is right with us and the small boy is in his happy mood; yes. and the girls also. Only a short time ago you'd see them going down hill helter-sketer on their double rippers, and goodness knows they've had lots of that sport this winter, and now you'll see them playing marbles. skinning their knuckles and getting their clothes all dirty. Of course that means mamma must clean them. Well, just now the hollsekeeper has lots of cleaning to at- tend to, house cleaning. for instance, and let us say right here the man who will allow the housekeeper to do any cleaning without using our washing fluid should be given d ride in the new patrol wagon and surely some men are getting ride in the "Blark Ma- riar" for much less OtfpnSc. Now, as far as cleaning is concerned the Wo- man who does the washing or house cleaning without our washing fluid is a very foolish person. and if they doubt Us, just buy one bottle and see for yourself.

The Wheat Situation In This Country

The various sections of the American Asso-
citation for the Advancement Of Science and
the affiliated societies, which was IN session
last week in Philadelphia, Pa. heard more
than one hundred papers on FRIDAY. Among
them was the following:
This country Is gradually moving 10 poiui
where it will be forced TO become an importer
of wheat. was the substance OF JohH Cassell
Williams paper on The Wheat Situation ia
the United States, before the social and eco
nomie science section.
1T is probably safe to say that SO long rs
the policy of protection governs the framing
of tariff laws in Congress, 50 long will the duly
on wheat remain the speaker continued,
.'Relief as substantial as would be afforded b.
the absolute repeal Of the duty would result
from a reciprocity treaty admitting Canadian
wheat free OF duty IN return for the admission
of certain products of the United States into
Canada. The negotiation Of such treaty
might have been possible few years ago, aud
it was generally foreseen that the time was
coming when the millers aud the consumers
of the United States would want u draw upon
the Canadian wheat fields, bat 1t Is now too
late to hope for such treaty, as II would meet
with the determined opposition Of every Sena
tor from wheat producing State.
"What is to be the future relation of the
domestic supply Of wheat in the United States
TO the domestic demand Ii is possible to
recognize the operation Of certain tendencies
in American agriculture seeming TO indicate
that wheat production in the United States
cannot be expected 10 increase in the future
AT a much greater rate than will be necessary
TO supply the increasing domestic demaud.
While there will probably be seasons in which
a considerable surplus may be available for
export, there viii be other seasons in which
there will be no surplus, and, Ia the event OF
an uniavorable season, wheat will have 10 be
imported to supply the demand in this country.
Ii is not impossible that the ultimate result Of
the operation of these tendencies will be- 10
make the United States permanent importer
of wheat under norma! conditions.

Got Them Mixed.

A lady walked into a grocer shop one
day with her sleeves turned up to her ell
bows and a fighting light in her eyes.
This here" she observed with sniff, as
she banged piece of yeliowy substance on
the counter, lis the soap what does the
washin' of itself; the soap what makes
ev'ry washin day kind of a glorifed
bean feast; the soap what gifts all the linen
as white as snow and as sweet as hazel

housewife spend the rest Of the day playin
with the children, and here am | been
scrubbin' three mortal hours with that
lump, and amt got so much lather out Of

Il beg your pardon" remarked the
grocer courteously, "but it isn't the soap.
Your little boy came in here yesterday for
half pound of both soap and cheese

40 Children In 1o Years and Is in
IL Years.

FREDERIcKsBURG, Va, Dec. 3O.-A son, the
twenty second child. was born here today to
Mr. and Mrs John J. White. Mrs. White is
only SO years old and has been married 10
years. There are three sets of twins in the
family.
CHICAGO, Dec. 3O-For the fifteenth time
in twelve years Mr.. and Mrs. Felix Morgan,
of South Chicago, are again happy parents.
The boy came last night, and he is as lusty as
any baby boy in Chicago.
1t might naturally be expected that his
arrival after so many predecessors might mill
tate against the cordially of his reception ;
that the competition Tor parental favor he Is
called upon to face might well discourage one
of such tender years. But this is really not the
case. In fact, the greeting accorded him by
father and mother was just as enthusiastic aud
sincere as that given to the earlier arrivals.
Nay, more; Feliz Morgan, proud father that
he is, says his pride will not he satisfied until
he can stand twenty healthy, hearty boys and
girls up in row and exclaim. They are all

be notified.
What makes the occasion more than ordi
narily interesting is that, while these fifteen
babies have come within the last twelve years,
there are no twins among them.

CONTAGION AND INFECTION.
A Physician Explains the Difference
Between the Two Terms.

A Baltimore physician writes to the
Philadelphia Pa. Ledger as follows :
In an item in recent issue of the Ledger
there is evidence of the very prevalent mis-
conception that all diseases which are caused
bv germs are contagious. There is great
deal of evidence that rheumatism, espe
cially in the form Of acute rheumatic fever,
is caused by very common germ; but, so
far as am aware. there is not a shadow
of evidence that would lead us to suspect
that one person with rheumatism could
give the disease to any other person.
This statement may seem absurd, but a
close parallel can be found in the case of
lockjaw 1t has been proved hundreds OF
times, beyond all shadow of doubt, that
lockiaw is caused by definite microbe,
but no one has, | think, ever yentured to
assert that the disease is conveyed from
one person to another
The whole trouble, apparently, arises
from confusion of the words contagious
and infectious. All germ diseases are IN
fictitious; that is, they are caused by an
infection or entrance of germ into the
system. Germ diseases are not contagious
unless they can be conveyed from one per
son to another BY contact more or less dl-
rect.
In view of these facts, it Is easy to see
that rheumatism is an infectious disease.
BY no stretch of the imagination, however,
can it be called Contagious disease.
doubt if you can find a physician who has
examined the matter carefully who will say
that rheumatism is catching. Consequent.
ly you say, and you say with a good deaI
of truth, that it is absurd to regard sut.
ferer from rheumatism as source Of danger
to Others trust, however, that | have
made it plain that rheumatism may, IN
spite of this noncontagious character, still
be a germ disease

The Penitentiary Convicts Earn More
Than Their Board And Lodging

According to the annual report Of Warden
John F. Weyler, the 1905 prisoners at the
Marylsnd peniteutiary during the last year
have earned enough by their labor 10 pay the
entire COS, of maintaining the prison, and IN
addition have given the state profit Of so,
57O.69. Besides this they have earned S2s,-
667.77 overtime pay for themselves-more
than $50 piece.
The report Of the wardea shows that when
he was appointed. in 1883, the penitentiary
rarely paid expenses. In 1890, for the first
time, the receipts appreciably exceeded the
expenditures. and since then the surplus has
increased steadily.
Mr. Wyeler's figures show that drunkenness
is less responsible for crime than is commonly
supposed. 0fhis 1905 wards, 2S4 we're strictly
temperate before conviction and 652 we're but
moderate drinkers. OF incorporates there
are but ca, and of abjeet slaves Of drink bat 2.

Millions Shipped to Europe as Christ
mas Gifts.

The United States played Santa Claus to
the world at large, according to reports Sc
cured from General Superintendent Joseph
Elliott, of the money order division of the
New York Postoffice. From December to
December "A, the night before Christmas, no
less than 334, OS4 international orders were
forwarded to other lands from there, and these
orders called for S4,677, 628. 80. The remit
tances we're the largest in the history Of the
Posioffice. The figures show an unusual dis
tribution also. For instance, Italy came
second on the list of benefciaries, in point OF
money received, and a good first in the
amount of the individual orders.
Great Britain, SIS matter OF course, got
more money and more orders, but averaging
the amount of the separate orders, it is seen
that the British got but little more than $40
apiece. The Italian orders show an average
of more than $50 each.
Portugal had the smallest average. The
average of the orders forwarded to that conn-
try was 81. Even Luxembourg. which was
at the bottom of the list from the standpoint
of orders, showed an average somewhat larger.
Egypt. too, was ahead Of Portugal.
