fifth story could not keep children
without losing the services of his wife,
whom he wants to hflp him IN his
business. If he kept children his
wife would be obliged to live upstairs,
so he sends out his babies to nurse az
soon as they are born, with The
intention of letting them remain in
he country until they are FIVE or six
wears old; and the ouvrier, who mas
generally but one garrett room up a
dozen flights of stairs, does the same
thing. The result of this is that more
than 80 per cent. of me children born
In Paris die In TIE baby farmers hands
before reaching their second year.
All that the Assistance Publique has
tried to do toward checking this
shocking waste of life has been of
little avail. Forty creches have been
instituted, but they meet the wants OF
only small number of mothers. A
system for registering and inspecting
the homes of peasant women who
take children To nurse has teen
attempted, but the Assistance gets
little help from parents of the working
class in cOntending against the
rapacity of baby farmers \ nurse OF

These find their customers among the

An Ancient Roman Town.

Some remarkable ruins have oeen

geological mission in the neighborhOod

Gulf Of Gabes. The exact spot of the
discovery is near Fabella and +! Kan

Djerba, and it is believed from the
Importance and extent of the ruins
that they form what was once the, cap
ital of the island, many years before
The Christian era. The sig ht is said To
be most impressive. The remains of
a great temple-from its form pre-
sumably dedicated to Zephyr

shore. They are of marble, and of
singular architectural richness, COM
posed i'm parts of hugh blocks measur-
ing more than fifty square ysrds at
their base Immense columns OF red
and green marble form the eastern en-
trance, and there is square inclosure
surrounded with white marble friezes,
supported by twisted columns. Num-
bers of statues, sculptured in Egyptian
granite. were lying on the ground, and
il was remarked that, while they were
all decapitated, not single head was
to be found. Another temple
was discovered. about half mile
away, built of of the same marble as
thar used in The pagan temple at III
Kantara. The old Notifications of the
town can still be traced, having cir
conference of three or four miles,
while the MOSAIC floor of the houses
are easily visible. though much Jam
aged by long exposure to the open air.
The island was originally joined TO the
mainland by causeway OF Roman
construction, the remains of which
are now apparent.

Georgia, when Howell Cobb was

He sat twelve years in the speakers
