THE BABY CROP.

Worth More Than All Other creps - .
National Asset.
When you come to think of it, there's
no escaping the conclusion that the
baby crop is worth more to this good
country of ours than all the corn,
wheat, cotton, beef and poultry prod
ucts put together-worth more In dol
lars and cents. Untimely frosts, the
boil weevil, the wheat rust. the green
aphis and all the other crop and AMI
NAL scourges couldn't work SO great q
national disaster as genuine baby
famine
And it is simply appalling to think
what would happen to our national
temperament If babies were abolished.
Our sense of humor would instantly 60
glimmering. and smiles would become
rarer than black hollyhocks. The edu-
cation Of parents in all the little arts
of tenderness would go into instant
decline, and we would speedily become
a nation Of ossified hearts and sour
faces.
Babies are the chief apostles Of un.
selfish affection. All the world admits
that. The mother who has constantly
maintained an attitude of unalloyed
selfishness toward all the world will
go to the depths Of self denial and sac
rifice for the helpless child, and men
Of fiery and autocratic temperament
become meek and plastic disciples ID
schools Of patience and restraint where
in their own babies are the teachers
and disciplinarians.-R Book.

Havelock Ellis in his Soul Of Spain"
has revealed intimately and charming
" the temperament Of the Spanish
people. According to him, the Span
lard is still fundamentally primitive.
In proof of his possession Of the
primal instincts Of hospitality and
charity he quotes the following anec-
dote from an Aragonese newspaper OF
few years ago, at time when there
was much distress in Aragon:
A laborer out Of work came on the
highroad determined to rob the first
person he met. This was a man with
wagon. The laborer bade him halt
and demanded his money.
Here is $50, all that / have" the
detained man replied.
There is nothing left for me but
robbery. My family are dying Of hun
ger" the aggressor said apologetically
and proceeded to put the money in his
pocket, but as he did 50 his mind
changed.
Take this, CHICO" he said, handing
back $40. "One is enough for me-"

After Results That May Come From
Hunting It With a Light.
The folly Of hunting for a leak in a
gas pipe with lighted match is not
so much because of the danger OF an
explosion as Of other damage. as is
shown by the experience Of house
holder not long ago.
One or two small leaks were detect.
ed by going over all the pipes and
holding lighted match to them. The
smell Of gas ceased. but was replaced
few hours later by the smell Of burn
Ing wood.
Another visit to the cellar showed
charred floor joist a little distance
above gas pipe. There was no ap-
parent cause for this until Il very close
examination resulted in the finding Of
tiny jet Of gas which was issuing
from the pipe beneath the beam.
1t was lighted, but was so small as
to he blue in color and nearly invisi-

probably have been work for the fire
brigade. The smallest possible jet Of
