She Puts aa Insane Asylum Attendant tA
 Sleep Easily.

Sleep Easily. VI
 TOPEKA, May 7.-Mrs. Mary K. LeasA orator and politician, has assumed a new role. She is a hypnotist, and a first class one at that, as shown by an exhibition giya en by her here during a petty investiga- tion now proceeding against certain off cers of the State Insane asylum. During tho proceedings Mrs. Lease, without an nouncing her purpose, walked across the committee room to where J. L. Flint, an attendant at the asylum, was sitting, and remarked with pass Of her hands before his eyes:
 "Mr. Flint, you look weary. Your tes- timony of yesterday must have been try ing on you!"
 Mir. Flint attempted to disclaim any such wearincss, but Mrs. Lease made an other pass of her hands, and Flint went "dead asloep.''
 "Mr. Flint" said Mrs Lease did you read the report of your testimony in The Capitalg'
 No" said Flint, "I did not"
 Well. you did not testify to any such things as Tho Capital said you did, did youy' handing him sheet of writing paper containing only a list of names
 No, that's all wrong. did not testify to anything of that kind The Capital has got it all mixed up"
 Sec, said CTS Lease, how stiff your arm is getting" Flint arm drew up and became as rigid as a tent pOle
 And your limbs too, said the Wichi- taito And straiGhtway ono of his legs was stiffer than it ought to be.
 For 10 or l0 minutes Mrs. Lease played wish her subject to tho vast entertain mont of the spectators. She made him do all sorts of things ridiculous and othcr- wisn and finally brought him out of his trance with a few passes of her hand
 As Mrs. lCaso proceeded with her black art tho committee and witnesses looked on dumtounhed, and only regaincd their com posture when she laushinSly declared the performance over for the day.

"YANkEE DOODLE"
How the Song Originated and the Braver
nf the

OF the Mhcaroufs-
From the time a Yankee boy dons
his first pair of trousers and can shove
his hands into his pockets he begins to
whistle yankee Doodle" He whistles
it when he goes to school, and later in
his college days the old tune is called
upon as an outlet for the exuberance
which naturally follows some college
victory. The merry strains may be
used to express his feelings when he
has been accepted by his best girl, and
again he teaches it to his boys as his
father taught it to him.
Yet it is no exaggeration TO say that
not one out of hundred Yankee boys
can tell where the song originated,
and should he even apply to his father
for the information on the subject it is
safe to say that he would be dismissed
with the evasive and general state
ment thet it was written during the
revolution. In the general sense the
statement is correct, but again the av-
erage Yankee boy is not satisfied with
only general idea So let the boy
read this and learn whence came the
song which is regarded as the national
anthem of Yankeeland all over the
world.
Just before the battle of Long Island
Gen. George Washington applied to the
continental congress for more troops,
and among those sent him was Col.
Smallwood's brigade of Maryland in
fantry. They were only two hundred
strong, but what they lacked in num-
bers they made up in courage. Added
to their reputation for bravery, they
were conspicuous by reason of their
particularly bright uniforms, which
were copied after those of regiment
of the private guard of the king OF
italy. Red, gold, green and blue were
so intermingled that other soldiers in
palmer dress dubbed them the ''Maca-
ronis." Then a wag of the Long Island
camp took the music of a German
drinking song and wrote the doggerel:
Yankee Doodle came to town riding on pony,
He stuck feather in his cap and called him
Macaroni.l
The Macaroni referred to must have
been one of Col Smallwood's brigade,
which later took part in the campaign
which ended in the surrender of Corn
wallis at Yorktown, Va, and fought
with such daring bravery that, when
the articles of peace were signed be-
tween this country and England and
they went to their homes in and around
Baltimore, only fifteen Macaronis re-
manned out of the brigade of two hun
dred.
And while very few if any histories
of the United States record the brave
deed of the Macaronis they will forever
be immortalized in the song which was
written as a jest at their expense, and
which is now whistled and sung from
Maine to California and from Hong
Kong to London. indianapolis Senti-

TENDING THE BABY.
Proper Provisions for Doing 1t In a scien-
tific Manner.

Proper Provisions for Doing 1t In n scien-
tific Manner.
Experts in the management of in
fants say that half of the children are
handicapped for life by the unfortunate
and uncomfortable conditions of the
first three months of their lives. No
sooner are they ushered into this vale
of tears than they are handled and e--
hibited and exposed, carried around in
temperatures suited to full-blooded,
stalwart adults Their nerves are de-
stroyed by being continually reused
from their normal quiet condition,
their eyes are strained by being held
up to the light to be examined by adj
miring relatives and visitors, and their
bones are hopelessly warped by injudi-
cious dressing, and too much upright
position before they are able 20 bear
it. The dress of babies is great and
significant factor in their future well
fare. Newborn babes ought To be
wrapped in autiseptic cotton instead
of being done up in flannel, as is ordi.
narily the custom. They should never
be disturbed, should be kept with their
backs to the light, and Cra iually ac-
customed to exposure to daylight, all
a temperature of blood-heat shoul oe
maintained without variation. This
same authority declares that if a child
could be kept in a perfectly steady
temperature and unhampered by the
denominations that are called baby
clothes, was allowed to sleep when
ever it would, and permitted to grow
unhindere6 by enthusiastic admiration
and dandling, the race might be revo-
lutionized within a century. Sheets
of prepared cotton are the very best
possible garments for babies for the
first three months. A grain of corn
after the little germ has shown itself
would make exceedingly poor head
way were it uncovered and disturbed
and exposed to all kinds of affection
ate coddling. and this before it got
strength to endure it: but this would
be no more unnatural than the popu-
lar and fashionable management of
the modern baby. When a woman be-
comes wise enough to provide a COM
plete wardrobe of antiseptic cotton for
the newcomer. she will save herself an
enormous amount of work and worry,
and. provided she has the firmneSs to
keep her child in proper temperature
and unmolested, will have the salts

cal, well balanced and agreeable
youngster.-N Y. Ledger.
