BABY WEIGHS BUT ONE POUND
Annette Passecke1 Is the Smallest In.
FAINT Ever Born in New
York City.

When the Passeckels received an eX-
pected addition to family at the
home, a15 East seventy-fourth street,
New York city, recently doll" baby
came to them. Little Annette is the
smallest child ever born in Gotham.
When eight days old, though born of
parents who together weigh nearly 400
pounds, Annette tipped the scales at
just one pound, one and one-half
ounces.
The neighbors daily flock to see the
little one. Notwithstanding her di-
minutive size she is perfectly formed.
and with proper care and nourishment
there is no doubt she will flourish and
grow up to be good-sized woman.
This at least is the opinion of the doc
tors of the Northeastern dispensary, in
East Forty-ninth street, who were
called in to attend the mother since
the birth of the 'tiny DOLL for that is
what her little brothers call Annette.
The couple have three other children,
Of whom the smallest, girl, weighed
IA pounds at her birth, and the heavi-
est, a son, 16 at his birth. The father
is six feet two inches in height and
his normal weight is 100 pounds. The
mother is above the average height and
boasts as much avoirdupois as her hus-
band. AS far back as they can remem-
Der their ancestors have been large.

UNITED sTL-Es ZAP
Charts Showing Proper DISPOSE
tiOn of Louisiana Cession.

Certain official maps of the govern
ment are, by the authority of the gov
ernment, declared to be incorrect, and
as now printed perpetuate mistake
which is being taught in many of the
schools of this country. The map in
question is declared faulty in that it
shows the Louisiana cession to extend
beyond the Rocky mountains and 10
include what are now known as Wash
ington, Oregon and parts of Montana,
idaho and Wyoming. The commits
sioner of the general land Office, Binger
Herman, after an exhaustive eXamina-
ton of authorities, has recommended
that the new maps make the Louisiana
cession end at the Rocky mountains,
and his suggestion has been adopted
by the secretary of the interior, Mr..
Bliss.
The commissioner has published an
official report upon the subject, con-
tanning maps and illustrations. The
country beyond the Rockies will on
the new maps be shown to have been
acquired by discovery in 1902, by ex-
Pioio III Iooo, ny tue AStOrla set
Element in 1911, and by the Florida
treaty in 1919. Authorities are cited
ts uphold this view, and the erroneous
statements are given upon which pop
ular misconception is based. The facts
of history as given by Jefferson, Mar
bois, Graenhow and others are quoted
in opposition to the present idea. A
review of annexations by the United
States is included in the report, and
the benefits arising from such acquisi-
lions are pointed out.
The report says:
"The grand total of the sums paid
for our foreign acquisitions amounts
to $50, 900, sum less than the value
Of one years output of Montana's min
erals, of Minnesotas annual wheat
yield, or of the cattle and hay product
of California for one year"

TOBACCO In CANADA.
Growing the "Weed" Is Becoming 9
Great Factor in That
Country,

The fact that Canada this year is
growing almost enough tobacco to
supply its own needs and that Canadian
manufacturers, Montrealers among the
number, are using the homegrown
product in large quantities, will come
as great surprise to many. In the
year 1898 there was grown in Canada
not more than 100000 pounds of to-
bacco, over 80 per cent. of which was
grown in Quebec province. In the fol-
lowing years the product was about the
same, Quebec growing less and Ontario
considerably more than formerly, says
the New York Post.
This year careful estimate leads to
the conclusion that, If no accident over
takes the crop, not less than 100000
pounds of the weed will be grown in
these two provinces, about four-fifths
of which will come from the two most
southerly counties of Ontario, Essex
and Kent. In Essex county alone fully
5000 acres are this year under tobacco
cultivation. This impetus in the
growth of tobacco has been caused by
the readjustment of the duties by the
Laurier government, the duties now
standing: Canadian, cents; Ameri-
can, IS cents. The total manufacture
of tobacco in Canada, exclusive of ci-
gars and cigarettes, consumes about
100000 pounds of raw leaf, and to
supply this demand about 100000
pounds of American tobacco has been
imported annually. If the estimate Of
100000 pounds for this years Can
adam crop proves correct it will be seen
that there will not be much required
from across the line.

THE ISLE OF HOME.

From shadow-land of memory
A golden dream comes unto me.
In fancy am back among
The happy hours when l was young.
In visions vet / see the day,
When l had been year away
My first year-and l sought once more.
Heart-sore and sick, my fathers door.
And, as climbed the winding road
Up the last hill, something glowed
Within my bosom like flame,
An ecstacy without a NAME
For there, across the evenings gloam,
saw the old barn darkly loom,
And past it, from window bright,
A sword of glory pierced the night
The light of home. AS from afar
The wise men saw the heavenly star,
So that sweet light, unto my eyes.
Seemed leading on to Paradise.
Again, in fancy, draw near;
Again l through the window peer;
Again l pass the open door:
Again 1 steal across the floor;
Again l clasp my mothers form;
Again feel her tear drops warm;
Again I grasp my fathers hand;
Again feel my heart expand
Into that Overwhelming sense
OF joy too deep for utterance.
But tits a romance often told,
A story that Is sweet and old,
A tale that's found the world 8 heart warm
Since Jesus gave 1t deathless form;
And many heart with joy has burned
Above some prodigal returned.
So sweet that scene was unto me,
1t sheds a balm through memory,
A sort of kindly influence brought
To touch and gladden. every thought.
That night I slept within-O joyl-
The room / slept in when boy.
A golden dream came unto me:
I thought the whole world was sea,
Whose breaking waves rose fierce and high
Beneath black, tempestuous sky.
And many life saw go out;
And many wreck was strewn about;
But, safe amid the rush and roar,
stood upon happy shore,
A land that shone meath Heavens smile
A sunny, green and peaceful isle,
On which the old house reared its form.
An ark of safety In the storm;
stood. amid the breakers foam.
Secure upon the Isle Of Home.

MEXICO AND THE PHILIPPINES
The Latter Territory WoS Long q

Former.

From the foundation of Manila in
1874 up to the year 1919 the colony Of
the Philippine islands was depend
encs Of Mexico, says the Contemporary
Review. During that long period there
was absolutely no direct intercourse
between the mother country and her
far eastern colony. Everybody and
everything destined for the Philip
pines passed through Mexico until the
American colony threw off the Span
i>h yoke. Thenceforth, for 81 years,
communication With Spain was via the
Cape OF Good Hope. The commercial
history OF the Philippines would be
too long to relate here in extenso; sut-
flee it to ny that IT. is series Of strug-
giles between the colonists, who sought
liberty to trade freely with Mexico and
China. and the Spanish king and his
councillors and the trading community
in Spain, who persistently determined
to curtail that freedom as much as
possible. The policy of the Spanish
merchant class was to hold Mexico as
their exclusive market. They opposed
Philippine traffic with China because
this necessitated silver dollars. which
they knew must come from Mexico
suryeptitiously, If the islanders were
not openly permitted to give goods in
exchange. The famous galleons. which
were so frequently interrupted and
seized by British privateers from the
days of our Queen Elizabeth onward.

ELECTRIC LOVE ALARM.
How Il Susl;ielUas EEGi5at, tnfuer

His Daughter.

The ingenious father of an estimaDle
Young lady in Sheffield recently rugged
up clever contrivance by which ne
discouraged certain young man who
had been accustomed to make love to
his daughter, says Pearson's Weekly.
The cid gentleman recently caught
the young man and the girl sitting
rather close together on the sofa He
read the girl lecture and made her
promise not to let the young man sit
beside her on the sofa again.
He was a bit suspicious, and decided
not to trust the girls promise, SO he
called in an electrician to carry out a
little scheme of his. A contact plate
was fitted just under the cushion OF
the sofa and another to the bottom Of
the frame in such way that when the
weight of two pe1sons bore down upon
the top plate it would touch the other
and close the circuit.
Wires were run from the plate to the
old mans bedroom,wher as soon as
the circuit was closed, a small bell
would ring. All this was done without
the knowledge of the girl.
The next night the young man called
again, and everything was as it should
be until the old folks retired, about
ten o'clock. About half an hour later
the bell upstairs rang furiously. The
old man sneaked downstairs and
caught the lovers smuggling very close
together on the sofa.
The young man escaped with his life,
fortunately, but the poor girl is locked
up on diet of bread and water.

The Oldest engine in the world is in

FUNERALS OF SENATORS.
They Range In Expense from S4.60 in
One Case 10 1921, 3%2.5S in
Another,

The first time any part OF deceased
senator's funeral expenses was paid
out of public funds was on the occasion
of the death of John Gaillard, of South
Carolina, who died February &c, 1926.
Two other senator's died that year
Nicholas Van Dyke, of Delaware, May
10, and Joseph McIlyaine, Of New Jer-
sey, August 10. The average public
expense incurred on account of these
three deaths was $292.47, says the
North American Review
Within the next 20 years-from 1896
to 1S47, inclusive-27 senator's died,
and the remains of II of them We're in
TERED at the governments expense.
The average expenditure in those cases
was $61S.SO. From 1s4S to 1867, inclu-
sive, % senator's died, and 10 Of them
were buried by the senate at an aver
age expenditure of $1,365.13. The rec
ord from 1869 to 1894 shows 80 deaths
in the senate, and all but five of these
were the occasion of more or less out
lay of public money, the aggregate
amounting to S6s,8lo.o6, an average OF
S2,754.
In all, up to 1894, there were "a in
terments from and by the senate. and
the last 10 cost more, by 81, 1882, than
all the other Al. The total amount of
public moneys expended on account
of senatorial funerals, up to 1894, is
s1o0,234.ls, ranging from $3.50 in one
case to $21.322.55 in another. The
average is $1.S56.37.

SOUTH SEA ISLAND CUSTOMS,
Some Peculiarities of Iove Making
and Marriage Among the Fill
Islanders md Others.

One would imagine that love making
in Fiji was very tame affair from the
fact that marriages are often arranged
while those most nearly concerned are
still in their infancy. However, court
ship there is quite rs interesting as
anywhere else, and it has some peculiar
features, says the Chicago Times-Her-
aid.
Cupid's happy hunting ground is gen.
orally garden Ora plantation, and on
a moonlight evening he is generally
pretty busy. At that time, high up ia
the branches of the bread fruit trees,
those who have eyes TO see may spy q
pair of human love birds perched on
the branches 40 feet or so from the
ground. Fijian etiquette seems to de-
nand that the fair one and her lover
should occupy different branches, and
should be separated by the trunk Of
the tree-this, at any rate, is the usual
custom.

In ways known to European mothers,
