SHOULD A BABY BE FAT?

While there is 4 measure Of truth in
the assertion that fat babies are not nee
essarily healthy, the following much
quoted extract from a physician letter
to a Boston paper is likely to do mischief
by its extravagant condemnation of fat.
Speaking of fatty degeneration the ply
stefan says:
Most infants do become thus diseased
before they are two months old. This
stops the growth and leaves the poor de-
ceived parents nothing but increase in
weight to beast of; and when the poor
little victim to his own greed and his par
ent's folly gets to the end of his tether
he melts away like butter in hot oven,
and then it is seen how poor Cr>tlesh) he
has 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 br--iS the pro-
duct or accumulation of uncxcretial ex-
cess. This is why no one bets 4 dollar on
u fat horse or IA fat man-they are soft
and cant stay 1t is every whit as true
of Il fat baby. The only wonder is that
any infant lives sixty days from birth.
Fed before birth but three times day,
he is after birth subjected to ten or TWEEN
ty meals in the twenty -four hours. Be
fore birth he grows at the rate of about
ten pounds per year, after birth he is per-
mitted to fat at the rate Of fifty pounds
per year until chronic dyspepsia or some
acute disease interfcres. Feel of kitten
calf, colt. or a young rubn-they are and
remain while growing but little mofe
more than skin and bones and fur or
feathers, because unable to get enough to
tatten 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 rolls of fatty
tissue anywhere about them. Could they
be kept So from birth and not permitted
to over-indulge, so that their appettes
would always 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 in
fantile health, rather than the puppy, the
bear cub, the pig, or the young pigeon?
1t is the nature of some young animals
to be lean and healthy; of others to be fat
and health; and there is as marked Il diff
ference in the natural tendency of young
children. Infants Of the same parentagc
and fed at the same breast will differ in
this respect, and both be healthy. Fat
laid on at the rate of fifty pounds
year is quite another matter, and one
not liable. We take it. to he Il common
cause of anxiety. Iniudicious feeding is
more apt to show itselfin lack OF fat. and
lack OF proper muscular tissue as well.
That sort OF leaaneSs is much too com
mon in young humanity.

A Mysterious Spot.

The following legend is narrated 10y
Edward Everett Hale:
There is spot Of bare sand near the
! border of the Moan: Auburn Cemetery
or was until recently-of which two
stories are told. May they not both be
true?" as the old Transcendental school
used to say of the accounts of the myth
of Juno. One account says squarely that
Quaker was hung there-aud that no
grass has grown there since. Another
account. equally reliable. land which
our fathers told,'' assigns the baroness
of the spot to Satanic agency.
The story in 1881 was this: That in a
former generation some under graduates
made bargain with the devil Proba-
bly, he was TO assist them in passing some
"lttle-go' or great go of the time.
Eventually and speedily the time for pay
ment came. The place was the sod at
the spot spoken of. Just in the crisis,
however, us their souls were to be wrung
from in payment for the shallow assist
ance given them by this prompter. the
president of the college appeared, having
been summoned by some faithful scout
The loyalty of his assistance to his err
ing pupils should be noticed. BY means
well known to him he exercised the place,
shamed the devil. and compelled him to
flee. He disappeared in the opening
ground-and up till 1880 no grass had
grown thereon again.
How is it in 1881?

ALBERTINA'S ALLEGATIONS.
In Which She Calls for $1,000 from Cha
Voss for Breach of Promise, Etc.

In Which She Calls for $1,000 from Chas.
voss for Breach of Promise, Etc.
Mr.. Charles Voss keeps lager beer and
free lunch dispensary, and the ct ceteros in
the drinking and smoking line found in places
of this kind, at 305 Robert street. He Is rather
short in statue, and possesses quiet though
rather cheerful temperament, and has, withal,
rather o winning way about him.
At least, so says Albertina Goetz, maiden
lady of So years. who by her attorney, Hon. E. N.
Rogers commenced suit against the quiet,
good natured and festive Voss, for damages
in 81, 900, for breach of promise, and injury to
body and mind attendant thereon.
The papers in the case were placed in
Sheriff Richter's hands yesterday afternoon,
and duly served upon Voss. In these, the
maiden Groetz sets forth that she is 3S years
old, that Voss is two years her senior, and
that during the month of August, 1881, both
were unmarried; also, that on the
10th day of August, under promise of mar
rage, the seductive Voss accomplished her
ruin, which offence he has often since repeat
ed, and that though she has always been
ready to marry him, as he promised and first
sought her to do, he has since gone and mar
ried another woman, on accuont of which
she has suffered greatly in mind and body, and
for all of which she asks that Voss shall be
adjudged to have damaged her to the extent of
1000. For a recently married man the COM
plant of the maiden GrOetz is by no means
pleasant reading.

Good Words for Judge Kidder.

The following, clipped from the Verm illion
Dak.) Republican, will be read with pleasure
by many old residents of st Paul, who have
known the gentleman TO whom it refers Sc
long and favorably: "The charge which
Judge Kidder de ivered to the jury in the Egan
murder case at Sioux Falls, is pronounced as
one of the finest legal documents ever pro-
duced in the territory, and met the hearty ap-
proval of the bar and ptople who heard 1t.
The Judge, possessed of fine legal mind' I'M
proved by years of experience on the bench,
coupled with gentleman and courteous
address, has become one of the most popular
of iudges and whose decisions are rarely re-
yersed by higher court. HIS friends feel
proud of him and his success"

A Queer Way of Doing Business.

People generally advertise their goods and
wares before they expect great rush; A. E..
Mellgren seems to think it pays better to ad-
vertise after the goods are sold. He selected
his Christmas goods with such exquisite taste
that he trusted wholly on the merits of the
goods and on the judgment of his customers.
1t seems he was not disappointed, as the entire
selection has disappeared, and consequently
his customers can rely upon having new and
fresh stock for their inspection if we live to
meet next Christmas, meanwhile he extends
his thanks and good wishes to all his friends
