a Charming Story About John Habber-

a Charming Story About John Habber-
ton and His Lovely Wife.
None but a bright and good man could
have written that most charming book
of its charming kind, "Helen's Babies. "
John Habberton is a sincere lover OF
children-he loves them, their ways,
their society, their prattle, and their PHI
losophy. Some time ago lie and his
wife made it up between them to adopt
companion for their only little girl,
who was lonesomelike for somebody to
play with: Accordingly Mr.. and Mrs.
Habberton visited an orphan asylum
properly hammered little girl.
This child soon became a fast friend
of little Miss Habberton, and she loved
her new home very much, but in mo-
ments of confidence she limited to Mrs.
Habberton that she really pinned for her
little friend with whom she used to play
at the asylum, a girl of about her own
age. Mrs Habbarton was touched by
this recital of the child's secret sorrow.
and she tod Mr.. Habberton about it,
I'VE must adopt that child, too, said
Mr.. Habberton
Il was hoping you would say that, }"
said Mrs Habberton, "for that is what
| am very d, sirous of doing.
Accordingly the second little girl was
brought into the Habberton household.
But this child, while she was affection
ately grateful for the kindness Of her
foster parents. kept pining continually
for her little lame brother who was still
at the asylum and would probably re-
main there all the days of his life; she
cri d herself to sleep at night and talked
so continuously of the poor little cripple
during the day that presently the other
members of the Habberton family were
resolved to have that little lame boy at
any price and at all hazards.
To make short of a long though pleas
ing narration, not only the little lame
boy, but two other little orphans We're
adopted and taken into the Habberton
family - five bright eyed, grateful
hearted orphans to keep the domestic
"wheels going rounT' in as charming a
New York. The little lame boy is king
in that household; the others are kept
busy waiting upon him, but their service
is given cheerfully, tenderly, lovingly.
Everybody is happy-theli' daughter,
The little lame boy, the other little ones,
and the noble man and woman who are
father and mother to the orphans; hap
piest of all are Mr.. and Mrs Habberton
happy in the blessings which certainly

deeds which noble hearts, prompt and
honest hands d. Eugene Field, in

A Successful Stratagem.

Among the hill tribes of the Anglo
Indian frontier cunning is quite as
highly esteemed as personal prowess;
but even these masters of stratagem are
occasionally outwilted. A Hindoo
trader who had occasion to pass through
their country recently laid out all his
money in several large diamonds.

soiled rag made to look like the bandage

clothes, and loaded donkey with loaves

opium in each. He soon fell in with
half dozen brigands, who paid no at
tention to the ragged traveller, but
pounced upon the bread and ate the
whole of it. The opium soon put them
to sleep, whereupon the traveller took
what money they had, their arms, and
the best of their clothes, and went his
way in peace. Bat he took care not to
travel by that road again.

An expert West Philadelphia phys
clan in talking of the dreams of the deaf
and dumb Remarked:
In visiting institutions for the blind
and the deaf l have made inquiry, and
have never found an instance of per-
son born deaf or of a child who lost his
hearing before he was 4 years of age
dreaming of hearing. Among the re-
suits of recent inquiries | present the
following from the principal of the
State Institution of the Blind and Deaf
at st. Augustine, F,a,:
II have closely questioned the deaf
children here as to whether they have
ever dreamed of hearing, aud the invar-
able answer is No l have asked the
same question of upward of SO deaf per-
SONS with the sane result, except where
the person Intercepted had lost his
hearing after learning to talk. These
last mentioned are all grown persons of
some education who understood the
question fully and are very positive that
they had never dreamed of hearing
more than rumblng sound.

Senator Eyarts's Venerable Tile.

That eminently respectable old plug
hat, which may he said to be almost
landmark to people who live in New
York and Washington, and has such
world wide celebrity, that glorious old
tile of Senator Evarts, is perhaps the
most famous hat in America to-day
1t has been pertinently asked: Where
did he get ? The extraordinary thing
about it is not that it looks DID, but
that it never looks new. There used to
be an old German in Berlin who had
exactly the same sized foot as the old
Emperor William, and as the ai>er OBJ
jected to wearing new boots his subject
was made to break in all the emperor's
footgear. He came to be known as
boot strei cher to his majesty, and he re-
ceived a snug pension for his services
Is there an individual hidden away in
New York or Washington who has the
same sized head as the senior Senator
from New York to whom eGch new hat
is given, and who is made to go forth
and engage in rough and tumble fights
for few weeks in order that the hat
may get that appearance which the
Senator insists upon its having? OF
course Mr., Evarts does get new hats.
One hat won't hold together forever
but the uniform antiquity of his hats
can only be accounted for on the theory
above propomded.- - Chicago III raid.

Improvement In the Taste for Good
Books.


Books.
One of the encouraging signs of the
times is the growing taste among the
| ool bu, ing public for better made
books, and, above all, for better books.
This public seems to have broken away
from old traditions, or at least ira
ditions of 10 years standing, and is call

past three months at least, has been en-
couragingly good. and promises to con.

in touci with the pubic seem to have
taken their cue, and are making every
effort to supply this demand for better
