Bixby Kept ssFerfectly Cool.o


 Che of the Bixby children was seized with fit of croup the other night. Bixby heard the little fellows labored breathing, and bounding over the foot board of the bed, yelled "'Croup!" in about the same voice that the escaped idiot yells "Fire!" at the theater. Then he tried to put his trousers on over his head, but finally got them on wrong side out, and tore into his shirt with it wrong side in front.
 "Jumpl" he screamed to his wife, "there isn't second to 1ose Get the syrup of squills! Put on tub of hot waterl Give him something to drink! Get hot fannels on his chest instantly! Hurry, hurry! Don't lie there doing nothing while the child is choking to death! Fly aroundl"
 Mrs. Bixby is one of those meek but enl- inently sensible and prac,ic little women who never get tenth part of the credit for the good they do in this world. While Bixby was racing up and down stairs, declaring that nobody was doing anything but himself, Mrs. Bixby quietly took the little sufferer in hand.
 s'Do something quickl" screeched Bixby, as he upset a pan of hot water on the bed and turned a saucer of melted lard over on the dressing case. 'sHere somebody, quickl' he yelled: Can't anybody do thing but me? Run for the doctor, some of you. Give the child some more squills Is there any thing hot at his feet? Give him aconitel He ought to have spoonful of oil If he don't get relief instantly he'll die, and here there's nobody trying to do thing but me! Bring him some warm water with little soda in it!He ought to have been put in shot bath an hour ago Heat up the bathroomi Whats on his chest? Has the child got to die because no one will do thing for him?'
 Mrs. Bixby, quietly and unaided brings the child around all right, and sits with him until daylight, after she quieted Bixby down and got him to bed.
 And the next E2sFnins he hos +ia siass e;2ll e say at the office: "One of my little chaps nearly died with croup last night and had mighty hard work bringing him around all right, but did, after working like Tro- jan all night. It's 8 terrible disease and scares women nearly to death; they fly all to pieces right off. A person wants their wits about them. You want to keep perfectly cool and not fool away a second in mysteries. That's where man has the advantage over 8 woman in managing a case of croup. It's mighty lucky was at home to take my little chap in hand"

THE POSTAL TELEGRAPH.

Those who expected that the postal tele- graph idea would have boom this winter now see that they were mistaken in their opinion that the people were ready to clamor for it. It has become very evident that the people are not troubling themselves much about the matter and that most of those who pay any attention to it are not in favor of the scheme.
 When the Senate postofiee committee makes it's report more will be known about the postal telegraph business than is general ly known now. And there is good reason to believe that the more there is known the less indueement will there be for the people of this country to go into the business. The experiment. of postal telegraph in England has not yet been Q very promising one, although the conditions for it's success are perhaps as favorable as in any country. With only one-sixth as many miles of line as are employed in America, covering an area only one twenty-ffth as great the area of the American system, with only one third as many offices and one-ffth as many employees earning salaries far lower than the salaries paid here, and doing a business al- most as large as the business done by the American companies, there was yet deficit of $2, $50, 900 at the end of the last fiscal year which the British taxpayers had to make up. It does not appear that rates are cheaper in England than here. On the contrary the average rate is higher and the long-distanee rates very much higher.
 It is evident already that postal telegraph system could not be made to pay in this country The New York Tribune puts the case we'll when it says: It would be easy to answer any arguments that could be made in favor of a postal telegraph if only some one would make them. But the only things said by it's advocates consist in attacks on the Western Union company. In a measure these attacks have our lively sympathy, for the Western Union, like every other corpora tion is often short-sighted, selfish and given to methods none too creditable in order to shut off competition. It it can be shown that those acts amount to an infraction of the public rights, let congress take measures to protect the public rights. But the sins of the Western Union, were they ten times as grave, furnish no reason why the government should go into commercial business. None of the facts which make it necessary that the government should carry the peoples mails applies to the transmission of telegraph mes- sages. The American people are not Social ists. They don't want paternal government to the extent of having it administer every- body's business at the general expense.

furnished, show that the results of the year's business taken as whole were on the lesing side. Thus the total surplus of Al companies of New York State amounted at
 the end of 1887 to only $11, ,273, 40 as
 against $12, ,621 ,425 at the end of 1886, or 8
 decrease of S1 ,348,015. The surplus of 3e
 companies outside of New York State shows
 decrease of $334, ,992 by like comparison.
 Of the New York State companies only five show an increase of surplus, aggregating $296, ,577, or an average of less than $60, ,O00 each, which is not good showing when the size of the companies is taken into considera- tion. Of the 36 companies which lost, the decrease in surplus is $1, ,644, ,592, an average of $45, 900 each. The companies outside of New York, so far as heard from, have done relatively better.
 An interesting industrial community has been built up in Waldhof, in Baden, by some French manufacturers of plate glass. The manufacturing village contains 1 800 inhabi- tants, who live in $40 dwellings provided by the company, so arranged that each family has it's apartments entirely separate, and piece of land for flower and vegetable garden; also stable in which 8 COW and couple of goats may be kept. The houses are kept in repair free of charge, and are rent free; gro cery and provision stores have been estab- lshed by the company, where all the neces- saries of life can be purchased at cost price, the goods sold are of the best, the principal employees purchasing at the same place as the poorest workman If there is balance of profit at the end of month prices are re- duced until it is worked off. Schools are provided by the company, to which children must go until they are 15; libraries have been established, and also hospital. The hours of work in the factory are ten and half per day, the wages varying from sixty cents to $1.25 per diem.
