THE NURSERY.
Caraway water Is useful to relieve Aatulence in infants. A teaspoonful should be administered after each nurs. ing. or. with hand fed infants, given lo the bottle.
Brain trouble Is indicated when an in- fant is frightened at or attracted hy an Imaginary object, striving to escepe it or grasp It. No time should be lost before calling in medical ald.
Indigestion in Infants is often caus. ed by too tight bandeging. The linen hinder should never be used. A wide strip of dannel about five tuches deep round the body to keep the bowels coul- fortably warm is all that infants require.

BARNUM'S FIRST CIRCUS.

"I'D to that the Barunm had been before the pubile only as the proprietor of bull shows and museums. It was knowa that he had about a dozen bears In New York which the people there had tired of, and he thought they mlgbt be secured. Correspondence was entered lato with the owuers of the circus, Adam Forepaugh, James E. Cooper and John O'Brien, all of whom have gone to thelr reward since.
"The upshot of the matter was that Barnum ngreed to contribute his hears, haudled by 'Grizzly' Adams, famons since as a clown; Forepaugh.

"As Bornum was favorably kuown ns a minseumi owuer the establishment was styled .T. T. Barnum's circus, mu- semin und wild animal exhibition.' The museum part consisted of a lot of stuff which had been saved from the fire when Barnum's museum In New York was burned. The bears were rather old and out of form, but they went just the same. Barnum's principal contribution was his nnme, but the concern pald handsomely. Two per- formances were given most every day, and the nudiences were made up al- most wholly of soldiers nud others brought here by the war. 1 wns a lending attraction, riding n barebnek horse, wbleb was then n sensntlon on account of its novelty.

One of the most satisfactory skirt mod- els for making up light sheer wools for summer wear Is cut in circular shape, with pinin punel frout, medium wide side plaits and a shapely box plait at the back. The plaits dare gracefully around the bottom of the skirt, which is cut with u slight dip.

BEE BUZZES.
Use the best and straightest combs for breeding,
If honey ouly is desired, keep the hive full of bees.
Select the very best stock from which to raise quecus. The strength of the colony end the flow of honey determine the putting in of sur- plus boxes.
If hives are not properly made and the proper number of combs used, we may have trouble with breve combs, us the bees will fill every available space iu the hive.
Secure all the hives necessary to ac- commodete the swarms and the surplus honey crop before the time comes wheu they will be actually needed. This is the only safe plan to avoid losses in a busy season .- St. Louis Republic.

POULTRY POINTERS.
Give young turkeys n good range on aunny days.
Vertigo iu fowls arises from a bad con- dition of the digestive organs. Have the perches not more than two feet high and ell on the seme level. By removing the eggs from the nest as fast as laid the turkey ben will Iny much larger number of eggs than it left alone.
One advantage with the larger breeds of fowls over the small ones is that the larger fowls are usually much easier con- trolled.
The air cell und germ are in the broad end of the egg. und if this part is smooth and even aud the germ is fertilized, that is all that is necessary.
Geese may be picked every six weeks In warm weather, hur when picked so often they do not lay, es the growth of new feathers debilitates them.
To n considerable extent the market fowl must be hred with special reference to market qualities. It must have an abundance of meat upon the choicest parts. It can only be brought to perfect condition hy prope: feeding .- St. Louis Republic.
