Hester's Grandson.
Little Hester has grown up brothers
and sisters and nephews and nieces
who are older and bigger than she is
herself. 1t has never occurred to her
to be surprised at this; it is part of
her world as she has found it, She
has not yet discovered that this state
of things is somewhat unusual.
Not long ago M of her married
sisters sent for Hester to come and see
a new baby, and accordingly the child
was taken by a nurse to see this new
relative. She looked at the baby in
mingled establishment and delight.
well, little sister, " asked the baby's
mother, s'how do you like your new
nephew2n
"Oh, / like him, the child answered
earnestly; but he can't be a nephew;
he is too small. But perhaps, +" she
added, upon second thought, The is
big enough to be a grandson."-Can-

THE invasion of Silkmaker Giver-
naud's premises by the police of West
Hoboken without warrant has a
strong flavor of police outrage. -Four
or five young men and women were
amusing themselves in the coach
house when of a sudden the
doors were burst in and the
bluecoats took them in custody.
The police of West Hoboken should
understand that mans house is his
castle, and that they have no right o
step over a threshold without the au-
thority of a judicial warrant especially
empowering them to do so.
If all the stories that are told of the
orgies of the disturbed and surprised
merry makers are true, however, the
police need not feel alarmed over their
transgression. The young men and
women whose privacy they invaded
will not care to have the details laid
bare to the public gaze by a prosecu-
tion.

The BOND OF NablOnal AmILy is Tr1enQiy
Personal Knowledge.
If we are fortunate when a man like
Mr.. Lowell, or his successors, Mr.. Phelps
or Mr.. Lincoln, is our representative in
England, how fortunate are we when a
multitude of those who also represent
what is best and most characteristic in
America are familiar figures in foreign
countries! There are many such often
going and coming by whom we should all
be glad to be estimated. They have, in
deed, a serious responsibility, of which
we will hope they are conscious. Al
though they have no official character,
they are still our ambassadors, ordinary,
il not extraordinary, and their conduct
credits or discredits all their country
men. In other years the official Amer
lean Minister in a foreign city has been
known, under theillusion OF the grape, and
attired in raiment which was certainly
not official, to harangue from the
balcony of the hotel the wondering pas
sengers in the street. Another, dangling
his feet from the side of a barouche, with
a cigar at the Bowery angle in his mouth,
and a iercely cooked hat on his head, an
nounced in another city that he'd be -
if he wasn't a free American citizen.
Happily we are no longer at the mercy of
Choctaw representatives. But every
steamer takes away a crowd of American
ENJOYS by whose intelligence and conduct
we may all feel glad to be judged. They
are very sure TO win for their country the
respect of other lands, and to make serious
and menacing troubles with them much
more difficult. ''If only all anti-slavery
men were like you," said a planter
to Wendell Phillips, with whom, not
knowing him, he had been taking in a

Proportions Of Che Body.

The proportions of the human body
as given by the best authorities are as
follows, the length of the head being
the standard of Recommendations
the bottom of chin to breast bone,
one-half length of head; from top to
bottom of breast bone or sternum,
one-half length of head; from bottom
of sternum to beginning of lower
limbs, two lengths; from thigh to bot
tom of knee, two lengths; from the
bottom of the knee to the ankle, one
and a half lengths; from the ankle to
the ground, one-half length. Adding
to these measurements one length for
the head itself gives eight lengths for
the proper height of the body of men
Women are slightly shorter, the
proportion of their head to the height
being about as one to seven or eve
and one-half. The arm from the arm
pit to the elbow joint is one and one
quarter times the length of the head,
from thence to the wrist ono and one
quarter, and from the wrist to the end
of the middle finger three quarters of
the length of the head. The distance
between the right middle finger and
the same finger on the left hand is,
when the arms are spread horizontal
ly from the body, equal to the height
Of the figure. 1t follows, therefore,
that the breadth of the body from
armpit to armpit is one and one-half
lengths of the head.-St. Louis Post

A Statue with q Pretty History.

u HRAtA -
The Queen has received q pen and
ink sketch of a statue just raised in
Germany which has a pretty history.
1t is set up at Kaiserlautern to the
memory of the late Emperor Freder-
lex. Some years ago, while still
Crown Prince, he paid a visit to the
hospital at Kaiserlautern, where q
number of Protestant ladies care for
sick children. The Crown Prince
went about in his kindly way, stoop-
ing his tall form to talk with some of
the little ones. Among them was a
little cripple, son of an infantry SER
geant. The Grown Prince asked his
name, and when the little fellow shy
ly said it was Frederick, the Prince
took his little namesaKe in his arms
and caressed him. The little boy was
attracted by the stars and crosses
which the Crown Prince (who was in
uniformly wore on his breast and be-
gan lingering them while the prince
chatted with him. This little episode
was never forgotten at Kaiserlautern,
and when the Emperor died they
raised his statue with the little boy in
his arms playing with the medals on
his breast. The statue, which is of
bronze and a little over life size,
stands in the quadrangle of the hos.
pital close by the spot where he took
up the little cripple. Cor. LSuerpooi

irrigation On a Big Scale.

The Northern Pacific, Yakima and Kit
titas Irrigation company was Incorporated
on the 18th Of August with VIM. Ker,
Paul Schulze, Albert Klienschmidt, Wal
ter N. Granger and Walter Oakes trustees
for the first six months Of its existence.
The company's charter states that It Is
the purpose Of this company to appropri-
ate and divert the waters Of certain lakes
and streams in Yakima and Kittitas
counties, to build bitches, fumes, via
ducts, pipe lines, and all manner Of aque-
ducts and conduits for the purpose Of
irigAting the arid lands lying east Of the
Cascade range in the counties named.
The company's operations will not be con-
fined to supplying water for agricultural
purposes, but for furnishing water power
for manufactures, and for supplying cities.
with water for fire and domestic purposes.
Large tracts Of lands will pass into the
possession Of the company, and viii Be
constructed at some point in the Cas-
cades, and the supply thus stored for use
during the dry season. The details Of the
company's plans show the important
character Of the proposed work.

The story is now told, and goes unde-
MED, that when Senator Squire found
that his election was doubtful he made

that Allen was TO have the long term and

The youngest Of the babies was 10 and
the Oldest 10. They really did look
younger. So many paid &c to see the
sight that in little while the whole as
semblage was packed in the tent and
the infants garments and ice cream had
no buyers. An intermission had to be
taken to give this branch Of the business
a boom. 1t fairly rained money in the
kissing tent. Every man there was drop
ping silver pieces as fast as the lines would
let him, and they were all repeateTs. The
exercise went on until the babies retired
through sheer exhaustion. The men were

1t is sad to relate that the prettiest Of all
the girls was engaged to be married, but
her lover was out Of the village, and, as
she could not consult him In the matter,
she took IL for granted he would not get
mad at her for kissing for charity, and so
entered cheerily into tne amusement Her
beau did object when he came home very
seriously, and his parents being Metho-
dists made Il worse. The engagement Is
of for the present.

The startling announcement is made
that the Andes are slowly sinking into

Gazette GeoOrdphique says that Quito was
9698 feet above the level Of the sea in

1857, having sunk % feet during the IS
years following l745 and but three feet
during the 81 years which interviewed be-
tween 1900 and 1881. In 1868 the city's
level had been reduced to $3.50 feet above
the level Of the Pacific. To sum up the
total, we flnd that Ecuador's capital has
sunk 70 feet in 1872 years. Antisana's
farm, the highest inhabited spot on the
Andes $4,000 feet higher than Quito, the
highest city on the globe is said by the
same authority to be 2ls feet lower than
It was in 1745.
