The Baby-What a Man Has
to Say About 1t.

But as Tor the baby, whatever
rudimcntarv arts he may develop,
he dces not show the slightest
possible glimpse Of the develop
ment of Il moral sense. His no.
tions Of sleep arc simply inorc'-
nate. His times for awakening
arc the small hours, when al con
sc;entious babies are asleep. He
then displays i capacity for yell
ing which otherwise could hardly
be expected from so minute an IL
sect. At other times he rccllncS,
suckins his thumb in dim yearn-
ing after i pipe: or doubling his
fist in lively anticipation of lltc 5
coming struggles. y baby is gen
orally born looking extremely Old.
One almost begins to speculate
whether the P!atonic theory Of
rcminisccncc may not be true:
and whether this alleged baby
may not be some extremely Old
gentleman who has acted rather
badly in another sphere of cxis-
tence, and has another mundane
chance given him. Babies look
awfuIIy Old and wrinkled when
they arc born. Sometimes they
look ninety, but l have seen them
look as young as eight-and-torty.
In Q few days they throw off the
old existence, and arc fairly en-
barkcd upon this real sea of hui
man life, where they will have
rocks and shoals and quicksands
enough before they can come in
to any sort Of haven. And yet
thcro is something maddening
about i baby. Boswell is repor-
ted to have once said to DR.. John
son; Sir, what would You 90 If
You were shut up in tower with
a baby ?" I forget what the re-
sponse was. "Sir, yoa are q fool,
l suppose, or something equally
laconic and straightforward The
suggestion is an awful one, proba-
bly, an impossible one but still
the dread idea rccurs: 'N hat
would q man DO if he were Shut
u alone with 4 bahy?'

An INJURED HUSBANDS PRoTEsT.-An out
ragged husband at Cheyenne, Wyoming Terri
tory, where female suffrage and the political and
social appurtenances thereto appertaining are
recognized, denounces the female jury business
through the Cheyenne Leader, and in justifica-
ton offers pertinent scrap from his domestic
history His wife was summoned and impan-
neled as juror in an important case. When
night came, the case not being concluded, the
husband applied to the court to. have his wife
sent home, as there were several small children
there requiring her attention-the smallest, in
fact, being in starving condition, owing to the
fact that it had not been habtuated to the use
of the bottle. But the husbands request was
denied. The judge said the jury could not be
separated The husband then requested per-
mission to send the infant to its mother. This
was also refused on the ground that the law
does not permit thirteenth person in the jury
room, and there is no statute to show that an
infant is not a "person" within the intent and
meaning of the law. The desperate husband
then attempted to induce the court to send all
the jurors to his house for the night, but the
effort was failure, and the husband was in
formed that quarters had been provided for his
wife at the hotel, and that if he wished to speak
to her for moment he would have to take the
place of the cook. The husband went home.
How he got through the night is not told; but
when he learned the next day that the trial
was likely to last week he straightway pro-
ceeded to employ the best looking housekeeper
and cook in the county. At last accounts his
wife was still on the jury.

THE INSANITY OF SUICIDEs.-Some of the
scientific men of our day are trying to ascertain
if thoroughly sane person ever commits sui
eide. These gentlemen meet with difficulties,
some of the chief of which arise from the i'm
possibility of placing the suicides themselves
on the witness stand. They find it impossible
to get any but inferential evidence out of
self-destroyed man as to his mental status at
the time he killed himself Some queer facts
have been brought to light, however One man
had been told by fortune-teller that he would
die within three weeks; and having great
horror of death, he took a dose of strychnine
to escape dying. That man was clearly OF nn-
sound mind. His visit to the fortune-teller
showed that. Another case almost the reverse
of the above occurred in Paris. A man bent
on suicide climbed upon the parapet of bridge
over the Seine, and was about to jump into the
river when sentry pointed his musket at him
and threatened to shoot him dead unless he i'm
mediately came down. Singularly enough the
man at once came down, instead OF staying on
the parapet and achieving death at the hands
of the sentry without committing suicide.
Was that man in his right mind! A still more
singular case was that of old an bachelor, who in
a moment of weakness entered into marriage
engagement. On coming to what he called his
right mind this unfortunate man resolved to es-
cape the consequences of his folly by commit,
ting self destruction. Thus resolved he had
his razor aimed at his jugular vein when word
came that his fancee had eloped with younger
and handsomer man. Here was unexpected
deliverance but now mark the vagaries of
perturbed mind. Jealousy of his rival sue
ceeded to horror of his betrothed, and after
writing plain statement of his grievances the
bachelor resumed his razor and cut his throat.
