INVIGORATING THE BABIES.
"We find in the Sanitary Neics
of recent date a remarkable article
under the title of "Artificial Child
Incubation.1' At first the idea
conveyed to the ordinary mind is
that the subject is to be burles
qued, but a careful reading of the
article leaves the impression that
the matter is not only no joke but
a most interesting and important
reality. It must be understood,
in the first place, that there is no
principle involved in this so-called
"child incubation" that can in
any manner disturb or interfere
with certain ancient and satisfac
tory rules governing the increase
of the human family, as one might
suppose. The idea, is that, after
birth, the child is capable of
wonderfuld development bjT a
proper application of artificial heat.
The experiments that have given
rise to the discussion of the subject
are said, by the Glasgow Mail, to
have occurred in France, under
the supervision of Dr. Travernier,
who irabided the idea from arti
ficial chicken incubation. This
physician was attached to a hospit
al for foundlings, and was annoyed
at the large number of puny infants
that died on his hands before the'
were six months old. The ma
jority of the children received at
the hospital were weak and sickly,
and he resolved to try what arti
ficial incubation conld do for
them. He constructed an incu
bator after his own notion and
began a series of experiments the
result of which was indeed re
markable. The incubator was
a box covered with a glass slide,
furnished with a soft woolen bed,
and kept at the temperature of 86
degrees, Fahrenheit, by the aid of
hot water. He selected as e
object of his first experiment a
miserably-made infant, one that
had come into the world at an in
judiciously early period. This
infant was placed in the incuba
tor, provided with a nursing bottle,
and kept in a dark room. To the
surprise of the doctor it ceased to
cry on the second day after it was
placed in the incubator, and al
though it liad previously been a
preternaturally sleepless child, it
sank into a deep and quiet sleep.
The child remained in the incu
buator about eight weeks, during
which time it never once cried,
and never remained awake except
when taking nourishment. It
grew rapidly, and when at the
expiration of sixty days, it was
removed from the incubator, it
presented the appearance of
healthy infant of at least a 3Tear
old. Delighted with the success
of the experiment Dr. Tavernier
next selected an ordinary six-months-old
infant addicted to the
usual pains and colic, and exhibit
ing the usual fretfulness of French
infants. This child conducted
itself while in the incubator
precisely as its predecessor
had done. It never cried;
it spent its whole time in sleep,
and ijjgrcw as if had made up its
mind to embrace the career of a
professional giant. After a six
weeks' stay in the incubator it was
removed and weighed; during this
brief period it had doubled its
weight. It had become so strong
and healthy that it resembled a
child three years old, and it could
actually walk when holding on to
a convenient piece of furniture
So convinced was Dr. Tavernier
of the advantages of child incuba
tion, that he proceeded to con
struct an incubator of the capaci
ty of 400 infants, in which he
placed all of the SCO babes who
were then in the hospital. One
of these died from a constitutional
disease and another was taken
away. The others were kept con
tinually in the incubator for six
months, when they had to be re
moved because they had outgrown
their narrow beds. The result
will, says the Glasgow Mail, seem
almost incredible to persons wko
are unfamiliar with the reputation
of Dr. Tavernier and have not
seen the report made to the French
government by a select committee
of twelve physicians. "When the
ofeiWrsn were placed in tbe large
incubator their average ages were
eight months and three days, the
youngest being less than twelve
hours old and the eldest not more
than eleven months. The average
weight was sixteen pounds, but at
the end of six months the average
weight was twenty-four pounds,
"and," says the paper quoted
"there was not one that would not
have been supposed by a casual
observer to be at least three years
old."
In other words, six months of
Dr. Tavernier's artificial incuba
tion did as much in the way of de
veloping the foundlings as three
years cf ordinary life would have
accomplished. "Within one week
after leaving their hothouse we
are told, these children were big
and strong enough to walk. Here,
indeed, is something for people to
contemplate; and in these days,
while prize fighters are in such de
mand, somebody might with profit
go into the business of breeding
and "incubating" giants in com
parison with whom Mace's Maori
and the Salt Lake sloirger would
be as infants.
The Origin of the Name Texas.
On a subsequent visit Houston
told me the legend of the origin
of the name "Texas," as he had it
from an Indian chief. I wish I
could give his very words instead
of my memory of them. A long
time ago, when the Spaniards
overran and plundered Mexico,
some of the red men left them and
came towards the rising sun.
They crossed the Rio Grande, and
not knowing what lay before them
entered upon the great salt
marshes. They traveled many das
and found but little sweet water
or game. The weather grew hot
and the little streams dried up and
the grass withered, and many old
men and women and children died
of thirst. One day, after many
weeks of weary walking, a party
of young braves, who had been
sent ahead to reconnoiter, came
running back and said. "We
have found water come; on!" This
good news put new life into their
veins, and although nothing could
be seen but a dry, flat, bald prai
rie, the scouts were standing still,
calling and beckoning to them
and pointing toward something
apparently at their feet.
At length the' reached the spot
where the braves arc standing. Fifty
feet below them the limpid waters
of the Colorado sang a melody to
Heaven. Beyond, far as even an
Indian vison could reach, stretched
a great expanse. The tall mosquile
grass, yielding to the breath of the
gentle south wind, rolled in vast
billows of verdure under the
ardent summer sun. Little"islands"
of mesquite trees dotted this
srassv sea, and herds of buffalo
and deer grazed in peaceful ignor
ance of an enenvy's approach.
Forgetting hunger, fatigue and
even thirst in this delicious vision
the red men fall upon their knees
and cry out "Tehas! Tehas!'
"Tehas'is the nearest approach
I can make in English to the cor
rect pronunciation of Texas, and
means as the narrator explained
to me Paradise. A. J2. Jf., in
Philadelphia Times.
The lapse of a very few years
will show that the western plains
cannot be depended on to make
meat cheap forever. Cattle ranges
are no longer illimitable. The
day when an indefinite increase
in the size and number of herds
was. possible has already passed.
Stock men will have to begin very
soon filling up little chinks of ter
ritory instead of ranging at will
over whole counties and states.
The limit of the ability ol the
country to support beeves has not
been reached, but new and more
careful methods of ranching must
gradually be introduced. These
will certainly not be less expo
sive than the methods now
vocrue, so that the averajre annual
price of fat cattle must tend up
ward.

Made Them Even.
'Arrested for carrying a pistol,
was lie?" asked a magistrate of an
officer, referring to a gentleman
who had just been arraigned.
"Let's see the pistol." The
weapon was produced and handed
to the judge, who examined it and
asked:
"Where dii you get it?'
"Bought it at a hardware .store."
""What did it cost?"
"Fifteen dollars'
"Fine implement. How'll you
swop?" and the judge drew out a
pistol and handed it to the pris
oner. "Take 10 to boot."
"All right. I'll fine you $10.
That makes us even."
From the Blue mountains, near
Weston, to the Columbia river
forty miles on the west, says the
Xeader, there is an almost un
broken stretch of wheat fields,
which never in extent or promise
approached its present hopeful
condition.
A preacher, whose congregation
had begun to fall off somewhat,
had it intimated that he would
discuss a family scandal the fol
lowing Sunday. As a conse
quence the church was crowded.
The minister's subject was Adam

A species of spider has been
discovered on the African coast,
the long firm web of which very
closely resembles yellow silk, and
is said to be very nearly as good
as the product of silkworms. The
matter has been investigated by
the Lyons silk merchants with fa
vorable results, and there seems to
nothing to prevent acclimating the
insect in France.
