BABY'S AWFUL CALAMITY.
A Sudden Alarming Discovery Made by n
New Father.

A Sudden Alarming Discovery Made by a
New Father.
AS the proud young father had never
had much to do with the babies before,
he showed the natural diffidence about
handling the little newcomer, and it
was not until she was nearly a week
old that he tried his hand at holding
her.
He sat with the child in his arms,
stroking the tiny hand, the soft check,
the downy hair Suddenly he uttered
a half-smothered ejaculation, and
stopped closely to examine the child's
head. In moment he arose, looking
very pale, laid the baby in the cradle,
and left the room, and in minute
his voice was heard at the telephone,
sending q hasty summons to the doc
tor
Then he returned to his wife's room
and began to pace the floor in evident
agitation, casting glances of distress at
the child and OF pity at the mother.
In few moments his evident agita-
ton produced the natural effect.
"What is the matter, John?" said his
wife, starting upin bed. SIS the baby
sick?"
''There, there, my dear, you must not
allow yourself to be agitated," said the
husband, with the tact usually charac-
teristic of the lord of creation. you
must be kept calm at all risks"
"But, John, am sure it is something
dreadful persisted the wife. "Do tell
mel"
"Hush, my DEAR" was the solemn
response. Remember that your ex.
element at this time is very dangerous
to baby"
There is no knowing to what pitch
of anxiety the mother might have been
brought had not the doctor been an
nounced at this moment. The young
father rushed out into the hall and
caught the physicians hand.
"Wait a moment, DOCTOR" he said,
in trembling voice. 81 sent for you
o see if you would do anything to help
the baby, and if not to aid me in break
ing the news to my wife"
"Why, what is the matter?" ex.
claimed the alarmed physician, as the
young man paused, overcome with emo
ton.
'Oh, doctor, doctorl" half sobbed the
father, 81 have made such dreadful
discovery. The baby has soft spot on

Romantic History Recalled.

A curious and interesting discovery
was made during some building changes
in Utrecht. 1t was the stone cell in
which, during the year 1451, the rich
est and most beautiful girl in Utrecht
had herself immured. May of that
year mystery play was performed in
the cathedral, and among the specta-
tors was Bertke the beautiful daugh-
ter of the proctor. But instead of the
expected reverential feelings, she cxpe-
rienced only vexation and disappoint-
ment, and was especially indignant at
the sexton calling ont before the play
began that the young men in the
church were mot to tickle the young
girls, or pinch their calves, on pain
of being expelled the church Still
more Disguised at the conversation of
some women standing near, Bertke
left the church and told all she had
heard to her father confessor, who con-
fessed that Islander cast upon the
priests was often too true. This was

not even the closter could keep her Sc

Sagaclty of Birds.

A Pennington gentleman tells good
story of the sagacity of the purple mar
tens, which abound in that vicinity.
This gentleman has over fifty of these
social birds in the house upon his
grounds. A day or two ago, while the
birds were flying about the garden,
cat caught one of the martens and start
off with it in her mouth, the bird cry
ing piteously. Quick as flash, how
ever, the whole flock of martens were
after pussy, lighting on her back as
"thick as fieas," pecking and scratch
ing her, and screaming as only martins
can. Puss, could not stand this very
long, and she dropped the marten,
arched hei back up, spit, and ran for
life. Thea the birds left her, and all
few to the house, loudly chattering
over the rescue of their comrade. Ken

A curious communication has been
made to the Academic de Medicine by
NJ. Motais. of Anglers, whose works on
the various diseases of the eye are high
ly esteemed. He has closely examined
the effect of captivity on the sight OF
wild beasts, such as lions, tigers, ETC.,
and asserts that all animals in savage
state are far-sighted. The same remark
applies to man in an uncivilized state,
and even to those who, though civilized,
follow avocations which oblige them to
remain constantly in the open air, such
as sailors or farm laborers. The same
faculty subsists in Gagged animals when
they have been taken after the age of
six or eight months; but when born in
captivity, or kept in cages when very
young, they become near-sighted, which
NJ Motais attributes to the narrow
space in which they are confined, and
the training which obliges them to fol-
low the eye of the keeper or tanner to
obey his will. The near-sightedness Of
school children may, in his opinion, be
ascribed to the same cause, the habit Of
concentrating the sight on one point,
and the fact that the power of the visual
organ becomes modified according to
the requirements to which it is sub
jected. Murray Magazine

RecolIections of Peacock,

Sir Edward Strachcy contributes some
interesting personal recollcctions of
Thomas Love Peacock to the latest vol
ume of that novelist's works, just issued
by Messrs. Dent. When the examiners
office at the India house in Leadenhall
street was reorganized in 1919, Edward
Strachey (Sir Edwards father, James
Mill and Peacock were introduced with
the title of assistants" Sir Edward
remembers Peacock coming to dine and
sleep at his fathers house at Shooters
hill as kindly genial, laughter-loving
man, rather fond of good eating and
drinking, or at least talking as if he
were So" Peacock's dislike
of paper money and political economists
appears in his earlier novels, but Sir
Edward Strachey thinks it was much
intensified by his intercourse with Mill.
HE one day came to my fathers room
and said, with mock indignation: 81
will never dine with Mill again, for he
asks me to meet only political econo
mists. Pail Mall Budget.
