THE DATLY EXAMINER SEPTEMBER 11. 1897, pee = ‘NURSERY HYGIENE. |

The three prime essentials in the nurs- ery are fresh air, good food and pure water.

Aninfant’s thirst is not quenched by milk. It needs clean water to drink with regularity.

Always hold a baby in your arms when feeding it in about the same position as ii nursing it.

Rubber tubes, complicated nipples and nursing bottles are dangerous and should never be used.

Regular habits, proper food and long hours of sleep are necessary conditions to a healthy infant.

Have a rule for feeding the baby and do not vary from it. Without regularity the mother becomes a slave.

Light and loose clothing and frequent bathing or cool sponging are necessities for the infant in hot weather.

Plain, boiled water, given between feedings, will often aid the digestion and satisfy the child when restless.

Never put a bottle nipple into your mouth and then into the baby’s mouth. This will often prove dangerous.

Feeding at night after the third month is both inconvenient and unnecessary. Sleep at night is better than food.

An infant js # creature of habit and usually responds te the wish of the moth- er, if the mother has order-in her will.

More infants’ lives are taken by over- feeding than by starvation. Never liken an infant’s digestion or diet to your own.

Deo not feed the baby because it cries. This may be due to pain, and it is hurtful to fill an infant’s stomach at such a time.

Vomiting and diarrhea are indications that the child is either sick or approach- ing sickness, and probably needs a physi- cian.

Cholera infantum would be of rare oc- currence if proper attention was always given to the quality and quantity of the food.

A nursing mother who worries or who is exhausted or who indulges in excite- ment may become a source of danger to her infant.

Cleanliness as applied tothe body, the mouth, the food, the vessels, the clothing, the furniture, the floor, the carpets, the beds and the atmosphere should be strictly obser ved.— Medical and Surgical Journal.

A Millionaire’s Extravagance. An example of extravagance by a well known millicnaire who built him- self a castle in one of the English mid- land counties is reported by The English Iiiustrated Magazine. The water of the place was pure and sufficient, but a case of scarlet fever occurring in the village ata little distance from his residence he took a dislike to the local water sup- piy and at a cost of over $400,000 pro- vided himself with a fresh supply from & distance of 18 miles. Without children or wife and a great traveler, he does net inhabit his own country place for more than three months in the year. Although he drinks no wine, his water is an expensive beverage. Allowing only 8 percent on the money, with 1 per cent sinking fund, his water costs him $250 for every day he visits his castle. This supply, it should be added, js lim- ite2 to the one honse. There is real] no reason why it should be shared wit others, for the local supply is ample avd of good quality. ee oe

Greatest Speech

If I were asked to name the greatest speech I erer heard, I should select the one Jelivered by Colonel W. ©. P. Breckinridge at the little town of Athens, near Lexing ton, which the Kentuckians insist upon pronouncing Aithens, during his memor able campaign for renomination in 1894,

It was near of the campaign. The whole blue grass region had been ina ferment of excitement for three menths. The partisans of Breckinridge and Owen went heavily armed, expecting every min- nte something that would precipitate a general melee.

The sentiment in the Athens neighbor- hood was about equally divided between Breckinridge and Owen. The women there, as elsewhere tirough the district, were arrayed in hostile camps. Owen had made a speech in the town a few weeks be- fore, and the Breckinridge people had de- termined to eclipse, in point of attendance and enthusiasm, the meeting of the Owen followers. The day was sultry. The sun shone brazenly through asky unflecked with a singlecloud. The leaves hung limp

Antwerp’s Bells,

From the cathedral tower at Antwerp 80 bells have, for over 200 years, rung out music for the benefit of the people living on the green fields which border the Scheldt. Once a year, in the month the authorities select the music, and the organ plays every hour from the old masters of Christian song.

Athens. Colonel Breckinridge drove out over this breezeless, dusty road with an escort of mounted Kentuckians, who made the sultry air vibrant with their wild en- thusiasm. A carriage load of correspond- ents followed in the cloud of dust raised by the ruralcavalry. We were regarded with suspicion because we were careful to de- clare our neutrality.

Great hordes of people came pouring into the tewn from all points of the compass. A troop of handsome women mounted on gayly caparisoned and ‘high stepping Ken- tucky horses swept down the main street and out to the meeting place amid a salvo of shouts that shook the firmament. Men sashed and belted moved in columns like infantry at drill. Bright faced girls and rollicking boys marched to the roll of drums and screams of fifes. In the blaz- ing sun stood flocks of bareheaded women and coatless men chattering like so many geese. These were Owen’s local partisans, who looked sullenly on the Breckinridge followers, drunk with the hope of victory.

The speaker’s stand had been erected under a large apple tree whose branches spread oué to prodigious lengths. It was in the center of a 200 acre blue grass pas- ture. Fully 5,000 people crowded around the stand. They were massed closer than if they had been ina hall. Owen ‘‘root- ers’’ were scattered all through the throng.

For ten min- utes not a sound was made. Then his fol- lowers regained possession of their facul- ties and soon lost it again in roars of ap- plause. Sometimes he would have to stop talking for two or three minutes until the storm of enthusiasm had spent itself.

He had been speaking about half an hour and had reached one of those tremendous climaxes of which only those who have sat under the spell of his eloquence know the thrill. Women were crying and broad chested men were hugging each other in a Gelirium of joy. The correspondents, though trained to such scenes, had dropped their pencoils and closed their notebooks. They, too, were shouting and screaming like maniacs,

Gradually the noiso and uproar died away. Just as we were in that calm which follows a storm and Colonel Breckinridge had stepped forward tc resume his speech, there came shooting through the palpitat- ing air this defiant shout, in a shrill, pip- ing voice:

‘‘Hurrah for Owen!’

Men sprang from their seats as if from an electric shock. The women’s moans broke out in ahysterical shriek. The cor- respondents, with blanched faces, looked appealingly at one another for advice as to how to save themselves: from the fusilade which it seemed certain was coming. Breckinridge was the only calm person in that vast assemblage of men and women anxious te get at the insolent individual who had the hardihood at such a supreme moment to shout for Owen at a Breckin- ridge meeting. The colonel turned slowly and looked unconcernedly about him. Then, casting his eyes upward, he saw clinging to a limb not five feet above his head a small boy, who was grinning with the satisfaction afforded him by the effect of his shrill voice in giving vent to that defiant shout. Breckinridge smiled with hearty good nature, and with a graceful wafture toward the brazen little imp who Aad so rudely broken she effect of his tre- mendous climax, he faced the audience again and said:

‘* Ladies and gentlemen, I had heard this was a bad year for fruit, and now I know $6 4a,""

In a half laugh and a half cry the crowd gave vent toits feeling and the terrific cyclone of enthusiasm that ensued swept the impudent youngster from his perch into the arms of a covey of women, who had flocked close to the stand when they saw the author of all the excitement, con- fident that he would be torn to pieces if they did not protect bim.

When a man who has neglected his health finally realizes that he is being attacked by serious ill health it is no time for half- way measures. Death is an enemy that

must be knocked cut in the first

round, or he is pretty sure to conquer in the end.

A weak ¥stomach, an impaired di- gestion and a disordered liver mean that a man is fighting the first round with death. Unless he manages to strike the knock-out blow, it means that death will come up in the second round in the guise of some serious malady. When a man’s stomach is weak and his digestion is impaired, the life-giving elements of the food he takes are not assimilated into the blood. The blood gets thin and weak, and the body slowly starves. In the meantime the disordered liver and the sluggish bow- els have forced into the blood all manner of impurities. The body is hungry and eagerly consumes anything that ths Ged stream carries to it. In place of healthy nutriment, it receives for food foul poisans that should have been excreted by the bowels. Continued, this system of starva- tion combined with pecans. will wreck every organ in the body. Naturally, the weakest organ will give way first. If a man is naturally nervous, he will break down with nervous exhaustion or prostra- tion. If he tnherits weak lungs, the con- sequence will be consumption, bronchitis, asthma, or some disease of the air-passages.

The two most critical times in a woman’s life are the times which make the girl a woman and the woman a mother. At these times Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is of incalculab'e value.

JOSEPH LADUE,

His book reads

Ladue KNOWS whereof he writes.

The Land of ~~ Golden nuggeis

the pew Bonanza King of the Klon— dike Gold Regions, gives the facts. like “ The Arabian Nights” BUT Joseph He was the first man on

the spot when the first gold was discovere ! last August, 1896. He located one rich claim, and immediately purchased twelve

others at a low price before their value was known.

He has

refused $100,000 for any ONE of these claims, as they are rich with virgin gold nuggets beyond the dreams of avarice. Joseph Ladue then

Established Dawson City,

'at the mouth of the Klondyke and Yukon Rivers, by erecting

the first house in the region in September, one month after

the gold was first discovered.

He bought 178 xcres from the

government on the city site where his town lots, 150x450, me

now selling for $5,000 each. Mr. Ladue was fortunate enough to be successful in his

| trading post investments to have on hand ample capital to carry

out his plans, and there is no man living who is better posted on Alaska and the great North West Territories than Mr.

Joseph Ladue.

He has just returned from that cquntry to his

old home in Schuyler Falls, N. Y., where he passd a large

portion of his boyhood and eurly manhood.

Mr. Ladue left

his home nearly twenty years ago to seek his tortune in the West, going first to the Black Hills, where he was successful in gold mining, thence to Arizona and the Pacific Coast, and finally located in Alaska and the North West, where he has

covered almost the entire country since 1882.

Mr. Ladue is

a typical pioneer; strong, hardy ana resoluve—a man of iron as one must needs to be to go through the hardships he has and come out with a constitution unbroken and unimpaired at the age of about forty-three. Mr. Ladue has not only worked his muscies to good advantage to himself with the result of an abundance of the world’s goods far beyond the dreams of men, but he has evidently all his time been closely observing the conditions of that strange country—the Yukon Valley — which has so suddenly become one of the great centres upon which human interest throughout the world is focussed.

When the wonderful stories began to come down trom the Yukon country it was naturally concluded that it was at least

half exaggeration.

That any such amount o1 gold could be

taken in so short a time from a country like that under the

most untavorable conditions was held to be incredible.

But

when the great bags of virgin gold began to be poured out upon mint counters in San Francisco under the eyes of the whole world (fur modern journalism does this, annihilating time and spece), people began to wonder, and the wonder grew day by day as the reel facts were disclosed, and now people who are well informed as to the facts declare that half the truth has not been told of the golden treasures of the

Yukon Valley.

Aa we have already said, there is no man alive today who knows more about this wonderful country than does Mr,

Ladue.

reliable is the fact that his knowledge of it is practical.

What makes his talk of it specially interesting aad

li

has not been gained from hearsay nor from desolutory visits made now and then at certain favorable seasons of the year, but from steady living there through the long summer days and the long winter nights year in and year out for 15 years, where he now owns the best min ng claims on the Klondyke aud its tributavies.

In presenting his book to the public we do so knowing that it is by an authority on the subject of which he writes. His first work entitled

“KLONDYKE NUGGETS ”
