The Babes Ofthe World

1t has been computed that be-
tween thirty-six and thilty-seven
millions OF BABIES are born into
the world each year, says the
Leeds Mercury. The rate of pro-
ductien is therefore about seventy
minute, or therefore more than
one for every tick of the clock.
With the one minute calculation
every reader is familiar, but it is
not every one who stops to- calcu-
late what this means when it comes
To years supply. And it will
prob& 1ly therefore startle a good
many persons to find on the au-
thority OF writer In the hospital
that, could the i-fants Of q single
year be ranged in line in cradles
seven deep, they would go round
the globe. We have the ingenious
conclusion also that supposing the
little ones to grow up and the sex.
es to be about equally divided, we
should have an army a hun lred
times as large as the forces of the
British Empire, with wife in ad
dition TO every soldier. The same
writer looks at the matter in a
more picturesque way. He imag
ines the babies being carried past
a given point in their mothers
charge one by one, and the process
sion being kept up continuously
night and day until the last conner
in the twelve months had passed
by. A sufficiently liberal rate of
speed is allowed, but even with
these babies IN arms going past
twenty minute, the receiving of
flcer would only have seen a sixth
part of the infantilc host file on.
ward by the time he had been a
year at his post. In other words,
the babe that had to be carried
when the work began would be
able to toddle onward itself when a
mere fraction of its comrades 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 romping boys and girls. They
would have passed, IN fact, out of
the maternal arms into the hands
of the school teacher. Every mo-

The English syndicates continue
to purchase American breweries.
The Boston Herald suggests that
this does not indicate any fear on
The part of English capitalists that
prohibition Is likely to prevail in
this country. On the other hand
prohibitlonists say that the fact
that American brewers are selling
is an evidence that they have Sc.
rious fears as to the safety of the
brewing interests in this country,
They insist that American brewers
better understand the trend OF pub.
lie sentiment here, and therefore
their selling out is more encour'
aging sign for prohibitionists than
the purchases by the English in
vestors can be for the ants. II
these purchases have any special
significance so far as the prohibit
ton question is concerned, 1t oc
ours to us that the prohibitionists
have the better of the argument.

Stage-driyers, especihlly 10 the
newer parts of the country, are
commonly men Of abundant nerve
and of an independent spirit. Such
man was the famous Jehu,"
Hank Monk, whose route was over
the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
Once and only once, he is said to
have had the honor OF counting
Horace Greedy among passengers.
The editor was to lecture tsat even
ing at Placerville.
As tue horses climed slowly up
the eastern side Nj. Greedy feared
he should be late. Twice he urged
the driver forward, bat the reticent
Monk paid not the slightest heed.
Finally they reached the summit
and began to descend. Then
cracked the long idle whip, aad
the horses at full run tore along be
side preclpices where a single stone
or misstep would send coach, dri-
yer and passenger TO swift destfuc-
ton.
Tossed about in the bounding
vehicle, Mr.. Greedy assured the
driver that such haste was quite
unnecessary; that half an hour
sooner or later would make no ma
terial difference.
"Keep your seat, Mr.. Greedy" re.
piled the imperturable Monk, with
q ire Jh crack of his whip, "keep
your scat. I'll get you to Placer
vile in time"
Through that overruling Provi.
dence which cares for the careless,
the journey was accomplished in
safety, and the story so pleased the
Calitornians that they presented
Monk with handsome gold watch
bearing the inscription. keep
your seat, Mr.. Greeley. I'll get
you to Placerville in time"
One night afterward, when
Monks coach was late, he drove
very hard to the terror OF self
important local Judge, who vainly
urged Monk again and again to
drive carefully. At length. with
pompous gravity, he thundered:

SensouabIe Hints.

Cultivate the peach orchards in
the same manner as when cultivas-
ing corn. That is, use the cnltiva-
tor and stir the top soil frequent

While the Keller pear ils not
equal in equality to the Bartlett
pear, yet IL presents very attract

is usually saleable.
The production of raisins in CAL
ifornia iast ear reached aoout
10, 900, 600 pounds. The toal con-
sumption OF raisins in the United
States amounts to about 100000
pounds.
A new barrel has been introduce
ed to be used in shipping southern
vegetables. 1t Is made ON the same
plan as peach basket, which al
lows better ventilation than other
barrels.
II you have a"rampant" growth
of strawberry vines in June or Ju-
ly, you can mulch nicely by SOW
ing among them the last of July
oats and allow them to grow among
them.
In many localities where the
growing OF peaches is very uncer-
tain it will pay to plant seedlings
| rather than the budded varie tics,
as usually they will withstand cold
somewhat the best.
1t may not always be profitable
for the farmer to engage in the bus
mess of growing fruit for the mar
ket, but it will be an exceptional
case where sufficient supply for
home consumption cannot be
grown.
After each rain the q ound should
be cultivated lightly in order to
prevent evaporation of moisture.
The loose dirt serves as covering
and shields the earth from the di-
rect effects of drying winds and the
heat of the sun.
" eeds make excellent green ma
nure If turned under. A rank
growth of weeks indicates fertile
land, but such land can be exhaust.
ed by removing weeds as we'll as
by removing a regular crop. 1t
will pay, therefore, to turn the
weeds under and let them rot in
the ground.
Plants cannot live without leaves.
1t is through them that they
breathe and if they are taken off
the pla It's will be more Or less in
jured, while if they are kept off the
plants will die for want of breath.
Hence clean work in cutting off the
top of weeds just above the ground
will keep them out.
Remember the same rule as to
fruit growing will not apply the
country over, as for instance, it is
best to cultivate apple orchards
and manure well on eastern long
used soils while on the new virgin
western soils, seeding down may be
best, and too, while it will do to
manure well for red raspberries
and black berries on older worn
soil; 1T will not do on rich new
soil.
In growing the peach, deep cult
ure, unless the orchard has prev i
ously been deeply worked, is not
advisable. Thorough cultivation
is desirable for all fruit trees and
especially so for the peach. 1t les
sens the tendency TO dryness and
prevents undue heating of the soil
by the sun. 1t also reduces the
temperature and increses the mois-
ture OF the soil beneath.-Eli
Mincb.

If farmers would visit each other

and talk about the practical work
of the farm, more useful knowledge
would be gained than by attending
farmers meetings during the win

long winded theories. The winter
meetings a:e doubtless good, bu,

Mothers.


There are upon the skin OF every hui
man being, child and adult alike, 300
900 pores. Through these pores in the
form of insensible perspiration, is ex-
PEELED more than ne-quarter of the
nourishment taken into the system.
The Importance of keeping open these
perspiration valves upon a child g body,
is second only to thet of promptly d.
costing the TODD eaten. 1t was to open
the pores of the skin and to assimilate
the food that Dr. Pitcher formulated
Castoria. Loose bowels, constipation,
fesers and erupticns which are so con-
slant among infants and children, and
which kill one-third of all children be-
fore they are five years old, arise prin-
cipally from these two causes. 1t is
from the wonderful results attendant
upon the use of Castoria in regulating
the stomachs and bowels ard keeping
open the pores of the skin, that Casto-
ria acquired its world wide reputation.
With plenty Of water for the body,
pure air for the lungs and Castoria to
the food, there need be no
for sickness among chill
dren. Castoria ia a vegetable prescrip-
ton without morphine or other narcotic
properly. Thirty years extensive use
has given it = history yer attained by
another medicine.

There is a kind of swearing
which many peopls are given tt
when they are angry. Instead o.
giving vent to their feelings in
oaths, they slam the doors. kick
the chairs, stamp on the floor,
throw the furniture about, and
make all the noise they possibly
can. 1t is practically the same
thing as swearing, springs from the

avoids saying those awful words;
they force their furniture to make
