VARIOUS KINDS OF BABIES.


The chocolate mammas of Queensland
carry their little ones astride their
necks.
The negroes of Cuba hold their pick
aninnies on one hip, the child clinging
by its knees as a rider holds on to a
horse.
French babies are borne through the
streets stretched on fine embroidered
pillows, their lace frocks spread out to
make all the display possible.
The Dyaks of Borneo carry the baby
wrapped in the bark of a tree or in a
curiously carved chair studded with
ground shells which is fastened to the
mothers back.
The New Guinea baby has a novel
method of being carried about. Its
mother puts the naked little creature
into a net, which is suspended by a
band over her head and her ears, in
front of her.
Alaskan babies are rubbed with oil,
tightly rolled in a skin or blanket
padded with grass and bound with
deerskin thongs, which are undone but
once a day, when the grass is fresh
ened. If the baby cries he is held IN
der water till he is still.
The Chinese child lies with it's face
against it's mothers back, and this ac-
counts for the broad, fiat nostrils seen in
the s4~sowery kingdom. It cries con-
tinualIy in shrill, sharp shrieks, but the
mother placidly works on amid the up
roar.
The dimpled, brown little Jap baby
takes its first journeys abroad strapped
to the back of it's mother or sister in a
seemingly insecure position by strips
of cloth meeting in the form of the let
ter X. When awake it clings like kit
ten and is never dropped.
The children of the Aztecs travel
about in a sling on the mothers right
hip, the strong cloth passing over the
left shoulder. The Gualtimalticans
bear their children on their backs and
as if this were not load enough any
burden they have rests upon the head.
The Italian bambino is swathed like
Il mummy and bound with colored rib
bons. The babies elder brothers and
sisters delight in carrying about these
human dolls which cannot kick. The
German baby, too, is swaddled, bound
in a long down pillow tied with gen.
erous bows of white ribbons. He is
carried about in the nurses arms
wherever he moves
Some of the Australian women wear a
curious mantle of kangaroo skin on
their backs, which is tied securely at
the waist line, half of the length above
and half below Tn the little In
formed by the fullness Of the upper
part the baby cuddles and finds a COM
Portable nest. In other parts OF the
country the child rides astride the
mothers neck.

Road building to Be Taught I'm q
Rhode Island College.
A most excellent departure has been
made in Rhode Island, where a course
o. construction in practical road-buil,l-
ing has been instituted in the Agricul-
tural college, at Kingston, and the pa
pers announce, with justifable exulta-
ton, that this state leads the world"
il such an undertaking.
The course of ins ruction is to extend
over two years, and has been laid out
after consultation with Gen. Stone. In
the classroom, theoretical instruction
will be provided, and the road-making
plant of the college will furnish ample
opportunity for the requirement of
practical knowledge. Students, who
wish to enter the course, must be well
grounded in the common branches, in
Guiding algebra and geometry. During
the first year, the course will include
higher geometry, trigonometry, sur
veying and other English studies. In
the second year, physics, electricity,
physiogrophy, geology, mineralogy and
steam engineering will be taken. The
practical work will run side by side
with the theoretical during the course.
1t will include actual work on the
roads, handling the shovel, driving
horses, running the stone crusher, trac-
ton engine and road roller, and all
machinery operate / by the department.
The student will thus actually perform
all the varied operations connected
with bodybuilding, as we'll as receive
competent instruc lion in all that per-
tains to the art. In this way, not only
will a large number of young men re-
ceive most valuable training, but de-
mand will probably quickly arise for
special instruction for older men, who
now are superintendent of streets.
commissioners of highways and engi-
neers.
There is here a field which is not
yet crowded, or even full. AS the Prov
idence Journal remarks, ''of late years
there has been Il demand for compe
tent road-builders all through the
states that have been constructing
macadam highways. In most instances
either theoretical engineers or highway
superintendent have risen to fill the
places. And to the sorrow and costs of
the big cities and the disappointment
of the counties, in many instances, the
latter have been compelled to pay for

SKILL OF DOCTORS TESTED.
Fifteen Years of Suffering.
81 thought should surely die"

When the stomach begins to fail in
its duties, other organs speedily become
affected in sympathy, and life is simply a
burden almost unbearab1e. Indigestion
and dyspepsia are common that only
the sufferer from these diseases knows
the possibilities of misery that inhere in
them. A typical example of the sufferings
of the victim of indigestion is furnished
in the case of John c. Pritchard. He went
on for fifteen years, from bad to worse.
In spite of doctors he grew constantly
weaker, and thought he would die. He
got we'll, however, and thus relates his
experience:
"For fifteen years I was a great sufferer
from indigestion in its worst forms. /
tested the skill of many doctors, but grew
worse and worse, until I became so weak
could not walk fifty yards without having
to sit down and rest. My stomach, liver.
and heart became affected, and thought I
would surely die. I tried DR.. J. c. Ayers
Pills and they helped me right away. I
continued their use and am now entirely
we'll. I don't know of anything that will
quickly relieve and cure the terrible
sufferings of dyspepsia as DR.. Ayers
Pil1s."-JoHN c. PRITcHARD, Brodie, War

and perfect cure performed by DR.. Ayers
Pills. Similar results occur in every case
where DR.. Ayers Pills are used. "They
helped me right away" is the common
expression of those who have used them.
Here is another testimony to the truth OF
this statement:

who wish to be free from dyspepsia to
take one of DR.. Ayers Pills after dinner,
till their digestive organs are in good
order."-WM. STEINKE, Grant, Neb.
DR.. Ayers Pills offer the surest and
swiftest relief from constipation and all
its attendant ills. They cure dizziness,
nausea, heartburn, palpitation, bad breath,
coated tongue, nervousness, sleeplessness,
biliousness, and a score of other affections
that are, after all, only the signs of a more
deep rooted disease. You can find more

Mr.. T. G. Pearse, of Agricola, Alberta,
Canada, passed through Chicago recently en-
route to England He paints in glowing
colors the advantages of Western Canada,
and says that a large number of tenant farm
ers from the old country are making their
homes there, and those who, during the
past few years, have gone to that district
from the United States are doing remark
ably well. They find the climate delightful,
and, although in very poor circumstances
when they arrived, they are mostly doing
well and have excellent farms, some of them
being able to loan money to the new set
tiers.
As an example of what has been done by
colonists this year, he says Hugh Irvine,
who has been in the country Eve years,
threshed 5000 bushels of wheat and received
e cents per bushel for it. James Fitzgerald
raised 5000 bushels in the fourth year of his
settlement, while James Atkinson had a
crop of $500 bushels. These men started
without any capital, and were induced to go
through the representations of the Canadi-
an Government Agents. The development
of the Edmonton-K londike route has Gre
ated a home cash market. Hundreds of
square miles of magnificent farming country
yet remain for cultivation in the Saskatche-
wan Valley and is sold at low prices.

THE RIGHT TIME.

The territory on straight vote is democratic and this fall the demo- cratic candidate for delegate will have the support of the populists and sill yer republicans. The silver issue alone is enough ,o defeat the republicans Silver Belt.
 The silver issue defeated the demo crats in 1S96 and split the party wide open. Since then the republicans have healed their own differences and with the substantial issues raised by the war to a'd them they will win 2 glorious victory in the coming cleo tions. Suppose silver should succeed in Arizona-what would it avail the territory to send a free silver delegate to a sound money congress? Arizona will continue to be territory and he, magnificent resources will remain un developed just so long as she tries tt play lone .iand in politics The Re publican believes that the solid men O. the territory will support the republi can nominee for delegate to congress because of the certainty that the send ing of republican to Washington this winter will mean statehood in the neal future. The people who are shouting for free Silver, in the face of the as. surance that the country at large vii! again reDudiate silver, confess thai they are willing to see Arizona remair indefinitely outside the sisterhood o. states. They are for home, rule when there is no chance Of securing it, and against it when it appears likely of accomplishment through the medium of statehood

 This is the time to elect a republi- can delegate and to make a strone pull for statehood. A better oppor- tunity will not offer in years. Arizona has good standing in Washington just now by reason of the gallant con iuct of her Rough Riders. Every man who desires to see Arizona ad, vance should vote this fall for a re- publican delegate. When statehood is achieved there will be plenty of time ,or local fight on silver or any othe, issue.
