wife several times during the evening.

There are many women who have
this prejudice against girl babies, and
an amazing prejudice it is, whether the
matter be looked at from the senti-
mental or the practical standpoint.
After the first few years of helpless
and drooling infancy a boy is as rule
OF no use to his mother, no companion
for her and a source OF increasing
anxiety. Just as he attains to years of
discretion he marries and thenceforth
belongs to his wife's family. The girl,
on the other hand, is a pleasure to her
mother in infancy, companion in
girlhood and comfort and support in
old age
woman who has had a boy baby
makes an investment for the benefit Of
some other woman's old age. A
woman who has girl baby makes an
investment for herself For when the
daughter marries, the mother has
secured home and a bread winner.
The more girl babies a woman has
the larger is her insurance against
loneliness and proverty in the evening
OF her life.-New York World

PARROT STOPS A TRIP TO PARIS

Had it not been for mischievous
poll parrot-so tbs said-Miss Mary
Stroller would now be on the French
liner La Bretagne, bound for Paris
Primarily Miss Strotter's forgetfulness
was the cause of her tarry in Manhat
tan, but at the finish the parrot
clinched the matter-and Miss Stroller
grieves.
Miss Stroller was prompt in reach
ing the French Line pier. She was
there fully an hour before sailing time.
SO also were two trunks, her valise
and her steamer chair. Miss Strotter
had come from the West on Wednes-
day. She had stopped at the Green
witch Street Hotel.
It was not until just thirty minutes
before sailing time that she discovered
the one article indispensable to the
trip was missing-her ticket.
A messenger was passing. Miss
Strotter hailed him and sent him post
haste for the ticket. She told him
just where it could be found-on the
top of her dressing table. The hotel
was only three blocks away.
When the man did not return at the
end Of fifteen minutes Miss Strotter
grew anxious and almost ran back to
,er hotel She met the returning mes
senger at the door. The ticket could
not be found. She dashed by him to her
room and searched every corner Of it
in vain.
1t was ten minutes to sailing time.
She was in despair. She had begun a
fresh search of the room, when she
heard voice say: You're a fool,
you're fool"
It was the voice of a parrot that had
the range of the house at certain
hours. He was perched on shelf,
and under one claw was the missing
ticket. He flew away as she rushed
at him, but she got the ticket and ran
back to the pier.
La Bretagne was just backing into
the stream, and she will have to take
passage on the next ship sailing

SUMMER HEALTH PRECAUTIONS.

In a recent lecture before the New
York County Medical Society Dr.
Henry Dwight Chaplin discussed the
perils to which health is subjected in
the summer season. The maladies to
which there is an increased tendency
are chiefly those of the stomach and
bowels. But heat and loss of sleep,
which are common in hot weather,
leave the system in an exhausted con-
dition and render their victims more
susceptible to other troubles also. Sun
stroke, too, is one of the ills peculiar
to hot weather.
To demonstrate the effect of the
season on the digestive apparatus, DIR.
Chaplin furnishes a few figures taken
from the death statistics of New York
city. During the months of June,
July, August and September for five
successive years (1895-'99) there were
1920 deaths from Inflammation of the
stomach or bowels among adults,
whereas in November December, jan
uary and February there were only 974,
or about One-ffth as many. The diff
ference is more striking, though, when
comparison is made in regard to the
deaths of children under the age of 5
from diarrhOea. These, in the four
winter months for five consecutive
years, were only $50, and in the sum-
mer reached an aggregate of 9,769, Or
nearly Is times as many.
This great increase in fatality and
in the number of cases which did not
terminate in death was partly due to
the prostrating effects of summer tenn
peratures and partly to the difficulty
in keeping food untainted. In summer
meat, fish and milk are liable to spoil
rapidly. The development of poison
Gus ptomaines in them is often unat-
tended by any marked change in the
taste or smell of those articles. But
by keeping them in cool place dill
gently and beginning that course OF
treatment at the earliest possible mo-
ment this danger may be lessened- And
though at all seasons of the year it is
wise to use water that is shown to be
uncontaminated in washing vessels
that are to contain milk, especial care
should be taken in summer. A diet Of
fruit, vegetables and milk is much to
be preferred to one of meat in hot
weather, but the fruit should be ripe
and sound and the milk pure and
fresh.
After looking up the deaths from
alcoholism, DR.. Chaipn remarked that
there have been fewer in summer than
in winter, AGO being the number for
the summer months, against 525 for
the four winter months of these five
years. It is we'll known, however, that
alcoholism is a common predisposing
cause of death in sunstroke.-New
York Tribune.
