IEeln 10 yEotl.e.s Nursing Lnrnnts

Its conceded fact that mothers who
have the care, anxiety and draught Of
nursing infants are weak and need the
aid OF some strengthening tonic TO make
up the nourishment required for the
growth Of the clild. Ale, porter, and Ia
Ger beer have often been recommended.
OF late, since physicians have become
aware that the Port Grape Wine produced
by Alfred Speer,o of Passaic, Nj, lis strictly
pure they have prescribed itinstead of ale
and porter. This wine is principally
sought for by mothers who have nursing
infants ut the breast, as the best supply
ing medium to be found. The wine is
rich in body and not Intoxicating but
gently stimulating. Druggists generally
keep it, and sell it for Il dollar Il bottle

Getting Into the Wrong Bo,

Getting Into the Wrong Box.
Seeing Alexander II. Stephens carried in
TO the supreme court room, a.few days ago,
to argue case, | was reminded of an lpcl'
dent which occurred about five and twenty
years ago, when Senator Edward Everett ana
NJ. de Sart'e"., the French minister, resided
in djaCrnl houses on G. street. One evening,
as Il, uvs,s invited by NJ de Sar,iges to a
dit..l,r party arrived, Mr.. Stephens came with
them in evening dress. The polite French
man not having invited the well known Rep.
rcscntative from Georgia, asked him II he
desired to converse with him on any subject.
mo, thank yOu!" replied Mr.. Stephens, who
went on chatting with the other guests. NJ.
de Sartiges went to his dining-room, told his
butler not To announce dinner until that lii
tie gentleman III the parlor had gone, and re.
turned there.
After waiting quarter Of an hour, with a
full knowledge that his good cheer was being
spoiled, lie again approached Mr. Stephens,
saying:
''Meestare Steven, would YOU like TO see
ne about sumethin4?'
"No sir! No sir!" was the promp; reply.
and as the dlsconsolate host walked away
with gesture of despair, Mr.. Stephens said
TO the gentleman with whom he was convcrs-
ing:
''Whai does that impertinent little French
man mean by thinking that want to talk
with him ~
THAT was the reply, "is- our host YOU
know, and perhaps he invited you to have a
little chat with him before dinner"
"Our host" exclaimed Nj. Stephens" ,"why,
came here to dine with Senator Everett, Of
Massachusetts"
The joke was too good 70 be kept quiet, and
after Mr.. Stephens had lef, the guests at The
French legation in q roar, he created another
hearty laugh in Mr.. Everett's drawing room
next door, where the guests for another din
ner had been waiting his arrival He had
gotten into the wrong house.

Among he officers Of the brilliant court OF
the grand monarch of France, LOUIS NV,
was the Marquis Hugh de Vcrnic0uTt This
Marquis WAS of an ancient family, very
wealthy, and had proved himself "A brave ana
efficient captain on more than one hard-
fought field. In his sober moments, though
inclinedto he naughty and overbearing, he
could yet be a gentleman; but when the tunes
of the VINE cup had siezed his brain, which
was far too often the case, he was turbulent
and quqrrelsome, and his duels were numer-
Gus, so that in time il came 10 pass that his
companions feared and dreaded HIM. Feel
ing secure in his lordly estates, his high no:
billty exemptng him from certain penalties
which might have rested upon one Of lower
degree, he pursued his reckless and nebria,e
course for Il time unchecked.
At length, in a hostile encounter, the Mar
quis slew gentleman Of the Royal Guard,
whose friends made much complaint. De
Nernicourt appeared before the King, and
pleaded in eXtenuation that he was much
heated ut the time, and begged the royal par
don The pardon WAS granted with the addi-
tion Of severe repremand, aud caution for
the future. Butthe caution availed little. Be
fore long at,erward the troublesome Marquis
quarrcled with a gentleman Of the Cardinals
household, the result Of which was another
fatal sword thrust
Once more the nobleman was summoned
before the King, and his old excuse was offer
ed, and again h. implored the royal pardon.
Hugh de VernIcourt," said Louis, thou
art pardoned."
The Marquis would have expressed his
thanks but the King stopped him.
"Hold, Sir Hugh. We wish not for thy
thanks; for know that thou art not the only
one to whom we have extended our royal par
don. We have caused pardon 10 be pre-.
pared in blank, and have placed it in the
hands of our trusty minister OF police. Il is
for the man who shall kill ,Lee!'
The caution proved sufficient to the end dc.

A Curious Bird Story.

L. Page and son have been cutting wood on
Albrights place III the foothills, near San
Jose. They had noticed for several days that
a number of birds remained constantly upon
2 tree near them, some going and coming
from time TO time. Upon cutting down the
tree tLeN discovered limb with hollow
cavity, some two feet in length and three or
four inches in diameter, in which were two
full-grown birds of some goody species.
There was a small aperature through which
the birds were supplied with food from their
mates. The limb was cut and the birds lib
Grated. They were neither of them able to
tiy, having evidently never been out of their
imprisonment. How they came inside is q
question. 1t is more than probable that the
mother bird was small, and though able to
make her nest in the hollow of the tree and
rear her young, could not extricate them, and
they did not gain strength enough to help
themselves until the hollow had so closed
that escape was impossible Those who ex-
amined the birds think they are about two
years old. They have been fed from their
birth by their bird.fellows through the aper-
a.ure IN the limb of the tree. a nobler in.
stance of devotion even the human family
never exhlblted.-Sdn Jose (CGl) Kercury.
