A Cable Car Passengers Estimate of
the Young Man Who Sat Near Her.
From the Chicago Times.
An elderly Irish woman who was in a
Madison street car yesterday wished to get
out at Halsted street. The conductor was
on the front platform, so the woman. ad-
dressing a gentlemanly looking young man
opposite her, said:
'Shtop the car"
The young man looked over her head.
"Shtop the car. 1 say" she repeated,
glaring at him gely.
Still no response.
Didn't l tell you to shtop this carr" she
shouted, gripping her umbrella.
Il am not the conductor" remarked the
young man, with sarcasm, while the young
women in the car Uttered.
''Faix, an you're not" replied the Irish
woman, scornfully; IAN you're no gentle
man, nayther. Moreover, you're no blessin'
to your mother, you're not. If you were

Administering Medicine to Children.

From the New York Telegram.
Tact and truthfulpsss- should be used in
administering medicine to children. The
administration of medicine to infants and
children requires both skill and tact Meas
ures that conduce to the physical comfort
of the little patient are readily recognized
and appreciated. but the. good effects Of a
nauseous dose are not so apparent. and
children win often evincs a repugnance to
taking medicine that can only be overcome
by the greatest firmIess and tact, Parents
and nurses, therefore, should endeavor to
gain the entire confidence of the child
Above ALL they should never deceive it by
the assurance that an unpleasant mixture
Is agreeable, as the confidence thus lost
can seldom be regained. Absolute truth
fulness Is essential in all dealings with
children, and many a child can often be
induced to take a disagreeable drug il as
sured that 1t Is for it's good by some one
whom 1t trusts. Much has been done of
late years toward making medicines for
children more agreeable; but there is still
room for improvement, and the admins
tration of drugs still remains a difficult
task, especially in the cases Of spoiled and
poorly trained children.

Steamer Greoian Breaks the lee
Sighting Record.

Ice seems to be more than ordinarily
plentiful along the ocean lanes of trans
atlantic steamships just now. For
months shippers Of vessels have been
bringing reports of bergs floating near
the steamship lanes, but Capt. Nunan,
OF the Grecian, of the Allan-State line,
breaker in this respect.
The Grecian left Glasgow. Scotland,
May lS. and during voyage of less
than eleven days, as shown by her log,
passed eighty-one big ice islands.
No record was made of the innumerable
smaller chunks of ice sighted, but mem
bers Of the Grecian's crew say that the
sea was "slushy" with small ice for a
great part of the voyage.
According to the Grecian's log the big
bergs are thick between latitude 1880,
longitude H.09, and latitude 1910, longi-
tude $3.50. Fifty-two Of the eighty-one
bergs were sighted in this distance.
A little further on six other bergs were
seen. and little later one was sighted
that had gone aground on Ballard Bank.
In the vicinity of Cape Race the Gre
clan passed twenty other icebergs.
