In the Dead Letter Pouch.

Some very curious and funny letters
are received at the Dead Letter Office.
The outside of some are more unique
than the inside. The following are the
addresses on the envelopes of several
which have found their way to the
Dead Letter Office. They show the
poetical bent of the writer's:
Fly, little messenger, quick and straight,
10 Humboldt County of Iowa State;
Fly, little messenger, and seek with care
For Miss Annie Fahey, you'll find her there.
Unfortunately there was no stamp
on 1t, and the matter-of-fact, p. M.
hustled it off to the Dead Letter
office.
Another envelope has this address:
James Irwin. Try all over the State.
Still another brief address Is:
II. A. Kenyon, p. NJ, Ill.
A would-be-housekeeper puts on the
envelopes:
Pm. Please forward to the physician who
was looking for housekeeper in st. Louie
last week; Is a widower with two children;
don't know his name.
This Is no doubt an answer to an adj
vertisement. 1t is pity the widower
did not get 1t. .E VNF
Another envelope has:
TO General w. Knowles this letter is sent,
10 the town of Brighton, where the other one
went.
No matter who wrote TIA friend or a foe
To the State Of New York hope IL will go.
But it went to the Dead Letter Office
instead. 81 'f-f -..r f

A Chinese Baby in Boston.

The little Chinese baby whose birth
in this city attracted so much attention
is now bright little girl nearly 6
months old, and q happy, petted child,
the center of large circle of admir-
ing friends. Mr.. Sam Wah Kee. baby's
father, is Chinese laundryman in this
city, and is refined, cultured man.
His wife is bright. pretty woman not
yet out of her teens, but she is very
motherly and devoted to her pretty
baby, who takes her maps in real
English cradle, while the mother sews
and plans the dainty little Chinese gar
ments that little Miss Wah Kee is to
wear. Baby has smooth, white skin of
wonderful delicacy, fine black hair,
and dark blue eyes that look up merrily
to visitors while the little rosebud
mouth Fuckers up into queer shape
and then opens in laughter that is con-
tagious in its merry, ripping melody.
This baby receives O great many callers
from personal friends of its parents,
and gifts are lavished upon it by all
little people who call. The baby wears
a regular Chinese dress-a loose sack
of soft, blue cloth with deep cuffs of
red, with tiny golden buttons, little
round cap of cherry satin, trimmed
with ornaments of native gold, and its
little feet are covered by red socks of
the softest wool. She is a beautifully
formed child of exquisite proportion,
small, regular features, with slender
hand and foot, and nails like the inside
of q sea-shell. The health of the little
one is perfect, and she is an interesting
specimen of babyhood. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that more of the women do not
come to this country, as the men are
apt scholars, gentlemanly, and unob-
trusive, and this little woman is most
thorough lady and very attractive in
appearance, and gentle and refined in
manner. Since her residence in Bos-
ton she has learned to speak q little
English and has joined her husband
in the observance of Christian rites
and modes of worship, while baby is
to be brought up like any American
child. This Chinese home and its in
mates possesses more than ordinary
intelligence and refinement. The little
Chinese mother has an elaborate ward
robe of Chinese silk, heavy with en-
broidery and fastened with ornamental
clasps of native gold, while the ward
robe for baby comes from prominent
Chinese house in San Francisco.-Bos-

Turn the Silver Edge.
How dark are the clouds over life's pat

How dark are the clouds over life's path
way.
And difficult oft tits to SEQ
A glimpse OF tho bright silver lining,
That on every cloud there must be.
At times these dark clouds win oerwhelm
us;
We see no escape from their gloom.
And many in desperate madness,
Seek too early the rest OF the tomb.
And going about with long faces
And looks that betoken despair,
Many see no bright CLEAN I'm the future,
Which may be so wondrously fair.
For though heavy clouds cast their shadows
Ger even the sunniest way,
As darkness must come before daylight,
And night precedes ever the day.
Yet the clouds that seem thickest and black.

May shower refreshing, bright rain,
And leave Nature smiling with gladness,
And sparkling drops that remain.
Thus the dark clouds of life will pass DER us
And leave us more brave than before;

bromldes arc now largely .usea as
cures for seasickness, but they should
never be resorted to except upon med
ical advice. The best method of avoid
ing seasickness is summed up by
medical man in this way: Abstain
from stimulants, and take plenty of
exercise and plenty of good food for
three weeks before stirling; on the
voyage avoid narcotics and intoxicants;
brace yourself up and determine that
Neptune shall not conquer you. But
the most certain way of escaping sea-
sickness is to remain on dry land
