Two Mothers Arc Unable To Distinguish

ATS not. It's mine"
..No. il isn't; this is yoursy'
And so tho conversation ran for
several minutes.
Mrs. Patrick Collins and Mrs. John
Houston, who both live nj 1873 Delaney
street. found their babies missing when
they returned from market Yesterday
morning. and. after search filled with
thrilling incidents. found the two babies
In the bed of young man who drives
an ice cart and who rents "a $l.50-a-
week room from Mrs. Collins.
Both babies were perfectly nude and
both women claimed the same child.
Both were born on the 2Sth of May
last both were boys both had brown
eyes. and each weighed eleven aud
half pounds. Each mother WAS jealous
of the other. aud both claimed that her
child was the best looking.
The little incident caused no end of
talk in the house. and both Mrs. Col
Inns and Mrs. Houston received con-
CALCULATIONS and tcasings galore. which
they took in perfect good nature until
the last bit of pleasantly, which proved
too much for them.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Collins and
Mrs. Houston left the cherubs sleeping
and started out TO do the days market
ing. They both asked Mrs. Commit
sky. who lives on the second floor. TO
have an eye out for the children.
Mrs. Commitzsky afterward found
that she herself had To 20 out. So. after
taking look nj the sleeping beauties.
she decided that they would be all right
until their mothers returned and went
about her business.
Ii was only half an hour from the
time Mrs. Commitzsky went away until
the mothers returned and found their
babies missing.
When the sweet little darlings were
found placidly sleeping. every woman
on the block was brought in To give
her opinion rs to which was which.
No one, however. could tell one
baby from the other, and things looked
as though the whole business was go
ing To result in very interesting fight.
Matters were finally quieted down u
bit and Mrs. Collins and Mrs. Houston
both took child. though the latter
was sure she had not got the right one.
During the argument both babies be-
gan to cry.
You've got my baby. can tell by
the way he cries!n shouted Mrs. Hous-
ton.

TOO MUCH SHADE.

In a recent number OF the Santa
rian Or. w. T. Parker protests
againsts the thick planting OF trees
very near the house. Not only do
they prevent the free access Of air
and of sunshine or even light, but
they also injure the character of the
soil as suited for permanent occu-
patton. "a soil," says the writer,
''loaded with roots and densely
shaded is unfit for man to live upon
constantly X = Vegetation pro-
duces effect upon the movement Of
the air. Its velocity is checked and
sometimes in thick clusters of trees
or underwood the air is almost
stagnant. If moist and decaying
vegetation be coincident condition
of such stagnation the most fatal
forms of malarious diseases are pro
Quoted. A moist soil is cold and is
generally believed to prediposed to
rheumatism, catarrh and neuralgia.
1t is matter of general experience
that most of people feel healthier on
dry soil.
In some way, which is not clear,
moist soil produces an unfavora-
BILE effect upon the lungs. a moist
soil influences greatly the develop
ment OF the agent, whatever it may
be, which causes the paroxsmal
fevers."
OF course in the desire to avoid
possible dangers it is not necessary
to place house on an absolute bare
spot, away from any tree, as is Of
ten done by rural builders, even
when fine trees are within reach.
Enough trees to produce an effect
agreeable to the eye and comforta-
bly, to shade certain portions of the
house and it's immediate vicinity in
summer, yet not so many as to rem
der the soil, damp or prevent the
free circulation of air, or wholly
shut out the sun. This should be
the householder's ideal. Conifers
are especially bad if many of them
stand close to the house, because
they exclude sunshine in winter,
when one can not have too much of
it.
