The arrival of hot weather means
sickness and suffering for the babies.
In some cases sickness and death are
inevitable, but much suffering may be
avoided, and the death rate lowered, if
mothers use better Judgment in feeding
their children.
The babies that are fed as nature
meant they should be escape many
troubles that bottle-fed babies must ell
dure. but the really critical time is
when the little one is strong enough to
sit in the high chair. and the mother
has no better judgment than to give the
child some of everything on the table.
The teeth and digestive organs differ
ing in adults and babies would call for
different foods in most of families If
you, being an adult, choose to live on
baby foods, that's your business. but if
you give the baby food suitable only
for an adult you'll have a funeral this
summer. The great pity of it all is
that the helpless child must suffer for
the mothers ignorance. and when final
ly the child dies, the Lord or the doc
tors are held responsible for the death.
The, child should not be fed from the
table till year old, then milk and
stale Tread or soft boiled eggs and
bread crumbs may be given in small
quantities at the usual time of nursing.
and the child gradually weaned in this
manner. Study to know the foods suit
able to the age of your child, and there
will be fewer sick spells.-Ella K. Dear

Buying Gloves.

Many women buy their gloves care
lessly. They do not examine the glove
and later find to their sorrow that the
glove that seemed pretty and effective
off the hand is badly made and of poor
material.
''In selecting pair of gloves" said a
glove saleswOman, 1.-The best plan is to
test the kid by stretching it. Take the
side seams between the thumbs and
fingers and pull. If the kid is soft and
pliable, the pores small, even and not
specially noticeable and the glove i'm
mediately takes on its original shape
it gives evidence of not only being elias
tic and therefore full of new life but
of being of fairly good quality. The
heavy walking gloves can be tried in
the same way, but as sure test as any
is in smelling them, and if there is a
rather fragrant odor like that of Rus
sian leather. they, too should be all
right. The stitching in the seams should
all be carefully examined to see that it
is perfect and that there are none sewed
so close to the edges that they will
tear out. If we'll made they should
have small gore between each of the
fingers"

or crepe lisse as trimming. There are
mourning textures in cloth and silk
fabrics. Black belts and ribbons may
also be worn. If black is preferred,
two years for heavy black for hus-
band, two years for parent or child and
six months for sister or brother is the
usual time for wearing it. After that
it may be lightened. The stationery is
usually deep branded for heavy mourn
ing, growing lighter by degrees. At any
stationery store they will tell you the
latest rulings in this respect. In re-
ply to letters of coincidence a black
bordered calling or correspondence card
is used, and on it may be simply writ
ten, Thanking you sincerely for your
sympathy" Face wells are short with
hem. The heavy crepe wells that used
to be worn are never seen now. Even
if black veil is used over the hat, it
comes scarcely to the shoulders, and the
face veil is separate from the one on
the hat,

GREAT WHEAT CROP.
Experts Declare Yield This Year
VIII Be a Record-Breaker

VIII be Observation-Disclosures.
National prosperity far in advance of
the highest known records is indicated
in the crop estimate of II. Y. Jones, the
Minneapolis crop estimator, who gave
out his annual bulletin at noon Thurs
day. The winter wheat production of
the United States he gives as 10000
900 bushels 60,000,000 bushels over last
year, and the record crop of winter
wheat ever produced. Cotton and corn
are i'll exceedingly good condition, and
with a hot July and August may also
break the record; but nothing but a
wet harvest can lower the wheat crop,
says the Jones estimate.
In company with John Inglis, Mr..
Jones has just completed a careful tour
of the winter wheat producing regions
of the country. Grain merchants and
railroads throughout the country await
ed the publication of his report with
great interest, Wall street and the
Southwestern markets cheering when it
was bulletined Summaries of the re-
port were sent to Liverpool and Eng
der.
The crop of Illinois is estimated at
2S,000000 bushels, of Indiana 3SOO0.-
600, and Ohio 32,000,0OO, all much in
excess of last year. Michigan is slight
ly behind. The West and Southwest
double their production.
Upon the crop production the whole
material prosperity of the country for
the year depends, the report proceeds,
and especially the welfare Of the rail
roads, which are peculiarly dependent
on the crops. Wide extension through
out the Northwest and Southwest is in
dicated, and general expansion.
The report gives Texas this year A.
100000 bushels, or twice the yield of
last year; Oklahoma, 2S,000,000 bush
els, or more than double the yield last
year, and a record crop for the new
State; Indian Territory, 100000 bush
els; Kansas, 100000 bushels about
the same as last year; Nebraska, 3d.
100000 bushels, about the same as last
year: Missouri, 100000 bushels, same
as last year.
California is given 100000 bushels,
or twice last years crop. On this basis
the Southwest raises about 25000,000
bushels more than last year. The
Southern and Eastern States and Ore
gOn make up the balance, all the States
having a good average yield except
Michigan, which is probably the light
est in average yield. For Oklahoma
government acreage is increased in this
estimate 100000 bushels
The Canadian Northwest has the
best promise for crop that country
has ever known The acreage is the
largest. and with favorable conditions
the yield of wheat will surpass all pre-
vious years. The official estimate of the
Canadian Department of Agriculture
gives the acreage seeded to wheat at
3.141. 537 acres. On the basis of TWEEN
ty bushels per acre it suggests Il har-
vest of 62S40,000 bushels in Manitoba,
and in the Canadian Northwest of 3d.,
000,000 bushels. The increase in the
acreage under cultivation in wheat is
Ala 600 acres. There is also q larger
area under oats and barley than in pre-
vious years. There has been plenty Of
rain, and the crop is reported as in the
best of condi ion.

Woman in the Professions.

Justice David J. Brewer contributes
an interesting article on Woman in
the Professions" in the Delineator.
The justice comments on the fact that
during the last half century woman has
broken down the doors of entrance into
professional life, that she is no longer
merely an incident but conspicuous
factor in politics and many of the pro-
fessons. To quote in part:
She has a brain and is capable of
receiving the highest educational train
Ing. The land is covered with co-edu-
cational colleges and universities, and
no one has yet had the hardihood to
say that she does not make a success
of her work in them. In the realm of
literature she is constantly present.
Prose and poetry are at her command.
Who writes the most of our acceptable
stories What masculine poet dares to
look down on Mrs. Browning? No long
er are face and form everything. We
have learned to behold the intellect in
her. We see her in the pulpit, at the
bar, and in the doctors office. She
knows something of the Bible, quotes
Blackstone. and, like masculine doc
tors. writes prescriptions in dead Ian
guage. She claims the right to be in
every department of professional life,
and many are asking how far she has
gone and will 90 in that life; what
has been and what will be her success.
True, she has not yet become baseball
or football champion and this depart
ment of culture still remains the pecu-
llar occupation of masculine students.
But who knows how soon she may be-
come Il successful competitor therein?
She is developing as an athlete Some
so-called physiological statisticians af-
firm that her average stature is increas-
ing. In the economic world she has
broken the confinements of home and
entered the doors of outside toll. She
has established the fact that she has a
mind as well as a heart"

which, after much preliminary tribula-
ton, it was done-the bedrock which
was revealed in the American Congress
Of common-SenSe craftsmanship.
The two leading measures Of the ses-
sion We're brought before Congress in
spectacular ways which might we'll
have provoked revolt.
The railway rate bill came as a de-
mand for more and even revolutionary
laws on the heels of a manifest refusal
to enforce existing laws of the same
kind against a fragrant offender.
The meat inspection bill came as a
part of an avowedly destructive cam
paign against a great national indus
try.
Yet first the Senate and then the
House refused to fall into either cyui-
cal Indifference or justifiable though
impotent rage because of the methods
by which these measures were brought
forward.
First one and then the other was
considered with respect to the actual
evils to be cured and their pactical
remedies, and without regard to the
extravagances of their presentation. In
this way verdicts of practical states
manship We're reached.
The session of Congress just closed
has in the end and result we'll repre-
sented the sobriety, sanity, fairness Of
mind, and common sense of the Ameri-
can people, and of the record so made
they have every reason to be proud

AooAAng backward and Forward.
There are millions of citizens who
remember wildly the events of fifty
years ago, when the Republican party
was born. Trouble was in the air A
cloud much larger than a mans hand
was growing along the horizon. Civil
strife carried TO its last arbitrament
was feared, and yet the hope was gen
eral that it would be averted. The most
aggressive element was in the South
and a later generation can not realize
the cool audacity and haunting words
with which it pushed a fixed purpose
Yet the great majority of the people be
lieYed that some settlement could be
reached short of war. The basis Of the
Republican party was nationality. Its
mission was to save the union of States
to preserve the country whose founders
certainly intended that it should be a
nation, and not a conditional arrange
ment that might resolve itself into sew
eral nations. In spite of the old charge
of sectionalism, the Republican party
is the least sectional, the most national
organization the country has ever
known. 1t directed the war to prevent
national division. Its policies have
been national. Only where sectional ex-
clusiyeness and prejudice prevail is it
shut out. Let the national spirit enter

Wives Wanted in Canada.

Canada is winning the unenviable
reputation of an Eveless Eden. The
men outnumber the women, and even
immigration does not mend matters, for
it is figured that of the 1900 new set
tiers who have arrived in Canada since
the first of the year not more than
per cent of them nave been women
OF this per cent the majority were
married women. In the western part
of the Dominion the lack of women is
a serious handicap to the development
of the country. The settlers cannot
find wives, and as a woman plays just
as important a part as man in the
drama of new country, the govern
ment of Canada is worried over the
unenviable situation.

Engagement Rings.

An engagement ring should never be
regarded as woman's property till the
marriage service has been read There
may be urgent reasons for breaking en-
gagementS to marry, and the ring
should then be returned to the giver.
Should he ask that it be kept as a
pledge of friendship, it can be done
without offending good taste very
much; but such thing rarely hap
pens. The ring is money investment
TO young man; and. besides, there are
other girls in the world. says an ex-
change. Usually men have the good
sense to make no fuss over a woman's
;greediness, but an occasional man
wants not only his ring but ali the 9th
err presents he has given returned; and
the law says he has a right to them
whenever the law is asked to settle the
question

a Bit of History.

The proposition of Congressman Da-
wilson to have hearings on the tariff to
test public sentiment and encourage
action is SO old a subterfuge as to be
quite threadbare. 1t was tried in Pres
ident Arthur's day, and a tariff COM
mission that wanted to uphold high
protection was forced to recommend
substantial reductions, and Arthur adj
vocated reductions. He was punished
by being beaten for the nomination, and
the Mckinley and Dingley tariff bills,
since passed, have each put the tariff
up higher. Every Republican in Wash
ington knows these facts, but most of
them. ike Mr.. Davidson, prefer not to
understand them.-Milwaukee Journal

The Walking Skirt.

1t is of white linen.
Or perhaps of linene, the mock linen.
The crash skirts are we'll made this
year.
Those who don't like the yellow crash
can get it in silvery gray.
Panama cloth skirts are cool and
light weight for hOt-weather wear.
For the elderly woman there are
walking skirts of black duck from 81
up.
Blue duck, pin spotted with white,
has its attractions.
Pique colored linen and white lawn
of the finest all comes in the separate
skirt.
This year there are separate skirts in
all the light-cOlored yoiles and in black,
as well as in silk.
A handy skirt to have is one of
white mohair, sicilian or brilliantine.

lily, was born in 1888, and in 1861 was
graduated at the head of his class in
the West Point Military Academy. He
fought with distinction in the civil war,
receiving a congressional medal of
honor, but in 1874 resigned from the
army. In 1895, after a long legisla-
tive deadlock, he was chosen United
States Senator, but the Democrats pro-
tested and the matter went for settle
ment to the United States Senate,
where the Committee on Elections de-
cided IN his favor, but later by a strict
party majority of one the Senate de-
cllned to seat him. Colonel Du Pont
would have been elected at the last
session of the legislature had it not
been for the compromise position taken
by the two factions which eliminated
both Du Pont and Addicks. He has
represented his party many times in

has been honored with positions on i'm
