The suggestions made through the
columns of THE SUNDAY MORNING
NEWS by the experienced ex-wardens
of the almshouse that the little chill
dren should be separated from the
adult paupers is one that cannot be
acted upon too speedily. A system
that brings budding childhood of the
impressionable age when every infu-
ence that surrounds them goes into
their growth anddevelopment with the
lazy, shiftless, degraded men and
women, who make up the County's
pauper community, can lot be to
severely condemned. That seventy-hve
per cent of the little ones brought up
in such an atmosphere, turn out,
as Warden Osborne estimates, to be
useful if not valuable members
of society, is scarcely credible.
No one can say how much
more valuable citizens they might be-
come if they had not these lazy and
degraded exemplars continually be-
fore their eyes. They are apt to fall
into a state of easy contentment with
the dronish society they live in. And
SO budding ambition is withered and
the career of the youth is at an end.
For the children's sake the separation
should be made.
The county would get back the cost
probably in the end, by the decrease
in its pauper population. Warden
Osborne, all the wardens say, in fact,
that some who have spent their child
hood in the almshouse, go back to
spend their mature years there. 1t
would be public economy to reduce
the number to the minimum.

forty young birds this year, and do not
consider it so very difficult, though, like
a great many other things, it requires
constant care. The two great points are
cleanliness and plenty of good nourishing
food and a variety. Birds are like people
in thar they require change in their food,
and yet some people will give their birds
seed and water only, until the poor little
prisoners actually die of starvation. |
give mine good light bread soaked in
milk, ripe apples, hard boiled eggs, cold
potatoes, and almost everything that |
eat myself, with the exception Of salty
and greasy food, and | hardly ever give
them anything $ xeet, unless it be sweet
apples. I think it is Indispensable for
birds. I never feed the mixed feed kept
in stores to my birds. Ny birds are

the first baby it was covered with blue
silesla and dotted swiss. But when the
other babies came an old cretonne for The
inside and out did very well. The sides
were padded with a piece of old bed quilt,
and a little mattress made for the bottom.
When baby fell asleep the basket was
easily carried into a quiet room, which
could be made dark"
The idea is not u bad one. Such a bas-
ket would do very nicely for the babies
who are just learning to sit alone. The
padding would save the little heads from
many u hard bump, and also keep the
little ones from feeling the drafts which
rush along the floor.

WONDERFUL TOYS.

The large clothing store of Marshall
& Ball, on Newark avenue. looks as
though it had been converted into a toy
store. Everywhere in the immense build
ing are pretty and useful toys. These
are not for sale, but the patrons of this
reliable firm are given these toys to carry
home to the little folk.
With the chlldren's clothing the pres
ents given are costly and handsome large
sleds and targets, tools and numerous
other things which the children will be
delighted with on Christmas.
These gifts with the purchase of cloth
ing save the patrons quite a sum at this
expensive time of the year and please the
the children An immense reduction in
prices has been made here and fine over
coats are selling for half the sum they
have formerly commanded. This is es-
p~ecially noticeable in the children's de
partment where the wants of children are
made a speciality.
The windows Of this large establish
ment are always tastefully arranged and
attractive. Santa Claus has been occupy
ing one, and large crowds come daily to
see him. The line of stock sold by this
firm is the best TO be found in this city
and thoroughly reliable. For useful
presents as we'll as pretty toys make a
purchase at Marshall & Balls and the
money will be well invested.

watch and Purse Combined.

1t is d lamentable fact that but one
women In ten can reach her pocket to
put her purse in it Sometimes it is de-
posted in the seat of the car; sometimes
it is left on the counter of u shop; again,
it Is so carefully put away at home that
several weeks are devoted to its search,
and it is at last discovered in 4 of
Charley's coats that he has put away TO
go to the cleaners.
Where do you keep your watch? Hang
ing at the side, forgotten at home, or
tucked in some mysterious way in the
bosom OF your frock just SO you can't get
at it without un%buttoning the bodice, eaus-
ing a blush to come upon the face of the
messenger boy? Be wise in your genera
tion and make a syndicate, q combine, to
look AT, and the little watch peeping out
from the corner OF your purse is a con
slant reminder to you that time is money.
You win clutch your purse with greater
vigor when you know it contains your
ti.ne framed in small diamonds in IL;
then, too, you will not be likely to let il

has not got the combination to see how
lucky you are.-New York san.

SORT OF CANDY WEDDING.
QUEER CEREMONIES FOR TURKISH
BRIDES AND BRIDEGRo0Ms.

Does This Give the True Origin of the
Phrase Yum Y~um?"-Queer super
s~titions about Birds-A Combination
Watch and Purse.
The wedding ceremonies usually lase
about a week, and the maiden comes to
the house of her husband to be married.
She is supposed to bring a trousseau with
her, and this consists of a good lot of
clothes and underclothes, Of linen and
bedding, OF copper kitchen utensils, and
of the Turkish furniture for q couple OF
rooms. The furniture of a Turkish house
is not very elaborate. The family usually
sleeps upon the floor, ard o set of bedding
consists of two mattresses, W quits ana
three cotton holsters. The family eat
largely upon trays, and the Turks believe
that fingers are a good deal cleanert than
knives and forks,
Weddings are very expense, Large
amount of money are given away to beg
gars, and wedding gowns cost three nun
dred dollars and upwards, The Teasing
goes on at the houses OF both bridegroom
and bride, and the wedding feast usually
begins on Monday. On Tuesday the bride
is taken to the bath, and the bridegroom
pays the expenses of this operation. On
Wednesday the bridegroom's lady friends
go TO the mouse OIL the Drlue, Wnero lHey
have a concert and feast. At this time
the hands of the bride are stained with
henna, and they begin to deck her out for
the wedding.
On Thursday the bride is taken to the
groom's house in a great procession. She
is met by the groom, n the two eat
candy together after the ann of the
exchange of gum or wax of girls in the
primary schools. The idea is that moth
ing but sweetness is hereafter to pass
from the lips of one to the other. The
bridegroom has not seen the bride until
this time. At the time of the betrothal
the mother Of the groom takes a present
of candy to the bride. The blushing
maiden bites one of the choicest bits in
two, eats half of it, and sends the other
half back TO her prospective husband. He
Is supposed to receive it with joy as q love-
Offering, and to eat it, smacking his lips,
and saying, Yum, yum" Weddings
Usually take place in the afternoon. The
bridegroom says a prayer in the presence
of the bride, and he kneels on her bridal
veil as he does so. The groom has to get
the bride to speak before supper will be
served, and it is a matter OF pride with
her to keep silent as long as possible.-F.

superstitions About Birds.

There is a widely spread belief among
schoolboys in many parts of the country
that it is unlucky to kill a robin, and it
would be the probable punishment for so
doing. Even the nest of the bird is COM
paratively safe, though why it should
be thus favored is not quite clear, unless,
as has been suggested by some writers,
it owes it popularity to the story of the
1.-THE Babes in the Wood" which ballad,
perhaps, may also have given rise to the
popular notion that the robin will cover
with leaves or moss any dead person If
may chance to find them.
There certainly, however, seems to be no
substantial reason why he should be
more favored than the other members of
the feathered tribe, Tor after all, ne is a
very pugnacious and impudent little fell
low, but, perhaps, these are the qualities
which nave brought him into notice and
made him popular. We are informed in
the old rhyme that
The robin and the wren
Are Gods cock and hen;
nevertheless, the smaller bird does not
enjoy the public protection which is af-
forded to the redbreast, and at one time
it was considered the proper thing to hunt
the wren on st. Stephens Day.
When one was caught several curious
and interesting ceremonies were gone
through. The bird was generally carried
tr~iumphantly round the town on a pole,
and in some cases was afterward buried
in the ch%urchyard. In the Isle of Man q
feather taken from a wren killed on one
of these occasions was considered a most
eficacious protection against shipwreck
for a period of twelve months, and form
erly Manx.hshermen would seldom think
of putting to sea without one Except in
a few localities, the practice of Wren
h1nfin0 hpC now M dOnhf, faIinn info
disuse, and at the present day it is kept
up as a rule only by boys, who retain the
custom for their own amusement.-Chdm-
