The chief attraction of Rev. De Witt

Of art as a power for good. He CLAIMS
that the worlds brain is a picture gal
lery of impressions and scenes, that
our lives are nodded by the character
of pictures we study. He then makes
this bold assertion:

HINTS FOR MOTHERS.

How to Take Care OF Baby'S Hair and
When to Feed Him.
We do not believe that ''heavy hair
takes away strength" Heavy hair
may be burdensome to weak people by
its weight. in the same way that
heavy head-dress might be. Its
growth is only weakening in the same
sense that all growth may be. and the
growth Is ordinarily compensated for by
food. In any event there is no way OF
retarding the growth Of the hair; cut
ting only stimulates it. but it may re-
lieve the sense Of weight.
The height OF q child at birth is on
an average from twenty to twenty-one
inches; at the end OF year the aver
age gain is about eight inches, making
twentyeight or twenty-nine inches.
The gain during the second year will
perhaps average about four inches.
A child of six months should, if well,
have five meals per diem, and the
same arrangement will continue until
1t is ten months or more Of age. Sup
posing that it wakes at six a. m, and
Is fed directly, four-hour intervals will
make the meal hours six and ten u M,
two, six and ten p. m; no food in the
night between ten p. m. and waking in
the morning. These hours and inter-
walls will vary little, according to the
time Of the child's morning waking.
Too frequent feeding is to be avoided.
Very young babies take food much
Oftener than five times daily.
We should do nothing for the hair
beyond keeping the head clean. Many
children are extremely slow in getting
hair, but it comes ultimately, and, so
far as we have observed, just as album
dantlyas in other children. The growth
and development of children is very
often fitful and uneven, one part grow
ing seemingly at the expense Of an
other for the time.
The sucking Of a thumb is thought
by direct pressure to sometimes make
the central part Of the upper jaw pro-
trude. But the habit is so common,
and the result relatively so rare, that
we do not feel sure Of the consequence
unless the jaws were rickety. The
sucking OF tho whole fist would not be
likely to give a pointing Of the jaw

who had driven their teams close to the
track and remained in waiting, expecting
that the engine and train would soon move
away. At the expiration Of twenty min

A shooting affair in which the bartender,
Cunningham. at The Olympic dance house
on East Park street, and q stranger named
Pence, were the active participants
occurred Sunday night. Pence and
a friend visited the place together Sun.
day evening, and in some unexplained
way the latter became involved In angry
controversy with the French piano player.
Cunningham, who claims to be a French.
man, sided with the piano thumpers. and
in the angry alteration that ensued, drew
a revolver and made an attempt to shoot
Pence. He would undoubtedly have &C
compiished bis purpose had not a bystand.
er, seeing his intent, struck his arm and
knocked the pistol upward. The ball, in
stead OF speeding to the death OF Pence,
lodged in the ceiling.
After doing the shooting Cunningham
left the place and GUIDED the officers until
last night, when he was captured by Officer
Warner, and at last accounts was out
with the officer looking for bondsmen. n
