Dragging Children.

81 had in my charge at one time, said
n prominent New York doctor, "a child
who had almost lost control of the mus
cles of one of the legs, a difficulty brought
on. as | firmly believe, by the habit the
other children had of taking the little
thing out with them and hurrying it along
in order to keep up with the other.young-
sters with whom they were playing, They
had strict orders not to leave the baby or
TO let go of its hands, and as consequence
it was dragged and pulled along in the
most frightful fashion. | believe that a
great many cases of ricketts, are brought
on by this habit of pulling children by
the arms. 1t necessarily is a strain ON the
spine and must be productive of unpleas-
ant if not dangerous results

The rise of the sentiIlent of equality has
from general use of ornament and has
induced them even to declare the wearing
of jewelry by man vulgar pretension,
but whenever they dare-that is, whcnev-
or usage justifes the practice-say, when
wearing orders or at n fancy dress ball
they exult in their bedizenment as much
as ever. Make it etiquette for an officer
to bejewel his sword hilt and sec.
We venture to say that, If opinion al
lowed it. the gentlemen of today would
initiate Count Esterhazy and would be
visible ut every crossing in Bond street OF
on the houicvards from the flashes Of
their jcwelry hundreds of yards away.
Kings are SO visible on every state occa-
sion, and kings wives, who wear what
their lords wish worn. Indeed, subducd
ms the iewelry of men has now become,
they are still. even as regards their own
apparel, important buyers.
Birmingham would be half paralyZed
and even the great jewel distributors
would feel poorer il men gave up wearing
watch chains. gold backs TO their watches
gold studs. gold sleevelinks and gold rings
the latter three times rs massive as those
worn by the other sex. Besides, though
the women wear the jewels. it is the men
who pay for them, and though they pay
in pant from readiness to please their wives
or fiancees it is also TO please themselves
through the indulgence of their eyes,

A Boys Patriotic Eyes.

Mr.. Jesse Spright, one of the most prom
inent citizens of Pitt county. \. c., is the
authority for the statement that Greene
county. in his state, is the home of one of
the most remarkable freaks of nature this
country has probably ever produced. This
freak is a son of Mr.. Lassiter. a farmer OF
Greene county. Around the pupil of each
of the boys eyes, in circular shape, is the
word America in perfect characters.
The boys eyes are dark, and the letters are
brown and legible upon close inspection.

Him Try to Raise Garden Truck.
There are more ants to the square mile
in Florida than in any other country in
the world. There are ants which Will
measure more than half an inch in length,
and then there are ants 40 small that they
can scarcely be seen to move with the I'M

nnts and troublesome ants But as bad
IA they are | have never heard of them

II missionary, the Rev Mr.. Wilson, once
told the writer he saw the army ants do in
India while the man was sitting on the
earth for few minutes beside him.
But the Florida ants viii take out the
lettuce and other minute seeds from the
aoil In which they are planted and actual
ly destroy the bed. They win suck the
life out OF acres of young cucumbers and
melon plants, uproot strawberry plants
or cover the buds with earth to such an
extent as to Kill them. They will get into

bones, apple and pear parings and when

the next work on hand is the laying in OF
"A supply Of food, by hauling Inc dead bod
les of the hot water victims into their
storehouses.
You may see n small black ant hauling
and Juggling at the carcass of n red ant 30
times it's own weight, and he always sue
ceeds in the end in hauling it into the
warehouse of the colony. Next you may
see n sort of ambulance corps searching
for the disabled. These are taken to the
underground house, where the surgeons
and nurses are in waiting. Then, too, you
may see the timekeepers and bosses direct
ing this one or turning another back on
come crrand or to some other duty.
There ia not n moments delay, no halt

it was their last day on earth and this was
the only hour left In which to redeem'a

How still they lie!

To breathe their blight upon our May?
