Why the Baby Cries.

A baby does most of his crying because
he is hungry. The cry Of thirst, while not
frequent, is invariably taken for grief,
anger or sleepiness, and the mother spends
hours patting and rocking the youngster
when a tablespoonful of cold water would
make him perfectly happy Aside from
the cry caused by hunger thirst and teeth
ing there are almost as many other cries
as there are infantile disorders
For instance, there is the exploratory
moan in pneumonia and the husky cry that
follows the coughing; there is the broken
cry in Group, bronchitis and pleurisy; the
continuous cry of earache; the shrill cry,
accompanied by drawing up of the legs,
in stomach ache; the screaming and wrig-
Cling of the hips in intestinal pain, irrita-
bility of the bladder; the whining cry of
meningitis, when the baby fancies bright
light, and there is the silent cry when the
muscles of the face contract, but some me-
chanical obstruction of the air passages
occurs and there is not enough strength to
produce sound. The above is DR.. Sumner
a. Mason's explanation, as reported IN the
New York World, of why a baby cries.

Indians Trying to stop a Train.

B. W. Vedder, a locomotive engineer,
says: When the Kansas Pacific was first
opened the Indians were very hostile.
and there was constant fear that they
would wreck the trains. That they did
not is due to their ignorance of the iron
horse and of the best methods of destroy
ing it. One of my fremen had an expe-
rience with the Cheyennes that he will
never forget. He was on the road near
Fort Wallace, when he saw that the In
dams had cut the telegraph wire, and
knew that he lght look out for squalls.
They were never satisfied with simply
cutting the wire, but chopped it into
inch pieces with their tomahawks to
effectually stop she mysterious messages
As the train same near large patch
of sunfiowers which grew on both sides
of the track over 100 Indians rose up,
stretched a strong rope across. the track.
braced themselves and prepared to re-
ceive the shock Of the locomotive. AS
was afterward learned, they had taken
rawhide strips. braided them together
and, with force Of fifty at each end of
the rope, thought that they would be
able TO stop the rain. The instant the
locomotive struck the rope the air was
full of Indians. They were thrown in
all directions. Some We're jerked clear
across the train and more than dozen
were killed or seriously injured This
was the last attempt made for years to
stop the trains.-St. Louis Globe-Demo-

A NEW ANTISEpTIC.
which French Physician Says is Cheap,
Powerful and Not Injurious to Linen.

which a French Physician Says is Cheap,
Powerful and Not Injurious to Linen.
DR.. Berlioz, Of Grenoble, announces in a
paper read before the French Academy of
Medicine a new antiseptic called microci-
dine, which is composed of IS per cent. of
naphtholate of sodium and 25 per cent. of
naphthol and phenyl compounds. Accord
ing to The Lancet, it is white powder solu-
BILE in three parts of water, and the solution,
which is cheap, is said to possess consider
able antiseptic powers, without being toxic
OF caustic or injurious to instruments or
linen.
The antiseptic properties of microcidihe,
while inferior to those OF corrosive sub
Innate or naphthol, surpass those OF car
bolic and boracie acids ten and twenty
times, respectively Microcidine is elimi-
mated by the kidneys, and is antipyretic.
NJ. Polaillon, who has experimental with
this new agent largely as a dressing TO
recent and other wounds, utilizing as a
dressing, after preliminary cleansing OF
the raw surface with 8 per cent. solution,
gauze soaked in the same and covered with
layer of oil silk and a thick pad of cotton
wool, reports excellent results.

Significant Facts

Bradstreet's semi-annual report of bus>
mess failures in the United States which
has just been issued, shows startling
increase of commercial disasters during
the first six months of 1891. Compared
with the results for the corresponding
period of last year, the number of fail
ures had risen from 466 TO $685. an
increase of 57l and the amount of liabil,
tiles has advanced from S62 SCI, 962 TO
$91, 270, $50. an increase OF S2S. 402, go.
These figures should command study.
While last years scanty crops uu-
doubtedly contributed 10 the commercial

Cost of Making Tin Plate.

The average gold price of tin plates in
England during the five years ending in
1873, was 5.S44 cents per pound. During
the five years ending in 1890, the price
was zoos cents per pound; showing that
the price of tin plate has fallen in twenty
years 45 per cent.
During all this period we have not
manufactured a box of tin plate What
then becomes of the high tariff argument
that foreign manufacturers keep up their
prices when there is no domestic compe-
tition?
During the past five years the average
price of common block sheet iron, No y
wire gauge (Which to he made into tin
plate wouldhave to be cold rolled, picked,
cut and coated with tim in Chicago was
3.05 cents per pound, or higher than tin
plates could be bought for i'll England.
Since this is the best that we can do in
the raw material of tin plate, what be-
comes of the argument of the sheet iron
manufacturers that with duty of 2-10
cents per pound we should be able to
make tin plate as cheaply as we can buy
it from England.
This gives the keynote of the McKin-
ley duty upon tin plate-namely. to give
the sheet iron and steel makers market
for their sheet iron and steel. They will
not make tin plate themselves, but in
tend that the tin plate makers shall pay
them their own prices for sheets. OF
all the sheet iron and steel makers in
this country not one is talked of as about
to engage IL tin plate manufacture.
