The Korean Nursery.


 In Korea, as in other countries. the care of children demands much of the mothers time, though we have to admit that the proportion thus exc1u- stvely spent is less than in the West.
 Immediately after birth the Korean child is rubbed all over with oil, then wrapped in thfckIy wadded swaddling clothes. The mother returns to her work from three to ten days later, again taking up the ordinary routine of the household as though nothing unusual had occurred.
 j When the baby won't keep quiet in it's place, which is on a, quiH spread upon the hot stone floor, it is strapped upon it's mothers back. This proce- dure in no way flinders her from car rying out the vigorous exercise of pounding rice, laundry work, sewing, or whatever else she may have to do, nor does the little burden on her back cause her to smoke fewer pipes full or tobacco.
 When the Korean baby is well car ed for, it is as chubby and jolly as the baby of western lands. It looks at you from the depths of great lustrous black eyes, and it seems that it could do almost anything but speak Eng fish. If you get a back view you will notice a great diagnostfc differ ence between the Korean child and the Occidental The back of the head is frequently undeveIoped and is as flat as a board. This and some stray peculiarities in the language have formed the foundation of the theory. propounded by some. that the rieines of North America The main point in favor of this argument is that it is as hard to confute as to prove.

 BEING WATCHED
Detectives ViSitSaIoOnS Trainmen Frequent
 and Number Drinks

Since the wreck at Stamford, rail- load detectives are said to be keeping La close watch on the employees of the New Haven road, especially those Railroad men who drink. Therefore Those train hands who take drink occasionally are very cautious about -beinz seen in saloons and especially tn saloons that are near the railroad Yards It Is said that the railroad spoIicemen of late have been fre- t1uenting the saloons where railroad .In consequence the railroad men avoid these places and the saloon Keepers are tpeeved-"
 One saloon keeper said yesterday: 7 A number of railroad men are my customers but, they rarely come in on kheir way to work. Most of them stop on their way home after finish Ing their runss have a drink or two end then go on. I can't say that I have ever seen one of these men the worse for Hquor- Now, however, since they have discovered that they are likely to meet a railroad police man or two in my place they don't stop any more."
 It is reported that freight con ductor who lives in East Hartford and who has been in the employ of the New Haven road for twenty-five years received his -'bIue ticket the other day because he frequented saloons too often. No one had ever seen the man under the influence of liquor but on one of his visits to a saloon, the railroad policeman took his picture with a kodak camera This picture was produced when the man was brought lon the carpet by the off cials Of the company before he was discharged
