TAKE CARE OF THE CHILDREN.-Much
may be done to prevent the Group by the
exercise of good Judgment in the care of
children. Some parents make their child
ren very sensitive and delicate by excessive
prudence. A child kept in the house and
treated like house-plant can hardly bs
prevented from encountering rude blast
of wintry weather by the oversight Of
some one having the care OF it. It is bet
ter to tougher the child by clothing it
warmly and giving it good airing every
day, either in walking or riding. The mis-
take should not be made of putting fur or
woolen about the throat. Tougher the
throat as you do the face. Be sure that
the extremities are as warmly clad as the
trunk of the body. See to it that the shoes
are made to exclude water, snd still avoid
the use of rubbers, unless, if necessary, a
pair of low sandals be used to protect the
soles of the feet. One more hint TO over
prudent mothers: Do not cover the child
too warmly when put to bed. Nothing is
more liable TO give child cold than to be
muffied in too many blankets or spreads of
some kind, for as soon IS it gets into an
uncomfortable perspiration it will free itself
from the cumbrous covering, and then by
a sudden checking of the perspiration, CON
tract a cold. There is absolutely more
danger from excessive than too little cover

pANIC-sTRICKEN CITIZENS AT HELENA.
HELENA, ARK, March 6.-Those depen-
dent upon Long-Lake levee have become
alarmed and are moving their stock and
goods, The entire bottom populace are
fleeing to the highland, carrying all their
yaluables with them. The negroes, panic
stricken, are hurrying hither and thither,
seeking places Of security. The IRON
Mountain railroad track and Langyille
bridge are submerged. Transfers by boat
enable trains to continue running. Des-
perate efforts are being made to maintain
the levees intact. The general opinion
now prevails that the flood of last year will
be exceeded by the water now in sight,
which is sure TO come. Citizens OF Helena
consider the situation critical.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-. March 6.--Dispatches
from Helena, Ark, say that the breaking
OF Fitzhugh levee five miles below there
will probably not affect Helena, but should
the back water threaten the place, the cul-
vert in the Midland railroad embankment
will be closed and will insure safety.
About one hundred thousand acres Of land
will probably be Overfowed by the break
ing OF Fitzhugh leyee. This section was
flooded last year, and no crops Of any con-
sequence were made on it after the water
subsidized. Owners Of land were generally
in debt prior to that time.

PAINTING on TIE STAGE AND CARRIED HOME
TO DIE.
A New York paper Of yesterday says:
Fresh white flowers lay on a casket IN a
house of mourning last night, and they
seemed in keeping with the sweet baby face
looking up from it. The little face had
time and again made others, like its own,
glow with pleasure, and delighted staid ell
ders in the footlight's glare; for ii belong
ed to Peggy Miller, the child actress OF
FrifZ's plays. The little one had been
with Emmett's company since the Sth OF
last May. She WAS then eight years Old,
and as the comedian watched Ler from the
wings he said she was the best child actress
he had ever seen, because she was always
child and nothing else. Since that time she
had been with the company in tours through
the country playing Lena and Master Her.

is the stage manager, Mr.. William {. Miller
Her mother is known professionally as
Jennie Christie. The child had been
brought up among the associations III
which she appeared, and her instincts lean
ed toward them. The glare OF the lghts,
the music of the orchestra, were familiar 10
her from babyhOod. She loved her WORK,
and when she fell sick at Philadelphia
wanted to keep at it. She had recently
been aling, and on Tuesday the end came.
1t was at the Novelty Theatre, Williams
burg. "Fritz in Ireland" was tae play,
and. dressed as Master Herbert, she was
standing at the wings ready to go on. Inc
moment for her dance with Fritz was APP
preaching. The opening bars OF the air
were already floating up from the orchcs-
ira. Little Peggy looked up in her fathers
face and said, "Papa, Pm afraid of that
dance" "Be careful, dear; and do 1t
easily" he whispered. The next moment
she was before the audience. The dance
began and went on uninterrupted TO the
close. But Fritz suddenly felt the little
figure trcmble and sink. Then ii lay dead
weight upon his hands. He lifted her ten.
derly, carried her to the wings and Iaid
her In her fathers arms. Little Peggy had

she would get over her illness entirely
But il was not to be, and she suddenly

The most interesting Of all sights Is the
grand old mission church in San Xavier,

of San Xavier was begun about the

one OF the towers, which is yet unfinished.
The style Of architecture is Moorish. The
lines are wonderfully perfect. 1t is in the
form Of a cross, 20 by 115 feet, and has a
well-formed dome. A balustrade sur
mounts all the walls. The front Is covered
with scrolI-work, intricate, interesting, and
partly decayed. over the front is a life
size bust OF st. Xavier. The interior Is
literally covered with frescoes. The altar is
adorned with gilded scroll-work. The sta
tues are as numerous rs the paintings. The
filing on the floor Is much defaced, and but
little left. That OF the roof is nearly all as
perfect as when laid. Its manufacturers one

The deck-bands Of the ferryboat Central.
az the New Jersey Central railroad, were
suddenly aroused at O O'Clock Sunday morn
ing by the Earring produced by the starting
OF the machinery. The boat was lying up
I'm the ferry-house on the Jersey City side.
and was not 10 run until late In the
afternoon. When she began TO move
the deck-hands hurriedIy left their hunks
and ran TO the engine-room. There they
found a young man, hatless and shoeless,
moving the lever which gave motion 10 the
machinery. They seized the intruder,
who fought desperately. Satisfied that he
was insane, they threw him down and
bound his legs with rope. He managed
to free himself and again seized the lever.
He evidently was not an experienced en-
gineer, as he opened the objectionable and
filed the condenser. The result was that
the engine stuck on the centre and the boat
stopped.
The deck-bands again attempted TO
seize him, but he broke away, and run
ming to the bow Of the boat, which was
about half way ont of the slip, he sprang
overheard. He was making rapid pro-
gress in the direction Of this city when a
deck.hand and Waterman started out in a
small boat, overlook and fished out the
swimmer.
| The man who had created all the excite
ment is John A. McGeady, Of No. SO east
Broadway, this city, who had charge OF the
gas-works OF the railroad company at night.
The gas is made from old cotton-waste,
crude petroleum, and wood, and when the
retorts are being cleaned the refuse emlts a
strange odor, which has the effect OF caus-
ing sensation similar to faintng, even
with experienced hands.
McGeady was engaged in cleaning out
the retorts Sunday morning when he bad
this unusual attack, which is supposed to
have been caused by the gas. He threw
aside his hat, and removing his shoes ran
TO the ferry-house. unfastened the chains
which secured the boat to the bridge, and
going TO the engine-room started the boat.
McGeady was suffering from the effects OF
his bath and was removed in the ambulance
to the Charity Hospital, Jersey City. When
his brother, who is also employed in the
gas-works, called at the hospital, the pa
tient began to rave about the danger OF
working i'm the gas-house, and implored
his brother not to 90 there again, as there
would be an explosion, and he would be
killed. He thought that he bad saved his
own life by fleeing from the place. He is a
sober, industrious young man, and has not
heretofore shown any symptoms Of mental
arrangement.
