An Esquimaux Baby.

Several canoes loads of Esquimaux
came aboard while we lay here, some
of the women bringing their little boys
and girls, and babies, without seeming
to heed the weather. One little thing
that the proud mother held up for our
admiration smiled delightfully."-, expos
ing her two precious new teeth. No
happier baby could be found in warm
parlors, with all that the looms OF the
world can afford in the way of soft fab
RIGS, and with loving attendants to an
ticipate every want. She looked gayly
out at the strange colors about her,
from her bit of fur bag, and when she
fell asleep her mother laid her upon
three oars that were set side by side
across the canoe. the snow-fiakes fall
ling on her face, yet she slept soundly
for hours while 1 watched her, and she
never cried, All the youngsters had
to get little bread, which both fathers
and mothers begged for them, saying:
HE little fellow, he little fellow"
These people interest me greatly,
and it Is worth soming far to know
them, however Slightly. The smile. or
rather broad, small grin of that Esqui-
maux baby, goes direct to ones heart,
and is not likely to be forgotten. When
its features had subsidized into perfect
repose, the laugh como from its eyes,
and the lips closed over its two teeth, /
could make its sweet smile bloom out
again as often as I nodded and CHR
ruped to it. Heaven bless iti-C91Gise

It is not generally known, I believe,
that the famous garden known as the
Elysian Fields is only few doors out
of the beautiful Champs Elysee. Per-
haps some one will ask, And pray what
is the Champs Elysee? In reply, must
say it is Paris, France, the whole world.
There is no such avenue elsewhere on
the face of the globe, and all so-called
boulevards, no matter where situated,
pale into insignifcance when compared
with Elysian Fields of Paris. Every
one goes into Champs Elysee to talk
about the races, women, pictures, all
things interesting, excepting politics.
If you want to discuss politics. just
cross the river yonder by the bridge
built from the stones of the Bastile, and
under the shadow of the Palais Bour-
bon-where M. Gambetta lives, and
the Chamber of Deputies hold their sit
tings-there enjoy yourself as you
please: but in the Champs Elysee 3o-

folk and see the de1as-n7o9attGssse return

inclined cone through which q host of
carriages is constantly ascending or
descending. At the bottom Is the Place
de la Concorde, with its many monu-
ments and beautiful fountains, and its
lost part of the Egyptian god Osiris,
with the Garden of the Tuileries for o

Arc de Triumphe overlooking every
thing; and behind it the setting sun
shining in amber-colored tint, speaking
to ones heart in a language not easily
translated. Under the trees the prom

and girls with their nurses surround
the Punch and Judy shows; and,
strange to say, the uninterrupted. white
aproned young women in charge are
paying great deal more attention to
certain men in army uniform than they

Vaccination.

Probably at no time in the history of
the world have sanitary and hygienic
laws been so carefully studied as they
are at the present. Psychologists, have
made experiments upon the lower
animals In order to elucidate the causes
of certain diseases, hoping in this way
to discover means to prevent their
appearance, and lately most surprising
results have been attained through
their efforts, and there is a fair promise
that sanitary science viii enable us to-
entirely eradicate the more virulent OF
epidemic diseases. Lately the eficien-
cy OF vaccination as a preventive OF
smallpox has been questioned by some
medical practitioners, and this fact has
given rise to considerable discussion
among physicians The fact seems to
be that humanized vaccine gradually
loses its efficiency through successive
transmissions, and greater reliance
should be placed on the pure bovine
lymph than upon that from a human
subject. 1t must also be observed that
the immunity which vaccination secures
does not continue so long as it formerly
did. In Jenner's time It was thought,
and apparently with good reason, that
O single vaccination was sufficient for
a lifetime, but for some reason it is now
necessary to repeat the operation at
short intervals to preserve immunity.
Whether this is entirely owing to the
deterioration of the lymph or partly due
to an increase in the virulence of the
disease itself is not known. Probably
few are aware of how greatly the NOR
tality from this disease has increased
of late years among vaccinated persons
From 1919 to 1885 the percentage of
mortality was It's; from 1886 to 1852
it was 90; from 1862 to 1867 it had in
creased to 10, and now it is over 9 per
cent.-NeU York Times.

The Craze "a, Rad.

The rage cor red shows no signs Of
abatement during the dog days. and
the hotter the day the more turkey-red
and crimson dresses are to be seen.
Bold colors and audacious combina-
tons that would have stamped the
wearer as insane q few years ago. now
rule. Every style and complexion
pleases itself with raging garment,
and turkey-red cottons that were once
tolerated as a yagary fit for Mt. Desert,
are now sent over by French dress
makers covered with embroidery and
lace rnffies, and combined with every
imaginable color. A bit of red ribbon
on blue dress. or blue ribbon on a
red dress, give sometimes happy
touch of color, but anoverdress of blue
yelling and a turkey-red skirt are glar-
ing and angry masses that few can
look on. Hardly any costume escapes
the touch of red. and what with the
sashes, the silk stockings and mits that
go with the dresses, they are bound to
be frightened with it in some way. A
late fancy has been the use of the silk
pompons as hair ornaments: A Gre
tonne fan with hugo flowers on one
side, and a plain surface of red satin
on the other, mouned on oiive-wood
sticks, is the great fancy, and such a
one was waved the other, morning by
the lady who has the credit of owning
and wearing the most diamonds in Sar-
atoga. The dress of the lady was quite
as ultra fashionable as her fan, consis-
ting of French cretonne, with huge
and brilliant peonies the size of din
ner-plate, outlined on q background.
A basque of closely shirred red surrah
surmounted the wonderful peony skirts.
and abundant lace ruffies relieved the
costume slightly. hepeople gazed af-
ter the figure, as well they might, but
the lady lifted up her expensive dress
and walked off under the shade of her
red umbrella, wholly unconcerned.-
When this envied woman, whose cos
TUNES are beyond counting. appears in
all her jewels, a quiet little man is seen
to continually shadow her footsteps,
entering q room when she enters, and
following her closely through the gar
dens, and along the crowded streets at
night. To him is confided the lady and
her Jewels. Saratoga Letter.

they are all the property left by the de-

q son without rifle or seine with

burial customs of the tribe must not be

Arctic seasons, gradually go to decay.
