WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1895.

Uncle Joe Cannon spoke a great
tuth recently while opposed to the re-.
vision of the tariff, he informed those
interested in the ship subsidies that
the reason that foreign countries could
build ships cheaper than they could be
built in this country, was because the
cheap material used in their construc-
tion comes out of this country from be
hind an unreasonable high tariff which
makes the price unreasonably high to
home ship builder. 1t may bother
many to understand, how Uncle Joe
squares his views with his opposition
to tariff revision or reduction, that
would enable the American ship build
ers to compete with those across the
water, especially, when most Of their
materials are purchased in this
country.

the first Monday in January 1906 after
which, he will take his seat in the

elected nearly a year ago, and it would
have been more satisfactory to the
people of the state had he taken his

Noted Veterinarian Dead

The Baltimore San of March 25 an
nounces the death OF one of the most
widely known experts on the diseases of
cattle and other animals in this country
DIR. Robert Ward, OF Baltimore. He was
state veterinarian under five successive
governors. Under his management the
work of this department was greatly
enlarged, and means of prevention of
animal diseases formulated by him
which had not before been discovered.
He was writer for years on agricultural
subjects for the Baltimore Sun up to the
time of the fire last year. For more than
year he had been in failing health, and
for the last two months suffered greatly
from a complication of liver and kidney
complaints.
DIR. Ward was born in England seventy
years ago, the son of wealthy lumber
merchant. His parents decided to send
him to the Royal college OF veterinary
surgery, London, where he was graduated
in 1866
He came to Baltimore in 1888 and about
a month after his arrival was appointed
by Gov. Hamilton, State veterinarian. He
was for time esta blished in Manchester.
Eng, but his renown as a veterinarian
spread to America, and he was asked to
come to this country and become a pro-
fessor of a college in Philadelphia.
DIR. Ward presented to the pathological
department of the Johns Hopkins unfver-
sity large collection of the enlarged
drawings he had made from microscopic
investigation of diseases of animals and
other specimens he had accumulated dur
ing his extensive experience.
DIR. Ward was married forty-five years
ago to Miss Sheppard, of England, who
survives him. He had no children or rela-
tives in this country; in England he
leaves three brothers-John, Reuben and
George.
During his last serious illness he was
attended by DIR. Hoffman, OF Baltimore,
and DIR. George A. Neal, OF Baltimore
medical college, class of 1905, between
whom and himself and wife had existed a
close mutusi friendship for the last year
DIR. Neal has heen in Baltimore, and who
was with him in his last hours. DIR. Ward
was Mason, belonging to the English
branch. He was buried from the Profess
tant Episcopal church of the Messiah.

The Reoreanizea Society.

Written for an Ohio society thas died and
has recently been reorganized.l
Before my house there stood a tree,
Its branches waving full and free
Its shadows flecked with bits of sun,
Its boughs with blossoms overrun
The tree grew sick one drougllty spell;
Half formed, the scanty foliage fell;
Too soon the starving leaves turned
brown,
And then. alas. they cut it down.
My yard it was a lonesome place
Without the trees delightful grace;
No time Of fruitful blossoming,
No place for birds TO nest and sing
30 now have another tree
Bet where the former used to be:
A younger tree. whose eager roots
Are bold with hope Of flowers and fruits
And IL the stripping chance TO fail.
Its leaves grow iiabhy, scant and pale
I'll fertilize the soil a Bit
And keep the ak away from It.

THE BABY In SPRING.
BY MARY ASNABrE FASToS.


What worry its little life can be when
tine first mild days come, when the
weather is too warm for winter fiannels
and too cool for soft thin summer clothes;
when everything initiates the skin and
the temper, and when grown folks grow
unacccuntably cross and unsympatheticl
Just fancy how any of US would feel to
be as uncomfortable as possible, and not
be able to help ourselves, or to tell anyone
how miserable we were, and to be thought
cross when we were really being very
brave about prickly heat, bunchy woolens
and heavy clothes.
Physicians are agreeing nowadays that
much of baby's comfort depends upon his
clothes, that they should be light and
loose and not too warm and as few as pos
sible, and short after the first few months.
Buttons are discarded, according to the
modern baby doctor, and ruffles and puffs,
and trains, so to speak, and jeweled pins
and thick hoods and weighty cloaks; and
fairy-like gossamer garments substituted,
with soft nainsook slips, and null dresses
and finest French flannel, eobwebby

with rosebud at each ear, wool chiffon
wells, and so on through the long list of
fine dainty garments.
And with the wardrobe made cool and
comfortable for spring, with silk instead
of wool and flannel instead Of elder down,
the next consideration is the small child's
bath and nursery ways.
L. al e.
young mother to love giving baby his
morning bath. She may be tender and
affectionate and devoted, but baby
will yell just the same II the water is
hard, the skin tender, and the combina-
tion irritating.
1t is really very important indeed that
baby's bath should invariably be In soft
water. Hard water ehafes the skin, often
breaks it and renders it susceptible to
every sort OF infantile eruption. Or
just the chatting without any more ssri-
Gus difficulty means troubled nights and
fretful days.
II it is not possible to get rain water for
the nursery, put teaspoonful Of dissolved
pure borax powder in q small hath-tub
half filed with water This weak So
luton OF borsx will not only keep the
skin smooth and white, but will cleanse
it antiseptically. Ii is also actually in
MIGRATING to the skin, and SO to the
circulation.
1t will aid in curing any skin eruption
that may have already appeared, and is
soothing to any summer skin difficulties
that come from heating tood or unfiitered
water.
1t is an excellent plan to wash nursing
bottles and all OF bahy's dishes in solu-
tion somewhat stronger, say tcaspoonful
of borax to basin of water, and some
very modern mothers, with an important
knowledge of hygiene, wash nursery walls
and furniture with the same simple prep
aration.
With a daily hygienie bath, and simple,
pretty and comfortable clothes, the TWEEN
tieth century baby of advanced ideas can
crow very loudly over the times OF misery
which its proud parents endured in their
day and generation.
But it is really too happy and well and
cosy to indulge in unkind comparison, too
busy making the best OF its own advan-
tages TO be eensorious.

Two Hundred Names Added to Large
Membership Roll.
If there has ever existed any doubt as to
the success OF the State of Maine club. of
Boston, in its new venture OF leasing the
spacious quarters of the Twentieth Cen
fury club on the corner of Somerset street
and Ashburton place, it has been entirely
dispelled by the deluge of applications
for membership which have poured in
upon the executive committee since the
announcement, late in February. Last
week over 200 new names were added,
making q total of almost 400, of which
about 375 are active members.
Among the nonresident members are
some Of Names most prominent citizens,
including Atty. Gen. Hannibal E. Hamlin,
of Ellsworth, Judge Clarence Hale, of
Portland, Chief Justice Andrew P. Wis
well, of the supreme court, and the Hon.
William Il. Haines, of Waterviile.
The club expects to move early in June
into the new quarters which are receiving
a thorough overhauIing. There will be a
large banquet ball ON the second floor,
while or the lower floor will be installed
two cafes. Several private bedrooms may
be provided for use of members. The
club will have all leading periodicals, i'm
