The Biz Words of Science.

Monstrosities of diction are not con-

IN physics as well as metaphysics. Says
the London Globe: We recently gave
some samples of the extraordinary and
absurd length to which the names of
certain organic salts had grown, and we
may now add the following choice speci-
men of imagery (from a recently pub
lished paper by Sir William thomson to
illustrate the grand style in modern nat
ural philosophy. ''The stream-lines, %

Should a Baby be Fat 4?
CFrom the Scientific American. I


While there is a measure of truth in
the assertion that fat babies are not nee
essarily healthy, the much quoted ex-
tract from physicians letter to Boston
paper is likely to do mischief by its ex-
travagant condemnation of fat. Speak
ing of fatty degeneration the physician
says:
"Most infants do become thus diseased
before they are twelve months old.
This stops the growth and leaves the
poor deceived parents nothing but in
crease IN weight to boast of; and when
the poor little victim to his own greed
and his parents folly gets to the end Of
his tether he melts away like butter in a
hot oven, and then it is seen how poor
Gin hesh) he had been all the time. Few
comprehend the broad difference between
flesh and fat. The first is lean meat
muscle-the result of growth; while fat
i don't care how hard and solid it may
be-is the product OF accumulation of
unexcretal excess. This is why no one
bets dollar on fat horse or fat man
they are soft and cant stay 1t is
every whit as true of fat baby. The
only wonder is that any infant lives days
from birth. Fed before birth but three
times day, he is after birth subjected
to ten or twenty meals in the twenty-four
hours. Before birth he grows at the
rate of about ten pounds per year, after
birth he is permitted to fatten at the rate
OF fifty pounds per year until chronic
dyspepsia or some acute disease inter
feres. Feel of kitten, calf, colt, or a
young robin-they are and remain while
growing but little more than skin and
bones and fur or feathers, because IN
able to get enough to fatts them, and
they never die-rarely have any sort of
disease. Children are never fairly out
OF the woods until they reach the lean
age and have pipe stem legs and arms,
with no roll of fatty tissue anywhere
about them. Could they be kept so
from birth and not permitted to over in
dulge, SO that their appetites would al
ways be reliable for plain food, they
would have no infantile diseases to enrich
our pockets"
Why should the kitten, the colt, or
the young robin be taken as a model of
infantile health. rather than the puppy.
the bear cub, the pig OF the young
pigeon? 1t is the nature of some ami
mails to be lean and healthy; Of others
to be fat and healthy; and there is a
marked difference in the natural tenden-
cy of young children. Infants of the
same parentage and fed at the same
breast, will differ in this respect and
both be healthy. Fat laid on at the rate
of 6 fifty pounds year " is quite anoth-
er matter, and one not liable, we take it,
to be common cause of anxiety. Iniu-
dicious feeding is more apt to show itself
in lack of fat, and lack of proper muscu-
lar tissue as we'll. That sort of leanness
is much too common in young humanity.

The Carolina Negroes in Indiana.

The thousands OF negroes who went to
Indiana year ago from North Carolina
and Virginia, have been absorbed, and
and are distributed all over the state.
The resident negroes supplied them
with clothing, furnished them temper
arily with food, and found homes for
them in the farming districts. Their
labor was needed, and they are doing
well. They are paying their own way,
except in the matter of public taxes, and
they are pretty well contented, though
the cold weather is trial to them.
They thrive on the SO hog and hominy, F."
that is the staple diet of the rural dis
tricts, and add to it many luxuries in
the form of nuts, rabbits, coons, and
squirrels. They. are social in their hab-
its, and fond alike of dancing, religious
meetings and political discussions.
Their children go to school, and the
next generation will have larger wants,
and also larger capacity for supplying
them.

SIX YEARS OLD.
By A. c. swINBURNE.

Between the springs of six and seven
To fresh years. fountains, clear
Of all but golden sand for leaven,
Child, midway passing here.
As earth for loves sake dares bless heaven,
SO dare bless you, dear.
Between two bright well-heads, that brighten
With every brea b that blows
Too loud to lull, too low to brighten,
But fain to rock, the rose.
Your feet stand fast, your Lit smiles tighten,
That might rear flowers from SHOWS.
You came when winds unleashed were snarling
Behind the frost-bound hours,
snow-bird sturdier than the starting,
A storm-bird fledged for showers,
That spring might smile TO find you, darling,
First-born of all the flowers.
Could love make worthy things of worthless.
My song were worth an ear;
Its note should make the days most mirthless
The merriest of the year,
And wake to birth all buds yet birthless
To keep your birthday, dear.
But where your birthday brightens heaven
No need has earth, God knows
Of light or warmth to melt or leayen
The frost or fog that glows
With sevenfold heavenly lights of seven
Sweet springs that cleave the SHOWS
Could love make worthy music of you,
And match my Makers powers,
HaG even my love less heart to love YOU
= better song were ours;
With all the rhymes like stars above you,
And all the words like flowers.

CUNNING Cat.

From the Carson Appeal
"A gentleman who took trip into the
country yesterday, when on the plains, a
mile from any house, noticed a cat, a
huge one, almost as large as a fair
sized dog. It was lying upon the
ground, its feet uppermost, in such a
way that he had no doubt that it had
fallen victim to some vicious dog.
Around it, feeding unsuspectingly, was
a lock OF small birds. The apparently
hfeless cat was within range of the Wis
ion OF the observer for some time, and
just as he was thinking how much
easier it would be for the animal to feign
death and catch a bird by deceiving it
than by slipping up to it, he was as
tonlshed to see the cat suddenly roll
over and grab one of the feathered tribe
that was very near. The other birds
flew away a hundred yards or so and
allghted. The cat only made one or
two mouthfuls of the game, and then
crept around to the windward of the
birds, laid itself out again, and once
more successfully played the dead
dodge. The gentleman drove away
without seeing how many birds it took
to satisfy the feline.
