A decent department decision
holds that a blind man cannot

The editor of a farm journal

piece of wholesome advice:
"Never make love in a corn field.

You should make an oat of this."
A man who has no time to read
the newspapers, says Press and
Printer, can usually find a little
leisure in which to buy an excep

ticularly choice variety of green
goods.
An exchange says: "The man
who has enemies amounts to some

bless our enemies. We love them.
They make life worth living.
liUFFOONEity and cheap witti
cism are sometimes effective un
der certain circumstances but
hardly so in the senate of the
United States. Senator Vest has
found this out in the failure of his
attempt to lessen the influence of
those democrats who voted for
protection by dubbing them "cot.
ton-tailed democrats."
Senator Vest's crocodile tears
have ceased to flow with reforence
to the Bugar features of the pond
ing tariff bill since the newspapers
callod bia attention to the f..ct
that the increase in the value of
sugar-trust stocks under his manip
ulation of the Wilson bill was
ten times as groat as it has boon
since tho Dingley bill was taken
up.

Business indications from all
parts of the country continue ex
tremely encouraging. This is
found both in the statements of
daily papers of all political classes,
and especially in the reports of the
financial reviews which make a
special study of the field through
the unusual facilities which they
have built up by long years of con
tact with business people in all
parts of the country. Dun's Re
view, whose statements on this
subject are accepted as an accurate
financial picture of conditions, in
its issue of June 19th announces
that the failures for the week were
but 198 as against 276 for the cor
responding week in the preceeding
year, and adds: "The gain in
business has become clear to all.
There is evidence of greatly en

An Unpopular Hatch.
The betrothal of Princess Maud to
her Danish first cousin, who is three-!
years her junior and not in the line of
succession, is extremely unpopular
everywhere in England. She is the
one member of the Marlborough house
family who is reputed to be above
mediocrity ' mentally, and the public
had the idea that she would do some
thing worth while in the marriage
market. Her choice is so disappoint
ing from every point of view that some
excuse skeins to be necessary. The
story has been started 'that her be
trothed is Russia's secret choice for the
Bulgarian throne, and that Ferdinand
is to be frozen out to make room Xor

Pulled Two Teeth for Revenge.
Dr. Dougal was a famous Scotch phy
sician, and as eccentric as learned. One
day a man came to consult him, in an
agony of pain, and, after an examina
tion, the doctor told the patient he had
an ulcerated tooth and advised him to
poultice the jaw. An argument ensued,
during which the sufferer cried out:
"What do you know about teeth?" At
this, the doctor seized a pair of for
ceps and Bhouted: "I'll draw every
tooth in your head!" The alarmed pa
tieut ran out of the house, with the
doctor in pursuit, who finally overtook
him in the market place, and took out
two of his teeth, in the midst of an inter
ested crowd.
THE BIGGEST CAT.
It Is Thirty Inchea Long and Weighs
Twenty-Fonr Fonnds.
J ust plain "Tom" is the unpretending
name of probably the greatest domestic
cat in the world.
Edward Simmons, a fish and oyster
dealer of New York, is the proud pos
sessor of "Tom." This giant of cats
ia 30 inches in length, from his head to
the tip of his tail. He is a foot high,
and weighed last spring 24 pounds.
The recent hot weather has caused him
to drop a few pounds of flesh, but has
not impaired his health or happiness.
Thomas is black and white, and is
rather peculiarly marked. lie has two
complete rings of white around his tail,
which makes him look like first cousin
to a raccoon.
Mr. Simmons picked up the cat two
years ago while walking along South
street. Thomas was but a stray kittea
then, so that his pedigree has never
been ascertained, and it is not known
whether or not heredity has had any
thing to do with his enormous size.
A Diamond Wedding.
An event at all times sufficiently rare

in this country, has taken place in the

Andry, amid the rejoicings of the whole
parish, celebrated recently their dia
mond wedding. The husband first saw
the light in 1810, and his wife was born
five years later. The cure who offici
ated on tbe occasion of the golden wed
ding of this happy old pair presided
again. M. Andry is still a hale and
hearty old man, and hopefully looks!
forward to still some years of married I
life, although his spouse is somewhat
feeble, and required the stalwart arm1
of a grandson, who is a non-commissioned
officer, to lean ou.

"He was incubated," the proud moth
er of some great man of the future will
say of her son. For the baby incubator
is a success and has come to stay. The
doctors declare that incubators have
already been the means of saving the
lives of one hundred infanta in New
York. In fact, the new-born baby who
under old-fashioned methods has no
chance of living, now, if put into an in
cubator, stands about an even chance
of becoming a healthy, crowing young
ster. Baby incubators are now in use
in two hospitals in the city.
A cozier place for a baby could not
be imagined, says the New York World.
Here the embryo citizens have every
opportunity the world affords to hold
on to life and to grow healthy and
strong, while in the tenements where
their parents live the lives of the frail
little things would have been snuffed
out in less than a day after they first
saw the light.
The incubator is used only for prematurely-born
babies and for babies
which are so weak that the wise young
woman doctors are pretty sure they
will die if left in the open air. Strange
ly enough, the incubator is shaped
something li'.:c a coiTH, -vhile its par
ticular.aini is to keep babies out of cof
fins. There are two kinds of baby in
cubators, and they differ somewhat in
construction. The babies are taken out
of the incubators at the Maternity hos
pital to get their nourishment directly
from their mothers, who live in the
building; but the mother in the Post
Graduate hospital may not see her off
spring from one week's end to an
other. Therefore the youngster must be fed
by artificial means, and, after much
experiment and study, the doctors have
completed au incubator by means of
which the baby is nourished without
being removed from its snug little nest.
The moment a baby for the incubator
arrives at the Maternity hospital the
white-capped nurses and the doctors
gather about the little wooden box,
which rests upon a stand some three or
four feet high. Baby is swathed very
carefully in warm clothes, and is then
weighed, clothes and all, before he is
laid inside and the glass cover is placed
over him.
Underneath the board upon which
the little mite rests are three bottles
that are kept constantly full of hot
water. The air passing in from below
flows over these and through an open
ing in the board into the chamber
where the infant is. A thermometer
;eeps the attendant continually in
formed as to the temperature, and a
little aluminum anenometer in the
small chimney through which the air
escapes, and which furnishes the
draught that keeps the baby supplied'
with fresh air, always indicates wheth
er or not the circulation of the air is
good.
The weight is a very important mat
ter. One baby in the incubator is
weighed every day. A healthy baby
should show a slight diurnal increase
in weight, and if the doctors find that
the diminutive patient is not growing
heavier they seek remedies for his in
disposition. This is the truest method
they have of ascertaining the baby's
progress, and therefore the greatest
care is taken that its clothes shall al
ways be of the same weight, as two or
three ounces is a considerable Increase
for a young man or woman whose ag
gregate weight is only six, seven or
eight pounds. About seventy per cent,
of the "incubated" babies have lived,
and at least fifty per cent, of these
would have died but for the incubator.
The incubator which will be in the
babies' ward of the new building of the
Fost-liradunte hospital is a great im
provement on that at the Maternity
hospital, although it lucks the senti
mental surroundings of the one in
charge of the young woman doctors.
The incubator is set upon bicycle
wheels, so it may lie moved about when
ever desired. The fresh air is heated
by passing between two strata of hot
water, rises up both at the hend and
the foot of the mattress and is kept in
motion by an aluminum fan run by
clockwork, thus preventing any possr
bility of the little patient's suffering
for want of air. 1 here is also a tube
for the supply of oxygen, liberal quan
titles of which are good for babies who
are hanging on to life by the merest
thread, and it is lielieved this improve
ment will save a great many lives that
would have been lost in the old incu
bator.
By means of a clever mechanical de
vice the weight of the baby is always
registered, so that the physician mat
discover the slightest varint ion at an
time. Infants are subject to tuWreulai
diseases, which develop before the doc
tor knows what is the mutter. Ot
course, the incubator muht Ik; opened
in order to feed the baby it. nrtitk'ial
food, but by mcuiis of a deft olkling n
the cover the entrance of nny eold itii
from the outsido is prevented. Th
temperature of the InsMe of the incu
bator is kept as near ninety-etgm de
grees as poMsible.
The Fost-tiradunte hot-pltal get more
subject for IncuimtorH than the Mn
ternity hospital, and the task of brng
Ing the little one by slow stages t
vigor and health is the more diillc 1
because the mother r.re not present V

PRIMITIVE WOMAN WAS NEW.
Indian Bellea Prove That the Flrat Pot
ter Waa a Woman.
The discovery near Maurice river, in
the neighboring state of New Jersey,
of large numbers of stone implements
used by Indian or other tribes in the
long gone centuries bring into notice
the primitive woman, eaya the New
York Tribune.
In New Jersey, as everywhere else in
the world, she appears to have been
industrious and energetic and ingen
ious. Among the implements discov
ered which she employed in prehistoric
New Jersey were flint knives, with
which she cut meat and probably veg
etables; flint scrapers, with which she
cleaned the skins of deer and bear, wild
cat and other animals, preliminary to
drying and smoking them for use as
wearing apparel; clay pots and pans,
pipkins and dishes, which she made in
primeval potteries, at fiTst the sun dry
ing them and thereafter burning them
in hot wood fires. The pottery shows
here and there artistic yearnings on the
part, of the unknown makers, more un
couth and rudimentary than those of
the ancient cliff-dwellers, but never
theless they disclose the artistic senti
ments and confirm the long list of ex
amples collected by Prof. Mason, of
Washington, showing that the first pot
ter, the first modeler, the first sculplor
and carver and the first artist was a
woman.
A MOUNTAIN MYSTERY.
Arizona Residents Puzzled by a Strange
Mountain Formation.
For the last half century the Ameri
can residents of Tucson, A. T., have
been trying to solve the mystery oi
what appears to be a hole through n
mountain peak in sight of the town.
In the clear air it looks to be only p.
short distance away, when in reality it
is at least 40 miles.
By the aid of a good marine telescope
the mountain can be brought to within
a few miles, but not near enough to
tell the exact nature of the rock forma
tion. A first peep through the glass
would lead one to believe that there was
no mystery about it. . The hole appears
as plain as possible, but several days'
study of the spot will develop the fact
that the hole does not always look the
same.
Many days when the sky is dark be
hind the mountain the hole will appear
a brilliant white, like a snowdrift, an?l
on days when the sky is blue it will often
look so dark as to be almost invisible.
These facts have led many to think
that it is an immense piece of mica ly
ing with its polished surface toward
the sky and reflecting the cloud forma
tions of another part of the horizon,
instead of being the light seen through
a hole. Viewed with the naked eye,
the hols simply appears as a whit
spot, but the telescope reveals pine trees
and other details, although very indis
tinctly. The range of mountains in which
the strange peak can be seen is known
as the Catalinas, and numerous parties
have made the attempt to climb it, but
all have failed on account of the steep
and rugged m-eclpices in the vicinity.
Copper In the Tlaauea.
For several years past the working
chemists have claimed that native cop
per may be found in minute quantities
m the tissues of every known species
of plant and animal. Since January 1
commission appointed by the British
Association for the Advancement of
Science has made 60,000 examinations
and chemical analysis by a great va
riety of procesises and has not failed
to find traces of copper in a single in
stance. They found it in the coloring
of flowers, in the feathers, beaks and
eyes of birds, in the human brain and
blood, in the blades, grains and roots
of wheat, in the scales of fishes and ser
pents, In short everywhere.
