the reliance of an efficient woman who

his wife has a refined true taste he feels

TWO MR.. SPRINGS.
Strange Coincidence in Names OF
Two Soldiers at Camp
WIkon.

There were two men of the same name
in the Twentieth infantry at Camp
Wikoff, says the New York Press. One,
hailing from Massachusetts, Is a ser
geant of company |. while the other. a
Pennsylvania. is a private in conn
pany NJ.
Soon after the regiment arrived at
Montauk Point, Sergt. Spring began to
get very flattering letters from young
lady living in small Pennsylvania
town; also express packages. which
were none the less welcome for being
unexpected At the same time Private
Spring was deciding that he must be
able to charm at distance, because a
Massachusetts, girl was writing to him
ina particularly afIectionate strain, and
wanting to know If there wasn't some
thing she could send him.
Private Spring thought of lot of
things that he could use if he had them,
but AS the fair correspondent had
omitted to sign her last name, it didn't
seem feasible to write for them. Pres
emily both Springs began 70 get letters
complaining that no answer had been
received to questions asked in the
writer's previous letters.
At ,he height OF the tanglc Sergt.

walked back, asking what was wanted

sergeant

Francis Joseph Spring"

geant.
Say" he added, as a thought struck
him, "do you get letters from girl
named Molly?"
mo, don't" replied the other. Not
as many as l ought to-"

sergeant 81 guess they're yours"
"Ive got some from Sarah that III

ming.
"Ihat's n 60" answered the Massa.
chusetts man, and all was satisfactorily
arranged, except for the contents OF
sundry packages, which had been de
voured.
After that the two Springs met every
other day and held mail exchange.

Hroom-Corn Prices Advanced.

Chicago, April s.-Broom. corn took
a jump of $40 a ton here yesterday.
The immediate cause of the advance,
attributed by some indirectly to the
combination of the broom-corn inter
ests recently formed in this city, was
the raising of the price by the Central
Broom-Corn association, which met at
Charleston, ILL., Dealers from Chica-
go, Kansas City and ST. Louis were
present and the proceedings were gov.
erned by reported shortage of the
supply. Another meeting will be held
in May, when further advance will
be considered. 1t is said the trust has
a corner on all the available stock.

Disease is a great and treacherous ocean.
Man ever stands upon its shore and gazes
out over its calm surface without thought
OF danger. 1t ticks his faet-it advances
and recedes almost playfully-but all the
same It will crack his bones and eat him,
and wipe the crimson foam from its Jaws
as II nothing had happend, as il has been
doing ever since the world began
A man who carelessly saunters alorg the
shore OF the insatiate sea of disease will
some day encounter a great storm in the
form of some fatal malady and will be EN-
quilted. Because man does not have to go
TO bed when he suffers from trivial indi-
gestion, because he does not have to give
up work when he gets nervous and cannot
sleep at night, because he can still force
down an unsatisfactory meal when he is
suffering from loss of appetite, because by
strong effort he can add a column of figures
with aching head-is no reason that these
disorders are trifling or to be neglected.
They are the warnings of serious sickness.
A man who promptly needs them, and re-
sorts to the right remedy will speedily re-
cover his usual health. The man who neg
lects them will find that he is in the grip
of consumption, some nervous disorder, or
some other dread malady, due to improper
or insufficient nutrition. DR.. Pierccs

BABIES OF THE WORLD.
stntistician Makes Unique CnlcuIa-
ton of the Boys and Girls
Born Every Year.

1t has been computed that about
36,000,000 babies are born into the
world each year. says Woman's Life.
The rate of production is, therefore,
about 70 per minute, or more than one
for every beat of the clock
With the one-a-second calculation
every reader is familiar, but it is not
everyone who stops to calculate what
this means when it comes TO a years
supply. 1t will, therefore, probably
startle good many persons to find, on
the authority of a well-known statisti-
clan, that could the infants of a year
be ranged in line in cradles, the era
dies would extend around the world.
The same writer looks az the matter
in more picturesque light. He inn
agines the babies being carried past a
given point in their mothers arms, one
by one, and the procession being kept
up night and day until the last hour
in the twelfth month had passed by.
A sufficiently liberal rate is allowed
but even in going past at the rate of
90 minute, 200 an hour during the
entire year, the reviewer at his post
would have seen only the sixth part of
the infantile host.
In other words, the babe that had TO
be carried when the tramp began
would be able to walk when but a mere
fraction of its comrades had reached
the reviewers post, and when the years
supply of babies was drawing to a
close there would be rear guard, not
of infants, but of romping siX-year-
old bows and girls

Hot TeacnISe.

Three-quarters of pound of -four,
one-half teaspoon of salt, one ounce Of
butter, one-half ounce of compressed
yeast, one egg, ~ gills Of milk, about
one-fourth teaspoon of powdered
sugar. Mix together the -four and
salt, then rub in the butter. Cream the
yeast and sugar together till they
are liquid. Warm the milk till it
is just tepid. and mix it with the yeast.
Beat up the egg and add it to the milk,
then strain the milk, etc. into the mid
die of the flour and mix it lightly In.
Turn the paste onto a Toured board
and knead lightly, using little flour to
prevent it sticking. Well grease two
high round cake tins. Divide the dough
in two. Make each in a round cake and
drop it into the tin. Twist a piece of
creased paper over the tops, and put
them to rise till the dough fills the tins.
Probably they will take one hour.
When risen enough. bake in a quick
