SLAVES LIBERATED.
Cuban Bondsmen Freed from the Tortur
ing Shacl<les Of Slavery.

Cuban Dondsmen Freed from the Tortur-
ing Shackles Of Slavery.
The Queen Regent of Spain has done
an act which the friends of humanity all
over the world will rejoice at; she has
signed decree freeing the slaves in
Cuba from the remainder of their term
OF servitude. This reform was begun
over seventeen years ago in the law of
February 10, 1869. which provided for
the conditional liberation of certain
classes of slaves in Cuba, and for the
payment of recompense to the owners
of the men and women freed. In 1879
a bill was passed by the Cortes for the
gradual abolition of Cuban slavery.
This law at once liberated slaves from
55 years old and upward. Slaves from
so to 55 were set free in 1880; from 45
to SO in 1882; from 40 to 45 in 1884.
and from S5 to 40 in 1886.
The intention of the law was to set free
those from 80 to 35 years old in 1888
and those under thirty in 1890. In the
seven years between 1870 and 1877 the
number of slaves in Cuba was decreased
by 1876. 900, but the population showed ;
falling off in the same period of 2O.5O0.
In December, 1873, Cuba still had 227,-
902 negro slaves. We may conclude,
therefore, that Queen Christine has be-
slowed upon upward of 100000 slaves
the rights and privileges of freemen,
and the act is none the less magnani-
nous because it has anticipated by four
ears the emancipation in 1890 contem-
plated by the Cortes itself. Thus by a
step. and by an act as noble and we'll
timed. Spain rids herself of the reproach
of being the only European state per-
mitting slavery in its colonies. and
gives one more promise of the new and
vigorous life which seems to be return
ing to her in these latter days.-CAris-

THE MISSING TEETH.

A lady whose teeth had grown rotten
And ached, although plugged up with cotton
Had them all drawn.
And, when they were gone,
Some new ones of mans make had gotten.
This lady, one Sabbath day hallowed.s
Sought vainly her teeth; her eyes followed
Her thoughts high and low
Till at last she said: oh!
Them teeth will bet have swallowed"
She grew very sick and got thinner,
And wept like pcn.tent sinner:
The doctors heads shook
Whenever they'd look
And think of the molars within her.
At last when she thought she was dying,
And the doctors incison were trying,
The housemaid rushed in
And said, with grin,
Shed found the teeth meath the bed lying.

down very low. A thick scum covers
the water in places, and Mr.. Phelps
brought out piece which he found
clinging to bush. 1t was nearly aS

trout in the lake died from lack of oxy-
gen after the water became covered with
the scum. It is said that several trout
were swimming around with their noses

Words Of Caution n to the Ways Of Babies
when they are Out OF Sorts.
After the age of three children arc
able to describe their feelings with toll
terable correctness, but before that age
much must be left to the mothers intui-
tive perceptions. These little ones Of
ten make mistakes in naming the parts
of the body, as they do in the meaning
of many words while forming their vo-
cabulary. Thus a little girl l knew
complained so frequently of '.head-
ache" that her mother began to feel
seriously alarmed lest her brain was
affected in some way; but happening
one day: .:after hearing the plaintive ''Oh,
my head aches!" to ask, Where is
your head, Katie?" what was her relief
and amusement to see the child place
her hand on her abdomen as she an

Most children are subject to attacks
of some kind. With one child it is sum-.
mer complaint, with another it may he
catarrh, with another collie, but little
watchfulness will enable a mother to
detect symptoms of the attack day or
two before it appears, and dieting. bath
ing, or little judiciously administered
medicine may prevent, and in time cor
rect, the weakness that renders the
child liable to these attacks.
The mother should train her eve to
notice changes in color. or slight Ian
guor of movement, or unusual brillian-
cy of the eyes. Train her ear to notice
irregularity or shortness of breath,
slight ratings of mucus in the head.
throat or chest, and the sounds of DIFF
ferent coughs, that she may. as far as
possible, apply simple remedies to the
right place. Teach her touch to be so
delicate as to know by the clasp of the
little hand, or the kiss of the warm lips,
whether fever turks in the veins of her
darling.
Long before the child shows illness to
the common observer the true mother
has detected this or that slight symp-
tom, and, if physician is called, she is
liable to assist him to a correct diagno-
sis; she knows whether the child's skin
is usually moist or dry, cool or warm;
whether it rolls in its sleep or lies quiet.
Ah! how many mother owes her
child's life to her close observation of
its habits.-Ba6yhood.
