BABY'S INSTINCT
Shows He Knew What Food to Stick To

Forwarding a photo Of a splendidly
handsome and healthy young boy, a
happy mother writes from an Ohio
town:
"The enclosed picture shows my 4.
year-old Grape.Nuts boy.
"Since he was years old he has
eaten nothing but Grape-Nuts. He de-
mands and gets this food three times
day. This may seem rather, un.
usual, but he does not care for any
thing else after he has eaten his
Grape Nuts, which he uses with milk
or cream, and then he is through with
his meal. Even on Thanksgiving day
he refused turkey and all the good
things that make up that great din
ner, and ate his dish of Grape-Nuts
and cream with the best results and
none of the evils that the other foolish
members of the family experienced.
HE is never sick, has beautiful
complexion, and is considered q very

BALTIMORE'S SUN DIAL. ~ .
1t Is of Peculiar Construction and Only
One Of Its Kind Ever Built.)
NAUTICAL wonder, for it registers thu
time at Is places, each far distant
from one another. From it's Is faces
can be read the hours at Rio Janeiro
Sitka, Jeddo, Jerusalem, Fernando Pc,
Cape Cod. Baltimore, Pitcairn's island
Honolulu, London, Cape Town and San
Francisco. The equatorial and polar
planes. the latter with the motto "sine
umbra nihil," make up the 10 faces OF
this peculiar dial.
That he had constructed q wholly
original sun dial of which there Is no
duplicate is fact which surprised Mr..
Hamilton, for he believed, while con.
structing it. that he was reproducing
in essential points the famous dial at
CLAIMS castle, in Scotland, which is
undoubtedly the finest in the world.
There are over eight dials in, all on
this famed timepiece, each of its "A
facets having from three to four dials
each. This dial is certainly three Gen.
turtles old, as it appears in print Of
the castle, behind which it stands,
previous to the year 1900, and was
named in Earl Patrick's Book Of Rec
ord of date previous to 1895.
It was from a description Of the
CLAIMS sun dial, which is over 81 feet
high, and handsomely carved, that Mr..
Hamilton drew the plans for the dial
which now stands in Druid Hill park.
Never having seen even a photograph
Of the CLAIMS dial, Mr.. Hamilton had
only verbal descriptions to work upon
and he concluded that the many faces
of the CLAIMS dial must speak the time
at various points. But the CLAIMS dial
tells only Scotland time. Thus Mr..
Hamilton's work is not copy in any
sense, but is original with him.
It was in 1875 that Mr.. Hamilton
constructed his unique dial Of sand
stone. 1t stood In his yard for a
number Of years. In 1892 he presented
it to the city of Baltimore. It was
first placed in one of the smaller parks,
and afterward removed to Druid Hill
park near the Eutaw place entrance.
AS time had begun to wear away some
of the inscriptions, the park commits
sion recently spent $500 to cover the
surface with bronze plates and en-
grave them. This has been done un-
der Mr.. Hamilton's supervision, ana
the dial now bids fair to stand for Gen.
turtles. a picturesque monument to its
maker. Y

OF our yawning money bags,
What q Joy will thrill our bosoms-
All romantic nonsense drowned
Az we hear her torrents thunder
Through the wheel pit under ground!
Then we'll blast away Goat island.

Put a turbine in the whirlpool.
Build shot towers down the rocks.
How we'll pity our poor forebears,

While allowing, thoughtless fellows,
All those kilowatts to waste!
Forward, Spirit of Progression!
Natures still glddy shirk.
Tear away her fancy toggings,
Get her into trim for work.
Turn the Adirondack forest
Into neat and useful planks:
Straighten out the crooked Hudson,
Line with piers her grassy banks.
Crush the Dunderberg for pavements,
Make the Palisades cement,
Fill the Catskills up with signboards-
Lots Of good rock space to rent.
Rip the redwoods into shingles,
Sow the Yellowstone to wheat,
Turn the geysers into laundries
And the bear and deer to meat.

To the graceful curves and meaning
OF the pleasing dollar sign?

her husband asked, after he had ad-
mired the lace in his clumsy way.

Mrs. Tryon smiled condescendingly.

''Well," pouted the lady. II need a

A few days later she came home
from q strenuous. morning in a silk

but as she explained to her lord and
provider, II couldn't get anything
cheap that would look we'll with that

make up the new waist, and when she

her neighbors and had an exhibition of
the goods and descriptive lecture on
how it was to be transformed into the
dearest waist that ever was. To all of
which the neighboring women agreed
and each showed the proper degree of
envy over the bargain. Shortly after

"Whatever your object" Mrs. Tryon
responded, bit nettled herself, your

But it's mine. I can't finish my
dress without it. Why, it will ruin
everything. The dress cost me 5000, l

to sell it to me. 1t only cost you Is

Mrs. Tryon interrupted. Besides, I'm
