Wanted to Know, You Know.
CFrom the New York Times.l

A white-haired, shriil-voiced boy,
about eight years old, rode down town
with his parents on the Sixth Averue
elevated road yesterday. He gazed
curiously at two or three up trains which
whizzed by the one he was in, and in a
voice that sent thrill through every
person in the car, piped out: Spa, how
do these cars turn around ?''
They don't turn round, my SON;
when they reach the end of the line they
are switched from one track to the
other" answered the father sedately.
"Who switches 'em?" asked the boy
eagerly.
"Why, the engine, to be sure. :"
" The IDiin, repeated the questioner.

he pap"
eyes, yes; don't talk SO loud" said
the father, CURLY.
Ma" queried the boy, after mo,
ment's pause, "does he switch 'en. the
same as you and pa switches me
when [ don't do right %
The maternal relative reached for the
boy, wiped his nose, pulled his cloth
cap down over his eyes, and told him to
keep quiet.

A Mothers FirmneSs.
From the Artansa,v rrovo,or

From the Arkansaw Traveler.l
"COme here to me-" said a firm
mother to her son. 'tDidn't tell you
that I'd whip you if you went down
town."
"Yessum, standing ON one foot.
What made you go? Say /"
"'Cause, :" standing on the other foot.
Didn't you know I'd whip you ?"
Yessumo, showing by his manner
that he didn't.
"Im a great mind to wear you out.
Ii you go outside the yard again to-day
III whip you"
About ten minutes afterwards she sees
the boy playing in the street and calls
him. He comes reluctantly.
Didn't tell you I'd whip you if
you went outside the yard %
Sc Yessum. "
"Why did you do it?''
"'Cause.
"You good for nothing little rascal,
I'm a great mind to wear you out. If
you go outside this yard again to-day
I'll whip you, if it's the last act of my
life. Do you hear me ?"
"Yessum."
After while she sees him playing in
the street again. Calls him and says:
"NeVer mind. I'll tell your pa when
he comes"

ChildIeSs Paris.
From the London Times

The embellishments of Paris have had
the effect of making the city well nigh
childless. The tradesman who has his
shop on the ground floor and his sleep
ing rooms on the fourth or fifth story
could not keep children without losing
the services of his wife, whom he wants
to help him In his business. If he kept
children his wife would be obliged to
live upstairs, so he sends out his babies
to nurse as soon as they are born, with
the intention of letting them remain in
the country until they are 5 or years
old; and the ouvrier, who has generally
bat one garnet room up dozel flights
of stairs, does the same thing. The re-
suit of this is that more than 30 per
cent. of the children born In Paris die
IN the baby farmers hands before
reaching their second year. All that
the Assistance Publique has tried to
do toward checking this shocking waste
of life has been of little avail. Forty
creches have been instituted, but they
meet the wants of only small number
of mothers. A system for registering
and inspecting the homes of peas
ant women who take children to nurse
has been attempted, but the assistant
gets little help from parents of the work
ing class In contending against the "a
paeity of the baby farmers. A nurse
of whom no questions are asked charges
% francs a month for the keep of a baby;
those who are registered and so CON
trolled that they can only receive one
child receive so francs or more.
Thesef find their customers among the
bourgeoisie, but the working classes can
not afford to patronize them.

the list of persons in the employ of the
than living salary. With two-thirds
of these the amount is not more than
they are expected to spend, and not
more than they do spend. Afew OF the
heads of bureaus get 50, 900 a year, and
few postmasters receive about the
same; but of the whole 100, 900 of office
holders not one in ten gets more than
q bare living.

A PARIS, correspondent of the Phila-
de!pbia Times says, speaking of hotel
dinner: "The piece de resistance was
a good fat chicken, stuffed with fresh
truffies." We have seen similar chickens
in American hotels, perhaps not SO fat,
but there was enough resistance to pre-
vent any one of our teeth from being the
entering wedge to hearty meal. -Ieras

THE people of st. John, New Bruus-
wick, now have their choice of time, as
the old standard is still used there, and
railway time, which is thirty-six min
utes slower, and the new, or Western
Union telegraph line, which is twenty,
four minutes faster. The railway peo-
pie have taken the seventy-fifth meri-
dian and the Western Union the six

A CHRISTMAS DREAM.
BY ERNEsr w. aHnnrrrrr

at midnight in the city streets heard
A carol sweet by passing voices sung;
over the drifted walls the music rung
"hlle round the window-pane the SHOWS were
stirred.
Inc shepherds saw the star! such was the word
ILL each clear note from stormy distance sprung.
and silence fell the city walls among,
as at the ended song of some night bird
And then fell asleep and drearned Oazsd
Upon a msnger where child newborn
His pure, sweet eyes to mine with love appraised
ana there saw the Shepherds tired and worn
And as with them KIN cit in awe and praised.
The sun shone in my eyes-'twss Christmas morn.

Abusing q Privilege.

When in Taylor two weeks ago, we
stated to MI. McCullough's friends
that We were willing to give him a
hearing in the News, If he desired it,
the same as we accord to any person
who imagines himself or his friends
have been misrepresented in these
columns. OF course, when WI extend
ed this privilege to Mr.. Mccullough,
we had no idea he would SO far forget
the courtesy as to make his conmu-
nication the subject OF a low personal
attack OF the editor of the NEWS.
This We call cheek crystalized. To
abuse us, and then ask us TO lend our
columns to circulating such abuse, Is
something that requires more than
ordinary gall. For the information of
Mr.. Mccullough, we will state that it
is neither gentlemanly nor smart to
abuse a privilege accorded to him IN a
friendly spirit. If the gentleman de-
sires TO have his views go before the
public through these columns, he will
have to materially change his tone,
and observe the courtesies which
newspapers always insist shall gov
ern their correspondents. As Mr..
Mccullough is a novice in the bust
ness, we throw out these hints to him,
more as friendly advice than in any
spirit of criticism or anger. It is
hardly necessary to add that all Of
Mr.. McCullough's accusations against
the News are baseless and totally un-
true. The difference between Us is
simply this: We have endeavored to
give 10th sides of the O'Neil affair a
candid hearing; he can only see one
other.

In the District Court at Hamilton,
last Monday, in the cas- ofthe county

judgment was rendered in favor of the
defendants and all costs assessed to
the county. The Commissioners talk
Of taking the case TO the Supreme
Court. Better drop it, As it Is almost
SURF the county will never win the
case. We thought different when the
suit was commenced, but Judge Riyes'
ruling on all points leave little or no
hope for success in the higher Court.

formed they have quite an amount of
good ore on hand, and the run will
be a profitable one. There is one
feature Of DIR. Brooks company we
admire. IL always pays as it goes,
whether the money is taken out ofthe
mine or not. The company has a
number OF very valuable claims. and
the work has been SO divided up on
ali of them, that development has
been slower than il otherwise would
be. But this has been deemed neces-
sary To hold the claims and put them
in "a position to have them patented.
IN the near future we look for the
Brooks company to make such a
showing Is will compensate them for
their trouble and outlay.
