HARMFUL TO CHILDREN.
why q Reaction Has Set in Against the
Sensational Newspaper.


In an editorial on 1.-THE New Pace
for Children" the editor of the Cen
tury deplores the effect on childish
minds Of the too early reading of
newspapers, especially those that are
run for revenue only.
1t is q deplorable fact that of late
years, for lack of support, a number
Of excellent magazines for children
have been discontinued-in the latest
instance with the frank statement that
the vogue of the newspaper had short
ened the term of childhood SO greatly
as to make it impossible to sustain
such q magazine, the proprietors say
ing, in effect, that boys and girls, in
the old sense of an audience for juven-
lie periodical literature, exists no long
er. The fault, perhaps, is not with the
child, nor with the editor but with the
busy parent Of these latter years; for
the newspaper-reading child is the pro-
duct of the last decade. The boy of
ten or twelve, at the age when he
ought to be acquiring a taste for good
literature, is too often left to the ephe-
neral contents Of the illustrated news
paper Even when the newspaper is a
good one he is being startled from the
repose of his proper age. He is made
a man before his time. He is allowed
to share the rapid pace at which mod
ern life is set. Not for him should be
the heavy and the weary weight
OF all this unintelligible world.
And if the newspaper be conducted
without conscience his mind becomes
the breeding-ground Of false ideals
infested by the microbes of envy, So
cial discomfort, ambitious greed, scan
dal, desire for luxury, and disbelief in
virtue. If he be child Of the tene-
ment, with little other reading, is it
any wonder that he should grow up
into the criminal classes? And yet
such newspapers are tolerated in the
houses Of decent and intelligent peo-
pie!
The death of President Mckinley
has set people to thinking as to the in
sidious influences that may have oper-
ated on the mind Of the Wretched and
pitiable assassin, little more than
perverted boy, and, as consequence,
healthy reaction has set against the
sensational newspaper. 1t will be well
if this shall extend to all newspapers
of the class. But it will be best If the
country can be aroused to substitute
for them decent newspapers, maga-
zines and books, and particularly to
study carefully the kind of reading
which goes to the formation Of the
character of children.

BIGGEST RANCH IN TEXAS.
Includes Half Dozen Counties.
About Three Million Acres.

The "X, I, T." In the Panhandle is
the greatest ranch in Texas, embrac-
ing half a dozen counties and contain
ing nearly 100000 acres. The
ranch is divided into seven sections,
each managed by foreman, and con-
nected with the headquarters by
means Of telephones. The whole is
run with the system and dispatch
which characterizes all great indus
tries. On this ranch now run con-
siderably more than 100000 head of
cattle, and an idea Of the size may be
gained from the fact that the pasture
fence extends 210 miles in one di-
rection and 25 in another, making a
total of about 5000 square miles.
From time to time small parcels of
the land have been sold, and mean
while valuations have appreciated
from so cents an acre to four times
that amount.

ORIGIN OF THE RED CROSS.
Henri Dunant, After Battle of Sol
ferino, Creates Ambulance Corps.

rerino, creates Ambulance Corps.
Henri Dunant. to whom has just
been awarded one of the Nobel prizes
In France, is the founder of the Red
Cross Society of Geneva. After the
battle of Solferino he created an am
bulance corps and hospital staff in
the midst of all the horrors of the
field of battle. His task was facili-
tated by the accounts that came to
Europe of the Civil war in the United
States. He met with encouragement
rather from the rega. caste than from
the ministerial and diplomatic classes,
who thought him a bore. But the
world valued his work. Dunant spent
his fortune on Red Cross organiza-
tions: 1t is strange that Nobel should
enable Dunant to spend his old age
In comfort. They both hated war. but
Nobel exercised his inventive genius
In trying to prevent it by multiplying
the powers of destruction on the field
of battle. while Dunant only thought
Of softening them. Five years ago
M. Henri Dunant fell i'll, and, as he
had spent his fortune, had to go, like
any poor man, to a hospital. A sub
scription was set on foot for his re-
lief. The name of the Empress of
Russia figured at the head of the list

Demand for Rolling Stock.

During the present year the South
ern Pacific has secured 103 locomo-
tives and 5000 freight cars, but owing
to the increase in freight traffic, caus-
ed largely by the development of the
Texas oil field, it will require consid-
erable additional rolling stock, and
according to Vice President Krutt-
schnitt, has decided to purchase rs
additional locomotives and more tank
cars. Contracts have been let for 500
of the tank cars.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1902-03-03

1t seems that the subject of setting
apart separate cars for patients is be-
ing agitated also in France. A move
has been set on foot to submit q petit
tion to the French Government for
legislation requiring railways to supply
separate coaches for children suffering
from whooping cough. To effect a
cure of this disease it is considered
necessary to have n change of climate
and there is much travel among chill
dren SO affected. AS the disease is
contagious the public feel that such
cases should be isolated by the use
Of separate coaches.-Rallway Gazette.

How to Tell Your sweetheart's Age.


Men and women, the former before
they are twenty-one and after they are
fifty, and the latter at all times are
averse to telling their ages. Now here
is a little scheme by which you may
find out any ones age II you go about
1t in the right manner. Ask the per-
son if he Cr she can do simple arith-
metical problem; Of course the answer
will be yes. Then give him or her a
paper and pencil and proceed. Tell the
person to think Of a number cores
ponding to the numerical order of the
month in which he or she was born.
Then to multiply that figure by two,
then add five and multiply the produce
by fifty; then add his or her own age.
From the total thus obtained order that
$3.50 be subtracted and 115 then added.
Now obtain the answer, and the first
figure tells you the month in which
yoCr sweetheart was born, and the
other figures indicate his or her age.
For instance, suppose the person to
be born in August, and the age to be
twenty-nine. She thinks (as per the
above instructions) of number eight,
multiplies that by two, which makes
it sixteen; adds five, which makes it
twenty-one; mCltiplies twenty-one by
fifty, and obtains 1850; add twenty
nine (her own age), and gets 1919. She
now subtracts 365 and has ia, to
which she adds 115 and obtains 800.
The first figure eight indicating the
eighth month or August and twenty
nine indicating her years. Simple and
clever, isn't it?-Anerican Queen.
