Baby Must Sleep Alone.

More than three-quarters of q
young baby's life is spent in sleep,
and upon the restfulness of 1t de-
pends much of the child's future
strength, says the New York
Telegram. This being the case.
1t is certainly important that tho
sleep should be the right kind. Ono
Of the errors of young mothers is to
believe that II baby sleeps it Is
surely resting. This is far from be-
Ing the case. for II the crib is not
comfortable and the ventilation as It
should be slumber does not do for
the child what 1t should.
One of the most important of ali
things is that baby should sleep
alone. l know this seems like cold
blooded edict, and to many mothers
a senseless one until they understand
the reason.
First and foremost, there is al
ways danger Of baby's being
smothered when in the bed at night
with another person. AS matter OF
fact, the death rate among infants
from suffocation in this way is by nc
means small.
1t is we'll known fact that whoa
two persons sleep together the
stronger absorbs the vitality of the
weaker, and that is what you can.
not help doing to your baby. 1t can.
not be as strong and lusty a child Of
1t will be without this drain upon It.

The Marriageable Age,

1t is rather difficult to fix arbi-
trarily the best age for marrying,
and yet this is what a fair corre-
srondent asks us to do. "Is girl
an old maid necessarily at thirty?"
she wants to know, and "Is not eigh-
teen too young for marrying?"
A generation ago these questions
might have been answered prompt
ly and positively. Then a girl was
considered "spinster" at thrifty,
and eighteen was not considered far
from the average age for marrying
To-day neither the girls nor the
parents seem to consider matrimony
the end and aim of earthly exist
ence. There are no "old maids"
any more. The opinion appears to
prevail that woman may reign sin
Gle, with honor, just as we'll as man.
The explanation for this changed
condition is, of course, to be found
In woman's invasion of the business
world. The bachelor girl, independ-
ent, respected, admired, is a natural
consequence Of society's changed at
titude toward women who earn their
own living.
For a decade the tendency has
been to advance the marriageable
age Of both men and women. The
average parties to this most solemn
OF all contracts have had time to
develop mentally and physically.
This must have a natural result on
the we'll being Of their offspring.-

a curious fast is that the prices OF

The unifol nit of the price scale

Meehan Urges New Plan to Breed Fish
Says Private Ponds May Be Used BY the
State,

Fish Commissioner Meehan is
formulating plan, outlined in his
recent annual report, which, he be-
lieves, will add largely to the out
put of useful fishes and without any
cost to the State. The plan in brief
is to make the artificial ponds, pri-
vately owned, auxiliary breeding
p5nds whenever the owners signify
a willingness in writing to have
them so used.
For more than year the Com.
missioner has been receiving num-
erous letters from owners of ponds
Of this character in which was ex-
pressed desire to obtain fish for
them, and in most cases offeriug to
pay for fry. Under the existing
laws owners of private waters can
not obtain fish from the State.
An interesting feature of most Of
the letters was that the fish inquir-
ed about were not goldfish, such as
were the fad few years ago, but
for species like black bass, pickerel,
yellow perch, sunfsh and even cat
fish. The letters almost uniformly
indicated a warm interest in the
subject and it was these letters
which gave the Commissioner the
idea that these ponds might be uti-
lized for the benefit of the State
and without any cost, excepting to
stock fish. AS an experiment he
took two ponds owned by Bromley
Wharton, who was private secre-
tary to Governor Pennypacker.
In one pond was placed black
bass and in the other blue gill sun
6st. From the black bass were
hatched several thousand fry, which
were planted in the Neshaminy
Creek, excepting a few retained tor
breeding purposes. From the sun
fish there were also produced a large
quantity Of young, a:d these are
being held in the pond until spring
to ascertain how they will carry
over the winter.
The Commissioners idea is to
have the owners engage themselves
to permit the ponds to De used as
above indicated, and the State then
to stock the ponds with suitable
species OF fish, and wien they
spawn to take about IS pee cent. of
the young for planting in public
waters. When the young left in
the onds have reached mature age
it is proposed to permit the owner
Of the pond as compensation to
catch and dispose Of the old fish,
which would be of no further use
10 the department.
A hint Of this plan having be-
come known several meu have al
ready offered to place their ponds
at the disposal of the State for
breeding purposes.

Rain and Waterinc-Pot.

Many persons must have noticed
that the most delicate sprinkling of
lawns and fiower-beds fails to impart
to the grass and plants a vital stimu-
lus equal to that which comes from a
good shower Of rain. The reason is
because rain, falling from a great
height through the air. brings with it
considerable quantity of carbonic
acid gas, of nitrogenous particles, and
Of other elements nutritious to plants
which it has washed out of the atmos-
phere. So a sprinkler used from the
top OF tall building might be slightly
more effective than when employed at
the surface of the ground.

E. Bird returned Thursday from a trip
to their ranch near Colfax. They were
away on the trip five days and had no
delays. They have now growing on the
ranch 300 acres of wheat. Mr.. Bird
said the prospects for big crop looked
good to him. The only thing that will
injure it now is continued spell of hot
weather for the next two weeks. With
good weather the crop will be ready to
harvest in three weeks and is good for
20 sacks to the acre. Mr.. Bird says the
prospects for fruit in that locality are
much better than was anticipated after
the severe frosts of the late spring and
that more than an average fruit crop
will be harvested"

MAY CLOSE ALL MINES
NEW ASSOCIATION OF ZINC PRO
DUCERS WILL DECIDE.
Decline in Ore Prices Is Leading Topic
at Mineral Point Meeting-Adopt
Uniform Wage Scale

MINERAL. POINT, Wis, Sept. 81
[SpeciaI.l Representatives of every
mining company of any prominence in
the zinc fields of Southwestern Wiscon-
SIM Illinois and Iowa, to the number of
ninety, are meeting here this afternoon
to form a mine-owners' association.
No action regarding the closing down
of all mines IL the district until the
prices of ore advances again was taken
aud it is probable that this will be left
to the executive board, which will be
named tonight.
The sentiment held by mining men as
Semblcd here is that the same course in
augurated by the producers III the :. cp-
lin district should be carried out and all
mines closed down until the supply of
lead and zinc reaches a normal basis.
One of the most important questions
t. lome up before the association is the
adoption of Il uniform wage scale. 1t
is also proposed by Platteville and Ben
ton mine owners to open Il central assay
office, the same to be operated by the
newly formed association of mine owners.
