A MILLION OF BABIES.

Take your pencil and follow me, while we figure on what will happen to the ], ,O0O, 900 of babies that will have been born in the last l, 900, 900 seconds.
 I believe that is about the average s'one every time the clock ticks.'
 One year henca, if statistics don't belle us, we wi have lost 15G, 900 of these little s'prides of the household"
 A year later 8, ,000 mora will be keeping company with those that have gone before.
 At the end of the third year we find that 22.000 more have dropped by the wayside.
 The fourth year they have become ru. ged little darlings, not nearly so suscept s ole to infantlle diseases, only 5000 having succumbed to the rigors imposed by the master. By the time they have arrived at the age of twelve years, but paltry few hundred leave the track each year.
 After three score years have come and gone we find less trouble in counting the army with which We st ,rted in the fall ti 1889.
 Of the l. ,OO0, GOO with which we began our count but 37O,O0O remain, 63O, ,0O( have gone the way of all the world, and the remaining few have forgotten tha they ever existed.
 At the end of eighty, or taking oul D., there are stiff s7,ooo gray haired shaky old grannies and grandfathers toothless, hairless and happy.
 In the year 1884 our 100000 babiei with which we started in 1889 will have dwindled to an insignificant -223 helpless old wrecks, "s.randed on the shores c time"
 Ia 1892 all but seventeen have left thi' mundane sphere forever, while the las remaining wreck will probably, in seemi1 { thoughtlessness, watch the sands filte through the hour-glass of time, and die il the year 1896 at the age of one buudret and eight.

Senator Gall thinks the United States should purchase Cuba; but admits that there are great many obstacles in the way. Germany, he says, holds a mort. gage on the island Spain doesn't want to sell, and the United States doesn't seem anxious to buy. It is thought that Spain is so sensitive on the subject of selling Cuba that when the subject is mentioned the dons of the bankrupt court of Madrid blush. There are other reasons why the United States do not care to purchase al this time. We expect the "gem of the Antilles" to drop into our lap from the crown of Spain. Besides, the experiment of Americanizing the Spaniards of that island would be 8 troublesome one. They are prouder of being small Spanish pota toes, so to speak than they would be to be come citizens of the greatest and freest re public on earth.

Perhaps no local disease has. puzzled and bafded the medical profession more than nasal catarrh. While not immediately fatal 1t IS among the most distressing and disgusting ills tho flesh is heir to, and the records show very few or no cases of radical curs of ehron- ic catarrh by any of tho multitude of modes of treatment until the introduction of Elv's Cream Balm few years ago.

lincoln as an Inventor.

II - not generally known that Abra.
ham Lincoln was something Of an in.
ventor. A patent solicitor, who now
lives In Kansas City. says: During .
long residence and practice In Wash.
ington, d. c., examined nearly every
patent this government has issued. and
one day while rumaging over Q lot Of
old-timers ! struck one issued to Abra
ham Lincoln in 1916. II was issued
for a device to enable river boat to
relieve itself from sandbar whenever
it should run aground on one. have
always been an admircr of Lincoln.
and this find had considerable interest
for me. ] took pains to look the model
up, and 1t was certainly an ingenious
continuance. Abe had evidently made
his own model and prepared his own
papers. What wag the device likei
Well. from the model and description
1t would be large bellows-like appa-
rstus made of leather and iron, which
would be attached to the bottom Of the
guards on either side of the river boat.
When not in use 1t was folded and form.
ed part Of the guard. His idea was that
when boat was grounded the pilot. by
pressing q button, could open air
chambers, which In turn would initiate
with air the arrangement attached under
the guards to an extent sufficient te
raise the boat and allow 1t to be driven
to deeper water. In his youth sup.
pose Abe was on the rivers in Illinois
to a considerable extent. and was
familiar with all the Inconvenience OF
river travel, and his invention was the
result Of depending considerable time Cd

Commercial Value OF Beauty;

Mrs. Langtry's beauty was an en-
dowment worth about 81, 000, 900. As
business venture she has paid inter-
est at per cent. on two millions. but
then she has oil years. such IS the one
three seasons ago. when she dyed her
hair. and this year. when she is har-
raised In a grim, malignant. and rasp-
ing way by the govt. The Langtry's
beauty was more productive Of gold
than the genius Of Rachel. Rosa Bon
heur, George Sand. Ouida, and George
Eliot combined. In the view Of all
all this. why sneer at beauty on the
stage? 1t makes the world wabble al
ways on its beaten track. and casts .
blush over the face OF the moon.
Had Mrs. Brown-Potter been rs
beautiful as she is reckless, she, too,
might have been quoted in seven
figures.
A vivid idea Of the commercial value
of beauty may be had when one con-
siders the cases of one or two actresses
conspicuously lacking in physical at
fractions. Agnes Booth would have
been more than q second Adelaide
Nelson if her superb figure had been
crowned by beautiful face. As it Is.
she is undoubtedly the most capable
and artistic actress in America, and
her art has lifted her to higher plane
than nature at first designed. But the
fatal gift is not there. Despite her
maturity. she occupies commanding
position In the first stock company in
the country; but whereas statue and
wooden Langtry makes 200. 600 or e70,-
600 year. the exquisite art of an Agnes
Booth, unaided by beauty. must be con-
tent with one-sixth of that sum.
Theatregoers, according to dramatic
experts. are growing weary OF the
older professional beauties. Lillian
Russell and Pauline Hall have trained
of lot of flesh, but one does not
like to think that they did not grow SO,
but were forced down to their present
symmetrical lines by bicycle riding. a
starvation diet tremendous walks on
dusty roads. and the remuneration oil
half the good things Of life.--Dsmve,
Republican,.

Choosing . Sweetheart.

Choose your sweetheart carefully,
wisely and tenderly. my dear girls,
says . writer In the Ladies' Home Jour
nal. Remember he Is to be more than
even this to you some .day-he Is to be
your husband. for surely you are not
one Of the girls who have sweetheart
here. and one there. and gives little
love to this one and little to that one,
until when the real one appears the
perfect bloom Is gone from the peach
and she cannot give him what he Of
fers her. You girls know very quick.
ly when . man means more than the
ordinary friendship for you. You have
an instinct that tells you that this big.
good-looking fellow has come sweet
hearting, and that that Is the time for
you to study him q little bit. Think
out II his temper and yours are GER
tain to agree well together; think ont
II his tastes and yours are alike. or IL
they can grow to be so. for you know,
little woman, II you want 10 be happy
in your married life, you must learn
the great and wonderful virtue Of
adaptabiiity. You must choose your
sweetheart as you do a new gown, so
that he will wear well; but you want
him for longer than winter; he must
last through the long summer days
and through the winter ones. and be-
fore you put your hand in his and tell
him that you are willing to fight out
the battle Of life together. think ii all
over well and remember that you are
choosing your sweetheart not for day
or year. but for all through life and,
please God. If you love each other
enough. after death.

Keeping tho Cellar Cool.

Cellars In summer should BE- ventl.
lated chiefly at night while the air is
cool outside. Keep out the sunlight
as much as possible. The cellar IL
not o li4ing-room. and for most uses
it is better TO be kept as cool as posi-
BILE, especially In hot summer. when
the ice crop Is so generally deficient as
1t Is the present season. The we'll
ought to be open 80 that packages OF
butter can be let down into It's cool
depths, as housewives used TO keep 1t
bard before any farmer had learned TO
regard good ice supply as neces-
sity for good dairying.
