Sickness Of Young Children.

A large proportion of sickness
among children is attributable 10 the
insanity-for il is little short Of that
of giving children solid food before
they have teeth 10 masticate IT, Ma
ture certainly speaks plainly enough
when she sends almost all the others,
before the molars or grinding teeth.
More than one serious illness has been
caused by nothing greater than bit
Of cracker or bread crust. bitten off by
the first sharp little front teeth and
swallowed unmasticated, tolodge in the
delicate intestine and produce some
times fatal irritation. A child should
be weancd from breast or bottle, not
later than twelve months, but its food
should still be milk chiefly, and broth
and gruels, in which little soft bread
may be well soaked, until after the
eye and stomach teeth are through; il
this rule was carried out, believe me
there would be less fear and trembling
among mothers over the teethinR
period and second summers Woman.

John Ieemer Goes Down Before William
O'connor in the sc,plling Contest.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2i.-Wm. ].
0'Connor, the Canadian oarsman, de-
feated John 1,emer, OF McKeesport
Pa, the holder of the title of champion
oarsman Of America, this afternoon In
three-mile race on the Patomat
river, opposite Washington, for the
championship Of America and stsk,
Of SO 800 a side. 0'Connor rowed n
splendid form and led from the star,
to the finish, Teemer at no time being
able to overtake him. O'Conner will
row go TO Australia to battle with
Searle for the championship of th.
world. The course selected was thre,
miles with N turn. When the time
for the race, $3.50 arrived, the Goa
dumps, gas works, boat houses and
whsrves were lined with people, fully
10000 persons being spectators from
the shore, while many occupied seat
on small river crafts. The spectators
shivered In the chilly raw air Will.
the preliminsries were being arranged.
The water WAS smooth but muddy,
and the other conditions unfavorable
to good time being made. The betting
became quite lively Just before the
race and considerable moLey changed
hands, the O'Connor men first betting
even and then giving odds OF s to 4.
and when no takers could be found Of
fered 5 to 3 on their man.
1t was 4:2O when ]. r. Elder, Of the
Columbia Athletic club, who had
been selected ss referee, got the men
in line. When q minute ter he gave
the signal Co.. O'Conuor was of
like q flash and was half length in
the lead before Teemer could dip biz
oars In the water. O'Connor. with q
stroke Of "a to the minute gradually
gained on the McKeesport sculler, who
pulled about two strokes faster. AT
the half mile the Canadian had q
length of clean water between him
and his competitor, and slLwed down
his stroke to 32 to the minute. At the
mile he held his lead, but he was out
OF his course, and lost some distance,
so that at the turn he was only O
length ahead. Rounding the buoy
O'Connor put on aspuri, and with q
long, powerful pull of32 to the minute
he gained rapidiy on Teemer, and
dropping his stroke to 2s was a good
three lengths in the lead when two
miles OF the course bad been gone
over. The Canadian sculler was fresh,
and every stroke seemed full Of power,
while Teemer, though pulling 80 to
IO'Connor's % moved ahead slowly
and seemed to labor. From this point
on O'Connor increased his lead, and
slowing up toward the finish line, he
crossed it y winner by almost ten
lengths. Time, twenty minutes and
thirty-three seconds. Teemer's time
was not taken, but is believed to b,
twepty-fiye seconds slower

meeting was the reception of a Ban

J. v. Simmons presided. More than

performed that service himself. He
made 4 ringing speech and made the
bows feel that one could chase a
thousand and two put ten thousand
to fight. The Chairman accepted
the beautiful standard in wcll-chosen
words and promised that it should be
borne to victory. Mr.. w. S. Ken
bricks, a stalwart woman, straight
as an arrow and inches above the
average height of men, was designa-
ted as the hanner-bearer. The Club
then paradcd the streets, headed by
the Band, and created an enthusiasm
that presages magnificent results.
At the regular meeting of the Club
on Friday night, four Cleveland and
Thurman canes were presented to

Messrs. S. D. Hirschman & Co. The
