FROM SPOKANE, WASH,

Miss Ellen Johnson formerly a resi-
dent Of Greenfield and whose relatives
reside in that town, writes to this pa
per from East 307 Empire avenue,
Spokane, Washington, as follows:
1t is like the April weather of Sank
county here now. The grass is getting
green and the butter cups are budding.
1t still freezes during tie night but is
warm and muddy during the day.
Spokane is very pretty city and
a clean place. 1 am at present about
four miles from the heart of the city IN
an Episcopal church home for children.
There are p children here at present,
ranging from three to twelve yea is
Theie are only three under six and
who do not attend school. The house
is in the yard next TO the church and
the children all attend Sunday school
and the services every Sunday after
noon. All but The lhree-year old boy
go TO church. The children are taught
floor, wash their dishes and help wi b
the mending.
Sleep in Tents.
All but the three younger children
have slept in tents all winter.
My aunt, Miss Lizzie Scott, is the
matrom Of the home. Two of the chill
dren have attended dancing school
this winter and the class gave an en-
tertainment for the benefit of the
home. The children and all connected
with the home were given free seats
in the auditorium theater when it was
held. About $500 was made for the
home

THE BARABOO HOSPITAL.

The work of raising funds for the
Baraboo hospital goes on without in
terruption and the outlook is for full
realization of the undertaking.
Through the untiring efforts of Miss
Luise Gattiker and those assisting in
the work, about $4,000 has been
subscribed.
In Waukesha the physicians have
raised over S., 900 towards hospital to
cost about $4,000. The city council
of Waukesha has been asked to assist in
the needed improvement and the coun-
Gil has decided to submit the question of
voting money by the city, to the
people at the April election.
1t is the desire of those interested in
the Baraboo enterprise to raise about
$4,000. In order to secure this amount
it might be we'll to appeal to the coun-
Gil and the question could then be
voted upon at election time. The
need of a hospital is of so much inn
portance that the taxpayers should
not hesitate to vote few thousand to
help the good work along. Assist
ance from this quarter would no
doubt do much to bring to reality
the desired institution. During the
winter many have gone from Baraboo
and the surrounding country to hospi
tails in distant cities and many Of
these could have been cared for here at
home. Others have been sick who
would gladly have gone to an inslitu-
ton of this kind had there been one
easy of access.
Those who can, should help this en-
terprise. Baraboo already has better
public buildings than many cities of
its class but is lacking in this one
essential for the public welfare.

THE YOUNGEST CHILDREN THE

THE YOUNGEST CHILDREN THE
SMARTEST AND STRONGEST.
The ngest children in family
are the smarte3t and strongest accord
ing to an extensive investigation made
by Albert Jay Mock and reported in
the American Magazine. In MAORI.
ty of cases the first two children in q
family are not as able mentally and IS
strong physically as those that come
later. The author has investigate
and tabulated thousands of cases in
England to demonstrate the astonish-
ing fact
II is clear that this discovery is of
enormous significance to the people Of
the United States where economic
pressure has been reducing the size Of
families. Translated into plain Ian
guage, it means for the United States
that, unless the cost Of living decreases
and families begin to increase in size,
we shall have a weaker race, both men,
tally and physically. For this new
sta iStical science puts before us the
effect of a strange natural law of pri-
mogeniture. 1t shows that the physi-
cal aud mental condition of early
members of the family-first born and
second born-is sharply differentiated
from that of later members Where,
for example, tuberculosis, insanity
criminality anu albinism are found in
family, they are found to predomi-
nate tremendously in the first and
second born.
In England The size of families has
decreased. The cause was the passage
Of stringent child labor laws genera
ton ago. These laws made it lmpos-
Sible for children TO work in the fac
tories. This at once resulted in de-
creased birth rate, inasmuch as work
ing people could not afford to have
children unless the children could
WORK opd haconon an eoouou.io asset
This decrease in the size of families
was followed by an increase in tuber-
culosis, crime, insanity and albinism.
The Cation Laboratory took hold of
the matter and has produced in
documentary form the results briefly
summarized here.

THE FISHING SEASON.
Mild Spring Weather Will Soon
Bring Shad and Herring Into.
the Potomac. :

Preparations are being made by
fishermen IN the Chesapeake Bay and
its tributaries for the capture OF the
large schools of shad and herring
which are reported making their way
up the coast for the entrance OF the
Chesapeake Bay. Already a number
OF buck shad. which generally arrive
first, have been caught in The Poto-
mac and other rivers, and within the
next week it is believed the season will
be on in earnest.
The season this year is said to b.
about 10 davs late, owing to the recen;
cold weather and the heavy winds
which have been prevailing on the
coast. What shad have been offered
for sale in Alexandra have come
principally from tb, North Carolina
Sounds.
According to opinions expressed by
fishermen, the prospects are for a
profitables springs work.
The sbad live in the sea, but ascend
the rivers in the spring to spawn. They
have their spawning beds, but tho eggs
may he extruded anywhere promis,
cuou.ly in the water. One female
averages $4,000 eggs, although as
many as l5G, 600 have been obtained.
The eggs sink to the bottom, where
they hatch in from three to five days
varying with the Temperature OF the
water.
Local fishermen report satisfactory
results from their operations in Hunt
ing creek and elsewhere in this vicln
ity. Most OF the fish caught are yellow
perch, b lack base, catfish, etc.
