POOR RAND NEEDY FED
ANNUAL DINNERS AT THE MALE Or
PHAN ASYLUM AND OLD
MARKET HALL.
Christmas Celebrations at Leigh-Streoi
Baptist sad Other Sunday schools
in the City.

Everything was auspicious Tor the dinner
at the Male Orphan Asylum Yesterday. The
chapel was packed and many were only
able TO find standing room in the hall.
With her usual taste Mrs GIL had made
il real winter inside. Great mountains OF
snow in the background, with Santa Claus
his four reindeers ard sleigh descending
tho mountain side In the foreground was
an immense Christmas-tree.
The programme. gotten up az the
asvlum. was a credit 90 the printers art
and was as follows: Glory 10 God in the
Highest. full choir; prayer BY Rev. Dr.
Far Merry Christmas Bells choir.
Santa Claus was very admirably repre-
sented dispensing his gifts 90 the good
boys and giving warnings to the dis
obcdlent. He danced ~ gracefully as OF
yOre, and took his departure with regrets,
promising after tho heat Of summer 10 re-
visit the asylum, and hoped to find the
boys IN health aGd happiness.
Mrs. Gill with her wonted generosity
made many presents of books to the boys
for good conduct, and did not forget the
president. DR.. Parker. whom she gave a set
Of beautiful white silk handkcrchicfs.
AIr. James A. Gentry, Of the STATE. made
all these presentations IN his usual happy
STYLE. IN return the boys bv the ald OF
their friends surprised Mrs Gill by pre-
senting her with very elegant lamp with
q beautiful shade. This was done through
Rev DR.. Fair in a most chaste little
speech
The bows then marched down stairs to a
s"mptuous dinner. Mrs. Gill stated that
so generous had been the friends Of the
asylum taat ample provisions had been re-
ceived for half a dozen Christmas dinners
- that the boys Chrlstmos viii really last
till New ears. At this feast as one looked
on he was again forcibly struck with tho
wonderful capabilities Of boys appetite
The Board Of Directors then sat down &c
an elegant dinner. for which the exercises
and TIE lateness of the hour had well-pre-
pared them TO appreciate.
An episode awaited the board and some

whether he ever got hold of any first editions.
"Oh, yes I've got lot of them stored
away in my Chestnut street lodgings y said
he, but nobody seems to want them. When
| used TO offer them for sale customers would
say; No, you can't ring in any old tinck on
US; we must have the latest editions with all
the modern improvements.
II, at the big second hand book store in
Milwaukee, you inquire for first editions, the
proprietor gives you candle and sends you
down into the cellar to tumble over great
heap of books. There's no demand for them
here" be says, ruefully, "and I'll be glad to

once had in Boston Going into the eata-

he had any Cheap books.
"Yes, says he, we've got a thousand or
fifteen hundred of 'em, but they're all boxed

He was AZ old Man. bud . Lively One.

We We're sitting in front Of Davidson's gro
Gerry one summer afternoon, when some one
observed that "0ld Taylor was coming. He
was a dried up, little old man, who might
have been anywhere from so to 100 years old,
and he had voice to remind you of broken
glass rattling in tin pan
Now, boys said the village shoemaker,
who was about As years old, and weighed 175
pounds, "I,ll show you some fun. Pm going
to scare old Taylor half to death"
The old man drove up before any explana
tons could be sought, and after hitching his
old plug he stood for minute to wipe the
dust off his ancient plug bat with his elbow.
The shoemaker took advantage of this to ad-
vance and say:
"Uncle Taylor, it is over twenty years age
that sold you pair Of boots ON tick They
have never been paid for yet"
"They didn't fit, and they never win be

with that heswung and caught the shoemaker
on the jaw and laid him out. He followed it
up by piling on, and he kicked, bit, scratched
and pounded so vigorously that inside OF
three minutes the cobbler was shouting to us
to take him off He was licked man. In
stead of having fun with the old man, the

pEcuLIAalTlEs or BABY.
All Sorts of Funny things Found in Infant
Humanity.

Humanity.
In the course OF a lecture delivered
In New York the other day, distin-
guished female physician said that the
inability of a baby to hold up its head
was not due to the weakness OF the
neck, but to the lack OF development Of
its will power. The act OF standing
was instructive and initiative, while
facial expressions and gesture were
due almost wholly to imitation.
A baby's smile, she said, was the
most misunderstood thing in infancy.
A real smile must have an idea behind
1t. but the expression resembling a
smile, which is so often seen on a very
young baby's face, was without an
idea and was due to the easy condition
OF the stomach or to some other phys
ical satisfaction. The smile with an
idea does not appear earlier than the
fourth week. So, too. with the crying
OF baby. The contortion Of the feat
ures is due to physical causes. The
baby sheds no tears, because the lach-
rymal glands are not developed for
several weeks after birth. The chief
pleasure of all children is to change
from one position to another by their
own efforts. This is the beginning OF
the development OF the will power,
and is often attested in what has been
called the imperative intention of
tears" This is not disclosed until after
the second or third month.
A baby tests every thing by its
mouth, its sense of taste being the
surest and most reliable guide it has.
The attention OF all young children is
difficult to attract, and they must
attain considerable age before they
begin to notice. Then colors and
sounds are most potential. Fear is
known to be manifested by baby
only three weeks old. and in all cases
the sensation is produced by sound
more than by sight Children OF
luxurious and carefully guarded homes
are most wholly without fear, but the
children of poor and exposed parents
always manifest it. Jealousy and
sympathy begin to manifest themselves
In the second year.
Curiosity also begins to develop
here, and proves to be self-feeder
throughout childhood. A little later
the ego begins to appear, and the baby
has the first consciousness OF itself
The ego first appears as a muscular
sense, and the infant gradually learns
to distinguish itself from surrounding
objects. 1t is first the hand that is |
distinguished and then the foot, and |
finally the whole body. Memory does
not appear before the child is two
years of age. All the reasoning of
children is primitive and elementary
and develops slowly. Darwin noticed
an association of ideas in the mind of !
his child when it was only five months
Of age. The lecturer related expert
ences of babies with the first view OF
mirrors, and showed that their actions
under the new conditions were similar
to those of anthropoid apes and dogs
under like conditions. st. Louis Re-

AN ENGLISH REPORTER.
Gen. Pryor Tells Story Which Explains
Him Exactly.


Gen. Pryor tells an amusing story. When
he was in England defending the Irish patri-
cts he was quite desirous of spreading bis
views before the British public. 1t is much
harder to get at an English editor that at an
American, but finally communications were
established, and one evening there was sub
dued knock at the door OF his room in his
hotel. "Come in,r said Gen. Pryor The
door opened about six inches, and through
the aperture sidled 1ilapidated specimen OF
humanity. Softly closing the door the di.
lapidated specimen put his dilapidated bat
on the floor, and, bowling humbly. uttered.
"Gen. Pryor, | believe" "Yes, / am Gen.
Pryor; what can do for your II am a
reporter, sir, and was sent to ask you II you
would give your views on the American as.
pect Of the Irish question:"
Everybody who knows Cen Pryor well
knows that he is one Of the most affable OF
men, and in this case he meant to be particu-
larly pleasant, for he wanted to be inter.
viewed But forgetting that ne was not in
New York, he followed the usual practice Of
statesmen in this country, and began with,
MY dear fellow, really haven't anything
TO say. intending this Of course, as a pre-
lude TO a long conversation What was his
astonishment when the specimen grabbed bis
hat, genuhected still more humbly than be
fore, calculated, Thank you, sir; thank
you, sir" and disappeared To have a re-
porter give up the struggle SO quickly so sur
prised the general that he really sat in his
chair parayzed for the moment, and before
be could recover the Englishman had gone,
and the interview was lost.-New York Sun.
