HABITS OF SPEECH.
Faulty Language Used i'm Child hood Is Hard to Correct i'm
 After Life.

''Why do educated parents allow their children to contract habits of un- grammatical speech that will have to be conquered in after-life?" asked a spin ster of another
 Because they hate to worry the poor little things about such matters when they are young and should be care free. It seems cruel to be all the time cor recting them and keeping them on their good behavior. They will have to learn the rules of our dreadful language all too soon as it is."
 ''Yes," said the spinster, land In ad- dition to learning to speak properly they will have to unlearn the tricks of speech in which they have been allowed ts indulge all their little lives. Iknow," laughing, 'that there is much ridicule of old maids children but believe that my theory in this case is correct. It is positive unkindness to let your child double his negatives and say 'ain't.' when several years from now he will be harshly reproved for such lapses. The child must learn to talk. anyway, and is it not as easy to teach him to say It is l. as It's mel? And is it not as simple for the little tongue to lisp I saw it, as I seen itY Hove baby talk, and should not correct child for his mispronunciation of hard words As he grows older he will himself see his mistakes in that line and change them. But insist that it is parents duty to make the difficult path to gram never allowing the little ones to stray from it in the beginning. ."-Harper'a BaZar

Some Mexican Laws.

A Topeka man who recently toured Mexico tells that they have some very curious criminal laws down there. For example, the statutes make it twice as much of an offense to mutilate the face of woman as that of a man. While in the City of Mexico he attended court one day and saw man sentenced to one year in prison for cutting his para Inour across the face with knife. 1T his victim had been a man the sentence would not have been more than four months at the outside. The law seems to be based on the idea that a woman's 5 best possession is her beauty and that to mar it does her great injury. There
 is another curious law. If a person should be wounded in an encounter the punishment to the offender is fixed by the number of days his victim has to stay in the hospital or under doctors care A line is fixed at 40 days in the way of a general division. If the in- jured man occupies more than 40 days in his recovery the penalty doubles up. As we understand the Topeka man these are not court customs, but statu- tory enactmehts.-Kan City Jour nal.

BATTERED BUT CHEERFUL.
A Little Negro Patient at . New York Hospital Ma kes the Doc
 tors Laugh.

Mirth and misery commingle oddly at times to tighten the burden of wretchedness and woe which is the lot of the unfortunates who are inmates of the city's great hospitals. A score of wan-faced sufferers were distributed among the neat white cots of a medical ward in Bellevue one day when a new patient was brought in. He was . diminutive colored man, short, squat, thiek-set, black as ebony, with heavy protruding lips and bullet-shaped head sparsely sprinkled with kinky gray black hair. He said he was George Smith, B years old, and was born in ''Loudon county, Virginy, sah." All was quiet in the ward save an occasion al groan from some weary sufferer, when the doctors, four of them. grave faced and dignified, came to examine the new arrival.
 Well, George, how do you feel? asked the house physician, bending over the cot.
 The little darley looked at the doctors asAance for moment, rolled his big eyes around, and said mournfully:
 ''I'se hungry"
 Have you any pain?" asked the doc tor.
 "No, sah, 'ceptin' I'se hungry"
 Then the doctors proceeded to make the usual examination. In the middle of his back they found criss-cross cicatrix.
 "How did you get this?" the doctor asked.
 "Cow-bunkle," replied the patient, tersely.
 "Whar's .his?" continued the inquis- itor, placing his finger on big depres- sion in the calf of the patients leg.
 'Dorg chawed it," said Smith, apa- thetically.
 A smile fitted across the faces of the doctors and patient in the next cot forgot to moan. Next the physician found mass of irregular scars, which looked as if an eight-inch shell had exploded and left it's marks upon the patients face and neck.
 "Explosion?" queried the doctor, pointing to the spot.
 "Mewl kicked me-" sa*' Smith with a you-make-me-tired air.
 Even the grave equanimity of ths men of medicine was disturbed, and pa tients in adjacent cots laughed out right. Further examination showed a network of scars on his face and neck resembling the tracks in the New York Central freight yards.
 .'Razer fite," was Smiths explana- tion.
 And where did you get these?" said the doctor, with an amused smile, lay ing his fingers on three big welts on the negro's scalp.
 "Cakewalk Kin hev chaw uv ter baker?" he went on, and the ward was in an outburst of laughter.-N. Y. Sun.

 If you wish to make fountain pen, take two ordinary steel pens of the same pattern and insert them in the common holder. The inner pen will be the writing pen. Between this and the outer pen will be held supply of ink. when they are once dipped into the ink stand, that will last to write several pages of manuscript. It Is not neces- safy that the points of the two pens should be very near together, but if the flow of ink is not rapid enough the points may be brought nearer by bit of thread or a minute rubber band.

It continues:
 Emperor Nicholas was informed of the character of the workmen's move ment and of the peaceful intentions of his subjects. the innocent victims killed by the soldiers. but notwith- standing this knowledge he allowed them to be massacred. We, therefore. acuse him also of having caused the killing of people who in nowise pro voked such measures"
 The document concludes:
 We declare that such an order of things cannot longer be tolerated, and call on all citizens of Russia to enser into an immediate and relentless uni versal struggle with the sutocracy."

Steam Launch Mercedes,

The handsome steam launch Mercedes, be-
longing to the War Departments feet on
the Potomac, has been out of service in her
dock at the old harbor Office wharf for over
year past, with no one to look after her,
but 1t is now probable that she will again be
put to work. 1t Is stated that an effort is
being made to have the launch assigned to
service at Fort Washington a tender to
the army post there, and if the assignment
is made the little craft will be put in service
as dispatch boat between this city and
the fort. AS she Is quite fast she is par
ticularly adapted TO this service. The
launch was formerly used by Gen. Corbin
and other officials of the War Department
for trips on the river, but about a year ago
II placed out of commission and her
crew discharged. Since then she has been
neglected in her dock and has become dingy
and dirty, unlike her former bright trim
condition. To put the launch in service at
Fort Washington would benefit 1t, and keep
it from going to decay. The Mercedes was
one of the launches of the Spanish cruiser
Reina Mercedes, and was captured when
that vessel was taken at Santiago.
