Condition of Cotton
Further deterioration in the condition Of
cotton is very generally reported through
out the cotton belt. Shedding and rust are
extensive. and quite general complaints of
premature opening are received from the
central and eastern districts. The greater
part of the cotton belt is now suffering
from drought. and boil worms are destruc-

Complaints Of premature dropping Of ap-

for this fruit Is not improved, although in
some districts a good yield is promised, the
most favorable reports being received from

Summary Of Statements to the Weather
Bureau.

The weather bureaus weekly summary
of crop conditions Is as follows:
The week ending September IA was ex-
cessively wet in the Missouri and upper
Mississippi valleys and upper lake region.
while drought conditions over the greater
part of the southern states and Ohio valley
have become more serious. The tempera-
ture conditions in the central valleys and
Atlantic coast districts were highly favor
able. but abnormally cool weather prevailed
in the central and northern Rocky noun
tain districts and upper Missouri valley.
where thermometer readings ranging from
9 degrees to degrees below freezing were
recorded on the 18th and 14th, with frosts.
more or less damaging Damaging frosts
also occurred in the northern portions of
New York and New England. The tropical
hurricane which crossed the lower Florida
peninsula on the 11th and 18th was accom-
paS,ied by torrential rains and winds of de-
structiye violence. In California the condt-
tons were favorable, but cool, wet weather
IN Washington and Oregon delayed work
and caused some injury to grain unstacked
and in shock.
Corn Makes Good Progress.
Except in Iowa, northern Missouri and
eastern Nebraska where excessive moisture
has prevented rapid ripening. the corn crop
has made satisfactory progress. the bulk of
the early planted over the southern portion
of the belt being practically safe from
frost. In Iowa. northern Missouri and east
ern Nebraska the advance has been slow,
and the bulk of the crop over the northern
portion of the corn belt will require from
two to three weeks of ripening weather.
The northwest portion of the corn belt
has been threatened with damage from re-
cent cold. the freezing temperatures occur
ring in the northern Rocky mountain dis
tricts having extended as far eastward as
the western portions of the Dakotas and
northwest Nebraska on the 14th and 18th,
but with the exception of the Dakotas, no
serious injury has resulted. and the atmos-
pheric conditions now indicate that the
lowest temperatures of the present cold
spell in the extreme northwest have been
reached. The temperatures will, however.
continue low In Kansas. Nebraska, eastern
Colorado. Wyoming and in the states of the
upper Missouri valley Tuesday night. and
will rise slightly Wednesday night, but in

Infants Suffocated.
From the Boston Journal.

the Boston JOurnal
Ten deaths of infants have been reported
In and around Boston during the last few
weeks, caused by suffocation in bed An
investigation reveals the fact that the habit
Of putting a child to sleep between two
grown persons prevails to a large extent
here. DR.. Samuel E. Durgan, chairman of
the Boston board of health, was asked for
his view of the matter.
1.-THE custom of allowing an infant to
sleep between its father and mother I con-
slider thoroughly pernicious." he said. "Of
late I have had the matter of suspicious
deaths Of small children brought to my at
tention several times, caused, 1 believe, by
the almost criminal negligence of the par
ents. A baby is absolutely helpless. and II
placed between It's father and mother is apt
to get under the bed clothing and be
smothered. The use of a, crib, of course, is
Of comparatively recent date, but I be-
lieve health officers should give this mat
ter some attention"
Medical Examiner Swan of Cambridge
said he had seen cases of this description
a short time ago, and thought the practice
could not be condemned too severely. some
people cannot afford cribs for their babies,
but that is a poor excuse for placing them
where they are likely to be harmed. Even
a bed made up on the floor is far better for
the child than dying between grown peo-
pie. OF course, a position in bed like that
keeps baby warm, but even that kind of
warmth is not a healthy kind. 1t is very
bad practice, in my opinion"

NEPTUNIC NICK KNACKS.

Entering the little shop, the eye was
caught by a tangle of fishnets and shells,
which covered the walls; old sails, looped
up with the aid of shell draperies, curtained
off the owner in tiny workshop; emerging
therefrom to show his wares, he proved to
be the first mate. News and bits of gossip
were exchanged:

Baptismal Fonts Were Dry.

From the London Chronicle.
Some curious results OF the devastating
Australian drought have been witnessed on
the Ballarat gold field. The quantity of
water in the local reservoirs sank so low
that the authorities had to conserve 1t to
the utmost and give the city only an inter-
mittent supply In the principal Baptist
Church ceremony had to be abandoned,
sufficient supply of water for baptismal
immersion not being available. Next to
this Baptist Church is the Catholic cathe-
dral, and there the organ was unplayable
for three Sundays, the motive power of its
bellows having been withdrawn. One of
the local water commissioners is credited
with the statement that long as the
drought lasted he would not sanction 4
supply of water to organs even at the rate
of a pound a gallon. We have since heard
by cable that good rains have fallen, and
no doubt the troubles of the Baptists and
Catholics Of Ballarat are now over.

ter, at Nemea, situated near the haunt of
the famous Nemean lion, the Staying of

The edifice was overthrown by a success

possible to re-erect them and the fallen

the wounded to the rear, while the Span ish sharpshooters were firing at them from among the trees. That was brave. That was heroic. But today I want you to be just as brave and true. I here and now want you, in order 10 insure your future Christian usefulness as family physician, to surrender your whole life to the service of Jesus Christ. You will do it. will you not?
 Be Like pr. Luke.
 And so, young physician, as you are now ready to consecrate your life to the Savior, I am going to tell you about a beautiful scene which perhaps may hap pen in your life and death. hope the death scene may happen years from now Some day, in the dim future let us hope when your life's work is drawing to a close, there will be a great excitement in some village or in one of the neigh borhoods of great city. Everywhere the word will be whispered: Have you heard the news? Have you heard the news? The doctor, the good old family doctor, is very sick" Then the news will be printed in the village or the city news papers that the good doctor, the family doctor, is dead Then in your family home there will be assembled a fearful gathering The young men and the young women there will not only remem- Der that you welcomed them into the world, but also will tell how you put your gentle hand of remonstrance upon their shoulders when they were about to drift away into sin. Then the older folk will tell how you prayed with them when they lost their first babies. And the min ister will tell how your presence was all the strongest spiritual re enforcement in the church. And the poor families will tell how you not only paid for the med icines out of your own pocket, but also how you got your friends to help out their winter need with clothing and food and coal. And while these weeping friends are telling of your good works, as the weeping widows did about the corpse of Dorcas, there will be heard a hutter of wings. Then the same messen- ger which carried up your soul-your re- deemed soul-to the white throne of God will return. And the same voice which spake when the white dove hovered over the Christ standing in the Jordan will speak then. And then all the weeping friends will recall the divine commenda- ton, '"I was sick, and ye visited me- Oh. my young friend, will you not here and now consecrate your life to the cross By the grace of God will you not be a Christian family physician? Be good Dr. Aronson or a good Dr. Luke.
