The steamer seemed: as though it had been lifted out of the water. There was a report as though some great cannon had been fired off in their very ears. Looking along the: deck, it suddenly seemed to Thomson that her bows were pointing to the sky. The after portion, where they were seated, was vibrating and shaking as though they had struck a rock, and only a few yards away from them,towards the middle of the boat, the end of the skin: was riven bare to the heavens. Timbers were creaking and splinter- ing in every direction.

I3.aa lies in his crib and kicks and pl'tys or deeps, and all he asks is his food at the proper time, his regular bath, fresh air and plenty of clean. dry clothes. My care of him is mostly hail worli in the kit,hen, but thio seems much better and easier to tare than the constant care of a fretful hahy. I believe I have proven satisracter- ily that this is true: the cleaner the milk the better the baby. There ere three things always to keep in mind concerning it: Clean, Cool, Covered, I have a large porcelain kettle .with a cover•. which I use only for the pur- pose of sterilizing, and I have lots of faith in any kettle. Everything that comes in contact with baby- food must; be boiled. Milk kept in this way has} a delightful fragrance and taste. Wel use about a gallon a day for the three,; the older ones drinking all they want. i One has to experiment at first to find whether the milk istoo rich or! not. If so, it may be skimmed a little,; though _ .v babies take very riot milk.'' During the clay the food is warmed by setting the bottle in warm water, and testing for the right tennperature, 1 but the nipple should never be put in one's'mouth. The problem of warm -i ing the food at night may be solved by buying a baby bottle warner, which heats it in warm water also, thus avoiding the danger of constipa- tion. My milk fed babies are my pride, and though I must work so hard to keep then well and growing, in their rosy cheeks and bright eyes I find a blessed reward for my -labor. Household Hints.
