Next Friday afternoon all the good
looking and hefty babies in the city will
be in attendance at the Exposition
building in order to compete for Leu
bris's prizes. The babies of Memphis
will display more enterprise than the
old citizens, because they will erect u
fountain in Court Square, and get up a
fund to give public concerts for the peo-
pie. When these things shall have been
done every man will rejoice that at one
period Of his existence he was baby.
There are many astonishing facts with
reference to babies, physiological and
psychological facts but the most aston
ishiug one Of all has been noticed by
Dickens, who says: 1t is a pleasant
thing to reflect upon, and furnishes a
complete answer to those who contend
for the degeneratian of the human spe-
cies, that every baby born into this world
is finer one than the last"
