July.
From the Chicago Post.

July is the hot month, but nature al
lows few external evidences of heat. re-
serving her blazing colors until late Sep
TENDER and October, when she kindles
her fires with frost. 1t is in July. how
ever. that the first signals of the fau
are set in the fields. The golden-rod
blooms and the thought turns to the wan
ing Of summer. The field flowers are not
the only signs Of a coming change of
season. The redwings and the crow
blackbirds, footloOse of the cares of
housekeeping, gather with the young of
the year into flocks and forage in COM
pany through the fields. The goldfinch
and the cedar waxwing are the only birds
to reject until July the claim Of summer
to possess the land. These two ornitho-
logical exQuisftes lead q leisurely life all
through the early season and give no sign
Of desire for domestic duties until the
roin has its second rood on the wing.
The goldfinch is the fit companion of the
golden-rod, while the color scheme of
the waxwing fits it for any companion
ship nature has to offer
Household cares do not necessarily
keep the birds silent. In August they do
not feel like singing, and except for the
song sparrow, the red-eyed vireo and a
few other species they content them
selves with call notes. The robin sings in
July and so does the woodthrush, here
about at any rate. although the books
say it declines to sing after the passing
of June. July has in it something of the
spring and something of the autumn, but,
more than any other, 1t 10 summers own
month.

A Sugar Cane Harvester.
From the Technical World Magazine

Z Iom the ltSuHiCdi NOTiu AdgdLlue
In an effort to win a prize Of $1,000 of
fered by the Louisiana Sugar Planters
Association more than twenty years ago.
a citizen Of New Orleans has invented
a sugar cane topper and harvester. which
Is declared to be the first to he operated
successfully in the cane fields of the
south.
The machine. which is automatic is
propelled by a sixty-horsepower gasoline
engine. The eleven rollers in the upper
framework take the cane in a swath Of
width varying from one to three feet, ac-
cording to density Of the cane and thick
through these rollers, 1t is cut by knives.
set to the width of the rollers swath. One
man controls the entire machine.
AS the stalks are lifted up and pass
the rollers, all leaves are caught-in much
the same way that rotary brushes on a
street sweeper pick UP particles Of debris
from the asphalt-and stripped from the
cane. The top bunch of leaves also is
cut Off and the stalks are deposited on q
following or trailer wagon, all ready to
go to the crushers in the mill.
The emigration of plantation negroes
from the farm to the city is responsible
for the necessity for a mechanical cane
harvester, which was felt last year to
such an extent in the south that for a
time planters feared they would lose q
large percentage Of their cane crops. The
new invention promises to obviate all
such difficulties.

The Pilgrim Of Guadalupe.

From the Wide World Magazine.
The chapel of La Santisima Virgin de
Guadalupe Hidalgo stands on a hill. the
hill on which she first appeared to a
humble Mexican shepherd. six miles from
the heart of Mexico City, overlooking the
ordinarily small village of Guadalupe Hi

a century ago. the treaty which ended
the war between Mexico and the United
States.
The pilgrimage of these Indians
for this Is purely an Indian fiesta

year, the day which has been dedicated
to the special worship OF the Mexican
virgin. Owing to the long distances
over which many of the pilgrims are
compelled to make their way on foot.
the start from remote sections of Mex
leo Is made about the middle of August,
and as these most distant pilgrims pass
through the villages and towns on their
way to Guadalupe they gather the faith

Lest any Of these should miss the cere-
monies, the celebration lasts q full week.

New Conceptions Of Insanity.

From the Phliadelpnld Ledger.
BY Pennsylvania Quakers the first
lunatic asylum in America was founded.
This was the beginning of a philan-
thropy that did good where it was
most needed. The condition of the in
sane in the first years was too pitiable
for words. 1t was long tragedy, and
it was not until the present generation
came that the methods became really
humane and intelligent.
There is fine consistency in the fact
that the greatest thing ever done for
the so-called insane in America is due
to Pennsylvania, Henry Phipps of
Pittsburgh. What the Quakers began
more than century ago finds it's climax
in the dedication this week of the new
Phipps Psychiatric Clinic. He has given
of his millions to this institution, and
Sir William Osler has come over from
England to be one Of a brilliant COM
pany to take part in the program.
Here we have the new conception of
what should be done for the diseased
in mind. Old ideas Of insanity are swept
away. Those who are mentally iii
are treated as human beings who can
be cured. Psychiatry is a foremost
branch of medical science. The mental
disorder Is studied and the remedy is
found. The unfortunates are no longer
considered outcasts. but are led back by
gentle ways and unwearied care to men
tai health.
Changed, too. is the old type of insti-
tuition. Instead Of an asylum with its
horrors and unhappiness is the splendid
Phipps clinic. with all the comforts of
first-class hotel. with rheater and
gymnasium and elevators and smoking
and lounging rooms and every possible
a triumph in convenience;
fresh air and cheerful living. This is
the revolution in the whole PROPOSE

KEEPING COOL HEADS.
Women Near Simla Let Babies Sleep
Under Water.
From London Tft-Bits.

1t has often been claimed that the
lulling any one to sleep. but in India the
make their babies sleep by letting small
stream of water flow directly on their
little heads.
Such a means seems almost incredible,
and one might think colds and other all
ments would result that would kill the
babies. but apparently this novel liquid
lullaby has no harmful effects upon the
native infants, and they lie sleeping for
hours with a stream Of water flowing d.
rectly upon the tops Of their heads.
This is done by the native mothers in
the vicinity of Simla, in India There
the women do a great deal of field work
and must leave their babies alone. Few
of these women can afford caretakers,
and they resort to what they consider the
next best thing.
An example Of this was noted a while
ago when new road was being built and
many mothers were employed in some of
the work. There were little grooves or
resting places along the line Of the road
were seen numbers Of babies. Each rest
ing place was selected because of a spring
near at hand. The water from the spring
was carefully directed to the place where
the babies were lying. The babies were
placed with their heads on a pillow of
earth. and a stream Of water directed to
flow fairly against the top of the infants
head and trough was made for this
water to run off in.
Anywhere from three to ten babies were
thus lulled to sleep. depending upon the
size Of the spring and the quantity of
water in the overflow. Each stream was
about the size Of ones finger, and made
to run through little wooden spout, to
give force to the flow.
According to English officers who re-
ported this remarkable method of caring
for babies, 1t was quite successful. Never
were such quiet and well behaved babies
found as those under the spouts of water
The native mothers laughed at the sug-
gestiOn that such thing would hurt their
babies. and declared that, on the other
hand, it tended to make them strong In
fact. some OF the mothers declared that a
child not brought up in this manner would
be weak mentally as well as physically,
as they believed the water pouring on the
little heads actually strengthened their
brains.

The Rout Of the Money Germ.

From the Chicago Post
One of the marks of the amateur in
counting bills is an unrestrained habit OF
wetting his fingers with his tongue. This
has long given experts the fidgets and
has caused general installation OF
sponge cups. 1t is not tidy act nor fair

resources which might be conserved

danger of infection Is so slight as to be
hardly calculable. 1t appears that the
