AID FROM AN ALBATROSS.
ag most remarkable "dr-
1 in a fftl
an officer of the Eighty-thinl regiment,
now in Indio, to a friend in Montreal.
’Whilst the division of the Eighty-third
regiment, to which the writer belonged,
was on its way to India, being at the
time a short distune.' eastward of the
Cape, one oi. the men was severely
flogged for some slight ofleuse. Mad
dened at the punishment the poor fellow
was no sooner released than, in sight of
all his comrades, he sprung overboard.
There was a high sea running at the
time, and os the man swept on astern
all hope of sating liUp seemed to vanish.
Belief, however, come from a quarter
where no quo ever dreamed of looking
for it 1» fore. During the delay iairtdeol
on lowering a boat, and while the crowd
on deck were watching the form of the
soldier struggling with the boiling waves,
and growing every moment loss distinct,
a large albatross, such as are always
found in those latitudes, coming like
magic, with,, on almost imj
n^tiqnfcjppsp^hedagd^ _
at the man, who, in the agonies of the
death struggle, seized it and held it in
his grasp, and by this means kept afloat
until assistance was reudered from the
vessel. Incredible as this story seems, the
name and position oi the writer of the let
ter, who was an eye-witness o( the scene,
placed its autheut icily beyond doubt!
But for the assistance thus rendered, the
writer adds, no power on earth oonld
have saved the soldier, as, in conseqnenoe
of the tremendous sea running, a long
time elapsed before the beat could be
manned and got down-ell this tiffitihe
man dinging to the bird, whose flatter-
iugs and straggles to escape bore him
up. Who, after this, should despair?
a raging see—s drowning man—on al
batross; what eye couhl see safety un-
d^UMlH cyfsrtBtas#,? Tk tfiljpuq to
rail this chance? Is it hot rather a
lesson intended to stimulate faith aud
hope, and tench us never to despair,
sineo in the darkest moment, when the
waves dash and the winds roar, and a
gulf seems closing over our heads thero
may be an albatross near.
TAKING CAKE OF BABIES.
If you wish to have a healthy and
child yotj, must bathe the baby
twice a day. There is, perhaps, no cross
and irritble man or woman who goes
without a daily bath but would be better
if it were regularly token. Your infant
will be so much more quiet with daily
baths as to fully pay you for your time
and trouble in giving them. It will grow
np stronger and will be more likely to
have cleanly and genteel instincts all
through life. Begin with water that is
moderately warm, oiul change gradually!
very gradually, to colder water, but not
too cold water. A. cool hath will be
more strengthening tlmn if you keep to
the warm
not too dl

1*0IS ON IN EVE HV-11 AY FOOD
Committees of expert* tell of adulter
ation in food that is simply appalling.
Were the ingredients which are mixed
with food innoouons it would still bo a
very great hardship; hut when it is
known that the most violent poisons are
employed it is n marvel I Imj the whole
country docs not rise up i.nd put a stop
to such practices aud punish all dealers
who sell ]K)isonoU8 luiii'lcs of food. If
confirmation of these startling state
ments were needed, one has only to rend
tho facts recently brought to light in
Chicago, where it is impossible to find
pure sugar and win".'" not 10 j>or cent,
of the milk is good. Tn flint city the
bread without exception is poisonous ;
tho teas were never imported, hut are
made of loaves “ faced ” with Prussian
blue nnd chromate of lend. Seventy-
five 1st cent, of the cream of tartar is
white earth, and tho coffee is coated
with lamp-black. But Chicago is no
worse than other cities. Baking pow
ders aro largely composed of alum, |
Pickling fluid is diluted with sulphuric j
acid, nlum aud vordigri* to give it a jw- j
culiar flavor.
Tho manufacture of a great deal of I
our ooufectiunery should be punished
os a crime, for much ol tho candy sold
to children is simply a lump of whitq
earth, made attractive to the eye with
arsepieal paint, and sweetened with glu
cose. Costly spices are counterfeited in
a terribly grotesque manner, th« flavor-
_ _ B _ _ cool bath,
ition comes only when the child is
well, strong and old onoiigh to generate
animal heat. A handful of salt may he
thrown into the bath. Dry tho child
quickly and gently, and dust tho skin
with starch powder that bus no scent
in it.
ts should lie light
the earlier years
—say for three years—a child needs
plenty of warmth. Let tho feet,
abdomen and chest always be health
fully worm. Do not overdo this, how
ever, with heavy garments that will
keep, the child if. a vapor bath of per-
•pinion. .'The flannel dything, as wtli
as other dress of the child, must be fre
quently changed to promote health. All.
the clothing must lie loose enough to
give free play to the vital orgaus.
Be clean in everything pertaining to
your rooms, or you will poison the child
you love, not enough to kill it, jierlmps,
bnt sufficiently to impair vitality and
mako it harder for the child f-j, gve.
Keep tho child clean or \ t will poison
itself. All discharge* from the body are
poisonous daoso from the skin as well
At others. An un;Jcs.*aiit smell that is
perceived about many t^soii*, and in
their apartmeuts, is known as the tutor
humanux, or human odor—that is, the
smell of dead, foul, poisonous matter,
exhaled through the skin, and never
washed from the body.
Neither milk nor drinking water
should lie allowed to stand in <ipeu
vessels, whore it might become contam
inated by tho germs of disease or from
foul or infected air from sinks, drains,
cesspools or other sources. Both milk
and venter readily absorb the germs of
a groat variety of diseases—ns, for
instance, diarrhoea, dysentery, typhoid
fover, diphtheria, etc.
