The Babv's Photograph.

They were getting the baby's picture
taken, and while the operator was ma
nipulating the impression among his
chemicals the baby's attendants were
waiting in an ante-room discussing the
probability of the artist doing full justice
to his subject; there was the baby to
begin withthe brightest, sweetest,
handsomest baby in theworld father
and mother very young and very proud
of baby-its grandmother, who never
took her eyes from its angelic counten-
ance, its uneles and aunts and cousins,
and several unrelated personages, TO
whom the great privilege of seeing baby
have its first picture taken, was voueh-
safed. When the photograph man came
out of his den very much smirched,
with piece of black glass in his hand,
with several spots on it intended for
eyes, nose and mouth and pudgy out
line of round checks, each one gazed at
it with awe and admiration.

He could have Rugged the photograph

was so proud; but man does not like
to express all he thinks, so he kept
within bounds.
Then they squeezed the baby several
hundred times, put ON his cloak and
mittens and a comforter, and more COM
forters, and an afghan and leggings,
and when he looked like little Esqui-
mau they all fled after him, one with
his carriage cushions, another carrying
his toys. and all the rest with some
badge of slavery that belonged to him.

on the wall in a glory of smiling eyes

these kindred hearts are racked with
cruelty of possession, while yet it is the
dearest thing in the world to them. Be-

A Snail Match Against a Horse.

A curious match was made recently
in Paris, between horse and a snail,
for $4,000. The owner of the former,
a young count well-known in sporting
circles, backed himself to ride the ami
NAL from the Pont de la Concorde to
Versailles and back, thirty-eight kilo-
meters, or nearly twenty-five miles. in
two hours, while a wealthy Burgundian
backed the snail, ia the same period, to
crawl two metres and four-ffths-say
eight feet-upon the cushion of bill
lard table. According to the conditions
of the match, the backer of the snail is
at liberty to stimulate and steer it with
one fresh cabbage leaf sprinkled with
powdered sugar. Snail races have
been run in England before now, in the
fierce gambling times of a century ago,
but the contest between horse and
snail is someti ing new.

Industrial Rrevities.

Dandelions have become the fashion
able greens in all parts of the country.
They are being cultivated by market
gardeners in the vicinity of all the east
ern cities, and are served up in the lead
ing hotels and restaurants.
The attention of capitalists is being
directed to the mineral resources of that
portion of Manitoba between Lake SUI
perior and Winnipeg. It is stated by
practical miners that gold exists in pay
Inc quantities if the veins are properly
worked. LAUNDERING viii also be apay
ing industry in that part of the prov

German observations show that the
annual yield of milk rises gradually
from the birth of the first calf till the
fifth, reaches its maximum after the
sixth. sinks gradually until the tenth
calf, when it is about the same as at the
first calving, and, after the thirteenth or
fourteenth calf, is only one-fourth or
one-lifth of the maximum yield.
The historic big elm, in West Spring
field, Mass, one of the largest trees of
that region, has been cut down. Its
trunk was twenty-seven feet in circum-
ference at its smallest part. Herman
Dow, who planted it, has been dead
forty-five years. He was a prominent
farmer, and used to boast that on his
21st birthday, in 1916, he dug up the
tree in the Agawam river meadow and
bore it on his shoulders to the spot
which it has ornamented for the last log
years.
A rich find of gold is reported from
Victoria. Two prospectors in Gipp's
Land came upon a reef lately within
foot of the surface, which in few days
yielded from OF. to 10 OF. per ton. In
one day 40 or. of pure gold was secured.
1t is also said that some wonderful
stone, a ton of which will give. not less
than 10 cwt. of pure gold. has been dis
covered We may expect to hear soon
of this ..prospeH' being formed into

A Well-Trained Ear.

Kosciusko Murphy, vino is remarkable
for his large, generous ears, has had
falling-out with Miss Esmerdale Long
coffin, an Austin belle, toward whom he
had been suspected of entertaining mat
rimonial intentions. Somebody asked
him the other day why he and Miss
Longcoffin were not out buggy-riding
as much as usual, to which Kosciusko
relrlied that he did not propose to pay
bnggy-hire for any woman who called
him a donkey. Il can't believe that
Miss Longcoffin would call any gentle
man a donkey" was the reply. "Well,
she didn't come right out and say was
a donkey, but she might just as well
have said so. She limited that much.n

compliment from the Tribune which says: cdr. c.
