sound mind that is likely to accompany it, 
and a “tout ensemble ” that is fresh and whole¬ 
some. 
Nurse your child yourself if possible, and 
only leave it to be fed when really obliged to 
do so. Mothers who have not food enough, 
can use cow’s milk, as above, and when baby 
gets to be four or live months old. vary it with 
home-made bread, boiled in a little water, 
with a dash of salt, till it is a jelly; then add a 
little sugar and some fresh milk. This is a very 
healthful food, aud more nourishing than milk 
alone. 
As soon as you can, in the morning, give 
the baby its bath, always lukewarm. Dress 
it comfortably loose, and more for comfort iu 
every way than for show. Have an abun¬ 
dance of plain slips, that you may keep your 
darling sweet and clean, rather than Unely 
dressed, and perhaps untidy. Give it plenty 
of fresh air, except in extremely cold weather. 
In really warm weather, let it enjoy the air, 
without extra wraps. If you live iu the city, 
and can do no more, you can lind a shady spot 
in your own yard, where you cau ait with it, 
and if you cannot, be idle, have some light 
sewing ready for these moments. In the coun¬ 
try a mother could and should find time to 
‘"air her baby,’’—not iua carriage necessarily; 
but put down an old blanket under a tree aud 
put baby on it to kick aud sprawl, while you 
sit by and darn stockings, make button-holes, 
or crochet. I speak from experience, for I 
reared my children iu the city, and did my 
owu work; but 1 always found time to give 
them ail*. If I took them into the country for 
a short time in the Summer, I generally had 
crochet work ready to do while out-of-doors 
with them, and yards of lovely llueu lace for 
pillow casos (I always use it) have thus grown 
uuder my fingers, aud I never missed the time

specimen of womanhood, a good conversa¬ 
tionalist,exceedingly intelligent aud well read, 
and 1 enjoyed her society. During the after¬ 
noon there was a storm, and when the lady 
left the bouse she raised her dress skirt to keep 
it from getting wet at the bottom, and thereby 
exposed her balmoral, so ragged, that it would 
have disgraced the veriest beggar woman that 
walks the streets. I was not only surprised 
but shocked at such an exhibition of shabbi¬ 
ness. Docs any one suppose she was a good 
housekeeper/ I very soon learned that her 
work was never properly done. If by chance 
there was one room in the house swept and 
garnished, the rest were sure to be in confu¬ 
sion. Wearing apparel and bedding were bun¬ 
dled together, often soiled and more or less 
tattered. Want of good management was seen 
on every hand. She often made bitter com¬ 
plaints because she had so few conveu ences

BABIES, 
Several articles have lately appeared in 
these columns ou the care and feeding of in¬ 
fants, aud as 1 have had seven very healthy 
children myself, 1 think I can say a few words 
about rearing the little darlings. I nursed all 
of my children, haviug an abundant supply of 
healthy food, and so had no need for extra 
feeding, uuless l was obliged to leave them for 
several hours. To provide for such a contin¬ 
gency, 1 bought a regular nursing bottle, but 
not one of my children would use it. So the 
first two or three were fed with a spoon, the 
food being good cow's mdk, with about half as 
much boiliug water poured into it, and a very 
little white sugar added. It is “slow work,’’ 
as a correspondent remarked, to feed a baby 
with a spoon; but babies demand, and should 
have, the most patient aud untiring care. .Ne¬ 
glect other things, but never your babies. 
I said my first two or three were fed with a 
spoon; then I obtained a baby’s drinking boat. 
A more handy thing I never had, and I would 
advise any mother to get one rather than put 
one of those rubber abominations into her 
baby’s mouth. 
gooseberry catsup. 
Ten pounds of ripe gooseberries, five pounds 
of white sugar, a quart of good cider vine¬ 
gar, three tableepoonfuIs of ground cinna¬ 
mon, two tablespoonfuls of ground cloves, one

blossoms, put into a preserving kettle, crush, 
heat through, then pass through a fine colan¬ 
der. Return to the fire, add sugar and spice, 
boil slowly half an hour, add vinegar, and 
bottle. 
raspberry vinegar. 
Fill a stone crock with ripe raspberries, just 
cover with pure, cider viuegar, cover, and let 
stand a week. Then pass through a fine sieve, 
carefully pressing out all juice, and to each 
pint of this liquid add pound of granu¬ 
lated sugar, and let heat until the sugar is 
dissolved. Skim, take from the fire, let cool, 
bottla, and cork tightly. Two or three spoon-
