INCUBATOR BABIES.
A Curiosity of Advanced
Civilization.

Among barbarous peoples it Is the
common custom to destroy the weak
ling child. Even among some civilized
people as in China and India the same
practice obtains to a greater or less de-
gree. In our own land science has bent
its energies to the saving of the weakling
baby, and to that end has devised the
baby incubator, in which the tempera-
ture and every other condition which
makes for the infants growth can be
perfectly controlled and regulated.
The baby incubator has directed seri-
Gus attention to the fact that a great

Just Tell Them So
There's much to do the whole way
through,
And little use complaining,
For the darkest night will change to
light
And the blacklist cloud quit raining
If worth you find in weak mankind,
Twill do all good to know
That some one thought they nobly
wrought.
And frankly told them so.
Enough will remain of bitter pain,
With all the aid you lend;
Some will be sad and other glad
On down to the journeys end.
AS in the throng you pass along,
With rapid strides or slow,
If virtue you see in bond or free,
Just stop and tell them so.
There are many cares in home affairs
That wear the brain and heart,
And many way, most every day,
In which to bear a part.
If you love your wife as you do your
life,
1t will keep her heart aglow,
And make her feel your love is real,
To often tell her so.
If on the road you see load
Some pilgrim downward pressing,
A willing hand to help him stand
Will bring you back a blessing.
So in the fight 'twixt wrong and right
That's waging here below,
Should praise be said, don't wait till
dead,
Before you tell them so.

Fortunately for our humanity, our
capacity for mental suffering is limi-
ted. and unhappiness is more evenly
distributed than is generally supposed.
The intense depression of spirits for
which the exciting reason is wholly in
adequate really causes its victim as
much misery as a tangible misfortune
Although it is difficult to realize that
we can be wretched only to a certain
extent, says the New York Tribune, il
is quite true that we really react from
a deep sorrow almost as quickly as
from a much milder affection 1t is
almost a comfort to know that we can
suffer just so much and no more. 1t
Is like filing a glass with water.
When it reaches the brim it's contain
ing power is exhausted. Favorites of
fortune who have no visible troubles
to depress them often suffer more
acutely from low spirits than those
who have actual cause for unhappi-
ness. A woman who has everything
that the world calls blessings-an i'm
mense fortune, beautiful children, an
indulgent husband, prominent social
position, and last, but by no means
least, good health-was found one day
by one Of her intimate friends shut up
in her room sobbing from depression
II feel so utterly discouraged" she
moaned Nothing goes right"
But what have you really to com
plain OFF, urged her more sensible
friend. 1T seems to me that you have
everything in the world to make you
happy"
Finally the insistence of the latter
ELECTED the following causes for her
misery: First, the cook who suited her
exactly insisted upon getting married.;
the new gown which she depended up
on FOR the Horse Show week fitted bad
ly and was not becoming: her husband
would not rent the house she wanted
in Newport for next season, and final
w she felt tired of everything, any
way" and could think of nothing that
would give her any pleasure.
Now the dependency Of this woman
was real enough, and the fact that her
woes were imaginary did not lessen
their effect: they undoubtedly made
her quite as unhappy as the discour-
agements under which a harassed,
careworn housemistress sometimes
(h,,t far more seldom than her for
tunate sister, succumbs.

Questioned in Regard to Phillips's s
 Death-Her Identity Withheld.
 New York, May 21.-Interest in the tragic death of Father Phillips of Ha- zleton has been revived by the bring ing to the West Forty seventh street police station of a woman with auburn hair, Stogt and somewhat short, who answered the description of the wo- man whom the police have been look ing for and who has been referred to as "Dr Stanley's wife, She was clos eted with Captain Donahue for over four hours. She was so heavily yelled that her features could not be seen. The police took extraordinary means to keep the identity of the woman se- cret. They even went to the extent of denying that she had anything to do with the case of Father Phillips.
 Late in the afternoon, however, As- sistant District Attorney Garvan, who has charge of the case for the district attorneys office, was sent for and talked with the mysterious woman for an hour and half. When he had fin ished the interview he said that the woman was the one Stanley had in troduced as his wife and that she might be held as a witness in the case, but that he would not say so positive ly. He also said: T am satisfied that this woman has nothing to do with the case. I shall not give her name because she comes from very re- spectable family. I want to shield her because believe in my heart that she had nothing to do with the case whatever. I questioned her closely, and am satisfied that she does not know anything about it"
 The woman left the station early this evening with an unkown man, and after she had gone Captain Don ahue was questioned regarding her identity.
 '+Is your visitor the woman you were looking for?" he was asked.
 Yes, she's the woman.''
 'Ts she Kirke Stanley's wife?''
 ''She never was his wife" said the captain, positively.
 What relation was she to him?''
 '.She simply called on him. But she cannot disclose anything She knows nothing that we want to know"
 Did she ever see Father Phillips in Stanley's rooms?" he was asked.
 ''She never saw the priest there.o
 "Who is the man with herY'
 Hes q relative, that's all can tell you." replied the captain. He abso- lutely refused to divulge the names of either the man or woman.

Roaf sus- tained bad wound in the head. If the explosion was part of plot to rob the bank, the plan failed as far as booty was concerned, for nothing of value was taken.
