Children should Oe taught TO be regular
at their meals and 10 take nothing between
meals. This rule applies TO infants as
well as to o der children. The practice of
feeding the little one every time il cries is
a most serious injury to it, weak digestive
organs. Al infants stomach. though it
needs food at more frequent intervals-two

the same regularity which is essential to

til this degree of maturity at least has been

Minister Egan Causes Comment by Not
Being Present.
VALPARAISO Dec. 2S.-At the inaugI.
ration ceremonies of Chili's new president,
Admiral Jorge Montt, at Santiago Satur-
day, all the foreign ministers were pres.
ent with the exception of the United States
representative Patrick Egan. His alb
sence caused much comment in diplomatic
circles. The Inauguration took place in
the presence of a vast and enthusiastic as.
semblage.
Balmacedists Kept Quiet.
Everything passed off quietly, despit.
the ugly rumors prevalent for some days
past that the occasion would be seized
upon by the Balmacedists as favorable
opportunity for outbreak and an attempt
to assassinate the new chief magistrate.
President Montt took the oath of office in
the hall of congress, and then proceeded to
the cathedral where he received the bless
ing of the church and a TIE Deum was
sung by the great crowd in attendance.
Attempt to Wreck Train.
The express train between Valparaiso
and Santiago was wrecked Friday night.
Aboard the train were number of dis
tinguished adherents To the new govern.
ment, who were on their way to Santiago
TO attend the Inauguration ceremonies
there Saturday. Fortunately none was
injured. Some miscreant or miScreants
had removed two of the rails. 1t is the
general belief that the dastartlly work was
committed by men who were in the pay of
the political enemies of President Jorge
MOntt and his associates.

unnecessary to comment on the wis.
dom OF statute restricting the en-
forcement by penal servitude of CON
tract for labor, to those which are
made IN writing with another, or
with firm; or on considerations
which might arise on a law which

The liberty of choosing ones own
employer, is undoubtedly within the
inalienable rights guaranteed to ''all
men" by Article 1st of the Constitu-
ton. How then can one alien
dispose Of such libertyi A contract
waving this right is inconsistent
with this great provision of the Con-
shtution and is therefore illegal and
void. This is what the contract be-
fore us distinctly does.
l am also of the opinion that the
instrument requires to be stamped.
This requirement is clearly set forth
IN the statutes, and no exception is
made. Chapter So of the Laws of
1876 requires this and provides that
mo instrument requiring to be
stamped shall = be of any
validity in any Court of this King
dom unless the same shall be prop
erly stamped" (Section 81 and
Chapter so of the Laws of 1856 pro-
vides that any agent to take acknow-
Judgements OF contracts, "who shall
certify to the acknowledgment of
any contract not fully stamped shall
be liable to fine" of fifty dollars.
The argument Of plaintiffs coun-
sci that the Government being the
employer would have to pay for the
stamps, and therefore the Stamp
Act does not apply to this contract,
is not convincing to my mind. In
fact, the Government is not the en-
ployer nor does the contract pretend
that such is the case. The Govern
ment has no work for these men, no
plantations upon which to employ |
them; it is merely the channel |
through which the lahorer reaches an |
employer. The contract is inchoate
by its terms until it has been supple
mented by the endorsement which |
provides an employer, and he by |
law is liable to the stamp duty.
