Going Visiting with the Baby

Unless the conditions at the place to
be visited are we'll understood, it is
often hazardous undertaking to go on
visit with child.
If one is not on sufficiently good
terms with the people who are visited,
so that the necessary hints and sugges-
tions as to the care and diet of baby
will be received, the proceeding is ex-
tremely dangerous.
Difficulties arise, not only from the
change in surroundings, etc, but in the
fact that in many households no suita-
BILE diet is placed on the table for a
child, and, in fact, none is to be had in
the house. If the child depends upon
milk, it Is often impossible to procure
that which Is fresh or good
An ordinary lunch Of cold meat,
bread and butter, pickles, preserves,
and DID, stale milk, is very far from
being adapted to the child Of one and
one-half or two years.
This is the kind Of food which a
mother recently found spread for her.

and as a natural result the baby had
collie.
At breakfast the following morning
there were pancakes, followed by sau-
sages, fried potatoes, hot rolls and cof-
fee; not much of this was suited to a
child of two years.
Simple things, like warm, fresh milk,
with good bread and little plain
sauce, should be provided for the small
people when they go on a visit.
Toasted bread and simple cereals,
with hot OF sterilized milk, will make
the child thrifty, happy and content

the visit pleasure to all concerned

while the order fell into some disre
pute. Toward the close Of that unfOr
tunate monarch's reign there were
about 2o,OOO civil members, besides all
those who had been decorated as sol
diers. TO restore the prestige Of the
order, an act was passed in 1872 pro-
v1ding that only one new chevalier
should be nominated for every two va
cancies caused by death. The effect
has been to reduce the number Of civil
knights to 10000, but recent ministries
have found the awarding Of the few
favors OF this sort at their disposition
created for them vastly more enemies
than friends. The Meline cabinet has
solved the difficulty, for itself, at least,
by introducing and securing the pass
age OF law repeating the act Of 1872,
and substituting for it one fixing the
number of civil knights permanently
at $4,000. There was long debate in
the Chamber of Deputies on this bill.

but the measure finally passed by q
vote Of S44 to 124.-New York Times.

Origin of the Horse.

DR.. Lydekker, the English naturalist,
saws that while the ordinary European
breeds of horses may have been derived
from those which were first subjugated
by the stone-implement makers Of
western Europe, unnumbered centur-
les ago, it is probable that thorough
bred" horses are of Eastern origin. He
thinks that Turkestan was their orig
inal home, and that the ancient Turco-
mans and Mongols were the first Ash
attic tribes to make the wild horse the
servant and friend Of man, Horses,
believed by some authorities to belong
to a truly wild race-that is to say,
whose ancestors were never domeSti-
cated-still inhabit the central Asian
steppes. From Turkestan, according
to DR.. Lydekker, they spread to Hin
dustan, Persia, Assyrla, Egypt and
Arabia. In the last-named country
they became so indispensable that many
have supposed Arabia to be the orig
inal home of the horse. The interest
ing fact is pointed out that our North
American Indians, to whom the horse
was unknown before the advent of
white men, have shown the same skill
and adaptabllity in mastering them
that the Arabs exhibited, so that, as
DIR. Lydekker remarks: Had we not
historic evidence to the contrary, there
Is no saying but that the original sub
jugation of the horse might not have
been attributed to the Indian Of the
prairies."

Experience of Young Walter Forward
Looking for Work.
When Walter Forward-then 16-
was working on his fathers clearing 10
Ohio, an odd volume Of Blackstone fell
in his way. He pored over it at night.
and resolved at whatever cost to be
come a lawyer. But how? He was in
the wilderness. He knew the name OF
but one lawyer in the world, a certain
Henry Baldwin, who lived in the vii
lage Of Pittsburg, 800 miles distant.
With 81 In his pocket and his volume
Of Blackstone In a bundle hung on 6
stick over his shoulder he started Oh
foot to find him. He had but one shirt
and only the clothes on his back On
his way he found an old horseshoe
which he put in the bundle for gooG
luck.
Before he reached Pittsburg his mon.
ey was gone. He could not pay fol

ferryman at last agreed to take the
horseshoe as fare. Forward, on reach
ing the village, walked up the street,
mounting a horse asked him what he
was looking for.

he answered.
Il am he. What can l do for you.
my lad?' Baldwin said kindly.
The boy told his story. Baldwin look
ed at him, and then handed him the
key Of his office and told him to take
possession of it until his return. He
remained with Mr.. Baldwin twelve
years
Baldwin in time became judge Of the
Supreme Court and Forward one Of the
foremost jurists in the country. He
was Secretary Of the Treasury under
Tyler, and later minister to Denmark.
Such stories as this illustrate the
hard daily struggles Of most Of the
men Of that time. They knew nothing
of the advantages which are now com
mon and free as air to every American
citizen. The son of the richest man
then could in no way gain the training
and the knowledge which are offered
now In this country without cost to the
poorest boy in the land. There were no
public libraries. Franklin and his fel-
low mechanics rejoiced when they
had bought and begged forty volumes.
Washington and his colleagues had no
advantages Of foreign travel. Almost
all that they saw Of the world was
gained in jogging along muddy roads
through uncleared forest, between the
little towns of New York and Phila-
delphia.
Yet there were giants in the land in
those days.-New York Press.

Tho Deepest of Wells.

Men of science are interested in all
very deep borings in the earth on ac-
count of the opportunity which they
offer for experiments on the internal
temperature Of the globe. Gas and oil
wells sometimes attain great depth,
and after they have ceased to be useful
In other ways are turned to scientific
account. The very deepest hole that
man has yet succeeded in making in
the earth is said to be near Rybnik In
Silesia, where the boring through
strata Of coal and rock has reached a
depth Of about 6,770 feet. The deepest
boring in this country is believed to be
an oil we'll at Pittsburg, which has
reached depth of $40 feet, but is to
be bored much deeper for the sake of
the information it may furnish to sci
ence.

A Chance to See Mercury.

It is only once in a while that this
planet Is easily visible, and perhaps the
readers Of the Companion will be glad
toknow that they will have an excellent
opportunity to see it on April u, and
for two or three days before and after
1t will not set until nearly two hours
after the sun goes down, and will be
fairly conspicuous in the western twi-
light as ruddy star Of the first magni-
tude, rather brighter than Aldebaran,
and a little south and east of the Plei-
ades. Not great deal is known about
Mercury except that it is the nearest to
the sun of all the planets, and the
smallest Of all except the asteroids, be-
ing only 5000 miles in diameter; that
it shows phases like the moon, and-a
comparatively recent discovery-that
it behaves like the moon in its diurnal
rotation, turning on it's axis only once
while it makes a complete revolution
in its orbit. Venus probably acts In
the same way.-Youth's Companion.

A STORY OF VOORHEES,.
The Tall Sycamore and His One Legged
Boy In Blue.

The Tall Sycamore and His One Legged
Boy In Blue.
During the war the late Senator Voor-
hees of Indiana was not'an ardent sup
porter of the Federal programme of hos
tilities, and this fact strongly initiated
against him when the war was over and
he was a candidate for reelection to
congress. The cry Of his political oppo-
nents was that he had not been right on
the war question, and combating this
allegation and placating the veteran
clement were two of his hardest tasks
on the stump. About this time occurred
an incident that he often related years
later with great deal Of enjoyment.
One day when he was speaking in his
own behalf he noticed that his most en-
thusiastic auditor was one legged man
clad i'll the familiar army blue. When
ever he made u telling point in his
speech this one legged individual cheer
ed, waved his hands and enthusiastic
ally pounded Oh the floor of the hall
with his crutch. Voorhees, was natural
" pleased, ard pausing in his speech
ltlh1tSu HIS AIANAlO thO OdbOAO
SCARED veteran to homer him by TAX
ing a seat on the stage.
The one legged man stumped forward
noisily and took a chair beside Voor-
hees, who continued his speech, win
ming, as before, the boisterous plaudits
of his new found admirer.
A few minutes later Voorhees, deftly
worked around to the main issue of the
campaign and paid his respects to the
people who were criticising his war rec
ord. He warmed to his work with his
celebrated elcquence, and whenever he
paused for breath the one legged man
fairly splintorcd the stage in his out
bursts Of crutch enthusiasm.

Longevity and Sleeping by Compass


A Magdeburg physician, according to
the Lyon Medical, who died recently at
lne age Of 100, attributed his remark
able longevity to his constant practice
of sleeping with his head to the north
and his feet to the south. He consider
ed this position most favorable to the
magnetic currents which run constant
ly toward the north pole, and increase
the energy of the vital principle. A
correspondent Of DR.. Felix Bremond
found that kind of nervous irrita-
ton to which he was subject ceased
when he placed the head Of his bed a
little east Of north. This position of
the head Of the bed brought him more
sound and peaceful slumber, and with
such regularity that when he wished
to rise earlier than usual in the morn
ing, all he had to do was to change the
direction of the head Of his bed, when
his sleep became lighter and Of shorter
duration. DR.. Bremond himself, how
ever, found that the direction Of his
body made no difference to the sound
ness Of his slumbers, provided he went
to sleep in comfortable bed, at the
usual hour and at the end of a day OF
active work. Boston Medical and
Surgical Journal.

HARMONY I'm STRIPES.
Two Great Musical Organs Eein
Built by a Man in Sing Sing.

Built by Man in Sing Sing.
In the State prison at Sing Sing a
convict is engaged in building two
large organs for the two chapels-one
Protestant, the other Catholic-which
will occupy the first floor of the new
administrative building. This man was
an organ builder by profession before
he entered the prison, understanding
every detail Of the instrument from It's
designing to making its most delicate
part. He learned the trade in Canada,
and has worked at every branch of the
business there, in England and in this
country. He seems to be an enthusiast
In his profession, is perfect encyclO-
pedia Of informatian concerning all
the great organs Of the world and is
particularly we'll acquainted, from
personal experience, with every joint
and pipe Of the great organ of st.
Paups Cathedral in London.
Warden Sage does not care to have
the names Of the inmates Of the insti-
tuition under his charge made public
In cases like this Of the organ builder.
The man is skillfully and industriously
performing a valuable piece Of work
for the State, and it Is proper to re-
spect his desire not to have his identity
and present unfortunate circumstances
advertised Sufficient to say that he is
working out in prison another Of those
wonderful specimens of ingenuity and
talent on the part of a prisoner of
which there are so many on record.
Upon being conducted by a prison
officer into the little workshop located
in the annex to the big administration
building, the visitor is met by the organ
builder, who, guessing that he has to
deal with a reporter, proceeds at once
to explain willingly and clearly the
meaning and use Of the various parts
Of the organs that occupy every availa-
BILE spot in the apartment.
1t is estimated that it would have
cost the State $3,100 to have had the
organ for the Catholic chapel built in
the ordinary way. The cost to the
State for raw material to build both in
struments will amount to about $3.50.
Inc saving on DOtn instruments VIII be
about $1,000, that being the difference
in cost of similar ones if built for its
use at an outside mandatory. The
organ for the Protestant chapel will be
completed in September next; that for
the Catholic chapel in July, 1898. There
is no fear that the builder will be una
BILE to complete both instruments, SO far
as his time is concerned, for, he says,
he could build an organ for each Of the
other two prisons Of the State before
him term Of Imprisonment expires, that
date being October, 1900
The work on these instruments is en-
tirely done by this one man; he has a
helper, another prisoner, who, he says,
Is handy fellow, but he is not an or
gan builder, consequently everything,
from the original designs down to the
smallest detail Of the thousand and one
articles that go to make an organ, all
are originated, developed and executed
by the brains and hands Of this man,
who certainly must have come within
the dark shadow Of prison life through
some strange chain Of adverse circum.
stances.-New York Tribune.

which are conspicuous by day, can
hardly be distinguished at night when
sleeping on goldenrods and other flow
ers that form their favorite resorts. At
such times their bright wing colors

The Sources of Platinum.

Most of the worlds supply Of plati-
mum comes from the southern part Of
the Ural Mountains in Russia. Accord
ing to the report of the Russian minis
try of finance, the increased demand
for the metal in 1895 raised the price
for the raw material to nearly $500 a
pound, and yet only 9,7O0 pounds OF 1t
were produced during the year. In fact,
the production fell off largely from that
of the preceding year. Platinum is also
found in California, in South America
and In Borneo. 1t was first heard OF In
Europe In 1875, when Ulloa, Spanish
explorer, carried home specimens from
Peru.
