Why Do Children Die.

In answer to this question.
the Medical Recorder holds the
following language:
"The reason why children
die is because they are not
taken care Of. From the day
OF birth they are stuffed with
food, choked with physic,
splashed with water, suffocated
in hot rooms and steamed in
bed.clothes. So much for in
door. When permitted to
breathe a breath of pure air
once a week in summer, and
once or twice during the cold.
er months, only the nose is per.
mitted to peer into daylight.
A little later they are sent out
with no clothes at all on the
parts of the body which most
need protection. Bare. legs,
bare arms, bare necks, girted
middles, with an inverted um'
brella TO collect the air and
chill the other parts Of the
body. A stout strong man
goes out in a cold day with
gloves and overcoat wooden
stockings and thick doubled
soled boots, with cork between
and rubbers over. The same
day, a child OF three years old,
an infant of flesh and blood
and bone and constitution, goes
out with hose as thin as paper
cotton socks, legs uncovered to
the knees, neck bare, an ex.
posure which would disable
the nurse, kill the mother out
right, and make the mother ar
invalid for weeks. And why
To harden them to a mode o
dress which they are never ex
pected TO practice. To accus
tom them TO exposure which {
dozen years Later would b
considered downright foolery
To rear children thus for thu
slaughter pen, and then lay I
to the Lord, is too bad. WI

any hand in it," ~ 0. nl

Magnolia Auriculdtd.l

This small but pretty Magno.
lia, grows near the Southern
Allegheny Mountains in the
States Of Virginia and Ken
tncky. The tree is rather slen'
der, usually attaining the
height of twenty-five to thirty
feet. The bark which clothes
the trunk is smooth and of a
light grayish color. The leaves
are obovate.spatulate, auricu-
late at the narrowed base, be-
Ing smooth, entire, about eight
or nine inches long, and about
FIVE or six broad above, much
narrower below, and ending at
the base in peculiar ear shaped
lobes. The petals are pure
white. The foliage is Of a
beautiful light green color.
The fruit somewhat resembles
that OF the Magnolia Nacro>
pkylla, but is rather smaller
This elegant tree is sometimes
deEominated the Long -leaved
Magnolia, and again iti is known
as the Ear. leaved Magnolia.
The blossoms are not, perhap',
quite so fine ard fragrant as
some others of the family, but
they are quite beautiful, being
Of q pale greenish white color,
and are about four inches in
diameter when perfectly cx-
panied; they usually unfold
themselves in the bright and
balmy month of May at which
period the vast vegetable
world is being arrayed In its
vernal, gay and most faSclnat'
Ing robe. This splendid spe-
cies should be employed as an
ornamental tree where the eli.
mate will permit, because 1t
seems to excel in cultivation
anything in a wild state. 1t Is
perhaps somewhat more arti>
fetal in its character than
most of the other members Of
the family, possessing larger
leaves and a denSer foliage, be-
ing Of a apaler hue, contrasting
chafmingly with the depth Of
its own shade. Its branches
are sitter than those Of any
other Magnolia. a,tF

A public meeting was held last evening in the

purpose Of taking INTO consideration "War and Its
Remedies There was u full attendance of Friends
and considerable interest was manifested. The
meeting held under the auspices OF ''The Peace
ASSOCIATION OF Friends In AMERICA and was opened
by reading portion OF the scriptures.
Mr.. X. L. MURRAY, who presided on the occasion.
opened the regular proceedings with q few intro
ductury remarks, IN which he mentioned the adap.
liability OF the New Testament to the doctrine OF
peace. He wanted to know why other deromna-
tons did not fully appreciate this doctrine as the
Society OF Friends. rhe Peace Association of
Friends IN America was formed to bring this doc
trine Of peace more prominently before th5 world.
They proposed TO aRila.e this question until In the
heart o. every CHRISTIAN were struck chord an
n0uncng GLORY 70 Goi IN the highest and on earth
peace and good will towards men,"
Mr.. X. w. DOUGLAS was then introduced and ad-
OF the world the time OF the birth OF Christ he
went on to say that the great Prophet ap-
peared in the midst OF Carnage and i'm
moIaity, and announced the great doctrine

makers They were. said John Wesley those lovers
OF God and men who utterly detest all violence and
debate. In short, they are peacemakers, who make
1t the business OF their lives At the head those
peaccmakers was the only begotten Son OF Goo. IL
might he asked why was that the Society Of Friends
were opposed TO war; They were opposed 10 war
because II was opposed 10 the principles of The gos-
were opposed 10 war because II aroused the passions
OF men and not their reason. They were opposed
10 1t again because IL did not determine which ma

Mr.W. G. HUBBARD as next introduced and made
speech Of similar import to that OF Mr.. Douglas.
