Effect of Smoking on Boy q.

One of the medical journals re-
cords the observations of a physician,
who has been investigating with
great minuteness and accuracy the
effects of smoking on boys. He took
for this purpose thirty.eight boys
from nine TO fifteen years, and care
fully examined them. In twenty
seven of the number he discovered
injurious traces of the habit. In
twenty-five there were various dis
orders of the circulation and diges-
tion, palpitation of the heart, and q
more or less taste for strong drink.
In twelve Of the cases there occurred
frequent bleeding of the nose, ten
had disturbed sleep, and twelve had
slight alterations of the mucous mem.

ed on ceasing the use of tobacco for
some days. The Doctor treated them
all for weakness, but with little
effect, until the smoking was dis
continued, when health and strength
were soon restored.

The papoOse- board, or cradle, IL
made in various ways the most com
mon being a straight board about
two and a.half feet long. fifteen
inches wide at the top and nine
Inches at the bottom, made from
cedar or some other wood that will
split straight and easy. 1t is worked
down with stone scrapers and Orna-
mented with paint to suit the more
or less artistic taste of the mother.
Over the top is n whoop. under which
the infants head is placed. The lit
tie one Is wrapped In furs and skins
like mummy, its tiny arms bound
close to its body with the wrappings
Then this baby bundle is laid upon
its back on the beard and fastened
by lashings passed through holes near
the edges of the board and firmly
laced. The hoop over the top is to
protest the head Of the child from
bruises, ia case the cradle should
fail.
The cradle with its baby load is
carried by the mother upon her back,
strap made Of woven bark or
tn ned skin passing across her fore
head and having the ends fastened
to the board. When the mother is
at work at home, she will stand the
cradle up against the side of the wig

a tree, out Of reach of the wolves.
This is an easy matter for her, for
all Indians can climb like squirrels,
and the infant being upon her back,
held only by the strap about her own
head, does not interfere in the least
with her climbing. From one to
half.a-dozen or more specimens of
this kind of fruit have been seen
hanging upon single tree, while the
mothers were picking berries

Mr. O'Shea, the well-knowD war
correspondent, tells the following
anecdote of an adventure with
herd Of elephants: "A young friend
asked me once to show him some ele.
plants, and l took him with me,
having first borrowed an apron and
allied 1t with oranges. This he was
TO carry while accompanying me to
the stable; but the moment we
reached the door the herd set up
such trumpeting-they had scented
the fruit-that he dropped the apron
and its contents and scuttled of like
scared rabbit. There were eight
elephants, and when picked up the
oranges l found ] had nve-and-
twenty. walked deliberately along
the line, giving one to each. When
l got to the extremity Of the narrow
stable turned, and was about to be-
gin distribution again, when / sud

In succession to No. 8 he might i'm

Indian Magic Explninrtl.

Miraculous as the feats performed
by the indian juggler appear to the
onlooker, there is no doubt that they
can all be reasonably explained The
disappearance OF living being from
a basket in n place where trap.doors,
concealed exits or collusion were i'm.
possible, seems inexplicable; yet the
writer, quite by acciders, detected
the way In which this trick is done.
A jugglcr stepped at Madras onto the
deck OF a Peninsular and Oriental
Company's steamer, and offered the
company assembled, who were loung-
Ing about highly bored by the old
method OF coaling, IL they would sub
scribe, TO show them something bet
ter than common Juggling. The col
lection, OF course, was Forthcoming
at once; he cleared a space on the
deck, and told his wife TO lie down.
The young woman, who may have
weighed seven stone, but more prob
ably six, lay down, and her husband
placed over her shallow, fat basket,
with handle at the back, exactly
resembling the baskets used for veg.
etables In East Anglia, and called q
"frail." Then, with light and
graceful gesture he took up the bas.
ket, and laid II down two or three
feet of, when 1t was seen that the
woman had vanished Unfortunate.
ly for the juggler, the writer acct.
dentally stepped on the edge OF the
"frail, and heard little cry Of pain.
The whole thing had been a piece OF
superb acting. The young woman
had learned to hook herself with her
fingers and prehensie toes into the
strong matwork forming the top of
the frail, and the husband, q slight
but powerful man, had learned to lift
her as II he were lifting nothing but
the basket. The writer OF course
said nothing about his awkwardness;
the juggler, after one savage glance,
said nothing, either, and the trick is
still quoted as one which, owing to
the absence of machinery, cannot be
explained away

the son be called?
Alexander the just" suggested
one.
"Oh, no." replied the Car. II am

peror.' So some of my nobility have
styled me In derision, scofflng at my

and end by loving the sovereign who
represents Him on earth.
