Rearing Babies,

Hot weather Is generally considered
the hardest upon the babies, and in cities
the mortality among the infants is often
terrible. A word should be said about
these little ones that more sense may be
shown in rearing them. The great idea
among mothers is to have fat, plump
almost round baby, and the acme of sue
cess is then reached The child is kept
fat as long us possible, but the mothers
little realize how much fat babies suffer
IN hot weather With the exception of
the other eXtreme-the very thin and
sickly bables-the mortality among ba-
bieS is greatest among the very fat.
Recently foreign physician pub
lished a paper in which mothers were

the:r rlr.a,,s O.. bringing up good, prof
itable cattle The first idea of the
breeder is not to produce fat, but to
make the young animals put on a large
frame and strong muscles. Food that
would make bone and muscle rapidly
WAS given for the first period, and only
sufficient fatteuing food Is given to keep
them i'll good health. An animal in this
condition can stand the hot weather with
considerable comfort. After a solid
frame and hard muscles are formed the
fattening process is very easy of accom-
plishment; but if all the food goes to fat,
the framework is dwarfed and made I'M

Don't Believe Your Eyes Always.

iSsIieNe lOuf Eyes Always.
1t is a feminine failing to wear too
small shoes. Therefore, when very
stunningly dressed girl whose garments
fitted her without wrinkle and whose
tiny red shoes seemed hardly large
enough for child walked along the
piazza on the evening of her first arrival
at Long island hotel. nearly every
woman that saw her remarked TO her
companion that the strangers shoes were
nearly killing her, and that she was laced
to death. The girl would have been
aware of the comment she excited even
if she had not overheard it, for past ex-
perience with her sex had taught her Its
genial ways. She walked with great
dignity, even with stiffness, up and down
the piazza with her father, and put her
foot down dalntlly enough to indicate
that perhaps her shoes were little snug.
Suddenly she decided to make an ex-
cursion down onto the lawn. Once
there she and her father began discus
sion of some sort which seemed highly
amusing to them both. Then they start
ed to run race. The father was a Won
derful man for his years and covered the
ground in fine style, 5at his daughter
glided away from him as though he We're
standing still Every one on the hotel
piazza was amazed at the manner in
which she sped over the grass, and when
she leaped into the air like hound and
cleared tennis net that INSTRUCTED her
path the women that had sneered at her
for torturing herself by tight shoes We're
compelled to change their condemnation
of her by calling her a bold hoyden.
A few minutes later she returned to
the hotel looking as cool and comfortable
as possible, and Immediately every man
in the house was asking who she was.
On the bathing beach next morning
when the old ladies saw her they learned
that she was perfectly formed girl and
that her feet were wonders Of diminUtiye
beauty. Ali Of which shows that 1t is
best to believe girl possessed of COM
mon sense until she proves beyond per-
adventure that she is fool. New York

ing man, and was well liked by all

Mrs. A. Weston. Of Mankato, went

ter residing there. and sends the fol-
lowing extract from local paper con-
tanning the particulars of the shoot
ing affray in which Charley Shaler
was wounded, notice of which was
given in these columns. The report
says:
Last Thursday, G. II. Shaler and ST
Nash. of Stowe Prairie township,
Todd county, had an alteration, near
Mr. NaSh's house, which resulted from
some previous trouble between them.
During the dispute Mr.. Shaler drew a
revolver from his pocket to defend
himself, and thereupOn nNaSh rushed
to the house and procured his revolv-
er, and started in pursuit Of Shaler.
They renewed their quarrel, Shaler
using cane he had in his hand, and
Nash shot at him, the balls striking
him in the throat, INJECTING painful
but not serious wound. Mr.. Shaler
went to his home unmolested. DIR.
Rounds was called to dress the wound
Nash was arrested Friday, and was
taken before Justice Cornell Tuesday.
Mr.. Shaler'S testimony only was re-
ceiyed and Nash waving examination.
