BACHELORS AND BABIES.

Every unmarried man and wo-
man should adopt II baby"
This is the remedy for the selfish
ness of bachelors and old maids sug.
gested by Miss Mary Vida CLARK
some time since at the meeting of a
New York woman alliance.
Miss Clark did not claim expert
encc of her own. but she told of a
spinstcr acquaintance who had
adopted seven babies with eminent
success
1t has long been proverbial that
old maids can manage babies better
than anyone else. Bachelors, too,
have distinguished themselves for
sage remarks about the treatment of
children, which it is II shame not to
see given practical application.
1t is an inherent fault of parents
that they are unwilling to take ad-
vice concerning the management of
their children. A man will gladly
borrow wisdom in the training of "a
horse; il woman will cheerfully cOn-
suit expert opinion about the cut Of
her gown; but in the bringing up of
their childrcn neither of them will
tolerate even IA suggestion.
So it seems an inspired proposition
that the old maids and bachelors
who appear to know all about raising
children but have no turn for pro-
ducing them should divide labor and
responsibilities with parents who
have genius for bearing them but no
fine theories whatever about bring
ing them up.
But it was not the good of the ba-
bies that Miss Clark had in mind as
much as the good of the bachelors
and spiLsters themselves. She was
talking not on philanthropy but on
practical methods of self-help. She
meant that for their own self-help
bachelors and spinsters should adopt
babies
There is no question that Il baby's
little hands, seemingly SO puny and
helpless, have more power to pick
selfshness out of crusted heart
than anything else in the world.
The baby's smile, 50 meaningless
aud capricious, carries more sun
shine in it than anything else this
side of heaven.
The proposition is a good one as far
as it goes, but better one would be
that bachelors aud old maids adopt
one another aud have babies Of their
own.

An Ancient Bell

The oldest bell in the United States
is on exhibition in the New Mexico
building of the Worlds Fair. The bell
was brought from Spain on one of the
first expeditions to Mexico by Father
Juan de Padilla. one of the Franciscan
fathers who accompanied Coronado to
New Mexico. 1t was hung in one OF
the mission churches established in one
Of the seven cities of CibOla. From
there it was taken to Gran Quivera.
where it was hung in a church OF
which the ruins are still visible From
Gran Quivera it was taken TO AlgO-
dones, where it has hung in the parish
church ever since. Father Padilla was
killed by his guides while on the way
from Gran Quivera TO Algodones- The
bell weighs exactly 1913 pounds. 1t was
baptized Maria Josefa- 1t was cast in
the year A. d. 1855, according to the
inscription which is cast in the bell

Dias and Me4ico.

In the marvellous development of
Mexico in the past generation Diaz has
played the leading part. Among the
foremost achievements of the existing
Mexican government must be counted
the founding of a national school
system, free from sectarian influence
The strong hand of the President is
also seen in the marvellous regeneration
of the capital city, which is now
drained by the greatest piece Of
sanitary engineering in the world and
which is being rapidly modernized in
the matter of good pavements. parks
public buildings and canals.
Another great achievement of the
Diaz administration has been the i'm
provement of Mexican harbors ON the
Gulf and the Pacific. The latter fact
is especially notable in the instance of
the Tehuantepec route. BY this hipb-
way goods in transit from Atlantic
ports to California have an ADVANTAGE
of 1900 miles over the proposed Panama
canal.
