The Chanseling Child.
The Scientific Explanation Of
the Change Formerly At
tributed to the Fairies.

I'm folk lore stories there Is frequent
mention Of changelings = children who
were changed by fairy influence. Some
loving wife and proud husband found
their child weak OF body, and some
times weak of mind. 1t grew up to
be fretful, suilen and perhaps spiteful.
II seemed impossible that love could
bring such a child into the world.
So the child was called fairy change
ling, child substituted by the fairies
for one whom in their envy for its lovli-
ness they had carried away.
We hear no more Of fairy stories.
Stern science says that healthy and
lovely children must have healthy par

days of waiting and anticipation Is

There is likely to be an interesting
contest among the democrats for the
vacancy in the committee on rules
caused by the election Of Mr.. Bailey,
of Texas, to the senate. Mr.. De Ar
mond, Of Missouri, can have the place
for the asking, as he would receive the
undivided support of the democrats,
but it is thought that he will decline,
as he expects that the next house will
be democratic and he desires to be
speaker. II he signifies his disinclina.
ton to take position Mr.. Underwood,
of Alabama, formerly the democratic
whip, will doubtless make contest for
it, as will also Mr.. Swanson, Of Virgin
ia. This committee is the most sought
for in the house, its powers being al
most autocratic.
