Dr. Davis, in his introduction to this work,
points out that while the comprehensive
study of the laws of health must necessarily
be left to those who can give 1t the attention
and labor of lifetime, some of the plain and
simple laws thereto relating may be under
stood by any person of ordinary intelli-
genco at very small expense of time,
1t is to such as these, that he addresses his
book, and especially to girls, whose future re-

nearly with the physical welfare of others,
and whose own present and future are at

Ignorance than in the case Of their brothers.
The book, giving plainly and decenty some
simple information and directions, is worthy
of careful attention. Most of the suffering
in this world arises directly from ignorance,
and much Of it from ignorance that is crimi-
nal because unnecessary.

Tiny Travellers.

"Come here moment" said inspec-
tor Elchler, of Castle Garden, to a
Journal reporter yesterday. The re-
porter followed, and Mr.. Elchler held
up a little German boy about two years
old. ''This is the youngest chap [ have
ever seen who came across alone. 1t
is a common thing for parents to come
to this country and go West, and then
after they make a little home for them
selves to send home for their children.
There was a German and his wife who
came over about five years ago. A
friend of mine in Europe told them to
find me and [ would set them right.
Well, when they came here they told
me they had left three little children
behind with their grandparents, and
wanted to know if [ would look out for
them on their arrival.
i promised. A year after a little
fellow about five years old came up to
me, gave his name, and said his par
ents told him to look out for me.
''Where are your brothers?" [ asked.
My father could not afford to send
for us all at once, so we will come one
by one. +"
1.-Two and half years after the ar
rival of the parents the whole family
were united, and it seemed strange to
me to see those little fellows going
alone so confdingly to meet their ia
ther. The father is now mayor of one
of our Western towns"
''What is the average age of the lit
tie ones who come alone?"
''Well, about six years, although we
have quite q number coming here alone
who are between three and five, but
this little fellow, referring to the boy
he first called the reporter attention
to-''is the youngest [ have ever seen"
1T would be better for the children
to come unaccompanied, for the sea
captains are tender-hearted. When
they find children on board they take
them into their own cabins and give
them the best to eat and drink. A curly
headed little girl came from Sweden,
and she had one of those little flutes
which she used to play on board for the
amusement of the passengers. There
happened to be a lot of opera singers
on board and the child amused them so
much that they gave concert for her
benefit the night before they arrived
here and the little girl found herself the
happy possessor of SIP"
The little fellow whom the inspector
had been holding by the hand during
the colloquy now began to cry for his
dinner, and the kind hearted man
started for restaurant.

What it Meant.

4 citizen of the Third Ward, SAYS
the Detroit Free Press, usually reaches
home at late hour of the night, and
hiss better half has been at times con-
siderably exercised thereat. Upon one
occasion she made inquiry as to the
cause of the irregularity, when she was
informed by her lord that it was alto
gether owing to episode contingent
cies. The next day she appealed to
the elder male scion of the family, who
is pretty well up in ''book learnin, y for
instruction as to the meaning of the
phrase ''episodic contingencies" The
dutiful young man, with due gravity,
replied: 1T relates to an indefinite
aggregation of hypothesis, which may
not eventuate amid unfortuitous sur
roundings, but in the case we have at
present under advisement, my theory,
predicated upon undeniabIe truths
within my knowledge, is that the true
Specification is eleven glasses of the
extract of malt and a 'nightcap' fab

A New Industry,

There seems to be an eXOrbitant val
ne attached to small boys in Brooklyn.
At least such will be the universal Opin-
ion if the Brooklyn man who has sued
a school teacher for spanking his small
boy, and laid his damages at $4,000,
shou he be successful, Few persons
will believe that the man has been dam
aged to the extent of $4,000 by the
spanking of his small boy. Nc matter
how highly he may estimate hi; boys
services, it is unreasonable to suppose
that he was deprived of them for peri
cd sufficiently long to make his loss
equivalent to $4,000. Let it be con-
coded, for the sake of argument, that
the boy could not sit down for six con-
secutive months He could still have
rendered to his father all the services
which small boy is ordinarily capa-
bic of rendering, and the parents loss
would not have amounted to any ap-
preciable sum-much less to So, 900.
If the suit proves successful there
is not a boy in a Brooklyn school who
will not clamor to be spanked. At the
utmost the process of spanking cannot
be stretched beyond five minutes, at
least by any female teacher. If boy
can make $4,000 in five minutes he can
support his family in affiuence by two
yearly spankings. AS for the boy who
should secure a daily spanking-as al
most any boy of average ability and
conscientious devotion to duty could
do-he would make his father a mil
lionaire. 1t is hardly probable, how
ever, that the plaintiff in the suit now
pending will recover his $4,000. When
our courts estimate a mans life to be
worth only So, they can hardly with
consistency value the spanking of
small boy at $4,000.

Twins Who Married Twins.

There are two families living near
Gainesville, Ca, the members of which
are so much alike that many amusing
mistakes take place. The heads of the
respective households are John and
Lane Pasco. They are twins and dress
and look exactly alike. Two or three
years ago they married twin sisters,
who look and dress exactly alike. The
boys built two cottages that look exact
ly alike, and each lady has child
about the same age who look very
nearly exactly alike. All are in excel
lent health, and recently the whole
party drove to town behind span of
beautiful mules that were nearly exact
matches. The boys are partners in the
mercantile business and are in prosper
Gus circumstances.

It Was Contempt,

In the days gone by citizen of De-
troit who has lately been gathered to
his fathers was Justice of the Peace
for one of the townships of this county.
One day as he sat in his office with
nothing to do a friend came along with
a young horse. The Squar' was some
what conceited on the horse question,
and when informed that the equine be-
fore him would let no man ride him he
at once determined to accomplish the
feat. A crowd gathered, saddle was
brought, and his Honor presently found
himself astride of the beast. The next
thing he knew he was lying in muddy
ditch, and dozen men were laughing
to kill.
II declare this court in session."
yelled his Honor as he struggled up.
At this there was fresh burst of
laughter, and he continued:
''And each and every one of you is
fined s. for contempt of court. -
They laughed harder than ever, but
the fines were recorded and collected,
and for years after it was understood
that court was in session except when
the Squar' was in bed and asleep

The Engagement Ring.

About the happiest day in the life of
young lady says Puck, is the day up
on which she receives an engagement
ring She will hold her hand up and
look at the ring from all points and adj
mire it, and assure Adolphus that he is
Just too awfully nice for ANYTHING
for giving it to her. And she
always wears it that day no matter
what happens. If the ring is too large
for her she will ram bits of wood under
it, just as the boy puts branches of
trees and other things under his skate
straps to keep his skates on. And, after
she gets it fixed to suit her, she starts
out to call on her friends. They all
know before she arrives that she has
received ring and are on the Qut rive
They either tell her it is very pretty or
else they pretend not to notice it at ALL
in either of which eases the recipient
of the ring is delighted beyond descrip-
ton. Because if they compliment her
she thinks that they are affecting an in
difference to her good luck that they
do not feel, and that they would tear
her to pieces after her departure. And
if they don't say a word or notice the
ring the young lady knows that they
are wild with envy, and would give
their ears to be in her place And she
IS glad to think that she has DESTROYED
their happiness. And she calls on every
one she knows, and removes her gloves
at every house, even if she remains but
two minutes.

At the New York Farmers Club.

Capt. Cutie, with q poets license,
drew an original poem from lean
looking satchel, entitled can Ode to
Long Island Girls, " which he read to
the club, beginning:
Long Island girls with handsome face,
Ankles small and slender waist,
With frizzled hair and pretty feet,
Are Sweeter than the sugar beet
After reading about twenty stanzas
of this panegyric upon the Long Island
maidens he expressed himself somewhat
ungallantly of New York girls in a
closing stanza.
Before the captain could finish his
libel upon the New York bellies the
Rev. DR.. Paige who also answers to the
name of Gage-Sage-&-Peg, arose and
demanded to know what the stuff had
to do with raising wheat The chair
said he didn't know, but if Mr.. Gage
knew how to raise wheat he could sail
in and tell all he knew, saying: tMr.
Peg, please take the stand" When
the chair introduced the Rev. DR.. Paige
as the Rev. DR.. Sage, from Connec-
ticut, the learned DR.. Paige said he
was Baptist clergyman, with run
ming license to preach the gospel from
Nova Scotia to Ohio, in connection with
patent right for moving wells. That
the most he knew about raising wheat
was you could raise more per acre in
Nova Scotia than Ohio. Dr. Tremble
offered to bet him $1,000 he couldn't
DR.. Lambert said he would like to hold
the stakes. The Rev. DR.. Paige said
betting was for the carnal minded, and
he would get his substance in an honest
way; that he never knew the righteous
man forsaken nor his seed begging
bread. The tramps considered this
last remark personal, and adjourned
to the reading room for conference.

And the Daugate- and Her Mothsr Sill
Pursued Him.

The recent engagement of Boston
Young lady to v0ung man we'll known
in the social circles of that city, recall,
the amusing attempt OF the Young
lady 5 mamma. some time ago. to Sc
cure husband for her fair daughter
4 handsome young Boston bachelor of
wealth and education happened to pass
the same season at = summer hotel
with the designing mother, and feeling
that fate had thrown the Young man in
her way she proceeded at once to lay
plans for his capture. She hired a
small room adjoining her apartments,
fitted it up sumptuously and then
invited the favored young man to
enter, on the Spider and the Fly
principle She left them alone together
as much as possible, and even went so
lar as to hire equipageS and invite the
young bachelor to accompany them.
But all to no purpose. The gentleman
had rather pronounced views on the
subject of matrimOny and positively
refused to be caught. Summer length
ened into autumn and still the daughter
languished minated, when the gentle
man in an unguarded moment men
GIOhSu ludI uC was SOOu 10 take Il
Southern trip. Not to be thus eluded,
the mamma made plans for similar
journey, announcing that the gentleman
was to be one of the party. However,
the young man was too clever for
feminine Vaccinations, and was well
on his way before the lady was aware
of his departure. Nothing daunted,
she followed in hot pursuit and came
up with the fugitive in New Orleans.
Thence they went in company to
Florida, the mother feeling confident
that, under the seductive influences of
a tropical winter, her desired end would
surely be accomplished. But the heart
of the bachelor was adamant, and by
clever coup d etat he escaped once more,
proceeding north. Again he was follow
ed, and it was only after some very plain
conversation with the mamma that she
gave up the task as a hopeless one. A
little while ago she laid siege to the
heart of another young man, not so
skilled in the art of self-protection, for
he fell an easy victim to her we'll ar
ranged plans. Madame has another
eligible daughter in the field, and It is
rumored that a husband for her has
already been selected by the watchful
mamma.

The Two Darks.

At dusk when SAUNDERS gentle wand
Beckons to quiet fields my boy,
And cay, whose welcome was so fond,
Is 81 GIFTED like a rivale1 toy
When fain to follow, fain to stay,
Toward nights dim border-line he peers,
We say he fears the fading day:
1t IS the inner dark he fears?
His deer eyes, made for wonder. keep
Their r:sZe upon some land unknown,
The while the crOwdng questions leap
That show his ignorance my own.
For he would go he knows not where,
And II hard y know the more;
Yet what is dark and what is fair
He would tonight with me explore.
Upon the shoals of my poor creed
His plummet falls, but cannot rest;
To sound the sOundlcss is his need,
To find the primal soul his quest.
In vain these bird-like tiutterings,
As when through cages signs the wind:
Ny dearest answer only brings
New depths Of mystery to his mind
Vague thoughts, by crude surmise beset,
And cropping doubts that loom and pass
Like April clouds that, shifting fret
With tides Of shade the Sun-wOOed grass.
0 lonely soul within the crowd
OF souls! language-seeking cry!
How black were noon without a cloud
To vision only of the eye!
Sleep, child. while healing Nature breaks
Her ointment on the wounds Of Thought;
Joy, that anew with morning wakes,
Shall bring you sight it ne'er has brought
Lord, if there be, as wise men spalIe,
No Death, but only Fear of Death,
And when the temple seems to shake
IT'S but the shaking Of our BREATH
whether by day or night we see
Clouds where Thy winds have driven none
Let unto ana unto Thee
The darkness and the light be one.
