The Small Arabs of New YORK


Thousands of the street children of New
York. however. have neither parents nor any
reonIar nlaces of abode to which they can re-
sort at night. In summer they are careless
and happy, for clothing is of no consideration
then and in some recess behind the open
door of tenement-house, on the erassess
spaces Of some city park, or amid the rub
bish of demolished building, they can roll
themselves away. and sleep the sleep Of the
wild ranger OF the cutters, to whom repletion
will bring no Nightmares, though his dreams
may be OF pumpkin-pies and other ambrosial
viands oil the remote possible. But in the in
clement nights of winter the sufferings of the
homeless little street Arabs are unspeakably
severe. Then they huddle themselves to-
gether in doorways, at the risk of being
spurned forth by some drunken lodger into
the petiag sleet, OF trodden upon by the late
and reckless comers 10 and fro. The great
iron boilers that stand out in front OF the
machine-shops, In some quarters of the city,
often afford lodgings for the night to these
shivering little sprouts of humanity. Others
may be seen emerging at early morning
from the weather-beaten stalls that cling to
the foot of some drowsy old market-building.
To-day it is Indian summer. The sun shines
genially through the warm November haze,
and here, in desolate park of the eastern
district OF the city many groups of small
street children are seen at play. They are as
cheerful as crickets, and as shrill. Several of
the nights just passed away have been bitter
ly cold, and we have had ice on the pools in
the bleak morning.
Many of the children-as | am informed
by a policeman-have passed these bitter
nights in such places as l have just mention
ed; but they have forgotten all their cars
now in the glad sunshine, and it is quite
likely that not one of them gives thought
as to how or where he is to lay down his un-
kempt head tonight. Here is one who is
wonder to contemplate, and he may be taken
as fair specimen of his kind. He processes
ignorance with regard to his age, but is adroit
at catching copper coins that are jerked to
him from distance of two or three yards.
Probably he is seven years old, but he is
stunted and dwarfsh for his age.
As for clothes-well, the newly emerged
chicken, with some pieces of the egg shell
sticking to it, is about as dressy as that small
Arab. A boiler was his bed last night. 1t
has been his bed every night since the hard
weather set in, and cold comfort must an
iron boiler be when off the boil. He has a
brother some years older than himself, and
this brother does something for his living,
and has coat,-a real coat with sleeves and
tail, and possibly a button or two with
which to loop it close, and he shares it with
the smaller shred of adversely, as they hud-
die themselves together with other boys in
the metal cylinder.-Atlantic Monthly for

Friend in Danvers he'd note against one of
his neighbors, the payment of which, by one
pretext and another, had been evaded until it
was nearly outiawed. The Friend finally
requested his debtor, if he could not pay the
principal to pay part of the interest, which
the latter did, and at the suggestion of the
Quaker endorsed IL on the note, but was
thunderstruck to find on being sued the next
day, that his partial payment and endorse
ment had constituted a renewal, and destroy
ed the chance of outlawry. He paid the debt
but cursed the Quaker. A short time after
this circumstance the debtor was driving his
market wagon through the town, when the
Quaker hailed the vehicle with:
What has thee got in thy cart, friend?"
With an angry scowl the farmer replied,

Speedy Cure of Whooping Cough /!


am not in the habit of taking advertised 7nedi-
cines, nor OF certifying to their curativeefects when
they come under my observation; bnt l feel con-
strained to make an exception in favor OF DoDDs
NERvINE and Invigorator, a medicine have used
in my family for some time past My little daughter
had been suffering from severe whooping cough for
night that-by excessive coughing and loss of sleep
her constitution and general health seemed to be
giving away. Various remedies or paIliatives were
recommended by intimate neighbors but nothing
was tried until our attention called by physi-
clan not now in practice to Dodds Nervie. This we
procured and commenced using at once-with an eff
feet immediate and surprising. As the convulsions
were hardest at night, we began by giving the Ner-
vine on her going to bed The first dose administer
ed made its impression; the cough became less fire.
quent, and very much less severe, she got her
accustomed sleep, rapidly revived in health and
vigor, and in few days was as well as ever. What
was left of the whooping cough was thereafter of
trouble OF course cannot but consider Dodd's
Nervine and Invigorator an invaluable romedy for
this distressing malady. 1 may add that 1 have
since recommended it to several family friends in
like circumstances and have found it in every case
to be equally successful. 1t needs only to be known
to come into universal demand.

WHOOPING COUGH.

DoDD's NERvINE and Invgorator gives agreea-
BILE and almost instant relief the spasms of Whoop-
ing Cough. This is complaint that all children are
expected to have; and when tcomes strange to say
they are left to fight it through they best can lit
tie or nothing being done to break its intensity or
help the sufferers along. And when it is reflected
that very many OF the diseases of older and adult
years have their origin in the tear and strain OF
Whooping Cough, this neglect would be utterly un-
accountable but for the fact that chdrens diseases
like many of the weaknesses of women consider
ed so much matter ofcourse that people have be-
come st ically unconcerned about them. Let them
cough it through, we did, seems generally to be
disease and Dodds Nervine and Invgorator treats
with COMPLETE SUCCESS. Mothers, TRY 1T, and
save your little the worst agony of this distress
ing affection. A sure and benefcent medicine.

Why Pain Paint stops all pain
And you may never have to say

PAIN PAINT will cool but never stain;
Pumps Inflammation out;
'Tis harmless on the breast or brain,
trial stops all doubt.
When Inflammation leaves the frame,
All pain will cease at once;

None doubts unless Ounce.
The pores will ope and drink PAIN PAINT;l
Absorbents fill with ease;
Restores the weak the sick, the faint,
The greatest skeptic Please.
Evaporation cools the place
As Inflammation flies;
Hot blood at the absorbents base
Makes PAINT in yapors rise
IT'S thus PAIN PAINT removes all doubt,
Removes the very cause
By pumping inflammation out;
On this we rest our cause
