An interesting experiment that
proves the value of fresh air in winter,
even for very young and delicate chill
'dren, was tried month OF two ago IN
a well known babies hospital. All the
sickly babies that were suffering from
chronic indigestion and lack of nutri-
ton, and who would not improve in
spite of good food perfectly ventilated
rooms, and careful bathing, were taken
to the top ward of the hospital, where
all the windows were open wide,
wrapped Ms for the street and put in
ithir perambulators. They were kept
in this room from two TO four hours
daily, and soon showed a marked I'M
provement Their cheeks became rosy,
they gained in weight and appetite,
iand would often fall asleep and remnin
so during the whole time they were in
the air. Very delicate children had
bags Of hot water placed at their feet.
Ii is recorded in the account of this
experiment that not one child took IA
cold as result of it.-New York Posi-.

What a Bank Permitted.

Those who were in the Cambridge
port National Bank the other after
noon saw man who few years ago
was considered one of the most
notorious bank robbers in the country.
The man was Langdon W. Moore, and
one of his most successful robberies
was the stealing of SIG, 900 in bonds
and money from that very bank.
In few words Moore made known
his errand to the officers of the bank.
He is writing a book, and it is to be
illustrated with pictures of some of the
most successful of his daring robberies.
Having gained the required permission,
Moore took the sane position that he
did on the occasion of the robbery
many years ago, the bank now being
arranged practically the same as then.
A young man took the place of his ae-
complies and another took the picture.

MURDERED 248 MEN.
An Awful Story of Crime Told BY a
Texas Woman Butcher.

A despatch from Denison, Texas, says An
application for pardon has been made to
Governor Hogg by Charles Luttrell who is
to hang May II for murder.
1t is developed that Luitrell had made a
startling statement in regard to tho terrible
,utchery OF women here last spring that will
probably secure him pardon or commuta-
ion of sentence to life imprisonment.
1t is alleged that Luttrel confessed that
since 1873 James Brown, John Carlisle and
their friends had killed 245 men in order to
destroy testimony against them in murder
,ases.
In 1873 Brown killed stabiemsn- John
Carlisle was induced to kill another man,
named Sparks, and Tom Shannon, their lat
st victim, was an eyewitness to both mur-
jers.
There were many other eye-witnesses, and

confession Is but glimpse OF the awful.

.rators millions Of dollars.

The British Embassy.

OF the many notable residences az
the National Capital, there is none of
more individual and popular interest
than the square structure of red brick
occupying an ample corner at Con-
'necticut avenue and n street, which is
the home OF the British Embassy.
I The neatly kept square, with its
massive mansion, roomy stables, and
trim plats of lawn and shrubbery, con-
stitutes, as the exclusive property OF
the English Government, truly Britt
'tish possession in the stronghold of our
own United States This establish
ment has served for nearly twenty
years as the ministerial residence, and
was the first erected for that purpose
and owned by foreign power. :.
As matter Of fact, it is the most
important of all the foreign legations
at Washington, the interests being Led
gion which bind together the two
great English-speaking Nations of the
world and most momentous questions
are continually before the two powers
for consideration and settlement. Eng
land may sometimes scold her lusty
offspring the cross old lady sho
is reputed to be-but, aside from the
vast material interests which she holds
in every State in the Union, there ex-
lists an undercurrent Of genuine good
feeling between the English people
and their American cousins. However
reluctantly the independence Of the
colonies was acknowledged by Eng
land, she was quick to see the import
ance of placing her representative at
the new seat OF government, and,
with few intervals, since the per-
manent establishment of the Republic

liant diplomatists Of Great Britain have
served here.
The English Embassy, both in plan
and appearance, preserves all the ira.

solid, incorporating front Is topped
by the inevitable mansard roof, and isl
only saved from positive ugliness by Al
broad porte-cochere which bears the
