1T has come to be gospel with young mar
ried folk that the second summer is the de-
stroyer of the baby. 1t is fate-kismet. That
the second summer costs more lives than it
ought is not the fault of the summer; it is the
fault of the heat and the parents. The sum
mer heat is dangerous to all young children;
it is in connection with the bad diet of the
second summer that it is fatal. 1t is a we'll
established fact that nearly all the mortality
Of second summer babies is from diseases of
the digestive organs, and these come from If

answer to the question, "What does the child

PHILADELPHIA AND THE SOLDIERS.

The Philadelphia Press addresses some vi
Imperative language to the Journal, being
moved thereto by the charge of inhospitality
towards the visiting soldiers preferred against
that city by this paper. The Press, after ad-
hitting that the military organizations came
there in good faith and with patriotic spirit
asserts that the failure of the affair was due
to the fact that it began in speculation and
was based on misstatement. Various vague
charges of speculation have been made
against the managers by the local papers from
time to time since the opening of the encamp-
ment, but whether there is any stronger
foundation for the assertions than the fact
that Philadelphians were actually asked to
pay an admittance fee to the drills, is not
made clear. 1t may possibly be true that the
attendance of the militia was secured as the
Press says, by false pretenses, and to carry
out a private enterprise; but this unfortu-
nately does not relieve the city of the odium
of having at the last moment made coming

THE published extracts from Miss Clevelands
book show that the Presidents sister has great
gift for language not to say gush. Her ideas
are clothed in such voluminous garb of words
that there is some difficulty in getting at them;
but when finally cleared of superhuous adjectves
and obscure phrases the thoughts are not found
to be of an iucendiary nature. The essays, in
short seem to be such as the very respectable
teacher of a very respectable female seminary
night read to her pupils without the slightest
harm to any one concerned.

Monkeys Along q Railroad Line.

The following story was related ia
a correspondent Of the Madras (India'
Mail by one who travels by raj
almost every day: Between a place
called Niddivunda and Herebully
there is a large tope which is well
known to be infested with a host OF
monkeys. Having no other mode Of
occupying their dull hours, they are
bent upon trying to destroy the Tum.
kur line. It would appear that these
animals. about fifty or sixty, form
themselves Systematically one-half on
n rail and the other half on the
other. They begin by first removing
the earth from the sides of the rails.
Then they arrive at the difficulty OF
nuts and bolts, which, though they
examine them very infinitely, they
cannot get over. On the approach OF
the up or down train they wait till
the engine is within a few yards, when.
with the utmost GOODNESS. they Simply
jump on one side till the train has
passed, and then resume their work.
\ remarkable instance occurred on
n of these occasions. As the engine
was approaching, the monkeys made
their usual jumps, with the exception
OF one, who persisted in remaining on
the line, the engine by this time being
very near. Five or six monkeys, see
ing the danger one of their number

A Passion for Tagx

The military desire for flags in China
has developed into a passion. Every
fortress, trenched position, camp. CITY
gate or oficers' headquarters. has from
u to one hundred, some OF one bright
solid color, but most are arranged in
stripes, the colors red, white and blue
being preferred. Were but three stripes
used the resemblance to the French
tricolor would be almost exact, but as
they ordinarily use five or six the simi-
larlty OF color becomes a mere sugges.
ton. When blue is not o~btainable,
black, and rarely yellow, takes its place.
At the camp of the Tso-tsung-tang regi-
ment, On a pleasant knoll just outside the
walls of King-chow-foo, more than a
hundred large flags were displayed,
ranged with the precision OF the rows in
a corn-feld, there being one for nearly
every white canvas tent, in which the
soldiers were comfortably installed.
The material used is Manchester cotton.
bought white and colored by the Chinese.
As each is about the size of a common
bed blanket, and several thousands
must be required for the 10, 1000 troops
stationed in and about Hollow and King
chow-foo, the quantity needed is i'm
nense, and the merchants who deal in
he goods were prepared accordingly.
There Is 10 doubt that their number is
often u~nreasonably increased by the
mandarins commanding the troops that
they may have the squeeze, or difference
n price, since they purchase at a fair
ate and charge the Government double.

Troy town for all the philosophers
and scientists since Adam. Armed
with the engines of war-the micros-

and still the question is unsolved, the
citadel u%nsacked. Prof. Bokorny can
tell you that albumen is composed Of
so many molecules of carbon, and nit
rogen, and hydrogen, and can persuade
you of the difference between the ac-
tive and passive albumen, and a
show by wonderfully delicate expert
ments what the aldehydes have to do
in the separation of gold from his COM
plicated solutions: but he can't tell you

You leave your silver spoon an hour

ture hen. There is phosphorus also
in that little microcosm and the oxy-
gen of the air passing through the

solves the shell, thus making good
strong bones for the chick and at the
same time thinning the prison walls.

Breaking In Car Horses.

What do car horses COST super
intendent Newell Of the new Broad
way Railroad said in answer to the
reporters questions. THAT requires
some explanation. The average
cost of the horses. when they are got
in good condition to work in front OF
the cars, is close to 1925. Say that l
buy a lot of horses at 1920 each, the
chances are that not d ne of them will
be able to do a full days work, for a
month or two. YOU see they are
green, and pulling a car load of people
isn't as easy as drawing a light road
wagon. Put new horse to a car,
and at the end of a full trip he will be
sick. They have to be broken in
slowly, and have to be7as careful with
them as if they were children. There
are a lot of them in what call our
hospital. and when some go out there
are always others to take their places.
