Starving Our Children.

When We see our house plants looking
stunted. putting forth few leaves and no
flowers, We stir the soil in the pots and
enrich the earth, writes Elizabeth ROBIN
son Scovil in helpful article on The
Chidren's Luncheon" in the January
Ladies Home Journal When we noe a
child looking pale and thin We say, if we
know something of physiological chem
istry: TOO little nitrogenous food" If
We are simple folk. averss to long words,
we remark: That child seems half
starved" 1t is the truth, however we ex-
press it, and 8 wrong is being done to the
child that tho fact is not recognized and
remedisd by whoever has the daily over
sight of lis meals. The unconscious vic
tim may seem to eat sufficient amount
of food, while it does not get enough of
the proper kind to furnish the nourish-
ment the body requires.

The Grave of ~cnmilIe.o

Over two score years have passed since
the woman who was the original of Ca
mile" died, writes Lucy Hamilton Hoop
er in a very interesting article on How
Dumas Wrote Camille in the January
Ladies Home Journal She sleeps in the
cemetery of Pere la Chaise. As is we'll
known, IL is the custom in France for all
persons who have lost relative or friend
to 90 on the anniversary called "tbe Day
of the Dead" to decorate the graves OF the
departed with flowers. Every year, on
that day, an unknown hand deposits on
the tomb of Marie Duplessis a superb
wreath of white csmellias. IL lie generally
conjectured that the author OF this touch
ing act of homage is Alexandra Dumas.

Couldn't Afford to See tho serpent.

There was a captain of Cunarder once
who was called on 10 the bridge by his
first officer to see supposed sea serpent.
Sir" said he. II once knew a man who
saw one. and put his name to q document
to that effect. He was a captain, too. and
when he came into harbor his employers
dismissed him because they said they
couldn't have skipper who got so drunk
as that. He was the sport of the press for
month, and his friends all put him down
for as big liar as Capt. brakes great
grandfather. I'm going below. can't
afford TO see sea serpents."

Maintaining tho Courts Dignity.


Judge Ryan OF the Sixth Iowa district
has made departure which is attracting
attention. He has prohibited smoking in
his court and ordered that lawyers keep
their feet off the table while examining
witnesses. In most court rooms smoking
is prohibited during the sessions of court.
But when it comes to compelling a law
yer to keep his feet on the floor and his
hands out OF his pockets. that is quite an-
other thing / t savors strongly of the
blue laws. Judge Ryan has started rev.
olution He is in danger OF being wsylaid
by the lawyers Of his court and called a
car or something worse.

A LITTLE CONCEITED.

The Editor of local contempo-
rary, said in his news last week
that the BEE manifested a spirit OF
jealousIy. If the Editor is OF the
opinion that the ZEE proposes to
allow men to practice fraud upon
the people by publishing to the
world that they have bought an
entire outfit of type, presses and
other material and issue $25 600
dollars worth of fraudulent stock
al $40 dollars per share he is mis-
taken in the paper.
The BEE Is here to expose fraud
and not allow the people to be de-
frauded by a lot OF sharks.
The BEE can point out one
stock holder in the alleged con-
cerned who has already robbed
a Door widow woman on fourth
street between Z and n. Y. Ave
n. W. out of several hundred dol
lars.
If that is jealousy then the BEE
must admit that there is greer
eyed monster in its way.

VIII PowderIy Resign.

A dispatch from Pittsburg states that
Terence V. Powderly, General Master
Workman of the knights of Labor, is
soon to resign. and that his resignati ton
will be accepted. For some time past
the order has been in a bad way finan-
cially, and if it had not been for s:
balance in the treasury from previous
years the per capita tax on the presen;
membership would not have met the
running expenses. The nominal salary
of the General Master Workman Is
$4,000 year, but for some years past
Mr.. PowderIy would accept only $500
a year. He has been studying law for
some time, and is in Il position when he
resigns to begin practice in the courts
of Pennsylvania. Mr. Powderly's sue
cessor, it is said, will be T. B. Mcclure,
a member Of the General Executive
Board.
