WEIGH HI BABY.

Nothing tells SO accurately how the
baby is thriving as its gain in weight
from week to week. Scientific men have
given such thorough study to the "bottle
fed baby that this tiny development of
our modern civilization now stands fully
as good a chance as his mothers milk
competitor in the matter of adding the
desirable number OF ounces from week
to week to his weight.
At birth the average baby weighs 71a
pounds, is 20h inches high; chest, l3la
inches; head, IA inches. Girls weigh about
a pound less. They are about the same
height. AT one year the baby should
weigh 2Oh pounds; at two, 26h2; at three,
81; at four, So; at five, Al.
During the first six months weigh your
baby without clothes) every week; dur
ing the next six months, at least every
two weeks. The first week baby will
probably lose from four to eight ounces,
after which he should steadily gain from
four to eight ounces a week up to the
time he is six months old. Now baby
will begin the troublesome job of cutting
his teeth, which will cut his gaining in
| two in the middle. But in spite of teeth
he should take o n from two to four
ounces Of weight each week. IT he does
not do this there is something wrong
with his food, his airings or bathing.
There are nan excellent proprietary
| foods for infants, but it is many times
not the easiest thing in the world to find
which one of these best suits the idiosyn-
| crasies of your baby's stomach. For this
| reason the 'tbottle fed baby may not
| gain as rapidly as the one that is nursed
| for the first two or three months. After
that the gain should be quite regular. BY
| the time the "bottle fed" baby is a year
| old he has a decided advantage of his
nursing friend, that o this time the
entire household is busy weaving. Bottle
fed" baby is tucked down in his crib with
his favorite nice, warm tipple on the pill
low beside him. quietly laughing in his
sleeve at the baby that has to go through
the process of being weaned.
At -four months baby should hold up his
head; at five months he should have
doubled his weight; at seven months he
should sit alone: at between nine and
10 months old he should bear his weight
on his feet, and at IL months give you g
proud little grin when o let go his
hands, hold one finger up to him and say

discordant strains from music boxes with

Five of these itinerant musicians came
from nobody knows where to that cor

fights rivals away. None of the five was
able to fight, though, and the warfare as
sumed an unique character.
They all played at once and it was the
plan of each to make the most clamor, SO
that pedestrians would gather about him
alone and drop their pennies into his tin

One old and decrepit beggar arrived on
the scene early and seated himself

began to play.
Then an aged woman assumed a point
of vantage 10 feet away. Her card went:

started the opposition. Another came,

amount of which is simply incalculable,
and it is safe to say that the income
from his properties would exceed that OF
the Car of Russia, which has been estl-
mated at $780, coo, 900 per annum. It m
cludes vast gold mines in Siberia and two
estates, either of which are larger than
many kingdoms, besides much city prop
erty. and a controlling interest in the
largest sturgeon fisheries.
Another Russian multi-milllonaire IS
the Princess Yousoupoff, whose husband
is of American descent. She, too, has
vast mining interests as we'll as holdings
in real estate and bonds, that are suffl-
Gent to net her an annual income far
greater than hat of many monarchs:
Equally inexilau stible is the Demldoff
estate, which controls many large mines
in Siberia.
OF course there are royal ~personages in
all parts of Europe whose wealth has
passed the $500, 900, 900 point, but it is not
customary to consider them with other
m~illionaires, though why they should not
take their place in the list is somewhat
of a mystery. The late Archduke AL
bert of Austria left nearly $500, 00O, 900 in
cash and bonds. besides a large slice of
the empire and about so per cent of all
the big manufactures in the country.
TIL father of the present Prince of Bull
garia had a fortune that represented tens
of millions of pounds sterling, and there
are scores of just such fortunes held by
royalty in Europe today. Even the de-
throned monarcls possess wealth to a de-
gree that would make many American
fortunes seem small. While the Bour-
bons are not as wealthy as some others,
they are comfortably we'll off, n the
wealth of the Orleans family is very
great. Don Carlos has expended millions
in carrying out his various adventures,
and yet he has as many more millions to
draw upon if occasion should demand so
that the time has passed when the term
