NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-The market
for pigiron in the eastern district last
week fell fat. Large buyers held or

to place a supporting contract for
25,00O tons of standard Bessemer iron

increased. Although railroads have
placed few orders for bridges, and rail
contracts have been only 10000 tons,
orders for cars are under negotiation,
aggregating $4,000 to 10000. The

New York Millionaire Celebrates
His Freedom With Party

Order for Supplies Shows Need
for Choice Wines and Viands,
Also Perfumery

In celebration of his divorce,
w. Gould Brokaw. the New York mil
lionaire whose matrimonial troubles
were aired to the country generally
last month, is now touring the United
States in a luxurious private car, sur
rounded by a party of congenial spirits
who are helping him to mark his newly
acquired single blessedness at an eX-
pense of $500 a day. Brokaw. with his
millions. friends and happiness, will
soon arrive in San Francisco.
Here he will restock his provisions
and wine, and then speed onward
along the pleasant trail of a private
car and $500 day. The party is now
in the Grand canyon roughing it at
$500 day.
ORDERS VIANDS BY WIRE
The Southern Pacific commissary de-
partment received orders by wire yes
terday to prepare for the advent of the
lately divorced millionaire, so that
there might be no delay in the eating
and drinking incident to an expendi-
ture of $500 a day.
Brokaw received his congo from the
matrimonial circles February 8. He
evidently had been expecting the de-
cision, for February / he and party
of friends. comfortably ensconced in
the private car Mayf1ower-the same
as used by President Taft lately. and
the most luXuriously appointed in the
country-rolled out of New York for
the grand sweep of the country in
celebra tion. BY the decision he was
ordered to pay $4,000 a year alimony,
but this was the least of his marital
expenditures.
Personal CARE OF KITCHEN
1t cost him $500 to defend himself
in the divorce proceedings. and now to
that sum he is adding 100000 more at
the rate of $500 day for so days. the
time of the trip. The car costs $50 a
day, and the rest is taken up in eating
and drinking and railroad fares.
Brokaw is connoisseur in regard
to his wines and viands. No chef cares
for him. He superintends. the order
ing and devotes personal attention to
the culinary department of his house
hold. His order to the commissary de-
partment here called for the choicest
of turkeys, rarest cuts of beef, lamb
chops. garden peas, special breakfast
foods, artichoke hearts. asparagus tips
special brand of rice, and lots of It,"
and list of wines and spirits that
would fit in with living at $500 day.
PERFUMED WATER WANTED
That Brokaw's party is really
"roughing" it in the Grand canyon is
evidenced by an item on the list sent
by him and which calls for bathing
toilet waters, dainty soaps and the
like.
1t seems that the millionaire and his
party discovered to their bitter chagrin
that the Grand canyon had not been
swept and brushed for their arrival.
thereby making an excessive use of
fripperies imperative. The requisites
are running low now, but with a full
stock taken on here Brokaw and his
friends will be in a position to brave
the dangers of the nigh impenetrable

which withdraws itself from observa-
ton, even as Providence conceals from
us all it's constant watchfulness and
care. This watchful non-interference
provides the environment, and only
steps in to sympathize, to answer ques-
tions, or to save the child from harm.
Ambitious parents, of the mental
temperament, read to their children too
much, instruct them too much, or in
some way meddle constantly, so that
natural healthy mental growth Is in
terfered with, physical development is
retarded and the individuality of the
child suffers. A wordy method of deal
ing with children is vicious; 1t con-
fuses the child and produces nervous
ness.
Moral and physical developments are
more intimately associated than moral
and mental growth. Teach a child to
carry himself well, to walk well, to
bring his body under control of his
will, and this physical culture wonder
fully aids in teaching him obedience
and rectitude; it is the very foundation
of character building. There need be
no anxiety about the mental develop
ment of children thus managed; with
very little direct teaching it will keep
pace with their physical and moral
growth. Nervous children should not
be sent to school-to such schools as
we now have-unt1l a good physique
has been acquired. Normal children
beginning school at the age of or 10
learn SO much faster than those en-
tered earlier that they usually quickly
overtake them. proving that children
generally are put in school too young.
In the old days of the little red school
house, going to school early did not so
much matter; for three to six months
in the year, with term of only three
months, did not act with the same
steady strain as the grind of nine
months by which most of the children
are now schooled.
Frequently, however, great mischief
has been done the child in infancy by
inconsiderate parent or nurse. Too
many of these treat the infant as toy,
a plaything, a pet animal to be stirred
up and put through its PAGES. The
father pounces on his offspring, tosses
it in the air, jumps it, trots it, makes it
