At Chicago, on Thursday, boy
named Louis Stern was accosted on the
street by an unknown woman In car.
riage and invited to get in and ride, as
she wished him to do an errand for her,
and would give him dollar for his
trouble. The lad, unsuspecting the
nature of the work he was expected to
perform, got into the carriage and was
driven off. When they arrived at The
fouudlinS hospital the lady stopped the
orse, handed him a covered basket
and requested him to take it into the
building. While the lad was waiting
for some one to admit him, the lady,
unbeknown to him, drove of. The
matron of the hospital opened the door
and not only took the basket, but de-
tanned the boy and turned both over to
the police. In the police court the boy
testified that he did not know the
woman or contents Of the basket, and
was very much surprised and confused
over the affair. After hearing all the
facts the justice concluded to name the
baby Mary Stern, and then remarked
"Young man, have decided to confer
an honor on you that many men of ma
ture age would be proud Of. give this
baby girl TO you as your daughter, and
trust that the honor conferred will be
appreciated. The boy left the court
in confused but apparently pleased
frame OF mind.

"HOme Hand Book Of Domestic
Hygiene and Medicine"

This is the title Of a very valuable
book written by DR.. ]. H. Kellogg, Of
Battle Greek, Michigan. 1t is the
result of several years work, and
judging from the advance sheets is
sued to the press and agents, it is
highly creditable to the author and
likely to take a permanent place in
standard medical literature. DR..
Kellogg has already a national reputa-
ton, which this last work will en-
nance. He is a member Of the
American Association for the Ad.
yaneement Of Science; of the Ameri-
can Public Health Association;
of the American Microscopic
Association; Of the Michigan State
Medical Association; of the State
Board of Health of Michigan; il
editor of the Good Health journal,
and author Of various works on Hy-
giene, Temperance, etc.
The book will be printed on fine
toned heavy paper, with substantial
and attractive binding. II will con.
tain 1900 pages and over 800 en-.
cravings, q Of which are
n
full-page Colored plates. From q
scientific standpoint, DR.. kellogg
treats Of the constitution Of man, aad
all the ills that flesh is heir to, in 8
plain, forcible style thatthe everyday
reader can understand. He discusses
Anatomy and Physiology, Hygiene
and Domestic Medical Practice, with
many subdivisions under these heads
He not only gives the causes and the
remedies Of disease, but devoteS large
space to the means of prevention.
There is no doubt that a compliance
with the laws of health adds TO the
longevity Of the human race. This j
better understood among the educated
classes of England and on the cont.
nent than in this country, and as a re-
suit VIC sec great authors, statesmen
Generals and rulers in their full
prime long after they have passed
sixty.
This book leads in the right dircc.
ton and is calculated to be a great
benefit to mankind. The State agent
for Arkansaw and Tennessee, Mr.. j. P
Hoffman, is in the city and will call
upon our leading citizens.
