Artificial Feeding.
H. II. WARNER < Co.
Rochester, n. y

In Germany where great care is OBJ
served in gathering statistics appertain-
ing to human life) it has been found
that of one hundred children nursed
by their mothers, only eighteen died
during the first year; of those fed by
wet nurses, twenty-nine; of those artif-
cially fed above fifty. And it has been
further found that Of those brought up
in charitable institutions eighty of
every hundred died. Such facts should
receive the serious considerations of
mothers who shrink from giving nurse
to their babies simply on the score of
inconvenience or prudishness. There
are cases where the life of the mother
may be sacrificed to the child in conse-
quence Of her own physical weakness
and the baby's inherited greediness. In
such case there can be no question
as to the duty of the mother. She
should protect herseIf-put the babe on
the best diet attainable, for what is
babe without mother.-Dr. Foote's

Boys Playing Jesse James.
From the Wheeling Leader.

The rising generation in Warren, O.,
so far as the boys are concerned; seem
inclined TO rebel under the natural
quiet OF the village, and have of late
organized game called the Jesse James
game, in which one of the boys takes
the title role, and supported by one or
more daring spirits, become outlaws
and guerillas, and are hunted down by
the rest Of the players. 1t has been
the custom of the heavy williams to
arm themselves with toy revolvers, and
when the captors pressed them hard,
they would draw their pistols a la Jesse,
and the would-be captor, if he played
his part we'll, was to fall dead when
shot at. Friday, boy named Rich
ards was playing the title role, and
thought it would lend enchantment to
the same to use real revolver. Re-
suit, one boy shot through the face;
another languishing in jail. The in
jured lad, Harry Koehler, is doing well
and will recover, although seriously
wounded. Ring down the curtain on
another act of the toy-pistol drama.

THE OLD FOLKS OBJECT.

Cincinnati Enquirer.

The name of Cloakey is known all
over western Pennsylvania as one asso-
ciated with wealth and rank. The
family is large, and the proper name
to be given to tie village which sprang
up in Washington county, near to the
Cloakeys was Cloakeyville. This gave
the family still wider acquaintance
ship, the full circle of which was shock
ed by the doings of one of the Cloakey
name. Miss Venie was handsome,
educated, witty lady, possessing large
wealth in her own right She
moved in the first circles and
was considered by many a
rich man to be good CATCH" but she
Offers almost innumerable she had, but
rejected them. For every bride
there is groom say the old women,
and Venie found hers.
John Miller is black. He is q ne
gro. He is a hostler; an ignorant re-
pHlsive negro. But Miss CIoakey loved
him, and, despite her friends protesta-
tons, bolts, bars, night watches and
day guards, she married her lover.
This was several days ago, and now
there comes another chapter. Robert
CIoakey, brother of the infatuated
woman, applied to Judge Hart, OF
Washington, Penn, for d commission

Mrs. Miller's strange marriage should
be considered IN another light than
that of crazy woman:

As | clasped my baby fair,

On her face and soft brown hair,
While l pressed my darling closer,
Closer to my throbing breast.

Clasping close my baby girl.

Rosy cheeks and brow of PEARL

On the lumber freighted air,
Till the song Of love and blessing
Shaved Itself into prayer
As traced my baby's footsteps
Onward through the coming years,
By and by, l seemed to her
Crowned with woman's hopes and fears,
And prayed, o, Tender Father
Heed a mothers earnest cry;
Guide my darling, keep her safely,
In the coming Ply and by. q.
Twilight shadows softly gather
Round me in my quiet room,
But the irelight's glow and sparkle
Scatter every thought of gloom;
And my trembling lips are murmuring,
Murmuring still the sweet old song,
Though my bright dreams of the future
An to by-gone days belong
Empty is the baby's cradle,
Empty is the baby's chair,
And my vacant arms are reaching
Out into the empty air;
And | pray, o, Tender Father
Heed a childless mothers cry;
Guide me safely to my darling,
In the longed for by and by.

Magic Photographs.

Magic photographs, in which the i'm
age is developed by tobacco smoke,
have been lately supplied in various
tobacco shops on the European con
tinent. A cigarette mouthpiece is
provided, and with it are some white
Photographic papers about the size of a
postage stamp. One of the latter is
placed over lateral orifce in the
mouthpieee, and a sliding piece drawn
over it. After smoking one finds the
image on the paper. La Mature ex-
plains the process. A small photo
graph, prepared on chloride of silver
paper, as usual butwithout intensifying,
is put in a solution of bichloride of
murcury, where it pales and disap-
pears. The bichloride of mercury
changes the photograph partly into
white chloride of silver, and partly into
protochloride of mercury, also white,
making the image invisible. The i'm
age may be brought back by action of
hypochloride of soda, or of ammoniae-
al vapors. Tobacco-smoke, as contain
ing the latter, does very well. The
principal of magic photographs was
indicated by Herschel in 1910
