Things looked very doubtful for 10
seph, though, until Tinsmith Robinson,
who had his shop on the ground floor of
the tenement, applied himself to the So
luton of the problem Of prolonging the
infants existence. This tinsmith was a
cunning artisan and had made incuba-
tors for the propagation of bacilli and
microbes for scientific purposes. These
incubators were metal chests only 2 feet
long by 10 inches deep and IS inches
wide, with water and air chambers SO
arranged that a moist heat of any desir-
ed temperature could be maintained, but
one of them was plenty large for Joseph,
who was then only Ia inches long and
weighed 2 pounds. and into it he was
placed.
He was sufficiently alive In a few hours
to demand nourishment, and Foster Fa-
ther Robinson administeredittohim with
a medicine dropper at the rate of about
two ta~blespoonfuls of milk an hour.
The plan was entirely successful. When
the babe was2 weeks old, he had gained
a pound and a quarter in weight and
over 2 Inches in length, and his foster
parent had to make him a new incuba-
tor because the first was no longer large
enough.
His new nursery is larger and more
comfortable than the first one, has better
ventilating apparatus, and one of the
sides is made of glass SO that Joseph can
be seen reposing in his little wire basket
lined with wool. There is an automatic
regulator that closes the ventilators If
the temperature falls below 9S degrees
and opens them If it rises above 100. Jo-
seph now takes his nourishment from a
regulation nursing bottle.
The idea of incubators for p~rematurely
born infants Is not an entirely new one.
Most well equipped maternity hospitals
have them, and many q precautions ex-
istence has been preserved by their use.
Joseph's great good luck lay in the fact
that one was found for him alta moments
notice and without any foresight or the
necessity for 1t. and that some d who
understood the scientific principles In
1olved was q hand to take him in charra

vention a. Dallas, where some 800 were
present, decided to have two organiza-
tons of men and women respectively.
The women went to work with a will
and not only gathered a very respecta-
bic lot Of Texan specimens of work and
curios, but&aised money in all the effect
i've ways known to women. At the end
of q year it was found that the men had
done practically nothing except to spend
all the money the ladies had turned over
to them, for the latter were under con-
troll of the former so far as finances
went. Then the ladies determined on
an independent organization and in spite
of persistent opposition got it incorpo-
rated July 90, 1892.
1t was late, but they accom- nlished
wonders. Mrs. w. H. Tobin of Austin
was unanimously elected president, and
several vice presidents and directors
were chosen. In every city and good
sized town some lady was chosen to
lead in the work. They gave elocution-
airy contests, readings, suppers, concerts
and balls and finally got up a voting
contest for the most popular young lady
in Texas, which brought a few hundred
dollars from the young men. Their zeal
attracted attention, and some large con-
tributions were made by men interested
in the state. George Gould and c. P.
Huntington gave 5000 each-more, i'll
fact, than all others contributed.
Thus the ladies not only raised the
money for the building, but enough to
secure statues Of the heroes of Texan
history, and these make quite an add.
ton to the display. Among the ladies
most prominent i'll this great work are
Mrs. E. NJ. House, Mrs. ]. B. Stuggs of
Dallas, Mrs. Val c. Giles, Mrs. j. NJ.
Burroughs, Mrs. Judge Henry, Mrs. c..
f. Drake and Mrs. Anna ID. Hearne.
The fact that Texas is represented at the
fair at all is due entirely to these ladies
and their associates.

Men who Paint Rocks.

This is the season when those artists
known to their fellow craftsmen as
crock danburs'' make tracks for the
mountains. Upward 1f 900 of them babe

days. They will not return until DC.

in mammoth letters on the faces of

other like nostrums.
They are employed by advertising
concerns in the metropolis and are hired
for from three to five months, accord
ing to the climatic conditions of the lati-
tudes they are sent to. Those sent south
sometimes remain on the road longer
than FIVE months. They travel in
couples. The route of each pair is laid
out before the start, and each couple
carries a copy with them. They are
paid from SIS to $25 Il week. In addi-
ton to their pay each man is allowed
$40 Il week for board.
Their employers pay their travelling
expenses-that is, railroad fares and
wagon hire. Each couple starts out
with $50 in cash with which to pay
wagon hire and pay board. To encour-
age them to drive close bargains for rigs
each firm of employers offers a prize of
from 800 to $3.50 to the brace of ''daub-
ers" whose bills for wagon hire foot up
the least at the end of the season. State
ments of expenditures, with vouchers,
must be sent to their bosses once a
week. Sometimes these nomadic sign
painters do not ride on a railroad for
weeks. Every year they have to seek
routes in wilder reyions.-New York

A Word About the Russell Shoes.


A fashion writer in a morning con-
temporary asks:
What is the attraction which brown
leather boots seem 20 possess for both
men and women, young and old? This
year they have made their appearance
not only considerably earlier than usual,
\ but also in larger numbers than ever be-
fore. Some declare that they are more
comfortable, but experience hardly bears
out that impression. A brown boot can
never be SO pliable and so easy as one of
black leather, moreover, the brown boot
is distinctly less becoming than the
black"
The writer Of this must have had a
singular experience with brown leather.
The russell shoes are worn by most peo-
pie because they are softer and more
pliable. and above all because the pores
of the leather are not tightly closed as
they are in patent leather, and in all
black leather that is subjected to polish
blacking. The difference III comfort in
hot weather between a ventilating russell
shoe and impervious patent leather is
quickly obvious when a change is made
from one tothe other. The summer dress
Of Americans has tended to comfort in
all respects during the last few years,
and no two innovations have added more
fort than the brown shoe and the un-
starched fine cotton shirts for gentlemen.

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-Under date of

Francis Henry Weeks. the New York
embezzler, Is living here. The r
respondent of The Times found him at
the Gran hotel. Weeks has made no
attempt to conceal his identity since
his arrival in this city. When asked If
he desired to make a statement con
corning the conditions of his affairs in
New York Weeks said: II have moth
ing whatever to say beyond that my

are entirely in the hands of my per-
sonal assignee in New York"
Weeks knows that he has been in
dicted in New York and is apprehen-
sive hat some means will be found to
extradite him from this country. He
has consulted the best legal talent in
the city. Assurances have been given
him that there is no possible way of
taking him out of Costa RIGA, except by
trickery, unless the United States gov
eminent should ask his surrender as a
matter of courtesy.
Weeks lives in good style at the
Gran hotel and seems TO have plenty
of money.

Inter Ocean: There are said to be

only to the centennial year. The two

writer ia the Forum for August, Prof.
John j. AcCook, Of Trinity College,
Hartford, gives a highly interesting and
specially timely account OF the results of
original Investigations Of the subject Of
tramps, covering Il long period of time.
His conclusions are drawn from over
two thousand cases. The generalizt-
tions are based on these cases, which
were presumably fairly representative Of
the whole class, Fifty-seyen per cent.
of American tramps belong to skilled la
borers, and only about l per cent. had no
regular calling. With very few excep-
tions all profess to be in search Of work,
and over 80 per cent. claimed to be in
good health. One In twenty Is under
20 years OF age, three out of five under
thirty five, seventy-five out of one humid
red under forty. In a word, nearly all of
them are healthy men in the prime of
life, and a majority of them have trades
OF some kind. 1t may be added right
here that a majority of them are native
Americans, and nearly all are single men.
Ninety-nine per cent claimed sort of re-
ligious membership, or affiliation, the
'free thinkers" and ''infidels' numbering
l per cent. Professor McCook estimated
the number of tramps in the country al
1855, which with all its seeming exact.
ness is q random guess. IL is not posi-
bile TO know with any degree OF accuracy
the number, especially "a 1t necessarily

cock, five years old and showed unmis-

the other four birds which were liberat-

rough weather they encountered caused
them to stop somewhere for rest. The
distance from Pierre is about 700 miles
