Of all housewives In Europe proba bly the German is the hardest worked, and of all European mothers the titer- man practices most completely the art of swathing and padding her baby and of putting it on the shelf. The German baby is swaddled in a loug, narrow pil low, which Is made to meet completely round him, being tucked up over Ills feet and turned under bis solemn chin. Three bands of gay blue ribbons ure then passed round tbc whole bundle auil tied tu large, llorld bows about where his chest, Ids waist and his an kles may lie supposed to be. In this guise he can be deposited tM an ornament either on the sumptuous best bed or ou the kitchen dresser or on the drawing room table. How fond the Gerntans are of this presentment of baby may lie guessed from the fact that It figures largely In their picture books, among fbojr dolls and oven In the bakers’ shops at master time, made of dough and covered with sugar, to be devoured, by greedy live babies.— Strand Magnalne LMki After th* crala, A simple Ifiuntratlou w.lfl show the care that Is taken of cents by one of the big batiks of Chicago, Stamped postal cards are not used, and not one of the thousands of routine letters that are written evory day Is stamped or sealed until the whole routine mall of the day Is assembled lu the afternoou.

John Shenick, 220 Ho. Peoria St., Chicago. ‘‘Two years ago during a political campaign, I caught cold after being overheated, which ir ritated my throat nnd I was finally com l>elled to stop, as I could not sjteak aloud. In my extremity a friend ad vised me to use Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. I took'two doses that ufter- noon and could not believe my senses when I found the next morning the in flammation had largely subsided. I took soveral doses that day, kept right on talking through the campaign, and I thank this medicine that I won my seat in the Council."

A German, ho sayH; ns soon as he ar rives at the top wants to know the ex act height of the mountain he is on and of every peak around him. • A Frenchman goes Into raptures over the wildness of the scenery and the beauties of nature and sometimes ac companies his remarks by an attempt to embrace bis guide.
