DON'T LET THEM Die.
July Heat Weakens Ba-
bies' Digestion.
No Strength to Resist Cholera
lnfantum.
Half the Funerals of July Are
of Little Ones.
Safety Lies In Lactated Food and
Cleanliness.
The Proper Food is Very Far From Expensive.

July is dealing even more cruelty with
the babies than a year ago.
The fatal cases of cholera infsntum last
week in this city were many, and there will
be many more.
Precious little lives sacrificed to ignor-
ance
Almost every one might have been saved
All these diarrheal diseases, whether
cholera infantum, diarrhea or summer COM
plant, are preventable. Physicians en-
phatically say so.
Hot weather alone will not produce these
disorders; 1t simply weakens the infant
digestion, and makes il easy for improper
feeding to bring on dreaded diarrhea.
What, then, is proper diet in July?
Healthy mothers milk has no rival; but
when the child is being weaned, or when its
natural food is thin and watery and unable
| to keep baby strong and well, lactated food
must be used at once, either TO supplement
mothers milk or as a complete diet.
| For years it has been noted that in count
less homes, and in the large children's insti-
tutions, wherever lactated food has been
regularly used, there have been few OF no
returns of death from cholera infantum in
July and August.
| The reason is that this highly nutritious, b,
predigested and especially palatabe food is
the very next thing in every respect 10 pure
mothers milk. II is easily assimilated by
the infant stomach, with but a trifing ex-
penditure of vitality. 1t keeps up the little
ones strength, and as it cannot possibly
contain particle of impurity, these two
great causes of cholera infantum are sue
cessfully avoided.
| And babies like it.
| Amy food, however nutritious, that baby
will not readily take, has small chances Of
doing good. And it is here that lsctated
food stands pre-eminent in the minds of
medical men. When teething, and during
hot weather, when babies are most capric-
ious in their appetite, it is found that they
take lsctated food with relish when nothing
else will tempt them.
| Members of boards of health and pbysi-
Clans, it will be found, feed their own chill
dren on lactated food. The fact known to
physicians from the start that lactated food
was prepared under the personal super
vision Of no less man than Prof. Boynton
of Vermont university gave it immediate
standing among practitioners.
When change of diet is needed because
baby is not taking sufficient nourishment,
lactated food is sure to delight mothers, by
the evident relish with which babies take 1t.

DAY.

Quakers. Purltans and rnrks.

The first Quakers who came to New
England We're two unprotected women,
one, Annette Austin, about go years OF
age, the mother of five children, and the
other Mary Fisher, her maiden friend,
over 80 They came from Barbados. I'm
mediately upon their arrival they were
taken from ship to jail, and Tor fear that
any one woald talk with them, and
thereby spread their heresies, the win
dow OF the cell was boarded up.
-Four years aiterward, Mary Fisher
went on mission to The Orient, to bring
her testimony to the Turks. The great
Sultan Mohammed ". was on the throne.
He accorded her an audience, and re-
ceived her with civility, and she was in
nowise restrained While in his dominions.
The circumstance Of Mary Fishers hay-
ing been prosecuted and imprisoned both
in Old and New England, and left free
and unmolested in the dominions of the
Sultan, has been variOusly explained so
as not to be too creditable to the ''Grand
Turk" The fact is, in Mohammedan
lands the humane principle of liberation
had been learned and practiced earlier
than in Christian countries, as is evil
denced by the Turkish concessions to
Christians and other sects, which date
back to the twelfth century. These were
continued and renewed IN the middle of
the sixteenth century, when Constanti-
nople was captured. Roger Williams,

Spiders, Threads.

Some interesting experiments were
made last summer on spiders threads.
4 thread having been obtained, one end
was carefully fixed with gum to a sup
port, and to the other end small weights
were gradually attached till it broke. In
order to compare, from these tests, tn G
strength of the thread with, say, steel
thread of the same thickness, it was nee
essary TO determine its diameter. This
was done by means of q powerful micro
scope, and it was found that it would re-
qure %, 900 threads to make a sheet one
inch broad.
When it is remembered that each of
these threads is composed of some 1900
strands, the tenuity is seen to be almost
incOnceivable, as it would require l00,-
000, 900 TO make one inch. AS result of
these tests it was found, incredible as it
may seem, that spiders thread is, thick
ness for thickness, actually stronger than
cast iron, nearly as strong as copper,
gold, platinum, silver, and about one
fifth as strong as steel. 1t may not be
generally known that spiders threads are
used to support small weights in several
delicate scientific instruments, and for
this purpose they are much more suitable
than any other material.-C Chambers

NEW YORK GALLANTRY.
Where Men Are Brought Up to be
Gentlemen.

A hand-organ was responsible the other
day for an accident. display OF GOODNESS
and courage, and exchange of courtesies,
and, what always delights Americans,
because it eXciteS them, thrilling scene.
4 horseback rider, coming down River
side Drive at a sharp trot, turned into
West seventy street. Down West
End avenue rolled Il handsome victoria,
in which were man and d woman. In
Seventy-second street, east OF West end
avenue, stood a son of Italy. grinding out
his tunes from q cabinet organ on wheels.
The victoria came around into Seventy
second street just in time to be slightly
in advance of the horseman. His steed
was a spirited one, and only the firm
hand on the reins kept 1t in check. The
rider had Just come abreast of the victoria
when his steed. alarmed by the organ,
gave q sudden plunge to the left, and
crashed into the victoria. To those who
saw the leap and heard the noise it seemed
as if the horse had gone clear through
the carriage and then they saw that the
steed was riderless and plunging, while
the woman in the carriage was screaming
loudly.
In the next instant there arose from be-
tween the victoria and the frenzjed steed
the horseman, clinging TO his horses
bride. He had been hurt when he was
thrown or knocked Oft. Only the condi-
ton of his clothes showed it, for he was
as calm and self-possessed as if in a draw
iug-room. With one hand he brought
his plunging animal to its feet. and with
the other he raised his hat as he peered
into the victoria and offered his apologies
and regrets for the accident. The woman
had ceased to scream, and the three char
acters of this little drama exchanged a
few polite words. Then again the two
mon lifted their hats in parting salute,
the coachman of the victoria drove on.

Toads, Fishes and Pebbles Found in

A gentleman connected with the Museo
NaclOnal (National AIuseum). at San
Jose, Costa Rlca, in a private letter, tells
a graphic story Of the wonderful hail
storm which recently visited the south
west coast OF that Central American Re
public. His letter, IN part, is as follows:
"Ihe cloud came almost directly from
the west, and was blacker than the pro-
verbal Egyptian Darkness We are
now well used TO tropical storms, with
their accompanlments of real thunder
and lightning, something grauder than
the folks in old Missouri have ever seen
or heard, but in this case it seemed a
thousand squalls, hurricanes and cyclones
combined in one. All OF a sud-
den there was terrible roaring aud
splaShing in the bay near the camp. |
have since thought that the only thing
that it could be compared with would be
a shower Of bricks and cobblestones
failing into the ocean. We had hardly
time to take shelter IN an immense hol-
low guave when that portion Of the cloud
which was dumping its immense load of
ice into the salty water veered to the
northeast and crossed To the treeless tract
of mountains lying over toward Hanfeta.
sit was not q haIlstOrm in the grand
true sense of the word-it was simply an
awful precipitation OF thousands of tons
OF ice from the clouds. Some of these
Jumps were not larger than ones fist,
but the majority OF them were larger
than full sized building bricks, and one
which buried itself in the sand near our
camp kettle on the beach was Jagged,
three-cornered mass of ice weighing
twenty-three pounds an hour and half
after the storm cloud had passed. AS one
of the boys afterward remarked, 1t
seemed as if the cloud had been frozen
solid 10 depth of about six or eight
inches and then suddenly knocked to
pieces and thrown to the earth But few
of the ice chunks bore the least resem-
blance to ordinary hailstones; all were of
jagged and irregular form, the majority
Of the pieces containing some foreign
substance, such as ball of earth, wads OF
rotten leaves, sand, fish, and frog spawn,
etc. The head OF q dead sunfish was
found in one piece, ana a half-dozen or a
dozen Of the Ice slabs gathered up and
put into our water jar yielded two live
and one dead frog, mass Of kelp, or sea-
weed. three small pebbles a seashell and
some queer black seeds about the size of
buckshot." ATLANTA Constitution.
