THINGS A BABY OAN DO.

What baby can do is explained by
Give Talents of Women" new book
A baby can beat any alarm clock ever
invented waking a family up in the
morning.
Give it chance and it can smash
more dishes than the most industrious
servant girl in the country.
1t can fall down oftener and with less
provocation than the most expert tum-
bier IN the circus ring.
1t can make more genuine fuss over
simple brass pin than Its mother would
over broken back.
1t can choke itself black in the face
with greater ease than the most ac-
complished wretch that was ever exc
cuted.
1t can keep family in a constant
turmoil from morning till night and
night till morning without once varying
Its tune.
1t can be relied upon to sleep peace
fully all day when its father is always
on business and cry persistently at night
when he is particularly sleepy.
1t may be the naughtiest, dirtiest,
ugliest, most fretful baby in all the
world, but you can never make its
mother believe it, and you had better
not try.
1t can be charming and model in
FAINT when no one is around, but when
visitors are present it can exhibit more
bad temper than both of Its parents put
together.
1t can brighten up a house better
than all the furniture eyer made, make
sweeter music than the finest orchestra
ever organized /; fill larger place in its
parents breasts than they knew they
had, and when it goes away it can cause
a greater blank than all the rest of the
world put together.

A SERIOUS MISTAKE.
How Near n Wealthy Banker Came to Being
Stuffed With straw.

A rich foreigner named Sutherland,
naturalized in Russia, was banker to
the court and in high favor with the
Empress. He was reused one morn
ing by the information that his house
was surrounded by guards and that
Reliew, the minister OF police, desired
to speak with him. This parsonage,
entering without further ceremony, at
once announced his errand.
"Mr. Southerland," said he, ri am
charged by my gracious sovereign with
the execution of sentence, the sever
ity of which both astonishes and grleves
me, and 1 am ignorant as to how you
can so far have excited the resentment
of her majesty"
81 am as much in the dark as your
self," replied the banker; "but what
are your orders1'
81 have not the courage to tell you"

THE SEVENTH SON.
An Idea That He Has Always Possessed
Clairvoyant Powers-The Belief General
Its Origin.

In advertisements of fortune tellers
and other dealers in the future it
must have been observed how ear
nestly they dwell on the circum-
stance of being a seventh daughter
or son. The idea that the seventh
child of the same sex born without
an interruption in the line possesses
the spirit OF prophecy is an old one
and it might be difficult to trace its
origin. The seventh son of a sew
enth son is still more gifted seer
from whose marvellous provision alb
solutely nothing is hidden. He is also
a fine physician and by his faculty OF
clairvoyance is enabled to discern
diseases without asking questions or
making any sort of examination. An
old writer says: 1t is manifest by ex-
perience that the seventh male child
by just order (never girl or wench
being born between) doth heal only
with touching (through natural gifD
the Kings Evil, which is a special
gift of God, given to Kings and
Queens, as daily experience doth
witness A French writer says of
this particular cure that it must be
done after having three or nine days
before touching the sick. In York
shire, England, it is the custom from
time immemorial to bring up the sew
enth boy in one line of succession to
the practice of medicine. The same
practice prevails in Scotland, and the
spaewives or fortune tellers always
claim to be seventh daughters.
In the diary of Walter Yonge the
following occurs: In January, IS 8,
OF, it is reported from London by
creditable letters that a child being
the seventh son of his mother, and
no woman child born between,
healeth deaf, blind and lame, but the
parents of the child are popish, as so
many say as are healed by it. The
Bishop of London, DR.. Vaughn,
caused divers to be brought to the
child as aforesaid, who said short
prayer as he imposed his hands upon
as It's said he did unto others, but
no miracle tolloweth any, so that it
appeareth to be plain lie invested
TO win grace to the popish faction.

Ge,.nony Acting the Hog.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The president
to-sfsty transmitted to both houses of con-
gress report from the secretary of state
with later correspondence (since Deem
Der 81, 1888 } exhibiting the progress of
the disturbances in Samoa up to the
present date III his message of trans
missal the president says: In
the midst of the disturbances which
have arisen at Samoa such powers have
been exercised as seem to be within ex-
ecutive control under the constitution
and laws through negotiation and agree
ment with Great Britain and Germany.
These negotiations were at one time in
terrupted by such action on the part of
the German government as appeared to
be inconsistent with their further con-
tInuance. Germany, however, still as
serts as from the first that she has
no intention to overthrow the
native Samoan government or to
ignore our treaty rights and she still in
vites our government to join her in re-
storing peace and quiet. But thus far
her propositions on this subject seem to
lead to such prepOnderance of German
power in Samoa as was never cOntem-
plated by the United State and is incon-
sistent with every prior agreement
or understanding, while her recent con-
duct as between the native warning fac
lions gives rise to the suspicion that she
is not content with a neutral position.
Acting under the restraints which our
constitution and laws have placed upon
the executive power, [ have insisted that
the autonomy and independence of Samoa
should be scrupulously preserved accord
ing to the treaty made with the Samoa
vpT4eI OF % re nd
the understanding with each other. L
have protested against every act
apparently tending in the opposite direc-
ton and during the existence of internal
disturbances one or more vessels of war
have been kept in the Samoan waters to
protect American citizens and property.
The recent collision between the forces
from a German man-of-war stationed in
the Somoan waters and body of natives
rendered the situation so delicate and
critical that the warship Trenton, under
the immediate command of Admiral
Kimberly, was ordered to join the Nipsic
already at Samoa for the better protec-
ton of the persons and property of our
citizens and the furtherance of the efforts
to restore order and safety. The views
of the executive in respect to a just poll
cy to be pursued with regard to this
group of islands which lie in the direct
highway of a growing and
important commerce between Austria
liza and the United States have
found expression in the correspondence
and documents which have thus been
fully communicated TO congress, and the
subject in its present stage is submitted
for wider discussion conferred by the
constitution upon the legislative branch
of government.
The accompanying correspondence re-
ferred to by the president was not sent to
the house, but accompanied the copy of
the letter of transmittal TO the senate,
and has not yet been laid before that

The Fate of Negro Whose Crime Was Double
and Was of Peculiar Atrocity-Mur-
der and Outrage.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA Jan. 5.-A negro,
George A. Meadows, was hung at Pratt
mines this morning by mob of quiet but
determined men who had him in charge
all day yesterday and all last night.
While Mrs. Kellum, his victim, was
almost positive in her Identification this
morning just as she was yesterday, she
still asked the mob not to hang him,
as she might possibly be mistaken.
There is little doubt that this was because
she shrank from the responsibility of
saying what she knew would cause GER
tain death, and the mob so regarded it
1t was proved at the coroner s inquest
yesterday that Meadows had previously
ravished negro girl, and the crowd this
morning concluded this solved what little
doubt there was as to his being the raw
Usher in this case, and so swung him up
and riddled his body with bullets. His
body hangs at the mines now about one
half mile from the scene of his crime.
He portested his innocence to the last.
