THE CHILD IX SUMMER.
ITS PROPER FOOD AND CLOTHING—
HOW TO GET PURE MILK.
"The hot summer weather is almost as dangerous
to the babies of the well-to-do as of the poor, al
though we hear less about them," said a woman
doctor yesterday. "Even mothers with ample
¦sans often i re Ignorant of the proper food and
care to be given their children, and the average
cursemnM knows less. I believe that a time will
come when co woman will engage a nurse for her
baby without requiring that she shall have had
a proper training, or arranging for her to get It.
"The child's food Is of deep importance, of course,
at a" times, but m summer Is of more consequence
than anything else. It is not necessary. In the case
of Infants, that the milk should be from one cow. as
Is frequently declared. The milk of several cows
nixed at random Is generally of more uniform
<jua!ity. What is essential is to have pure milk,
cncontamliiated by dirt from the cow's body or
¦BSt from the stable or barnyard.
"It would bo a good Idea for housekeepers in
general to Inform themselves of actual conditions
la the dairies they patronize, but it is the positive
4ity of parents. It would not be difficult, as the
till i farm is cot — or ought not to be — so far from
city as to make a visit Impracticable. Only by
Cfiterested personal inspection can one find

"Children over a year cM may have cereals, soft

"For a child from two to three years old a daily
average, according to scientiflo formula, is: Bread.
'£ ounces: butter, .43 of an ounce; meat. 4.6 ounces;
potatoes. 3.9 ounces; milk. 22.6 fluid ounces. A dally
average for a child between three and six years
old is: Milk, 45.6 fluid ounces; beef, 12.1 ounces;
rice. 13 ounces; bread. 10 ounces: butter. 1.06 ounces.
"The child from four to six years old may have
such a diet as this: Breakfast, half an orange,
two nHespooaftria of cereal with cream, and a
half pint cf milk; midday meaL a half pint of milk,
a chop or same quantity of chicken or steak, a

CHILDRENS CORNER.
THE FOURTH A CENTURY AGO.
Just one hundred years ago New-York celebrated
her Fourth of July on the water quite as much if
not more than on the land. "The Spectator," of
ISOI. gives this glowing description of the general
rejoicing:
Blessed with a cool breeze, and a clear sky, with
the usual parade, the citizens of this city cele
brated the anniversary of America's Independence.
The day was ushered in by ringing of bells and
discharge of cannon. At 12 o'clock Federal salutes
were Tired from the Battery and Governor's Island,
and the bells again rang a Joyful p»-ai. To Increase
the beauty of the scene, the shipping in the harbor
wire decorated with their several national flags.
The English and French were both spread to the
breeze, and the French armed brig and corvette,
lying off Governor's Island, witnessed their Joy at
results of peace with the two nations. The puhlhj
concerts in the evening were successful and the
day closed without a calamity.
The boys and girls, who have now virtually taken
possession of the day. and to whom, a Fourth would
be nothing without plenty of noise, have no less
an authority to sustain them, in this than one of
the signers of the Declaration of Independence,
John Adams himself. In referring to the adoption
THE "<X>LiOR BEARER."
of the resolution of independence, on July 2, 1776.
he said: "It ought to be commemorated as the day
of deliverance by solemn acts of devotion to God
Almighty. It ought to be celebrated with pomp and
parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bon
fires and illuminations from, one end of this country
to the other, from this time forward for ever
more."
Th* "guns and bonfires." when our great-grand
fathers were alive, were not allowed to take the
place of the 'solemn acts of devotion." and many a
boy and girl sat patiently through the long prayers
and orations that were given in the churches, for
the celebration of the day was partly a religious
as well as a patriotic duty. Gradually the religious
sen-ice was given up. but in the early days of this
century even children Joined in the serious exer
cises held by city or town, and would have thought
it a hardship to miss them. A well known writer
has told how in girlhood days. in the village where
she lived, children marched in the parade, little
girls in white dresses, with red and blue sashes and
boys in blue jackets, with white trousers, all wear
ing little Hags for badges. Then they heard the
Declaration ad in the hall, and the day was one
long to be remembered.
July 2 was perhaps more truly the birthday of
the country than the 4th, and it was this day
John Adams expected the nation to celebrate but
the adoption of the "Declaration" in Congress on
the tth a/as made by common consent the great
anniversary.

Joseph yon Thoma, fifty-eight years old. who
died at Port Chester yesterday, was a German
baron, but because he could not Hve in a style be

interest has been manifested by Christiana every
where in a more extensive preaching of the Goapei.
Many denominations and societies have made spe
cial efforts, resulting la marked blessing, while
other organizations have sought to prenare the
way for future united activity by calling Chris
tians to prayer and Bible study. There 13 every
indication that during the coming- season there will
be increased effort, with still greater blessing to
the Church and the world. Christians are united
in the conviction that there is special and urgent
need of the preaching of the Gospel The religious
ana social conditions of our country have never
needed its influence and messages of freedom and
nope more than now No one will deny that God
Is ready to own the preaching of His word and
prepare servants to proclaim It. Both the Church
and the nation ars in danger fro.n the temptations
ana evils at prosperity, wnich can he overcome oniy
by the power of t>.e spirit, through -aching the

Concerning the future of Mr. Johnson's plans of
connecting this city and Philadelphia with trunk
trolley lines, a c as friend yesterday said:
Mr. Johnson's death will only postpone by a few
months the successful Issue of his great enterprise.
Those who worked with him believed that no man
could push through a soiieme with such dispatch
as he could. His brother. Tom L. Johnson, Mayor
of Cleveland, who is now la this city, will take
hold of the PhiiadeiphUi.-«>»ew-York trolley plan.
He will push it through rapidly. As far as I
know, everything is plain sailing for him and the
Interests he represents. New-Yorkers will be able
to travel to Philadelphia over our lines for SO ceat3
in a comparatively short time.
XO CLAIM OX THE XORTH GERMAN LLOYD.
MR- WHALES ADVISES THE COMPAXT IS NOT
LIABLE FOR DAMAGES TO A NORTH RIVEa
PIER BY THE HOBOKEN FIRE.
Because nothing can be learned about the origin
of the Hobohaa pier flre. Corporation Cooaaal
Whalen tails tfcfc Dock Hoard that It may as well
cancel its claim against the North German Lloyd
Steamship Company for 35.455 20, for damages to
New Pier No. 31, North River. The company re
fused to pay the bhl. disclaiming all responsibility
for the accident. It appears that a steamship was
cast loose, an.i. on tire, floated across the river,
and under the influence of the ebb tide collided
with the pter.
"The rule of law in this country la somewhat
different from that la otter countries."* writes
Corporation Counsel Whalen. to whom the- matter
was referred by the Dock Board. "Here it must
be proved that the fire and the injuries and dam
ages resultant therefrom were caused by negli
gence, and the proof that a fire occurred; and in
juries, or damage resulted is not sufficient to Justify
a recovery in an action. It will probably never be
ascertained how the fire originated. Under thaaa
circumstances, I am of the opinion that, unless
facts additional to those now known to us can b*
ascertained, it would be impossible to fasten re
sponsibility upon snii steamship company ror tha
cost of tne repairs to the pier In Question, and taa
same should be marked off the boolu of tha de
partment."
