Artificial Babies q Boon.

The Paris lie Sport describes an g ar
tifcial baby which is to be exhibited
at the great Exposition, and which, it is
claimed, is an American invention.
These babies are designed to promote
the convenience of travellers by rail
road. 1t is based upon the principle
that nothing is more yexatious than to
have disagreesble companions and
neighbors in the same compartment
when travelling. One occupies the cor
ner you had set your heart on, another
prevents you from stretching your legs,
third insists on shutting the window,
a fourth is not willing for you to smoke,
etc. The journey thus becomes tort
ure.
1t is to remedy this that the artificial
baby was invented.
1t is of india-rubber, clad in thick
as to deceive anyone. There is valve
in its stomach. Your neighbors have
not yet perceived it. You take it softly
from under your cloak, nurse it tenderly
and press upon the crying apparatus.
Instantly it begins to shrek. You show
anxiety and work the valve still more
energetically.
"Ah! poor little one! 1t has a fit!
Don't cry, my treasurer ETC., etc.
With these lavish caresses you all the
time increase the pressure, and the re-
sponses of the machine get sharper and
sharper until they become intolerable.
Your neighbors stop their ears; they
grumble, they protest-but what is to be
done? You ply the valve, the infant
no longer cries-it bowls. At the very
first station all your companions depart
in haste in search of other seats, and
you have the entire compartment to

The Story OF Maud Muller.

MAUD MULLER, as Whittier drew her.
was a comely young woman in briar-
torn dress and ragged hat, innocent as
to shoes and stockings, who helped her
father during the busy haying time,
hired help being scarce and high. This
was certainly commendable in Maud
though, as she paused in her work,
and, leaning on the rake handle,
glanced to the far-off town, she couldn't
help wishing that fate had cast her lot
different from a meadow lot, and that
she was a clerk in ninety nine-cent
store, or something like that. She
asked herself whether the life of a fe-
male book-canvasser was so very hard,
and wondered if any lady clerks were
wanted in the Postoffice.
While she is thus rejecting the Judge

Whittier doesn't tell us what he is
Judge of, though he concludes he is a
tolerably good Judge of rustic beauty,
for he drew his bride Cat some church
fair) and asked the maid to fetch him
draught of water from convenient
spring, although it was far into the
summer at the time. This she did, and,
blushing deeply as she recollected that
her shoes and stockings were cup to
the house." handed the cup to the
Judge, who gallantly remarked that
A sweeter draught,
From fairer hand was never Quatfed
Maud courtesied, and said that her
father considered her pretty fair
"hand in the hay field
The Judge fingered as long as he
could, talking about the weather, the
Silver bill, the Eastern question, chances
of his reelection to the bench, etc.,
ETC., to all of which she simply replied
Eyes, sir,' ''te-he," or something
like that, and when he couldn't make
any more excuses for lingering he rode
away. Maud looked after him and
sighed as she thought: 1.-The Judge is
just the kind of man I'd like to tie to-
Dressp | reckon not! I'd have new
gown every day, and two on Sunday
And dad should wear store clothes; and
brother Sam should have helmet hat
How about the Judge as he rode
away? Was he filled with "vague I'M
rest''? Certainly he was. He wanted
to adjourn court sine die, and, although
a little past the heyday of his youth, 90
a-haying with Maud from that time
out. But his feelings Mauderated when
he thought of his sisters, who were
society ladies, and what they and the
fashionable world generally would have
to say about it. So he kept on his way,
and opened court that afternoon the
same as usual, only the lawyers smiled
as they caught him humming an old
love song, " Swinging in the Lane"
The Judge got elected to the bench
again, and then he was elected for life
in another way; he married wealthy
but cold-hearted lady who moved (every

A correspondent writing from Lancas-
ter to the Philadelphia Press says that
recently, while phosphate agent
from Philadelphia was approaching
an apple orchard in company with
the owner, gray squirrel challenged
their advance. The man kept on to a
gate that entered the orchard, scarcely
needing the apparent command to
"halt." AS they neared the squirrel
house he made charge, with legs wide
spread and tail Haunting as he ran, con-
centrating all the terror of his little car
cass into the loudest squirrel war-whoop
and sprang upon the farmer. The agent
could only laugh at the harlequin move
ments of his comrade to shake off the
"varmint," which in real earnest had
commenced climbing him." Then
ensued a picture for comic weekly.
Both men, with hats in hand, were run
ming round, the countenance of one all
horror, while the other was indulging
in loud laughter. Both men and SPUR
rel tested their lungs for sound, while,
like very diminutive tiger, the latter
chung with tooth and nail to the farm
er's pantaloons. Eventually shaken
and beaten of, he took a position on
top of the gate as defiant as ever. Here
the agent gave battle with his hat, which
broke no bones, but seemed to afford
great pleasure to the besieged as he
lodged the blows. To act on the de-
fensive, however, was not the squirrels
style of warfare; in a trice he was on a
limb just over the gate preparing for
jump. The farmer had, however, Sc
cured stick, with which the assailant
was driven, step by step, through the
trees until he finally took refuge in an
old ice-housc. Last fall this same squir-
rel attacked laborer on the farm and
mutilated his face in horrible manner.

The New Dollar.

THERE is some satisfaction in the fact
that the new dollar bears the head of
Liberty, with long flowing hair and the
Spartan cap, instead of the full figure
which we have on the trade dollar and
the fractional coins. That gaunt figure
in its constrained and uncomfortable at
titude, holding night-cap ON a broom
stick as a signal of distress, is an I'M
pleasant object to contemplate, espe-
cially in cold weather. 1t might have
been judicious to omit for the present
the legend: "In God we Trust, for our
faith is really in the market price of
silver, which depends wholly on mum
dane influences. Boston Globe.

Fall River, Mass, the other day. A
