HER SCFPTER HAS Passed

California's prestige as the banner
been taken away. Its sceptcr as the
queen of auriferous production has
pa ssed into the hands of rival
commonwealth.
The contest between California and
Colorado has been officially decided 10y
the figures of the director of the mint.
These credit the Centennial state with
one-tbird OF the entire gold output OF
the United states and so per cent more
than California turned out in the last
twelve months.
In 1898 the gold product of Colorado
was $23.195 800, while that Of Cali
fornia was but ST. %, 637 300. The re
spective yields of the two states in
1897 were $l9,1o4 200 for Colorado
and only $14,6ls 800 for California.
In the early days California yielded
enormously from placer mining, but in
vcntion intensified and developed the
methods of extracting mineral wealth
OF late years, and she fell behind. Al
though many California mines are
steadily maintaining their outpu',
nearly all the new strikes have been
made In Color ado. From the newer
mines are extracted a vast quantity
Of low grade ores, and these ores are
being discovered in greater abun-
dance In Colorado than on the Pacific
coast :. (

POOR BABY.
Its Father Is Bound to Make q Wonder
of IL.

of II.
There is a physician in West Phila-
delphia who has a son / year old and
this baby is probably the strongest
human being for its age and weight
in the world. Its father will hold a
cane in his two hands and the baby,
grasping 1t, will draw itself up to its
chin three times. That is but one OF
its numerous feats OF strength The
physician says that his boys unusual
muscular development is due to a daily
massage treatment. Every morning he
lays the little fellow, naked, on a
blanket and kneads his muscles for
thirty minutes. Once a month he
weighs the baby and measures its
calves, chest, arms, etc. The monthly
increase of weight and girth is remark
able. The baby has never had shoes
or stockings on its feet or a hat on its
head, and in the summer IL wears only
a little sleeveless dress that comes to
its knees. 1t takes a cold bath every
morning. IF nothing goes wrong" the
physician often declares, this child
will be one of the strongest men the
world has ever seen. He will never get
bald, and he will never lose a tooth. AS
for his muscles, with massage and a
course of exercise that | have laid out,
they will be big and supple all over his
body. All his flesh will be. when tense,
as hard as steel, and when relaxed as
soft as the flesh OF young girl"
