Highway Robbery.

On Saturday night, shortly before 10
o'clock, Chinese cook in the employ OF
Wong Quai, who resides on the plains,
was returning home by Beretania street
from the city. When opposite Thomas
Square he was set upon by seven natives.
They took several dollars which were in
his wallet and also gave him good beat
ing. The Chinaman called out "haul
in" which caused his seven assailants to
run away. He says they were all dressed
in white and had followed him from
near the Hotel. An officer arrived on
the spot, but no trace of the men was
found, and the Chinaman says he would
be unable to identity any of them.

Snail farms . have been introduced
In Switzerland, where many gardens
round Davos and Landguart in the
Grisons are used for the sole cultivation
of the delicacy. Children gather the
snails of the hedges in summer and
place them on bushes in the farms.
There they are fed on refuse vegetable
leaves, and surrounded by thick bar
rier of sawdust, which prevents their es-
cape. When the cold weather comes
the snails, grown fat, bury them
selves in the sawdust to begin their long
winter sleep, but they are soon collected
and sent of to Italy to be sold for 14s.

Babies always are important person
ages in any well-orlered household so
happy as to be favored with their pres
ence. In many homes, however, the
baby is sadly neglected, although no
doubt sincerely loved. In the burning
days of summer the little ones require,
if possible, more attention than at any
season of the year. In the Babyhood
for July Marion Harland has timely
article on The Baby that Must go into
the Country" She says:
"Often baby runs down perceptibly
from day to day. Indigestion is sue
ceeded by emaciation in a frightfully
brief period; the bluish-whte tinge that
menaces fatal collapse settles about
nose and mouth. The sensible physi-
clan, too frequently summoned only
when domestic practice is demonstrated
to be disastrous failure, speaks out
strongly. Instant change of air and
place is demanded. This is not a
place for medicine or tentative treat
ment.
but it is impossible for us to leave
town before next week, said one moth
er when this verdict was rendered.
FURNITURE must be covered, servants
dismissed, and laughing nervously-
i must have travelling dress
This child must leave town without
an hours delay, reiterated the die
tator. Tomorrow may be too late. ;
I'm three hours the infant, in an APP
parently dying condition, was laid on q
pillow in the mothers lap as she sat in
an easy-rolling phaeton; the father took
the reins, and they drove ont of the
city by the nearest route, slowly and
with careful avoidance of noisy streets
and rough pavements. For the little
ones short battle for life seemed over,
The eyes were half-open, but the iris
was invisible under the dropping lid;
the eXtremities were cold, the features
set in waXen rigidity. There was no
longer room for paltering with the
awful issue. Stopping half dozen
times in as many miles to pour few
drops of nourishment between the poor,
pale lips, now and then leaning anear
to them in agonized suspense to learn if
the last sigh had indeed fluttered
through, the parents reached hill
farmstead and established their charge
in an airy upper chamber. In twelve
hours a change for the better was evil
dent; in three days the danger was
passed.
This true story has a replication,
with variations, in the experience of al
most every mother to whom many child
rem have been born. BY and by she re-
members the catholicon for herself and
does not await the more alarming stage
of the decline.
1t is getting to be better understood
than in days gone by that day at the
seaside may do sick baby more good
than the skill of physicians and most
tender care in the house can afford, and
the writer has known many cases in
which babies have been snatched from
the very jaws of death by Il prompt
despatch to the sea or the mountains.
But nany parents who live in the city
are rot able to leave home for any
lena "a of time with their little charges.
Let such remember that a day at the
seaside, or on the river, or, better,
series of such days may do much for
an ailing little one. But promptness
is indispensable Life and death some
times hinge on the delay of very few
hours, aud neglect in such cases is
criminal.
