While Baby sat in his mamma's lap,
O.d Dame Cricket came out in cap
Whose broad, full frill went hapity flap.
And she bent her crooked little black knee

And Baby jumped and giggled with glee,
And cried we hear such funny noise
In the chink-who lives therc?' Il and my boy s,
l and my ten little crook kneed boys!'

lied Scotch caps on their carly hair?'
No; their little bald heads are bare

What do you do when IL ey quarrel?' ooh,
Their ten wee cots stand i'll row,
And straight, straight straight to bed they 60.

These fair young sportswomcn play fair
They bet with their own money. and there
fore they are fairly entitled to Whatcvc'
they may gain by it. TIL" same cannot b.
said of certain young beauty who manages
to keep from beng elected from Il large
hotel, but is nevertheless an adventures.
She is il bird of prey, although IL very pretty
one. She has solved that difficult prObl m
which is il poser for most operators of her
class-thc question how to take money
from masculine admirers without thereby
chara"tcrizng herself in their estimation
for what she really is. She goes to the
races without fail, and she is quite able by
the roGucry of her eyes, the wit of her
.onGuc, and the beauty of herself and her
clothes, 10 surround herself with group of
moncycd chaps. by the most subtle AM
covert of means she induces these dupcS to
separately and quietly offer to buy tickets
for her ON the races.

she will say, for instance.
Then why don't you bet on herr" an adj
mrcr asks.
Cant afford it. I've lost all can stand
to-day"
Will you let me put ten dollars on for
you?"
oh, that would be letting you bet your
money with certainty of loss to YOU"
Nevertheless she permits the sacrifice of
his money to her gentle prowcss. If she
loses, it is nothing out of her own peck t;
if she wins il is so much clear gain. BY
fcp 'ating the operation as often as feasible,
she enjoys an income quite sufficient for Il
lively and luxurious season ut Long Branch.
It would not seem easy for the lawn-tcn-
mis- girl to do anything new or unusual. We
have been accustomed to her for ten years,
and we are thoroughly familiar with her
tricks of grace and her cOquctry of costume.
Nevertheless, some ingenious player ut
Long Branch has invented brand-nCw de-
vice for compelling attention. and. as she
neglected TO patent it, it is being adopted by
imtatOrs. Somewhat shortened skirts have
all along been worn at the game. But this
gi goes to the field in soft flannel gown,
which fits her superbly and reaches
to her heels, looking in every re-
spcct like jaunty afternoon cos
tune for ordinary wear. But when about
to begin to play. she reaches down to the
bottom of the skirt. picks it up with her
hands and lifts it to the level of her hip.
There is only an instant of startled concern
in the spectator. for the striped pcttcoat
disclosed is really an undcrskirt perfectly
fit to show. The gathered outer drapery
she passes round her figure and ties in a
loop behind. thus making IA complete trans
formation from walking dress into the
cutest imaginable tennis costume. don't
know the identity of this genius or woul
same girl who is distinctive on Ocean
avenue by means of driving II donkey at
tached to cart. The beast balkS often,
and the ado made by Jealous bcaus in start
ing the cranky beast again is accompanied
by activity of muscle and tongue on her
own part. Her adventures with her curious
turnout have for week constituted the
novel episodes of the afternoons on the
crowded thoroughfare. KAMERA.

possesses an indefnable expression OF
motheriiness, earnest good humor and

old school grace that is winning rather

to style in dress, but there is none of the
soiled tawdryness of attire of some gen

which many of her own school affect.
She never wore corset, and attributes
the remarkable uniformity of her good

Sanitaria for C0nsumptives.

The proceedings of the Congress OF
American Physi ians and Surgeons, re;
Gently held at Washington, were hardly
of character to interest non.p .profes.
sional readers, observes the New York
Obserrer. Perhaps an exception might
be made in the case of paper read BY q
Brooklyn physician on the value OF
sauitaria for the treatment of con.
sumptives. He dwelt at length upon
the importance OF sending patients to
properly conducted institutions instead
of simply allowing them to 60 to some
summer hotel. He called attention to
the fact that the greatest caution must
be used in the application of so simple .
remedy as ''open air." and he recon-
mended the method used in Falkenstein,
in Germany, of letting the patients rest
on steamer chairs or lounges for hours
da:ly in the air. He called this method
taking "an air bath" Spec al reference
was made to the danger which patients
undergo who live with we'll people from
the fact that consumptives hardly ever
recognize the severity of their illness.
Such innocent pleasures as rowing, ten
mis- playing, mountain climbing, or even
walking long distances. which are legiti-
mate means for enjoyment of the well,
NAV do much harm to the consump-
lives, -.

A MARINE HORROR.
A Fishing Schooner Cut in Two
and Sunk by a Steamer.
Twenty-One Fishermen Drowned,
and Only Four Saved.

On the ca tern edge Of the Banks of New
foundland, at ten minutes to three o'clock,
the other morning, the National Line steam
ship Queen from Liverpool bound for New
York, cut down the French fishing schooner
Madeleine which had twenty-five hands on
board, all of whom but four were drowned.
Captain Healey, of the Queen, was not on
deck, and the bridge was in charge of Sec
ond Officer jackson The weather was lit
tie hazy, and the steamer was going at about
ten knots an hour, her usual speed being
eleven knots officer jackson says that he
saw the schooner ahead, showing only
white light. which he supposed was at her
binnacle' AS he could see no side lights he
supposed she was at anchor, and by keeping
on his course could easily clear her.
An instant after he heard two blasts on
fop-horn from the schooner, signifying that
she was ON the port tack. The Queens whis-
tie was blown furiously, but it was too late
to do anything, and the steamer crashed into
the schooner striking her amidships, slightly
on an angle. The big steamer crashed right
through the smaller vessel, cutting her in two,
without stopping the Queens headway to
any appreciable extent Immediately there
was considerable excitement on the Queen.
The people in their berths were
alarmed by the crash, and were afraid that
Thompson and her theatrical troupe were
among the l49 cabin pas eugerS on the Queen,
and Miss Thompson said that all were badly
scared The excitement was soon allayed
when it was found that the only damage
suffered by the Queen was the loss OF her
foretopmast and trihing injury about her
bow. The steamer was run ahead for short
distance for fear Of the propeller being
fouled by wreckage, and then the engines
were put at full speed backward.
In four minutes the first boat was lowered,
and two others were in the water very short
time afterward, while the fourth boat was
ready to lower in case of necessity Within
ten minutes four men were picked up. No
others could be seen. The Captain OF the
schooner, Dominick Roulet, was floating on
a trunk when rescued, and Jules Jaquet, the
second mate, Charles Meniger. and Marion
Solomon, the cook, were taken out of the
water. No one else was saved, although the
Queen Law to near where the collision took
place for nearly four hours before proceed

in the morning.
yiThe Madeleine was two-masted fishing
smack of 154 tons register. Every one on
board was a native Of France, except the
colored cook, and even he had been Sd long
there, and on French smacks, that he knew
no other language The Madeleine hal been
out for nearly six months, and was preparing
to return home when the collision occurred

fell the wreckage Of joists and planks and a
section Of newly built Ebrick wall about
