growl, and aimed savage blow at my

charged with electricity are fastened
to it and connected with a carbon ZEN

LuckLEss BABIES.
Strange Phase of Life In New York and
Other Large CItise.

A strange Phase OF Life In New York and
Other Large Cities.
1t used to be thought that a mothers
tenderness was something no power
could efface, but when one examines
the condition of the suffering INDECENT,
and especially of those who owe it in
some degree to themselves that they
are in want, one is led to modify such
opinion. Almost all of the mothers
among these people who come under
condemnation. however, are they that
have degraded themselves by the use
of intoxicants. The mother has TO be-
come lower than a beast before she
can abuse her baby. But when the
records of societies for the aid of chill
dren show that children in arms have
been whipped with thongs and straps.
have been thrown as missiles from one
Infatuated parent to another, have
been scared with hot irons by mad and
drunken fathers and mothers, have
even met with worse cruelty, too
shocking for recital in our sensitive
ears, one sees how possible it is for
man and woman TO fall into a condi-
tion even lower than that of the
brutes
That a mother can desert her new
born baby, leaving it TO the mercy of
the race, or even do so knowing that
speedy death is the best thing that can
happen to it, we are all aware; but
when child is found creeping in the
garbage of a tazement house yard, it
seems as if the child had been in the
mothers arms long enough for love to
have grown so that such desertion
would be impossible. 1t isquite as diff
ficult to understand the condition of a
mother who Graves strong drink TO such
an extent that she sells wardrobe and
bedclothes and furniture TO buy it
while her children starve, or splits
chair and table for l5indling-wood
rather than spend for that the money
that goes for drink. or even that of the
more kindly-disposed woman who duils
cold and hunger for her children by
giving them the poison too. The cat
loves her kittens better than that; she
does not cast them off till they can do
for themselves; the wild bear of the
woods who dies for her cubs at need is
the nobler animal.
1t should move the heart of every
mother who has been kept from temp
tation herself. and whose rosy darlings
are shielded by warm tenderness to
think of these wretched little beings,
who would be too amazed, if brought
into such happiness as theirs, to knew
what it meant It should seem to
these fortunate mothers that it is not
enough TO do their duty within their
own four walls; that part of their
duty lies beyond, where these little
creatures are to be found in their
squalor and distress; and that aside
from the obligation to the neighbor
thus involved is the further obligation
to their own children of preventing. as
far as may be, such ruin. -Iiarper's

Hints to the wise ones.

A blue-eyed person never looks SO
blue-eyed as in a blue dress or white
with blue cravat, whereas the strong
blue of the fabric might have been ex-
pected to dim the slight blue of the
eye. A woman with remarkably red
lips clad in dull heiiotrope, with
amethysts, has all the coral taken
from her mouth, which wears instead
light heliotrope tint, and with this
pink the pink of her check is also
touched An ordinary or even sallow
cheek never looks SO beautifully white
as over white dress which seemed to
threaten to darken it. And beautiful
as the aesthetic" colors were in their
day, they quenched and dimaned their
wearers TO their own tone. This Is
not to be easily explained by any
known chromatic rules Nor can one
say why turquoise blue darkens dark
eyes and adds to their brightness. Ex-
pertinent and verification should be as
much valued by the women as by the
Comtist philosopher.

apart. Then set firmly in the ground,
and with a hoe or spade make a

ladder large enough to hold pail of

center, and after it has got we'll

THREATS TO RICH MEN,
Dwellings of New York MiIionaires Pa
Carded by Anarchists c"
cponLc

New York, Feb. 9.-Houses of lead
ing men on Fifth Avenue were placard-
ed last night with the dire threats of
crank, and considerable anxiety was the
result. The warning was in Latin and
read:
BROTHERS: Remember the glorious ex-
ample of Valiant. Death to the rich man.
This is marked man. Warn all. By the
will of the common people.
This was found first on the door of
DR.. Depew's house at 4} West Fifty
fourth Street. The placard was glued
to the wall under the door bell. A
similar warning notice was also found
at the Vanderbilt mansion, Fifth Ave
nue. and Fifty-frst Street. 1t is said
that the residence of Messrs. John d.
Rockefeller, FL. NJ. Flagler and c. P.
Huntington were also decorated with
these warnings. So far as can be learned
little alarm is felt in the Vanderbilt,
Astor or Depew family. In some GUAR
ters it is said that the Anarchists, now
fired with zeal "a la Valiant" are
known as members of the elmer circle"
and they are just at present Matching
plots of diabolical Wickedness.
