Children should be taught to be reg
uiar at their meals and to take nothing
between meals. This rule applies to
infants as we'll as to older children.
The practice Of feeding the little one
every time it cries is most serious in
jury to its weak digestive organs. An
infants stomach. though it needs food
at more frequent jntervals-two to four
hours. according to its age-requires
the same regularity which is essential
to the maintenance of healthy diges-
ton in older persons. The irregularity
usually practiced is undoubtedly one
of the greatest causes of the fearful
mortality Of infants from disorders Of
the digestive organs, as appears in our

limb, I fnd"that each tree presents a
separate and distinct problem-no two
trees grow alike. The Jonathans as a
whole are the most spreading in habit,
but each of the ten Jonathan trees diff
fers widely from it's fellows, so no two
can be treated the same at the first
pruning.
What can be done? The grower
should bear constantly in mind during
the first year of his orchard the shape
of the tree is determined and all the
subsequent growth emphasizes the
work of the first season. So the first
pruning Of all must have for its pur-
pose the removal of limbs that are
growing in the wrong place, and the
encouragement Of shoots where they
are needed to give symmetry to the
tree. The removal is easily accom-
plished by cutting out with a pocket
knife, leaving not the least stump be-
hind. New shoots will be made to start
from dormant buds if the more vigor-
Gus growths are pinched at their ends;
indeed the very best pruning machines
ever made are the thumb and fingers,
when judiciously used.
In this first pruning see that
branches retained have a good strong
union with the main stem, avoiding
forks, and also that they are well
spaced along the stem rather than
grouped closely together. prefer an
apple tree with center ste m from root
to top bud, and hence in the first prun-
ing endeavor to make the topmost
shoot = leader. But many very sue.
cessful growers train their trees to
open heads from the first. Both sys-
tems are good il we'll cared for, and nc
system of pruning is good If it is n OF

SEARCH FOR TIE TILE FISH,
EGorts OF Government Agents e
locate the Much-Wanted
Species.

Tho United States fish commission
is about to make an effort to determine
as precisely as possible the area of sea
bottom occupied by the tilefsh-that
strange and interesting finny species
which was first discovered in 1870, only
to be rendered almost extinct soon aft
erward by q marine cataclysm wholly
unprecedented, says the Saturday
Evening Post.
The fish commission thinks that an
important and lucrative fishery for
the tilefish may be created, when once
the fishermen are informed at to where
they should go TO look for the species,
which is excellently adapted for the
table. Hitherto 1t has remained al
most unknown simply because its home
is in the depths. There is reason to be-
heve that 1t has again become very
numerous, and c, reference to the his
tory of the famous catastrophe OF 1882
shows that in March and April Of that
year 1880 square miles Of ocean were
found profussly sprinklsd with tile
fish, the number being estimated at one
thousand mllions.
The eastern edge Of the North Amer.
lean continent is overhowed by the sea,
and that 10 why the water near the
coast Is 20 shsllow. To find the true
edge of the great continental land masS
one would have to travel about so
miles due eastward from New York.
There begins . sudden descent to the
true floor Of the ocean, which Is IA
miles deep. A narrow belt OF this de-
clivity, running north and south, is
bathed by the warm waters of the
Gulf Stream, and here is found the tile
fish. The catastrophe above men
toned, which 20 nearly wiped out the
entire species, was undoubtedly due
to an invasion of the belt by the arctic
current.

FLIRTS WITH WAX WOMEN.
CattIemaA from Wyoming Throws
kisses to Figures I'm store
Windows.

A yeraGious policeman on beat that
takes in the swell department stores OF
State street tells queer story OF q
cattlemaA from the plains of Wyom-
ing, says the Chicago Chronicle. Ac'
cording to the officers story the ranch
man fairly fell head and ears in love
with one wax figure of beautiful fe-
male in a prominent show window OF
Chicago's great shopping thorough
fare.
when / first saw the cowboy throw
ing kisses at the pretty woman of wax, "
said the policeman, II at first thought
he must be drunk or crazy. But he was
neither. The real truth was that he
had never in his life before seen a
dummy figure Of woman Of the per-
feet type then standing before him in
the glare Of the show lights at night,
and his explanation was that before
herealized the exquisitely attired grand
dame was nothing but cold and life
less figure he found himself throwing
kisses at her In pure gallantry and ex-
uberance of spirit.

started to take him in tow as posi-
bly, dangerous lunatic. However, be-
fore I reached the patrol box with him
concluded that although he may
have been imbibing freely while seeing
the town, he was in no way affected in
his upper story. SO turned him loose
with a warning that he would frighten
people badly and get locked up should
he renew his ardent and demonstrativs

It could be expected, in the natural or

DOGS SUFFER FROM WORRY.
MANY Cases of Nervous ProstratiOn
Reported a. Result of Grand
Army Reunion.

The grand army reunion AN tn
Labor day parade have left some SAL
remembrance along Michigan avenue
in the form Of 6 regular epidemic OF
canine nervous prostration, says the
Chicago Tribune. The pet and toy
dogs which have bsen lording it over
the common kind along the Lake
Front park are now many of them
under the care OF veterinary surgeons
for most aggravated cases of snap
pishness and nerves. Following upon
the excitement and crowds of the re.
union and parade came the hot spell,
ard then the dogs betrayed symp-
toms which were feared by many to
be hydrophobis. Their usually kind
aud placid dispositions were decidedly
soured and they became really dan
gerous.
At one time three pet dogs from one
block were under the care of the doc
tors, with their feminine owners
weeping nearby and begging their
lives be spared. Had they been ordi'
nary, plain dogs their deaths would
have been decreed forthwith.
The veterinary in charge said tai
he had had at least dozen cases o.
the kind in the space of q few days
and found that in every instance the
patients were suffering from overex
cirement, overlooking and heat.

the meteorological one. The air OF
high attitudes contains no microbes,
and is. in fact, sterile. while near the
ground and some 100 feet above it mo-
crobes are abundant.
In the air of Chicago and other
crowded places, says the Chronicle.
not only does the microbe i'm
purity increase. but other impurities,
such as the poducts OF combustion of
coal. accrue also. Several inyestiga-
tors have found traces of hydrogen and
certain hydrocarbons in the air, and
especially in the air of pine. oak and
birch forests. IT is to these bodies,
doubtless consisting of traces of es-
sential oils, to which the curative eff
fects of certain health resorts are
ascribed. Thus the locality of a fir
forest is said to give relief in diseases
of the respiratory tract. But all the
same, these tracts of essential oils and
aromatic products must be counted,
strictly speaking, as impurities, since
they are not apparently necessary con-
stituents of the air. AS recent analy-
ses have shown. these bodies tend
to disappear in the air as higher al
titude is reached, until they disappear
altogether.

UNFAIR TO BANGOR.
The Revenge of Maine Market~eA
Who Were Prevented from
Shipping Game.

Almost every town in Maine OF 1000
or more inhabitants has from one to
ten markets where venison is retalled
all through the open season. Here IN
the very heart of the game region
where from Is to 30 tons of venlson pass
west every day in the week, no man can
buy venison at any price, and men wh'
want the meat of deer must ride far out
on the road to Amherst or Ellsworth
and run the chance of meeting hunter
who is bringing a carcass to market,
SAYS the New York Sun.
The famine came about through a
fit of temper of the marketmen, VINO
are angry because the new law VIII
not permit them to ship game and game
birds out of the state. Previous to 1875
from 100 to $50 cartridges were sent
west from Bangor every day. Market
men had from ten to twenty gunners
constantly in their employ shooting
cartridges, snipe and woodcock for
Boston and New York markets, where
birds commanded fancy prices. AS
soon as the law prohibiting the sale OF
game birds was enacted, the market
men agreed to handle no game OF any
kind, and the embargo has been rigid
ly enforced.
Last year Fred Johnson, who is the
Deimonico of Bangor, took out
license to sell venison to such OF his
customers as wanted deermeat on
their tables at home, but the market
men refused to patronize his place
and did all they could to injure hi'
trade. This year he found that they
were doing him more harm than thu
profits on sales were doing good, an<
when it came to take out licenses fo1
1900 he did not ask for a renewal
Meantime Portland, Augusta, Rock
land and other Maine cities that have
no deer within so miles of their limits
are having all the deer meat they cal
eat, and are getting it cheaper than tn
price asked for beef.

LILLIAN RUSSELL A CONVERT.
Announcss to Her Friends That She
Has Become a Faith Curist
After Much study.

After long and diligent study OF
the religion Lillian Russell has an
nounoed to her friends that she is an
out-and-out faith curist. She does not
subscribe to the doctrines OF Mrs.
Eddy, of the Christian Science cult,
in their entirety, but 80 strongly Is
she convinced of the power of the mind
over the tendency of the body to be-
come disorderly that she is almost
hoping for a severe attack OF illness
in order that she may give the the
DRY a test.
At the outset it may be said that
Miss Russell has never been seriously
i'll in her life and that her health at
the present time is 80 good that she
il almost ashamed of herself. 1t is
hard, indeed, for a woman to work as
many as two hours day on a hot,
stuffy stage and be unable to produce
a single pain. Even on days when
there Is a matinee Miss Russell retains
her scandalous freedom from bodily
aches and pains.
az have noticed, however" she salo
the other day, that when 1 get head
aches I am able to get rid of them
by simply concentrating my MIND on
the proposition that 1 have no head
ache.
"Of course don't believe that could
wish myself a new arm should 1 have
one cut off by Broadway car. nor do
I believe that my mind would be strong
enough to equip me with new lung
should 1 fall a victim to the ravages
of consumption. I do not go to those
lengths. But 1 do say that we are too
prone to drug ourselves and that the
mind is in such supreme control that
the ordinary ills of life can be cured
by thought concentration.
"This is not a new belief with me"
continued Miss Russell. 81 have had
as much trouble as any woman, but l
have found, all through my life, that
by persistently concentrating my mind
on the bright side Of a dark situation
that every cloud has its silver lining.
you know-I have been able to live
quite placidly. If women could only
be brought to the realization of the
power of the mind we would have more
healthy and happy members of our
sex"
Mise Russell is not the only advocate
OF the faith cure in the profession
Many actresses go to greater lengths
in their advocacy of the cult than the
prima donna. But it Is news at this
time that this beautiful woman, with
everything that female heart could
deside at her disposal, should come
out in advocacy of the theory of the
superiority of the mind over matter.

IS THE GIRAFFE GOING?
The LOnS-Necked Animal Seems to
BE Following the North
American Bison.

Cosmopolitan sportsmen who have
hunted in the different countries of
the world agree that the giraffe is one
of the most highly priced game ami
mails of the world. 1t is generally be-
lieved, though, that this animal is al
most extinct. Once it was quite album
dant in South Africa, but it was ruth
lessly slaughtered by the native hunt
ers there until 1t has become . rare
animal there. ..- ...-.
A writer to the Field, Of London, as
serts that giraffe are still to be found
in considerable numbers In Angola,
Portuguese West Africa, and that 1t ia
likely to be many years before these
splendid animals are exterminated.
The giraffe il known to the Angola
natives as ondue. Its range does not
extend in this region beyond the fif-
teenth degree of south latitude.
1t is hoped that these animals may
be preserved In their native lair. II
would be a grand work for the inter
national organization for the preser-
vation of African big game which was
recently formed to exert itself for the
preservation of this animal.

that this church should belong to no

IT SHOWED IT'S QUALITY.
Mr. HuntingtOn's Switch Engine DIG
Not DisappOint Him In
It's Power.

Some II years ago, when Coils Z
Huntington was president of '.s
Chesapeake G. Ohio Railroad company
j. X. Murray, of the vice presidents
staff. with Capt. Rogers, a California
railroad official, was with him on his
private car Capt. Rogers had been OF
fered the general managership OF the
road by Mr.. Huntington, and he was
going over the line. The train stopped
and switching engine was attached
to the end Of Mr.. Huntington's car t.
pull it out.
At that moment, relates a Chicago
exchange, the party on the car was
breakfasting, and Mr.. Huntington was
seated at the table nearest the door
deftly carving a steak. The switch
ing engine had been coupled to the
other end of the car and started off
and It happened that the brakeman
forgot to uncouple the bell rope be-
tween the car and the rest of the train
so. as the switching engine pulled the
private car away from the train, the
rope stood the strain until it became
taut and then broke with a rebound
that sent one end with terrific force
into Mr.. Huntington's car.
The flying rope with its metal end
grazed Mr.. Huntington's head and
shattered the meat platter in front OF
him. He quietly began 20 pick up the
fragments, and Capt. Rogers re
marked: THAT was a narrow escape

unchanged, replied: II don't know

LONGEVITY OF VARIOUS RACES
Al Twenty the Americans Expecta-
ton of Life IL Longer Than
Other NatiOnalitiea.

1t has often been remarked that
while nothing is so uncertain as the
duration of any given human life,
nothing is more certain than the ag'
gregate of years which may be as
signed to a group of 100 persons or
more at any particular age. The ex'
pectation of life at given age, 70
use the actuarial phrase, differs con-
siderably, as might be expected In
different countries, and Englishmen
NAV be surprised to learn that they are
not the longest lived among the white
races. At the age of 20, says the Lon
don Globe, an Englishman in average
health may expect to live AZ years
and any life office will grant him pol
icy based on that probability. The
Americans expectation is for slight
ly longer period. On the other hand
a German lad of 20 can count upon III
tie more than 1914 years. 1t would
seem, therefore, that the restlessnes'
attributed to the American tempera
ment does not necessarily conduce u
the shortening of life, nor the comPo
sure of the German to its prolonga
ton. Possibly the better feeding ant
clothing of Americans in the lower
classes of the population is the princi
pal cause of their greater longevity
Their position is, at any rate, main
tanned in later as well as in earliel
years. The American who has reached
60 may look to complete IA years more
while the Britisher's expectation
only about 10 years and ten months
and the Germans as nearly as possible
70 months less. Both at 20 and o
the Frenchman's prospect is a lttI
better than the Germans and httl
worse than the Englishman'S.
