Meeting Of the Legislature.

The Sixty-fourth Legislature of Maine
meets at Augusta tomorrow. Gov Bur-
leigh will be inaugurated and deliver his ad-
dress on Thursday. The preliminary eau
cuses to settle the presiding officers of the
Senate and House will be held this evening.
As the Republicans constitute the great ma
lority OF both branches, the nominees of the
Republican caucus are certain of election.
There are only two candidates for President
OF the Senate the Hon. Herbert M. Heal. of
Augusta, and the Hon. Henry Lord of Ban
gor. The contest Is understood to be very
close. Both candidates are claiming til cir
nominations with great apparent confidence.
For Speaker of the House, the most promi-
nsnt candidates are Col. Fred N. Dow of
Portland and the Hon. Lewis A. Barker of
Bangor. OF course the Speakership will de-
pend somewhat on the settlement of the
Presidency of the Senate. If Mr.. Lord is
selected for the latter, then Mr.. Barker is put
practically out of the fight, for it is highly
improbable that the presiding officers of
both branches will be taken from the same
city. Col. BOWS supporters confidently
claim his election in any event, a claim how
ever that Mr.. Barker's friends do not admit.
The contest for the officers Of the Legisla-
ture is not likely. however, to be half as spir-
tied as for the nominations for some of the
State offices. The contest over the adjutant
generalship is especially vigorous, and from
some recent developments it is not too much
to say that it has become decidedly acrimo-
NOUS. The candidates are the present adju-
tant general, S. j. Gallagher, and Col. HI.
M. Sprague, at present the head of the PEN
sion office. Col. Sprague has the almost
unanimous support of the militia, and is very
confident Of success, in spite of the bitter at
tack made upon him in scurrilous anony-
nous circular which 1t is understood has
been placed in the hands of every member of
the Legislature. For the attorney general
ship the contest is between ex-Speaker Lit
tlefeld of RockIand, and the Hon. f. A.
Powers Of Houlton. In this contest both the
candidates are represented as feeling the ut
most confidence. While earnest, this contest
is free from bitterness, and has been carried
on in an entirely honorable manner by both
gentlemen. The present secretary of State
and the present treasurer will probably be
renominated without opposition.

infant Mortality.
The Sanitary News

Every now and then an article appears
ON the subject of infant mortality, and
such questions as Nv hat kills our bdbies?'
are frequently asked 1t is acknowledged
that the death-gate among infants is out Of
proportion to that of older classes, and
different causes are assigned for the great
mortality. There are probably several
causes but the treatment of infants, the
kind of food and care given them, are very
seldom mentioned 1t will also be noticed
that the death-rate is larger IN our cities
than in the country. This is an import
ant fact in considering this subject. As
a rule the infant in the country receives
the tender care Of its mother. In our large
cities, this care is rather the exception.
In the country the child is nourishcd at the
mothers breast. but in the city this does
not so generally occur. The mothers often
ignorantly devote their time to the de
mands Of society, to the serious neglect Of
the little flame of life ready to be blown
out by puff of wind through the open
door or window The infant in the city
does not so regularly receive its natural
nourishment. 1t receives artificial foods
from inexperienced hands twill probably
astOnish many to learn the amount OF these
foods consumed I'm year 10y the infants OF
this country, most all of which is confined
TO the cities Dr. Frederick Hoffman, of
New York, states that from reliable esti-
mates the quantity Of artificial foods an
nually consumed in the United States
amounts, in money value, to about. S. 600.
900 to $40, 100000. In view Of this large
amount of infant food annually consumed.
and the high death-rate among infants In
the larger cities, it is reasonable to con-
clude that there is a close connection be-
tween the food and death-rate.
Not many of these foods have been ana
lived by am official or independent chemist.
The composition Of many of them is nm
known. md it is questionable whether
they haze been manufactured with amy re-
gard TO physiological principles or chem
ical accuracy regarding the proportions
and ingredients Of the uutritiYe food eIe-
ments.
These foods are constantly increasing in
number, and a. yet there has not been amy
Official action taken to determine their
character BIS reliable chemists We be-
