FEEDING THE CHILDREN.
MAKING A ROPE.
Building Up Diet Recommended by •
New York Physician.
Parents of young and growing
children will study with interest
the following possible solution of
the problem of what to feed them
on, prepared by Dr. E. M. Sill, a
New York physician, for the Med
ical Record.
Dr. Sill suggests this schedule in
compiling a diet for both healthy
and malnourished children: One-
half hour for breakfast, 7 to 8 a.
m.—glass of milk, baked apple or
orange; cereals—oatmeal, cracked
■wheat, farina, hominy, etc.; two to
three tablespoonfuls of one of these
cereals, with cream and milk; eggs,
one to three, according to the age
of the child, either soft boiled,
scrambled or poached or in the form
of an omelet, or a lamb chop or fish
for variety occasionally; one to
three slices of bread three-eighths
of an inch thick, with butter.
Ton a. m„ an apple, a bnnana, a
couple of graham crackers or a
Htnall glass of milk; one hour for
dinner, 1'2 to 1 p. m.—soup, bread
and butter: meats—rare steak, rare
roast beef, mutton or chicken (fish
may he given once a week). From
one-eighth to one-fourth of a pound
of meat should be given, according
to the age and capacity of the child.
Baked or boiled potatoes, with but
ter and salt or stewed with milk,
and a green vegetable, such as spin
ach, enrrots, string beans, green
'peas, cauliflower, squash, a puree of
dried soy beans or dried peas, may
be given three or four times a week
at this meal, or baked beans may be
given, one to two tablespoonfuls,
and this will in a measure take the
jplaec of meat; a glass of milk.
Hominy or rice may be given three
or four times a week (two to three
tablespoonfuls); a simple dessert,
6uch as plain rice pudding, plain
bread pudding, custard, blanc
mange, ice cream.
At 4 p. m. an apple, peach or
£ car may be given if the child is
ungry. Half an hour should be
taken for supper, at from G to 7
p. rn.—bread ami butter and a glass
of milk, or bread and milk, milk
with one of the cereals, bread and
butter with jelly, fruit juice or
sirup, a bit of cold mout or omelet
or scrambled eggs.
Th* Twist That Changed the Proceaa
From Hand to Machine Work.
There is nothing more prosaic
than a rope, or that enters into a
greater number of homely occupa
tions, and yet in the march of labor
saving invention a ropemaking ma
chine was one of the last on the list.
So long, indeed, did ropemaking
remain one of the manual arts that
the name of the place where the
work was done has become in
grained in popular speech, and the
rope factory, though in no way mer
iting the appellation, is still known
in some quarters as the “rope walk.”
Formerly it was considered a fact
worthy of note that the government
rope walk at Boston could turn out
a rope 1,020 feet long.
A young workman in a rope walk
saw that the twist should bo ap
plied to the rope instead of the
strands if machinery was to take
the place of the hand in ropemak
ing and realized fame and fortune
for the conception. His opportu
nity came with the proposition to
grapple for the broken ends of the
Atlantic submarine cable in the
sixties.
A rope fully 12.000 feet long was
required for the grappling, but the
task of making one of this unheard
of length could not be undertaken
seriously by any ropemaker then in
the business.
At this juncture John Good came
forward with a proposition to build
machinery from his own designs
and make a rope in one piece as
long as was wanted.
The offer seemed a bold one, but
was accepted; the machinery was
built, the rope made, the-break in
the cable found and repaired and
telegraphic communication between
the old world and the new estab
lished.—Harper’s Weekly.
JOHN LAW’S BUBBLE.
Auctions In Japan.
Sealed bids are used in auction
ing property in Japan. There is no
shouting. The auctioneer announces
to the audience that he has such
and such a piece of property for sale
and invites bids. Those who wish
to bid write their bids and names on
slips of paper. The paper is folded
and placed in a box. When the auc
tioneer sees no more bids coming ho
opens the box and sorts out the
bids. The highest bid takes the
property.
Witches In England.
There have been “witches” in
Norfolk. England, until quite re
cent times. A man who died in
1883 was one of three brothers who
had ducked an old woman in a pond
because she had a black cat and
wore a black silk dress on Sundays.
After a visit to a public house they
roused her out of bed one night and
“actually in the presence of half a
dozen other people who bad gath
ered to see the sport threw her into
a bole, where she would certainly
have been drowned but that some
who were not so mad as the rest
cried out that she was sinking to
the bottom and must be saved.”
Dr. Jessopp also vouched for the
fact that a man who was living and
master of an elementary school in
1882 bad believed himself in the
sixties overlooked by a witch, whose
blood must be shed to cure him. So
Ik 1 fell upon the woman and scratch
ed her arms till the blood poured
from them.
On* of th* Early Wildcat G*t-rioh*
quick Swindles.
The “Mississippi scheme” was one
of the famous get-rieh-quick bub
bler in the -.vorld’s history. Thou
sands of people in France were
swept to ruin in it, and the infant
king’s reign in its early years was
practically discredited by it.
This pioneer of get-rich-quick
schemes wns the work of John Law,
a notorious promoter of financial
bubbles and frenzied financier of
the period when Louis XV. ascend
ed the throne of France in 1715, at
the age of five years, under the re
gency of Philip, duke of Orleans.
At thirteen the little king was de
clared of age.
Law was the son of a goldsmith
of Edinburgh and early turned his
attention to the question of public
finances, always leaning toward the
spectacular. Presently he came to
be known as a skillful gambler and
juggler of finances. He was finally
forced to quit England for the kill
ing of an antagonist in a duel, go
ing to the continent, whore he lived
by his wits as a professional gam
bler until in 171G, when he landed
in Paris. lie soon ingratiated him
self with the regent, the Duke of
Orleans, who authorized him to es
tablish a sort of government bank i
and appointed him to the manage
ment of it. i
Soon afterward Law created the
Mississippi company, a monumental
J scheme fop the payment of the en-
j tire national debt and the enrich
ment of every person in France who
' chose to subscribe for it. The pro
moter obtained for his gilded enter
prise a water tight monopoly of the
entire trade of Franco from the
Cape of Good Hope eastward to all
i the other parts of Africa, to Persia,
India, China, Japan, and even to
the strait of Magellan.
The French people took to Law’s
frenzied scheme with a rush. They
put into it every penny they could
beg, borrow or steal. But one day
the bubble was pricked and every
investor in it went to sudden and
complete ruin. Thousands of fami
lies that had been rated as wealthy
found themselves paupers in an
hour. Law fled with all F'rance
howling maledictions at his luckless
heels. Ho became a wandering va
grant and died a few years later in
Venice.

“Right at Your Door’
Draughon’s Practical Business College Company proposes to
establish a branch college in Carrollton so that the young people
of this city and the surrounding country can get the benefit of a
superior business course at small expense.
The Draughon Company operates about fifty big business colleges, and is
now establishing colleges in some of the smaller cities, the only condition be*
ing that as many as thirty students are secured for these branch colleges.
In many places the number runs as high as 50 to 60 before the end of term.
Scholarships for the Carrollton college will be sold at much

Lobsters and Crabs.
Whatever it may he that the lob
ster and the crab, rapacious, never
dainty, are eating, they always see
something else that they want and
can’t wait until they have masti
cated the first before attacking the
second. But they don’t give up the
first, not by any manner of means.
Nature, humoring this rapacious
bent, lias fitted the lobster and the
crab with teeth in their stomachs,
r.nd they Rwallow their half masti
cated food and finish the chewing
process with their stomachs while
they seize and chew the other tiling
that has attracted them. Lobsters
and crabs have no teeth in their
mouths. They chew with their
claws what they have time to and
hand the unfinished job down to
their stomachs to do the rest of the
chewing.
The Marriage Fee.
Ideas as to marriage fees vary,
and it is not likely that the crite
rion of old Samuel Ward of New
York will he generally accepted.
“On the occasion of his marriage,”
we are told by bis granddaughter,
Mrs. Hugh Fraser, “he had been a
little in doubt as to the proper fee
to offer to the parson and, with
characteristic directness, asked him
what it should be. ‘Would you
think a hundred dollars too much?’
the reverend gentleman diffidently
inquired. ‘Sir,’ said Samuel Ward,
‘I should be ashamed to offer less
than $500 to the man who had
married me to such a wife!’ ”
Not Sweet Enough.
A superintendent of a city Sun
day school endeavored to give the
summer meetings added attractive
ness. Upon a certain warm Sunday
in August lemonade was served. At
the close of the serv'ce the superiu-
tendent announced that slips of pa
per would be passed and the pupils
allowed to make suggestions as to
j methods of making the meetings
still more attractive. One young
ster wrote, “Put more sugar in the
lemonade.” — Ladies’ Home Jour
nal.

Woeful Lack of Confidence.
A prominent actor tolls about a
Chicago theatrical woman about to
wed who was one day amusing her
self by going over the marriage
service. To a friend who discov
ered her, prayer book in hand, she
said:
“I always make it a point to do
this, for no matter how well you
may have known a part in the past
it should always ho rehearsed be
fore the piece is revived.” Then,
rather playfully, she read the words,
“Till death do us part."
Whereupon her friend inter
rupted :
“Ilow foolish that is, isn’t it,
dear? Sounds like one hasn’t any
confidence in the courts!”

stract theology, a politician who
makes me no promises, a visitor
who praises my wife’s cream puffs—

Life of Berlin In Three Streets.
From a staid old capital Berlin
has become one of the gayest,
brightest cities in Europe.
The life of Berlin is concentrated
in the streets, the Fricdrich-
strasse, Liepsigerstrasse and Unter
den Linden. Beyond these great
thoroughfares, ablaze with lights
and an immense concourse of peo
ple, all is darkness, and merry Ber
lin may be said to begin nnd end
within the limits of these three
famous thoroughfares. — National
