The Growth of Children

Dr. Percy Boulton, of the Samaritan
hospital, London, has made interesting
studies OF the health and growth of
children. Instead of taking the average
OF large number of children measured
once, he has found it more profitable to
measure number of children of normal
growth, brought up under average cir
cumstances, many times, thus ascertain
ing their rate of increase. The annual
rate OF growth was found to vary be-
tween two and three inches for each
child per year. The following working
table, though not exact, is an approxima-
ton to the statement of law. The
weight, it will be observed, normally
corresponds with the height, rising by
steps of one inch:

Feet. Inches. Pounds.

DIR. Boulton believes that when q child
varies more than quarter of an inch an
nually, or when his weight does not cor
respond with his height within margin
OF safety, put at seven pounds, the dan
ger signal should be put out Then it
is safe to conclude the ch1ld's diet is not
good, or possibly some disease is lurking
in his system. It is curious fact that
loss of weight always precedes the de-
velopment of consumption.

MedemoiseIIe's Lace.
Iron the Theatrel

/ once saw in Paris amagnifcent stage
costume, made for Nine. Judic. On
the skirt was the loveiest tablier of rich
lace | ever beheld. The dress was dis
played on account of that lace; and that
lace was worth perhaps, $3.50. For it
was paper, wonderfully stamped, and
presented chains of fuchsias, and look
ed just as much piece of real lace as a
Paris diamond by night looks an old
mine gem. Partisan actresses wear
that paper lace great deal; it is
though, soft, and very effective. To
wear costly lot of lace, which may be
ruined in a night, when S. worth of lace
paper looks as well, is considered the
height of folly by intelligent foreigners.

PERPLENTTY.

Oh what shall do for bonnet
1venothing 10 wear,
And the styles are SO queer
It's not want of variety
That causes anxiety;
fTis distracting to choose
'Mong the shapes and the hues
OF braids, straws and chips,
Red, brown and sage dips,
Bleached, unbleached and black
Of styles there's no lack.
The questions so vexed,
declare I'm perpleXed
With fruitless thinking upon it.
OIL what shall do for bonuetf
The springs almost gone,
And June's coming on,
And friend writes to me
My new bonnet to see.
What can blonde do
If she may not wear bluey
Only yellow and red
Are-now worn on the head;
But my cheeks would look Sallow
If set off by yellow,
And my hair would look ashen
If dressed in such fashion
It would not be right
To become such fright.
My old broad-brimmed hat
Would be better than that,
And I've half made my mind up to don It.
Oh, what shall do for bonnet
I've searched several hours
For suitable MOVERS.
Would hollyhocks do?
They are certainly new.
They are exquisite copies
OF sunfowers and poppies-
How would dandelions snitf
Or suppose have fruit
Ripe cherries and hops
Are shown in the shops;
might wear few punches upon It
Oh, what shall do for bonnetS
Shall tinsel chains dangle,
Or beaded fringe tangle?
Shall god-dust besprinkle,
Or black bugles tinkle,
With gilt balls on top,
Like pawnbroker's shopS
Or, perhaps, should take
A gilt spade and rake,
To show that my taste
Is simple and chaste,
As poets should be who writes sonnets
Oh, what shall do for bonnet?
Shall green lizards crawl
Or blue fies-over all?
Shall butterflies hover
To mark Natures loverY
Shall dragons surprise
With fiery glass eyes?
Shall brown beetles creep,
Or grasshoppers leap?
Oh, what shall adorn my new bonnet?

The Raymond.Him scandal.

Anent the Raymond scandal very important
point in the way of exculpatiDg Senator Hill
was tola to STAR reporter to-day. The infor-
mant, friend of the Senator. said that the affi-
davit OF Miss Raymond, charging Senator Hill
with her seduction, specified certain dates in
November, 1871. as the time when 1t occurred.
The journals of the Senate and of the Senate
committee on elections show that the senator
WAS here in Washington attending to his public
duties upon these very dates when aftiant al
leges he was in Atlanta, Ga. The Senate jour
nails are, of course, correct. The explanation
of THE STARS informant was this: The parties
who put up this scheme against Senator Hill
evidently went upon the assumption that Con-
greSS met that year as usual, upon the first
Monday in December; but it happened that an
extra session was called to meet on october 18th,
and Mr.. Hill was here then and right along
through the whole session" The woman Ray
mond has kept up her daily practice OF going to
the Capitol, varying 1t with an occasional visit
to Senator H1lls residence. She does not at.
tempt to enter the residence, but contents her
self with attracting crowd and talking loudly
to them. Senator Hill attempted to have this
stopped by legal means, but the police judge
decided that Raymond could not be arrested
unless the Senator would swear cut a peace
warrant against her. Mr.. Hill said he would
not do that; that he was not going to swear he
was afraid of woman, because he was not.
He only desired to have his family protected
against ANNOYANCE.
