When to Weigh the Baby.

MISUNDERSTANDING.
Biedert has studied somewhat the weight of
sucking children and gives few tables of the
weight of four children. He especially insists
upon the Importance in weighing babies Of Sc
lecting particular time of the day and recon-
mends two hours after the first feeding in the
morning. BY weighing twice after a meal at
different intervals, there is shown to be loss.
From a limited number of observations he OBJ
tanned the following average losses during pc
of the first month 33 grms; second month,
SO; third month, ~; fourth month. S3; fifth
month Gone child only, 81. These are the rates
of loss from cXcretiOn of all kinds The otf er
principal point of Biedert's article is, that with
care in weighing the accidental variations NAV
be nearly all eliminated, leaving only those due
to illnesses. In part second the growth of
children with minimal nourlshment is discussed
from medical standpoint.

How a Native Went to He'd.

from the Detroit Free Press.
Going down the great Jackson route from
Grenada, Miss, regular old homespun native
of the state entered the sleeping Car and paid
for berth. He had never been inside of car
Of the kind and everything astonished him.
When the porter came to make up the beds
saw that the native was greatly perplexed, but
as he made no direct appeal it wasn't my duty
to post him. He was the first one to make pre-
parations for bed. He glanced anxiously around,
pulled off one boot, and then took rest for five
minutes. When the other boot came off he had
solved the problem. Pushing his boots under
the berth he started for the rear platform. and
nothing was heard from him for about ten min
utes. Then he put his head into the door and
called out:
IAN you uns in thar look out, for I'm COM
ing!"
And come he did. He had disrobed while
standing on the platform, made a bundle of coat,
vest and pants, and as he shot into bed after a
run up the aisle, he gurgled out:
"Old Mississippi may be little slow, but she
'allus gifts thar just the saMe!"

Why She Loved Him.

From the Post Dispatch
"1rma!" he called. She turned her head,
Tossing Its gold,
Like Sun-wave rolled
Down the back OF her neck, and said:
"What is it, Mixer"
He pulled his mOustaChe, brStling and red,
While his under lip hung like lump OF lead;
Then he sDake. ''Pray, Irma why do you Xix
your Mixer"
She turned upon him her lustrOus eyes,
From face an angel himself would prize;
Then hid In the folds OF her golden hair,
Ana ari1ully yelled her beauty there,
For lTlna . ShaughneSSy'S manner Was rare. {.

"because I'm considered handsome mann"
NO. She SODbed,
While Mikes heart thrObbed.

Upon Mike as her own dear, darling Chld?n
"NO," she replied,
While Michael sighed

II supply you with plenty OF gum to chew"
NO" She gasped,
AS her hand he clasped.
Then why" he shreked, "Oh, why do you love
Up from the depths Of her golden hair
Irma raised her face so fair;
The light OF her soul filled the skies OF her eyes,
She smiled like wagon load OF pies,
And, drawing Mike near,
Close to his ear
She uttered these words between her signs:
'Ob, Mickey, dear, love you not
Because both beauty and wealth you've got;
Nor yet yet, because , whenever you come
My love for you
Has nothing to do
With the taf1led realms OF Nyum-i-Nyum;

Wendell Phillips On Assassination.

Wendell Phillips On Assassination.
WHO is TO BLAME FOR REVOLUTIONARY FIX
In letter written soon after the Phoenix park
assassinatiOns to an Irish meeting in Boston,
Wendell Phillips expressed some exceedingly
radical opinions on political murders.
'The French people" he wrote, committed
many excuses in their revolution, but the blame
belonged to the government, which had brutal
lied them for centuries. Lord Cavendish was
an honorable man and personally innocent of
any evil intent. but nationally and officially he
represented Gladstone and Forster. =
Alexander OF Russia represented a government
that disgraces civilization and Christianity, and
he was rightfully and justly struck down.
The Sicilian vespers were terrible vengeance,
but history put the blame. not on the actors
but on the victims. The world is
justly horror-struck by this detestable crime,
but the men who have made Ireland capable of
such acts and reused her to the mood of COM
hitting them, should sit down in the sackcloth
and ashes with the perpetrators of this fell re-
yenge. When such deed is done the worlds
first verdict should be against the statesmen
who provoked and made it possible

Thirteen O'Clock in Ohio.

From Science.
An enterprisng' railroad in Ohio, the Clevc-
land, Akron and Columbus railway. has made a
new departure in it's timetables by adopting a
system which has been approved Of but not
ventured upon by many railway companies in
the country. On its time cards the hours are
numbered from one up to twenty -four, the latter
being midnight. The confusion which so often
exists between the a. IN. and p. m. hours is thus
avoided. Thus one train arrives in Cleveland
at 1880 and departs from Columbus at II
O'Clock. This road also carries upon its morn
Ing trains weather signals, devised and set by
the Ohio meteorological bureau from predic-
tons furnished by the United States weather
service. 1t is believed to be the first railroad in
the country. if not in the world, to adopt either
of these schemes

The london World gives some startling views
concerning the observance Of Sunday In Eng
land, which at this time may be Of interest to
Americans. Between the Sunday of the well-to.
do classes and the Sunday Of the poor there is,
it says, great gulf fixed. To the polite world
the day Is one OF gayety and pleasure decorated
with little fringe of optional religion. and
principally noteworthy for Its festivities its dis
sipations in town. or It's banquets at Richmond
and Greenwich To the poor man it does not
always mean an abstention from work and even
if 1t does, there is little to replace it but sense
less. stupid dissipation. The upper classes
break the Sabbath with an elegant refinement
that hides the transgression. The poor man
breaks it in way to offend the conventional
hypocrisy that ordinarily passes for religion.
Before just Judge therefore. the transgres-
sion OF the rich, If transgression it be, is the
greater.
The objection to the opening of museums and
galleries on Sunday comes not from any relig-
lous sentiment, but from the spirit of social eX-
clusiveness; and it is characteristic OF the for
bearance of the English masses that they should
acquiesce in the existing system as quietly as
they do. The considerations. however which
weigh with them are of peculiar kind. II the
working classes were bent upon securing such
legislation as that proposed by Lord Dunraven
they would obtain it with very little delay But
the truth is that though, as an abstract proposi-
ton, they might like to have more. opportuni-
ties at their disposal for rational endowment on
sunday. they have vague fear of the practical
results which it might entail The English
working classes dread above all things the risk
| of working seven days q week; and they are
full of apprehension that If museums and pic
ture galleries were opened on the Sabbath this
| might be their doom. Ultimately they will, no
doubt think differently on the subject, and the
real demand for Lord Dunraven's motion will
come when the working classes perceive that
there is no other justification for our existing
scheme of Sabbath observance than the invid.
l0us distinction between rich and poor.

Where Flower Odors Come From

From the Independent.
The odOr Offlowers sometimes comes from the
petals, as. for instance. from the petals of the
rose. The petals or floral leaves of the rose
give out an odOr long after they have been
gathered. This is not the case with most
flowers. recent writer has called attention to
the fact that the sweetest carnation is Odorless
soon after it scut, as are most of the sweet
flowers used in cut flower work The mignon-
nette and hellOtrOre were supposed to be excep-
tons. but as these continue to open new
flowers when cut and placed in water, it is
probable the oder comes only from the opening

Texas 4 st. Louis Marrow Gauge.

The statement OF the management of the
Texas & st. Louis morrow gauge railway
that the road could not be completed from
Mount Pleasant to this city by the time
specified in lien of the subsidy guaranteed
by Dallas, or virtually to that effect has
hitherto been published. The delay was
attributed, generally speaking, to the
drawbacks the line had met with in Arkan-
sas occasioned by the floods, which ma
terialy retarded building.
Yesterday, however, new cause for the
hardness of the line was current In railroad
circles, which, If true. throws new light
on the subject, which goes to show that the
German bondholders OF the road are anx.
ious to penetrate Mexico, and that in the
meeting OF the directory few weeks since
at TYLER, at the direction OF the German
bondholders, all work on the line was or
dered to DO directed TO Gatesville, the pres
ent terminus, of the road southwest of
Waco, and that IL be pushed through TO
Mexico Us rapidly as possible and CON-
pleted before anything definite was done
on any other parts of its lines.

definitely there. The letter advises the
king not to resist, invites him TO recognize
the proectorate of France and guarantees
the integrity of his dominion.
Conrad added that the French would col
lect taxes in AMMAN, and that state officials
Of France would occupy the delta. This
be said would lead to the possession OF the
whole province.
The committee then adopted the report
in favor of the credit proposed by the gov
eminent for the expedition. Reinforcements
for Tonquin include three batteries o.
mountain artillery. 1t sreported that 2,OO(
Chinese troops have been dispatched in the
direction to Tonquin. Another French en-
voy to AMMAN will probably take the place

dOubtedly murdered by robbers, as 25,0OO
marks had been stolen from his person.
Notwithstanding rumors which have been

belief in dissolution as an effective weapon
against refractory parliament is by no
means as strong as it was.
