The Dressing Table. For the German baby’s bath his little tub is tilled with tepid water and be lies entirely immersed, only his little face above the surface, his back and head supported on the nurse's arm. Then he is rolled and patted dry in hi towels in the usual way, after which he is dressed, not on hurse’s knee, but on the “Wickeltisch, p swaddling ta » Dhar conveniently high commode with ghtly slanting, before which the stinds, Tf this isnot available, linary table is always used. First, the batiste chemise is put on, and then the merino shirt, both fas- tened in the back by strings, Then comes the dinp ind then from under the arms the baby is simply swaddled in his blanket, which is turned up at the bottom and. pinned together like a meal sack, If the youngster inclines to curl his legs or to lie with his knees curved, they are tightly bandaged with a broad linen band.

Obviates Need of Doctors and Drugs. Shouid be Used Without Sugar. Drink ‘expert Warman recommends the drinking of lemon water. Lemon water, without sugar, he believes, is }of great medicinal value. It makes }& beverage that will cool the blood,| clear the brain, remove biliousness, | clear the complexion, and save the | expenditure of money for drugs and | doctor ‘bills and a few other things—/ }& health drink that can not be dis counted. But do not use sugar with the lemon, it neutralizes the effect that would otherwise be produced. Con- | Sider, for a moment, he says, a few of the uses of the lemon. In the morning, half an hour or more before breakfast, take the juice of half a lemon in a glass of cold water. It will clear the system of humor and) bile without any of the effects of} calomel, congress water, or any drastic drug. But the benefit is more than doubled by repeating this just before retiring. This is a much safer way to get the better of a bilious con- dition than resorting to quinine or blue pills, Do not irritate the stomach by tak- ing the lemon clear. The powerful acid of the juice, when taken alone, is always most corrosive and invari- ably produces inflammation, if long continued, but when properly diluted so that it does not harm or draw the throat, it does its medical work, and| when the stomach is clear of food it has abundant opportunity to work | through the system thoroughly. Not only is the drink of lemon water an excellent liver corrective, but, if taken In hot water Instead of | cold, it will prove a very efficacious) anti-fat remedy. It is better than any drug or com- plexion powder for giving permanent clearness and beauty to the skin. | A teaspoonful of lemon juice In a small cup of black coffee will relieve | bilious headache. j Two or three slices of lemon In a cup of strong tea will cure a nervous headache. | Lemon juice has also been used in| Germany, with marked effect, in cases, of rheumatism, especially articular rheumatism. milli “Take heed unto thyself; the mighty God That is the Soul of Nature, sees the good And bad that man in his most secret heart Thinks by himself, and brings it to the light. *.

He is apparently too closely wedded to his “bubble” to care to con- sider seriously any other sort of mar- riage, while authentic report bas it that every once in awhile he drops unexpectedly into the unconventional in a way productive of much embar- rassment to his entourage. His latest prank was played in the great cathedral at Leon, to which his majesty paid an unofficial visit recent- ly. He had gone into the organ loft— for Alfonso’s education has made of him an organist of ability as well as a fluent linguist—and had begun to play a chant when, with no warning whatever, he switched off into a sharp military march, at the same time call- ing out in a loud voice: “'Tention! Quick step! March!” Priests and suite were for the in- stant too surprised to do anything but gasp, and the next minute there were the solemn strains of the chant again, with the hearty laughter of the king heard beneath them.
