Infant's Food.

In an important article on "The Quantity
of Food Required in Infancy, in BaJytoOd
for July, j. Lewis Smith writes The
Importance of these tests and observations
is apparent, inasmuch as they enable lis to
determine approximately how much food
be given at each feeding to infants that are
unfortunately deprived of the breast milk.
Tie food thus used should, of course,
bear the closest possible resemblance to
human M Tx in conistence and and nutritve
properties. Althoughmany substitutes for
human milk have been prepared, and sold in
shops with ex:raxagant recommendations
it is the opinion Of the most intelligent and
experienced physicians that animal milk,
and for convenience that of the COW, should
be made the basis of the preparation
employed.
In my opinion the following is very nearly
the proper scale for the diluton of cows
milk, which should, of course, always be
as fresh as possible and Of good quality.
Under the age Of two weeks, one part
milk, two parts water; at three weeks two
parts milk and three parts water, at four
to six weeks half milk and half water at
three mo, this, three parts milk, two parts
water; after four months, three parts milk
and one part water.
This scale of dlution does not give as
large proportion of waite. as is recommend
ed by some authorities in infant dietetics
but it is sanctioned by observation.
The quantity of milk, prepared as directed
above, which infants require at different
ages may be formulated as follows from the
statistics which we have given. Uuder the
age of three weeks one TO one-and-a hal t
ounces, with the water added after it is
measured, should be give at each of the
twelve daily feelings.
The quantity should be gradually increas.
ed as the infant grows older until the age
of three months, when three ounces should
be given at each of the eight feelings
Some infants don't seem to require an
increase ofthis amount, but others who are
hearty need more Thus one infant aged
four months took, in tile average, fur
ounces of breast milk at each Of the nine
nurSings in twemty-iour kuurs.
The baby after the age of six months
should he fed every three hours, aud four
ounces Of milk may be given at each l,cding
in order to insure sufficient quantity
Some require less than this, and occasionally
one needs little more, say four and. a-half
ounces. From Babyhood.

the northwest, the direction from which an in
vasion from Russia would come, and SO England
has for years kept sharp oversight of things
IN Afghanistan. In the northwestern corner Oh
Afghanistan lies the fortified town of Herat
which, on account of its commanding position
has long been known as the key to India Right
over against Herat on the north. and only some
200 miles away, is the new post OF the Russians
at Merv.
After the Russians had got control of the
country thus bordering on Afghanistan the ques-
tion Immediately came up as to where the exact
boundaries of the latter country were. England
was so anxious to keep the Russians from ad-
vancing further, and so fearful that their next
step would carry them to Herat that she lost no
time in demanding that these boundaries be def
nite.y settled, and joint commission Of Rus
slams and Englishmen was appointed to deal
with the question on the spot This commission
has been on the ground during the past year.
but has not reached an agreement The Rus
slams, it appears, claim piece of territory be-
tween the rivers Murghab and Heri Rud, issuing
from the Afghan mountains, the control OF
which, it is alleged, would give them command
of the road to Herat. The town of Penjdeh,
which, it is said, the Russians have just cap
tured lies upon this road, and, according to En-
glish claims, within the edge of The Afghan ter
ritory.
The recent negotiations between England and
India relate to the question as to where the line
should be run and what should be regarded as
debatable ground for the purpose. Two or three
weeks ago the two governments agreed not to
make any further advance on either side pend
ing the negotiations; that is, Russia promised
not to push her troops further into the debata-
BILE grounds and England undertook to restrain
her friends the Afghans. The recent battle be-
tween the Russians and Afghans however,
shows that one side or the other has failed to
keep back.
AS England believes that the safety of her In
dian empire depends upon the keeping of the
Russians out of Afghanistan the world looks on
to see her aid the Afghans against Russia with
all the power and prestige of her arms

Guatemalan Officials Preparing to Avenge the

Guatemalan Officials Preparing to Avenge the
Death of BarriOs.
ST. Louis, April 11.-A correspondent of the
Globe Democrat telegraphs from the City of
Mexico that news has been received there that
the Congress OF Guatemala has declared as
provisional President Senior Alexandra Sinivaldl
until a general election can be held. Sinivaldi
was an intimate friend of the late President
Barrios, and for many years they were partners
in business matters. 1t is believed he
will endeavor to carry out the, policy of his late
ambitious partner. General Barrundla, the
Minister of War of the deceased Dictator, con-
tinues to act in the same capacity to President
Sinivaldi. Barrundia is pushing war prepara-
tions with the greatest speed and energy, and is
supplying arms to all who ask for them. The
country is in o great fever of excitement over
the tragic death of General Barrios and his son.
The resolve to avenge the death of Barrios has
become national cry, and all information from
Guatemala indicates that the people will make a
most determined struggle to carry out the pur-
poses of Barrios and unity Central America
General Ignasia Mariscal, Minister of Foreign
Relations of Mexico, takes quite different view
of Guatemalan affairs. In an interview, Maris-
cal said he considered the power of Guatemala
completely broken. He states positively that it
is neither the desire of the Mexicans nor the ex-
ecutive to declare war against Guatemala. The
warlike preparations were only ordinary precau-
tions which the times and circumstances war
ranted.

VERY LIKE CHOLERA.
Two Children Die of Disease Closely Re.
sembling the Asian Scourge.

CLEVELAND, o., April 11.-Considerable ex-
element prevails among several Cleveland
physicians and the people who live in the vi
cinity of Alum street, over the death of two
children under peculiar symptoms. About ten
Jays ago small child of Mrs William Russell
was taken i'll and died. After death the body
turned black. Yesterday second child died of
the same disease, and its body also turned
black. The symptoms manifested were purging,
vomiting and irritation. The health officer and
coroner are unwilling to pronounce the disease
fholera without thorough investigation, and
will hold post-mortem examination to morrow
DR.. Z. j. Morton was called in and prescribed
for the first child that was taken i'll. He did
everything possible to save it, but it grew rapid
ly worse and died. And here most suspicious
circumstance occurred. The physician
in attendance and everyone about
the premises was astonished to discover
that the skin of the deceased child
quickly turned black The physician was at a
logs to determine the nature Of the disease from
the unusual symptoms and in the death certif-
cate convusions is described the cause
of death. 1t was supposed at first
that the disease was brought on by
something which the child had eaten.
but upon inquiry as to its diet, it was found that
the child had taken nothing which was at all
likely to produce such result. Scarcely had
the little coffin been laid away when four other
children were seized by the same violent
symptoms, and the same medical aid was sum-
moned. One of the children, aged five years,
died to-day, and the same livid discoloration
of body followed its demise Death. as before,
was attributed to commissions, but DIR. Morton
took occasion to mention the circumstances to
Health Officer Ashman. The circumstances
were unusual and mysterious that searching
investigation was determined upon The sanitary
cfilcer for that district was instructed to thor
2onghiy examine the premises and ascertain if
there was any lurking disease breeding environ
