BACHELORS ADOPTING BABIES.

It's often seen adoption strive with na
ture;
And choice breeds
A native slip to US from foreign lands.
Shakespeare.
The fame Of a New York bachelor
has sprung up like a mushroom in the
night, because of his declaration that
every bachelor, be he wealthy or ever
OF moderate means, should adopt q war
baby. Its proper maintenance and edu.
cation should be carefully attended to.
Every whit as much attention should
be given to the waif as though It were
kith and kin.
The sentiment was a noble one. But
the bachelor who rushes to carry out
his theory should think twice over the
laudable undertaking. Great errors
seldom originate but with men of
great minds. AS has been said: In
all science error precedes knowledge"
To care for a weak infant, thrown up
on the world. is one of the greatest
charities which the mind can con-
ceive. There are two sides OF the
question to consider ere a man signs
his name to the written instrument
which gives a stranger the right to q
place In his home and all that he
may have toiled hard to accumulate.
A man may be a care-free bachelor
today, at the time he adopts q war
baby, but the question Is will he al
ways remain a bachelor? Destiny
-playe strange pranks with human be-
ings. No single man knows the day
or the hour when he shall meet the
one woman of all the world who Is to
make his life complete by marriage.
Is 1t quite fair to her that there
should already be an adopted heir in
his home? To most wives children
are given. There are some to whom
the blessing Is denied.
If perchance the war-baby was en-.
throned In such a home complications
might arise. Love which its little
heart hungered for might be denied
it. All of which goes to show that
the bachelor, in thinking twice, might
with good Judgment contract to pro-
vide for a var waif from his store OF
plenty, provide a certain amount for
its maintenance and education, until
such time as 1t was able to face the
world, armed with knowledge sufn-
cient to help itself. There his obliga-
ton could with all propriety cease.
The aged man could not be expected
to toll on denying himself and the
wife of his bosom necessary comforts
to launch a much younger G and a
stranger in business, or surround him
with a fortune without a tie Of blood
which would entitle him to 1t.
He who ponders well over both
sides Of the situation is wise.
Another set OF bachelors have hit
upon a different plan-that of found.
ing a school for the war-babies, in
which they will be we'll housed, pro.
vided for and educated until of age.
While his interest is still with the
child his liability ceases. This renders
it 80 that no child can lay claim to
any Of these noble, charitable bache.
lors. No wife could find fault with
such an arrangement. The husbands
interest is divided among many In.
stead Of centered upon one.

Wood Tar.

Wood tar, known also as Stockholm
and as Archangel tar, is principally
prepared in the great pine forests Of
central and northern Russia, Finland
and Sweden. The material chiefly en-
ployed Is the resinous stools and roots
OF the Scotch fir and the Siberia larch.
A large amount of tar Is also prepared
from the roots of the swamp pine In
North and South Carolina, Georgia and
Alabama, In the United States. The
process can be effected in two ways:
ID by stacking and firing as in the
manufacture OF charcoal; this method
Is wasteful as 1t is impossible to re-
cover the valuable b%y-products; and
(2) by distilling from retorts, ovens
or kilns. While the second is the
more economical method, 1t Is hardly
practical except on a large scale for
manufacturing purposes, as 1t involves
the installation Of an extensive plant,
retorts, c%ondensing apparatus, etc.
