MzWEITaAasH EXPERIMENT.

NJ. Whitmarsh saw IN Z paper
the other day, that Texas lady,
prevented her baby from crying, Dy
putting molasses on the baby's
hands and then giving It a few
feathers to play with. The baby
would pick the feathers from one
hand, 70 ind them stuck to the
other, and would become so inter
ested IN the operation, that
It would forget to cry. Mr..
Whitmarsh thought that
pretty good idea, and when his
baby set up yell. yesterday, he
tod Mrs. Whitmarsh OF the
scheme and proposed a trial Of It.
Mrs. Whitmsrsh did not think
much of the notion, but consented
TO trial.
The baby's hands wore Amounted
with the molasses, and two nice
goose feathers given TO the child.
The crying instantly ceased, and
the operation of picking the feath-
ers began. About four, possibly
five, attempts, were made by the
baby to drop the feathers, and then
the hands were waved violently III
the air. The feathers did not drop.
A scowl appeared on the cherub-
face. The crying was resumed,
and the hands were seen to be per.
forming very energetic motions,
The crying Of the child became
passionate and violent. the veins
on lis forehead were swollen 10
double their natural size the dsr-
lings legs, joined the arms III the
waving business, and the child
threw itself back OH the floor kick
ing, and screaming with fury. II
appeared 10 he frightened also, and
Mrs. Whitmarsh few 20 the rescue.
: She snatchei the feathers. which
were both on one OF the habv's
/ hands, and threw them awav, or
| tried to, but they did not throw
She performed the waving act, and
getting little angry, gave the
usual motion, designed to free The
hand from anything sticking TO i.
The feathers stuck, but. she struck
her hand on the back of chair
and maddened with the pain
screamed aud threw her
hand up, with great force. M.
Whitmarsh happened TO be just in
range, and the hand struck him in
the face.
What DO you mean - he yelled,
dancing about, with the feathers
waving gracefully, on the end OF
his nose, To which thew had been
transferred, from Mrs. Whit
marsh's hand.
Mrs. Wh:tmarsh, looked at him
i'll surprise, but when she saw the
! feathers ornamenting the nose, she
forgot her pain, and everything
else, and gave way TO immOderate
laughter Mr.. Whitmarsh reached
for the feathers but his wife caught
his hand, and called his attention
to the baby. who had stopped cry.
ing, and was gazing with delight al
the feathers on his fathers nose.
Don't take them OFF, pleaded
Mrs. Whitmarsh the baby is &C
pleased"
| Of course that settled it, the
feathers remained on the nose, anC
the nurse coming into the room q
minute later found Mr.. WhitmarsE
on his hands and knees, jumping
at the baby, and saying boo =
with the feathers still or his nose
While the experiment did MOI
turn out, exactly, as anticipated
still, there was certain success, at
tending it, and the baby was stop
