Returned the Wrong Child.

An extraordinary incident has come
to light regarding one of the Liver
pool corporation hospitals for infec-
tious diseases. A grocer had two chill
dren down with scarlet fever, girl,
aged five, and boy of two. They were
removed to the infectious hospital, and
in due time the parents were notified
that they had recovered and might go
home again. When the mother attend
ed at the hospital baby well wrapped
up in shawls was handed to her. On
getting home and examining the child
more closely the mother began to
doubt that it was her own. The father
and the other children also declared
that the wrong baby had been brought
home. The child was thereupon taken
back to the hospital, where the father
demanded his own offspring. At first
he was assured that the right child haf
been handed over, but his persistent
denial caused search of the hospital,
when the proper infant was found.

What They Eat.

j. III. Bell, state analytical clerk,
presents schedule of the figures
paid for various items of clothing and
provisions by the eleven penal and
charitable institutions of the state.
The compilation of this information
was provided for by the last legisla-
ture. The table completed by Mr..
Bell covers the quarter ending Jan.
81, 1900. In the one item of coffee
there is the highest range between
the maximum and minimum price
paid. st. Peter, hospital purchased
5,481 pounds at IL cents, while the
Soldiers Home paid 10 cents for a
large quantity. OF course, coffee is
one of the principal items of rations
with old soldiers, and it is not surpris-
ing that superior quality should be
provided for them. The state training
school, at Red Wing, pays little over
9 cents pound. The Rochester asy-
lum, however secures it's coffee for
less money than any other institution,

War and Dyspepsia.

One of the good effects of war is that
it cures the worst forms of dyspepsia.
Many officers who are the despair of
their medical attendants while spend
ing their days between the club and the
barracks, come home from a campaign
with a stomach like the ostricb's. This,
of course, arises from the exe1 else, the
open-air life, the constant mental en-
ployment, and very often the short
commons. Another good effect is the
rather strange one that war cures
nervousness of the ordinary kind, as
well as headaches and neuralgia. In
fact, if man has any kind of health at
the start, nothing braces him up like
an exciting campaign. But, on the
other hand, if any of his organs are
really weak he runs every chance of
leaving his bones in foreign parts
