WEIGH YOUR 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 devel-
opment OF our modern civilization now
stands fully as good 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 boy
weighs seven and one-half pounds, is
twenty and one-half inches high I;
chest thirteen and one-half inches,
head fourteen inches. Girls weigh
about pound less. They are about
the same height. At one year the
baby should weigh twenty and one
half pounds; at 2, twenty-six and one
half; at 5. thirth-one; at A, thirty-fve /;
ats, forty-one.
During the first six months weigh
your baby without clothes) every
week; during 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 6 months
old. Now baby will begin the trouble
some job OF cutting his teeth, which
will cut his gaining in two in the mid
die. But in spite OF teeth he should
take on from two 10 four ounces in
weight each week. II be does not do
this there is something wrong with
his food, his airings or bathing.
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 be-
tween nine and ten months old he
should bear his weight on his feet,
and at twelve months give you a proud
little grin when you let 90 his hands,
hold one finger up to him and say.
"Nowl All alone" When he is ii
or 10 months old he will walk all over
the room and keep you busy seeing
that he does not take "header" out
OF bed or down stairs. But never urge
your baby to walk. lie will do it OF
his own accord as soon as his bones
and muscles are strong enough.

out advices to postmasters OF the adop-
ton Of a new form of postal money

ually as the supply OF the old forms

SIN More Counserfeiting.

The Secret Service has unesrthed
another band OF counterfeiters and
secured large quantity OF bogus bills,
which are SO cleverly executed that
the average person would never sus-
pect them of being spurious. Things
OF great value are always selected by
counterfeiters for imitation, notably
the celebrated Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, which has many imitators but
no equals for indigestion, dyspepsia,
constipation, nervousness and general
debility. The Bitters sets things right
in the stomach, and when the stomach
is in good order it makes good blood
and plenty Of it. In this manner the
Bitters get at the seat Of strength and
vitality, and restore vigor to the weak
and debilitated. Beware of counter
feits when buying.

Overlooked n Paying Mine.

The Golden Tunnel mine in the
Cascade mountains, State of Washing
ton, located last year, has developed
into paying mine so quickly as to
make the property the mining wonder
OF the Northwest. Two of the three
men who located it sold their interest
without knowing its value. They
thought the bright yellow dirt at the
bottom of the cave was mountain goat
guano. Somebody assayed this dirt
and found il to be disintegrated quartz,
averaging $21 to the ton in fine gold.

AGAINST FREE GRAZING.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-Prof. Lamp
son Scribner, chief Of the gastrology
division of the Agricultural depart
ment, has just returned from an ex-
tended tour of the Pacific coast and
Northwest, where he went to study
the grasses and forage plants of those
regions. The Government has grass
arm at Walla Walla, where extensive
experiments are making with grass
available for the vast arid tracts Of the
West.
The most startling condition Prof.
Scribner found was in the big cattle
ranges on the public lands east OF the
Cascades in eastern Oregon, Washing
ton. Wyoming, Idaho and Colorado.
These ranges are badly overstocked
and there has been consequently a
great deterioration of grass upon them.
Radical measures will be required to
restore them to frst-class conditions
as pasture lands.
Upon the advice OF Prof. Scribner,
Secretary Wilson in his forthcoming
annual report will recommend that
the Government cease the policy of
allowing free grazing and substitute a
system of leases. This would place
the land leased entirely under the
control Of the lessee and make ii to his
own interest not to overstock his
range. As further incentive it is
suggested that it might be well to give
the lessee the preference when the
land is sold.

TIME HE WAS MARRIED.

A recent wedding in a western town
was 80 much interrupted that the
friends Of the welded pair found spe-
cial reason to congratulate them when
the ceremony was at last over. All
went merrily until the bridegroom
was called upon to produce the we'd
ding ring. In vain he felt in his
trousers for the indispensable article.
Nothing could be found except hole
through which the ring had evidently
fallen into the high boot which the
young man wore. What was TO be
done?
"Take your boot off," said the par
son.
The suspense and silence were pair
full.
The organist. at the priests bidding,
struck up voluntary"
The young man removed his boot; ;
the ring was found also hole in his
stocking, and the worthy minister re-
marked. evidently with more than the
delay of the ceremony in mind:
"Young man, it is time you were
married."

OPENING OF THE STAR COURSE

A Delightful Concert BY the Boston
Ladies' Military Band, Miss Lois Nc.
Cobb, COntraItO, and Paul DurauIt
Tenor.
The Young Mems Christian association,
entertainment season for 1899 1900 opened
ausplciously at the Auditorium Monday
evening, the attraction being the Boston
Ladies Military band, d. w. Howard, di.
rector, assisted by Miss Lois McCobb
contralto, and Paul Dufault tenor. The
association made no mistake in its selec.
ton for the opening entertainment, after a
lapse OF several years, and If the succeed.
ing dates in the course bring as much sat
istaction as did the first the way will be
left open for a successful course next year.
The audience Monday evening was large,
and the enthusiastic applause which II
gave was well merited.
The band was organized last year by the
Central Lyceum Bureau, by which IL Is ex-
clusively controlled. 1t is composed of %
young women, all Of whom are gifted. not
only with the power Of artistic execution.
but with large degree of poetic inter.
probation. Before the closing number Mr..
Howard announced that the band would
play, by request, popular street march,
but so sweetly and skilfully had the time
and tune of the classical selections been
brought out that the popular dstaste for
classical music had been dispelled and the
enthusiasm over the music of the higher
grade was much more noticeable. The
duet by Miss Grace Z. Hardy and Miss
Carrie G. Childs, cornetists, and the solo
by Miss Belle b. Yeaton, trombonist, were
specially delightful and the artists received
deserved recognition.
Walter Damrosch's assertion that he be-
lieved Mr. Dufault TO be the future ora
torio tenor of America gave the audience
right TO expect some superb singing and
II was not disappointed. Mr.. Dufault was
repeatedly recalled after his rendition of
the aria LEND Me Your Aid from Gou-
mods ia Refine de Saba" He was ac
companied by Prof. F. c. F. Cramer of
Brattleboro.
The only disappointment throughout the
concert was the fact that there was no on
portunity TO accord Miss McCobb the cred
it to which she was entitled. Her second
selection from Victor Herbert's Serenade.
accompanied by the band, was simply
magnificent, but it was followed by long
postlude which choked out the demonstra-
ton which otherwise would certainly have
followed. Miss McCobb's tones were
beautifully placed and we're intensely
sweet and melodious. She has an unusu-
ally wide range and a volume which is re-
