giene, the properties of food, the diet
proper to infants, and, as far as pos
sible, in all the practical branches
which have the most direct bearing on
the life they are to lead. 1t is OF
small consequence whether they know
decimal fractions and the boundaries
or population of China, but it is of the
utmost Importance that they should
not waste the hard earned money of
their future husbands by an unintelli-
gent household regime. and it is also
OF much Importance that they know
how to take care of their children, how
to escape avoidable disease by a ra-
tiOnal diet and regard for sanitary
laws. l doubt if any one realizes the
enormous waste of life and health
which the ignorance Of mothers en-
tails upon society. A young mother,

accomplishments and teach them to
blush at the thought Of the state for
which God has destined them, instead
Of arming them with useful knowledge

The farmers around Elberton. Ga,
know the worth of persimmons, and
for years have made it a point never
to cut down a persimmon tree. In
places SO many trees have been left
standing that the feds look like or
chards ; and indeed they are, per-
simmon orchards, the trees of which
bear fine crops of fruit almost as
valuable as corn for fattening hogs.
The farmers say that the persimmon
tree draws but little strength or mois-
lure from the soil, and that excellent
crops are grown even beneath their
shade.

His Proper Sphere: An Alabama
man who wanted to find out what pro-
fession his son was best fitted for, put
him in a room one day with a bible, an
apple and a dollar bill. If he found
him. when he returned, reading the
bible he would make a clergyman of
him; if eating the apple a farmer ; and
it interested in the dollar bill q banker.
When he returned, however, he found
tho boy sitting ON the bible, with the
dollar bill in his pocket and the apple
almost deyoured, and SO he decided to
make u politician of him.-New York

"Do consanguineous marriages
necessarily lead to diseases in the
offspring ," is a question that has
been argued pro and con for a great
many years. Alfred Henry HutI has
furnished a very carefully considered
answer i'll the negative in his work
entitled ''The Marriage of Near Kim
London Longmans, 1897. Mr..
H1th examines, in the light Of all the
known facts, first !: Whether consan-
gaineous marriages ire themselves.
by the mere fact Of consanguinity
and irrespective of any inheritance.
injurious to the offspring whether in u
marriage between relatives who are
both perfectly healthy, who live under
healthy conditions. and whOse.families
are perfectly healthy, the children
born will probably be unhealthy.
And, second : Whether consanguine-
q marriages give = greater proper
ton Of unhealthy children than nom
eonsanguineous marriages; or, in
other words, whether it is a fact that
consanguineous marriages, through
intensitication of a previously dormant
hereditary family faint, give a greater
proportion of unhealthy children.
His conclusion, substantially, is that
providing both parents are healthy.
no harm need be expected to result
to the children Of such marriages 4;
while it both parents exhibit a pro-
clivity to any particular form of dis
ease la. for example, s~crofula,) the
tendency is likely to be exaggerated
in the children. This accords with
practical, everyday experience of the
stock raiser and horse breeder.-Cni-

The most casual reader of partisan
Republican papers cannot help NOTICE
ing that there is a feeling of dissatis-
faction with the President in his
party. So far the appointments to
office have been fairly good without
being noticeable for fitness, but the
Senate is impatient because nomina-
tions are not made faster, while the
politicians complain at neglect on the
part Of the President. So pronounced
has this become that MI. Miller, who,
as the Republican candidate for Cover
no of New York last fall, allowed him
self to be slaughtered that Harrison
might carry the State, declares that
there is a political hereafter in store
for the President. Mr.. Miller is dis
gruntled because he has had nothing
to say, while MIR. Platt, of that State,
who is the especial friend of Mr..
Blaine, apparently has things his own
way. The Illinois people are cross be-
cause the State has been practically
ignored by the President, as Il sort of
punishment for its espousal of Ores
ham Ill the nominating convention.
In Indiana there is a complaint that
the President has recognized the Porter
wing OF the party, which has never
been specially friendly to him, and
turned the cold shoulder to John G.
New, who secured the nomination Of
Harrison at Chicago. The ways of
some OF the members of the cabinet do
ot suit members Of congress, but it is
probables that Mr.. Wanamaker and
Mr.. Tracy will learn more Of machine
methods after being awhile longer in
office. 1t is a pity to see the enthnsi-
assn OF the Republicans a short time
ago so dampened over the spoils of
victory.-Chicago Ncms.

Making buttons of blood is one of
the many ways known of utilizing
waste. There is a large factory in
Bridgeport, near Chicago, employing
about 100 boys and girls. in which
waste animal blood is converted into
buttons. The same firm has another
large factory elsewhere. A man
named Hirsh was the first to intro
dnce the business into this country
some years ago. He lost 1000 in
the first six months, bnt ne stuck to
1t and is now immensely wealthy.
There are Il number of similar factor
les i'll England. From 5000 to 10000
gallons of blood are used in the Bridge
port factory every day. Nothing but
fresh beef blood is used. 1t is said
that pigs blood is just us good, but it
Is too much trouble to collect and save
1t. Considerable of the blood evapor-,
ates during the process of drying, but
what remains is pure albnmen. Some
Of it is light in color and some dark,
according to the chemical treatment
given it. These thin sheets Of dried
blood are then broken up and are
ready. to he worked into various shapes
and sizes. Not only are buttons made
from blood in this way, but tons of
earrings, %breastpins, be~lt-clasps,
combs and trinkets are made annually
there from blood.-Phrenological jour-
nal.

P. & W. Train Robbers Run Down in Kit.
tanning by Detectives.
Detective Thomas Rhall, of the Pittsburg
and Western road, assisted by Detectives
Sheppard and Stiveson, yesterday arrested
Thomas Davis, Sr., Thomas Davis, Jr.,
Samuel Davis and Patrick Walch, of Kit
tanning, charged with robbing Pittsburg
and Western cars. On February 2 and
three Baltimore and Ohio cars containing
goods valued between S., 900 and Sc, 900 were
riaed. The goods were consigned to ten
consignees, principally in this city, Spang,
Chalfant & Co. being one of them.
Detective Rhall began to work on the
case, and last week searched the house of
James McGill, of Heirs Island. He found
enough goods to fill wagon, and hole in
the cellar where other articles had evidently
been concealed. McGill disclaimed all
knowledge of the theft and blamed his wife.
Through driver the goods were traced to
Kittaning. Detective Rhall stated the goods
were stolen by brother of McGill's wife.
The detectives found in the barns of
Thomas Davis, Sr., and Thomas Davis, Jr.,
two wagon loads of plunder. After lively
chase Thomas Davis, the son, was captured,
and the others were easily lodged in Jail.
The officers got the names of As persons to
whom the Davises had sold goods for less
than their cost. They were brought to
Pittsburg last night.

BOYS HAVING WELTS
May be Called by Agent O'Brien to
Continue a Cruelty Case.
ALLEGHENY'S INSTANCE REVIVED
By an Official Who Seems Determined to
Fellow 1t to the End.
WERE THE BOYS THREATENED, ALSO

Eddie Gifin, one of the boys prominently
mentioned in the alleged abuses at the
Protestant Home for Boys on Anderson
street, Allegheny, has received notice to
vacate the house. Several days ago he got
letter from the Secretary of theinstitution,
requesting him to vacate the premises as his
company was no longer desired. He has
been given until May to make up his mind
where to go. If he returns to the house he
will be put out.
Two other boys, who were prominently
mentioned in the affair, and one of whom
first brought the matter to the attention of
the Humane Society, will leave on Tues
day, on account of the treatment received.
The managers Of the Humane Society
WILL MEET TUESDAY
afternoon in their rooms in the Penn build
ing to receive the report of Agent O'Brien,
and instruct him what to do.
Agent O'8rien is getting evidence, and
has pile of manuscript containing un-
sworn testimony in his Office. He says if
there is no influence brought to bear upon
the boys to prevent them from testiiyine
there will be some interesting facts brought

allegation made by one of the large boys
who says he happened to hear one in author
ity make what was considered by them TO
be serious threat. He says that after the
management had been exonerated last
Monday night one of them said to a number
of the boys: "You made it hot for me last
week, now will make it hot for you this
week"
While speaking of the matter yesterday,
Agent O'Brien said: 81 do not know any
other thing for the society to do but to go
ahead. Notwithstanding the action of the
Board of Managers of the home in exoner-
ating the Superintendent, the
EVIDENCES OF SEVERITY
are so palpable that we cannot get over
them. If the management made the threat,
to make it hot for the boys, as has been al
legged, then there will be continuation of
the alleged abuses.
"This would not be the first time boys
have been inhumanly treated in such insti-
tutions. 1 got evidence in one case where
a boy was thrown out of the second story
window about one year ago, and had to
sleep in the Allegheny lookup that night
sit has been stated in the papers that if
the society pushes the case it will injure us.
The people that are setting up this cry do
not contribute 81 to maintain the organiza-
ton, and it is not at all likely that they
have been authorized to speak for those that
do. Our duty in the matter is clear, and 1
do not think it will injure us in the least.
The blue and black marks on the bodies of
the small boys were not put there by them
selves"

AUFRECHT's ELITE GALLERY.
Rivals Attempt TO Use Its Name to Boost
Their Business.

Rivals Attempt TO Use Its Name to Boost
Their Business.
The high reputation of Aufrecht's Elite
Gallery, at SIG Market street, is shown by
the fact that rivals in the business are at
tempting to use the name to advertise them
selves. Certain persons who were employed
by Mr. Aufrecht as subordinates for brief
period, advertise that they had conducted the
Elite for five years. This statement is
wholly incorrect, as Mr.. Aufrecht has always
personally managed his gallery, and now
operates the camera himself and gives per-
sonal attention to all work done in his estab-
Gshment.
Mr.. Aufrecht is not only irst-class ar
tist himself, known throughout this country
and even in Europe for his artistic skill,
taste and experience, but he has recently
employed number of the most competent
artists to take charge of the different depart
ments of his extensive business. At the
Elite the finest work known to the photog-
rapher's art is turned out at marvelously
cheap rates considering its light quality.
1t is lasting, and is guaranteed never to
fade.
An important feature of the methods
employed at the Elite is the fact that no
defective work is permitted to leave the
place, and to this end sittings are given and
insisted upon until not merely the patron,
but the proprietor is satisfied. Children are
always welcome An elevator is accessible
and every facility is offered for the comfort
and convenience of patrons. All are
cordially welcomed at the Elite, No. 516
Market street.

one, and the enthusiasm unbounded.
The hall was most elaborately and fitting

Before the doors were opened reception
was held In the parlors of the hotel. The
members of the club and visitors were intro

popular with everybody. Senator Della

We wish to make a general apology 10
our out-of-toWr customers for delays which
have occurred in shipping their goods dur
ing the last three weeks. Owing to confu-
sion incidental to the enlarging Of our store,
it was simply impossible to keep up with
our orders. Although we are not yet fixed
up, wehave things in shape that this delay
will not occur in the iuture- Having
doubled the capacity of our stores, we feel
as though we were let loose from straight
jacket, for, before, we had scarcely room to
move.
We now have the largest floor space Of
any retail grocer In Western Pennsylvania.
We have twice as many clerks, run more
delivery wagons and sell three times as
many goods as any other retail grocer. We
guarantee our weights, measures, prices and
quality Of goods-in short, we guarantees
perfect satisfaction. If anyone is not salts
fed, we will take back. the goods without
expense to him.
Our great bargains in California evapor.
ated fruits are immensely popular. We sold
one-half ton of prunelles in one week, and
have one ton left. But our price, Ms,
25e-did it. We can still offer California
nectarines, Ds., 25c; Calf. egg plums, 8
Ds., 25e; Calf. prunes, 8 fbs., 25c; Calf.
apricots (good), Ds., 25e; Calf. evan.
pears, fbs., 25c; Calf silver prunes. =

These prices are 90 per cent less than whole
sale prices. The fruits are the best. After
deducting freight and the cost of putting
them on the market, there is nothing left
for the man who grew them. But agricul-
ture is the foundation of society, so they
say. and, as usual, the foundation is buried
away out Of sight.
