visiting the various station houses Of the city often
oome In contact with some lost little ones Who nav
ing strayed away from home and not being observing
enough, ara unable to retTace their steps, cOnse-
quently they are brought to the station house to
await the arrival of some one from home. 1t does

that the station houses are the proper places to ap-
ply for their lost children; consequently they are
kept Tor hours sometimes nearly whole day. before
they are called for Children who are lost and not
aoie to tell where their parents live are almost in
VaHabiy taken to the nearest station house by some
che Acquainted with their condition. and if parents
| would apply at once. and there they might have
their loved ones restored to them in a very short
time, instead Of wearying out hours of anxiety for

restoring lost children is the Fire Alarm and Police
Telegraph, the office which is in the same building
as that of the Marshal, Holiday street. where ap-
piication can be made. Parents should bear this in
| mind and when child is lost, apply at once at the
nearest station house. or tho Office Of the Fire Alarm
and Police Telegraph, and thus have it quickly
| restored.
