Pennsylvania Soldier Who Boasts OF

Soldier Who Boasts OF
Twenfy-Three Children.
John G. Johnson, a veteran soldier Of
Philadelphia, has the distinction Of
having fought in sixty-fiye battles dur.
ing the Civil War and Of being the
father Of twenty three children He is
matchmaker by trade and still fol-
lows that vocation. His personality,
coupled with his record as a citizen and
soldier, have given him a notoriety
which is in inverse ratio to his size,
for Mr.. Johnson just gets inside the
minimum army regulations as to
height Those who know johnson ia
miliarly call him Johnnie, but through
out the neighborhood he is known as
Fighting Fit Johnson.
Mr. JOhnson's war record is unusual
and enviabIe. He has it on govern
ment paper nicely framed and hung In
his little back parIor, and he points out
among its memorable citations names
which bring up sad, brave memories Of
the greatest fighters the world has ever
known.
Mr.. Johnson went out at the first
ringing call for volunteers which Lin
coin made in April, 81. The Twenty

Mr.. Johnson's family record is just
as strong as his war honors. His de-
Ginning years find him surrounded by
a genial, happy family Of eleven, all
that now survive of a detachment of
twenty-three little JOhnsOns. 1t was

there was so much meaning in the tone
that Mrs. March looked up quickly with
suspicion in her glance. Eva frightened
considerably during the meal, for the
colonel surpassed himself and aston
ished Mrs. March by his sudden access
of youthful vigor and cheerfulness.
For two or three weeks the colonel
made a point of visiting the Hurst
daily, and Eva had a most enjoyable
time. for he took her for rides and
drives, to picnics and concerts, shows,
sports and races. Just at first Cecil
was too bad tempered to interfere, but
one day he met the colonel going up to
the house and noted with strong disap-
prevail his seniors faultless attire, his
springy step, curling mustaehe and gen
eral holiday air.
He hung about the house until he saw
Eva and the colonel appear in the gar
den and then concealed himself behind
a tree and watched.
Obviously the pair were lovers. All

recently set forth in the Observatory
by Miss Agnes M. Clerke, may be

Mr.. R. H. Yapp, an English natur-

mountain ranges of the Malay PENN

fact that in several species of bamboo
the hollow internodes-the parts of
the stems between the joints-are
stored with large quantities of nat
urally filtered water. The knowledge
of this fact might be of great service
in an emergency. Mr.. Yapp also dis

the ferns thus forming living nests for

RSCLENCE!
THE BABY,s FIRST SUMMER,


Fortunate is the city baby who is
born in September or October, for then
he will have but one summer to pass
through while his powers Of resistance
are very low. BY the end of the sec
ond year the child should have devel-
oped considerable strength of constitu-
ton, and ought, if properly cared for,
to triumph over many evil influences
to which the younger infant is very apt
to succumb.
The primary cause of infant mortal
ity in cities during midsummer is the
intense heat, and next comes, In the
case of bottle-fed children, the giving
of indigestible food or Of milk which
has begun to change. The baby's life,
in other words, depends upon his be-
ing kept cool and being properly fed.
These matters are of such import
ance that in most of u cities the
health boards issue each summer leaf
let's containing directions for the care
o: the baby, and distribute them
among all the tenement-house jewellers.
In these leaflets, mothers are
warned particularly to keep the baby
and all its surroundings absolutely
clean. The child should be sponged or
bathed once or twice every day in
lukewarm water, dried by wrapping in
a soft towel, and then put into clean,
dry clothes. The clothing should be
light and loose and changed often.
The baby should never sleep in the
clothes which it has worn during the
day, nor wear in the day those which
have been slept in at night. 1t should
sleep in a separate cot, and never
in the bed with it's mother. The sleep
ing-room should always be well aired
the windows being open day and night
During the day the baby should be
kept in the open air as much as pos.
sible, and a daily ride into the coun
try on a trolley car, or an excursion or
the water, if there is any large body
of it accessible, will do more, per
haps, thai anything else to keep thu
little one in health.
1t should never be forgotten that
baby needs water to drink, and plent!
of it, in hot weather. The waite
SHOULD be boiled, her poured into
bottle, half filling 1t, and well shaker
to restore the air lost in boiling. Thi
is then cooled, not iced, and given t
the baby in small quantities at fire
quent intervals through the day.
A nursing baby has an immense ad
vantage over one that is bottle-fed
and on nc account should weaving b
attempted just before Or during the he
weather. If artificial feeding is neces
sary, the physician should be con
suited as to the choice of a food, 70
among the many kinds on the marke
some are good and some are not.
A baby's diet will be considere
more fully in another article on tn
prevention of summer complaint.
