Blondin,s Rome.

In fragment Of autobiography written
some years ago, Blondin tells us that the
ropc he generally used was formed with a
flexible core of steel wiro covered with the
best MANILA hemp, about an inch or three
quarters Of an inch in diameter, several
hundred yards in length, and costing
about e100. A largo windlass at either
end Of the rope served to mako it taut,
whilo it was supported by two high poles.
His balancing poles, Of ash wood, vary in
length, and are in three sections, and
weigh from 81 to AZ pounds. He is indif-
ferent as to the height at which he is to
perform. Blondin has never confessed to
any nervousness ON the rope, and while
walking he generally looks 1s or 20 feet
ahead and whistles or huns some snatch
of n song. The time kept by musical
band has frequently aided him in preserv-
ing his balance. Blondin is something of
both carpenter and blacksmith, and is able
to make his own models and fit up his
own apparatus. journal.

run away at the first opportunity and
JOIN the vast army of bootblacks and
newsboys. The restraint OF the orphan
asylum makes the youngsters long for
liberty and they are quick to seize the
first changce to gain it.
In all of the city asylums governed by
religious bodies the children are instruct
ed in various callings by which they can
earn livelihood. Cooking, dressmak-
ing and millinery are taught the girls.
while the boys are instructed in masonry,
carpentry and kindred callings. When
tn ese youngsters are ready to begin the
real battle, great care is taken t. place
them where they will be well brought up.
England has developed the orphanage
problem to a very high degree in some Of
her institutions. particularly in those
watched over by the various branches of
royalty. Perhaps the finest asylum in
the world is the Reedham orphanage at
Purdy. in Surrey. The Duchess of Teck
takes keen interest in this asylum. and
at the annual exercises usually distributes
the prizos to the girls and boys.

erty. and ii is interesting to follow the
career of this child in all the stages its
life under the parentage of the city from
the time when it is first picked up by the
policeman until it is set adrift to battle
for living.
Occasionally one reads IN the newspa-
pers of finely dressed babe teing found
in some fashionable locality and perhaps
delicate bit of romance is weaved about
the yOungster. AS a matter of cold fact,
an infant covered with lace and fine linen
is not picked up by the police once IN
three years. If an unfortunate mother has
the sentiment and the money to clothe
her babe in fine rain,ent she will take ad-
vantage OF one of the many avenues open
for its adoption by some family which
will rear it carefully. Such mother is
not likely to trust it to the cold mercy of
the city. In four years OF repvrtorial SER
vice at police headquarters, where all
waits are brought, the writer never saw,
among the hundreds OF infants, one that
was even fairly we'll dressed. All of them
bore the stamp OF poverty both in their
clothing and pinched features. Matron
babes from the policemen. has not yet
seen an expensively dressed infant under
her official care.
When a policeman brings a babe to
headquarters every stitch on the young
,ter Is carefully searched for any clew to
rs luenIlty or name. ms SearCn gener-
ally meets with failure. Then the babe
is fed and washed. All babies brought to
headquarters are abnormally hungry ana
invariably in need of bath. They are
held there few days in the hope that
the parents may call for them. Like the
search of the clothing this hope is in
variably vain one.
Afteritne lapseyof a few days the babe
becomes the official ward of the city, and
the matron bestows name upon the
youngster. usually plain matter of fact
one. II girl baby has light yellow hair
II may be called Helen Gold, or if it has
brown eyes it may grow up as Helen
Brown. The matron has not much time
to think the names up, and the first one
that occurs to her is utilized.

are drilled in battalions and go through
