The Smallest Baby in the World.

Says the Carson (Neu.) appeal: A
gentleman who came here from Chan
delaria informs the Appeal that the
smallest baby in the world was borne
IN that camp on Monday noon. The
father Is miner in the employ of the
Northern Bell Mine, and weighs one
hundred and ninety pounds, and the
mother Is stout, healthy woman,
weighing perhaps one hundred and
sixty pounds. The child is a male. as
perfectly formed as human being can
be, but upon its birth it only weighed
eight ounces. Its face is about the
eize of a horse-chesnut, and the size of
its limbs can be imagined when we say
that ring worn upon the little finger
of its mother was easily pulled over
its foot up to the knee. Our informant
states that it was the opinion of the at
tending physician that the child would
live and prosper in good health, not
outstanding its diminutive proper
ions. The midget is so small that
three of its size could play hid and
seek in a cigar-box. This is believed
to be the smallest baby ever born.

Vegetable or Mineral.

A physician writing to journal of medicine,
not long ago, proclaimed against the use of min
eral polsous IN curing diseases On the ground that
in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred more
mischief than nefit was the result. In his prac-
tice he dispensed entirely with the use of mercu-
ry, etc., and attributed his success mostly to his
prescribing vegetable and herb medicines only
In the face of these facts, every invalid should
strength to the various organs f life by using
such a remedy as DR.. GuysOtt's Yellow D1ck and
Sarsaparilla. Its soothing and refreshing infiu-
ence will drive away AL physical and mental dis
tress. 1t is especially strengthening to the
urinary and digestive organs. 4 single bottle

The employment of asylum Iunatics
at farm and household labor has prov
ed to have beneficial effect upon
them; to induce more reasonable
mood of thought and action, less bois-
terousness and more good sleep. In
many English asylums restraint is
abolished, and sixty per cent. of the
inmates are employed in some useful
occu, alton. 1t has even been found
better not to lock doors and bar win
dows, as the presence of such safe
guards operates as an excitant upon
the minds of lunatics. During the
last fifty years wonderful changes have
been made in the treatment Of insane
persons, all in the direction of more
human care and less brutality. There
is just as much room for improvement
in the methods of treating criminals
and paupers, and fifty years more will
probat ly bring about great changes for
the better in their management.-Dr.

Ito have in every family tinder-box

tinder was too damp to be ignited, the
servant-girl had to run to neighbor

shovel full of live Goals. The only
matches in use were wood shavlngs
that had been curled up and dipped in
birthstone, but these were lighted from
a Undertook; even locOfoco matches
had not come into existence. When
by and by the latter appeared their
popularity was greatly increased by
a political incident. AT a meeting
in Tammany hall, Isaac l.. Varian
in the chair, and myself among the
vice-presidents, there was slight
row; rush was made to remove the
officers, which being unsuccessful, the
lights were put out to force an adjourn
ment. An active Democrat proceeded
immediatelo to light up by using loco
foco matches, which he had taken from
his pocket. By the aid of these
matches business was resumed (al-
though some of us the next day had
to buy new suits of clothes.) and in a
short time the whole Democratic party
was known as Locofocos. A tinman,

Charles Read.,s rue woman.


Walter Besant in the Gentemans Magazine.
Reade, in fact, invented the True
Woman. That is to say, he was the first
who found her. There have been plen-
ty of sweet and charming women in
stories, the patient, loving Amelia, the
bouncing country girl, Sophy Western;
the graceful and gracious ladies of
Scott; the pretty dummies of Dickens;
the insipid sweetness of Thackeray; !;
the proper middle class Tor upper
class) girl of Trollope; the convention
a. girl of the better lady novelists.
There have also been disagreeable girls
especially the bad style, deteStable girl
of the "worser lady" novelists; but
Reade-the trouvere-has found the
real woman. You will meet her on
every page of all his novels. What is
she? My friends, Columbus egg WIS
not simpler. She is just exactly like Il
man, like ourselves, but with
certain womanly tendencies. Like
ourselves, she ardently desires
love. She knows that it is the best
the absolutely best-thing the world
has to give; that we are all born for
love--man and woman alike; that to
lack this consummate and supreme
blessing is to lose the best part of life.
Since she desires above all things to be
wooed, and is forbidden to WOO on her
own account, she conceals her own
thoughts, yet, f.om her own experience
in hiding, she is quick at reading the
thoughts of others. She is satisfied
with nothing less than what she her
self gives, which is all herself. Her
reserve leads her, in the lower natures,
to deceit and falsehood, Her devotion.
which is part of her nature, leads her
also in the lower natureS-to suspic-
ion and jealousy. She is always in
the house, and therefore her mind is
apt to run in narrow grooves. The
prodigality and wastefulnes5 of men
are things beyond her understanding
or patience She is unversed in affairs
and therefore comprehends nothing of
com promise. She is generally ill-edu-
Gated, and therefore is incapable of
forming Judgment hence she is car
ried away by every wind of doctrine ;
as, for instance, in matters ecclesiastic-
al, knowing nothing of the early
church OF its history, she believes the
poor little Ritualist curate, who knows
indeed, no more than herself or in
art, where, for want of standard, she
is led astray by every fad and fashion
of the day, and worships sad-faced fiat
ness with rapture; or in dress,
where, her taste being uncultivated,
she puts on whatever is most hideous
and unbecoming, provided it is wore
by everybody else.
This is the woman whom Charles
Reade presents to us she is not at all
events insipid; no real women are; if
she is artificial, he shows the real
woman beneath. What he loves most
is the woman whom fashion has not
spoiled; the true, genuine woman
with her natural passion, her jealousy
her devotion, her love of admiration
her fidelity, her righteous wrath, her
maternal ferocity, her narrow faith,her
shrewdness, even her audacity of false
hood when that can serve her purpose
and her perfect abnegation of self.
