A FIAT MONEY MAN.

In fact many OF them go beyond this,
and say that since Mr.. Granger has an
nounced that he is nat money man he
Is not a At man 10 be in the city treasury
and this is why the self-appointed Gran
ger boomers are throwing out spite and
venom upon those who will not fall into
lineand refuse TO be scared by that alb
sohItely fictitious "bogey man that they
are threatened with.
These Granger conspirators say that
there is not the slightest reason for any
belief that the reputable people OF the
city OF Providence are in the minority.
This is Just what Is the matter. The
reputable people are not in the minority
and for this reason Will not ALLOW few
men, unauthorized and unknown, 10 force
them to do violence 20 their honest con-
yietions. The reputable people will do
what they consider best for the interests
ofthe city, and ~ is safe TO assume that
theywill not consider the l6 10 free silver
policy>as represented by Mr.. Granger for
the best interest of this community.
The leaders of the Perkins movement
state today that everything Ia progress
ing very favorably I'm the interest of their
candidate, and that they have no doubt
that the caucuses can be carried for Mr'
Perkins on Monday evening next. Mr..
Perkins SAYS that he is daily in receipt
of pledges of support from representative
Democrats and he is determined 10 keep
up the fight for the nomination from his
party.

The pond Is said 20 have no bottom, and
is one of the two curiosities OF the coun-
try from a floating bridge which spans
it. The pond lies on the way from Lynn

The district is not thickly settled though
electric cars pass through hourly at some
200 yards distant.At 10 a. m. today James
English and James Torrance were passing
and saw a sack floating In the water near
the side OF the bridge near the shore.

NURSERY COOKERY.
DIET IN DISEASE.
BY Christine Terhune Herrick.

Continued from last week.
So far in these papers reference has
been made chiefly to diet for healthy
children. The motherwho has none others
willprobably hardly appreciate the cray-
ing that fills the soul Of the woman VINO
has delicate child to know what VIII
agree with her baby,-or even not dlsa-
gree with him. She can stand with TOT
cradle patience the struggle TO discover
something he can take during the nrst
months OF his life, If for any reason she
has been unable to nurse him herselI.
She can even undergo the long agony OF
seeing one highly recommended artlcle
after another fail to suit his poor llttle
stomach, and can cheer herseH up
through the first six months with the
helpful assurance bestowed upon her py
numberless kind old ladies that cones
end with the first half year.
But when that apparently intermina-
bic period Is overland no one put
mother who has had a fragile lntaht
can guess how long II seems,-and the
poor baby defies precedent and eontlh-
ues to have stomach aches, the mother
endurance is sorely taxed II is no Won
der that she becomes nervously anxious
about the little creatures food, ana that
even when she has fought through the
sickly babyhood years into delicate
childhood. the chief end Of her life
! should be the selection of diet that
will suit him.
It's almost impossible 70 give positive
| instructions with regard to the Dill OIL
fare Of a sick baby. So much depends
upon the form his weakness takes. con-
| situation demands one kind Of treat
ment, lax bowels another. Untold harm
is done by the readiness Of the mother
to try remedies or palliatives suggested
BY other matrons. 1t is no wonder that
| an inexperienced and anxious parent
grasps eagerly at any advice that may
help her darling. and such advice Is al
ways given with an air OF eonyle-
ton that carries weight. A high degree
Of moral courage is required % With
stand the temptation TO give the baby
who Is suffering and plainly requires
change OF some sort-the article or 1000
that another mother Of wider experience
confidently asserts Is the one thing h
needs TO bring him into a fiourishin9
condition. Sometimes the article sug
gested would be Of benefit TO the child
but it is risky to try experiments with
out the endorsement Of the family ply
sician.
SIN there are a few simple helps tina
il is always well for the mother TO know
how to prepare, When told BY her doc
tor to put grated -four ball in the FOO
for her baby. who is suffering iron
diarrhoea, she should have some idea
how to make it, and the woman who ha
, a constipated child Is pretty safe in ad
ding a preparation OF gluten -four to tn
contents OF the baby's bottle,
