TALE OF TWO BABIES.

True Story of Boston Life Related by a
Radcliffe College Girl.
The car was crowded when l reached
l., and there was only one vacant seat
In the front, which [ was glad to occu-
py. Just as l settled back, with sigh
of satisfaction, even before ] had a
chance to become curious about my
neighbor, I heard from the rear of the
car baby's fretful cry and a wearied
mothers voice trying to soothe the tired
child. Mingled with these sounds came
a second mothers tone, drawing but
eomplacent.
"Ned, she said, "hear that poor lit
tie sing try. Ned is dood baby. He
never criesl''
OF course my curiosity was aroused,
and I turned TO see the rival babies and
their mammas. The fussy little one was
in full sight. One rosy cheek rested on
the shoulder of neat but travel stained
little woman. The pretty, baby blue
eyes were filed with tears, the chubby
little fellow was sucking his thumb and
doing his best to go to sleep, but the
time and the place were against him.
The patient, dark eyes Of the mother
face of her boy as she rocked him softly
IN her arms.
All this l saw in moment, and l
then tried to look beyond this interest
ing mother and her natural boy to that
wonderful baby that never cried and to
his proud parent. [ could not see them,
however, because the restless little head
hid them from me, but every now and
then there came to my ear the hush Of
one voice, followed by the proud tone of
the other.
At last the train stopped with one of
those backing, humping motions with
which we are all familiar. Then the
terrified scream of the. thoroughly
aroused baby made the nervous mother
hasten to leave the car as quickly as
possible. Following her and close =
hind her was a fat woman, with wrin-
kles in the back of her neck and large,
snowy hat. She lifted her baby up with
one jeweled hand, and as she kissed him
on the pug nose drawled out: ''Ned's a
dood boy. Ned's mamma S own sweet,
precious doggie. boston Globe.

RUB THE OTHER EYE.
Good Advice of an Engineer Regarding the
Removal of Cinders.

Good Advice of an Engineer Regarding the
Removal of Cinders.
Nine persons out of every ten with a
cinder or any foreign substance in the
eye will instantly begin to rub the eye
with one hand while hunting for the
handkerchief with the other. They may
and sometimes do remove the offending
cinder, but more frequently they rub IN
til the eye becomes infamed, bind a
handkerchief around the head and go to
bed. This is all wrong. The better way
is not to rub the eye with the cinder in
it at all, but rub the other eye as Wig
orously as you like, according to a
writer in The Medical Summary, who
relates the following experience:
GA few years since [ was riding on
the engine of a fast express. The en-
gineer threw open the front window,
and 1 caught cinder that gave me the
most eXcruciating pain. began to rub
the eye with both hands. Let your eye
alone and rub the other eye (this from
the engineer). I thought he was chatting
me and worked the harder. L know you
doctors think you know it all, but if
you will let that eye alone and rub the
other one the cinder will be out in two
minutes, persisted the engineer.
81 began to rub the other eye. Soon
[ felt the cinder down near the inner
canthus and made ready to take it out.
Let it alone and keep at the we'll eye, !
shouted the doctor pro tenn. [ did SO for
a minute longer, and looking in small
glass he gave me found the offender on
my cheek Since then I have tried it
many times and have advised many
others and have never known it to fail
in one instance unless it was as sharp
as piece of steel or something that cut
into the ball and required an operation
to remove it. d."

ALL SORTS.
Sixty Thousand Drunkards.

This is yearly the rate at which rum is
killing people in the United States alone
Until within less than two years drunk
enness has been thought incurable.
There are now TWO remedies that are
known to cure the victims of the al
cohOl, opium and tobacco habits. One
Of these, and the one having the best
record, whenever the two remedies have
been tried side by side-as in Concord
n. HIS the Houston Specific. In that
city, says a recent issue Of the Concord
Monitor;
The men are free now, to whom life
has a new meaning, a new zest, and a
noble purpose. Their appetite for poi
sonous liquor is destroyed. The giant
habit that held them so long has been
annilila ted. 1t seems almost miracu-
lous. Temperance pledges are generally
written in sand. The next wave of cir
cumStanceS, or the next COnvIvial wind
That blows, will obliteI ate them. The
health of the temperance lecturer, how
ever sincere and eloquent he may be, is
drank at many a bar. Men with hot
tears of regret and re1norse trickling
down their cheeks, still drink. They re-
lent and repent, but they are unable to
leave liquor alone. The strong arm of
the law seems powerless to interfere eff
fectively between mankind and the terri
BILE curse that is blighting many Of its
! strongest men.
/ The discovery of that wonderful speci-
! fc known as the Houston cure marks an
! epoch in temperance work. Indulgence
! IN lntOxicants drifts uncOnsciouslv from a
| habit into a positive disease, and then
| cannot be treated satisfactorily unless as
/ such. The blood especially must be
| brought back into a normal condition,
/ the heart must be encouraged into
/ rhythmic regularity, the circulation
must regain its equilibrium, the lung
| power must be increased to its full
/ capacity. the stomach invigorated, the
/ liver and kidneys toned into Il healthy
state, and every function of the body re-
/ iuvenated, and freed from the damning
/ influence of alcohol. This IS all done by
/ simple and harmless, but very effective
treatment. The patient is not weakened
on the contrary, his strength is in
! creased-nor is he made sick or impaired
! In any way but he is absolutely relieved
/ OF all need and desire for stimulants, and
comes out at the end of three weeks a
fresh, new man, ready to cope with life's
/ battles and to be what he should be to
/ those who love him.
The expense of taking the medical
treatment is something, but it is the best
and most profitable investment that any
| regular or periodical drinker can make

that reason IS the greatest critical au-
thority in France.
He told US of his duel with Hector
Pessard, the musical critic and comic
opera composer, who is very charming
man, by the way. Sarcey, in 1868,
wrote a scathing attack on Girardin's
paper, La Liberte. Emile de Girardin
objected ON principle to duels, so the
editorial staff, considering their literary
style insuIted by Sarcey, drew lots as to
who would call him out and kill him if
possible The lot fell on Pessard. Now,
Pessard and Sarcey were great friends,
but it was necessary to obey the call OF
honor, so Pessard sent the challenge,
which Sarcey accepted with dignity.
The adversaries took off their coats and
vests and faced each other, swords in
hand, when, lol the four seconds took to
squabbling over some detail. The dis
pute was long and ferocious, and the
two adversaries fell into conversation,
sword in hand.
Quoth Pessard-I am frozen. Would
you mind if L put on my coat?
Sarcey-A good idea. We can kill
each other later.
Pessard-Let me tell you, my dear
Sarcey, how greatly 1 admire your tai
ent.
Sarcey-I can say the same to you,
but why are we going to kill each other?
Pessard-I don't quite know. 1t
seems you grossly insulted me, and if 1
do not succeed in killing you that you
must certainly Stay me in expiration.
Sarcey (meditatively)-I do not re-
member having insulted you, but If you
say so l suppose it is true.
In the meantime the four seconds
were quarreIing furiously. One gentle
man was shaking his fist in his oppo-
nent's face and another was brandish-
ing his riding whip, whereupon Sarcey
suddenly burst out laughing and said:
Come, Pes5ard, let Us separate our
seconds, and then, instead of cutting
each others threats, we will go and
have some breakfast. -
Which was no sooner said than done,
and the two duelists have been fast
friends ever since.-Paris Letter i'll

BEWARE OF FRESH OLIVES.

How a California Planter Amuses Himself
at the Expense of Innocent Travellers.
Eastern visitors in California are al
ways much interested in the olive plan
tations which, in recent years, have be-
come a feature of the most sOutherly
counties of the state. The lovers of the
succulent fruit when picked and bot
tied for sale in the east and north are
always anxious to taste the olive fresh
and ripe. There is popular impression
that it is sweet and delicious; but, like
many other popular impressions, this is
a delusiOn and snare.
A few miles south of San Diego,
where the railroad makes a junction
with small one track road leading into
Mexico, a large planter has taken adj
vantage of this delusion for his own
amusement. On the arrival of each train
from the north numerous travellers dis
mount to wait the starting of the train
across the Mexican border. For their
benefit the planter has nailed a box out
side of his fence just across the way
from the railroad station which he keeps
filed with nice, ripe olives. A placard
invites victims in these words:
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1894-10-04
FINE, FRESH, RIPE OLIVES
FREE.
HELP YOURSELF.


OF course there is rush from the sta
ton as soon as the box and its contents
are discovered, and swarms of innOcents
seize the pretty fruit and dig their teeth
into it. Then there is combined howl
and a great deal of expectoration and
disgust, Tor the delusive fruit are near
ly as puckery as persimmons.
And the planter? Oh, he takes his fun
from a partly hidden summer house
within his grounds, where he occasion
ally seats himself to enjoy the spectacle
1t is a sure cure for the blues, he says

THE cuNNIN LITTLE THING.

When baby wakes of mornings,
Then it's wake, ye people all!
For another day
OF song and play
Has come at our darling's CALL
And till she gets her dinner
She makes the welkin ring.
And she won't keep still till she's had her
fill
The cunnin little thingl
When baby goes a-walking,
Oh, how her paddles fiyl
For that's the way the babies say
To other folks by by
The trees bend down TO kiss her,
And the birds in rapture sing,
As there she stands and waves her hands
The cunnin little thing!
When baby goes a-rocking
In her bed at close Of day,
At hide and seek
On her dainty cheek
The dreams and the dimples play.
Then it's sleep in the tender kisses
The guardian angels bring
From the far above to my sweetest love
You cunnin little thing!

SARceYS FAMOUS DUEL.
The Noted Partisan Critics Own Story of
the Encounter.

the Encounter.
At this moment appears a gentleman
whom all Paris knows and almost all
Parisians adore-namely, Francisque
Sarcey Knowing himself to be among
friends, he talked freely. Tor half
century nearly our great critic has held
the pen, at first timidly, and now he
yields it with unquestioned authority.
Like most Partisan celebrities, he was
born in the provinces, at Dourdan,
where his father kept a school after the
fall of the first Napoleon dissolved the
army in which the elder Sarcey had IN
sisted on enlisting in spite of his excess
i've nearsightedness, transmitted TO his
son. There Sarcey's parents toiIed with
varying fortunes, and thence Franclsque
took his fight for Paris and walked
firmly in the footprints of the late Jules
Janin, who also devoted his life TO
dramatic criticism. He makes an idol OF
the drama. He lives for his work. He re-
rpectfully considers dramatic criticism
an art and not a trade, and perhaps for
