cry, for dead children do not cry, and
every now and then some ono says that
that baby is dead. You look with
startled, plying glance, and tho moth
or shakes her head and says: mot

Not yet," why. OF course mot yet"
thinks the doctor, stopping to touch
the child. And mot yet" echoes a
sweet-voiced nurse, daintily draped, a
lady one knows in moment. bending
and lifting the little ono and carrying
it to white, cloan bed in the ward.
For into this ward all the very sick
children are brought, and those that
grow no better during this days sail
are taken with their mothers to the sea-
side hospital and kept there until they
are we'll, or beyond our care forever.
Off at the other end of tho boat is
tho bathroom, with another nurse and
great heaps Of clean towels. Into the
tubs both hot and cold sea water is
pumped. and any child may, with the
doctors permission, have bath. And
how they tumble about and splash in
the water! And how droil some of them
arc! One is there, eight years old only,
her faco numbered with great shining
white spectacles. Down into the tub
she goes, spectacles and all. coming
out white, glistening and dripping. her
long wet hair in lanl1 lines over her face
and those huge spectscles cleaning at
the intruder with sort OF defiant
wonder.
After dinner comes the stop for the
patients destined for tho seaside hosni-
tai. The barge anchors in mid stream
and the patients are carried ashore in
boats, so long and SO many-oarcd that
ono thinks of the early pilgrim fathers
being rowed to some new strange homo.
And the doctor waits on shore with
flag of hope like joyous pioneer.
This seaside hospital a. New Dorp,

siasm. Built on piles, so giving a

take in Judgment they may have made.
The number OF passengers carried on
any one trip is now limited to fourteen
hundred, although until this regulation
was put into effect some hundreds over
this number wcrc sometimes carried.
The average cost day for each passcn-
ger is twenty-four and ono-half cents.
No patient, however. has any thing
to pay for herself, neither on tho barge,
nor yet at the Seaside hospital. She is
guest from the time she starts until
she lands again.
At about 1890 o'clock in the morning
there Is stir and movement on deck,
and up the steps comes man with
milk-can, holding hundred quarts.
Then there is q hurried rush. and the
calm and ubiquitous policeman steps for
ward, and the tumult ceases, and as if by
magic the crowd melts away into long
limo of eager women and children, each
one with cup, or tin pail or its cover,
held out to be filled with tho warm sweet
milk. No one is limited as to quantity,
neither mothers nor children. Some of
the wannest of tho babies open their
eyes gratefully, and one sees tho suspi-
cion of color coming into thcir checks.
A more cheerful atmosphere is felt
everywhere. Some of tho Italian
babies, wrapped tightly in colorcd
cloths, begin to play on tho floor. their
long earrings making jingling sound.
Tho Italian mothers begin to smile,
flashing their white teeth at lis over
their shoulders. The old Irish woman
in her clean white frilled cap has
settled down with a placid smile, hay
ing found the ncighbor' children that
she brought on board and lost.
Tho bundles that have lain about on
tho benches begin to unroll. Out of
some come crusts and stale bananas, out
of others como babies. Some of these

We had stopped at Fifth street. Our
barge had floated, early that morning,
from under the shadow of Bellevue
Hospital to whore the second landing
is made. We had taken on at Twenty
sixth stroet babies without number,
smileless babies SO wizened and wan,
SO palo and weak, and SO silent too,
most OF them, that ones heart ached.
Not babies at all, one began to believe
after looking into their faces. Old with
an age that had known no youth. drawn
with suffering always mute, withered,
inscrutablc. No. verify, not babies, but
iIcarnations of a misery centuries old
the aggregates of all mans sin to man,
his sorrow, his unrolieved despair.
1t was in vain, that, during that first
half hour, the breezcs camo fresh from
the river, and the flags floated freely
against the blue Sky above Tho weight

out-wit his brother and so suffer such

too heavily. Not even when gradual
understanding Of this philanthropy at
work began to dawn on the mind conld
one throw Off the gloom. For just then
thcrc came the landing at Fifth street,
and more babies, moro misery, moro
squalor, more wretchedncss.
''Enteritis," "Mcningitis," ''Gastri-
tbs" called tho doctors to each other in
low tones, with quick flashes Of tho eye
and wise mods over tho heads of tho
people, while some of tho babies arc
passed on board, and others, with con-
tagious maladics, are sent back on
shore. And the band plays above, and
the crowds surge below, and tho low
tones of tho doctors fall full on the ear.
1t all makes drama of human life,
haunting the memory like a cry.
Tho holiday barge, to be sure, is not
invariably there. Tho landing is al
most always made in quiet, tho doctors
needing no policeman, The mothers un-
distracted by any rush. And after tho
barge has swung into the stream and
the breezes have begun to stir faint
color in some of the cheeks, one begins
to realize the wonder of it all, tho
greatness of tho charity, the marvel of
its organization. One looks with q sort
OF glad surprise at those mothers who
have come swarming from evory dark
and noisomo alley, from out of damp
cellars, down narrow, crooked stairs,
bring their pinched and white-faced
babies for breath Of this sweet, puro
air. Ono fo-gets the woes in delight at
tho remedy.

the sick children OF tenement houses on
free, fresh air excursions, and not only
the sick children, but the worn and
weary mothers as we'll. For it is one
of the wise provisions of this organiza-
ton that no sick child need be sonar
ated from its mother. So that in this
way the child and the parent are both
spared the nervous strain of parting;
both are benefited, and above all, the
mother has an opportunity to imbibe
little wisdom in regard to the caro- OF
her baby. The trained nurses are there
every moment to direct hor. The doc
tors are in and out among the patients
all day long.

of her old admirers. There are two

room where every day all tho mothers
sit down to freshly cooked hot dinner.
