Natures Exercise.

Thrifty Dame Nature has after all allied
a usefulness to her very best forms of ex-
ercise, and looks with something Of regret
upon the waste of force which is implied
in mere exercising for pleasure or develop
ment. Perhaps if she could assert her
view of the noblest and most remunerative
form of athletics she would put it at saw
ing wood. The lad who takes his athletic
exercises every morning in saving wood
for his mother has Dame Natures kind
iieSt Endorsement. If he could only believe
shat it was not work and would do it as
cheerfully as he would take a run of a
mile he would find that it went quite as
far toward strengthening his muscles and
making his body sturdy.
The regular chores about the house
which the mother can hardly find strength
to do, the lifting, the water carrying, the
sweeping, all these tend as fairly toward
a stronger body as the dumbbells and the
Indian clubs and the elastic pulleys- The
good genius that makes certain forms of
athletics so popular as play may well aim
az some early period to popularize and
render fashionable the homely hard work
about the house.-New York Tribune.

A RUINED GARDEN.

All my roses are dead in my Garden
What shallI do?
Winds in the night, without pity or pardon,
Came there and slew.
All my song birds are dead in theil bushes
Woe for such things!
Robins and linnets and black birds and thrushes
Dead, with stiff wings.
Oh, my Garden! rifed and fiowerIess,
Waste now and drear;
Oh, my Garden! barren and bowerless
Through all the year.
Oh, my dead birds, each in his nest there,
So cold and stark;
What was the horrible death that pressed there
When skies were dark?
What shall do for my roses sweetness
The summer round
For all my Gardens divine completeness
OF scent and sound?
will leave my Garden for winds to harry;
Where once was peace,
Let the bramble vine and the wild brier marry
And greatly increase.
But will go to land men know not
A far. still land,
Where no birds come, and where roses blow not
And no trees stand
Where no fruit grows, where no Spring makes
riot,
But row on row,
Heavy and red, and pregnant with quiet
The peoples blow.
And there shall be made whole Of sorrow,
Have no more care
No bitter thought of the coming morrow,
Or days that were.

Once Every Fifty Years.

The Brownia aria is botanical curios-
ity. 1t is a species OF palm. and it is
known to bloom only at intervals of ex-
actly fifty years. There is but one speci-
men of Brownia in the Conservatives of
Europe, that in the collection at the Ger
man imperial palace. The blossoms last
but forty hours, and to get sight of a
Brownie in full bloom is one of the sights
of lifetime The one in question bloomed
in July. 1883 The only other instance of
one blooming in Europe was that at the
conservatory of the Duke of Norfolk,
which bloomed in June, 1851. 1t died in

How the Foolish Creature Is Gulled by

New York Is a paradise for vendors of
cosmetics for women, treatises On how to
reduce the flesh or increase the avoirdu-
pois of the body, hair restorers, bleaching
processes for the hair and score OF other
things, all having in view the making OF
women more beautiful than they are.
There are scores of places In New York
for the removing of superfiuous hair from
the face, for bleaching hair, for the treat
ment of the skin, and there are no end Of
patent medicines sold for all sorts Of pur-
poses, the end in view being to make the
human form somewhat more divine. The
men and women who run these beautify-
ing parlors reap large rewards for little
labor. The more pTeposterous the prob
lem is OF making womea beautiful, the
easier it is TO furnish some high sounding
medicine or cosmetic or wash a. q large
price. Thus it comes that there are for

A WESTERN NIGHT SONG.

Go to sleep, little sweetheart deary,
In thy little trundle bed;
There is naught of things that's eerie
In the land of Drowsihead
Hear the wind sigh DER the prairies,
Round thy cot the moonbeams creep,
Come, oh. come to the land of fairies
Through the blissful realms of sleep"
Oh, sweet and fair is the beautiful land,
Where the babes in frolic gather
To dance and play in the silvery oand,
Or wander DER the heather;
But sweeter far, when the misty dew
Is touched by the suns red splendor,
To sail back home to mother true,
And be clasped in her arms so tender.
And you shall sail DER the sea OF dreams
To the wonderful land where the sandman
dweils,
Guarded the while by the cid moons beams,
Charmed by the tinkling of starry bells;
There in the field where the flowers bloom,
With merry elfs you'll romp and play,
Till the sun in the east shall pierce the gloom
And and all to their homes will HE away.

She Had No Faith in American Doctors

She Had No Faith in American Doctors.
MY old Irish servant woman made me
laugh heartily the other day." said a New
York housewife. "She is as faithful q
worker as | ever saw, and has been in our
family for years. She's as stubborn, too,
as she is faithful. Only two or three times
in our life has she fallen ill, and each time
she refuses to have a doctor. She had no
faith in American doctors, she said. She
had consulted gypsy wise woman il her
youth in the old country for toothache

gypsy lore and gypsy remedies. However,
she got 80 seriously i'll with grip that in

what a splendid doctor he was, how
learned, how skillful, how successful.
Finally half persuaded, half coerced
her into letting me bring the doctor up to
her room, where she lay suffering, but I'M

her tongue, asked her to tell him where
her pains were, how she felt when they be-
gan, if she had taken anything for tn EN-,
did her head ache, were her feet cold, did
her chest pain, had she felt giddy, was her
throat sore, etc; in fact, he took great

as much interest in her case as in any of

Clever snorted Bridget in disdain.
And where's the cleverness of a doctor

BABY STATISTICS.
Some Very Useful Informal About the
Wee Mites.

Some Very Useful Inform alton About the
Wee Mites.
A baby is born at every beat of the hui
man heart. That is more than one for
every tick of the clock. These Giving
Jewels (as the poet calls babies) dropped
unstained from heaven" take wings and
fly back whence they came ore for every
minute Of the day. From Jan. to Dec. 81
between IS, 0O0, 900 and 40, o00, 900 living jew
els are dropped into this cold world. There
are more baby girls than boy babies. The
proportion of female births to male births
is as 100 to 80. So that between 1900, 900
and 100000 more girls are born in the
world each year than boys. There is al
ways surplus of women, and the extra
number of girl babies keeps up the supply.
The rate of infant mortality is enormous
In round numbers 100000 babies never
live long enough to talk, 100000 more
never have a chance to walk or run and
5000, 900 more never get old enough to 90
TO school. If you are good at figures get
out your paper and pencil and try this sum
Here is simple problem in arithmetic: A
baby is born today Q692). Now suppose it's
ancestors had married at the age Of twenty
one from the time of our Lord-fifty-siX
generations-how many grandfathers has
that baby had? The answer, in round
numbers, will be three figures followed by
fifteen ciphers. Professor Proctor one time
figured that if from a single pair each hus-
band and wife had married at the age of
twenty-one for {, 900 years, the population
of the earth, if there had been no deaths,
would now be 2,i99915 followed by La
ciphers.
Again, if we 90 back to the time Of
Christ, or fifty-six generations, how many
births, do you think, must have taken
place in order to bring you, who read these
lines, into the world? If you try to get the
exact figures they will bother you. But to
change the problem. Say that all the
babies born in one. year are one foot in
length. Now if laid head to feet they
would stretch out from New York to Hong
Kong and some to spare. If the 10000 900
babies could walk past the Office of The
Baby at the rate of twenty per minute, or
200 per hour, during the entire year. by
the time the last child passed 312 numbers
of this paper would be published, and
might be read by -year-old boys and
girls, who were just born when the pro-
cession started.
Suppose that each baby born this year
weighed eight pounds; look at the COM
bined weight! 1t would take half a dozen
cradles of the size, capacity and strength
of our new steel war cruisers to hold the
infants. When twins arrived in Artemus
Wards family somebody called it an epi-
sode. Yes" said Artemus, two episodes
waying about eighteen pounds jintly."
in the foregoing baby figures we have
allowed for episodes. Baby.
