Whoever happens to inhale the dust raised by a

in some respects, been blessing, in other re-
spects it has been very serious calamity.
THE CHILD MOTHERS.
One thing which one notices about the lit
tie children of the poor is the rapidty with
which they mature. For instance it is no un-
common sight to see little tot Of six or seven
giving mothers care to baby of three. The
older child struts Importantly along down the
street with the baby cinging confdingly to her
hand she stops at a store and buys two cents
worth of milk with the air of princess royal;
then she struts back again, reaches her own
"stoop," takes the baby under his arms, and
lifts him up the steps. She stageers beneath
his weight, but she gets him up all right and
with the dignity of a grandmother disappears
with him inside the narrow vestibue.
She is nothing but a baby herself, but the
care of the younger child has given her sense
of responsibility entirely out of keeping with
her years.
It is not only the little girls who display this
prematurity; the little boys also have it, 1 have
seen little boys in the sums who were as care
full of their little brothers their mothers could
have been. They have helped them in and out
Of cars, hoisted them up to seats, fixed their
clothes with little nervous, socitous fingers,
and altogether displayed the Unsuitable interest
that only mother is capable of.
Once, in the case Of younger brother who
was a cripple, the solictude of the elder was
really touching. In this case the face of the
younger brother was actually kept clean, and
this is lot to say for child of the poorer class.
The faces of these children are almost always
thick with grimy dirt, and what clothes they
have generally ragged and filthy; but they
have such trick of smiling at you that you
cannot help loving them
They are not at all pretty to look at, and the
language of the boys is often not at all edifying
to listen to; but the little children of the poor
are to be admired as well as pitied, and from
these two elements love springs.

acquainted with the little children o
the poor.
One little tot has interested me especially. He
is probably not two years old; he generally has
very little on, and his face covered with streaka
Of grimy dirt, looks as If it was never washed
He looks almost as dissipated as his mother
whose stout slovenly form fills up the entire
width of the narrow doorway Her face is bloat,
ed her nose is large, red and shapeless, and her
squirting eyes have the dull expression of the
confirmed drunkard. A bottle is distinctly Wis
ible behind her in the doorway
Yet she cannot be wholly bad, for dog al
ways sits cudded up close against her skirts.
The dogs eyes also have the dissipated look Of
the rest of the family.
The baby sits on the step below. He never
smiles nor plays, but gazes at the passers-by
with the solemn stare of grandfather, and with
an expression that is reproduction in mina-
ture of his mothers. This child have not dared
to become acquainted with, for if / allow my
self to look too long at any member of the fam
ily the mother glares at me so that I get afraid
and have to look away
This child's life is not hard at present; his
mother must be kind in spite of her vice. for
the dog is fond of her; but what atmosphere
is he being brought up in And with what ma
terials is his character being formed!
The other little children that l have met have
gradually gotten to be speaking terms with
me. but have not been able to become in
timately acquainted with the home life of any
of them as have in the case of this first little
tot.
The poverty of these children is, of course,
self-evident In winter and in summer alike
they are always lightly clad In winter they
go to school shivering, with neither hats nor
coats, and often, one imagines, with very little
on besides that which is visible; and they al
ways seem to be in a hurry to get inside the
