BABY DESTROYING.

The Many Deaths OF Children Caused by
Ignorance and Neglect of Parents or
Attendants.
1t has come to be a gospel with young
married folk that the second summer is
the destroyer 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 summer
heat is dangerous to all young children;
it is in connection with the bad diet OF
the second summer that it is fatal II
is a well-estabhshed fact that nearly all
the mortality of second-summer babies
is from diseases of the digestive organs.
and these come from irrational artificial
feeding. Children come to the table,
eat pickles, unmashed or fried Jumps of
potatoes, beets, radishes. and the like.
and the trouble begins. The stereotyped
answer to the question; what does
the child eat?" is: 20. it eats at the
table with the rest of the family"
The result is enteric diseases and
death, and the cause of death is
ascribed to the second summer. The
first summer the baby stays at home,
has its natural food, and pulls through
fairly well. But the second sammer it
must show of. 1t is trundled down
town through the heat of July or Au-
gust day, is oyerheated. excited. and its
nervous system put to the strain. Keep
the yearlings at home; give them a
grass plat and sand-pile. Do not let
them come to the table, give wholesome
food-milk, oat meal ground very fine
and stirred and cooked for twenty min
utes. Put them to bed at dark with q
garment they can not kick off when the
nights are cool. Battle them in tepid
water night and morning. Stay at home
with them and take care uf them your
self, for it is not 1.-The second summer
which kills the children. but the ignor-
ance or negligence of those who attend,
or rather do not attend, them. Colds
and calves get through their second
summers quite as we'll as their first, and
there is no reason that the human ami
NAL should not live quite as close to ma
ture and do quite as well.-Indianap-

A Texas Centipede.

The centipede is not apretty insect.

a lot of little Chiricahua Indian pa,

holes and greedily devouring them.
legs, poison and all, no longer doubted
the wisdom and benefcence of their
creation. In the course of my check
cred career have had several adven-
lures with centipedes and always came
out second best. A centipede can raise
blister on a mans body quicker than
red hot iron. and if you don't imme-
diately apply remedial poultice of
pounded prickly pear and dose yourself
inwardly with post whisky-which latter
is warranted to kill anything but an
army mule-the resultant effects NAV
be serious. Centipedes usually attack
their victim at night, when he is asleep
and can't defend himself. They are
armed with about 200 little lances con-
veniently lashed to the toe of each foot
of which they have several-and at
the base of each lance is tiny sack of
venom. If a centipede crawls across
your body-which he'll most likely do
if you lie down anywhere within a half
mile of him-you'll have no difficulty in
following his trail and you'll remember
his visit for weeks. No man ever died
from the bite of centipede, but have
known one to make man wish he were
dead. Times.

A RAILWAY MANS LIFE.
Evidence Of the General Confidence Bl

Evidence of the General Conndence BE-
slowed on Railway Presidents.
Talking with the president of one OF
the most important trunk lines yester-
day, a Tribune reporter heard the fol-
lowing stories: There are incidents
even in the hard life of a railroad man."
said the officer, (which go to brighten
his lot. and l am convinced that some
of them are wasted through want of
appreciation. The other day received
a letter from man in the West, who
wrote that if sent him $500 and a pass
over the road he would come to New
York and give me y remedy for settling
all railroad troubles and restoring the
power to make profitable dividends to
the stockholders. Something funnier
than this. however. happened the other
day. A man came to me with new
lubricating grease, which he claimed
would save $50, 600 year to the COM
pany by reason of the superior qualities
it possessed, which were sufficient to
effect that result. He was referred by
the president to the first vice president,
who referred him to the superintendent,
VINO reIeTTeU nlIu W Tue SUPERINTENDENT
of motive power, who referred him to
the master mechanic. The latter, after
examining the lubricator, referred the
man hack to the superintendent of
motive power. who referred him back
to the superintendent. who referred him
back to the first vice president, who re-
ferred him back to the president. He
said to me that he had been detained
here longer than he had expected, and,
unfortunately. his board bill was in ar
rears. He proposed that if would
give him twenty dollars to pay his
clearinghouse keeper and enable him
to get home, he would confidentially
leave with me as security for the loan
the recipe for making the new grease!'
After q hearty laugh over the remem-
brance of the incident. the president
added thoughtfully: Now, as this man
had never seen me before. and as most
people do not know me. and as an in
ventor does not usually intrust his
profitable secret to another, / take il

dence felt by the public in the presi-
