Sleeninr With a Baby.

The free-from-care and eaSetaking
old bachelor, who in his momentary
lapse Of wisdom contemplates matri-
mony. writes a recent father, should
at the same time reflect on the remote
but contingent possibility of his hav-
ing to sometime sleep with baby
should he marry. Years Of experience
of this martyrdom make me feel it to
be my duty to set forth the misery
arising from a contingency of this kind.
The baby, if he happens to be
lusty little fellow Of eight or ten
months. will decline to stay covered.
His infantile needs will begin to mani
fest themselves at about 1 o'clock in
the morning, at which witching hour
you will go blundering around in the
dark for a drink of water. He will
howl steadily and cheerfully from 2 to
3 o'clock, and will kick you frlriously
between the shoulder blades with every
howl. 1t will not be Of any use for
you to pat him tenderly and coo out,
There, there" He is there, and knows
1t, and intends that you shall know it.
1t is of no use to say coaXingly,
what does papa's baby want?' Papa's
baby doesn't want anything but to
howl, and he is gratifying that amiable
desire to the utmost. 1t is of no use
to add to your list of enormities by
strong language And if your wife
has been calmly passive through it all
she will develop an amazing degree of
spirit if you dare to lay the weight of
your finger in anger on that poor,
dear, little, innocent sweetness
He will squirm all night as though
he were first cousin to an angleworm.
He will journey around all over the
bed, both under and on the top Of the
coverings. You are no sooner asleep
than one of his moist little heels is
planted firmly on your nose, or in your
mouth, and, later on. he will sit ast1ide
your neck, and grow green and purple
with rage when gently made to sit
elsewhere.
But when the registering little chan
finally snuggles up to you, and goes to
sleep with one of his velvety cheeks
close to your own, and one of his warm.
soft arms around your neck, YOU find
your heart growing very soft and ten
der towards him, and you would sim
gle-handed wage war against a host,
or lay down your life for love of him.

1T Must Come,

When boy approaches the age
wherein he shows a fondness for the
opposite sex it is sad time for great
many mothers. | know that such par
ents ought to be sensible, especially
when their sons are honest and cleanly-
minded, and feel for their sweethearts
a proper respect as well as affection.
But some mothers can never recon-
Gle themselves to the condition that
puts another woman before them.
One Of these said TO me recently:
IL know that / am unreasonable and
selfish, but it seems to me that when
my boy falls In love I shall be utterly
wretched. / can't bear to think of
being relegabed to the background by
one whom have cared for and idol
lied all these years. You needn't
preach to me. i know that I'm all
wrong, but the feeling is there, Just
the same."-New York Recorder.

A Title of Nobility Refused.

1t is a common thing in Europe for
kings and queens to reward such OF
their subjects as may have become ia
nous in war, in politics or in literature,
by bestowing titles upon them. Occa-
sionally, however, this honor is refused,
but the instances are so rare that when
they do occur they are always thought
worthy of mention.
After the late German Emperor,
Frederick Ill, had begun. his brief
reign, he determined to raise some
leading representatives Of industry and
commerce to the peerage.
Herr Krupp, the inventor Of the
Krupp cannon, at whose manufactory
$4,000 men are regularly employed,
son had succeeded to his business, and
the young mans name was placed by
the Emperor upon the role Of honor.
When he heard of this he at once
took train to Berlin and secured an
audience of Prince Bismarck, who was
then Chancellor. He insisted that the
Prince should ask the Emperor to
strike his name from the list, but this
Bismarck refused to do. Then the
ironmaster made a special plea.
My father said he "gloried in be-
ing the son Of workman, and never
would so much as listen to proposal
to accept titular and hereditary dis
tinction. I cannot be untrue to his
principles, particularly when my year
of mourning has not even yet expired"
Bismarck thought his plea might be
urged upon the Emperor without
wounding his feelings, and he promised
to put it before him that day.
Frederick was really dying them, and
could not speak on account of the dis
ease in his throat When Bismarck
told him what Kr1pp had said he look
ed surprised and veXed. Then he SEEM
ed to see the matter in new light,
nodded assent and wrote on his tab
lets:
Il dare say Krupp is right; he has
my best wishes
That night Herr Krupp was told that
he was at liberty to remain Herr
krupp.

A PRETTY INCIDENT.

The Charitable Act of Stylish San Fran.
cisco Woman.
The waiting room at the ferry was
croWded-the last boat to Oakland was
expected every moment AS we took
our seats noticed a pretty girl sitting
just in front Of us. Her bonnet was
one Of the very latest-an ideal "love;;'
a bit of lace, few loops Of ribbon
that stood straight up, some flowers
and a bewitching pair of streafners
Such a mixture, but so becoming! She
was chatting away to her escort ]
knew by the indulgent way in which
he looked at her that he was not her
husband. He was distinguished look
ing.
Presently. there was commotion
near the newsstand. Everybody got
up to look. It was policeman trying
to demonstrate with a woman who
was walking around crying, with a
child i'll her arms. They were wretch
ed looking creatures; both looked
frightened, mournful and hungry The
woman didn't understand q word of
English
A good-nat1red German spoke to
them in his mother tongue; a little fat
woman spoke to them in French; some
one spoke in Spanish; some one else in
Italian. But the poor soul only shook
her head and continued to cry.
Perhaps 1 can talk to her." I heard
the pretty girl say.
To her escorts very apparent horror
she pushed her way through the crowd.
When she spoke the poor woman's
face grew radiant. She began to talk
rapidly. Then the pretty girl did a
brave thing. She stepped up on seat
and said in sweet, tremulous voice:
'She is stranger. She came from
Honolulu this morning. Her husband
promised to meet her in San Fran
cisco. The horrid man isn't here. She
don't know what to do. She hasn't
cent. This officer wants to take her to
the station. 1 don't think we ought to
let her go. Do you?"
She turned her face, beautiful now
in it's enthusiasm, all around, as if seek
ing an answer from the crowd.
A man wearing a Salvation Army
cap cried out:
"Who wants to help pay for nights
lodging?"
He threw a dime into his hat as he
spoke. Everybody gave something
AS we were crowding our way up
the ferry boat steps I heard the pretty
girl say sweetly to her escort, who
had evidently been lecturing her:
Il am awfully sorry that you feel
so about it. But honestly, now, 1 just
could not help doing it,"

Couldn't Live on Such an Income.

"No," remarked the young man, with
a touch Of sadness in his voice. 1T
may be that some day happiness will
be mine, but at present it is beyond me-
There is a girl whom I love dearly.
She would have me if I only asked
her, but / dare not. I really cannot
marry and live on $4,000 a year"
The two friends to whom he spoke
looked at him in wonder For a mo-
ment they were peechless-consterna
ton and pity depicted on their youth
full countenances. But presently speech
returned to them at exactly the same
time, and they fairly howled in their
excitement:
"You cannot live on $4,000 a year?
Why not?'
why not?" echoed the young man
with the sad voice, which grew still
sadder. why, simly because 1 haven't
got the $4,000 to live on."

A MIDNIGHT INCIDENT.
There Was Tremendous Racket Not
Made by Burglars.

TneYG
Made by Burglars.
The head of a home in northeast
Baltimore was awakened by his wife
with the information that burglars
were in the house He ridiculed her
suspicious at first, but some ominous
noise from the region Of the kitchen
finally convinced him that something
was wrong.
He got up, and, not having weapon,
seized a bronze ornament and boldly
started on a tour of inspection. En-
tering the dining room he managed to
overturn several chairs as a prelimi-
nary warning to the invaders, as he
did not care to surprise them.
The ominous sound continued, how
ever, and cold chills began chasing each
other in rapid transit style up and
down his spinal column. Urged on by
encouraging stage whispers from his
wife, he moved towards the kitchen,
elutching his weapon until its outlines
were imprinted on his hand. Then he
pushed open the door.
As 1t swung back pistol-like report
echoed through the house, causing the
investigator to beat a hasty retreat,
firmly convinced that he was shot.
Under the gaslight he soon found that
he was unhurt, and again advanced on
the kitchen. This time he entered and
lit match, but just then the kitchen
door shut with a bang, putting out the
light and increasing the terror which
had taken possession of him.
After another retreat the kitchen
was again entered, and this time the
gas was lighted. Then surprise took
the place Of fear. The kitchen looked
as if a small-sized cyclone had struck
it. Broken china and glass cucumber
ed the floor, and everything was In
confusion.
But no burglar could be seen.
Searching further the cause was soon
discovered. The wife had put UP
quantity of catchup in bottles and
placed them on a shelf During the
night the catchup began to ferment.
Several bottles exploded, throwing sur
rounding objects to the floor and Great
Ing havoc generally.-Baltimore Sun.

The Origin of the Fan in China.

to nave sprung from the following in

was usual The excessive heat COM
PEELED her to remove it, and in order
to guard her features from the COM
mon gaze she moved it quickly to and
fro in front of her face, thus simulta-
neouSly hiding her charms and cooling
her brow. The idea was at once
adopted throughout the kingdom.
Iatharine de Medici carried the first
ian from Italy ever seen in France,
and in the time of Louis XIV. the fan,
covered with jewels, was worth a
small fortune

OF bilious people is chiefly in the region of

located there are associated sour stomach, yell
lowness OF the skin and eyeballs, morning
nausea. an unpleasant breath, furred tongue
sick headache, and irregularity of the bowels.
For each and all CT these unpleasantnesses,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is a swift and
agreeable remedy. 1t is greatly preferable to
any vegetable purgative or drastic mineral
cathartic. Such pseudO-specifcs usually do
more harm than good. In malarial complaints
the liver is always involved. For such disor-
der, as we'll as for rheumatic and kidney
trouble, nervousness and nebility, HOstetter's
Stomach Bltters is a benign remedy. Physi-
clans strongly commend it for its prOmptitude
and thOroughness. and professional approval
is fully justified by public experience during
more than a third Of a century.
