THE BABIES OF THE WORLD.
Nearly Thirty-seyen Millions of Them
Appear Every Year.


1t has been computed that between
36, 100000 and 37,000,000 of babies are
born into the world each year, says the
Leeds Mercury. The rate of production
is therefore about seventy minute, or
rather more than one for every beat of
the clock. With the one-a-minute cal
culation every reader is familiar, but it
is not every one who stops to calculate
what this means when it comes to II
years supply. And it will probably,
therefore, startle a good many persons
to find on the authority of Il writer In
the hospital that could the infants of "a
year be ranged in line in cradles seven
deep they would go around the globe.
We have the ingenious conclusion also
tn at supposing the little ones to grow
up and the sexes to be about
equally divided, we should have an
army hundred times as large as the
forces OF the British empire, with a wife
in addition to every soldier. The same
writer looks at the matter in "a still more
picturesque light. He imagines the
babies being carried past given point
in their mothers charge one by one and
the procession being kept up contiuu-
ously night and day until the last conner
in the twelvemonth has passed by. A
sufficiently liberal rate of speed is al
lowed, but even with these pabies-in-
arms gong past twenty a minute, the
rear wing officer would only have seen
sixth part of the infantine host file
onward by the time he had Deen a year
at his post. In other words, the babe
that haa to he carried when the work
began would be able to toddle onward
itself when a mere fraction of its com
rades had reached the saluting post;
and when the years supply of babies
was tapering to close, there would be
rear guard not of infants, but of romp-
ing boys and girls. They would have have

HUTCHINSON, Kan, May 9.-There have

A FIRE IN AUSTIN.

A fire in northwestern part of the city
burned house belonging to Frank Hal
verson, carpenter. No one was in the
house at the time, as Mrs. Halverson had
been in Minneapolis for two or three
weeks and Mr., Halverson went out Thurs
day to work for Mr., Riley near Oakland.
He knew nothing of his loss until his re-
turn to the city Saturday evening and
can throw no light on the origing of the
fire. 1t seems To have been of incendi-
ary origin. The building was worth
about $500 and insured for $4OO.

It is TO be seen that there is not proper

Now, II must be conceded that there are

il is certainly necessary that there should

date no action has been taken and the
only hope for the passage OF the measure
by this Congress, apparently, Is the success
Of motion to suspend the rules, which
would require majority Of two. thirds. Il
Is rather doubtful II such motion would
prevail in behalf of new legislation Of such
Importance, 10 which there IN pretty
