THIRST IN YOUNG INFANTs,-It is
a mistake to suppose that because milk
is a liquid food 1t is at the same time a
drink which is capable of satisfying the
thirst of infants. Although milk ap-
peases hunger, it makes thirst more in
tense after it has remained some time
In the stomach and digestion OF it has
begun. 1t is that thirst which causes
healthy, breast nourished infants to cry
for long periods Of time in many in
stances. There are many cases Of indi-
gestion due to weakness or insufliclency
of the child's gastric juice, which would
be greatly benefited, OF even cured, If
the Child was allowed an occasional
drink of water.

TWICE within three months the throne of itation of death The Emperor Frederick III died on Friday last and William IT now reigns in his stead. The deceased emperor was beloved by his people, as was his father before him, and his high character inspired confidence in the future of the empire as realm of peace, until disease marked his reign to be brief one. The new emperor is not as popular. Many known traits of his character inspire distrust and uneasines. The most hopeful feature is that he is much under the influence of Prince Bismark, but the latter's advanced age forbids this being very stable hope. His character may be inferred from the fact that his hatred of everything English is carried so far as to reach tho point -of i'm perial disregard of his mother, who is daugh- ter of Queen Victoria of England. Until re- gently he has refused to recognize her in pub lie. Once when bleeding from an injury he told her that he would be glad if every drop of English blood would flow from his veins. No wonder that German people, French peo- pie, English people, everybody-feels con- cerned on his accession at so young an age, and with such traits of character. He is 30 years of age.
 The death of the emperor is now fully shown to have been from cancerous trouble. Indeed, the English physician who took issue with the German physicians now admits that he had all along conceded this, though he had permitted contrary impression to prevail.
 The executive committee of the Willi- mantle Camp Meeting Association held its annual meeting on the grounds, which are in fine condition, last Friday. and decided to hold the annual camp meeting from Aug. 13 to 21st. J. D. Wilson, of South Coventry, was appointed to succeed Will liam Pearce on the board, the latter hav- ing removed from Mantle to California.
 The annual meeting of the trustees of the Willimantic Savings institute was held Monday afternoon. Nearly all of the 30 corporators were present. In the choice of officers Hon. B. A. Buck was reelected president Frank F,Webb, who some time ago was placed in the bank as an assistant, was elected treasurer.
