MIX and Water for Children.

Neither tea, coffee, cocoa nor chocolate,
nor in fact any stimulant whatsoever,
should be given TO children. While the
brain is developing 1t is exceedingly sensi-
tive and easily deranged. Children are
also extremely liable to infammatory af-
fections, sudden in their attacks, rapid in
progress and often fatal in termination.
Any unusual influence upon circulation
may disarranse the delicate adjustment OF
vital processes, and disease quickly follows
In consequence. All have doubtless recog-
uized the extreme excitability of children
from the excess of vitality. II the nervous
system becomes deranged by any power
fully acting cause, the trouble does not
stop there, but so strong Is the sympathy
which exists between all the important or
gans Of a child, mere nervous excitement
may induce organic disorder and even dis

American Women's Jewels.

'Tis doubtful if the women Of any two
nations on the face of the earth own as
many Jewels as do the women of the
United States. A large dealer in dia-
monds in Maiden lane assures me that
the number Of precious stones worn this
day by our women, not to count cheap
stones, pierres dimitation. Rhinestones,
SO called, etc, are not worth less than
$500 coo. 600. This is due to the great
wealth distributed everywhere, and to the
love Of precious stones shown by Ameri-
can women. Almost every well dressed
woman you see in any part of the country
has imitation or real stones set in her fin
ger rings or earrings. Diamonds are the
most popular, because they show off bet
ter by their blazing.
Comparatively q few women own large
number of the stones representing this

diamonds, owned by the Astor women,
would far exceed s., 100000 and the late
Mrs. Aston wore on all public occasions

has bean well said, few crowned heads of
Europe or Indian princes could boast
These stones so flashed when the wearer
moved that 1t seemed as II her head was
encircled in hame.-New York Herald.

that she added another. She called for

In no she was one day dressed in ma

observed, in happy moment, that il

color OF heas became fashionable, and such
was the rage that the different shades be-
tween old and young fleas were separated,
md the whole gamut of neadom was run.
Finally the vendors Of silks presented a
new set of samples to the queen, of a gray
color, and the king this time remarked Of
one that it was tho color of the oneen's
hair. This color quickly superseded all
others, and in order to get the exact shade

In these days of high grade patent hours
some housekeepers regard 1t as very neces-
sary to have two grades for family use
one strong and rich in heterogeneous matter
for bread the other light and rich in
starch for pastry. The different brands
have nothing whatever to do with the
quality or grades of various fours. One
hundred grocers all purchasing -four from
the same mill, perhaps from the same bin,
may each have their individual brand put
upon the barrels This Is done perhaps to
save confusion, and the grocer feels conf
dent that he has always the same grade OF

For the sake of your children, don't

children reared in the presence and under
the influence of a scold. The effect of the
everlasting complaining and fault finding
OF such persons il TO make the young who
hear 1t unamiable, malicious and callous
hearted and they often learn to take pleas
ure III doing tho very thing for which they
receive tongue lashings. AS they are al.
ways getting the blame of wrong doing
whether they do it or not, they think they
might AS well do wrong as right. They
lose all ambition TO strive for the good
opinion of n fault finder, since they see
they always strive in vain.
Thus scold is not only nuisance, but
destroyer of the morals Of children.
Many mother who would not beat n
child feels free to scold on any and all oc-
casions; and between scoldng mother
and beating mother, the scolding mother
Is generally considered the model one.
This Is far from the case; a whipping
many times has good results. but a scold-
ing never.
"A much better way than either scolding
or beating is quiet, earnest talk with u
child. and such II talk usually carries more
weight and is RENE mbered longer than half
dozen whippings and seedlings, for n
child soon learns that scolding is fit of
passion, meaning much less than quiet
talking and soon blowing over. Children
often come to have certain don't care sat

ing mother has blown off her surplus feel

more or less, and many children are we'll

ever benefited by any scolding. Scolding
is not always ruinous, but it is always out

Kansas women are often able speakers.
They give lectures and talks all over the

HALF A MILLION STOLEN.
Affairs of the Buffalo National Savings Bank
in Very Rotten Condition.

BUFFALO, July 5.-Startling figures came
to light this morning concerning the Ma
tional Savings Bank defaication. The
widest guess has been outdone by cold
facts. Only about half of the pass books
have been examined, and the defalcation
figures mp to the surprising amount of S426,
$685. These are exact figures, SO far as the
investigation has gone. The revelation
was made this morning in the Supreme
Court. before Judge Hamilton Ward. when
Deputy Attorney general Hogan made ap-
pllcation for the appointment of a tempo
rary receiver for the bank
Afterwards Chlef Examiner Judson said:
II believe the total amount of the de falca-
tion will reach half q million. More dis
coveries will be made from this time on.
But half the pass books have been ex-
amined. and feel perfectly safe in saying
that believe the total defalcation will be
half million"

THE SCALE CONTROVERSY.
Manufacturers Say They Cannot Afford


Manufacturers Say They Cannot Afford to
Pay Last Years Wages.
PITTSBURG, July 5.-The big labor war
goes merrily on. The trend of events to-
day shows no inclination of cessation of
hostilities. Outside of the Homestead feat
ure of the immense conflict that is now
being waged between capital and labor,
the local interest is centered in the con-
ference between the manufacturers of the
PItrsburg district and the Amalgamated
Association. Considerable apprehension is
felt among those directly interested that it
will end in the same fruitless manner as
the previous meetings. This fear is based
on the tenacity of the two sides. notwith-
standing the intense general an xiety for
settlement. The members of the commit
tee appointed to represent the Amalga-
mated Association possess only limited
powers. They have received their final IN
structions, and will. therefore. insist upon
the adoption of the scale as originally pre-
sented by that organization. Yet il
the manufacturers show disposition TO
treat with their workmen their PROPOSE
tions will receive consideration before
there is q final refusal or acceptance. From
the stand taken by the manufacturers since
the last conference it Is believed they will
make little if any concessions. The posi-.
tion they took at previous meetings Will
be affirmed. In an interview with mum.
Der of man ufacturers, during the last few
days ali seemed united against the scale
of the Amalgamated Association. They
state it is impossible to sign the present
wage list, because they cannot afford it.
They would sooner allow their mills to re-
main idle and pay the taxes. The sigma
lures to the Amalgamated scale are coming
in, but very slowly, from over the country.
Two were received to-day. They came
from the West, and included the Detroit
Spring Company and the West Duluth
(Minn.) Manufacturing Company. 1t is
estimated that the shutdown in this city
alone will cause a loss In the earnings of
over S50O,O00 q week.

MOMENTS OF HORRIBLE SUSPENSE.
Experience of the Only Survivor of the Boston
Fourth of July EallOon Accident.

BOsTON, July 5.-Delos Goldsmith, the
only survivor of the three men who ascend
ed in balloon yesterday. told the story of
the trip as he lay on q cot ct the hospital
to-day. He said: when the balloon rose
in the air. we anticipated an enjoy able
trip. At first 1t seemed as if the balloon
would take westerly course, but a strong
wind from the west suddenly arose and
swept 1t toward South Boston. 1t was
soon evident that we were heading for the
harbor. 1t was then that Professor Rogers
said we would land on Thompson's island.
To fail in this We all knew meant to be
carried out to sea. The Professor seemed
to realize this and be became a trifle her.

but the cord refused to work. 1t was then
a question of life or death. Again and

mass shook and quivered. Soon 9ur posi-
tion became uncomfortable because of the
odor of the gas. To mitigate this. the
hold on the cord was relaxed. To our
amaZement the valve refused to close
Professor Rogers kept his hand on the rope
Suddenly NOISE overhead caused US to

balloon, which. as the gas escaped, in.

then like an arrow, the balloon descended.
In this awful descent 1T occurred to me that
two carrier pigeons were in the bottom of

cover from the cage. and they were free.
A moment later We struck the water. 1t
