Label the Little Ones.
lBabyhOod..

lbdbg ghOOusl
The anxiety so often caused by the
wandering away of the little child
from It's usual familiar surroundings,
or his being separated from his par
ents In a crowd, is made unnecessar-
lily distressing by the fact that usual
ly he carries with him no certain
means of Identification. To label
him with his full name and address
would be SO simple precaution that
it is surprising that it is not a uni
versal practice. We brand our cat
tie, punch cabalistic characters in
the web-feet Of our fowls, engrave
dOg-collars, and scrupulously tag
umbrellas and punches of keys, while
giving hardly passing thought TO
what would happen to our little
spcechless tOddlers and ourselves
should they stray into unknown
streets or meet with some accident
in the domains Of strangers. In the
customary marking Of undergar-
ments with indelible ink it would be
but little more trouble to use the full
name instead Of initials, and on out
er garments convenient place could
be selected-say the inside of collar
band or the end of the sleeve-where
the full address could be placed. If
every reader Of Babyhood would
adopt such a plan and recommend il
to others, there would be at once a
beginning which might 90 far to-
ward establishing uniform custom,
the usefulness of which would seem
to be beyond question.

Saved by Telegraphy.
Philadelphia News

Two telegraph operators of Phila-
delphia took an airing in the park.
They strolled as far as Lemon IIill,
where they threw themselves on the
grass in delicious abandon. Unknown
to one of them, his money, consisting
of silver change, slide from the capa-
cious pocket in which it had been
placed and nestled in the grass.
Shortly after the gentlemen espied
two of their lady friends sauntering
in their direction. The couple met, a
few nothings where exchanged, and
they adjourned to partake of cream.
AS the bottoms of the ice cream
plates crept to view under the Wig
orous attacks of the spoon-manipula-
tors, and the gentleman who was
unfortunate in the first instance
thrust his hand into his pocket to
draw forth his wealth 10 settle for
the four plates of cream and two OF
cake, a look of CONSERVATION crept
into his open couhtenance.
In reply to a query he remarked
that he was feeling well enough ply
sically, but that he was mentally eff
fected at the remembrance of the
pilfering of an apple from blind
lady in his Younger days. He then
gazed abstractedly into space, and
drummed without thought, apparent
ly, upon the table with his fingers.
Unknown to the ladies, lie used the
Morse system to apprise his compan-
ion of his loss. The one addressed
heard and understood his friends
mute appeal, and replied in like man
ner: 80. X, have enough for present
necessary expenses and to purchase
that 2-cent stamp spoke Of"
His friend was recalled from his
youthful remembrance, and surprised
the ladies during the remainder of
the day with cheertulness and good
humor. lie now says boys should
acquire an occupation in their youth
that they can rely upon in the days
of adversely and trouble.

Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleveland sis
ter of President Cleveland and Mis-
tress of the White House, is, by vir-
tue of that relationship and position,
the first lady of the land. She has,
however, II celebrity entirely indie
pendent Of these accidents, one due
TO Il circumstance never before occur
ing TO any person IN the world. Her
book, "GcOrge Eliots Essays and
Other Studics,' went TO tho sixth
edition before ii was published-an
honor hitherto unknown in the his
tory of literature. Miss Cleveland
is the youngest Of nine children. She
was born in Fayetteville, N. Y. She
was carefully educated, graduating
at HOughton Seminary. Then she
became a teacher in that institution !;
then principal of Lafayette Collegiate
Institute, lndiana, and then taught
private school in Pennsylvania,
after which she commenced lecturiug
before classes. After her mothers
death, which occurred in 1882, she
resided at the old homestead at llol-
land Patent, which she purchased
out of the earnings of her own labor,
and continued the work Of lecturing
until called upon by her brother 10
assume the duties of mistress of the
White House.
From all accounts Miss Cleveland's
book is already an assured financial
success. Ii does not often fall to the
lot of President TO have so close a
relative with such wcll-deiined lit
erary tastes. The publication of books
by eminent personages in Europe has,
however, not always been graded by
their intellectual vigor. Amy king,
queen or princeling can write book
nowadays, and it will be sure To
find large sale. Whether IL sells
for Its mental worth is, however,
open TO question. In tins country
also there are doubtless hundreds OF
curiosity readers who will read Miss
Clcveland's book for the chief reason
that it is written by the Presidents
sister. Her subjects are broad and
deep, and her treatment of them is
noticeable for an honest desire TO do
them justice. Whether she has sue.
ceeded or not there is a diversified
opinion. Her observations on George
Eliots writings contain some of her
best thoughts, aud may be said to
include the gems Of her work. They
contain high standard of Christian
morality, and in this respect at least
will find favor among large section
of the community, who, while admir-
ing George Eliot's genius, condemn
with charitable condemnation her
agnosticism.
The same element of Christian sub
ordination to the true requirements
of an implicit faith in a divine con-
troller permeates her writings
throughout. To quote specific in
stances would necessitate an eXhaus-
tive treatise OF the whole. At times
it may seem that Miss Cleveland is
verbose and unnecessarily tedious in
the enunciation of her ideas, but
withal her writings have the true
ring Of sterling metal refined in the
crucible of humanity.

A Sip Of Fresh Lightning.
ATLANTA constitutional

On Saturday, while thunder
cloud was passing in the afternoon,
II. A. Sewell, in Panther creek, Cow
eta county, was struck by lightning
and knocked down. His spring is
about three hundred yards from his
house, and for convenience he has a
telegraph wire to draw water, with
a carriage and bucket attached, and
had just drawn bucket from the
spring and was drinking out of the
bucket when the wire was struck by
lightning. The bolt ran up the wire
and into the bucket, thence into Mr..
Sewell's mouth, knocking him sense
less for some time. His mouth in
side was badly blistered. It's thought
that the lightning lost its force in
passing through the water, else Mr..
Sewell must have been killed.

The Presidents Desk.

The desk at which the president
sits was presented to the United
States by Queen Victoria during the
Hayes administration, and was for
merly a part of the Arctic relief YES
sci Resolute, which went in search
of Sir John Franklin. After numer-
Gus encounters with the ice in the
polar regions the Resolute became
disabled, and was found drifting
helplessly by a United States man-of-
war. 1t was towed into u harbor,
re-fitted, and returned to England
by the government and when finally
broken up some of the pieces were
utilized for the desk at which the
President of the United States trans.
acts his business. On small silver
plate imbedded in the woodwork is
an appropriate inscription, which
gives the details of how and when
the Resolute was found and finally

THE BURIED FORESTS OF NEW
JERSEY.
A Novel Industry Of The Dennis.
Williams.

correspondent lHlluutlpIlu llnlcb.
Four miles beyond Woodbine, out
on the sandy stretch of old sea bot
tom or beach that is named the Cape
May Peninsula, we come upon Den
nisville, where the Dennises of all
time had evidently settled.
"We're all in the loggin' business" 4"
said a tall, thin Dennis, yet as far as
the eye could reach not tree could
be seen standing that would make
even the ghost of u fair log. "They
amt growln," continued the man.
"They're underground. We dig for
them or spear them, as you might
say. Here's the tool" and, stepping
into low hut, he brought out a
crowbar that, like everything else,
seemed attenuated and was stretched
out into long, slender-pointed rod.
"We wade along, continued the
man, sand probe with this feeler, and
when we strike log we feel around,
and II it is good one we dig her up,
and if amt we let her soak; that's
about the way oft"
$50 in Jersey you burrow for your
logs?"
That's about il, replied the man.
"You know we're obliged to be u
whit odd or SO; we've got the name
of it, onnyhow."
"The secret of this business" said
my friend, the geologist, sis that
ages ago all this area was covered
with fine growth of large trees, and
the same are found growing in some
parts Of the swamp yet, but they have
died out and fallen down sunk into
the soft mud, and so been covered
up by mold and mud, until many
other layers have grown over them
but in some remarkable way the
wood is preserved, and those sunkcn
ancient logs are just as good fol
shingles and other articles as they
were when alive; hence for many
years there has been a steady hunt
for them, and Dennisvil'e is result
of the industry. To the botanist the
tree is the evergreen white cypress
andthe numbers that once grew ovel
this swamp and that have been Ell,
tombed are beyond conception. The
trees upon or near the surface arc
the only ones available and fortunate
ly are the best, but far below there
are probably myriads of others turn
ed to stone and representing the pasI
geological ages of the earth. The
logs are worked out by the mel
nicknanIed Swampoodles,' and who
live in the malarious district all theil
lives. When log is found u ditch
is made about it, into which the
water soon flows. A great saw i;
then applied and the roots removed
and as a rule, the log will rise to the
surface and can be cutup and carried
off, though in many localities the
shingles are made right on the spoI
and dragged over the swamps on
roads, in many cases, made ofbough:
and twigs. This curious business il
not confined to New Jersey, but ovel
in Delaware and Maryland there art
similar swamps, where the shinglt
business has been carried on for years
One of the swamps in Delaware ex
tends over twenty-five square miles
and hardly house in Sussex County
but what is shingled from the ancien
deposit"

New ORLEANS. March 9.-several
months ago MIR. F. K. Smith, young
man Of twenty four years of age, left hia
home in Spartanburg, s. c., to Wait rel.
atives in Clay County, Texas. On the
goth of January he started to return
home, but as time went by and nothing
was heard from him his family became
anxious about him, and all efforts to dis.
cover his whereabouts being fruitless, his
brother, Mr.. j. p. U. Smith, left home To
aearch for him. He visited several 10.
calities where it was thought sometbing
might be learned of his brother, and
fually came to New Orleans. He could
only ascertain that he had Left CIay
County, and nothing had been heard Of
him eince. On last Friday, however, Mr..
Smith met q gentleman from Dallas,
Texas, who Informed him that O young
man answering the description of his
brother vas murdered at Dallas some
time in the latter part Of January. The
gentleman himself was sick at the time,
but remembered the appearance Of the
murdered man and the circumstances of
his death. It was said that he was seen
to take hack for the depot and his body
was afterwards found ON the outskirts of
the town, and he had evidently been
beaten to death with club. The mur.
der was committed for the purpose of
robbery; as everything he had on his
person Of value bad been stolen. The
affair 10 involved 10 mystery. The young
man was sober and industrious. His
brother has telegraphed for money any
will leave here fOt Dallas a. eaon ~ IL 10
