GOLD BUTTONS FOR BABIES.

The gold buttons for babies frocks
have been largely replaced by sets Of
tiny gold pins. united as the buttons
were by slender gold chains. Every
mother will appreciate the value Of
this change. Six button holes were
needed for the stud sets, and if a
little gown tightened or loosened
there was no adjustment possible. The
pins do away with work and permit all
sorts of tapping over or letting out.

His Absence Wanted.

An English doctor, attached to
the court of a raiah, made himself
almost Indispensable to his high
ness. He had, fortunately, also
made q friend Of bis prime minister.
On one occasion his highness, be-
ing slightly indisposed, had taken,
by the doctors advice, a seidlitz
powder, with which he expressed
himself delighted. Its tendency to-
"boil and fzz ready to blow your
nose off" seemed to him to scatter
coolness;" and he seemed so much
better after taking it that the doctor
felt himself justified in joining in a
hunting party. Presently horse
man from the palace, in the conf
dental employment of the grand
vizier, galloped up to him. ''My
master bids me to tell you" he said,
"that his highness has broken
open your medicine chest and taken,
first, all the white powders and
then all the blue" 'tGracious
goodness" cried the doctor, ''there
are twenty-three of each of them"
my master adds" continued the
messenger, dropping his voice,
''that you had better make for the
frontier without q moments delay"
The doctor put spurs to his horse
and never drew rein till he was "out

Pathetic Appeal of a Little Girl Whose.

AS he was led from the nolsome pen a
pale, careworn woman, leading pref
ty child Of four years, made her way to
the bar and began to plead in his be-
half. BE had taken his bit too much,
to be sure, and it wasn't the first time,
alasl but he was good man when him
self. Couldn't the Judge be easy on
him2 Upon the stolid, well-fed magis-
trate this plea had some effect, but not
mitch.
"Ten daysE was the laconic SEN
tence, after brief interview with the
policeman who had made the arrest.
The unhappy wife turned away with
sob, but the little girl held back,
and, grasping her fathers hand in
quired: AREN'T you going home with
us, papa?"
The prisoners eyes filed with tears,
and he tried to- whisper something to
the little one, but big policeman
grasped him roughly by the arm and
hustled him away.
Don't do that! Don't take my IA
ther away! Iwant to kiss papa!" cried
the child, struggling to follow the
hard-hearted bluecoat and his captive.
She had her way, too, for that police
man would have made himself the most
unpopular person in New York if he
had not pleased to allow the unhappy
little family to exchange affectionate
farewells. And the child was led from
the ugly place wondering what it NIL
meant.

toward evening the sport increased
with intensity. Every successful de-

greeted with shouts of laughter. All
classes met with the same recep-
ton. Roughly-dressed men, saun-
tering along the street, would on
meeting richly-dressed lady, dash
q cup Of water, which they held con-
cealed behind their backs, straight
in the lady's face. The ladies at

smile grimly and pass on. I saw

Responsibility Necessary.
People who live among our forests
have seen them burn so often, while no
effort was made to ascertain the cause
or punish the carelessness or criminal
ity Of the incendiary, that they have
naturally ccme to consider forest prop
erty in a class by itself, with no right
10 protection against fire, like dwell
ing house or other property. Not ,.n-
til these views are radically changed,
saws Garden and Forest, and it is zp-
oreciated that forest Ere, from Its
possible magnitude; is. the worst posi-
ble fire, will legislation be of substanc
tial value. What such legislation
should be in its essence is well set
forth in a circular to- Iumbermen pre-
pared by B. e. Fernow and sent out by
the, department Of agriculture An
efficient law will assume that organ
lied machinery must be provided to
make it effective, and, since the dam
age done by forest fires extends beyond
mere private and personal loss, the
state' must be represented by some one
empowered. to- organize a fire service.
Responsibility for the execution OF the
law must rest upon this executive
head, and facilities for prosecuting Of
tenders must be at his command.
Nothing like any voluntary service can
be trusted. Officials must be paid and
must be held responsible for care IN
nerform;np their duties. and obedience
to regulations. This point cannot be
insisted upon too strongly. Protection
against fires will cost money, and this
fact must be recognized at the outset
Again, the common interest in: the pro-
lection of property must be recognized
by creating financial liability tor It's
enforcement on the part OF the COM
munity and. its members-that is, ss'ca
county, for example, ulnst be obliged
to pay into the state treasury certain
sum of money for every acre burned
over each year, as q fire indemnity
fund, to be applied to the maintenance
Of the system and for the payment OF
damages TO those whose property has
beeh burned without.neglect on their
own part.
A law based on such principles is
now in force in Maine, and the people
of that state are proving. that it can be
made effective.

Chinese Antipathy to the Telegraph.

The two American bicyclers,
Allen and Sachtleben, tell in the
Century Of their meeting with o
'Chinaman in the heart Of tho
fowery kingdom who electrified
them by addressing them in the
purest English. HE was one Of
that party Of mandarids' sons which
had been sent over to our country
some years ago, as an experiment
by the Chinese government, to re-
ceive a thorough American training.
We cannot here give the history Of
that experiment, as Mr.. Woo re-
lated it-how they were subsequent
1y accused Of cutting off their
queues and becoming denationalized,
how, in consequence, they were re-
called to their native land, and de-
graded rather than elevated, both
by the people and the government,
because they were foreign in their
sentiments and habits; and how, at
last, they gradually began to force
recognition through the power of
merit alone. He had now been sent
out by the government to engineer
the extension of the telegraph line
from Su-chou to. Urumtsi, for it was
feared by the government that the
employment of o foreigner in this
capacity would only increase the
power for evil which the natives al
ready attributed to this foreign in
novation. The similarity in the
phrases telegraph pole and dry
heaven had inspired the common be-
lief that the line Of poles then
stretching across the country was
responsible for the long-existing
drought. In one night several miles
of poles were sawed short off, by the
secret order of a banded conspiracy.
After several decapitatious, the
poles were now being restored, and
labelled with the words: Put up by
order of the emperor. "

a Vessel Strangely Damaged in tho
Gulf Of California.
The barkentine G. G. Funk, in
port at Port Townsend from Santa
Rosalia, Mexico, had an unusual and
exciting experience in the Gulf OF
California with o swordfsh. The
vessel was going south with q cargo
OF merchandise from San francisco,
and was speeding along ct q nine
knot rate when it was noticed that
the sea was greatly disturbed. The
water seemed to boil as though some
big animal was racing through it at
tremendous rate of speed. The Of
ticcrs we're unable to account for the
strange phenomenon, and watched
the unusal scene in amazement.
Suddenly the barlentine received
such severe shock that every man
on board was carried from his feet.
For an instant the vessel was ar
rested in her progress, stopped still,
quivered like wounded animal, and
then slowly got under way. The Of
ficers and crew gazed at one another
in blank amazement, ,surmising that o
submarine volcano had burst through
the bottom Of the sea and that tho
vessel had struck o rock. Capt.
Glazier was unable to account for the
strange adventure until he arrived
at Santa Rosalia, where the. vessel
was discharged and her hull exam
ined.
In the hold Of the ship, sticking
through the timbers, protruded the
extreme end of a flsh's sword. About
four inches was broken off with q
sledgc hammer, and is now preserved
on board as trophy of the occa-
sion. The animal had evidently mis-
taken the hull of the barkentinc for
a whale, and was bent on taking its
life. The sword struck the barken-
tine on the starboard side, at poiut
below the water line, beneath the
fore chainplates, penetrating five
inch plank and one of the ships tim
bers, where it was broken, the fish
leaving about eighteen inches of his
weapon sticking in the vessels side.
Some water came through the aper-
ture, and it was necessary to call
up the hole.
Capt. Glazier says that it was the
most remarkable adventure that he
ever experienced at sea, and that
the fish must have been of immense
size to have so greatly disturbed the
sea and to have struck the vessel
with such tremendous force as to
have driven it's sword through COM
paratively new vessels side.-Seat-
