THE BABY SHOW.
New Way to Have Fun With Your Friends
but There Is Danger In 1t.


The baby show" party is the latest in.
vention of the people who are always
amusing themselves and their friends by
devising original entertainments. II you
mediate giving a "baby show" party, you
must ask your guests TO send you in ad
vance the earliest pictures which they have
had taken. You will then be able to amuse
yourself with the daguerreotypes and fad.
ed photographs even before your fun with
the party begins. When the day Of the
event arrives, you must arrange the pic.
lures around the walls Of one of the rooms.
Each picture must have . number, and IL
is to be hoped, for your future peace OF
mind, that you will have taken the precau.
ton to provide for the identification OF
these various counterfeit presentments in
case the originals may be unable to recog-
nize their own pictures Each guest is
provided with pencil and paper and makes
list of the pictures as he interprets thsm,
SO to speak. For instance: No I, John
Smith; No. 2, Amanda Jones; No. 8, Kate
Cross and her brother William; No. 4, the
Brown family.
The person who identifies correctly the
largest number of pictures receives prize.
At an affair of this kind the other evening
there was a vast amount of fun and not a
little resentment A certain picture of a
particularly bouncing baby was almost
unanimously decided on as the young
image of a strapping athlete. When il
turned out to be the picture Of q dainty
little lady, taken in the good while ago,
there came very near being some coldness
in the atmosphere. 1t was hard to tell
which was the more injured party, the
young athlete or the little lady.
Also, there was a bright and beautiful
little cherub who was generally thought
to be the antecedent of one of the beauti-
full young women present. 1t was claimed,
however, by the homeliest girl in the
house, who almost burst into tears when
she saw the blank looks on the faces of the
guests. A young business man was EN-.
phatic in his protest against being identi
fed with sweet young 3-year-old in pan
talets, and there were few other lit
tie contretemps of similar nature. But,
taken altogether, the affair was great
success.-New York Sun.

Resume OF Flood Situation,

Washington. April 9.-Reports from
various Hooded districts along the Mis-
souri, and Mississippi and their tribu-
taries denote but little change in the
situation. Railroad traffic in North
Dakota is completely suspended.
Bridges have been washed away and
great damage done In cities and towns.
Telegraphic communication is broken
and the extent of damage cannot be
learned. At Kansas City and Omaha
the Missouri has passed all previous high
water marks. Great losses will result.
In the lower Mississippi district the
levees are still intact, but the heaviest
food is yet to come. With the added
water now pouring down from the
Northwest in all probability the Father
of Waters will burst all restraint

BUTTERWORTH'S THEORY.
His Lenlent Way of Treating For Kcforma-
tion Embryo Criminals.

His Lenlent Way of Treating For Rcforma-
tion Embryo Criminals.
Commissioner of Patents Butterworth
is one of the men who believe that a
prosecuting attorney is better engaged
in side tracking embryo criminals ON
the road to perdition and getting them
on tile road to righteousness than i'll
corralling them for shipment to the
penitentiary, where they are thrown
into association with professional crooks
Several years ago Major Butterworth
was prosecuting attorney i'll southern
Ohio and he had tho opportunity to test
his theory regarding the discrimination
that should be used i'll dealing with
men newly launched into crime. y
young farmer was arrested for passing
counterfeit shinplastors, rs the 90 cent
note was known, and the case was put
in the hands of Major Butterworth,
The young man told his story He had
saved several hundred dollars, had left
his wife and little children and had
taken boat down tho Mississippi river,
purposing to settle ON new farm he
was to buy with his hard earned say
ings, On the boat he met an extremely
pleasant and well dressed stranger, who
learned of his mission and proceeded to
make himself agreeable In moment
of extreme confidence the stranger told
the young man of n largo quantity of
money he had which WAS made from
plates that had formerly belonged to the
government and which tho government
hn. lone, -. e..
The young man was struck by that re-
markable method of acquiring wealth
when he had toiled and saved for years
to get his few hundred In burst of
generosity the stranger offered To tx
change some Of his money for green
backs belonging To his new found
friend, SO that the latter should have
two dollars fer every one he possessed
The bait was tempting and the fish bit
At the next landing the well dressed
man disappeared from the boat and the
dupe became alarmed He became suS-
picious of his new money and was
afraid to offer it i'll payment of his pas
sage He, too, left the boat, determined
to 20 back home He started to walk
and became footsuro He began showing
the money 10 buy something to eat, the
counterfeit was discovered and the ar
rest was made Major Butterworth took
i'll the situation,
II told that young man, he said, in
relating the story, THAT if God had
made him dishonest man he had failed
to put sign ON his face, | told him to
90 home to his wife and children as an
honest man He could scarcely realize
that he had escaped the penitentiary.
He went home, and more honest or
better citizen | do not know today
That man had not the heart of crimi-
nal, but if he had been sent to the peni-
Tertiary his children would have been
disgraced for life and probably he would
have belonged TO the criminal class for
life st. Louis Republic

Tinsel Fabrics and the More Costly Bro
cades of Gold and Silver.
Tinsel fabrics are the lower priced of
the cloths into which gold or silver
threads have been woven In tinsel fab
RIGS the gold threads are of brass or cop
per, gilded and the silver threads are
of white metal. These threads of metal,
originally fine wire, are rolled flat and
FURNISHED, and they glisten in the fabric
wherever the pattern brings them to the
surface. Tinsel fabrics are made about
three fourths Of yard in width, and
they sell at 70 cents to $2.5 yard.
They come in various colors, and many
Of them are beautiful and artistic in de-
sign. Some are copies of old Venetian
tapestries. Tinsel fabrics are used for
church and for theatrical purposes and
sometimes for gowns and for decorative
purposes.
The costlier fabrics, with interviewer
metal threads, are called gold and sill
yer brocades In these the gold threads
are of silver, gold plated, and the silver
threads are of pure silver; the body of
the fabric is of silk. The brocades are all
beautiful, and many of them are ex-
ceedingly So These fabrics are made
about five-eighths of yard in width,
and they sell at various prices up to $25
and sometimes as high as $50 yard.
The costliest of these fabrics are very
rarely imported into this country, bro
cades at $40 and $12 yard being about
tho highest priced used here. If more
elaborate fabrics are required, they are
usually imported to order. Tho finer
fabrics, with metal threads, are made
in France, tho commoner kinds i'll Ger
many.
Gold and silver brocades are here
used almost exclusively for church pur-
poses and chiefly for vestments. They
are imported i'll red, violet and green
and also in black with silver threads,
the black and silver being for mourning.
Gold and silver brocades are also used
to limited extent for decorative pur-
poses.
Such fabrics and gold embroidery,
often of the costliest description, are far
moro commonly used i'll Europe than
here, both for church and for military
purposes. York Sun.
