Modern Nursing.

Orthodox methods of baby nursing
are still followed in this and other
English-speaking countries, but in
France an innovation has for some
time been gaming ground, which is
anything but welcome to the profes-
sion, which it threatens to supersede.
An incubator is now regularly en-
ployed in the Paris maternity hospi-
tails for the rearing of babies. 1t con-
sists of a case of metal mounted on an
iron stand and is not unlike an old
fashioned bookcase in appearance.
The front is provided with q framed
glass door in two parts. Upon the
left hand side is another smaller slid
ing glass door. through which the
hospital attendant can. watch the child
and attend to it when the apparatus is
placed by the side of the bed. In the
centre Of the incubator, upon ham
mock of wire gauze, the child is
entirely isolated, SO that the warm air
can freely circulate around it. Heat
is generated by the circulation OF hot
water in coil which is placed in the
lower part of the apparatus, communi-
eating with q reservoir outside. This
thermo-syphon can be heated equally
well by gas, oil or electricity. Pure
air is admitted at the foot of the
incubator, whence after being filtered
it is sent upward by a fan-like disk
through q serpeltine arrangement OF
pipe, in which it is brought up to the
proper temperature. The success of
this system of rearing very young
children is said to be marvellous, as
owing to the absolute isolation all
danger of infection is obviated. 1t Is
said that as high as eighty per cent.
of the children admitted are saved.

Curious Specimens of Plant Life.

What is known as the rose of Jeri-
cho is possibly the most curious speci-
men of plant life. The rose of Jeri-
ohio is said to be brought from the
valley of the river of that name and to
be the resurrection plant mentioned in
the Bible. When received the plant
is simply bundle OF dried, withered
and worthless sticks tightly pressed
together. If placed in glass of water
the branches will expand, buds and
leaves start and the whole plant grows.
The Mexican resurrection plant is the
fluffy, fir-like variety often noticed in
florists windows and is favorite with
children. rs it quickly expands from
hard ball to a beautiful, metallic
green plant. The experiment. can be
repeated many times. There is only
one variety Of resurrection plants
which blossoms. All varieties may be
kept indefinitely and the strength
seemingly never exhauats itself.

WORDS OF WISD0M.

What pity it is that the quiet man
has SO few imitators.
A wise man keeps his own counsel,
while the lawyer sells his.
Do not anticipate trouble, or worry
about what may never happen.
Tho best cross for us, is the one that
will sooner kill our seliehness.
AS On omen of success, industry is
better than four -leafed clover.
More people fail from discourage
ment than from real misfortune.
People who blow their own horns
make poor music for other folks.
Refuse to allow some men to impose
on you, and they hate you forever.
1t isn't pride that makes man in
On attic look down on his neighbors.
Whoever does wrong thing to-day
will have to another one to- morrow.
The trolley is an able means of fur
nishing rapid transit to another world.
There can be no monopoly in these
commodities of wit, honor, and wis
dom.
If angels had to live with some men
there would probably be more fallen
ones.
The love that never speaks until it
does it on O gravestone keeps still too
long.
1t is only by perfect freedom Of de-
bate that we can hope to arrive at the
truth.
Every man knows good use, to
which some other man might put his
money.
The man who can learn from his
own mistakes can always be learning
something.
Fortune favors him who expects her
favor, but works as if he expected to
succeed without it.

The Children and the Circus Clown.

"Though parents at times try to
make it appear that their children
are younger than they are, said an
old circus man, "we seldom have any
trouble getting at the age of children
when we have chance to ask the chill
dren themselves. Our rule is to admit
children nine years and under at hall
price, and quito number of those
who have children in charge buy
half price or child's ticket for them,
and they are much disgruntled when
we refuse admission on the ground
that they are over nine years. In
nearly every case when the question is
put to the child direct it tells its exact
age, much to the discontinue OF those
who endeavor to make it appear other
wise. Circus people are much more
particular to please children than the
public are perhaps aware, for we know
that the success of the circus business
depends very largely upon their
patronage. We try to draw the chill
dren, and they draw the parents. In
this way we catch both. If it was not
for the children we could dispense
with the services of the clowns. The
modern clown, who seldom does
talking act any more, for he could not
be heard in the big tents of the pres
ent day, even if he did talk, does not
cost much. it is true, in comparison to
the talking clowns of old times, but
still it costs considerable to keep a lot
of clowns. Washington Star.

ssCOndemned Cannon. F"

"There are hundreds OF cannon
made by the Government each year
for the express purpose of being con-
demned," said an ordnance officer OF
the War Department. every session
Congress passes number OF resolu-
tions donating condemned cannon to
army posts, battlefields and soldier
monument associations. The supply
of condemned cannon from the war
ran out twenty years ago, but the
donations kept on and kept on. When
one locality, town or county got con-
demned cannon the others in the same
or adjoining State wanted the same
honor, and the Representatives and
Senators had to grant it. Then arose
the practice of making cannon, scratch
ing them up little and condemning
them expressly to fill the donations
ordered by Congress. During the
present Congress about one hundred
condemned cannon have been donated.
As there are just now only about SIXTY
on hand an extra lot will have soon 20
be made. Washington Star.

Royal Revenues.

The Royal Family of England costs
the British Government in round num-
bers 100000 annually. OF this sum
the Queen receives nearly 81, 900, 600
year, besides the revenues from the
Duchy Of Lancaster, which amount to
o quarter of million. The Lord
Lieutenant of Ireland receives $780,
900 year for his services and ex-
penses, and the Prince of Wales $780,
900 year. The President of France
receives $4,000 year for salary
and expenses, an enormous salary
when it is remembered that the Re-
public is sweating under n stupendous
National debt of over Sc, 900, 900, ,000--
the largest debt ever incurred by any
Nation in the world. Italy can have
10000 men slaughtered in Abyssinia
and still pay her King 80, 900, 900 year.
The civil list of the German Emperor
is about $4,000,000 year, besides
large revenues from vast estates be-
longing to the Royal Family. The
Gear of all the Russias owns in fee
simple 1000, 900 square miles of culti-
vated land, and enjoys an income of

ing disposition, will be one of the
richest sovereigns in Europe when he
comes of age. The State allows him
81, 400,0 900 year, with an additional
5000. 900 for family expenses. We are
said to be the richest Nation on earth,
