Loss of Life Not Believed.

San FRANclsco. March 1.-General Man
ager Towne, of the Southern Pacific rail-
road, discredits the rumor that hundreds of
lives have been lost at Yuma and vicinity
by the floods. He says that he had been in
communication with Yuma up to 1880, San
Francisco time, tonight, and had received
no such reports, as he surely would had
there been any disaster. So far, he says. no
lives have been lost at Yuma, except one
Mexican, who was drowned last week.
In the upper Gila valley, however,
ranches have been flooded and some people
drowned. Mr.. Towne also stated that
twenty-five miles of track west of Yuma
was under water, but unless further flood
occurred the road would be open in ten
days.

ute. Now, something like this wouldn't
cost much, and you could put it around
your table after the cloth was on, and
then set it in place. AT the last mo-
ment, when everything is ready to sum-
mon the folks, take away your fence
and put it up for the next meal. l have
seen this tried.a it proved success"
did not give any more advice that
time, but fortnight later, when | again
visited my friend, [ was delighted to OBJ
serve that every one of my suggestions
had been carried into effect, and one or
more practical helps to baby tending
had been introduced by the mother. She
had been struck with the idea that per
haps one reason baby behaved SO badly
was that he was nervous and tired of
always being at home in one room. So
on sunny days. even though it was get
ting to be cool fall weather, he was we'll
wrapped up and placed in his little
chair by the back door. Here, provided
occasionally with a handful of corn to
throw to the hens. he would sit con-
tented for an hour. Even on rainy days
she dressed him in outer clothing,
and took him up into the gar
ret, where a fifteen-mlnutes' brisk
glow, and tired his little legs so that he
was glad to sit still a short time and
give the household rest. Then she
had tried having different set of play
things for each roOm-a box of shells in
the parlor, clothespins in the kitchen
and picture books in his cradle. In this
way the toys did not lie around until
they were all old stories, and there was
a novelty to be found in each room.
This plan was also success, as what
ever changes chiid's mind must be.
Of course baby did not become less
botherSome right off, but, with the aid
of these helps, his mother was enabled
to get through her work without pulling
him out of mischief every half
minute, and there was no more
washing or cooking done at mid
night. One more ''recipe" and l am
done. This same baby was very fond
of animals, and one DAY, when the calf
broke loose and wandered about the
yard until nightfall brought the men
folks home, he was happy as could be
watching the bossy. From this the
mother got the idea of tying the calf
near the back kitchen window on days
when she was unusually busy, and baby
would be amused from breakfast until
nap time watching the moo and call
ing at it. And l once knew a mother
who lived in the city, whose baby
would be quiet all the forenoon ii she
were put into her baby carriage and
wheeled closed to the front window,
where she could see the passers-by.
All babies are not alike, but some of
these plans may help some Overworked
mother.

Old Wood for VioIins.

Interview with a Violinmaker
When an old building that had
stood for more than 200 years
was torn down six or seven years ago |
got lot of pieces of spruce ioists out of
it to make violin tops. That's it,
now. Most people think violins
are made from some queer and
costly foreign wood. They are not.
The top is of spruce boards or timbers,
and the strap, the back and the scroll
from curly maple. The essential, how
ever. is that the wood shall have been
seasoned for generations. Cheap vio-
Inns are made from wood that has been
seasoned only four or five years. |
want wood 100 years old. The old
spruce is easier to get than the old
maple. For that we have to seek
in old farm houses where there
are venerable chests of drawers
and Old-fashloned bedsteads of maple,
with head-boards and foot-boards. We
buy these for what we can, but they
cost great deal, for people usually
value them highly as heirlooms. The
posts and frame of the beds we can
work into necks and scrolls, and the
head-bOards, etc, into straps and backs.
Here is an old piece of board, no more
than two feet long, as you see, that |
couldn't replace for a So bill.
