AILMENTS OF CHILDREN.
Some of the AinoR Affections and the
Best Way~tO Treat
Them.

Among minor ailments of children

need be no fear of a fatal ending
may be mentioned chicken pox. This
is a febrile disease OF an infectious
but harmless nature, which is sell
dom attended by any constitutional
disturbance, and the illness does not,
as rule, last more than a week, says
the ST. Louis Republic.
Like measles and whooping cough,
chicken pox generally occurs in an
epidemic form. The premonitory
symptoms are very slight. The child
usually complains Of headache, and
of feeling tired, apd goes Willingly
to bed at an earliek hour than usual.
Within few hours an eruption ap-
pears on the face, neck and other
parts of the body. The treatment
consists in keeping the child in
warm but well-venfilated room lit is
seldom necessary to keep children
in bed for chicken pox), and in diet
| ing on milk, farinaceous buildings
and stewed fruit.
The treatment in case of mumps
depends largely upon the severity of
the attack. Sometimes it may be
found necessary to keep the patient
in bed for a few days, and especially
is this the case in highly sensitive
and nervous children. No child SUI
| fering from mumps should be al
lowed to go out of doors on any pre-
text whatever; the patient should be
kept to one room as much as pos
sible. A simple saline, such as two
drains of sulphate of magnesia or n
seidlitz powder, viii probably be nee
essary The ailment often leaves
anaemia and much debility in it's
train, so that tonic treatment will
probably be necessary during con-
| vaIesceuce.

NOW RIDES A WHEEL.
Decided New Woman Ideas Put in
Practice by the Wife OF the Turk
fish Minister at Warrington.

There is new topic among the res
icents of Cleveland Park over the
latest achievements of Nine. Ali Fer
rouh, the wife of the Turkish min
lister, who now rides bicycle as well
as any of her American sisters,
writes a Washington correspondent
of the New L ork Hero1d.
The gossips, who regard this de-
parture from native form as a very
cOmmendabIe piece of independence
in Mime. Ferrouh, are not slow to re-
call the fart that very little more than
a year ago Nine. Ferrouh was as
zealously shielded from observation
as any Mohammedan woman in her
own realm, and curiosity concern
ing her was on tiptoe. Every time
she went out for walk some enter
prising camera fiend would spring
from an ambush near by and endeav-
or to get a snapshot of her.
Before the birth of her little boy,
on july 4 last, she submitted to the
cloister-lil1e existence insisted upon
by the minister. Since then, how
ever, Nine. Ferrouh has gradually
been adopting some very decided new
wome ideas, and now she rides
about the park with an up-to-date
American costume and of late has
even discarded the veil she used to
wear over her face when taking her
morning spin. Mile. Ferrouh, sister of
the minister, always accompanies
Nine. Ferrouh.

On a level, the cyclist pedals as usual

IS A FINE WHEELMAN.
AguinaIdO, the Filipino Insurgens
Leader, Said to Be Enthusiasts
ticaIIy Devoted to Cycling.

1t is not generally known that the
famous Filipino, Aguinaldo, had his
bicycle to thank time and again for
the enemy. The little general has been
Systematically held up by an ardent
American press as lacking in most of
the physical characteristics that go to
make up a man, but according to the
statement of an American "globe trot-
ter" who a night or two ago enter
tanned a group of friends in the cafe
of the Imperial hotel, in New York,
with sundry interesting accounts of
his travels, the diminutive Filipino in
no wise lacks many of the qualities of
his captor, Col. Funston. himself.
The traveller at the Imperial had ha d
ample opportunity TO study the insur-
gent leader at Hong-Kong, prior to ADJ
miral Dewey's sortie into Manila bay,
and learned upon excellent authority
that Aguinaldo is an accomplished
horseman, good swordsman, a clever
boxer and an enthusiastic wheelman.
While waiting for the expected" at
Hong-Kong the Filipino leaders IA
vorite diversion was an afternoon spin
a-wheel over the fashionable drives of
the Chinese metropolis. He wore the
regulation cycle costume, and was in
variably accompanied by his secretary,
Lopez, who now makes his headquar-
tiers at Montreal. He rode a high
geared American wheel, and, like most
athletes of small build, was graceful
and strong rider. subsequently, ac-
cording to the narrator, he took this
same wheel with him to Manila, and
when fortune went against him car
ried it with him into the interior of
Luzon, where he used it to advantage
until it was ''put out of business" by
badly punctured tires, which for OBJ
vious reasons he was unable to renew.
Funston said the traveller, sis be-
yond doubt great fighter, but if
Senior Aguinaldo's tires had been in
good condition he would not now be in
Manila guard house. 1 know, for I
watched him throw dust in many a
pair of eyes on the Rotten Row of
Hong-Kong just before Dewey set sail
for CaVite"

how great may be the apparent risk.
The patient will ride up the north
shore on a suburban train and viii
be met at the proper station by the
real estate agent with an impressive
landau and pair of high stepping
horses. He will be driven through
winding roads and carefully laid out
country places to a large stone struc-
ture, containing 20 rooms, with care
takers lodge in front and several cast
iron deer disporting on the lawn.
"Now, here the real estate man
will say, sis a modest, quiet, little
place. 1t has all the charms of a
truly rural situation, and at the same
time is fitted with hot air furnace
and driveway boardered with large
whitewashed stones. I can let you
have this whole place, just as it
stands, including the ornamental.

There is nothing the friends and
attendants of the amateur farming
victim can do when this discovery is
made except to be patient and wait
for the treatment to run it's regular
course. A few days after the second
correction has been made a third
real estate agent will appear. He will
be so fluent and so enthusiastic that
all the worst symptoms of the dis
ease will reappear. He will take the
patient out on one of the elevated
roads and will show him little toy
house, painted in several bright
colors. Then he will point out plat
feet, in the rear of the house, and
will declare that it offers "fine OPP
portunity for market gardening
Only one more treatment is usually

a man with a place to which none of
the objections which have proved
fatal in the other cases applies.
There is plenty of ground about the
house, it is located only few miles
from the city and close to a railroad
station, it rents for even less than
the amount fixed, and there are other
advantages over which the agent
grows eloquent. The patient, who is
now well on the way to recovery,
goes out to look at it. 1t is a small

FEW FAMILIES ARE LARGE.
Recent Census shows That births IL
Great Britain Have Decreased !
in Later Years.

There have been many surprises in
the census of Great Britain recently,
taken. and much concern has been
manifest throughout the kingdom
over evidences it presents of national
retrogression. While the emigration
from Ireland increases from year to
year, a curious phenomenon is OBJ
served elsewhere in the United King
dom. The number of marriages is in-
creasing and the number OF births de-
creasing. There never were so many
marriages in England as there were
in the year 1899. But the records OF
the birth rate run down to the low
est figure. England, that was SO
proud of her increase in population,
from 100000 to 100000 since the
commencement of the French revOlu-
ton, while during the same period
the population of France increased
only from %, 900 to 3s,OOo,OOO, now
finds her population diminishing.
But the strange thing about it is
that the same phenomenon is OBJ
served in Australia, in New Zealand
and in all the countries inhabited ex-
clusively by Anglo-Saxons. The
London Daily Telegraph gives q cause
for the phenomenon which may per-
haps be the true one, and this cause
is none other than the rebellion,
often noticed by close Observers, of
the Anglo Saxon women against ma
ternity-a rebellion which is the con-
sequence of their passion for indie
pendence and their constantly in
creasing desire to become equal if not
superior to men in the intellectual oc-
equations and in physical exercises.
In saying this we refer particularly
| to American women. For the ladies'
of the law, and the medical and jour
nalistic ladies maternity is nuis-
ance, just as it is for those whose
| greatest delights are bicycle riding,
tennis, golf and hockey.
Coming back to Ireland, it is found.
according to the official figures, that
47,1O7 emigrants abandoned in the
year 1900 the country to which they
are so deeply attached. These figures
represent 1O.5 per thousand of the
population. They show an increase
of 3,347 over the figures for 1899
and $4,000 over those of 1898. Since
the beginning of the reign of Vic
toria the population of Ireland de-
creased from 100000 to 100000.
The laws in favor of the farmer, the
establishment of elective county
councils and the numerous lines of
railway have had no effect upon emi-

kind and long innocent of paint. It
is badly in need of repair and worse
in need of cleansing. In the dirty
yard around the house a couple of
buggies and other vehicles, each of
them minus at least one wheel. are
sadly reclining. On the remnants of
the fence a gaunt cat is perched, and
a yellow hound dog is tied with
rope to a stake in front of a barrel
lying on its side. In the background
brown and white billygoat is play
fully eating the decayed remains Of
what was once lawnmower.
'All the live stock and implements
go with the place." says the agent,
whose sense of humor has never been
developed.
In nine cases out of ten the cure is
now complete, and the recovered vic
tim hurries back to close a lease of
his fat for two years, with the
privilege of renewal.
Once in great while, however, a
man has been so strongly infected
with the amateur farming virus thai
even this treatment is not efficacious.
He goes rapidly from one crisis to an
other, until finally he wakes up some
morning and finds that most of his
decisions and Authorizations have be-
come realities. The Jersey COW may
not voluntarily bring forward the pat
of butter, and the hens may leave
their eggs where they lay them, but,
in general, he realizes all that he has
dreamed of. 1t is almost always the
case that he runs across the place
which strikes his fancy purely by ac-
cident. He falls in love with it at
first sight. Sometimes he is found
later anxiously consulting a divorce
lawyer in the real estate line. But
in the first blush OF possession he
feels that he must be envied of the
gods.-Chicago Tribune.

Damare caused BY Nce,ect

In Wheeling, as in other things, it
should be borne in mind that it is neg
Iect which does the most damage. A
loose spoke is very small thing if it
is attended to at once, but neglected
it will sson injuriously affect the
whole wheel. A loose CIR ill-ftting
pedal pin is usually easy to fix; screw
it home, or, if it is loose fit, put lit
tie resin on the thread and then tight
en-, and it viii be ali right. But neglect
it-ride few miles with it loose. and
the result will be ruined pin or crank,

ience, but less also. And the list might

Japanese Contempt of Pain.

A resident of Philadelphia. who took
into his house as a valet japanese
boy, was somewhat startled the other
day by the frank remark of his serv-
ant.
The gentleman was walking about
the room in his bare feet when he
studded his toe and tore the nail.
While the valet was putting on his
masters stockings he happened to
touch the injured toe, whereuPon the
gentleman uttered a sharp cry of pain
and told him to be more careful. The
boy smiled, looked up into his mas
ter's face, and said:
"You great, big baby"
"What's that?" asked the astonished
gentleman.
''In my country" went on the little
Japanese, when baby hurt himself,
baby cry. But after he five years, boy
or man hurt himself, he say: 1T make
no matter"
The gentleman admitted the wisdom
of the argument, but pleaded that he
was too old to attempt to acquire jap
anese stoicism.-Y Youths Companion
