When Baby Rsains 70 Walk.

Wnen baby begins 70 Walk
After babies have ben creeping for a
short time. they gain confidence in
themselves and begin TO try TO walk.
It is not wise TO urge the child to do
this until he shows the inclination by
pulling himself up on his feet by hold
ing TO your lap or some piece OF fur
niture. AS soon as he takes the initia-
tive then a small amount of assistance
can be given. but no attempts should
be made to make him learn faster than
he does naturally. An excellent exei
else for the child learning to walk, II
he seems TO lack confidence, i5 to stand
him on a chair. couch. or bed. Place
the hands around the child's chest
under the arms. and, supporting him in
this way, let him give light springs into
the air This exercise Is a good one
and enables the child 10 gain conn
dence without forcing him in any way.
A little ;ater when he has learned to
stand firmly on his feet and shows a
desire to take steps by stretching out
his hands 10 you. take his hands in
yours and allow him to take a few
steps, but do net allow him 10 tire him
self under any circumstances. Most
young parents are so proud Of their
baby's first steps that they are APP
to want him 10 perform" for other
people and thus tire HIM.

Mr.. Crawford's physician said today
that his patient had died Of sudden car

greatly from asthma, but seemed to find
relief in oxygen. Up to the last moment
MIR. Crawford wanted to put his papers
in order, and almost his last act was to
read the manuscript of an unfinished ro-
nance, THE White Sister, to a member
of his family. He leaves forty completed
works. and he had gathered together ma
terial for his masterpiece, an exhaustive
account of the medieval communes of
Italy, four volumes of which already have
been completed.
The family has received hundreds of tel

Exploding the Emgy.

Among the many quaint customs in
Mexico that are observed at the Easter
season is that of exploding an effigy Of
Judas. in addition to a peculiar ceremony
known as ''crunching' the bones of
Judas. Manikins are constructed, within
which are placed old clocks. trinkets and
other miscellaneous objects. Wires are
stretched across a street and the man!kins
connected in such way with them that
fuses may be lighted at the proper mo-
ment and the effigy destroyed. At 1910
o'clock the Gloria of the mass is sung,
and this Is signal for exploding the ef-
figy. When the contents of the figure fall
to the ground there is great scramble
for them. The excitement sometimes be-
comes SO intense on such occasions in
the City OF Mexico that the "gendarm ,s
pound the massed crowds with vicious
looking whips
This vivid ceremony is memento of

Of Judas by hanging, in which the state

with added meaning. but with the same
connection with the full moon. The in
fiuence of Egyptian and Babylonian
thought and custom Oh Jewish and Chris
tian holiday habits may be easily traced /;
but there Is very simple explanation
for the fact that the phases of the
moon played such large part In the
early religions preceding Christianity, and
this explanation lies at the basis of
many superstitions about the moon. AS
the darkness Of the night afforded an
enemy an opportunity to creep near and
inf1ict damage without being seen. the
gods saw to 1t that such danger should
be minimized by lighting the night with
the moon. 1t was a short step from be-
lieving that the gods thus interposed to
deifying the immediate source Of light
itself. and SO the moon was deified, un-
der the names of Athor, Ihoth Lunus.

was regarded as masculine sometimes

BEER BLAMED FOR MOSQUITOES

Mosquitoes at Globe, Arizona, are more fierce than ever. reports J. s. Kellogg, a young business man of that city. The beer drinkers are blamed for the pest.
 Globe gets its supply of beer from points in Texas, sometimes from as far as Houston. When the cold stor- age car stands open for any length of time in the eastern part of the Lone Star state. near the marshes the dark corners and the dampness thereof offer tempting hiding places to swarms of mosquitoes When Ire car is filled and sealed the skeeters are prisoners and compelled to be- come passengers for the desert min ing camps. where the heat livens them up wonderfully, even though they cannot find water enough for propagation.

WOOD BY THE CORD.

A cord of wood is 12S cubic feet or the contents of pile feet long. 4 feet high and feet wide. Wood is marketed on this basis. A pile whose length. breadth and height null tiplied together gives this number of cubic feet fills this requirement, no mater whether the sticks are long or short, straight or crooked, round or split, unless there is an understanding to the contrary. Nevertheless, a cord. though it comes up to legal require" ments in measurement, is an uncer- tain quantity even when the seller is honest and the buyer satisfied
 A lumberman may have tract of pulp wood which sells to a paper mill at $5 a cord for as many cords as it will make It is in the contract that he shall cut and stack it. He cuts it iH 12-foot lengths and when the job is complete it measures 200 cords and he receives $1.ooo fo: i' Would he have made or lost by cu-- ting 4-foot lengths instead Of IF? He would have lost in the first place from the additional labor requirel to cut 4.foot wood, but his principal loss would have resulted from a greatly diminished number of cubic feet. due to the fact that short sticks lie closer tigether than large. Had the 200 cords of 12-foot wood been cut in + foot lengths there would nave been only 176 cords and the owner would have received for it S8SO instead Of $1 900. It was, therefore, clearly to his advantage to cut 12foot lengths, but it would have been to the buyers advantage to have it cut in the san.i quantity of wood for $120 less.
 It also makes considerable differ ence to the seller whether wood is chopped or sawed. If chopped the chips are lost. Where the logs are large this loss amour s to no small total. In a cord of 4-foot wood witi stiofs inches in iiameter the c.oi
 loss is from to s per cent, and o
 course the shorter the sticks are cu the greater the loss. If the wood Il
 sawed the sawdust is scarcely the nal of per cent.

TERRITORIAL SQUAB BBLES.

# is intimated that President Tafs will ask congress ct its cext session to establish a bureau that will have e;rect oversight of territorial affairs. For three-quarters of century sue cessiye presidents have been annoy ed by contentious arising in some one or more of the territories. At one time it was the custom for president to appoint the governors secretaries and other territorial off cers from among his political friends in the state. Protests against this custom grew louder and louder as the years rolled by. the territories claiming that they should have home rule"-that is, that all officers should be taken from the citizens of the territories. In 1888 both political par;ies at their national conventions declared in favor of making all ap- pointments from among the territor' isl residents, but that has not result ed in flushing up the troubles, and first one faction and then another has filled the ear of the president with it's complaints.
 Properly speaking, we now have but two territories, Arizona and New Mexico. and it is probable they will be admitted into the union as states by the next session of congress. This would eliminate the trouble the pres. ident complains of. foS then Alaska alone would be left. as the insular possessions are already under the directions of a bureau. But Alaska can of itself cause enough trouble te drive any ordinary chief executive wild. The country is so large and its interests so vast that president has enough to do without being callet upon to settle the squabbles of fac tions, and congress would do wis' thing to relieve him Of the burden Washington Post.
