A LITTLE STRANGER.
The Senses of an Infant are at First Dor
mant.

The Senses of an Infant Are at First Dor
mant.
Few of us, although we may have
spent our lives among children, are
aware how utterly helpless a new born
baby is. We usually think of it as
having an entirely completed organiza-
ton, but being just at first somewhat
quicscent-how quiescent only the late
researches of science have told u.s. In
point of fact, the newborn baby COM
ing into the light sees nothing: hailed
with delight, hears nothing: handled,
washed, possibly pricked, feels moth
ing: in a world of all sorts of odors,
smells nothing; with its food waiting
for it, tastes nothing. The first sense
that develops is that of taste, very
feebly at first, but in short time the
baby shows, by the expression of it's
little face, the agreeableness of sweet.
the dislike of acid or bitter; and almost
coincidently with this comes the sense
of smell, for by means of that it recog-
nizes its food and expresses its prefer
ence when but a few days old.
The sense of touch is developed still
Il
and its nerves lively, their impressions
are not conveyed to the brain with suf-
ficient force or rapidity to be read; the
little brain recognizes neither pinch
ing, slapplng nor tickling in the earlier
days-that is a matter of education,
and education is not rapid where one
sleeps three-quarters of 5he time. The
circumstance that at first a child hears
nothing, and for a good while hears
but slightly and partially, is of great
value to the delicate condition of the
new auditory nerve, and to the little
unwritten brain in the midst of guam
tity of exclamation and movement, as,
il it could have impressions, it would
be used so rapidly as to cause serious
nervous and intellectual complications
and injuries.
All the cooling and caressing of the
mother is unheard by the child at
frst-at least that is the result of the
researches of DIR. Preyer, professor of
physiology at Jena, and the accepted
authority on the subjeet-and fortu-
nate for the child it is, since if it were
otherwise that could not be had which
is absolutely necessary for the compile
ton of the little individual, regulation

How much of the form of war that IS
kept up in our army and navy in time
of peace-but more especially in the
armies and navies of Europe-is me-
dieval nonsense. A man expresses adj
verse opinions of the government and
he is guilty of treason. He criticises
his officers, he is a mutineer. He takes
day off or gets drunk like an every
day citizen, and he is sent to prison
and put on low diet and subjected to
indignities that the plain citizen would
never have to endure because his fell
lows would not allow it. lie has a
specl1 of mud on his boots or his gloves
and he is fined, or lectured like school
boy, perhaps before all of his comrades.
Finally he gets tired of so much gov
ernment and so little pay and goes
away, taking nothing with him but a
suit of clothes worth possibly eight
dollars, that he would much rather
leave behind, and if he is found he is
made to go back and finish his term,
and then he goes to prison for years
and years Brooklyn Eagle.

a NATION OF MONUMENTS.


The Koreans Constantly Prepared for
Deaths Visitation.
!. 1t so happened in Korea, near a CEN
tury and half ago that after one
king, by his departure from this life,
had entailed upon his people the wear
ing of the mournful white, the two
rulers who in succession followed him.
at the respective intervals of three and
six years, were themselves moved
down by the unsparing harvester. and.
as a result. the stricken nation was
kept in blanched attire for continu-
GUS period of ten years. BY popular
account, at the termination of this
protracted mourning. some wise man
whom the occasion produced suggested
that, should the people again provide
themselves with their many-colored
garments worn in happier times, and
the alarming mortality SO recently eX-
perienced should again be suffered by
the royal house, the nation would have
indulged in the useless expense of
garments never to be worn. So, with
a view to economy and constant prepar-
alton for deaths visitation, the kor-
cans became perpetual mourncrs.
However true this account may be. it
remains that long period of mourn
ing has engrafted upon the national
life this custom of wearing only white,
observed by all except the officers of
the crown.
The male attire for the coolie class
consists of two garments of coarse <ot-
ton shirtings, baggy trousers. usually
rolled to the knee, with an eXaggerat-
edly long waist that might easily
ensack the head falling over the belt
in loose fold, and a short iac6et
fastened at the breast, with loose
sleeves. Suspended from the belt are
a small string of cash (the counttv's
currency and a tobacco pouch, while
in one hand is the ever-present pipe,
with its thimblelille bowl and reed
stem yard in length. If the feet are
at all protected, it is by pair of straw
shoes, or. in rainy weather, by sabots,
each with two transverse cleats at
the hollow of the sole. All above the
coolie class, in addition to the trousers,
which they wear bound tightly above
the ankles, and jackets with smaller
sleeves, have flowing gown, bclted
just under the arms, and reaching TO
the feet This last garment, in the
case of the wealthy office-holders, is,
like their others. of beautiful Chinese
linen or of colored silk brocade. The
feet are encased in white cotton stock
ings. thiclIly wadded with cotton, and
Chinese shoes. -Harper's Weekly.
