London's FoRs Arc Costly.

An ingenious but depressed London
newspaper writer estimates that a re-
cent five days fog inflicted loss of
S3,750,O00 upon the metropolis. A
British fog statistician declares that
the gloom costs London $25,OOO,OOO
every year.
1t is asserted that London burns
more than 15OOOO,0OO cubic feet of gas
on a foggy day, "enough to supply a
town of $4,000 inhabitants a whole
year. Extra electric light is consumed
to an extent equal to its ordinary use,
and oil lamps and candles are used in
extraordinary quantities" Trade suf-
fers loss from a London fog which
cannot be estimated.
The following extract from the Lon
don Express seems to have been in
spired by fog:
people are generally too depressed
to buy anything, and appetites are so
seriously affected that the restaurant
keeper loses much of his profit. Places
of entertainment are neglected, bust
ness is lost through persons failing to
keep appointments, and the course of
justice is delayed by late trains and
fog-bound cabs"
The only interests benefited by the
gloom are shareholders of the gas and
electric light companies. A foggy win
ter increases dividends 1 per cent.

Bad Memories,

Many people complain of having
bad memory, as If it were something
they could not help, like a headache,
or some similar ailment; yet even that
can be helped nowadays by the appli-
cation of little common sense. After
all, there is no reason why anybody
should have bad memory. 1t is mere
ly a matter Of training and is, more
over, matter in which it is never too
late to attend to its training. For
grown-ups many methods are advo-
Gated, all Of them, no doubt, based on
the principle of mental concentration.
In young child the faculty can be
cultivated by making the child de-
scribe everything it has seen in its
morning walk, taking care that no fact
is exaggerated, but that strict atten-
ton is paid to truth in every detail.
In the matter of memorizing it is an
excellent plan to let the child learn
one line Of poetry a day, which it
should repeat the following morning,
and at the end of a week it will be
able to say the seven lines. The young
brain should not be overloaded with
knowledge, but allowed to assimilate
a fragment each day.

Nellie Tells How Baby Came.

There's no use of your talking. for
mamma told me so,
And if there's any one that does, my
mamma ought to know;
For she has been to Europe, and seen
the Pope of Rome,
Though she says that was before came
to live with her at home.
You see, we had no baby, unless you
call me one,
And / have grown so big you know,
'twould have to be in fun.
When l went to see grandma, about
two weeks ago,
And now we've one, little one, that
sQuirms and wriggles 80.
And mamma says an angel came down
from heaven above,
And brought this baby to her, for she
and me to love;
And its got the cunningest Of feet, as
little as can be,
And smiling eyes, and curly hair, and
hands you scarce can see.
And then it never cries a bit, like some
bad babies do;
And papa says it looks like mel don't
think so, do you?
For I'm a girl, and it's boy, and boys
/ can't endure,
Unless they're babies like our own,
they'll plague and tease you sure.
But you say the angel didn't come, now
you just tell me why;
The Bible says there's angels in heaven,
and that's the sky;
And Christ loves little babies, and God
makes everything,
And if the angel didn't who did our
baby bring?
You can't tell; no guess you can't, but
mamma ought to know,
For it's her baby, hers and ours, and
mamma told me so;
And they don't make any cunning things
like him on earth, you see;
For no wax doll, with real hair, is half
SO nice as he.

think one brought me, too.
Though l don't just now remember, and
so can't tell, can you?
But mamma knows, and this l know, the
baby wasn't home
When l went away, and now he is; il
you want to see him, come.
For mamma says if I am good I can
kiss him every day,
And we'll kiss him now, and then &c,
out and have a nice long play;
And if anybody asks you how babies
come and go,
Why, tell them it's the angels, for
mamma told me so.
