Newborn Infants.

According TO Yorkshire (England)
notion newborn infant should always
be placed in the arms of a maiden be-
fore it is touched by any one else; and
in some instances its right hand is
bound in cloth during the first day of
its existence in order that it may gather
riches when grown to manhood or
womanhood estate. In many parts of
the United States, Germany, France,
and Holland, as we'll as throughout the
British Isles, it is considered very inn
portant that an infant should ego mp"
before it goes down in the world.
Thus, il child is born in the lower
story of house it is instantly bundled
up by one of the old women and carried
upstairs; if the event occurs in the
upper story the same old woman is OK.
pected to take the child in her arms and
Chamber upon the top of the table,
bureau, or even q chair, anything to get
the little one up in the world.
In the north Of England when child
is taken from the house for the first
time. it is given an egg, some salt, and
q little loaf Of bread, and occasionally a
cAh0A PA0SO va AAoHoJ ~0h0ST guys SOahitS
supposed to insure the child against
ever standing in need of the the COM
mon necessaries of life. In the East
Riding of Yorkshire few matches are
added to light the child to heaven. In
Holland, Sweden, Norway, Poland, and
parts of Russia the mother of a new
born babe, if not too poor, provides q
small cheese, which is cut in small
slices and distributed among the un-
married ladies of the neighborhood.
Any young lady who receives her share
of the cheese and eats it without asking
where it came from or who sent it, will
meet her future husband at cross-path
or crossroads within the month. In
Northumberland q cake called the
dreaming bread" is distributed in the
same way, the young ladies who par
take of it being supposed to dream of
their future husbands the same night.
In the United States, as we'll as in
many other countries, a book, o piece
of money, and bottle of liquor is
placed before an infant the day it is
year old, the object being to test what
its after inclinations will be.

BARBARA.


-
Blithe was the youth that summer day
As he Smote at the ribs of earth
And he Piled his pick with merry click
And he whistled anon In mirth:
And the constant Thoughts Of his dear one face
seemed to illumine that ghostly place.
The gagnt earth envied the lovers joy
AND she moved and closed ON his head
with no one nigh and with never a cry
Inc beautiful boy lay dead
ANA the treasure ne sought for his sweetheart
crumbiod and chung to his glorious hair.
Fifty years Is mighty space
In the human toll for bread
But to Love and to Death tbs merely breath
a dream that is quickly sped;
Fifty years, and the fair lad lay
Just as he fell that summer day.
AT last came others In quest of gold
And hewed in that mountain place,
ana deep In the ground one time they found
4 ne boy with the smiling face;
Al uncorrupt by the pitiless air,
ne lay with his crown of golden hair
They bore him up to the sun again
And laid him beside the brook,
And the folk came down from the busy town
TO wonder and pirate and look;
Ana so to world that knew him not
The boy came back to the old-time spot.
Old Barbara hobbled among the rest
Wrinkled and bowed was She
And she gave cry as she Jared anigh:
At last he Is come to mel"
And she kneeled by the side of the dead boy
there,
And she kissed his lips and she strokea his hair
Thine eyes are sealed, Oh dearest one
And better it is tits So
Else thou mightst see how harsh with 4
Dealt Life thou cou1dst not know;
kindlisr Death has kept thee fair
The sorrow of Life hath been my share |"
Barbara bowed her aged face
And slept on the breast of her dead,
And the golden hair Of her dear one there
Caressed her snow-white head.
Oh, Life is sweet with it's touch OF pain,
But swseter the Death that Joined those twain

Girls Hard to Suit.

Girls don't marry so frequently now as
of old from the simple necessity of OBJ
tanning "a home" and the desire to be
head of a household or, as they often did
years ago-sometimes to make way for
younger sisters, and again to relieve the
parental responsibility and In many
cases the excheQuer much reduced by

partner and provider, simply to go out
in the world and work for herself in one
of the many avenues open to women

cigars. One lady comes in frequently
for q box of cigars. She smokes almost
the costliest brand we keep"
Some of the most expensive brands
of ladies' cigarettes, he said, were arti-
fiicially scented. The manager said
that the ladies whom they supplied
were chiefly ladies of rank and fashion
duchesses, countesses, etc. They pat
ronize y good Turkish brand costing six
or eight shillings hundred. I asked

the subject. WELL said my inform
