The Chloral Habit and Life insurance.
LEalti mnr. I,nlnrNYri..l,

The chloral habit is steadily on the in
crease, not only among sufferers from
constant insomnia, but among persons
subject to milder forms of nervous irrita-
ton, to the strain and excitement Of spec
ulative ventures, or to the wear and tear
of late hours and fashionable dissipation.
This nepcnthe is more seductive to
people of refinement than the juice of the
poppy; and habitual surrender to its dom
ination is harder to break than the opium
habit. To the usual questions in the APP
plicaton for life insurance as to the use or
abuse of alcoholic drinks. tobacco and
opium, may well be added scrutiny as to
hydrate Of choral, for many persons who
never use the former would have to plead
guilty to more or less frequent recourse

Hush the baby stands alone Hold your breath and watch her; Now she takes step-just one Wavers, Stops-quick, catch her Courage! Life's first step will cost: Now again she's trying One, two-three, she walks, almost, Trembling, stumbling, crying. Precious baby! up once more Tiny feet advancing, Little arms stretched out before, Bright eyes upward glapcIpg, Where mamma, with cheering smile, To her darling beckons, Softly coaxing baby, while Her first steps she reckons: One, two, three-0h, she will walk Now, before we know il; Hear her sweet-voiced baby talk, Little bird, or poet Pratiling, todd!ing, there she goes, Stepping of so proudly Turning in her untaught toes. Pleased-then laughing loudly. First exploit of self content; Now she's growing boldtr, ngth and courage yet unspent, One can hardly hold her She so presses to advance In her baby learning Pulls so-Ah by what mischance Is this overtuIningt There lies baby on the floor, Sprawling. rolling, screaming Are life's first attempts so poor Baby was but dreaming When she felt so bold and strong Gladly now she's clinglng To the one whose soothing song Back her smile is bringing. Hurts are cured by mammals kiss Brave again as ever, See the plucky little miss Makes her best endeaver; Walks right off-the darling pet-- Rush now 10 caress her Come what will of first steps yet, All good angels bless her

City Council.

The City Council last night, after dis posing of several drainage bills ton the Treasury), had their attention nearly equally divided between the lights and the dogs, with a strong leaning towards the latter. The mayor was instructed to confer with the gas company Tn re gard to street lighting, and if no sstis- factory result is obtained, notify the company to select an arbitrator accord ing to the terms of their franchise. The electric light was not mentioned.
 The irrepressible dog question was sgsm embarked upon the sea of discus sion, and Don Sanford got the floor and made the fur fly. The dog question was thoroughly ventilated, from the curriest yelp to a Newfoundland bay, and his iong labors at last have borne fruit The dog catcher, who has been vorRciously absorbing the wealth of the whole na- ton at the alarming rate of from twenty to thirty pOt-lid dollars Ter month, has his perquisItes now carved down to just one-halt the former fees. He usually received fifty cents for each and every dog that he Geroni- mood, but he will hereafter get only two bits. The credit of this great stride ID the economical management of munici- pal affairs rests solely with Don A. San ford, who has consistently followed this enormous leak and achieved brilliant success m the face of strong public opinion and other obstacles. The money saved by this stroke of economy will now be used to pay the salaries of the members of the council. Ii IS a matter If congraiulation, however, that this dog tale has been severed from the car cass
