a New Marsh shooting Law.

Arrangements are being made by local
sportsmen TO take concerted action during
the coming session of Congress to secure
an amendment TO the present law govern
ing the shooting of ortolan. reed birds and
other marsh birds in the District so as 10
permit their killing only on alternate days.
Ihis excellent idea was suggested by Mr.
William Wagner, the veteran expert sports
man, In an interview published in The
Evening Star on the eve of the opening of
the marsh shooting season this year. and
met al once the universal approval or
every shooter in the District except the not
hunters, who not only favor shooting every
Gay In season, but every day out OF il as
well.
Mr.. Wagner. it will be remembered
pointed out how valuable such law had
proved on the Susquehanna, where duck
shooting is permitted only on alternate
days. and the focks were given a chance
thereby TO rest The same law regarding
reed birds and ortolan. and particularly
reed birds, would be equally advantageous
here. Under present custom the fiocks OF
reed birds i'm September are not given time
to alight i'm this vicinity, but are kept go
ing further south. where they can find OPP
porturity for rest and food. The various
gun clubs and the District of Columbia
Fish and Game Protective Association will
take formal action shortly in behalf OF the
proposed law.

A Blockade Venture.

During The blockade of Buenos Ayres
clipper bark laden with -four was fit
ted out at Boston with the express pur-
pose of running in. The late Augustus
Hrmenway was her supercargo. After a
tedious voyage she arrived off Buenos
Ayres, and found the block ade too close
to run in. and was compelled to cruise off
and on, waiting for a chance in her favor.
While thus lazily recommending, she spoke
vessel from Valparaiso, which reported
famine there. Mr.. Hemenway at once
decided to try Valparaiso. The captain
hesitated; he said lis vessel was not
adapted To double Cape Horn in the dead
of winter; bnt young Hemenway assumed
the entire responsibility, and the captain
Yielded. She had a favorable slant round
the Horn. and reached Valparaiso in safe
ty, where her cargo was sold at high
prices The Chilians were so grateful for
the timely relief that they loaded the
bark as deep as she could safely swim
with copper ore, and all concerned in the
venture made fortune. Later, Mr.
Hemenway opened trade with Valpa-
raise in copper, wool, nitrate, ETC., by
which he became one of the richest men
in Boston. Harpers' r ,und Table.

Infancy and Childhood.

The habit of drinking daily quantity
of water is one that is valuable in many
ways. Its Importance is seldom sufficient
ly emphasized. 1t is not enough that the
child should take an occasional glass of
water, or that the babe should be given
spoonful as rarity. But the habit of
water drinking is essential to the we'll be-
ing of every child Most children will oc-
caslonally ask for water at meals, or will
take swallow of ice water when they see
others drinking, or will enjoy water with
lemon or fruit, OF jelly or sugar, or flavor
ed with tea or coffee; but water pure and
simple 1T seldom occurs to a child to de-
m3nd, or to mother to OFFER although of
all foods this one is the most important,
and no other contributes SO directly to the
health and growth of the child. The tint
est baby should be given teaspoonful of
water many times during the day; and if
at night it takes water from a nursing bot
tie, it will require during several hours no
other nourishment. child two years old
may with advantage drink at least a pint
of water every twenty four hours, and a
child from three to four years old will not
lnfrequently consume quart of water in
the same time.
All water fed to child should have
oeen Dolleu, ana must be kept IN bottle
or carafe that can be closely stoppered. 1t
should neither be warmed nor cooled, but
should be given to the child at ordinary
temperature as it stands in the living
room. 1t should always stand within sight
of the infant and within reach of an older
child. Where it is necessary to go down
stairs or into another part of the house in
order to obtain drink for the child, it
usually has no drink at all except at such
times as its thirst becomes intense. 1t is
not necessary or advisable to give water to
child during meals, but at other times it
may safely be allowed to drink as often
and as much as it will. 1t may even be
encouraged to increase the amount, if the
water that is used has first been boiled
and is of the proper temperature. We
cannot of course force a child to drink,
nor is it pleasant to over-urge such ne
cessary operation. But by having water
always at hand We may make drinking
easy, and by providing pretty cup, or
making some merry play, we can go
farther and make the drinking of plain
water really attractive until the habit is
firmly fixed, when it will regulate itself.

and most successful of the many such
events held in that town in years past.
The concert was by the Winterport cornet
band. Severance's orchestra furnished
music for the ball. There were 40 couples
in costume and, after the unmasking, 81
couples. Two hundred spectator tick
cts and 100 supper tickets We're sold The

place them and leave sufficient to make
improvements that are much needed there

TEA. COFFEE AND NERVES.

Everybody in England drinks tea; morning,
noon and night, and nervous diseases are conse-
quently on the increase there. In this country we
drink more coffee than the English do with plenty
of tea besides; and nervous diseases are on the
increase here too. Both these universal bever-
ages are bad. They break down the health Of
hahituating people to the effects of the poisonous
principles they contain. The recent introdu ton
of Grain-O, the new food-drnk designed to take
the place of coffee (and why not tea?) is the be-
ginning of needed reform. Grain q is made
tr' IN pure grains, is harmless, nutritious palat-
able, good for your y and old, and ciifaD: one
fourth the cost OF coffee. Try it fairly and YOU

Senator from South Dakota by the solid
Republican vote and the few Populists who
stayed by him. Most of the populists desert

he made any deal with the Republicans.
He declared that he is Il Populst still, has

they thought Senator Pattigrew was
