SLAUGHTER OF THE 1NNocENrs
Dangers Which Bottle-Fed Babies
Have to Pass-Microbes in Milk.

From the New York Mail and Express
There is small insurrection of old
fashioned divines. teachers. statesmen and
doctors, it seems, against the spirit of the
times. DIR. Eliot points out how far the
average American college graduate has
fallen away from the old standards in
his family life, and DIR. Van Dyke en-
forces the lesson with his baccaIaureate
sermon-in praise of the old-fashioned fire.
SIDE The Presidents advocacy of the same
domestic notions is well known. The in
fiuence of Yale has generally been on tho
conservative side, and it is therefore not
surprising to find an emeritus professor of
the Yale Medical School, DR.. g. A. Lnds-
ley, rebuking the women of Connecticut
for abandoning their offspring to cholera
infantum and other diseases of the stom-
ach by condemning them to the unhappy
category of bottle-fed babies, and exhort-
ing the mothers TO adopt the more natural
course.
A mother who condemns her child to
a bottle diet takes a grave risk. the con-
sequences of which may or should, IL they
fatal, some time rest heavily on her
conscience. Extremely few women possess
a sufficient amount of scientific knowledge
to fit them to superintend baby's arti-
fetal diet 1t is something concerning
which no mistake should be made at any
time. AS everybody who lives in this
generation knows, the microbe turks at
every step. The milk. the water with
which it is diluted, the bottle in which it
is put, the water in which the bottle is
washed must be steriliZed. But IL i'm the
sterilizing process the benefcent bacteria
are killed, disease follows the killing. The
harmless bottle of milk is probably
rarity. But nature is brave and makes her
best blur in a baby's case; she helps
him to endure a great deal
when the baby is few weeks old
often she begins 1t when he is few days
old-the mother is very likely to replace
cows milk with one of the numerous pre-
pared foods. Some of these are very good
for some babies. But one little mans
meat is another's poison. What nourishes
one may kill another. The doctor might
advise. but perhaps the mother doesn't
believe in doctors" Frequently 1T turns
out that she does believe in making her
baby sick.
Any infant in whose case there Is a
resort to artificial nourishment leads
very precarious existence. Even careless
women are coming to realize this. Per-
haps this is one of the reasons why Ameri-
can families grow so small. Assuming an
essential abandonment on the part Of
whole generation of women of the founda-
ton principles of domestic life on which
their mothers acted, 1t is evident that
willingness would naturally follow to leave
to German, Italian. Slavic and Hebrew
mothers the work Of providing the republic
with it's future citizens and defenders.

Pianos the Flood Ruined.

From the Kansas City Journal
A reporter at Topeka finds that 312 pianos
were destroyed in the North Topeka flood
If these instruments had an average value
of $500 the total would amount to sos. 600
One thing is certain. not a single piano
which passed through the flood will ever be
used again. Pianos are commonly regarded
as of strong and substantial construction
To look at those which passed through the
Topeka flood one would conclude that they
were as fragile as house of cards. Their
woodwork is swelled. bulged and split
Their veneering has peeled OF like paper
from a wet wall. Their Intervals are warp
ed and twisted out of all semblance to an
orderly machine. They have been thrown
out in the streets. without an exception,
to be hauled away with other rubbish

Niagara Of New Zealand.

From the London Chronicle.
The Huka Falls-the Niagara of Maori
land-which the New Zealand government
has an idea of turning to account for the
generation Of electric power. are on one of
the head reaches of the Waikato river, q
few miles from where the great stream
flows out of Lake Taupo The position
thereabout is peculiar one. Lake Taupo
lies very high above sea level and the
Wafkato has its beginning through mar
row chasm in the rocky wall of the lake.
Flowing out through this passage the enor-
nous mass OF water Is whirled at last over
the huge precipice at Huka, and the falls
form one of the grandest sights in New
Zealand. On the report OF an expert the
wellington government expects to get cleo
trio power enough from the Huka Falls to
supply the whole Of the north island for all
purposes.

Miss Elizabeth Blagg, familiarly

Although her mind had been
somewhat impaired for a year or
two prior to her death, yet she en-
| joyed good health, and was able to
walk about, until the fatal stroke
came. two days before hef death.
Ten days, before, having walked to
and from Mr. S } Blagg, distance
of nearly half mile. to whom she
talked freely Of her conversion,

about her burial, not realizing,
though, that the end was so near
She expressed a desire, once more,
to attend church, where. until
later years, she was q regular at
tendant, and arrangements were
made for her to attend quarterly
meeting services, last Friday, but
God willed otherwise, and on that
day, her mortal remains were laid
to rest, while her spirit was rejoic-
