cult to fix upon the best of the prize metrical
charades by lady contributors, because between
four there was such eye1iness OF merit They have,
however after careful consideration of the seven
charades submitted, taken into account two ele-
ments, neatness of conception and eoncealment OF
the answer, and the metrical composition. Upon
the basis of these two your committee feels that it
must award the palm to "Polly," the answer to
whose charade is No-ah-Web-ster.

The New York ''Ladies' Stock and

June has been pre-eminently month
Of battles, and not few days in it seem
to have two and even three great bat
ties frequently occurring upon the same
day. On the LIST, Lord Howe defeated
and almost destroyed the French fleet
in 1874, and Napoleon left Paris to be-
gin the fatal campaign of 1915. One
of Admiral Blake's hardest sea fights
with Van Tromp commenced on the Sd,
and was prolonged during the whole of
the 4th, ending at length in the COM
plete triumph of the British flag. The
French capture Of the Mamelon earth
work at Sebastopol, one of the most
gallent exploits of the great siege, was
achieved on the 18th. The 10th gives to
Russia the double honor of Napoleoh's
defeat at Heilsberg in 1907 and the cap
ture of Khiva in 1873. The l4th has
the two-fold renown of Cromwal|'s final
defeat of Charles 1. at Nasty and Ma
poleon's equally decisive overthrow of
the Russians at Friedland. On the
same day occurred the less important,
though hard-fought, battle of Raab,
where Napoleon defeated the Austrians
in 1909. On the 18th (Which subse
quently witnessed the outbreak Of the
war of 1870 Napoleon gained the battle
of Ligny over Butcher, and Marshal
Ney indecisively attacked the English
at Quatre Bras The 18th has the faf
higher glory Of Bunker Hill. Waterloo,
Frederick the Greats defeat by the Aus
trian at Kolin, and the British repulse
before the Redan, at Sebastopol, have
immortalized the 18th. On the 10Th
Italy joined the coalition of 1866
against Austria The great victory Of
Plassey-by which Lord Cliye, defeat
ing, with 5000 men, force of more
than 10000, made England the mistress
of India-was gained on the 23d. The
oath marks the passage of the Nieman
by Napoleon in 1872; the 25th, the
Italian defeat at Custozza in 1866; the
Goth, the commencement Of the famous
"seven days before Richmond, )" in 1862,
and the invasion of Denmark by the
Prussians in 1864; the 2Sth, tie cap
ture of Silistria by the Russians, after a
gallant resistance, in 1929. To this
long list must still be added the earlier
tragedies of the Indian mutiny, several
of the hardest battles of the Crimean
War, and more than one of those which
decided the fate of Northern Bulgaria
in 1877.

Badgering Witnesses.

The court and jury as well as the
spectators, enjoy the scene when a law
yer, in an attempt to browbeat witness,
comes off second best in the encounter.
A correspondent recalls an amusing in
cident of this sort which happened few
years ago in an Albany court room.
The plaintiff, who was a lady, was
called upon to testify She got on very
well, and made favorable impression
on the jury under the guidance of her
counsel, until the opposing counsel sub
jected her to sharp cross-examination.
This so confused her that she became
faint and fell to the floor in a swoon.
OF course this excited general sympa-
thy in the audience, and Mr.. Smith saw
that his case looked badly.
An expedient suggested itself by
which to make the swooning appear
like piece of stage trickery, and thus
destroy sympathy for her. The lady S
face in swooning turned purple red, and
this fact suggested a new line of attack.
The next witness was middle aged lady.
The counsel asked:
odd you see the plaintiff faint short
time ago."

Peal after peal of laughter shook the
court room, in which the venerable Judge
joined Mr. Smith lost his case, not to
say his temper.

Scene at a Morgue.

On Monday night girl baby, about
month old, was found ON the stoop of
No. 2S9 East Nineteenth street. A
policeman carried her to police head
quarters, and she was tenderly cared
for by Nlatron Webb. Early yesterday
morning, as is customary, girl carried
her to the office of the Commissioners of
Charities and Correction, and a nurse
was engaged to take her to the Nursery,
on Randall'r Island. The nurse carried
the baby to wagon Of the department,
and on the way to the pier, at the foot
of East Twenty-sixth street, the infant
gasped, and appeared to die The wagon
stopped at the morgue, the bell was
rung, and an attendant who answered
the summons was handed the child, with
the information, ga baby that died on
it's way to the island" Deputy Coroner
Waterman was in the dissecting room
with DR.. Finlayson, Of Indiana, and DR..
Nolan, of Georgia. He was cleaning
his instruments, having just completed
a couple of post-mortem examinations.
The attendant laid the child on slab
beside a dead body. DR.. Waterman
saw the baby and asked Drs Finlayson
and Nolan if they could determine the
age of baby by examining the umbili-
cal cord. They said that their expert
ence was limited in this respect, and
DR.. Waterman, scalpel in hand, walked
up to the slab, and with professional
,oughness pushed away the limbs of the
baby and its little night dress, to show
the abdomen. A faint gasp came from
the lips, and DIR. Waterman's behavior
changed. "Why, there's life here" he
almost shouted, as he undid the strings
of tiny hood that covered the head.
"Here," cried he to an orderly, "just
arrange that shower bath in the dead
house, and Doctor'-to DIR. Finlayson-
"help me to get up artificial respiration"
DR.. Finlayson got cup Of water, and
while DIR. Waterman moved the arms of
the baby to introduce air into the lungs,
DR.. Nolan compressed the ribs and DR..
Finlayson threw water on the cLild's
head. Several minutes of energetic
work were rewarded by gasps from the
supposed corpse, and DR.. Finlayson,
while holding the girls tiny hands, felt
the baby fingers grasp his. Tie child
was then carried under the shower bath,
then plunged into warm water, and the
treatment was continued until she began
to cry plaintively; then a nurse was
summoned from the hospital and within
an hour the baby was taking nourish-
ment. The next evening she was well
and hearty, and there was dispute be
tween several childless gentlemen as to
who should adopt her. The girl is
pretty brunette. But for DR.. Water
mans desire to show Drs. Finlayson and
Nolan how to determine the time of her
birth she would have filled little pine
coffin and been buried in trench on
Harris Island.
