in comparison with the total deaths
proportion of 3s.S per cent.
In general the deaths OF infants and
young children averaged half under

the group of communicable diseases
scarlet fever, diphtheria and measles.
OF this group of three diseases in one
year New York had death showing
of 10000 children, while i5.5 per cent
of its total death rate was of children

Antitoxin as applied in cases of
diphtheria has been one of the great

club appears to be well financed. and
If the attendance at the preliminary
exhibition games around the circuit is
a criterion. every one of the old clubs
is quite likely to exceed Its last sea

President Sexton takes an optimis-
tic view of the situation. He has been

poets in each city. Mr.. Sexton is sat
isfed-and this feeling is shared by
the six clubs that have been in the
league since II was organized-that
the admission of Joliet and Dubuque
will be highly beneficial, and II is con-
fidenuy expected the two new mem
bers will show quite as strong in
home patronage as did Terre Haute
and Evansville. whom they succeeded.
The teams have all had practically
the same period of preliminary train
ing. and while there have been so
many changes in the makeup of each
as to render prediction as to their
strength uncertain. they appear to be
more evenly matched than last year.

SCIENCE HAS DONE MUCH
TO PRESERVE THE BABES
Their Chances Of Longevity Now Infinitely Greater
Than They Have Ever Reen-Many Causes That Have
Contributes This Very Desirable Rcsu.t

Born in the year 1903" is a phrase
promising more significance to the
obituaries of the future than such a
phrase ever before meant to human
ity. For the babe born in this year
of grace has three times the chance
that a baby ever before had for reach
ing its first year, and it has five times
the chance of passing its fifth year OF
life. Why? In the first place. in
spite of all that grandma may indicate
to the contrary, the mother of to-day
knows more about children than moth
ers ever knew before; in the second
place, the doctors know more than
they ever did; and. in general. there
is a more earnest attempt at child
saving than ever before in the history
of the world.
Among the most sanguine of grand
mothers thirty years ago the great
fear audibly expressed was that Jane
will never raise that child" One
hundred years ago in the workhouses
of Great Britain there were twenty
three deaths of children under one
year old to every twenty-four births

Twenty-Five years ago statistics in the
United States and in Great Britain
showed that onefourth of the total
number of deaths were of children in
their first year, while Gross shows
that in the cities of Europe in 1893
the death rate was far out of the pro
portion which might be expected of
the advance in pathology and santa
ton.

made of the comparative mortality of

The openlna Of the Season.

No more positive demonstration of
the glorious uncertainties of the grand
old national game can be had than is
furnished by the developments in both
the American and National leagues
so far this season. Here is the spec
tacle Of Cleveland and Cincinnati. two
teams which were almost universally
touted as pennant winners. starting
of at the tail end of their respective
races, while Chicago and Detroit.
which were counted out OF the Ameri-
can league race altogether. and Pitts
burg, which was presumed TO be too
seriously weakened to make n winning
fight In the old league. got the jump
and started of like Derby candidates

But there is no other lesson than
the aforesaid uncertainty to be drawn
from this state Of affairs. There is no
certainty. fer instance, that Cleveland
and Cincinnati will net give Ohio q
chance TO boast of two pennant win.
nsrs, as Pennsylvania Is doing. nor
that Chicago and Pittsburg. or any
other old clubs. will not adorn the
last place when the day OF the serc
and yellow leaf comes, Estimates
based on the showings made so far
this season are as foolhardy as those
of midwinter.
II is true. results show that the fans
and scribcs of the Ohio cities, aided
and abetted by lots of others. have
probably overestimated the strength
OF the two teams OF stars which repre-.
sent Cincinnati and Cleveland, and
that the same people have overesti.
mated the weakening process to which
Pittsburg ana Chicago were subjected
by the fortunes OF war. but the luck Of
the game Is too great to make possible
any conclusions based on the first
week of any baseball campaign. II is
this element OF luck. which gives every
team a chance and every fan n hope
for many weeks of the year. that
makes the game what Il is--the great.

Taking longevity as one of the de
sirable things OF life. the parent of the

some of the physical indications Of
this longevity. An authority has at

Before these. however. he seneralizes

must be neither too long nor too short;

ELIAS Howe's LUCKY DREAM.
How Inventor Found Point Which Had

before he discovered where the eye of
the needle should be placed. 1t never

Gated near the point. and he might
have failed altogether had it not been
for remarkable dream.
One night he dreamed that he WAS
making a sewing machine for a savage
king in strange country. As in his
actual waking experience. he was
rather perplexed about the needles
eye. He thought the king gave him
twenty-five hours in which to com
plete machine, and if not finished
in that time, death was to be the pun
ishment.-
Howe worked and worked. and puz-
zied and puzzled. and finally gave it
up. Then he thought that he was
taken out to be beheaded On his way
to execution he noticed that the war
riors carried spears that were pierced
near the head Instantly came the
solution of the difficulty. and while
the inventor was begging for time he
awoke.
