careIessness in Handling Infants.

q If there is one piece of folly that ex-
cites my Impotence more than another
it is the methods pursued by the average
nurse girl-and perhaps some mothers
also-of lifting the 3-year-old or 4-year-
old infant in their charge into street
car or other vehicle, or out Of the same.
The said method, with slight variations,
according to the temper of the person in
charge, is something like this: The luck
less youngster is standing on the street
by the side of its keeper; second or so
passes while the car comes to a stand
still; the infant then finds itself grasped
firmly by the arm somewhere below the
elbow. lifted bodily into the air, and
lugged like sack of beans or bundle Of
old clothes to the desired altitude.
On reaching its destination 1t is
ranked downwards in the same ruth
less fashion, the victim landing on
its little feet with crash, after sailing
through the air much after the style Of q

STATE papers of China.

A writer In The Chinese Times, dis
cussing the contents of The Pekin
Gazette, says that the state papers are re-
markable. The imperial proclamations
especially are always composed in tho
finest style, and it often happens that
papers of moment 'are written with ex-
treme beauty and perfectness of compo-
sition, vivid with grace and majesty Of
language. Even in the minor reports
these rare merits are to be seen in the
closeness of style. fitness Of expression,
clearness and condensation; and where
analysis, or reasoning, or precise judg-
ment is to be presented, the papers show
the hands Of mastery writers.
The extreme diversity of the papers is
what should strike the mind of foreign
inquirer; some treat Of high politics and
of great events; others deal with crimes,
questions Of disputed Inheritance; others
again are the reports of commissioners
appointed to investigate the conduct OF
high officials in the provinces, and these
show ..rare analytical power. mastery Of
detail and untiring labor. The writer
thinks that, Judging Of what Is known of
1.-THE slow ways, the enforced secrecy,
circumlocution and official and personal
influences often brought to bear at home,
the methods of China are In some ways
more direct, expeditions and fair. as far
as the indications Of justice Is concerned. "

Bones of the shad.

Eyes, believe did tell you the last

future date would give you the number
of bones there are In shad, said a
Rondout fish dealer to reporter tho

told you how many scales there are on
shad, have given this bone business
careful attention and am now prepared
to give you the correct figures, and also
tell you the manner in which I solved
the somewhat perplexing riddle.
"Any one who has partaken Of shad
knows that the meat Of the fish is full of
fine bones. Being aware that it was use
less to attempt to count all the bones in
the fish one by one, / accomplished the
feat by mathematical process. took
shad that was 16 inches in length and Q
inches wide Six times 16 inches is 06
inches. In inch of shad found there
were 1913 bones, which when multiplied
by the number of inches gives the an

have told you before, during the shad
season hereabout handle about $50 shad

A few years ago leprosy was consid-

People do not generally understand
that the skin shares in the func-

though this is due not so much to as

leaving the skin open, to some extent, to

study of the Muir Glacier.

Since the glacier studies of Tyndal and
Agassiz, nothing more interesting in that
line has been accomplished than the
study of the Muir glacier, by Professor
Wright. This is in Alaska, between 90
dogs. and 60 degs. The peaks rise 1000
to 10000 feet high, and there are many
glaciers. But the Muir is the most i'm

wide. with front wall of nearly 400
feet. Icebergs eternally snap and crash
off this face wall, like roar of artillery.
There is nothing grander in the United

moves at the rate of about 20 feet per day.

thousands years ago. Here Is spot for

Her Own Old Darling.

A good deal Of amusement is furnished
this spring by the wife Of q certain SEN
ator who always calls her husband "Dar
ling" He isn't such one as the term
would be ordinarily applied to, being big
and burly and not very nice about his
person, but she seems to think it is a
pretty pet name, and uses the term of
endearment on all occasions. Whether
she is addressing him in private or public,
or whether she speaks of him to others,
she always says darling" and does it 50
frequently that when Darling Is re-
ferred to now everybody knows, who is
meant.

said to another senator's wife the other
day, ''that am going to put him to bed
when he comes home" }Fa
Darling went to the Capitol early this
morning, /" she remarked to another, ito
attend one Of those horrid committee
meetings. What dreadful things they
arel positively hate them. Why, Oar
ling says if Iit wasn't for his committee
work he could spend lots of time with
me-"
The other senators have ''caught on"
SO to speak, and now seldom allude to
their colleague by any other term-in his
absence of course. One senator came
very near making blunder the other
day by using it at the wrong time. He
entered the committee room little late,
and as he took off his coat and gloves,
looked around the table, at which half
dozen or more senators were seated, and
asked:
Where's Darling?"
There was some frantic gestures toward
a bookcase at the other end of the room,
and the late conner blushed deeply and
looked alarmed. Darling was behind

and if he overheard the remark he showed

A Universal Postage Stamp.
At the first blush the idea appeared ex-
isellent; but unfortunately the Postal
Union convention itself was the first to
interpose an unsurmountable obstacle.
AS already stated, one of the vital princi-
piles of the original convention is that
each country shall retain the postage
which it collects. If universal stamp

stamps and got the profit had done the
work for which it had been paid? None
whatever; and, moreover, it was found
iOn closer examination that the monetary
systems in force in some of the countries
of the Postal Union would not lend
themselves to a universal stamp. Thus.
for example, the twenty-five centime
stamp which prepays half ounce Tor Is

England, is represented in Germany by
90 pfennig stamp; but 90 pfennigs are, in
reality, worth q quarter of centime less
than % confines; and so with the 10
kreuzer Austrian stamp, which, although
it does duty in Austria Hungary for 25

about confines less in value. The
idea, therefore, of the universal postage
