THE BIG HAT MUST 60.

Paris has declared war on the big hat
at public performances. French papers
are ridiculing 1t with merciless satire,
and prominent critics have gone so far
as to refuse to attend performances where
the big hat is allowed. 1t is thought
that the beginning of the end is come,
and that soon amusement goers all ever
the world will be delivered from the
tyranny of the constructive mountain of
millinery, for, of course, Paris sets the
fashion for the rest of the world.-New

nourishing food

The painful question that will soon be
wringing parents hearts-"Will baby get
through the summcr?"-must be squarely
faced.
The fearful number of infant deaths
every summer from cholera infantum is
due to the ignorance of well-mcaning
mothers.
Improper food is now known to be the
cause Of nine-tenths of all the fr!ghuul
infant mortality of August.
Mothers milk. when healthy and sufii-
Client, is the ideal infant food; but when in
the first year of bahy's life recourse must
be had to another food. or when that time
comes for weaving the child, lactated
food by all manner of means should
promptly be given in preference to any
thing else. 1t has saved the lives OF
thousands of babies.
Mothers and nurses who have used lac
tatcd food all agree that it best supplies
the materials for babys rapid growth and
development. Lactated food is prepared
with a regard to purity, cleanliness, and
freedom from possibility Of contagion that
merits all the praise that has been SC
lavishly bestowed upon it by physicians.
The nutritious parts of barley, wheat
and oats are so prepared az to be easily
assmilatcd: to these are added sugar OF
milk and the salts which are the basis OF
mothers milk These constituents are
thoroughly cooked at high steam heat
and make a prediEested, palatahlc, nu'

mothers milk fit for meeting every de
mand of the rapidly growing child.
Lactated food has tided thousands OF
babies through the sckly hot days. il

A PRETTY SCENE.
How Ex-senator George f. Edmurds Made
Two Orphans Happy.

a Newport letter to the New York Her
aid says: The most interesting event of the
afternoon was charming picture framed
by the old elms in the lawn of the Ocean
House. 1t was brought about 10y a
chidren's fcte, given by Mr.. Leland to the
orphans of the Newport Home. a plat
form had been built at one side of the
lawn, on which some 20 little girls, all
dressed in white, from the hotel ana cot
tagos, went through a series of eVolu-
tons and dances, waving flags and
streamers.

trees. The children all marched around
and pulled out packages. While they
were doing this across the lawn Stalked
tall man in pepper and salt suit. 1t was
former United States Senator George +.
Edmunds.
1t so happened that some of the chill
dren had grabbed more than one package,
so when the last two came there were no
packages left Mrs. Holmes, who is presi-
dent of the home, and Mrs. Mcrwig were
at their wits ends. They couldn't make
toys. But Mr.. Edmunds could. lie found
two silver half dollars in his pockets and
hastily wrapped them in old envelopes
and dropped them in the bag. The chill
dren grabbed them and went off happy
Nobody of all that witnessed this recog-
nized the former senator except Mr.. Lee

edginG away when Mr.. Leland caught
him. The orchestra played Hail to the
Chief" as the former senator was pushed
forward and forced to make a neat little
speech to the children.

Aggregate OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. 4JJ
DR.. Buckham's % years of service as
president have been marked by steady and
permanent gains not only in adding to the
funds, buildings and number of students,
but in broadening the scope and useful
ness of the institution. DR.. Buckham has
gained an cnviable reputation throughout
New England as a scholarly thinker and
speaker. His views on education are broad
and liberal and without surTendering the
idea of general culture and discipline he
studies to meet the demands of the pres
ent age for practical education.
1t will he noticed by the above compari-
son of catalogues that the increase within
the past - years has been nearly four
fold. There are few institutions except
those started within this time that can
show so large per cent. of increase and
should it but continue in the same ratio,
the end of another quarter century will
find 1900 students here. The present indi-
cations are that it will, for the increase in
buildings and facilities have in recent
years outstrippcd the growth in numbers.
In proof Of this let one but compare the
four lone University buildings upon the
campus in lSS3-the year that Mr. Howard
started the building impetus by rebuild
ing the "old mill"-with the II structures
now comprising the University group,
some OF which are tho pride of the city,
yes, of the State. 1t may even be ques-
ton whether there can be found buildings
on any other college campus in America
excellng in architectural beauty the Bill
ings library, the Williams Science build
ing or the Converse dormitory. over a
quarter of "A million dollars is going into
buildings and apparatus this year, and
the young women will be happily sur
prised when they return to find that sincd
commencement the old Gov. Van Ness cs-
tate has through the muuihceuce OF Mr.
/ Edward Wells beer converted into a
home for them. This will give an impetus
to co-education which it has long de-
served. In fact. if rumor has it right
and the Correspondence with the faculty
secretary is any index, there is to be the
largest freshman class this year within
the history of the University.
