The EuRIiAh Race.

One not insignificant feature OF the
present situation is the impetus which
it is likely to give TO the solidarity OF the
English race. We say English rather
than Anglo-Saxon. because the latter
name is misleading and unhistoric. For
modern England and modern America
derive their ancestry quite as much from
Dane and Celt. from Scot and Gael. as
from the Teutonic invaders Of Britain.
But whatever the name. the race IL a
potent influence in the world. and in its
closer union lie possibilities which no
one can forecast. Even a pacific solution
of the Cuban question will not obiiterate
the fact that for the first time since the
American revolution all nan OF English
speech have felt that they are truly
brothers, and that the advantage of one
is the advantage of all. We nave had
our quarrels, and they have been bitter
ones: but before continental Europe We
acknowledge the bond OF blood. II Is

Room for the Children.

1t is desirable that growing children
should have room all to themselves,
where they can be free to move around
and dissrrange things if they feel like
it. In England the nursery is made
much more of than it is over here, and
the children's quarters, as they are
called, frequently consist of study,
p.ayroom aud individual bedrooms at
tended by their own corps of servants.
This is rather an eXtrayagant idea for
the average American home, but it
often proves possible to devote one
room to the sole use of the young men,
beers of the household and their goods
and chattels. The mother is happy who
knows that her young men and wom-
en- are where they can indulge in mis-
chief to their hearts content without
danger of harm. The liberty which
this gives her to devote certain portions
of the day TO other occupations proves
valuable acquisition to her economics.

MANAGING INFANTS.
Babies Need Reasonable Amount
of .Letting Alone"

Although the baby is an exceedingly
tiny member of the establishment, it
requires more steps and mere care
than any other, and sometimes more
than all the rest put together. Espe-
cially is this the case if the child is
at all ailing or irritable, or has been
spoiled during the first few months Of
its existence. The doing fondness of
mothers for their babies, especially the
first ones, is responsible for great
deal of hard work and unnecessary
trouble as they grow older. There is
nothing so beneficial to baby of any
age as reasonable amount of judicious
letting alone. This does not by any
means presuppose neglect or even the
lack of sutficien: attention, but it does
include among other things that rest
and quiet and freedom from continual
nervous strain that wrecks so many
babies, and is one of the principal
causes Of the remarkable number OF
deaths that our statisticiaps are forced
TO chronicle.

LARD VS.. BACON.
A Question for Those Who Raise Hogs In
the South to Consider

the South to Consider.
The manner of raising hogs in the
south would produce the sort of bacon
demanded by the market, and that
most suitable for the farmers table
were it not for the single fact that hogs
are kept until they are a year and
half old, and then the tendency to lay
on fat is too great. Few southern hogs
are fed too much corn, they live prin-
cipally on grass and other food which
the mild climate enables them to find
the whole year round and are only fed
corn for few weeks before slaugh-
tered. Strange as it may seem, how
ever, in the north, where lard hogs are
numerous they are clamoring for bacon
hogs, while in the south, where the
razor-back yields the best of bacon,
the demand is for lard hog. The
southern people consume more lard per
capita than any other people. 1t is
to say they use three times as much as
the same number of northern people.
The hot bread-biscuits which they eat
three times day, explains the matter.
1t is this demand for lard that makes
the big fat hog so popular in the south
and induces our people to keep their
hogs until they reach an age and size
far beyond the profitable limit as
judged by northern standards. Our
climate, the nature of the foods most
easily produced and our type of
hogs all combine to favor the pro-
duction of the bacon hogs. Grades
produced by breeding thoroughbred
boars of any of the improved breeds
on our common stock of sows fill the
bill admirably for bacon hog. On the
other hand a lard hog is exceedingly
expensive in this section. The common
stock must be kept until they are old
before they will lay on fat, while corn,
the food par excellence for making
lard, is expensive. Lard at five or
six cents pound and corn at 40 or so
cents per bushcl are not in harmony.
From these facts it would seem that
we might afford to buy our lard from
the north if we would only give more
attention to producing more bacon
enough for home use and surplus to
exchange for northern lard.
