&he ~taAbcA9
The first baby in a family is usually
a privileged and tyrannical being for
whom the entire house, from attic to
cellar, is an open domain and the in
habitants are willing and humble
slaves; but when his or her brothers
arrive to share these rights and
honors those long suffering elders rise
in mutiny against a trio or ~quartette
of infantile rulers and declare their
authority and influence are to be re-
spected only within the limited
bounds OF a certain oom known as
the nursery.
Now, in the average American
home, where mothers are confronted
with the necessity of providing a play
ground and sanctum in which to
accommodate her accommodating fam
lily of little ones, her choice is in nine
cases out of ten, for that apart
ment for which she feels she
has the least need for other purposes,
says the illustrated american. The
back room, perhaps, it will be, OF the
second or third floor, that looks out
on unattractive back courts and white
board division, between paved yards
where melancholy displays of tine
weeks washing flap in the breeze, and
where the sun is not too generous OF
its rays.
Then, if she be an industrious
mother and capable housekeeper.
whose adherence is dust and disorder,
she relegates t o the so-called nursery
certain tables, chairs, curtains and
carpet that have been banished
from the other rooms. and by reason
OF their faded colors and battered
varnish are regarded as sufficiently
serviceable TO enjoy a miserable old
age at the mercy OF the children. Now,
into such a bare, colorless and unat-
tractive apartment babies, with their
nurse and loudlunged, strong limbed
little boys and girls, are required to
spend hree-fourths OF their infantiie
days.
There they play, and perhaps have
a larger part OF their meals seven
days out OF each week, and the mother
vaguely wonders why it is that, after
a while, As the babies grow older they
prefer any other room in the house to
their nursery; that there are wry
faces and inpatient words when they
are told to run and stay ia their own
room; and for that matter the chill
dren themselves could not explain
this preference.

Academy of Music, the week of February
Q. giving the usual matinees on Wednes-
day and Saturday in his inimitable i'm
p~ersonation of che Hebrew drummer,
in "Saml of Posen."
The play is full Of contomporaneous
human interest, and Curtis looks, acts
and speaks his part like an artist: his
several make-ups and all his stage bust
ness are thoroughly what he means to
represent. Mr.. curtis is supported by a
company of musical dramatic ability,
and prominent amongst the list is Albina

Contraito Voices.

COntralto voices.
9 A distinct difference must be made
between the mezzo-soprano voice and
the mezzo : soprano : contralto voice,
says Clara Louise Kellogg in the Feb
ruary Ladies' Home Journal. Any
competent instructor OF singing can
distinguish the difference and will
gauge his or her training accordingly.
While q woman who possesses the
former kind of voice may sing soprano
parts with little difficulty. the
possessor of the mezzo : soprano
contralto must exercise the great
est care in the selection of
music suitable to her register. | have
met many people who were ignorant
of the kind of voice they had, if one
could Judge of their knowledge by
their choice of songs; ignorant, also, /
doubt not. of the incalculable harm
they were ~infiicting upon their voices.
Good contralto voices are scarce, but
not any more so, / think, than good
sopranos. The deep, pure contralto
voice has always been more rare than
the more serviceable meZzo-soprano-
eontralto, which fills better the large
repertoire required upon the operate
stage from the contralto. In home
singing there is, of course, no occa-
sion for this double service of voice,
and a girl possessing a pure c~ontralto
voice will be wise if she uses it simply
in music suited to her register.

Horrible school No. to.

Horrible School No. 10.
1t is a terrible disgrace to the City
that time and time again the schools
which it maintains should be de-
nounced as nuisances by public sani-
tary bodies. The report presented to
the Board of Health, yesterday, con-
corning the condition of No. 10 should
bring a blush OF shame TO the cheek
OF every citizen and in particular Of
every public official.
The re is no cellar to this wretched
barraek, there is no ventilation; the
yard is a mud hole and the space
within the foundations and under the
class rooms is little better than a cess
pool. The place is damp, dank and
full of bad smells. 1t is not such a
structure as a careful man would
stable horses in. Diphtheria is preva-
lent in the neighborhood and it is fair
to assume that this is one of the most
fertile nests for breeding it.
Now it is a bad thing that children
should be without a school, but it is a
crime to send them to such a school
as this. The Board of Education
should close it up without an hours
delay, and should begin an absolute
crusade to compel the Street and
Water Board either to build a new
school or else TO place this one in
thorough sanitary condition by con
structing a well ventilated, concerted
cellar, and providing for at least sur
face drainage Of the yard. We be-
lieve the school is in Mr.. Pfngsren's
district. He should call public meet
ings and bring an irresistible pressure
TO bear on the city officials to have
this work done.
II the city officials will not go ahead
with the work the County Board of
Health should promptly have them
indicted.
WITHIN a day or two a paragraph
was published in a local paper draw
ing attention to the effect the Airing
ton venue station on the Newark
and New York Railway has had in de-
veloping property IN its vicinity.
Nothing was said about the swindle
the company daily perpetrates in its
scale of fares. 1t seems ridiculous, and
still il is q fact that the fare from Ar
lington avenue TO Newark is exactly
the same as from New York to New
ark, and yet, according to the COM
pany's own time table, Arlington
avenue is just midway. We want a
Railway Commission in this State
badly.
THE passage by the New York
Legislature Of an new and excellent
rapid transit law is not too cheerful
a piece of information for Jersey City
property M The movement of
population from the New York City
Hall as a centre is largely a matter of
transit facilities, and if New York
take up the subject in
earnest, Westchester county will have
quite as good a chance as Hudson of
reaping the benefit.
Where is that Central ZIP road that
was TO bring all New York's overflow
to the Heights and make them as
populous as Harlem Flats. We would
like TO see il get ahead of the New
York projects.

tive, tepid water is best; but il the
skin is healthy, wash in as hot water
as can be borne until the face is in a
glow and tingles. Dry with a soft
cloth and rub gently with the palms
OF the hands
Too much care cannot be taken to
get a soap to suit the skin. Try differ
emf ones until the right one is found,
then never use any other. To an oily
skin, sulphur, CASTLE or occasionally
glycerine soap Is beneficial. Tar soap
usually proves pleasant to every one,
and agrees with almost all skins. Be-
ware OF the so-called toilet soaps; high
priced and highly scented though they
be, they will roughen and irritate the
skin instead OF benefiting 1t. Many
object to the use of SOAP on the face
at all, but in this age of CRIME, dust,
smoke and cinders, it is impossible to
keep clean without it. and, as heard
a physician say the other day, that
what allied half of the bad skinned
people vas that their faces never got
thoroughly cleaned.
ALMOST every woman likes to have
ome preparation to apply to her face
to remove tan, sunburn or freckies,
and to soften and whiten the skin,
but do not buy any of the balms or
lotions with which the market is
flooded, without first having seen it
tried by some one else, Tor many of
them are worthless, and some posi-
lively injurious. A good thing to use
once a day is equal parts of ammonia,
bay rum and cologne; rub on gently
with a soft cloth. Remember. in
using anything like vaseline to soften
the skin, that it must not merely be
rubbed on the skin, but into it, and
be washed off in the morning with
warm water. Fresh cream applied to
the face Owe night will remove sun
burn If used for several nights. A
mixture of one-half ounce IS water
and five drops of tincture Of benzoin
in the water in which the face is
washed is very good. Use enough to
make the water look milky. For
warts, apply IN drop of oil OF cassia
every night, and they will soon disap-
pear.
In the case OF a really bad skin a
doctor should be consulted, and his
prescriptions used faithfully for a long
time. A great deal of harm is done
by not using any one thing long
enough; by first using this, then that
and then some other thing, none of
them being used long enough to do any
good. After once finding out what
will do your skin the most good abide
by it, and by persevering in it and
eve neglecting one detail, you will
be rewarded by having a beautiful
complexion, and the comforting
knowledge that you know how to
keep it so.-Chartes F0ntafne in the
Housewife.

| there TO lay down the law-for il eve
| there was an intolerant talker, disposed
| to monopolize the whole conversation
it is he-to any chance acquaintance
they met. Sometimes he would pos
himself with his back against bricl
wall or iron railing and carry on hi;
discourse with high pitched voice anC
nervous gesture, perfectly Indifferent u
the curious and amused groups gath
cred about him.
Turning down new street, for which
he seemed to have affectionate regard
probably out of respect for his hat, he
finally came to a halt in the Office OF
Anthony Browne & Co., where he was
able TO follow the dispatches pouring in
over the exclusive from the Chicago
Board of Trade. There he sat until
evening approached, his straw hat tip
ped back upon his head and himself tip
ped back upon his chair haranguing a
group of brokers who listened to his
nervous utteranceS with indefinite re-
Spect.
Every few moment he would spring
up as if some one had touched button
and stride over to the ticket, never ceas-
ing his talk, which grew more and more
excited as the day waned, and as the
contents of certain convenient bottle
waned also.
"Old Hutch" is fond Of having social
glass or that there can DE no possible
shadow of a dou0t. He is also fond Of
doing eccentric things, as Bootblack
Mickey learned.
"Shine, Sir?" asked the aforesaid
Mickey, poking his head in the office
door and interrueting one "Old Hutch'S"
favorite stories.
Mr. Hutchinson laid down the palm
leaf fan which he had been working in
dustriouSly, and motioned the boy to
approach.
Glow much?" he asked.
Ten cents" answered Mickey, hope
fully.
"Giye me fifteen cents and I'll let you
shine EN-.
''Hain't got fifteen cents" answered
Mickey, the hope gone out of his voice.
Then get out of here, id quick"
said "Old Hutch" making a dive for
the boy, who in his turn diyed for the
door.
A wag who had witnessed this char
acteriStic episode from the outside
promptly briDed another bootblack to
go and tackle the irritable millionaire
with the same proposition. 1t was stipu-
lated in the contract that the great man
should be addressed as "Old Hutch"
Let me shine your shoes, old
Hutch?'" piped thin voice, as dim
inutive but daring street Arab invaded
the Sanctum.
Mr.. Hutchinson glared at the in
truder.
Il want you to call me Mr.. Hutchin-
son; do you hear? Another thing, these
are boots, not Shoes" showing pair of
old fashioned patent feathers rising half
way 10 the knees "YOu can't shine
boots like these; you don't know how.
Go away, boY-or stop. Put this inside
of you before you CO." and smiling at
his witticiSm, the old gentleman filled
glass to the brim with raw whisky and
handed il to the little bootblack. The
latter was game, and drained the fiery
potion without wincing.
That's a smart boy" chuckled "Old
Hutch" as the young ster vanished.
This is enough TO give the reader
little idea of the remarkable character
Of this very remarkable man.

HIS HONOR SORRY FOR LEE HOO.

Naturalizing Cinnamon Is Wrong.

NaturaIlzing Cinnamon Is Wrong.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, June 25.-Lee
Hoo. Chinaman who has cut off his
Queue and Joined the old North Church
on the Green, made application in the
Court of Common Pleas yesterday morn
ing for naturalization as citizen OF
the United States. MIR. Hoo has been
I'm this country fourteen years, having
come here at the age Of sixteen. He
brought his landlord with him to swear
to his residence for five years in this
country, and TO the fact that he was of
good moral character and attached to
/ the principles of the United States Con-
stitution.
Judge Deming, having heard the evil
/ dence, said that he ilSliYed 10 decide on
this case, for he thought that Mr.. Hoo
/ should be admitted, but that there was
A law OF Congress which said that no
I Chinaman should be naturalized. He
thought this was entirely wrong In prin-
ciple. but he was not willing 10 ignore
the Congressional act, although he was
aware that other courts had naturalized
Chinese contrary TO this statute.
Judge Deming directed the clerk To
issue a first paper 10 Mr.. Hoo, which
states that be has declared his inten-
tionS, so that II this law is ever repealed
he can be admitted on this, or he can
take il TO some court where the Federal
act is not regarded, and be admitted
there after TWO years have elapsed.

They Live on LuKuries, and Even Keep Up
Insurance Policies ut the Towns Ex-
pense.
Hartford, June 25.-Unusual inter-
est attaches to the special town meeting
yesterday afterday afternoon to de-
termine whether Hartford should con-
tinue to be the banner city in the cOun-
try for paupers. The report of the
special investigating committee showed
that, with only 50, 900 population, Hart
ford appropriated for the present year
S25, 900 for outdoor aims. To this to be
added the large expenditures by the va
rious charitable organizations, making
an aggregate of $780, 600 for Sl5OOOO, or
about 50 per capita for the population of
1000. The town alone is now assist
ing about 1000 persons.
The report shows that the system has
aided and increased pauperism. Abont
80 per cent. who received aid were found
not to be fairly entitled to it. Drunk
ards, prostitutes, and jailbirds have re-
ceived money for rent, free medical aid,
and money for groceries. Orders for gro
cerieS show that paupers drew cake and
candy, canned fruits, jelly, canned
lobster, oranges, pineapples, sardines,
tobacco, &C., as well as the necesSarieS
of life, and the taxpayers footed the
bills. Aid was furniSed to persons who
had money in bank, and in some cases
town money was used to keep up insur-
ance policies in the cheap insurance
companies. Money for rent and gro
ceries was drawn by families whose in
comes ran from SD to $50 a week, A
list of suggestions which will result in
radical reform Of the present system
was adopted by the meeting.
