The Children's Sleep. A physician in an address before a Women's club on the care of children's lalth, recently said that it is criminal attempt to save a little money by giving every child in the family -d to himself. The physician also 1 hasized the need of early sleep. ] I -t is so easy,” he said, “to let a j evening, nervous child when lose he sleep in should the early be j or she hard at it. When a physician pre- scribes some important remedy that must be taken and which is not pleas- j aut, a mother feels that it is time well j expended to coax and wheedle, and I even bribe the little one to swallow it. j Spend in getting just as much thought and effort j your child to sleep every i night, if he does not fall off bin ehair i at the evening meal from drowsiness, j as the normal child should. Give up concerts, until theaters, parties, anything j you have secured for the nervous, ; twitching boy or girl the benign habit of sleep. Coax him to his room, give I liim a quick sponge bath, tuck him in ; his single bed, with a light wool j blanket over him besides the sheet, and in a lowered light sit by him and | talk to him till he is quieted. Tell him gentle, soothing stories, nothing to excite his imagination, and when he is finally asleep, have the room cool, dark and quiet. Don’t let .him try to sleep in a room which has been a sit¬ ting room all the evening, without having it thoroughly refilled with fresh outdoor air, which may be accomplish¬ ed by throwing windows wide open for "‘-een minutes.”—Womankind.

XAV.WO <M»1 IN BLANKETS. Most 15 , . Jttfol Work of It* Kind In The World. The Nav. Jo Indian of New Mexico and Arizona, i Charles F. Lummit in “The Land uusWjre," cannot vie with the mode ortt 1 i r jgs, nor with the extinct Yu In fib .urs but WlfPB it comes to b *he can d/v lilt w ® r hL Or her, he eo 1—for :t i nearly a generation since a Navajc blanket of strictly the first class ha; been created. Here Is a lost art—not because the N’avajoes no longer know how, but because they will no longer lake the trouble. They make thou sands of blankets still—tliiek, coarse, fuzzy things which are the best camp lug blankets to be had anywhere, nr.d most comfortable robes. But of the ait perl) old ponchos and zarapes for chiefs—those iron fabrics woven f»m vaycta (a Turkish cloth imported spe dally for them and sold nt ju; n pound, unravelled by them, and Its thread re- Incarnate In nn infinitely better new body), not One has been woven In twon- ty years. It Is n loss to the world; but the collector who began in time can hardly be philanthropist enough to la¬ ment the deterioration which lias made it impossible that even the richest rival shall ever be able to match his tre-ui uros. There are still Navajos (20,000 of them) anil there Is still vayeta; and as there are people who would give $501 for an absolutely first-class vayeta blanket, you might fancy that the three things would pool. But that Is to for¬ get the Navajo. lie Is a barbarian, tc Whom enough Is an elegant sufficiency, By wearing the cheat) and wretched blankets of to-day -wretched, that is, as works of art -he can get all the money he desire Why, tbon, toil a twelvemonth over a blanket for $500 (which more coin than he can linag- Ine anyhow) when a week’s work will bring $5? The art of the Navajo blanket Is ns old as Plymouth Rock—and almost ns bigoted. You can tell a genuine just ns far as you can see It. It Is a curious fact, known to tbe student, that when left to himself the Indian never blun- tors in color. It Is only when too long rubbed with our shoddy civilization and poisoned with the ease and cheap- ness of our aniline dyes that he perpe- trates atrocities. Ills eye for color is elemental and absolutely correct. Red is king- and no magenta, mauve oi 'ake, but true red. Blue Is good, be- cause it stands for the sky; and green, because it Is the grass; nn<l yellow for the sun, and white for the clouds and snow-ami these are the only colors found in a strictly perfect Navajo blanket To the Indian color Is a part of religion, and purples and pinks and other colors he never can use uni 11 ho is fully corrupted. The blanket of to-day the most graphic witness to the fall |ng off of the aborigine Unit ever came Hilo Court. It ifl full of llUCS that Utiy docent Indian knows to be literally in * rnmous. A generation ago, a Navajo would have been put to death by his people if simply found In possession of one of those witch-colors. But the true old blanket was ns perfect in its color scheme as hi ils weaving—and I have blankets which have for seventy-ilvo years done duty on an adobe floor. Of course at all times these gems were comparatively few. Not every Navajo weaver was a master, aud not so many could afford a blanket whose thread cost $0 it pound as could “stand” the natural wool at 30 cents. But what has done (he most to make the old- time blanket scarce Is the fact that It was almost Invariably burled with Ils owner In the uu Christ emisimii Inn giliujimiH trrnvevni-ils w of the l'ueblos, in the barbaric lonely last cuddling places of Navajo captains, the vast majority of the perfect blankets have gone to the worms. 1 myself have seen ponchos not three collections in the world could match to-day swathed about the corpse and covered with six feet of earth; nnd you can fancy if that would make a collector gnash lifi teeth. College Graduate Teachers. An iucouraging indication of the ex¬ tent to which college graduates are en¬ gaging in the work of school teaching appears in the annual report of Johns Hopkins University, which shows that in twenty years more than eight hun¬ dred persons formerly enrolled ns sttt- dents at that institution have become teachers.

The basket is covered at tho sides with two pirated frills of baby blue linen, edged with white lace, tho upper frill that goes around the edge of the basket having a head¬ ing an inch and a half wide.

Bicycles aro so generally usod now¬ adays that they are “one of the family.” Of courso, they must be eared for. 8o the new fad is a bicycle cover, embroidered. Tbo wheel ie often left standing in halls and kitchens, and unless it is covered soon gathers dust, to the detriment of tho machinery nnd perhaps the ruin of some of tho delicate parts. Tho wo¬ man of tasto does not liko to see her bicycle covered with an ugly plain cloth, but at the sarno time objects to seeing it uncovered and exposed to fho thousand ills that are ever lying ”> wait tor it. vVhat does sbo do? she obta,ns n cover that is handsomely embroidered and is at once an object of beauty and a protection to the ma¬ chine that has become her alter ego. Tho favorite bicycle cover is of brown holland, open at one side, with string to draw the opening together.

It is remarkable how easily wo bo- como accustomed to tho caprices oi fa hiou, aud how quickly every ves- tigo of the beauty and attractiveness of certain modes aud outlines vanishet when onoe tho ruling queeu of style haa frowned upon it. Already, lol instance, do wo boo boro and there t “balloon” sleevo which looks inon- strons aud ridiculous beside the trim, taut, little styles that took its place; and heavy and cumbersome do the over-full godet and ripple skirts ap¬ pear contrasted with tho new graoaful models of more normal moderate di¬ mension*. And over thus has it proved since fashion first began her dominat¬ ing sway in the feminine world. Taken as a whole, tho prevailing styles for tho winter are very neat perfection, with nothing excessive ap¬ pearing in their chief characteristic-', with no extremes, and with uncom¬ monly few bizurro effects excepting those which mako a oavieatnro of nearly every fashionable hat of tbo season. Ophelia iu her wildest mo¬ ments never put upon her fair head any over-laden more insane-looking, meaningless, decoration than we behold iC I point of *1, their •„ absurdity ^ is tho N number of long, tipsy-lookiug feath¬ ers that appear exactly ns if they had beeu pitched upon tho hat, hit-or- miss, fastened whero they happened to fall or stand, aud when this crazy- lookiug hat is donned, the wearer looks as if she had jnst encountered tbe worst sort of a demoralizing bliz- zardly gale straight from Manitoba.— New York Post. FASHION MIFFS. Wo hear of skirts that are plaited all ^ l0 "'W round, blit no ono seems to be able to find them when they are looked !or - All of the most approved models are very snugly fitted at the top around tho hips, aud have a great deal of fullness at the back. Some of the newest skirts are padded inside,aud so arranged as to increase the fullness about the hips. As tbe shoulders grow smaller, the contour below the waist- lino grows anaoe. Tbo variety in cloth capes is espe¬ cially good, and they aro made in all the dark colors as well as tan and gray, and in both rough and smooth mater¬ ials. In most all eases they aro trimmed with bands of the cloth stitched ou in various ways,and are lined with pretty silk. Some have plaits in the back aud swiug out after the fashion of the loose saoque, and all have flaring collars standing np around tho nook, which on soma are cut iu squares on tho edge. A tailor-made gown of Russian green serge is trimmed on the bodice with orange yellow velvet, which is to he the fashion among very many other things ot thU warm brilliant color. The round waist has a box-pleated front of the serge trimmed with fine gold buttons. There are a velvet,' small yoke and girdle of the yellow a a d also removable cuffs and a turn-d )VVU collar with a standing one also of tn velvet lined with yellow satin, fi-' kirts flares a little ou tho front au. sides,is very full at the back,and line with blue aud geld shot silk. . jjuiiOLU MATTERS, BAKED -LUO OF MTJTOS.

Col¬ ling, tbe teacher of cookery, makes mayonnaise dressing: Put the yolks of two eggs into a cold soup plate, beat or stir a moment with a silver or wooden fork, then add half a teaspoonful of suit, a dash of cay¬ enne, and, if you liko it, half a tea¬ spoonful of mustard. Work these well together, then add, a few drops at a time, from a half to a pint of olive oil, stirring rapidly and steadily all the time. Stir only one way, as re¬ versing tho motion may cause it to curdle. While adding the oil add al¬ so, occasionally, a few drops of lemon juico or vinegar. If loo thick when finished, add vinegar or lemon juice until it attains the consistency you desire. The more oil you use, the thicker the dressing. If the dressing should curdle, begin again with one or two more yolks in another plate, ana after stirriug well add one tea- spoonfnl et a time of the curdled mayonnaise, and when all has been stirred in continue adding oil as be¬ fore until the desired amount is ob¬ tained. Everything used in making the mayonnaise dressing, dish in¬ cluded, should ha ice cold, especially in hot weather. HOUSE HOLD HtOT3.

If you want your pet canary to sing his best nnd look his prettiest feed him occasionally with boiled eggs, chopped fine and mixed with cracker crumbs. Do not give him more than a thimbleful of the mixture at a time. Housekeepers puzzle over how to whip cream without changing it into hatter and tho secret is to have tho cream churn ice cold. Ono good cook always fills her cream churn with ice and puts it in the refrigerator before using. Wash willow furniture with warm water nnd castile soap, wiping very dry with a soft cloth, then dry iu the tun or near, n fire. To bleach it, a;ter washing m warm suds, set in a box without dryiug, put a small dish of burning sulphur inside aud cover the box for halt an hour. In washing grained woodwork use clear water or weak cold tea. Where there aro finger marks to be removed, such as around the door knob or on the window sill, a little fine soap may be used, but only just enough to do the work, for soap should not be used on this woodwork if it can be avoided. Careful cooks remove the oores of eggs, tho tough, milk-white bit found in tho whites. These become hard and indigestible when cooked. Another small kitchen pointer is to know that puddings, cakes and such compounds of which baking powder is an ingredi¬ ent, should bo baked at once when in’xed. Fruits are generally healthful; cool the blood, and by their qualities aid in digesting other foods, but they do not agree with all sys¬ tems; in that instance they produce a sour stomach, ferment instead of be¬ ing digested, cause irritation nnd often produce eruptions on the skin. Un¬ ripe and decayed fruits are not eat¬ able, but good fruits are generally wholesome. A well person must know what to eat aud what not to eat to re¬ main so. A l’o.mui Hou.'e in Connecticut.

Thus far the money for running the committee and paying the expenses of the corn- mittee has been furnished by Chairman Felder. Without any positive assur- ance that he would be recouped and in order that the investigation would not fall through, ho went down in his own pocket and paid the expenses of the whole investigation. Of course no money has yet been given the witnesses, nor have they been allowed any mileage, hut their subpoenas are on file and these 300 witnesses expect to Vie paid hack for what they have paid out. The full cost of the investigation will go up to $5,000. Will the legisla¬ ture agree to appropriate this amount for defraying the expenses of the in¬ vestigation? It is expected that a bill will he pre¬ pared in the meantime providing for an appropriation. A peculiar feature in the case is the fact that Senator Carter paid his own expenses while on duty, ani received no per diem, as did the members of the legislature. In spite of the fact that he conducted the case for the state, having no attorney to assist, he will receive no compensation. There are some who say that a bill will be introduced at the next session giving to Senator Carter an amount for iaking charge of the case and defray¬ ing his expenses. In the meantime, Chairman Felder will wait for the assembling of the leg¬ islature. Except for the fact, that he advanced the money the investigation, in all probability, would have fallen through. A Veteran Secretary. On the 8th of January, 1897, Major James W. Warren had served as sec¬ retary of the executive office 25 years. He began his service as secretary in 1872, under Governor Smith. Alto¬ gether Major Warren has served un¬ der seven governors, and he is more intimately acquainted with their char¬ acteristics and official doings than any man living today. He served five years under Governor Smith, six years under Alfred H. Colquitt, four months under Alexander H. Stephens, four years, less about five months, under Governor McDaniel, four years under Governor Gordon, four years under Governor Nor then and already two years under Governor Atkinson. Tom Delk, the young Pike county desperado, and Edward Flanagau, De- Kalb’s double murderer, both of w hom are in the Atlanta jail, have professed conversion. The two men are cell mates, occupying jointly the famous “12 spot.” Both experienced religion at or about the same time. Flanagan still preserves his moody silence, but Delk is cheerful and smiling, and while fully realizing the brief span of life left him, is in no wise melancholy or gloomy. * * * The record of the Carter-Sweat- Reese investigation case is to be printed and bound in book form. It will contain a verbatim record of the charges, answers, evidence and all the proceedings in the trial. It will com¬ prise 500 pages of closely printed mat¬ ter and as some of the members of the legislature live a considerable distance it In must be completed by January 27th order that it can bo delivered to them and they may have sufficient time to read it before the legislature meets in February. * * * Mr. Churchill, of Warren county, formerly of Missouri, arrived in Thom¬ son a day or two ago with a car-load of stock from his stock farm in the west.

A freight train ran into the drove killing four¬ teen mules and horses—all but six that he brought. The stock were ap¬ praised at $1,100. * * * Georgia has just cause to be proud of her School of Technology.

One of the most interesting cases will be that of the county of DeKalb vs. J. A. Mason, Colonel Mason was treasurer of tho county for five years and during that time it is charged that §25,000 was misappropriated through his office. A run was started a day or two ago on tho National bank of Brunswick. The run was confined solely to small depositors and lasted only one hour. The aggregate amount drawn out in that time was small, and but little excitement attended tho affair. There wiil be a hard fight before tho govei nor for a reprieve for Tom Delk —not for his own sake, but because he is a witness for his father, Taylor Delk. The old man’s attorneys say they feci sure that Tom will not be executed until after his father has had another trial. It is given out that John H.

As a rule patent shoe dressings are injurious to the leather; if, instead of this you use vaseline, you will not only restore the color, but preserve the kid. The vaseline Boftens and prevents it from cracking and chipping off, and thus lengthens the life of a pair of shoes. Russet shoos need a different treatment as the vaseline leaves a greasy look.

Laughter a Great Tonic. I presume if we laughed more we should all be happier and healthier. True, we are a busy and a very practi¬ cal people. And most of us probably find more in this life to bring the frown than the smile. But, neverthe¬ less, it is a pity that we do not laugh more; that we do not bring ourselves to the laugh, if need be. For we all agree that a good laugh is the best medicine in the world. Physicians have said that no other feeling works so much good to the entire human body as that of merriment, As a di- gestive it is unexcelled; as a means of expanding the lungs, there is nothing better. It keeps the heart and face young. It is, too, the most enjoyable of all sensations. A good laugh makes us better friends with ourselves and everybody around us, and puts us into closer touch with what is best and brightest in our lot in life.
