melancholy. He teaches so finely be-

is something beautiful in the way in
which he owns his obligations to a
British dandy, who gave him the law
about the tails of a dress coat. 'YOu

that they ought to elude all attempts to
to discover them by glance over ones
shoulder. Here evidently we touch

Papa Stearns Told Lucy to Stop
Crying and Go to Sleep.


Philadelphia Special,
On Monday evening last Mr. and Mrs.
George Stearns proposed to go to the
theater, in tending to leave their only
child Lucy, i'll the care of the nurse, and
while Mrs. StearnS was dressing the
child began to cry. Mrs. Stearns took
the baby to pacifv her.
He patted her nd stroked her face,
sung to her and ,ged her to be quiet,
without success. His wife then called
from her room:
George, can't you keep her quiet!
My nerves are going to pieces"
MIR. Stearns bethought himself that
severity was often effective when pet
ting failed. He made Lucy sit up
straight on his knee, shook his finger ut
her, and then, as he StrOked her fore
head and eyes, said. go to sleep, Lucy,
at once"
The child stopped crying instantly,
gasped little. whimpered AID sank
back in his arms fast asleep. At that
moment the woman returned and Mr..
Stearns gave Lucy to her. Husband
and wife went out, and. returning, were
delighted to learn that the baby was
slumbering quietly.
The child kept slumbering until
"Wednesday morning, when Mr.. StearnS
became worried and sent for physician.
Dr. Rogers, who was called, was puzzled
for while. and then, seiZing MI.
Stearns by the shoulder, turned him to
the light.
"H'mn' said the doctor slowly, ''Do
you know, Stearns, that you have pair
of black eyes? Anwer me this; What
are the circumstances under which the
baby fell asleep? Tell me everything
you did to quiet her." MI. Stearns
did so.
As imagined" was the physicians
comment. You have hypnotized her.
Now take her on your lap as you had
her Monday"
Mr.. Stearns seated the slumbering
child Oh his knee.
Now stroke her face in the opposite
direction that you did before" The ia
Their obeyed.
Tell her sharply to wake up while
clap my hands,"
The words had scarcely been spoken
when Lucy opened her eyes and began
to cry as Justify as she had cried Monday
evening.
Thank the Lord" exclaimed Mr..
and Mrs. Stearns together.
DR.. Rogers afterWard said that
similar case happened once in Paris
and twice in New York City. The child
is now suffering from nervous excite
men, but is not considered in any
danger.
