A MECHANICAL BABY.-Edison is
said to be a father, and why shouldn' {
he be, since he has successfully pro-
ven that babies can be produced by
mechanism? For several months he
has devoted much time to the iEven-
tiOn of this household requisite in or
der to raeet the wants Of those who
are unfortunate enough to fail in the
injunction that Thou shalt multiply
and replenish the earth" BE has
succeeded in completing and success
fully operating his mechanical baby.
Now. it is well known that no house
bold i complete without the presence
Of baby, and it is not infrequently
happens that the husband and wife
are ''at home to select number Of
friends. and in such homes where
children are unknown they ara bor-
rowed Of the neighbors. Il was to
meet this want that Edison set about
to complete his mechanical infant.
As the question might arise whether

WOMEN IN EARKY AGEs.-We are
told that the ladies of Lesbos slept on
roses whose perfume had been artifi-
cially heightened. And in those times
court maidens powered their hair with
gold.
The women of the Roman empire
INDUCED in all sorts of Injuries and
excesses, and these were revived under
Napoleon l. in France. Nine. Taw-
lein bathed herself in a wash Of staw-
berries and raspberries, and had her,
self rubbed down with sponges dip
ped in milk and perfume.
Ovid says that in his day girls were
taught TO smile gracefully.
The beauties Of ancient times were
just as vain as modern bellies, and
spent the greater part Of the day at
their toilet. The use Of cosmetics was
universal among them. Roman ladies'
were so careful of their compilations
that to protect them they wore masks.
The Athenian women Of antiquity
were very studious of their attitudes
and actions. and thought a hurried
and sudden step a sign Of rusticity.
We have certain styles of beauty
nova days so had the Greeks. They
went wild over. the ideal chin
neither sharp nor blunt, but gently
undulating in it's outline, and losing
itself gradually and almost insensibly
in the fullness Of the neck.
+ The union Of the two eyebrows was
esteemed by the Romans as a beauty.
It is said they admired the air Of dig
nifty it gives to the face.
An Albanian belle Of to-day pre-
sents . rather striking appearance.
She is, as rule. gaily coifed with
seed pearls and coins, and enveloped in
black serge pelisse. She uses paint
on her face prOfusely, and her taste
runs to cherry lips and cheeks and
jet black eyebrows strongly drawn.
An Albanian bride discArds paint for
q while and, if wealthy, wears a suit
something like this: ROse-coIored
under-robes. with an over-robe of dark
green velvet. the idea being taken
from a rosebud half folded in its leaves.
Thus arrayed. the girl Of handsome
features il said to look really bewitch-
ing.

SOLDERING HORSES. cause of
slobbering of horses that are grazed
on the after math at this season is the
presence of acrid weeds in the herb
age. Lobelis, st. Johns wort and
rag weed often form the larger por-
tion Of the herbage, and this can
scarcely be avoided so long as the
second crop Of clover for seed is cut
from fields infested with these weeds.
Lobelia may soon be discovered by
Its pale blue, small, tubular or funnel
shaped flowers and its oval seed pods.
1t grows about nine or twelve inches
high, and is easily missed in meadow
unless one stoops low to seek for it,
when it will too often be found abun-
dantiy. If one tastes it he will readi-
ly understand why it will produce the
effect complained of. It has strong
acrid flavor like that Of tobacco, and
may quite often be found in rowen or
second crop hay. st. Johns wort is
recognized by its 6ve-petaled yellow
flowers. but most easily by its three
celled pods. which have divergent long
slender styles attached to the top ofthe
pod; these are quite apparent in the
flower, being the three-stYled pis-
til with the three stameps. The
petals have q number of dark purple
spots upon them. Rag weed is too
well known to need description; it
has a strong, bitter. aromatic taste,
which is not 50 bad as the preceding
weeds. but it viii cause some horses
to slobber. Horses will refuse to
touch these plants if they can avoid
it, but when they are abundant they
cannot help eating some Of them. To
stop the slObbering. give handful or
two Of dry corn meal or wheat mid
dlings. The loss Of saliva i a seri-
Ous matter, and greatly weaksns the
animal.

bition Of this toy OF luxury che baby
was brought out and laid on It's back

handed to the child. and it spelled its

A knock was then heard at the
door, when it shouted, "Come in r. 1t

pyramid and several other structures,
laughing merrily and naturally the
while. A toy piano was placed be-
fore it, and after lowering q few chords
it sang Sweet by and BY" It was
then given doll baby, which was
nursed naturally in her arms. and
after playing with it a little il yawn-
ed and said, Mamma, Use sleepy $
and then lying down on the floor was
soon in peaceful dreams. Mr.. Edison
is highly pleased with his success, but
is threatened with an injunction for
fear he will crowd our already too
crowded foundling asylums. The
mechanical baby has many advanta-
ges. It needs no nurse; it is out oI
the way excepting when we feel in
baby humor; it can be kept quiet
when we don't want it. and we don I
have to crafty its many whims.
