Bran Beds for the Babies.

A French doctor has invented new
bed for babies which holds them safe in
its custody and prevents them from ever
giving any trouble at night to their at
PENDANTS. This gentleman has subjected
his system to the most trying of all tests,
for he has applied it TO all his own chill
dreh, and considers that the life of one
OF them Is entirely owing to its use.
The idea is to fill the greater part of the
cradle with bran aud immerse the legs
and part of the body of the child in this
nest, covering them over in the usual
way, but fastening down the counter
pane tight so as to keep him firm in his
place. Why this change of tactics
should have the effect of taking away
from the infant his usual desire to howl
during part of every night is question
which we will leave nurses to explain for
themselves after they have tried the sys.
tenn. In the meantime, until that trial
has been made, it Is only civil to believe
the testimony of Drs. Bourgeois and
Vigoureux, who, in two French papers
of some authority, declare that such is
the inevitable result. Thi, is not, how
ever, the only advantage to be expected
from the system. The bran is supposed
to have a warming and stimulating in
fuence superior to any sort of cotton or
cloth, and toallow children of the more
sickly kind to develop more quickly and
be sooner able to use their limbs. The
inventor OF the system declares that they
delight in their bran beds, and always
"quit them with regret" when remov, d.
ut the age OF 2, to one of different
kind. -LOndoa Globe.

Attempted Murder.

Sunday morning early, and just as it
began to grow gray in the east, after
the rain, DIR. Fairfield, of this city,
came very near being sent out OF the
world 10y an assassin's hand. While
sleeping at his room in his fathers house,
on Lincoln street, some owardly assassin
stepped up to the window, which was in
range with the bed, and fired revolver
at him, the ball passing through the win
dow into the bedroom through an open
door, and fiattening itself on the marble
of his commode. Mrs. Fairfield and the
doctor were both awakened from sound
slumber, not fully realizing what had
happened, and fell asleep again. A
search in the morning found twenty
two caliber ball fattened out lying on
the floor, and the hole through the win
dow. The doctor is at loss to under
stand the affair, not being conscious of
his having any deadly enemy as this
one proves to he. The neighbors, who
were up and within short distance of
the house at the time, did not think of
anybody being engaged in so mean an
act. and so the would-be assassin was
allowed to escape. From the appear
ance Of the hole in the window the per-
son must have stood close to it when
the revolver was tired.-Battle Creek

THE 200 young Cinnamon lately called
home from American schools and col
leges have had an unpleasant experience
since arriving IN their own country.
They have been put into positions not at

Many of them have been absent from

Heat of the BODY.

Our bodies necessarily generate heat,
the result of the chemical changes going
on at all times within. The amount is
immense, keeping the body well warmed,
though constantly throwing the heat off
ment between its production and its
waste, that the temperature of the blood
seldom varies from about 50 degrees
Fab. in summer or In winter, at the
equator or at the poles.
If the surrounding medium is such as
to take up the heat rapidly, the uncon-
scious appetite Graves that for it's food
whose chief Office it is to supply heat,
and at the same time tones up the sys-
tenn to its reader digestion. If the re-
verse is true, the body pours out upon
the entire surface a fluid whose evapora-
ton keeps down the heat, while at the
same time the appetite rejects fuel food
and Graves the n-stimulating, and es-
pecially the fruits that then abound /;
moreover, the thirst demands larger
supply OF water for the evaporating sur
face.
In most fevers this wonderful balance
Is lost. The result is dangerous amount
OF heat, resulting In destructive changes
of the tissues.
We add some suggestions

clothes furnish heat; they simply pre-
vent the heat generated by the body it.

should be of such a nature-light and

3. Fuel food-fat, sugar, etc.-should

a Fool and Her Money.

The wife of a prominent New York
politician, '1who began life Mt hotel, but
not as a guest" invited young man to
go shopping with her for camels hair
shawl. He contrived to inform an ac-
quaintance in the shawl department OF a
large establishment that if he wanted to
sell her shawl he must putup the price.
Receiving permission from his employer
to keep all he could get above $3.50, he,
with much fear and trembling, asked her
$3.50. SIS that the best you have?"
"The very best" She turned away and
said she was sorry, because she liked the
pattern. On telling her husband OF her
luck, he informed her that Alderman---s
wife got 81 900 shawl at another estab-
lishment, and advised her to go there.
She did so, and found there salesman
who had more "gall than the other
fellow. He asked her $3.50. She said
there was one for $3.50 at IS store,
but it wasn't good enough. She liked
the pattern. Rejecting moment the
clerk told her he had one left, but it had
been ordered sent to Mrs. Vanderbilt.
If it had not gone, she should have 1T
for 500 more than Mrs. Vanderbilt was
willing to pay for it. The clerk sent
over to the other store for the shawl she
had refused the day before. She said
it was very much like the pattern of the
one she liked, but any one could see
that it was far superior. The salesman,
saying she evidently knew a camel's hair
shawl when she saw one, charged her
81 900, and made the other salesman
mad as a halter by telling him of his
good luck and how he struck it erich. I"

turned from Mackinac island, where he
went in the interest of suitable summer
hotel accommodations. He had grounds
surveyed for private summer cottages
on the bluff overlooking the straits.
Adam Oliver. of Kalamazoo, the we'll
known landscape gardener, laid out the
grounds with winding drives and walks,
and the plans for the cottages and cen
trail dining hall will be submitted aud
adopted in few days, though it is not
certain that the work of building can be
completed in time for occupation the

that the railroads appreciate the neces-
sity of great hotel and suitable accom-
modations for the comfort and enjoy
ment of tourists. There is therefore
prospect that such an establishment
large enough for 1000 people will be
erected within two wears.

The Massachusetts, Legislature re-
Gently passed law to suppress and pun
ish adulteration of food and drugs, which
goes into effect in August. Its enforce
ment is intrusted to the State Boards of
Lunacy, Health and Charity. In drugs
any article is declared adulterated that
is below the standard in strength, quail
ity or purity; and, in case of food, if it
is mixed with any injurious substance,
if any essential ingredient has been alb
stracted, if it is an imitation of any
standard article of food, if it is colored,
coated, polished or powdered to conceal
adulteration, or if it is made to appear
of greater value than it actually is.
The State boards, however, are empow-
cred to exempt certain articles or prepa-
rations from the condemned list en-
braced in the provisions of the new law,
and to fix, from time to time, the limit
of variability permissible in any article
of food, drug or compound for which no
generally recognized standard exists.
The law compels any dealer who offers
for sale any article included in the list
to furnish samples for examination
whenever such are demanded by the Off
Gals of the boards, and imposes fine
OF $50 for refusal to comply with the
demand A similar fine is impOsed for
any violation of the act for the first Of
tense, and 800 or under for each sue
ceeding repetition of the offense. In
the matter of milk adulteration the law
makes it illegal to sell or expose for sale
milk produced by any sick or diseased
animal. All unwholesome vegetables or
meat are also interdicted under the new
law, which calls for an annual appropri-
alton of $1,000 to defray the expenses
incurred by its proper enforcement.

"SEvERAL of our friends in this city,"
says the Fall River NeWS, "have had
their sense of hearing diminished in one
ear from constant use of the telephone.
Persons who use this instrument are
apt TO apply the instrument to the same
ear every time, and the consequence Is
the organ is overworked, and slowly
approaching deafness in that ear is sure
to follow. Several persons in this city
who are affected by it have applied to
an eminent aurist in Boston, who re-
ports the cause to be as above de-
sscribed. He recommends that persons
who frequently use the telephone apply
the instrument alternately to their right
and left ears.
