapted for window garden -
hog or for out door culture, and will start
easily in a moist warm atmosphere from
very tiny es:Mingo. These outtingo must
have two joints, and are le oo likely to damp
off if laid :nide before planting for a few
days, as the broken end heals over and
prevents the sap inciaming. If otack around
the rim of the pot they will often root if one
doeo not want many pla,nts, as the heat from
the pot gives the added warmth. To make

large plants give pkntifu ,
it is necessary to keep them from blooming
much during the summer season. This CUM

giving but a scanty supply of water. There
is a great difference in the length of time a
floret of geranium remains in bloom, Some
of them, particularly the single white, hard-
by hold a, day, while others, at the single rose
pink, retain the floret on the stem 1 or three,
and even four weeks. They require a rich,
loamy mil, and a bed ef the gay scarlet or

crimson flowers massed together and edged
with some of the silver leaved centaureas,
