BABY MARKET IN LONDON.
An English Reformer's Plan to Provide
Homes for Little Ones.

Homes for Little Ones.
William T. Stead, reformer, agltator
and phiIanthropist, has furnished the
world new sensation by establish
ing in London II baby market. The
baby market, or, rs some term II, baDE
exchange, is a prettily-furnished suite
of apartments in one of the eminently
respectable portions of the English me-
tropolis. The object of attempting this
experiment was to create an instltu-
ton that would provide children for
married couples entirely without fam
ilv, but who felt the desire to fill up
the blank in their hearts and homes
by adopting as their own some of the
homeless among the little ones. 1t is
this wapt, that the baby market fills.
To the|comforta bly-furnished rooms
where the babies who may be adopted.
together with absolutely correct in
formation concerning them, are to be
found, many women, young and old.
charming and ugly. wend their way
every day to see what specimens OF
juvenile beauty are candidates for home
honors. Of course. the babies are like
al other humanity. both bad and good.
But the well-treated. well-fed and we'll
washed baby is not inclined to be ill
natured. and so all look their prettiest
and smile their sweetest at the tender
hearted women who come to view them
on adoption bent. The babies vary in
age from. six months to three years,
but the tender age predominates.
Sometimes it happens that children
beyond the customary, age seek pa
rents and hope for would-be parents TO
| seek them. For instance. the mother
of two little boys. eight and five years
| Old. respectively. recently wrote to Mr..
Stead asking him to find a home for her
! children The death of her husband
had left her almost destitute. These
! two little fellows are grandsons of one
of the best known Judges of India. As
| rule. the antecedents of a child
are not revealed. owing to the fact that
innocence would frequently be forced
TO suffer for the guilt of others. Such
| instances as the one quoted are by no
means rare. for in England. as in no
other country, it is the case that good
| blood and poverty often dwell together.
While it is not always the case. and.
perhaps. not in the majority of ill
stances. that baby is sold as if it were
an infantile specimen of the pug dog,
pens that a mother receives cash con-
sideration for parting with her little
one. Generally it occurs that persons
who are DESTROYS of procuring ready
made children are plentifully supplied
with this worlds goods. Therefore. it
is quite natural that they should offer
TO objection to. and generally prefer,
giving reasonable compensation to
the lOrn mother.
1t sometimes happens, however. that
the foster parents reverse this order
of things, and. after selecting a desir-
able youngster. inquire how much they
are to be paid for taking it. This class
of persons are frowned upon by Mr..
Stead. and he has formally notified
them that their presence at the baby
market is not desired, and will be
promptly dispensed with. if avoida BILE
in no other fashion.-st. Louis Globe
Democrat.

GREECE seems determined to precipi-
tate another war in Europe, being
urged on by the sympathy of England
and Italy, and deluded into the belief
that Russia and Germany will not act
She is doubtless counting without her
host, and when the Turkish army is
drawn up for the reduction of Athens.
Greece will listen in vain for a protest
from Russia and for the tramp of Brit

England establish another Gibraltar in
Crete, and Greece may yet learn JUS
tice from the Turk, just as the Cru
saders learned civilization from the de-

A Havana spe ial to the New York
World says: Through Cubans here it

nearly $50 soldiers were killef or in

about the 10Th.
The Spanish general, Arail, had

bridge about 500 feet long.
The insurgents. learning of the de-
parture of the train, lined the bridge

the woods. The insurgents lay IN am

made himself famous in Cuba by his
work with the dynamite gun, cOntrivt d

The train approached the bridge
about 3 o'clock in the morning. When
fully on it, all three charges were ex-

the air like so many chips and fell into
the deep gorge below, crushing dead

caught fire.
AS soon as the explosion occurred the

FROZEN MUTTON.
Preparation of the New Zealand Produc
for the Market.

OF the new ZealaHu
for the Market.
The reason why Argentine mutton
generally is of inferior price to that of
New Zealand has threefold EXPLAIN
ton. In the first place New Zealand
possesses to-day Il mutton-producing
breed superior to that known in the
Plate. In the second, the New Zealand
en-. feeds his stock during the winter
time with extra forage, while in the Ar
gentine the sheep are allowed to Craze
upon the same bare pampa during the
dead season. The result of this is that
the New Zealander produces an even,
well-grown carcass, while there is sent
home from the Plate one upon which a
Easty covering of fat has been put dur
ing the spring months of the year. The
difference between the two carcaSSeS
will readily be noted by anyone who
pays a visit to the cattle market Third
ly, the freezer in New Zealan nd freezes
the mutton on account of the breeder;
and in the Argentine the freezer BUYS
from the breeder. The disadvantage of
the latter system. so long as the breeder
has no knowledge of the requirements
of the market, is apparent The New
Zealand breeder selects his wethers
with care. rejecting any which will give
an inferICr weight. or which are IN
sufficiently fatteueC for the butcher
lie RENTS them in small droves to the
freezing establishments. and takes
every care that they shall arrive in per-
feet order. The Argentine breeder, Oh
