disease closely, theinferenoe is, that a non-

reality a close and direot relation to the
.kind of food given.

Careful'a aminations prove that the
highest mortality is among children that
are brought np by hand. This shows for
itself that they are given a poor substitute
for their natural food. Cow's milk alightly
watered and sweetened with sugar of milk
is, perhaps, a good substitute for mother's
milk, providing that you can depend upon
the quality and character of the milk. This
is very hard to do in a large oity. Milk
that is perfectly good when it leaves its
country home is, in hot weather, scarcely
fit for ordinary table use when it arrives
in the pity. All these things must be taken
into - consideration. Follow closely the
advice of your physician who oan, probably,
recommend to you some infant's food
whioh he has need suoeessfully. Do not,
under any circumstances, change this food
at each Beggestiori of your many friends as
to the me 8 of this or that epeeist kind.
By so doi tg you frequently destroy the
digestion nd appetite of the infant. Re-
member, Churchill says, that " man's
digestion must be well oared for from the
hour of birth." Give a child during the
warm weather a little spade to breathe ;
don't have it constantly nursed oreakisel
wrapped ina baby poach. '

Dross breeding.,
William E. Monsell, of Fair Haven, has
a unique curiosity in a 13alf•grown chicken
that was hatched by a dove. Some time
ago he set a dove with some of its own
eggs, bat a cranky old hen flew into the
down and laid an egg. The performance
may have been intended for a practical
joke on the hen's part, but the dove ac-
cepted the situation seriogely and went to
work to ' manipulate a chicken out of the
colossal egg. Having accomplished that
feat, the ambitious dove nest essayed 'to
scratch out a living for the ohioken that
sprawled about the farmyard as big as ehe
was, but she failed in that .undertaking.
The chicken then took charge of the
scratching business, succeeded, and the
dove retired disconsolate. Thereupon the
filial ohioken helped the old lady out with a
share of its own pickings, and the pair are
getting on finely now.
Charge Against Chief Justice McDonald.
The President and directors o! the Peo-
ple's Bank of Halifax have submitted a
petition to the Governor-General in Conn

alleged wiiful refusal of Chief Justice Mo -
Donald, of `the Supreme Court of that
province, to de' ver judgment in favor of

A Patrol Waggon's Outfit.
The outfit of an ordinary police patrol
waggon is as curious as it is interesting.
The passing observer' usually imagines that
the heavy, brass -geared vehicle i3 merely
for the transportation of drunken
beings. The eqund . of the waggon'a gong
is associated with a raid noon a gambling
house or the arrest of an inebriate. But
the blue -coats who stand guard on the
patrol waggons have a varied line of duty.
To begin with, they are called from the
police boxes,arid_ vvithout knowingthe
nature of their errand the oflioere'ride to
the scene of perhaps a murder, an aooident,
fire or riot. When no_ilitimatdoss__of th.
case brie attended to is given old officers
oan usually tell from the locality from
which the order name. As, for instance,
a hurried call from the foot of Van Buren
street would undoubtedly mean a railroad
accident. Very often the officers feel so
confident of the nature of the case that they
prepare the stretcher beforehand. This
latter is only ono of the many appliances
with whioh the patrol is snpplied. The
signal -service officers, as the policemen on
duty are galled, are drilled in the use of the
various appliances given into their care.
The - - stretcher everybody is familiar
with. The ice nap, a rnbber bag made
to fit over the head, and capable of being
filled with chopped ice, plays an -important
part in sunstroke oases. Every waggon
has ono or more of these useful sacks,
whioh answer the purpose until the patient
oan be planed in a cot at a hospital. Then
there is the medicine chest with its simple
assortment of lint, bandages, ammonia,
bromide, iodiform, soap, aloobol, and a
few surgeon's instruments. Periodical
schools of instruction etre held for the pur-
pose of teaching the men the rudiments of
a surgeon's duty. The men must ant and
think quickly. Very often a minute's delay
in forming a ligature proves fatal to the
bleeding victim: Rubber and woollen
blankets and court plaster are also to be
found in the waggon lookers. Extra clubs,
dark lanterns, hand-onffs, come -a -longe,
revolvers and ammunition aro likewise
carried. Numerous other little but neoee-
eery articles are stowed away in the
drawers of the blao waggon. A pair of
grappling hooks for the recovery of bodies
are taken when the oflxoers start out on a
hunt for a drowned man.
" To tell the truth;" remarked pan old
patrol=service man, as he worked away
upon a contrivance of his own to be used
in setting broken limbs, " the average citi-
zen has rio idea of the numerous little and
unpleasant things that we must attend to.

Women Drinkers..:
Dr. Norman Kerr,a, President of the
British Society for the etudy of inebriety,
makes the startling -statement, that while
drinking has .decidedly diminished among
men, it has markedly increased among
women. He says they are not limited to
the beer shop olaes, but. are to be found
among educated and religions women.
There is a notioible inorease of drunkards
among the lady members of the families of
wine merchants, distillers and brewers,
who have access to the choicest unadulter-
ated liquors. Alcohol is no respecter of
persona. As might be expected, prison
etatistios are changed. There used to
be seven male prisoners in England and
Wales to one female ; the proportion now
is three to one. The doctor's study has
been comprehensive, and his paper bristles
with faote. He sweeps the horizon, touch-
ing all intoxicants in the oironit—opium,
ether, chloral, cocaine; capsicum, ginger,
absinthe. " Honor, duty and self-preserva-
tion demand entire abstinence :from such
drugs." He pronounces the present method
of dealing with both the inebriate and the
intoxicant, "a huge government training
school of inebriety." He,calls upon the
church to @ear herself rom Ieomplioity
with temptation by banishing intoxioants
from her table.,

oarbonio acid gas as a propulsive power is
not new, but M. Giffard is the first who has
turned it to praotioal account.
The gas gun is a model of simplicity,
so far as one can judge without exami-
nation of the discharging mechanism,
in whioh muoh of the merit of M. Cif.
fard's invention lies. A small cylinder
celled a oartonohe,_is attached to the barrel
of a' rifle or smooth -bora gun. This cylin-
der contains liquefied gas enough to figs --

of an ordinary service rifle, with a velocity
sufficient to kill at 600 yards. There is no
other explosive. The pellet is simply
dropped into an aperture of the barrel,
which ie hermetically closed by pressing a
small lever, and the loading is complete.
When the trigger is pressed a small gaan-
ity of liquefied gas becomes released and
xpands in the breeoh chamber. There is
no louder report than the drawing of

nd no .fooling of the barrel. In all these

A Novel Cure for the Grip.
A good many queer cures for '.fluenza
were put forward during the epidio, but
none of them equals the remedy described
in the following extract from the "Journal
and correspondence of Lord Auckland."
The passage was written from Madrid in
March, 1789. I do not know whether the
coincidence has been noticed before, but
the epidemic seems to have been as preval-
ent throughout Europe at,the beginning of
1789 as it was at the end of 1889. " There
is a new influenza of colds, accompanied
with a degree of sickishness. The cure for
the lower people here is to drink large
quantities of warm water and to lie down
upon the floor, and to 'prevail upon some
friend to walk upon them for half an hour.
I have not seen this amiable ceremony, but
_I am assured that it is literary true, and
that half a dozen.of my servants have gone
through it within a week."—London 'imes-
The Late Robert Collier:
Rev. Robert Laird Collier, who died the
ether day at his country house near Salis-
bury, Md., was a brilliant pulpit orator,
and had been settled over important Uni-
tarian churches in • Boston, Brooklyn,
Chicago, Washington and other places in
this country, while he preacherfor a time
in Leicester, England. He wee also an
entertaining writer and had published
several. books. President Garfield appointed
him consul to,Leipsic, and under President
Cleveland's administration he was sent
abroad to gather labor' statistics. He was
a warm friend of Henry Irving, Wilson
Barrett and Edwin Booth. Among work-
ing people he had many admirers, the ex-
perience of his own early life having en•
&bled him to understand and empathize
moat fully with the struggles of toiling
humanity.
Liquor Statistics.
Tho internal revenue received by the
United States Government for ftho year
1889 from the manufacture and sale of in.
toxioating liquors was $98,036,041.29. The
number of retail lignoe-dealers "—por-
tions .granted Federal permits—the same
year was 164,806... That is, the average
revenue paid to the Government for each
person holding a retail liquor -dealer's per-
mit was $588. Pretty high license, isn't
it ? And yet the consumption of liquor has
increased under that system of high taxa •
tion faster than the population inoreased.

There is at the same time considerable
mutual dependence between racing and
betting. Raoing, of course, is the sub.
etratum of betting; bat nobody who looks
facts in the faoe can fail to sae that racing
derives a great deal of reoiprooal support
from betting. It would be idle to°snppose
that the crowds which, throng the stands
at race oourees pay their guineas for ad-
mission in the same way se they might
take tickets for a theatre, simply to see a
show. if the betting element were abol.
idled from the race eosree, as some world
have it, it is not difficult to see the effeot
such a change would have in the receipts of
the meeting; and if the race fund suffers,
the prizes that are given at meetings meet
suffer, too. The body of professional
racing men forma another link between
racing and betting. If part of their reim-
bursement is derived from prizes or stakes,
for the bulk thereof they look to "getting
on " at a good price; and this theyare only
able to do through the existence of a free
market for betting. Vague rumnors .are
from time to time afloat as to the enormous
sums won by "the stable" over some big
handicap, whioh, 'if even -approximately
true, must oat considerably into the profits

Hon. John Wanamaker, the merchant

directly with the publisher. I eay to him,

I lay aside the profits on a particular line
of goods for advertising purposes. The first
year I laid aside $8,000 ; last year 1 laid
aside and spent $40,000. I have done bet-
ter this year, and shall increase that sum
as the profits warrant it. I owe my suc-
cess to the newspapers, and to them I shall
freely give a certain profit of my yearly
business."
Capturing Young Eagles.

herbs in the forest of Lateoh, in the Aus-

precipice an eagle's nest. High above,
desoribing an airy circle, was the parent
bird. One of the yonng men, by means of
a rope, descended, while the other kept
watch overhead. On reaching the nest the
youth found two splendid young eagles,
male and female birds, surrounded by the
bleaching bones of a little chamois and a
lamb. The two birds were secured and the
young men returned with their prize to

Decorators insist on oinking the oornere,
and to this end great conchae, with leather,

proscribed, with side -tables, antique pull-

is nothing more effective than a big table,
stained, polished or draped; set across as
