In the British Medical Journal is dis

claims that the alarming increase in

to the deadly custom" of hammering
the keyboard.
Whether or not the cause is due to
piano lessons may remain question,
but there is no denying the fact that
there is an enormous increase OF nerv-
Gus diseases among young girls at the
critical age of twelve to sixteen, when
they are just crossing the threshold of
womanhood Their nervous systems are
put to a severe strain by excessive study
at school, practice of music and anxiety
of examinations. II is during this try
ing time that girls become pale, weak
and nervous, and suffer the results of
irregularities of the delicate feminine
organs.

ate the great amount OF vitality which
its rapid growth requires, and at the
same time time furnish amusement for
whole family, II not for the whole
neighborhood.
| A minister's heart was once rejoiced
over the coming Of an heir; the hearts
of his parishioners were likewise over
joyed, for this was the first baby ever
born in the parsonage. But the little
one paid dearly for the honor, for its
numerous callers nearly shattered its
young nerves.
| The saddest case, of which | have
ever heard, was of child who was
taken by rail from California to the ex-
IRENE east. During the long trip the
passengers wanted some amusement,
and, as the love for babies is universal
they turned for entertainment to this
little one, talking with it, taking turns
in holding it, tossing it up, and at
tracing its attention in every possible
way.
The child soon commenced to show
signs OF illness, which grew more
alarming every day. When the moth
er reached her destination she consult
ed a physician, but it was too late.
The child died land the doctor declared
that it had been simply worn out.
The passengers had robbed the little
| life OF every particle OF its nervous
force and it had succumbed, a martyr
to their thoughtlessness.
Nature can often be assisted in doing
her best for an infant. / have heard
OF mother who lavished so much at
tention upon her first infant that it
constantly demanded more. She near
| ly lost her health by using up all her
vitality in complying with the whims
of the little monarch.
When the second child came an OPP
posite course was taken. The doctor
said that the training must begin
when the newcomer was two hours old,
and that no attention must be paid to
him when he cried. The nurse follow
ed the directions, and when the little
fellow began to cry she let him have
his cry out by himself.
When he was five weeks old his
mother took the full care of him and
gave him the same treatment. When
his bed time came he was put upstairs
alone, and he soon acquired the habit
OF taking his sleep in this manner.
Whenever the child would awake in
the morning before its mother, instead
of crying and awaking her, he would
amuse himself, laughing and kicking
up his heels.
Another instance similar to this
comes to my mind. A family was once
crossing the ocean in a steamer. The
father, mother, six children, and nurse
appeared at the breakfast table.
A fellow traveller asked the father
how many children he had and re-
ceived the answer Seven ''Are all
alive?i came the responses; 81 have
seen but six at the table"
1--WE have baby" said the father,
sin our stateroom. which is next to
this dining room.
The stranger then expressed de-
sire to see a baby that could be left
alone in strange place and yet not
cry. The proud father took him into
the room and there was baby lying
alone upon the bed as contented as
could be, while the father explained
that all was due to the training it had
received. -Household.

Earth Qualifications.

Military engineers are practically
agreed that no material for fortifica-
tons is superior to earth. When clay
is not obtainable, as on the seashore,
sand is collected into bags, and these
are laid In regular heaps along the line

a fertilization the balls from the enc

and shells explode harmlessly.

PHIHEAS YOUNG DISCHARGED
CITY HAS A RIGHT TO PROTECT
ITS WATER SUPPLY.
Decision by Justice McMaster in the
Case in Which Bishop Brinton Was
Interested.

Justice McAIaster rendered his de-
cision in the case against Phineas
Young yesterday afternoon-the case
wherein Young was arrested on the
complaint of D. B. Brinton for refusing
to allow loose cattle to be driven
through Parley's canyon. The justice
ordered defendant discharged, on the
ground that he was in the discharge OF
his duty
The opinion Of the court recited that
the state laws give cities the right to
prescribe regulations for the protection
of ali streams from which a water sup
ply is obtained within a distance Of ten
miles, and while such rules or regu-
lations may, to some extent, abridge
the rights and work a hardship on a
portion of the people, public policy and
considerations of health in large com
munities are justidable grounds on
which to compel the few to yield to the
necessities Of the MANY.
As the case was based on a criminal
charge and decided against the
state, no appeal can be had, so that il
the question is to be tested in the
higher courts, as it has been intfmated
it would be. some other tactics will
have TO be adopted.
