MOTHERS CONGRESS-.
WASHINGTON WILL WITNESS A NOV
ELTY IN THE CONVENTION LINE.

Mothers From All over the Country win
Meet to Discuss Nursery sciencc--How
the Project originated-some OF Those
Interested.
The mothers Of the nation are to gather
In Washington and talk on subjects more
or less connected with the nursery. Not all
the mothers, of course, will be there, but q
sufficient number of representative moth
ers TO make good showing. They will
be present as delegates to the first nation
al congress Of mothers, which Is to be held
in the banquet hall of the Arlington hotel.
The sessions are to last three days, begin
ming on Feb IL.
AS this Is the first time American moth
ers have ever held congress, It Is not pos
sible to predict how many Of them will be
there or just what they will do. 1t Is
known, however, that well known women
and few men will read papers and make
addresses. The topics will take wide
range, and the discussions will cover al
most every subject connected with child
hood and motherhood, from how to influ-
ence the development of character In chill
dren to the best method of furnishing bad
little boys who smoke cigarettes and make
faces at the minister.
The idea of holding the congress was
first presented by Mrs. Theodore w. Birney
at the mothers meeting at Chautauqua in
the summer of 1895. Tho project was en-
thusia stically received. All the women
present thought 1t would be fine thing
to have national association of mothers
and hold national congress- So Mrs
Birney was encouraged to go ahead and
work up the organization.
Mrs. Birney is wealthy woman VIII
lives in fine mansion in Chevy Chase,
one of the most fashionable suburbs of
Washington. She has been prominent in
other enterprises of q similar nature and
is not unknown among the ranks Of phi
lanthropists. No less than nine children
call her mother, and she is the ruler Of an
ideal home. She Is not one of those old
fashioned mothers who bury themselves
under their family cares and live in world
bounded by their front door steps. Mrs.
Birney is one of the new mothers who
rides bicycle and tries to find as much
pleasure in life as her sons and daughters
do.
The first woman to help the scheme
along in any material way was Miss EN-
ma Morton, the sister of the secretary of
agriculture. Technically Miss Morton Is
not a mother at all, but a spinster. She
has, however, acted as mother for many
years to the motherless children of her
brother, and she is deeply interested In all
things pertaining TO the rearing Of chill
dren. She introduced Mrs. Birncy to Mrs
Phoebe Hearst, who Is noted for her many
philanthropies, and who personally sup
ports 10 free kindergartens.
BY these three women the greater part

ganization of mothers has been done,

The police captain only did his duty

Pine AInkiIIC.

At the European Industrial exhibit
ions one of the small curiosities dis
played to visitors is a miniature manu-
factory of pipes. Those who have much
frequented such places will testify that
there has hardly ever been one in
which some sort of pipe has not been
made on the premises and offered to
the passer-by either as a present or at
low price. Probably very few per-
sons are, however, aware what the
dimensions of the pipe-making trade
at its principal headquarters. Ruhla,
in Thuringia, may perhaps, be taken
as the most important of all such fac
tories now existing, and it has the right
to be so, considering the enormous
number, size and variety of the pipes
used in the Fatherland, very large
proportion of which are sent out from
the works at Ruhla. The German pa
pers give some remarkable statistics
as to the industry carried on at this
place, showing that for some years
past the annual production of bowls
independently of stems or handles
amounts to $4,000 meerschaums and
nearly five and half million of imita-
tion meerschaums. The total of wooden
bowls manufactured is not far short
of 100000; and finally, the average
number of those strange china pipes
in which the German smoker delights
attain the prodigious figure of 12,3O0,-
600. OF these about nine and a half
millions are of common proclaim and
100000 of fine ware. 1t must not be
forgotten, however, that besides these
there are produced fifteen millions Of
pipes made of various materials not
enumerated above. The same manufac-
turers are engaged annually in turning
out fifteen millions of pipe stems of diff
ferent kinds, and one and half mill
lions Of cases for the finer sort of pipes
and 100000 dozens, that is to say, nine
and half millions, Stick" as the Ger
mans say, of cigar and clgarette-hold-
ers made of amber. horn, meerschaum,
cocoa-nut and other materials. Con-
sidering the most religious care with
which a German, whether sober or
otherwise, guards and tends his faith
full friend and comforter, this list
speaks rather eloqdcutly as to the pres
ent popularity of the practice intro

Mrs Birney acting as president, Mrs.
Hearst as first vice president and Miss
Morton as secretary Of the congress. In
response to their suggestion women's clubs
and associations in almost every part OF
the country have appointed mothers com
mittees, and these in turn have chosen
delegates to represent them at the coming
congress. Some of the best known women
In the land have been interested In the
project In Washington the wives of the
cabinet officers have joined the movement,
and Mrs. Cleveland has promised her
hearty support.
Mothers societies have been formed In
many places. One of the first was organ.
lied by Mrs. Birney among the wives of
the street car drivers of Washington.
The purpose of holding this national con-
gress is in general way, to set mothers
thinking upon the serious question of how
they may best contribute to the general
welfare of their families and more particu-
larly to that Of their young children; how
to make them, in a broad sense, better
mentally, physically and morally. This is
high and noble object, and 1t is an honor
to any woman merely to be a part Of such
O movement.

Two Doctors and Their Fees.

In England there is a Doctors
Union, and the question of fees is being
agitated to-day. How should one pay
his doctor? Is the fee to be put in the
doctors hand at once. or a bill tucked
under a medicine bottle on the mantel-
piece? The Saturday Review tells of
Velpeau and Sir Ashley Cooper:
Alfred Louis Velpeau, the greatest
French surgeon of his time, had So
we're lesson read to him by the mother
of a patient. young girl whose life
he had saved in critical case of Group.
The mother, brimming over with grati-
tude, went to see the famous surgeon,
an abrupt and somewhat disagreeabe
parsonage at the best of times, and
reputed to be afflicted with inordinate
greed. 81 have come to thank you for
what you have done for us, and to Of
fer you this as a token of our obliga-
tion," she said, placing a beautifully
embroidered purse on Velpeau's table
Velpeau scarcely took the trouble to
look at it. Il accept, Madame" he re-
marked in his ungracious way; "but, of
course, this is without prejudice to my
honorarium, which comes to 3,000f."
Thereupon, the lady took up her pres

notes of 1,000f. each in there This
makes us right, then, Monsieur" And,
pocketing two out of the five slips OF
blue paper, she bowed, 81 have the
honor to wish you good morning"
Sir Ashley Cooper was wiser in his
generalities. The largest fee he ever re.
ceived was rendered TO him in a some
what less delicate but more original
manner. He had been attending in his
capacity of surgeon a West Indian mil
lionaire named Hyatt, with Drs. Lett
som and Nelson as physicians. The
treatment was most successful, and in
his joy Hyatt bestowed 300 guineas on
each of the doctors. But you" eX-
claimed the grateful patient, address,
ing Sir Ashley, you shall have some
thing better" With this he flung his
nlghtcap at the eminent operator.

front" into his pocket. 1t contained

THEY RIDJCULE 1T.
Many People Ridicule the Idea of an
Absolute Cure for Dyspepsia
and Stomach Troubles.
Ridicule, However, is Not Argument,
and Facts are Stubborn Things.

Stomach troubles are so common and
In many cases so obstinate to cure that
people are apt to look with suspicion
on any remedy claiming to be a radical,
permanent cure for dyspepsia and indi-
gestion. Many such pride themselves on
their acuteness in never being hum.
bugged, especially on medicines.
This fear of being humbugged may be
carried too far; 10 far, in tact, that many
persons sutfer for years with weak diges-
ton rather than risk little time and
money in faithfully testing the claims of
preparation so reliable and universally
used as StuarCs Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important respect
from ordinary proprietary medicines for
the reason that they are not a secret
patent medicine, no secret is made of
their ingredients, but analysis shows
them to contain the natural digestive
ferments, pure aseptic pepsin, the diges.
tive acids, Golden Seal, bismuth, hy-
drastis al nux. They are not csthar
tic, neither do they act powerfully on
any organ, but they cure Indigestion ON
the common sense plan OF digesling the
food eaten thoroughly before it has time
TO ferment, sour and cause the mischief.
This is the only selret of their SUCCESS.
Cathartlc pills never have and never
can cure indigestion and stomach troubles
because they act entirely upon the
bowels, whereas the whole trouble is
really in the stomach.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, taken after
meals, digest the food. That is all there
is to IL. Food not digested or half
digested is poison, as 1t creates gas,
acldity,. headaches, palpitatlon of the
heart, loss OF flesh and appetite and
many other troubles which are often
called some other name.

Powdered Coal as Fuel.

The use of powdered coal as fuel Is
attracting considerable attention In
Europe at the present time, and num-
ber of experiments have been made or
are still being conducted to determine
the efficiency of this method of firing
boilers. In some tests made at Moablt
Hospital, in Berlin, recently, three in
ventors promising cesses-Messrs.
Wegener, Friedberg and Schwartz
kopf-were invited to take part. In
the Wegener plan the fuel is fed into
the fireboX by a small turbine driven
by the draft OF the chimney, SO that
the operation depends considerably on
the force of the wind and the temper
ature of the outside air. Friedberg's 8
system requires considerable mechan-
ical power, as the coal dust is fed by
air pressure under forced draft.
The action of this plant is said to be
hindered by moisture in the fuel. In the
Schwartzkopff plan a small rotary brush
of steel wire, needing only one horse
power to drive 1t. supplies the powder
ed fuel to the combustion chamber,
and it's action Is quite independent of
the condition of the fuel, Of the weather
and of the temperature. In the tests
mentioned the Schwartzkpoff appar-
atus proved the most satisfactory. 1t
is reported that at sugar refinery at
Algermissen there was saving Of
~ per cent. of fuel. as compared with
ordinary combustion on fire bars,
while at a cupola furnace In Vienna
the saving was 46 per cent. The sue
cess of various experiments made up
to the present. time has induced the
managers OF the Osterwald sugar re-
finery to undertake extensive tests and
to construct special machinery for
grinding coal into tne dust. 1t may
be remarked in passing that the propo-
sition to use dust coal is by no means
a new one, having been advanced some
80 years ago In this country and Eng
land.
