A BabysH C~.

A moderately intimate acquaintance
with infants enables one to distin-
guish, almost from birth, three cries
the healthy yell, by which the child ex-
ercises his lungs, the fretting of mod
crate discomfort, and the acute cry OF
pain, the latter two including at first
hunger, thirst, and dissatisfaction.
By the end Of three months the nurse
or mother should be able to distin-
gulsh the fretting of actual physical
discomfort from that of restlessness,
and the sharp cry of pain from the
less acute announcement of thirst,
hunger, etc., while anger fmparts a
characteristic quality to the cry. II
the baby is comfortably dressed and
properly fed he will be less likely to be
fretful and crying.-Dr. A. L. Bene--
dict In the January Woman's Home

Great DISTANCES Covered by BIRDS.

The distances over which birds MI
crate vary between wide limits, and
are often surprisingly great. The
bobolinks, which rear their young on
the shores of Lake Winnipeg in Can
ada, and go to Cuba and Porto Rico
to spend the winter, twice traverse a
distance exceeding $500 miles, or more
than a fifth of the circumference of
our earth, each year. The kingbird
lays its eggs as far north as the fifty
seventh degree of latitude, and is
found in the winter in South America.
The biennial pilgrimages of the little
'redstar. exceed 5000 miles, and the
tiny humming bird 1000.

Louisiana Rice Is Red.

The rice planters and millers OF
Southwestern Louisiana are having
some trouble with the crop this season.
For some unaccountable reason a con-
siderable percentage OF it is red. This
is not the first season that red grains
have appeared among the white, to be
sure, but never before has the proper
ton been so large. An examination
by chemists has shown that the red
rice is equally nutritious as white.
The value of the article as matter OF
food is not in the least injured by the
red grains. But the fact remains that
the colored grains injure the sale OF
the rice they appear in.

Electricity and Foliage.

An extraordinary phenomenon has
been noticed with regard to chestnut
trees in a street in Brussels since the
installation of the electric tram cars.
The foliage begins to turn brown and
drop early in August, to bud and even
blossom again in October. The trees
on the opposite side of the tramway
behave like ordinary trees, for they
lose their foliage in the late autumn
and do not put forth fresh blossoms
until spring. Botanists are inclined
to believe that this singular state of
things is due to the leakage of the
electrical current at places under
ground acting upon the roots of the
trees, which are otherwise healthy.

a Point in Carving etiquette.

The adept carver will not ask the
guest of honor which is his or her
favorite piece. We will give the one
we would honor the cut of fish next
the tail, that nearest the head being
next choice; the emperor's muscle and
oyster of thJ turkey, with bit of
brown fat added as tribute to palate
discrimination; the tenderloin OF steak,
the hook of the leg, the tenderloin
with kidney of the saddle with some
brown fat; the loin of the hare or
squirrel, the rib of the sucking pig.
Other guests will express their pref
erence promptly when asked, that none
may be kept waiting.-Ella Morris

The Number of Our Hairs.

According ta the Medical Record,
fair-haired people possess commonly
between 100000 and 100000 hairs on
the scalp, the number being about the
same for man and woman Dark
haired people have on average los, 900,
while red-haired people are said to
have only 10000 hairs. But the latter
apparently possess one great advan-
tage in the fact that they retain their
hair better, seldom becoming bald.
Their hair is much coarser than that
of dark or fair-haired persons.

Deaf-Mutes.

Ninety-seven per cent of the Off
springs of deaf fathers and mothers
are deaf. The offspring of these deaf
persons generally possess the sense of
hearing, the average deafness being SO

accordance with two well-established
laws of heredity, viz, a physical an
,omaly tends to be transmitted to Off
spring and that the offspring of these
tends to revert to the normal type.

to an attractive young widow, he
called at her house one day and was
ushered into a room darkened to the
degree which the prevailing fashion
of those days declared to be elegant,
and before the Governor had familiar
lied himself with the surrounding OBJ
jects in the gloom the young widow
entered the room. With enthusiastic
devotion he advanced to meet her
hastily, not noticing a low stool
directly in his pathway; unhappily,
he stumbled over it and pumped upon
his knees directly at the feet of the
object of his affections. Before she
could utter word of apology or SYM
pathy the adroit Governor, seizing her
hand, exclaimed: "Madam, happy
accident has brought me where in
