1t can occupy both sides OF the lar
gest-sized bed manufactured simultan-
eously.
1t can cause its father to be insulted
by every second-claSs boarding-houSe
keeper in the city who never take
children" which in nine cases out of
ten is very fortunate for the children.
1t can make itself look like fend

what pretty baby she has"
1t can make an old bachelor in the
room adjoining use language that, if
uttered on the street, would get him to
the penitentiary for two years.
1t can 60 from the furtheSt end OF
the room to the foot of the stairs in the
hall adjoining quicker than its mother
can just step into the closet and out

1t can 60 to sleep ''like little an

are starting for the theatre it can wake
up and stay awake until the last act.
These are some things that baby

superstition about Comets.

In these beliefs regarding meteors
and eclipses there was little calculated
TO do harm by arousing that supersti-
tious terror which is the worst breed
ing-bed of cruelty. Far otherwise was
it with the beliefs regarding comets.
During many centuries they brought
terrors which developed the direst
superstition and fanaticism; the ancient
records of every continent are full of
thoe. One great man, indeed, in tho
Roman Empire had the scientific in
stinct and prophetic inspiration to
foresee that at some future time the
course of comets would be found in ac-
cordance with natural law. But this
thought of Seneca was soon forgotten;
such an isolated utterance could not
stand against the mass of superstition
which upheld the doctrine that comets
are .'signs and wonders. The belief
that every comet is ball of lire, flung
from the right hand of an angry God
to warn the groveling dwellers of
earth, was received into the early
Church, transmitted through the mid
die ages to the Reformation period,
and in its transmission and reception
was made all the more precious by
supposed textual proofs from Scripture.
The great fathers of the Church COM
mitted themselves unreservedly to this
doctrine. Tertullian declared that
comets pretend revolutions of king
doms, pestilence, war, wind, or heat
Origen insisted that they indicate
"catastrophes and downfall of empires
and worlds" The Venerable Bede, SO
justly dear to the English Church,
made in the ninth century similar
declaration. ST. Thomas Aquinas, the
great light of the universal Church in
the thirteenth century, whose works the
Pope now reigning commends as the
center OF all university instruction, ac-
cepted and handed down the same opin-
ion. The sainted Albert the Great, the
most noted genius of the medieval
Church il natural science, received
and developed this theory. From

Counterfeit Detectors.

There Is a very large amount of
counterfeit paper atioat, and some OF
it finds its way to the treasury, when
it is discovered in the redemption di-
vision. 1t is here, writes a Washing
ton correspondent of the Pittsburg
iioSt that all the money sent in from
outside sources is counted and examin-
ed. The counting and sorting is done
by women, and they are the most ex-
pert in the country. They can tell q
counterfeit instinctively, with eyes
open or shut, and there is not a bank
cashier in the United States. or even
among the large contingent now So
journing in Canada, who could COM
pete with them in the matter of de-
termining counterfeits. They can tell
a spurious bill as far as they can see it,
and the mere handling of the paper is
enough for them to decide upon its
genuineness. The silk paper upon
which treasury notes are printed can
only be made by expensive machinery,
and 1t Is felony to even manufacture
the blank paper without due authority.
Under the circumstances all counter
feits are printed upon inferior paper,
which lends this great facility in the
matter of detection. A guide was once
taking party of visitors through the
redemption division, and was expatia-
ting upon the expertness of the fair
money-handlerS in this respect. He
solemnly assured the party that one of
the girls had detected a counterfeit in
the middle of pile of money sixinches
thick by merely seeing the thin edge of
it. | am happy to say that this mag
NATIVE public servant has been dis
charged under a reform administra-
ton, but after all it was only an exag-
geration of demonstrated fact. To
a stranger it seems more like diablerie
than the possession OF trained vision
and a delicate sense of touch in the de-
lection of counterfeits.
These female experts receive S75 a
month for their services. They do
nothing but count from in the morn
ing until 4 in the afternoon, and their
hands move with rapidity seldom ac-
quired by the most expert bank clerks.
But they make no mistakes. A mis-
count or a counterfeit overlooked
comes out of the wages of the one
making the error, and two or three
mistakes month would wipe out
girls salary, as some OF the bills ham
died are very large. The great draw
back to the position is the poison alb
sorbed by the continuous handling of
money. The backs of all treasury
notes are printed with a pigment which
consists chiefly of paris-green. Small
particles of this substance are absorb
ed, and in a year or two the girl who
may have entered the treasury smooth
skinned and healthy finds herself a vic
tim of lassitude, and with her hands
and face broken out in malignant
sores. Each employe is furnished with
a sponge to moisten the fingers while
counting. A new one is supplied ev
cry morning, and by evening its color
will have changed to a duh black by
the action of the poison. Notwith-
standing this drawback, there is never
any difficulty in filling vacancies.

Coca Cocktails.

1t is common for men who are feel
ing seedy in the morning to drop into
a saloon or drug store and call for a
coca cocktail. This is made from the
vine of coca or any other plain liquid
the customer desires. 1t has to a great
extent supplanted quinine cocktails
and cocktails made of alcoholic liquors.
The taste is not very pleasant, and re-
sembles that of an infusion of ordinary
dry leaves.
A druggist said: 1--WE sell a great
many coca cocktails, especially to men
who do brain work. 1t has extraor-
dinary properties as nerve tonic, and
seems to support man for hours with
out the need of food. Like whisky,
however, it is easily abused, and it soon
loses its good effects on persons who
take too much of it. Some take it pure
and others take it mixed with quinine
Cocoaine is the active principal of
coca. "-Neto York Sun.

Batting AiligatOrS.

We went out to a Mississippi swamp
accompanied by several negroes, and
as the colonel had promised two bits 10
the first black man who should sight
an alligator, there was feeling Of
rivalry among them. The day was
awful hot, and though alligators were
as plenty as frogs, we beat around for
an hour without getting sight of one.
1t was their hour for sleep. As we
finally gathered on a long spit of sand
which projected out into the bayou for
two hundred feet the colonel called up
one of the blacks:
Come, Moses, if you'll swim for it
FL make the prize half dollar. "
"Sure / won't be cOtched, NASSAU"
"On, there's no danger. Here are
five rifles to protect you"
The negro went halfway down the
spit, and then had deep. dark water on
each side of him. He closely scanned
the surface in all directions, and then
speedily disrobed and plunged in with
a great splash.
Hes batting 'em," whispered the
colonel.
But suppose one of the reptiles
seizes him?''
Then I'll give the money to his
widow"
The black swan out about thirty feet,
kicking and splashing, and we walked
slowly down the spit. All of sudden
he screamed out and turned for the
shore, and as we looked we saw from
ten to fifteen great saurians making a
bee line for him from as many different
directions. Everybody opened fire, and
the reports of rifles. the yells of the
swimmer, and the shouts of the other
blacks made an exciting scene. Two
of US took big alligator which was
directly in the mans wake, and. though
we fired ten or twelve shots at his snout
at close range, he was within three feet
of the negro when the swimmer was
| pulled out. He ran his fore feet on
the bank, opened his mouth like a barn
( door, and as he snapped his jaws to-
| gether piece of stick or tooth flew
clear over our heads. The five of us
| kept firing away. but he turned and
sailed off as if the bullets were so many
peas.
How did you feel?" | asked of the
| swimmer when he had dressed.
Didn't have no feelings tall, sab, y
he replied. at was jst like my arms

Seeking a Relation.

Col. Nat Hammond was on the train,
not long ago, when lank, inquiring-
looking stranger moved across the
aisle and took a seat by him. He
gazed at Col. Hammond attentively for
a full minute and then said:
''Howdy do?"
Il am well, sir" replied Col Ham
mond. A pause OF about two minutes;
then:
What mout your name be?"
My name is Hammond, sill"
A still longer pause. and then:
Il hope there amt no harm donef"
There is not, sill"
An embarrassing silence, during
which the stranger contemplated Col.
Hammond closely; then:

lives up in Tennessee that l ain never
seen, and l thought / might come upon
him some time by jist asking folks

1t was here that we made the ac-
quaintance of a colored woman,
withered, bent old pensioner of the
house, whose industry (she excelled
any modern apple-parer) was unabat-
ed, although she was by her own con-
fession Ga woman, we believe, never
owns her age till she has passed this
point) and the testimony of others a
hundred years old. But age has not
impaired the brightness of her eyes,
nor the limberness of her tongue, nor
her shrewd good sense. She talked
freely about the want of decency and
morality in the young colored folks of
the present day. 1t wasn't so when
she was girl. Long, long time ago,
she and her husband had been sold at
sheriff's sale and separated, and she
never had another husband. Not that
she blamed her master so much-he
couldn't help it, he got in debt. And
she expounded her philosophy about
the rich and the danger they are in.
The great trouble is that when per-
son is rich he can borrow money so
easy, and he keeps drawin' it out of
the bank and pilin' up the debt, like
rails on top OF one another, I'LL IL NEEDS
a ladder to get on to the pile, and then
it all comes down in a heap, and the
man has to begin on the bottom rail
again. If she'd to live her life over
again, she'd lay up money; never
cared much about till now. The
thrifty, shrewd old woman still walked
about good deal, and kept her eye on
the neighborhoOd. Going out that
morning she had seen some fence up
the road that needed mending, and
she told Mr.. Devault that she didn't
like such shiftlessness; she didn' know
as white folks was much better than
colored folks. Slavery? Yes. slavery
was pretty bad-she had seen five hum
dred niggers in handouts, all together
in field, sold to be sent South
