THE BABY'S LAYETTE.

Not such a very long time ago it
would have been almost impossible to
buy the necessary garments for an in
fant's outfit, but today there are many
shops which make speciality Of chill
dren's and infants clothing and all
their belongings, and there is scarcely
a department store that does not have
its infants department. This makes
the providing of large outfits unneces-
sary; in fact, the healthy baby grows
so rapidly that it is far better not to
start with too many clothes. The first
dresses are soon outgroWn. and the
kind of dresses needed for the second
set depends much upon the season.
For instance, the layette of a baby
born in the late spring or early sum-
mer months would naturally differ
somewhat from the autumn or winter
layette. For the former the following
is ample: Six dresses; six petticoats;
six flannel skirts; six shirts; three
flannel bands; four night-gowns; two
dozen diapers eighteen inches wide by
thirty-six inches long; four dozen dia-
pers twenty-five inches wide and for
ty-four inches long; four flannel or
cashmere sacques: four pairs of thin
cashmere or woollen stockings; four
pairs of bootees or moccasins; two
long wraps made of cashmere or light
flannel, and one or two soft null caps.

Cannot Compete With Newspapers.

The announcement in the current
number of well-established ten-cent
magazine that hereafter it was going
to drop, the Especial feature articles" !"
increase its price and devote itself to
fiction tand literature because the
monthly magazine could not compete
with the daily newspaper in publish
ing articles of news interest is radical
enough to attract attention. The ef-
fort to be timely in monthly publica-
tions sometimes leads them to antici-
pate the news as did some Of the Eng
lish publications in their accounts of
the coronation Of the King, which did
not come off as was planned. 1t is
said that one such publication which
had an elaborate account Of the coro-
nation, written in advance, had to de-
stroy an entire edition when the Kings
illness made a postponement Of the
ceremony necessary. The American
magazines found, despite their prepar-
ations, that there was very little left
for them in the Spanish-American War
after the newspapers had finished with
it. The fckleness of public interest in
news events is shown by the quickness
with which the reading public tired of
descriptions Of the eruption of Mont
:Pelee when once the story had been
told as it was told by the newspapers

Fish Act as Surgeons.

"Along the Caribbean Sea-" said an
artist who has recently returned from
those parts, ut is common thing to
see men and women and children sit
ting on the banks of streams, with
their bare legs soaking in the water.
"They have strange reason for
this strange conduct. They are much
troubled by a little insecta kind of
tiok-which buries itself in their flesh,
and is very hard to dislodge; and so,
when the ticks have gotten in them,
they go to the water bury the infected
parts beneath the surface and keep
quite still. The fish have fondness
for ticks, and they hasten to the
cleaning human flesh they see, and
pulling the ticks out, devour them.
I'm that manner the Caribs 1sh are
called upon to act as surgeons. Eli
cient and painless surgeons they make
too."- o."-Philadelphia Record.

The Chanqed Grizzly.

There are numerous reliable state
ments of grizzly bears having at
tackled men, but nowadays the griz-
zlv does not seek out his human vic
tins. as there are credible statements
that his forefathers used to do.
Neither does he lie in wait, and,
pouncing upon a hunter, tear him into
bloody shreds in delighted fendish-
ness. as the old-time stories used to-
tell The change in the grizzly's dis
position is likened by veteran hun
ters to the change in the character of
the white cousin of the grizzly, the
no!ar bear of the Arctics. When the
stations for the Hudson Bay Company
were established the diaries of the
men there often referred to the fright
of attacks by polar bears. Many a
navigator in the Arctic seas has been
clawed and chewed to death by polar
bears. But for nearly century the
polar bear has not been regarded rs
so very fierce, and nowadays it is look
cd UPON as cowardly beast. Associa-
tion with armed men has modified the
polar bears disposition.-Griz7(y

BEESWAX MINING.
Controversy Over Origin Of Deposits
Indian Leuends.


Mining for beeswax is an industry
confined to small stretch on the
Pacific coast, and it exists nowhere
else as far as can be ascertained.
About thirty miles South Of the mouth
of the Columbia river is Nehalem
bay and beach, and here is where the
beeswax miners are found. 1t is
hardly proper to. call the deposits
mines, for they are scattered along
the beach in an uncertain fashion
and are probably not of natures pro-
duction. The deposits are mined,
however, but in manner unlike any
other kind of mining. They resem-
BILE placer diggings more than any
other
The beeswax miner uses plow and
team of horses to work the alluvial
deposits at the mouth of the bay, and
sometimes goes at it with pick and
shovel. Occasionally some fine speci-
mems of the wax are found floating or
cast upon the sands of the beach.
How did the beeswax get there?
Authorities differ as to this. Samples
have been sent to men who claim
to be mineral experts, and they say
that it is probably ozocerite, otherwise
known as mineral wax or natural para
fine. The parafine made from pet
roleum products is not much different
from that produced from beesWax,
gives a similar odor when melting,
and it is easy to see that mistake
might be made. On the other hand,
beep wax experts insist that it is the
product of the bee, the characteristic
odor disappearing somewhat from long
exposure to the elements. When
found, the pieces have corroded ap-
pearance, like mineral ore, and the dis
coloration extends through the sub
stance to some extent. This might
be expected, for much of it has been
tossed about by the waves or has been
burned in the beach. sand for two or
three centuries.
The alluvial or made lands near the
entrance to the bay have trees stand
ing thereon which must be more than
a hundred years old, some being three
feet in diameter, and deposits of the
wax are found beneath the roots OF
these trees in many instances. At
present the sea is making threads on
the land and is cutting away the sup
port from quite tract of lowland
covered with forest, and large quaint
ties of the wax are brought to view.
The Nehalem river is a large stream,
carrying an immense amount of wa.
ter in the winter season, and is con-
stantly changing the country in the
region of the delta. Sometimes the
old channel is shut up and new one
is made into the sea. The large bar
at the mouth of the bay are shifting,
and as the changes take place, more
of the wax is unearthed, so. that
miners are not always obliged to de-
pend upon the shovel or plow.-1-os

a Seven Mile Tunnel.

The plan to bore a tunnel seven
miles long through the Sierra Nevada
Mountains at a cost of $4,000, 900, in
order to shorten by twelve hours the
trip over the Central Pacific, is an H.
lustration of the immense resources
of our great corporations and the won
derful wealth of our country as a
whole. Were it task proposed by
the national government ell sorts OF
complications would follow the intro
duction of the proposal into the realm
of political discussion, but board OF
directors intrusted with power by
thousands of stockholders can order 1t
done, and the work is at once under
way. Modern inventions make the
task less formidable than was the i've
mile cut through the Hoosac tunnel a
generation ago, and the loss from &C.
cident should also be much lighter.
The advantages gained by the rail-
road should be tremendous. Not the
least important will be the abolltlon
of it's forty-two miles of snow sheds
in the mountains. Boston Transcript:

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Hidden, guilt is the most hurtful.
Justice seeks those who will not
seek mercy.
Blank cartridges will often MAKE
the most noise.
Only the unworthy cause will use
unworthy means. %s
Every man reveals himself when he
describes another.
True humility bows lower rs pros
perity rises higher. ...
The temperature Of the heart cannot
be gagged by the head.
We are TOO altruistic over duties and
egotistic over rewards.
1t takes two to make quarrel, but
only one may make peace.
The only way to flee the vengeance
of sin is to fear its venom.
Selfshness is the cause of, sin and
sacrificing service its cure.

PHILANTHRoPIc EDITORS.
The Local Newspaper Considered as
benevolent Institution.


It seems singular that many persons
tHlertan the idea that newspapers are
1.iinted entirely for philanthropic mo-
tlves, says the Cambridge (Mass.)
Times, and that their columns should
be devoted to their especial benefit.
There is a class who think that ad-
vertising is inserted more to fill up
space, and they consider that the pub
Usher of local paper should be CRATE
full for the church notices they con-
tribute.
In nine cases out Of ten the notices
which these benign brothers and Sis
ters send are really nothing more nor
less than advertising matter, for which
they ask publication without cost,
while they at the same time derive
revenue by this method of reaching
the people.
They enter a newspaper office and
place their notices Of church fairs,
festivals and other entertainments on
the editors table with as much grace
as though they were rendering
twenty-dollar bill.
The up-to-date local paper employs
a staff of men to collect news which
will be of interest to all classes. These
men are hustlers, know their business
thoroughly, and present the news in
the most concise and condensed form
possible.
Instead Of the publisher being de-
pendent on personal or communicated
matter to fill his columns, he is fire.
quently at his wits ends as to how lie
shall contrive to find space for legiti-
mate local news. He is obliged to Gull
material furnished by his newsgath-
erers and present to the public what
will be for the greatest interest of all.
But it is not the news which sup
ports the newspaper, and the actual
returns from sales are but poor re-
muneration for the time and patience
devoted to it. Therefore the revenue
received which sustains the plant is
derived through its advertising pa
tronage.
The publisher sells the space in his
paper just as a merchant would dis
pose of his wares. and reading notices
are received at higher rate than dis
play advertising, there being no bar
gain days in a newspaper office.
We know of no profession where
there is so much liberality shown as in
the newspaper business, and so little
appreciated by those who receive gra-
tuitcus favors through its columns

days after an ascent. Two such as

If one really loves his friends, he will
seek opportunities to serve them for
loves sweet sake, and his highest sat
isfaction will be to prove himself really
useful and helpful to them. But to
love ones friends is not enough. Surely
it must be right to give our hearts
best to these, but there are the unlove
ly and the unfriendly, the lonely and
desolate, who are really starving,
though they may not know it, for the
sunshine of some ones compassion,
some ones pitying love- What right
have we, who are so rich in friends, to
deny them this solace? The Christian
name is not ours if we are satisfied to
love those who love us, to serve those
who minister to US. Selfishness is our
master, and not the Saviour, who has
loved us with perfect love, and whom
We have promised to love and serve
