A Tricky" CHILD.
Warming to Mothers who Indulge In Mis-
cellaneous Baby Talk.


Mrs. Grimstone's little daughter,
Alice, was sent on an errand to Mrs
Puggles, a neighbor who was the proud
possessor of a somewhat new baby.
Alice wanted to see the baby; but it
happened IT. be i'll just then, and could
not be brought out
Mrs Puggles, who was greatly given
to baby talk, gently informed Alice
that the infant was not to be seen, and
added, in her peculiar way; '.It's so
ticky, muzzer's little darln' singh
Baby talk was not used in the Grim
stone family, and Alice did not under
stand it; but she did understand or be-
lieved that she did, the meaning of the
word "ticky," which she had heard
used at home in connection with the
house dog. Rover, when that animal
was afflicted with dog ticks-horrid
things that suck blood and swell up I'M
til they are as big as acorns.
So Alice ran home with big eyes, and
told her mother that she had not been
permitted to see Mrs. Puggles' baby.
because the poor little thing was "all
ticky, just like Rover was" This was
almost improbable; but Alice SOL
EMMY averred that she had received
that statement from the lips of Mrs. Pug
giles.
Mrs. Grimstone lost no time in put
ting on her bonnet and shawl, and run
ming to the neighbors to spread the sad
news; and this mission of mercy occu-
pied her attention so exclusively that
Mr. G. had to 90 without his dinner.
Naturally the story grew with the
telling, and in a very short time it was
currently reported that Mrs. Puggles'
baby had n neglected by its heart
less and slatternly mother, until it had
been literally covered with dog ticks,
which rad eaten great holes in its poor
little flesh.
OF course the neghbors did not 60 to
of the story, their time being taken up
with spreading and discussing it among
each other; but the minister got hold of
it. and fastened to inform that lady of
the current reports.
She produced the infant, showing
plainly that nothing of the kind was the
matter with it, and wondered how such
story could have started.
you told Mrs. Grimstone's little
girl" said the minister, "that she
could not see the baby because it was
so ticky."
MAY be did; but that must have
been my baby talk. l meant to say
that the dear little thing was SO sick,
you know"
"Well, Mrs. Puggles, l hope that you
will consider this a solemn warning
against indulging in miscellaneous baby
talk. "-Drake's Irareler's Magazine.

Running Accommodation Trains for the
Accommodation of Everybody.
A few days ago a well-known citizen
of Atlanta had occasion to 90 from
Wrightsville to Dublin. He took one of
the accommodation trains between the
two towns and prepared himselfto sleep
through the short journey. When the
journey was about half over, and while
the train was dashng along at high
rate of speed, the engineer observed a
fine large gopher near the track.
Jerusalem, the blest!" he CALCULATED,
turning to the fireman, "Put on brakes
and stop the trainr'
He caught hold of the whistle lever
and produced a succession of shrill
blasts, which caused the brakemen back
in the cars to hurry to their posts and
frantcally endeavor to twist the brakes
up to the last notch. The passengers
thought the engineer had overtaken
herd of wild steers, or that bridge had
been washed away, and every one of
them prepared to join in prayer-meet-
ing by way of preparation for impend-
ing death. Finally, the train was
stopped, but not until the gopher had
been left half a mile behind. De-
termined not to lose his game, the en-
gineer backed to the spot where he had
seen the gopher, stopped the train, and,
accompanied by the fireman, gave
chase and captured it.
Say" said passenger to the con-
ductor, as the train once more started
toward Dublin, what kind of train is

conductor replied, 'and will accommo-

The Harris Service of Plate.

A very notable service of plate has
just been sold in London auction room
for one thousand, nine hundred guineas.
1t was bought early in the reign of
Charles 1. by Sir Christopher Harris, of
Radford, near Plymouth, who had the
custody of Sir Walter Raleigh in 1913.
Shortly after the civil war broke out,
hostilities commenced in the neighbor-
hood of Plymouth, and Sir Christopher,
fearing for the safety of his plate,
buried it, and presently died without
having revealed the place where he had
concealed it. Careful search was made,
but it could not be discovered, and the
loss had become legend. when in the
spring of 1927 laborer turned up a
box in field which he was blowing.
and In it was found the long-lost Rad
ford plate. 1t has now been purchased
by Norfolk squire, who is married to
q member of the family of Harris, OF
Radford.-M Y. Post.

Why HoOsier Judge Quashed an Indict-
ment Against a Lawyer.
A lawyer at little town in Delaware
County, Ind. appeared in the Muncie
County-seat the other day and came in
to court and asked Judge Lott to dis
pose of his case.
What is your case" querled his
Honor.
We'll" replied the rustic Kent, "it's
plain drunk in public place; but l
move the court to quash the indict-
ment"
'For what reason" said his Honor.
"You see," said the mover, comical
smile making his ginger colored beard
separate in different directions, and his
pale blue eyes lighting up with fun.
II am indicted about six months by an
ticipatic Z. This Indictment states that
l was drunk in public place on Decem-
Der 26, 1886. Now it is possible that
shall be liable to indictment if 1 live to
that date for that offense; if so, will
pay all the fines. but l want to be in
dicted after the offense."
Here the court counseled with the
prosecution and quashed the indictment
and the lawyer left the hall of justice.

THE BARBER'S BIB.
An Invention to Further the Comfort of
Men Who Have Their Hair Cut.

An Invention to Further the Comfort of
Men Who Have Their Hair Cut.
Permit me to experiment with my
new inv ntion," said the barber to his
first customer the other morning as the
victim settled himself back in the chair.
"You want shave, hair cut and
shampoo, don't youp Well, here's
finest hair possible finding its way
down underneath your collar and
tickling your shoulders all day. 1t
does away with choking you with
towels and leaves your collar un-
sullied."
"Well, well; let us see," said the
customer, with resigned look.
A sheet of tissue-like rubber about
the size of a table-napkin, with a
small round aperture in the center was
brought forth. Stretching it out the
barber pulled it down over the vic
TINS head. When in it's proper place
the 'hair-cutting bib," as the barber
called it, fitted snugly around the Gus
TONER'S throat just above the collar.
1t spread out over his shoulders and
chest in a generous fashion. When
the artist was through with his manip-
ulations, he again stretched out the
bib and removed it, leaving the neck
gear of his customer free from the usual
finger marks and dampness.

ago." said he, pocketing the tip, 'and
propose to get out patent on it. Then
I'll retire from this business and send

LIGHT AND BLINDNESS.
Interesting Account of the Visual Sensa-
tions Experienced by n Blind Man.

Interesting Account of the Visual Sensa-
tions Experienced by "a Blind Man.
An interesting account has lately been
furnished by M. Plateau, the eminent
Belgian physicist (who has been blind
nearly forty years., of the sensations
he experienced in his eyes. He has no
sense of objective light even when turn
ing his eyes to the sun. But his visual
field is always divided into spaces, some
of which are pretty bright and others
sombre or nearly dark, and which
merge into each other. Their general
tint alternates, in time, between gray
and reddish. The relative arrangement
of those different spaces is always the
same, but the intensity of their tints
varies. The central space seems now
rather bright, now very dark; above
and below, and on the left to the limits
of the field, there is sometimes bright
ness, sometimes darkness, but on the
right there is generally vertical band,
nearly black, and beyond this space
which is nearly always bright and red
dish. These appearances follow all the
movements of the eyes, which probably
do not participate In the same way in
the tints, but M. Plateau can not dis
tinguish what belongs to one from what
belongs to the other. No connection OF
the general tint with the work of diges-
ton is observed. The author states
that he became blind through looking
fixedly at the sun for some time,
with view to observing his after sensa-
tons; it was not till about fourteen
years after this that inflammation Of
the chloroid set in, destroying vision,
but, during the interval, he often saw
colored and persistent halos round
flames. ETC., and he advises those who
have such vision to consult an expert
enced oculist Chicago Interior.

TRY GRRMEA for breakfast.
The Palatka daily news. (Palatka, Fla.) 1884-1888, 1886-10-27

The change made in some of the hotels
in st. Louis from the American to the so
called European plan in connection with
the heavy influx of visitors expected dur
ing the fall is interes ting to a visitor like
myself Up to last year there was no
such thing as a hotel on the American
plan in London, though for the matter of
that there are very few on what seems to
be known here as the European plan. A
man goes to a hotel, tells the clerk his
name-if there is a clerk-and dispenses
with the formality il there is not, has q
bedroom assigned to him, takes what
meals he requires at private table or in
private room, and when he leaves has n
bill brought him with such items as bed
and breakfast" dinner" "wine," "tea,"
supper" and so on, according to what he
has had, with an invariable addition in
the form of charges for attendance" No
one ever stops in hotel as in q boarding
house, and if man slept in a hotel and
took his meals elsewhere, he would be
looked upon as too mean and contempt
BILE to have his bed made.
But American enterprise has given
London one or two hotels on "a colossal
scale, with American ideas imported with
the style. The most popular of these is
the Fifth Avenue" n six-story building
on Holborn, with an elevator and
rotunda, which, although nothing to the
Southern or the Lindell, is huge wilder
ness compared with the orthodox London
hotel hall. Americans patroniZe this and
similar institution freely, but English
visitors to the capital, while they admire
it, give it n wide berth. l remember last
summer a Cincinnati man locating him
self on the third floor and inviting con-
noisseurs to come and see the latest thing
in sewing machines which he had brought
with him and which he kept and dis
played in his bedroom. Incredulous
Londoners focked in to get an excuse for
n ride in the elevator, or lift" rs il is
called, and to see what manner of man it
could be who could permanently locate at
a hotel and make his bedroom also serve
as a show parlor.-English Visitor in

Made an Astonishing Change.

1t beats all what a lot of little things
there are that might be done to improve
this terrestrial ball. and that are not done
simply because nobody happens to think of
them. Somebody in the elevated railroad
company's management has had happy
idea in that direction. When the roads
Were being built the makers of the iron
work painted the piece, as they always do
large castings, the deepest shade of red
brown. These were put up as they came,
and that somber color forthwith became
the standard hue of the elevated struc-
lures all over the city. Everything
about them, above and below, even to the
cars, was daubed with this gloom. Now,
an elevated railroad is not at best an en-
tightening thing to have in the street,
and its gayety is the reverse of enlivened
by its being painted the darkest color that
can be painted short of black. Endless
complaint was made against the compa-
MES for cutting of the light from the
streets, and in the suits for damages
started against them by the hundred this
was the most grievous allegation.
Still nobody thought that it might
make difference if the structures were
painted light color, and for over ten
years the dark red masses of iron have
stood through miles of city streets, turn
ing them into veritable caves of gloom
even on the brightest days. a few weeks
ago, however, some rash innovator with a
big head tried the experiment of cover
ing a little section of the road with paint
of light gray. The change it made was
astonishing. 1t was daylight after ten
years of night. Once started, every body
wondered why in creation the the thing
hadn't been thought of sooner, and steps
were promptly taken to extend the good
work. \ mile or SO of semi-midnight
caverns have already been transformed
into lofty, light, iron arched halls by this
simple magic of the paint brush. -"Uncle
