What curious thing it is to think that
that wonderful new baby will turn into
commonplace old baby in a year or two-that
with the advent of number two his reign is
over.
A little girl, though she is only years
old, takes an interest in that new baby, feels
that she must help take care Of it, goes about
materially airing its garments and holding
the pincushion for nurse, delights in its baths,
and boasts about her baby brother before she
can talk plain. But the boy-that is another
matter. He scowls when that wrinkled
piece of humanity is presented to him, and
refuses to kiss it. He wants none of it. Why
should it have his place on mammals shout
deri Why should he be told to go awayl He
thinks as ill of it as his limited knowledge of
mundane affairs will permit him to think of
anything. He has been known to request that
1t might be ''frowed away" and to call it
"nassy sing; y and, indeed, his trials are very
great Life has altered siglially for him.
He feels it to his hearts core, if be is made of
sensitive stuff
1t is all very well for Bridget to take him
into the kitchen and tell him to ''be a nice
lad, an she'll make him cake" He wants
his mother; he never was turned out Of
mothers room before. His heart is full
Well for him, at this time, if be has grand
mother ready to make him her idol, little
jealous for him as the first born Then, indeed,
his ways shortly become the ways of pleasant
ness, and life assumes holiday, cake, candy,
gingerbread and toy aspect But in any
event that old baby has a very unhappy
day or two before it, season when knowl-
edge of the bitterness of life comes to him
prematurely, and he understands the feelings

Most mothers have dread of romps, so
they lecture the girls daily on the proprieties,
and exhort them to be little ladies. They
like to see them very quiet and gentle and as
prim as possible The lot of such children
is rather pitiable, for they are deprived Of
the fun and frolic which they are entitled to-
Children-boys and girls-must have exercise
to keep them healthy. Deprive them of it,
and they will fade away like flowers without
sunshine. Running, racing, skipping, climb
ing-these are the things that strengthen the
muscles, expand the chest and build up the
nerves. The mild dose of exercise taken in
the nursery with calisrhenics or gymnastics
will not invigorate the system like a good
romp in the open air
Mothers, therefore, who counsel their little
girls to play very quietly make a mistake.
Better the laughing, rosy checked. romping
girl than the pale, lily faced one, who is
called every inch lady. The latter rarely
breaks things, or tears her dresses, or tires
her mothers patience as the former does
| but, after all, what does the tearing and
| breaking amount tol 1t is not wise policy
| to put an old head on young shoulders. Child,
| hood ii the time for childish pranks and
plays, The girls will grow into womanhood
soon enough. Let them be children as long
as they can. Give them plenty Of fresh all
and sunlight, and let them run and romp o:
much as they please. By all means give u.

One Is often tempted to smile at some of
the questions relating TO etiquette, asked
through the columns of the press by young
men and women The answers are so obyi-

perience-that one cannot help wondering
why THESE Young people do not consult their
parents, Tor, making due allowance for the
ease oi orphans, many of those who seek in
io'iha'ioh In this way must possess fathers

occurred 10 these Young persons that they
snould consult their parents in kindred mat
oersi ana viewed in this light, the subject
becomes both sad and a serious one.

certainly TO blame for this state of things:

cnlloren to grow up much like unbroken

A French journal published for the pur-
pose of giving curious information has been
investigating the story that during the Reign
Of Terror Mile de Sombreuil was made to
drink glass Of human blood as the price of
her life, and asserts that this honored legend
is untrue. All the foundation there could be
for it, the paper says, is that she probably
was asked to drink glass of wine to the
health of the republic, and the hand of the
man who gave it to her might have been
dripping with blood-New York Sun.

ROBERT GARRETT is INSANE.
Constantly Pursued by Specie
Which He Calls jay Gould.

Constantly Pursued by Specter
Which He Calls jay Gould.
From the New York World dug TO-
1t has become clear to the friends of
Robert Garrett during the past week that
he is really insane, and that there is but
faint hope of his ultimate recovery. They
sadly concede that the sooner he is removed
from New York and put under restraint
the better it will be for himself and his
family. He is now so far gone that he can
sleep only by the persistent use of hypoder-
mic injections of morphine. In his wake
ful moments he is constantly guarded by
trained men for fear he may do something
dangerous Even bis wife and one or two
immediate relatives who are with him are
afraid to 20 near the patient when he is
which he is subject. These are frequently
succeeded by periods of depression and
melancholy.
When Mr.. Garrett talks he quickly be-
comes excited, and then Jay Gould is the
person who seems to appear before him as
a menacing specter. He talks to everybody
near him about jay Gould, who, he says,
has robbed him OF his telegraph and other
properties, and is planning to take away
what is left. Mr.. Garrett has accused tho
men who are guarding him of being paid
by JAY Gould to dog his footsteps and muir
der him, and he has attempted to break
away from their care and escape from the
Brevoort house. Once he rushed TO an
open window and attempted to jump out,
while calling loudly for help. There
have been several occurrences like
that during his recent illness, and as Mr..
Garrett is strong and powerfully built
man it required all the strength and cour-
age of his nurses to restrain him. To his
doctors Mr.. Garrett has spoken earnestly
about Jay Gould, asking them 10 save him
from the millionaire, and the same story
has been repeated to the few friends who
have been admitted behind the carefully
guarded doors of his rooms.
"You are glad that jay Gould has
euchered me and you are friend of his"
said Mr.. Garrett, with wild glare In his
eyes, to one of these
"Why, Mr.. Garrettr' was the reply, II
am your friend"
mo, you're not; say you are friend
OF Jay Gould and you como here for him."
said Mr.. Garrett
This painful scene was only brought to a
close by the retis.s yent Of the caller, who
knew that Mr.. Garrett was in a bad way
mentally, but had hitherto had no idea that
he was so far gone. When he speaks of Jay
Gould il is generally in connection with the
telegraph business and the absorption of
tire Baltimore and Ohio telegraph system
by the Western Union. This Mr. Garrett
regards as the result of carefully laid plot

THE RADE.

THE coming season promises to be a pros
i porous one, Notwithstanding it being
campaign year and universally supposed to be
q bad one for business.
1t may or may not be so, but there is one
thing we do know, and that is, the season now
quickly passing has been more than good with
us, and we owe it entirely to the manner of con-
Quoting our business
We do not trouble ourselves as TO the ques-
ton of free trade or protection. We leave that
for wiser heads than ours. But we have little
platform of our own, in which you will find one
PET PLANK which we never change, and that
is THOUGHTFULNESSa and CONSIDERATION
for the interest our customers and BIG BAR
GAINS for LITTLE MONEY. And how do we
accomplish it? you naturally ask. Our answer
is this. In the first place, our method of con
Quoting business is such that we cannot help
but succeed in our efforts to please and benefit
our customers. In the second place, the pleas
ure to each and every customer TO know that
they are not paving
