A maritime vclocipede is the lntcs
mechanical invention reported from
Chilli. A citizen Of that country, Don
Ansclmo Santa Maria, has constructed
a vclocipedc destined to run in water
in the same rs it would be used
on land. The new vclocipedc was on
exhibition at Valparaiso, and the first
experiment was made in the bay of
that seaport at the end of December, in
the presence of n large number Of pco-
pie. The machine was started from
the pier Prat, in .he direction of the
bikes, and it returned safely to the
pier. The stability was sufficient, but
it did not develop much speed, and
some improvements will have to be
made in that regard. The machine is
simple; it consists Of two tubes, with
compartments and c~ignr-shapcd bows.
tn" rider sits on n framework resting
on these tubes, with the wheel in the

instead of 1898, as is mendaciously
shown. But what of it?
The Democrats on Prof. Wilson's COM
mittee represent good deal more than
that They represent, Or ought to repre-.
sent, the 5, 553, 142 citizens Of the United
States who voted one year ago for.the
abolition of unconstitutional protection,
and the enactment of constitutional
tariff for revenue only; that is to say,
they represent a majority of the voters
of the United States, together with their
wives and families. The Democrats on
the Ways and Means committee repre-
sen all these millions of citizens, in the
sense that they have been charged by
the Democracy to redeem the pledge Of
last years platform by reporting to the
House a tariff bill framed in accordance
with the declarations of that platform.
Failing in that, they misrepresent the
millions ~sof Democrats who constitute
the majority of the voters, and represent
nothing but the rejected ideas and tariff
theories Of the Republican minority.
What does that signify? 1t signifies
cowardice without precedent, treachery
beyond parallel. falsehood beyond belief.

TALKS WITH MOTHERs.-No. 3.
HAppv RApvnoon

Every mother wants her baby to thrive.
because healthy child is q happy child.
The question of how the baby shall be fed
is demanding the attention, as never before,
not only of the mothers in the land, but of
the entire medical profession also, because
1t is now realized how much the health of q.
child can be Influenced by proper nutrition
during the years of babyhood. AS the re-
suit OF the improper feeding of the infant,
the vitality of the child is impaired, and he
grows up weak and puny. In these days
when artificial food is being so generally re-
sorted to for infants, the demand for sub
stitute for mothers milk has brought out
many foods for which great claims are
made. Gustav Mellin, an English chemist,
las the first to discover and combine the
requisite properties necessary for an arti-
fetal food, and with his discovery the
rational feeding of infants commenced.
Mellin's Food is the only perfect substitute
for mothers milk, and it has done more to
make babies strong and healthy than any,
thing else that has ever been invented.
Mellin's Food possesses all the requisite
heat and flesh producing and bone-forming
constituents necessary to give a child
health, vigor and vitality. Infants are ex-
ceedingly fond of it and thrive upon it when
nothing else can be retained upon the
stomach. If they have been weak fretful
and troublesome they become happy,
healthy and active; bright eyes, rosy
cheeks, firm muscles and strong consti-
tuition are the inevitable results of using
this excellent preparation. Mellin's Food,
being highly nutritious and easily digested,
is also perfectly adapted to the wants of in.

A Magnificent sunday school Library.


James C.Strout, loyal son of Maine,
. Bowdoin graduate Of 1887, veteran
of the war of the rebellion, and who for
many years has been one of the best
known men on the staff of Librarian
Spofford of the Congressional Library,
fad for building up a model Sunday
school library. He has had in all these
years to help him only about the ordi-
nary resources of church of about the
average city size. But his devotion to
the work, in season and out, his large
personal contributions and the brain
work he has put into the enterprise have
now for as resultant a.library of about
4, 500 volumes. 1t is not only the largest
library Of the kind in this, and probably
Superior to all others. The books are Of
the best kind and their selection really
shows genius and skill almost leyond
praise. In this library may be found the
products of the brightest minds-vol-
umes of poetry, essays on science and
natural arts, ages devoted to electricity
and description of the many ways in
paedias, stories by Americas best fiction
writers.
We said above that this library is Mr..
Strout's fad, but we must all admit that
it is mighty good fad. Who can esti-
mate the value of the influence of this
library on the youth of Washington in
the past twenty five years!
Under judicious restrictions persons
not members of the Assem- bly, Presby-
terrain church or it's Sababth school can
avail themselves of the treasured wealth
OF this library. -Christian Mirror.
