JOSH BILLINGS ON BABIES.

Babys luv with all mi heart they are
mi sweetmeats. they warm up mi blood
like gin sling, they krawl into me and
nestle by the side ov mi soul like a kitten
under 2 cook stove.
| hav raized babys myself, and kno what
am talking about.
have got grandchildren, and they are
wuss than the fust krop to riot amung the
feelings. -
If could hav my way i would change
all the human beings now on the face oy
the earth back into babys at once, and
keep them thare, and make this footstool
one grand nussery what should do for
wet nusses don't kno nor don't care.
| would like tew hav Is babys now on
mi lap, and mi lap amt the handyest lap
in the world for babys, neither.
Mi lap is long ennff, but not the widest
kind ov a lap.
am good deal OF man, but konsist
ov length principally, and when make
lap ov myself, it is not mattrass, but
more like couple ov rails with n lint in
them.
| can hold more babys in mi lap at
once than any man in Amerika, without
spilling one, but it hurts the babys.
| never saw baby in mi life that
didn't want tew kiss am wuss than an
old maid in this respekt.
l hav seen babys that hav refused tew
kiss until they had been wasn't; but the
baby want tew blame for this, neither
waz l.
Thare are folks in this world who saw
they dont't low babys. but yu kan depend
upon it, when they waz babys somebody
loved them.
Babvs luv me. too. kan take them
out ov their mothers arms just az eazv
az kan an unfiedged bird out ov hiz nest.
They luv me bekawze luv them.
And here let me say for the comfort and
consoashun ov all mothers, that whenever
they see me on the cars, or on the steam:
bote. out oy job. they needn't hesitate
mnnit tew drop a clean, fat baby into mi
lap; will hold it, and kiss is, and be
thankful besides.
Perhaps thare IL people who don't envy
me all this, but it IL one ov the sharp-cut,
well-deiined joys ov mi life, mi low for
babys and their luv for me-
Perhaps there IL people who will call it
weakness, don't care what they call it,
bring on the babvs. Unkle Josh has al
ways a kind word and kiss for the babys.
| luv babys for the truth thare IL in
them, amt afraid their kiss will betray
me: thare IL no fraud, ded beats, nor
counterlits among them.
wish waz a baby (not only once
more) but forever more.

Steam Mysteries. exchange says

Steam Mysteries. exchange says
" Facts, we'll known to every practical en-
gineer, show that every little while a boiler
which, under apparently identically. the
same circumstances in every particular, on
one day makes steam enough, on the very
next day will not, and cannot be made, to
generate enough for more than light duty.
Train dispatchers occasionally find their
trains thrown into confusion from unex-
pected delays, and upon careful inquiry
into the cause, are informed that for some
unexplained and mysterious reason, the
engine men cannot make steam enough to
do their ordinary work" A few days ago
we had practical illustration of this fact, as
with no apparent reason for the trouble, it
seemed impossible to get the steam in our
engine TO give sufficient force.
