4 Mite OF Humanity.


ing:
James Collins, a hack-driver, live:
with his wife and motber-in-law on the
top floor of the tenement house ii
Thompson Street, just below Spring
A very unusual event was reported from
MIR. Coilins's room yesterday, and max
ing an inquiry concerning it, the re-
porter asked Mrs. Collins mother
:. Have you any objections TO showing
me the baby"
Lord, sir, no. Walk right in" As
she said this Mrs. KONG, the grand
mother OF the baby, moved her rocking
chair around little and began to unroll
large bundle Of cotton-batting which
she held in her lap.
:" hope there is no danger" said
the World reporter. VIII it break? -
This was a natural question, but no.
body saw fit to answer il; and while the
grandmother rocked herself and nimbly
unrolied the cotton-batiing, the reporter
glanced over the apartment. 1t was not
much to glance over. Three-quarters
OF it was taken up by bed, in which lay
Mrs. Collins, 4 plump, pretty black
eyed woman of iive-and-twenty, who
giggled and said she didn't know how
il came TO be /" such a little one.n
"How much does it weigh?m inquired
the reporter, as the grandmother con-
tinued rapidly unrolling the cotton-bat.
ting.
Zone pound and ten ounces, sir; and
she is Just Is inches long when we pull
her out straight
The grandmother tirelessly rocked
and unrolled. The reporter never sus-
pected that the cotton-batting had
baby at the core, and his next question
was: "Where is it?'
q. In here" said the grandmother.
Dear me-" said the reporter; 81
didn't know il was dead"
:. 1t isn',- said the laconic grand
mother
The reporter was ashamed of himself,
and asked What color isit?'
Red said the grandmother. ''Look
for yourself"
The midget lay unrolled. No wonder
it was red. The centripetal force pro-
vcked in it by the nimble grandmother
must have sent its comprehensive blood
the stunled offspring of a Liliputian. Its
head was about the size of hens egg
and covered with thick crop of black
hair As her grandmother had said.the
baby was all red. She was attired in a
bib, which exposed her legs and arms
and neck, all of size, and about as
large around as the drumstick of Il tur-
key after dinner. Still the little Collins
had strength 10 curl her toes and to pat
up her arms above her head, though she
could not open her eyes. The reporter
laid finger on the child aud found the
skin of normal temperature. When he
had done looking the grandmother roll
ed her up again, and perhaps she is no
longer alive.
This remarkable child eats tea
spoonful OF milk and water and sugar
three times q day, and can cry Justify
when it is hungry. The doctor thinks
he can bring ii up. 1t is a five months
and eighteen days child, and is the first
Mrs. Collins has ever had. The mother
Is an American of German descent, and
the father is an lrishman. Mrs. Collins
is 6oingwell-a could be expected.

THERE were two Of them hanging
over the front gate the other night.
She was standing within the yard and
he on the sidewalk outside, both lean
ing on the top rail, and apparently as
happy as two pigs in a cornfield. He
was saying, snow, my own little

walk, and continued in different strain !:

crops SO much since we purchased Paris
