Weighing the Baby.

1t is well to weigh the baby regular
". In some cases the weight Is taken
daily, but once a week is usually often
enough. Nothing tells so accurately
how he is thriving.
The best time to weigh him Is when
he is undressed, just before his bath.
The same scales should be used each
time, and these must be accurate. The
scoop kind are best for young Infants.
Before putting him IN the scales he
should be undressed and wrapped in
small blanket. The scales are then bal
anced and the amount noted, after
which the baby is removed and dressed,
says the New York Herald. Then the
blanket in which he has been wrapped
is weighed and this amount deducted
from his weight A normal baby usu-
ally doubles his weight at the end of
the fifth month, and by the end Of the
first year will weigh three times his
weight at birth. When properly fed, a
healthy baby does not lose weight.
There are times, however, when the
baby viii gain very slightly, and, prob
abIy, for a few weeks will not gain at
all, and still be in a healthy condition.
During the teething period and dur-
ing very hot weather the baby seldom
gains, or, at least, gains very little

Husbands Fai1ings.

If you are disappointed in your ahus-
band after you are married, remember
that it is just possible he is quite as
much disappointed in you. Human ma

mind that there is usually blame at
tached to both sides, and that what we
all have to do is to make the best Of
one another as we are, rather than
lament that others are not perfect.

iron DRAIN Pipe
IN POSITION

North Mill street, which was closed
on Friday, was thrown open to travel
again on Saturday. Some persons are
heard to protest against the closing of
streets while repairs or reconstruction
is under way, but Friday afternoon
affored an instance when it was. really
impracticable to keep the street open
during its whole length.
1t occurred while the heavy iron
pipe of 16 and "a inches respectively
were being sunk at the intersection of
Spruce street. Night came on before
the work was completed but early on
Saturday the pipe along one half of
the width of the street was buried and
the spot WAS graded over. The street
was in good condition for traffic Sat-
urday night and yesterday
Comparatively few persons were in
convenienced, as, while reconstruction
is in progress, many persons in enter
ing and leaving town make it prac-
tice of using Montour row and West
Centre street. The road over the Gin
der tip connecting Montour row with
the State highway just beyond the
borough line affords clean and level
drive and the way through Montour
row is much preferable to the more
roundabout and hilly route that leads
over Upper Mulberry street.
Just at present North Mill street can
be driven with comparative comfort.
Excavation is pretty nearly completed
and the bottom of the roadway is fair
ly level and solid. A little later, while
the actual laying of brick is in pro-
gress it is difficult to understand how
traffic can be admitted to the street
The sinking of the heavy iron pipe
made it necessary to change the loca-
tion of the water plug at Mill and
Spruce streets. 1t was removed about
IL feet further eastward up Spruce
street by superintendent of Constrnc-
| tion P. j. Keefer yesterday afternoon.
The work, along with the insertion OF
new plug at Upper Mulberry and
Centre streets, occupied several hours,
the borough, water in the third ward
being shut off during that time.

wealth at the same court will also get
an increased compensation of ST. 80 per
diem. The court will be an expensive
one, owing to the increased fees to be
paid. The additional financial obliga-

relative thereto. The same trouble

BOW 10 Manionre Trees.

A new method of overhauling and
treating shade trees has been tried in
nearby towns with much success.
L he method is first to trim the tree
taking care to remove all dead wood
and leave the top open for tile circula-
tion of the air. Then the body of the
tree is scraped so as to remove the
rough. hard. ragged portions of the
bark that harbors insects and various
kinds of scale. Then all decayed spots
are cleaned out. The rotten portions
dug out and the holes filled up with
cement, much after the way dentist
treats a cavity in a tooth. This ar
rests the decay and makes the wound
certain to heal over in natural way.
When.all that work has been done
the trunk and lower limbs of tine tree
are treated to coat of linseed oil,
with quantity of coal oil and other
ingredients mixed into it. This the
bark absorbs and holds. The insects
that are usually harbored in the bark
find it distasteful, and die or disappear.
AS a result of this treatment it is
claimed the trees become healthy and
live longer. After four or five years
the treatment has to be repeated if its
good results are to be maintained.

of Caroline Haupt Bozark, went to
Sunbury last week to see about pro-

Northumberland county, because of the
marriage of his daughter to William

The girl went to Sunbury in May
and went through the Jail. She saw
Bozark and fell in love with him.
Frequent visits to the prison were
made by her, and recently the pair
were married in the psrlor of the
warden's residence.
Haupt says his daughter is under
age. not accountable for her actions
and that the sheriff had no right to
allow the marriage to take place. The
father wants the marriage annulled.
Mrs. Bozark wants the Judge to re-
lease Bozark SO that they may go to
housekeeping.
