NEGLECT CAUSES DEATH OF
BOG. 1000 BABIES EVERY YEAR

An appeal to mothers, to women's
clubs and to all who may be interest
ed in the nations social welfare for
aid in the movement to safeguard
the lives of babies, was made in
Washington, ID. c., by Miss Julia c..
Lathrop, chief of the Federal Child
ren's bureau, in her first annual re-
port to Secretary Wilson, of the La
Dor department.
Infant mortality is a subject now
challenging the attention of the
whole civilized world" said Miss
Lathrop. 1T is impossible to state
with accuracy the infant death rate
measures because the United States
differs from other civilized countries.

was about 800, 90 babies under one

d%ividuals and communities, applied
those measures of hygiene and sani-

of infant life is due solely to indi-

Y AT HOME.

Don't shut up your home, lest the
sun should fade your carpets; and
your hearts, lest a merry laugh
should shake down some of the
musty old cobwebs there. If you
want to ruin your sons, let them
think that all mirth and social en-
Joyment must be left on the thresh.
old without when they come home
at night. When once a home is re-
garded as only a place to eat and
drink and sleep in. the work is be-
gun that ends i'm endless degradation.
Young people must have fun and re-
Taxation somewhere; if they don't
have it at their own h%earthstones it
will be sought at other and perhaps
less profitable places. Therefore, let
the fire burn brightly at night and
make the home' delightful with all
those little arts that parents SO per-
fectly understand. Don't repress the
buoyant spirit of your children; half
an hour of merriment around the
lamp and freight of a home blots
out many 3 care and annoyance dur
ing the day, and the best safeguard
they can take with them into the
world is the unseen influence of a
bright little domestic circle.

MINING DIAMONDS BY
MODERN METHODS

Machinery and barbed wire have
su%pplanted the crude methods of
breaking up Acknowledging blue
earth and protecting the valuable
finds employed 20 years ago in the
South African diamond mines, says
the March Popular Mechanics Maya
zine, The depths of the strange
crater-shaped holes in which the
peculiar diamond-bearing earth is
confined, is now penetrated by shafts,
reaching hundreds of feet down into
the earth, with 40-feet levels. The
broken earth is removed in closed
trucks to the surface, where, after a
season of exposure to sun and at
mosphere, strewn on the ground, it
is hauled to the mills. Here pulsators
finally locate the diamonds on grease
covered inclined tables, to which the
diamonds adhere, while loose sand,
earth and gravel are washed away
by water. Acres of ground, covered
by broken earth brought up from the
mines, contain possibly millions of
dollars worth of gems, and these
treasure-troyes are protected by high
fences of barbed wire, with intricate
arrangements at the corners and at
the gates. About 1000 miles of
wire are used in the defenses about
the Kimberly mines.

LABOR TROUBLES IN MICHI-

Here is where the railroad ends. 1t

We have heard this country spoken
of as "a mining camp" The term
was first applied in 1771, when a
company of Cornish miners began
work here, and the place has oc-
casionally peer called a camp ever
since. Descendants of miners who
lived here in the classic rear 1875,
are to be found here now.

This family lived in one of those
log houses that you have recently

ENeLAND's CURIOUS WELL

lts Water Never At the eams Level
For Two Consecutive Minutes.
Two miles out from Settle, N tho
main road between that town and In"
gleton, Yorkshire, England. there Is to
be found one Of the most curious Of
natural phenomena in the shape Of the
famous ebbing and flowing we'll Of Gig
gleswick.
A small. unpretentious little struc-
tpre, scarcely to be distinguished from
the ordinary trough Of water to be seen
on many Of our country roads, 1t Is yet
one Of the most quaint and fascinating
spectacles could hope to see. Az
the name implies, the we'll has the M.
ture Of q tide. It GIBBS and flows con-
tinually. though by no means with reg.
ularity.
Sometimes the privileged traveller
will see the oblong stone basin filed
with clear water; then. ever as he
gazes into its pellucid depths, the wa
ter gradually sinks until the trough is
half empty. Or 1t may be more. There
Is barely time to wonder ut this strange
thing ere. with d rush and a whirl, the
trough is again full. The ebb and flow
continue with more or less marked ef-
feet, and the water is never at the
same level for two consecutive min
utes. Sometimes the outflow has
scarcely begun before the basin again
fills, but at other times the trough u
almost emptied. ~ Wide World Maya.

Curious Antsatsrs That Train With
The Owls and Oats.
It is perhaps Just as well to know
what a pangolin is. although n is not
likely to meet It outside Of Africa or
the London geological gardens. The
latter establishment has one Of these
nre mammals and is very proud Of
it. This specimen Is Of the particular.
" rare variety with the rather inele'
CANT given name of white bellied."
The pangolin is q sort of anteater,
whose body IL covered with scales. Al
though it is a mammal, a stranger ask.
ed to make an ofhand diagnosis would
certainly call It a lizard.
The white bellied pangolln trains
with the owl and bats and sleeps dur.
ing the daytime. When sleeping it is
rolled up into an object 0bout the size
Of a large croquet ball. and in this po.
sit1on, owing to its plating o! pointed
scales, is about as easy to attack OF

pointed scales give it somewhat the

Its natural food appears to be white

chopped raw meat and eggs. 1t is ar.

Its clawed feet and prehensile tail.
