NURTURED IN A HOT BOX LIKE A CHICKEN IN AN INCURATOR, SHE THRIVES AND IS LIKELY To LIVE—SHE MAY BE DOTH BIG AND URALTHY, From the New York Sun. Edith Eleanor Mclean was born on Septem- ber 7, 188%, three weeks after her mother, Agnes McLean, had arrived in this city from fasgow. The passage across the Atlantic had arough one, agd Agnes had suffered a great deal from seasickness, She was too ill to proceed on her journey to Binghamton, in this state, where friends awaited her. so she went to the emigrant hospital on Ward's island. Edith Eleanor was a very wee bit of humanity, ‘hing only two pounds seven ounces, and giving slight promise of the mature woman- hood that she will now doubtless attain. Her head was no larger than a stall apple. 3 Joined to the body by a neck ference was no greater than silver doller. If she had been able to stand, little Edith would have been abont twelve inches high. Her girth was only eight inches. Once, to show how small her legs were, one of the | hospital physicians removed @ ring from his finger and slipped it over the child’s foot and on her ankle, which it fitted by no means snugly. The arms were fragile little things that looked almost as if a touch might break th |. Phe problem of preserving the little spark of life that glimmered faintly in this diminutive a difficult one.

They had ne: | finished their task when Dr. Deming, th sician in charge of the lying-in ward, to Dr. Thomas that little Edith MeLean urgent need of just sucn treatment | could receive in the box ¢! rpenter and the tinsmith were maging. and the tinsmith hastily put the finishing toyches on their work. Yooked exac like a re ator, and in ed like one, accomplish e Its length and breadth about three fect, its height four The wooden walls were double, and the space between the immer and onter walls w: filled with sawdust. A horizontal platform di- vided the interior into upper and lower com- partments, There were holes in this platform, as well as in the bottom and top of the box, to prevent the free circulation of air. There was } a sheet of glass fifteen inches square in the wooden lid to permit the attendants to observe the child as it lay in the upper compartment. There was a thermometer, too, to show the temperature of the atmosphere the child was | in. The lower compartment was for a part of the apparatus that was designed to regulate the temperature of the child’s body. Thi was a sheet-iron veasel capable of contain- ing fifteen gallons of water. Two horizon- ipes, one near the top, the other near the bottom, connected this vessel with an up- right tin cylinder outside the wooden box, and «third lower down than either of the others was connected with a faucet, and served to draw off the water when it was no longer fit for use. There was nothing to obstruct the cir- culation of the water between the two vessels. After the sheet-iron tank and the tin cylinder had been filled with water a spirit lamp was placed beneath the cylinder. As the water the lower pipe from the sheet-iron tank to take its place. This forced the warm water at the top of the cylinder throngh the apper pipe and into the big tank. In this way a constant cir- culation was kept up, and once the water was heated as hot as the spirit brag Sy make it, | itwas bound to remain at that temperature throughout The air coming in through the warm reservoir, was itself heated, rose throug’ the holes in the partition to keep the infant warm, and to be breathed by it. and then to eseape through the opening in the lid, while fresh warm air took its place. To keep the child surrounded by an atmosphere always fresh and of a required temperature it was only necessary to increase or lessen the heat applied to the tin cylinder outside. So into the upper compartments of this curi- ous box, which Dr, Thomas calls a “hatching cradle,” little Edith Eleanor McLean went at the age of thirty-six hours, already 334 ounces | reduced in weight. There she has since lived and thrived, establishing the success of thi the first experiment of its kind in this country. Little Edith weighed just 2 pounds 334 ounces when she went into Dr. Thomas’ box. At the end of six weeks she had gained just 84 ounces, and weighed 2 pounds 12 ounces. In the last two weeks she has increased at the rate of 7 ounces a week, so that the grand total of her weight is now about 3 pounds 10-ounces, She is a very little body yet, but bright-eyed id quick of moveme: ud able to make known her wants in as vigirous a way as. many en infant that hasn't been through ‘such try- ing experiences, . Gradually the temperature of her little house has been reduced from 90°, at which it was originally maintained, until now it is kept at 75°. In ten days, it is caleulated, fittle Edith Eleanor McLean will be prepared to emerge into the world again, and there is nothing, save the accidents and ailments that anybody might encounter, to prevent her from reading in the files of the Sun twenty years hence about the extraordinary efforts that were made to pre- serve her life, The success of a single experiment may not be conclusive evidence of the permanent util- ity of Tarnier’s contrivance, on Ward's island are hopeful of equally good results in future tests. While under the older and cruder methods it was possible to save the lives of only twenty-five out of every kun- infants born as was little Edith, Prof. Tar- nier’s experiments have shown that his im- proved apparatus will save sixty-six out of every 100, = cee = She Bet Her Horse and Lost.

From the Chicago Herald. For the uneducated and uncultivated woman there is always work. It is only those who cannot relinquish altogether the social posi- tion, tastes and surroundings of prosperity who find employment hard to get, In fine, it is the woman reared as a lady who suffers from idle- ness. Both in America and Great Britain, more women each year who are accustomed to refined surroundings are forced out into the busy avenues of the world to provide their own sustenanee. There is little need for any edu- cated women to be long idle, or, except under misfortune, to want for ordinary customs. If she applies her capacities in the directions in which her sex are best gutted to labor she will have little trouble “earning a living. Without engaging in domestic service, there are many ways in which the educated woman can make a livelihood by domestic work. Her superior intelligence will stand her in good stead in this field and her productioi much higher in grade from the application of her inte! nce to her labor as is that of the ignorant woman. In England societies have been formed for the promotion of dressmaking, the manufac- ture of minor food products, horticulture, poultry-raising, bee-keeping, dairy work and many other kinds of labor for which women are especially adapted. Under the protection and countenance of these associations many women of gentle birth and breeding have | entered the ranks of associxtions long tabooed as unfit for the contemplation of “ladies.” The gentlewomen of the greatest republic on earth should blush to let those of a land of caste pre- cede them in a marked democratic reform in regard to their sex. A century ago women im every rank of life earncd money and were proud of doing so, Conntry géntlewomen, assisted by their maids, made’ blankets, home- spun cloth, hose, and other things for the market. Women of ail classes found a | domestic scope for their talent and industry. | Spinning was an honorable way of making a living in those days. Machinery took | that avocation away from women. Men, instead, have amassed great — riches as “cotton-spiuners” or — wool spin- ners, No one doubts that the changes in industries are for the benefit of the world at large, but up to the present stage of develop- ment they are not directly beneficial to wome workers. The changes imbusiness wrought by | advancing civilization have | usurpation by men and machinery of occupa~ tions wherein women were exclusively em- | ployed in the past. Women have been forced into new avenues of employment. They have been driven into new channels by their neces- sities, A fallacious idea has thercby arisen that the women of the present day are acquir- ing occupations originally intended for men. Nothing is more absurd than to charge modern womankind with the iniquity of crowding into avocations for which the sex is unfitted by na- ture. If women have become more o7 less | conspicuous in pathways once recognized as | the distinct prerogative of men, their own bold, immodest pushing has not placed them ther Instead, the alteration of social ways has d } prived them to a certain extent of their legiti- | mate avocations. and they have become ill- | paid clerks, solicitors, and have invaded the precincts of professions for which the femin- ved mental and physical composition is seldom | ited. But there is no valid reason why women should not pursue many trades beneath their | own home roofs and derive a fair compensation from the goods they might make. A Cincin- nati woman markets the finest catsup in the country, and has demand for all she can manu- facture. Home-made bread is diy procu: able in Chisago," Numerous private establish | ments and club houses are willing to pay good prices for it, but it cannot be obtained. Yet | women are going up and down the length and | breadth of the city continually lamenting-that | they can’t get work. j Pickles of fine variety, jellies, headcheese | sausage, a hundred things for the table, can be made at home, and there's always sale for any- thing good to eat. The growing of flowers is an excellent and lucrative industry. Florists realize at least 100 | per cent on their sales. No healthier océupa- tion for women could be devised than flower cuiture. Beo-keeping is another avocation in some women have engaged with sne- | cess, ‘There are any number of domestic directions in which. if the educated women who have | their livings to earn would turn their earnest endeavors, they could readily reap incomes | sufiicient for al] their needs. —— eee Potting Plants. It would seem as if potting a plant properly AY, NOVEMBER 21, 1888. | “COATS, MILITARY CLOT Dk was so simple a matter that any suggestions about it were wholly unnecessary, but it will be found many causes of failure in growing | plants well are directly traceable to faulty pot- ting. One source of trouble is. potting too high, By that is meant the pot is so filled with soil | before the plant is put in, that when you come to add the plant and its roots to the soil in the pot you find that it fills it completely. There is no space between the surface of the soil and the rim of the pot, and wien you come to, apply water you find that most of it rans off. ‘ot enough finds its way into the soil to reach all the roots and wet ‘the soil all through, Suppose you examine a pot in which the soil comes to the top immediately after you have applied water. Turn it upandslip the bal earth out of it, ‘Ten chances to one you find that the bottom is If this is the immediately after watering, it stands to re: that itis so all the time. If this isthe case you cannot expect plants to do well, for the hew roots must have moisture if you wou have satisfactory development. Half the fail- ures that ave complained of result from this lack of moisture. Always advise pot low. That is, have the earth in the pot at least an inch below the rim of the pot. When vou water, apply enough to fill the pot to its brim, and let itsoak into the soil. If proper drainage h: been provided there will be no danger of ove watering. What is not required will drain off. At the bottom of the pot the drainage mate- rial should be at least an inch deep, and in large | pots two iuches are better. Immediately over this place a layer of moss or cocoa fiber. or something of like nature that will prevent the soil from washing down and filling up the cracks between whatever you use for drainag: Thea put in some potting soil, but not vei much, before you place your plant in the pe and see about where the top of the compost will come when you have completed the opera- tion, Aim to have the base of the plant least below the rim of the pot, and add or tak out till you have it just right. Pack the soil about the plant with the hand, as most plants | require to be potted firmly enough to stand alone without the use of ‘sticks or other #1 port. After filling in as much soil as necessary jar the pot well to setile it, and then water thoronghly. If, after the soil bas settled, it seems too low add enough to bring it up to the requisite level. “I gave an assistant instructions to repotsome alms for me last spring,” writes a correspon- an anes supposed he understood what was required, and left him to perform the opera- tion, ss back a short time after, I found that he had filled the pots to the brim with soil. It was not convenient to repot just then, and in consequence I have becu obliged to supply water to every one of these plants by setting the pots in tubs of waterall through the seasou. Not a twentieth of the water required to thoroughly saturate the soil could be given by uring it on the surface. Most would run off, thos th the top of the soil looked moist enough. Had f de nded on thix limited sx; to fur- nish what the roots required, I have lost my its, Had the soil been an inch below the top of the pot, I could have applied enough to wet it all through easily. Knowing the dan- ger that was to avoided I have governed myself accordingly, but the amateur may not think of this in time to save her its, and have thought best to call attention to it.” An Inhuman Fiend Captured.
