AUSTRIA HAS A NEW COIN.
Gold Piece With Emperor's Portrait
May Be Little Used

Vienna.-A new gold coin, worth
about $50, is to be put in circulation
in Austria Hungary. 1t is stamped
with the half-length portrait of the
emperor, while the reverse bears the
imperial eagle, The edge of the coin
Is not milled.
Whether the new coin is likely to
make its way into general use is an
open question. The. Vienese abso-
lutely refuse to adopt the gold coins
already in use. If gold piece is
presented in payment the recipient al
ways regards it with distrust. The
coins in circulation show no sign of
wear If obliged to accept the coins
the ordinary Viennese repairs to the
nearest shop it which it is known,
and willingly changes the glittering
coins for the very dirtiest and most
ragged notes that can still be consid-
cred legal tender.

Topeka, Kans.-The baby crop IN
Kansas is falling off. Despite the fact
that in corn, wheat and oats Kansas
this year astounded the world with
a message that out of those three crops
alone it made $15,000,O 900 more than
any year before in its history, the
sad admission must be made that the
stork came to Kansas more than p
coo less times in the last fiscal year
than in the same months of 1907 and
1905.
The whole baby crop for the Sum
flower state for the last fiscal year,
concerning which all statistics are now
collected. numbers 2S,S50. The fiscal
year of 1sO7-19OS returned a total of
25.eSO babies born in Kansas. At that
time the antagonists of race suicide
were worried; now they are scared.
The births for the 1eO6-19O7 fircal
year totaled $500.
state Gains 5O,692 Persons.
But the real tragedy begins in an
swer TO this question, asked by a man
who thought he might explain the
cause of the falling off in little
things" He asked; But maybe. sir,
(adjusting his spectacles), there has
been something peculiar about the
population, increase or decrease, and
we can account for it in that way?"
That is just where the backbone of
any excuse for the baby shortage was
broken. In 1907 Kansas gained 3s,-
900 people over 1906. In 1908 the
state gained but $3.50 people over 1907
a tremendous slump, due to a falling
off of activity in the gas and oil re-
gions But this year the light shines
forth with the joyful news that Kan
sas gained 50,692 people over 1908.
Just match those two figures, and
then offer an excuse for 1000 less ba-
bies in Kansas this year than last,
ii you dare!
Report of Census Bureau.
DR.. $. J. Crombine. secretary of the
State Board of Health, just finished
sending these figures of the baby crop
along with a lot of others. to the
United states Census Bureau, when he
was asked if he could make any ap-
ologies on behalf of the state.
None sir" he replied. There are
TWO reasons, TO De pain ana lTdHh'
One is that in a good many homes
babies are becoming unpopular. They
won't have them and they don't have
them The other reason is that great
many women are engaged in conf
mercial life, and do not marry. Those
two things tell the whole thing in a
nutshell
Rabies Sent TO Texas
In one of the doctors bulletins was
an article written by some Texan scor-
ing Texas people because a carload OF
babies were shipped into the Lone Star
state for adoption. 1t was the Texans
idea that Home Production of Ba-
bies" should be the issue of the hour
in that state.
"He is right" said DR.. Crumbine,
land the idea is right anywhere. Ba-
bies are brought into Kansas anc
adopted good many of them, have
no doubt There is no reason why
Kansas should not have a first-class
home production. There is nothing to
hinder a good baby crop in Kansas
Nothing wrong with this state. a
family without a baby has missed the
one best bet of life"

TRIMMINGS FOR THE TURKEY.
How to Decorate the Bird For tho
 Christmas Dinner.

The Christmas turkey is dressed with as much care as the hostess and in more colors. If it be family turkey a wealth of paper ribbons adorns It and grouping of parsley rosettes trims It's sides. Half lemon makes n head for his turlSeyship, and of course 1t rests in bed of green, fluffy edible. The turkey is Drowned before his ex- terior treatment begins, and in this matter there is only one rule, which is that he shall be Drowned all over. He must be done just to turn" and the turn is deep, rich brown, almost as dark as seal brown. but very shiny. with the shine caused by the richness of his cookery. Now the turkey is taken out, and a platter specially pre- pared for him is brought forth. This is heated and is covered with green. and for this the pretty watercress plant is as decorative as anything. Take his birdship and while he is still sizzling tie around him paper chain. Let it be made in a sort of effect which is so becoming to the Ameri- can king of table birds. Carry this ruching of ribbon around his noble breast and fasten it iD the back, so that as he lies upon his back his breast will rise in handsome, grace ful arch. adorned by the ribbon.
 The turkey will want also a few TO- settes upon skcwers of wood, or metal will answer the purpose. Do not let the turkey go to the table minus head or minus tail. A lemon cut in half, with few notches for balanc- ing purposes. will answer for both places. Take the half of lemon that is to make head and let it rest in a bed of parsley. The turkey must have his wristlets, for no turkey looks well without them. For wristlets or paper cuffs you can buy the cuffs that come for this purpose, or If you cannot buy them handily you can make them. Take of firm white paper enough to go around the turkeys leg. Fold the pa- per and when it is folded slash it. Cut 1t as though you were making a fringe. Now glue the cuff into shape Let it dry and you have an ornament for the turkeys leg. This Vill protect your ringers from grease when you nibble the drunistick.

How to Manage eaby's str.nsth.

Every mother knows how weak a child's neck is at first, and she always should be careful to support the neck and head by placing the hand or arm for the baby to lean his back and head against By the time the child is three or four months old it should be able to hold the head erect if the body is SUD- ported. and by the sixth or seventh month the baby should be able to sit erect with the head held upright. By this time the child probably will begin to creep or hitch himself along the floor. At nine months the first attempt is made to stand. and many children by the time they are ten or twelve months old can stand alone

Etiquette for Announcements

There are slight changes in the
forms for announcements. Those who
care for the most elaborate choose
kind wherein the recipients name is
written, as in some wedding invita-
tions. This means much extra work
and is not better form than the usual
one that omits it.
Also as in invitations the announce
ments may be made in the name of
the brides parents or her nearest rel
ative. For example:
"Mr. and Mrs. James Brown smith
may Announce the marriage of their
daughter Laura to Mr.. Charles Evans
Jones'" the place and date following.
They are sent out precisely as are
invitations. There are two envelopes
and the name of a young girl may
be put on that of the parents. the
cards must be addressed and stamped
to be posted Immediately after the
ceremony. It is a great mistake to
have any delay in getting them out.
Incidentally one may say to busl-
ness girl that it is a courteous act to
send an announcement, but not an at
home" to her former employer and
whether or not she has ever seen the
wife, if he is married, her name should
be included. 1t is never good form
to send married man card of any
sort without one also to his wife.
