"Mrs. Ilowner, tliat baliy'n (-ot corns!"
exclaimed Mr. Biwser, as he hum: up his
hat.
"t'orns?"
"Yes, conn! You art as if you never
heard of corns. Put him down while I
examine his feet."
"The idea! Whoever heard of a baby
three mouths old having corns '!"
'There's a good deal in this world you
never heard of. Mm. liowscr. I'nt the
youni.''iin down."
He examined the baby's feet, pulled his
toes apart, and of course he didn't find any
conn. I knew he wouldn't.
"Then what'ia he Iiawlin" about ?'' he
persisted.
" liabies always ety more or less."
'They do, eh '.' Well, if this one doesn't
cry hs ill lind some way to make him!
I shall h' Id him rc.-ponill" from this day
out."
Our baby lias the hives, as every oilier

"What's the matter with that young
monkey now?" demanded Mr. Bjwser, as
he caught sight of i lie pimples.
"Only the hives, my dear."
"Oh! lli.veynu had the doctor?"
"Why, no. There is no need of a
doctor."
"Isn't there I Mis. Bowjcr, that may j
bj hives, and it may be small pox ! It i
looks more like the latter ill lease to me.
ll'that youiig'tm has gone uml brought I
the small pox into this lioii-a I waru him '
to look out for himself! I'm a loving i

I shall draw it at small pox. !
"Mr. Bowser" said my mother, "you I
should not get unduly excited. That

yet to go through with mca!e, chicken-

kindred di-scascs or ailments.
"lie has. eh! lie proposes to keep

years, does he? Never! Ill lug him
out this very night and lay him on some
body's doorstep !"
Baby was live months old before Mr.
Bowser suddenly discovered that he was
bald headed. He was holding the child
at the time, and he rolled him into the
crib and called me from the foot of the
stairs :
"Mrs. Bowser, for lleaveu's sake come
down here as fast as you can !"
"What is it?" I a-ked as I huriicd
down.
"Why. this infernal ymiug'un bald
headed !"
'Itth.il all.' Why. I thought yu
had dro pwl him !"
"Is that all! Isn't that enough? He
might as we'l die at on v. Think of lb '

"But his hair will com,' out, he'll have

"Oh. h i will ! Yes if In-knows what's

course I h ive got the feeling of a lather,
but sjouer than have him grow up a ha!d

One day soon afier I found b ihy'a scalp
red and irritated, uml the cook informed
me that she saw Mr, Bowser fussing
around the crib. I called bun in from
the back yard and charged him with sin
ister designs, and I know from his guilty
manners that he had been trying some of
his nostrums warranted to make, hair
grow.
On auother occasion, when I was giving
baby a bath, Mr. B iwser h ipjiened in, and
it wasn't a minute before Mr. Bowser had
made op his mind that the child's feet
were too large.
''Nonsense, Mr. iuffxer! His feet are
all riht. See how chubby and healthy
they are,"
'Yes, and gna uion their size ! 1 tell
you, h.i was cut out for a giant ! In two
years my bouts won't lit him !"
"l'shaw!"
' You may pshaw all you will, but, he's

and deadhead your way in every afternoon.

There is a eat doctor who ruus a drug
store in Washington who, it is said, is do
ing the most thriving practice of any al
leviator of the ills of the feline and canine
raees of any man in his profession in the
whole country. This physician has the
highest class of callers of any professional
man in the city, as only the most aristo
cratic can afford to have an expert wait up
on their pets. At times as many as three
or four carriages, owned by the most re
fined and wealthy people at the ualioual
capital, arc drawn up in front of the drug
store and office, and his business is so
large that customers with their patients
have to wait their turn, like men in barber-shops.
It is seldom that a man enters
the diug store for the purpose of receiving
a professional call from the doctor. Tin y
are almost invariably women.
The doctor was pliilosopiliiiiug yestir
day to some gelillcuieii on the general ails
of cuts and dogs, during which he slated
that mote trouble came I'ronia lack of fresh
air and exercise than anything else. He

Id pets were guarded so closely
ill the house, and were uot allowed to romp

"1 could name," he said, "families in
this city that guard as closely their iet
cits and dogs us they do their children.
Large numbers of them have cribs and
; cradles anil lounges made for their pets anil
! cushioned in the most comfortable mani.er
possible. At one place I visited recently
I found a tine old Maltese reclining on a
I pillow of down. When I asked for il for
the purpose of making an examination the
! holy of the houso lifted it as carefully as if
j it were a tiny baby. She had delicate
. spoons and forceps and a doche to inject
; medicine into the poor thing's ears. Thete
was a swab of silk and cotton to cleanse its
, throat, as it had had something like diph
j theria. and w hen I spoke of a severe medi
I cine as the only hope of recovery she threw
up In r bauds in that same horror mothers

Some one has written beautifully to the
boys in the following manner;
"Of all the love affairs in the world,
none can surpass the true love of the big
boy for his mother. It is pure love, and
uoble mi l honorable in the highest degree
to both. I do not mean merely a dutiful
affection, I uie.in a love which makes a
boy gallant and courteous to his mother,
saying to everybody plainly that he is
fairly ill love with In r. Next to the love
of a husband, nothing s crown a woman's
life with honor as this second love, the d
Vntiou ot a sou to her. And I uever
knew a boy 'turn out' bad who began
by falling in love with his mother. Any
man in i v fall in love with a fresh faced
girl, and the man who is gallant with the
girl may eruoliy neglect the worn and
weary wife. But the boy who is a lover
of his iua In r in her middle age is a true
knight, who will love his wife ns much in
he sere-leaved autumn as he did in the
daisied springtime."

A HUMOROUS PREACHER.
The llev. M. S. Terry, for many years
a favorite pastor in the New York M. K
Conference, but now l'roftissor of Hebrew
Theology in the Wesleyau t'nivcrsityat K
vanstoii, III., will attend the meeting ofc n
feicnee in April, and then make a trip to
Berlin, where he will dig up a few Oreek
mots and take a look at some ancient He
brew manuscripts. Pr. Terry has much
dignity of manner in the pulpit, and treats
serious matters ill a serious way; but he
dearly loves a good joke, and as dearly loves
to tell a good story. Presiding Klders are
very careful not to indulge in untimely
mirth. When they see anything funny
they store up the laughs they would have
laughed, and when a good joke comes a
long in a tood place these old laughs come
popping up like minute guns. Terry likes
to lasso a drove of these Presiding Klders
and touch them off. His Inst story is this:
A brother of the Indiana Conference, a
very estimable man and able preacher, has
an incurable habit of always annexing the
pronoun "he" to the name of any person
to whom he is alluding. This habit oven
follows him into the pulpit, sometimes with
ludicrous results. This was particularly
the case one Sunday when, before a lurge
congregation, he arose and announced his
text:
"The devil he goeth about like a roaring
lion, seeking whom he may devour."
Looking impressively over his gold-bowed
spectacles, he began:
"Brethren and sisters, my Bubjeet natu
rally divides itself into three heads: First,
who the devil he is?"
The congregation was slightly startled,
but preserved due decorum.
"Secondly, my brethren, where the dev
il he is going?"
An old class-leader put his head down
and stoned a bandanna in his mouth.
The choir shook, and a little girl in the
gallery tittered.
"Thirdly, my brethren, what the devil
he is about?"
This was too much for the congregation,
and for once their was a p -ut of laughter
in that church. The fpiarti'rly conference
discussed the matter at its next meeting,
but the pastor still sprinkles his pronouns
promiscuously.
SHAVED.
"Been to the female barber's yet," asked
reporter to a eit ileus.
"No."
' The touch of that gazelle's hand was
light, delicate and soothing. When she
laid me back in the filmy recesses of that
Oriental chair and latherert my face with
K'rfumed whipped cream and rubbed it
into my coarse face with her velvety hands,
every hair became attuned like the sighing
of an ii'diaii harp. Well, I'll admit the
razor was a little dull and my face has been
a tittle sore since, but then we must have
thorns with the rose.
"1 shall never forget the great, big,
Ireainy hazel eyes that drank iu the depths
of my confiding soul when she reached
over and pulled my right shoulder-blade
up tinder my ear and commenced rasping
my back. It's human nature lor a uian
to want his back scratched, but I said
nothing, hut sawed wood and gritted my
teeth. She pulled the wild outgrowth
fruminy nostrils, waxed myscant mustm-he
a lu Napoleon and milled my eyesbrows to
make me look gruffy and manly. Then
she tattooed me with an occasional spot of
bay rum, squirted a couple of siiuirts of
Caroline grease in my hair and rubbed my
head"
"Kh'cirie baths?"
"No. sir!"
"And then?"
"Well, then, she p iwdered m : until I
looked like a Humpiy Dmnpiv, anl iu the

Stcno-telegn phy is a system of trans
mis i.n invcutclby M. li. A. Cassagues,
of l'aris, and by ils means it is possible to
transmit a dispatch in short-hand along a
s'.ngle wire, and to print it at u distant sta
tion in stenographic characters with a rup
ipity exceeding that of any telegraphic ap
paratus now in use. The fact that a single
sign will reptcsent a syllable, which ordina
rily requires several signs for each letter,
reduces the number of electric iuipuUs
perword very greatly, olid permiisof two
hundred wolds a minute being sent hy
datid, and still more by the automatic pro
cess. Any stenographic machine may be
employed to translate the' spoken or wi it
ten words into signs, but it is the Mich la
machine which has been used liitln rto.
In this the operator sits before a keyboard
of twenty keys, and by pressing them he
produces upon a baud of paper a graphic
representation of the words he ih-sires lo
record, and from this paper they can be
read. By the aid of this machine a prac
tical operator can report at the rale of L'liO
words a luiiiuic that is faster than the
most rapid orator can speak, eighty lo 1-0
words a minute being the limits of speed
for the most grave and the ni-'st impulsive.
In a lortnight one can team to read the
printed character, while ii takes six
months' practice to become a rapid operator.
The object of M. Cassagtii's's invention
is to cause the stenographic machine to
produce this hand at a distance- it may be
ofhiiudreds of miles with the same rap
idity as it does when the paper is iu the
machine itself. To this end the keyboard
a.ud the printing mechanism arc connected
by n telegraph wire.

Every one should know thu

answer is easy and terribly
plain: Our vicious personal
lialiits; our careless and lawless
etitiiu; and ilriiikinir; the in.
tense nie'ttal nitd physical strain
arising from our mad race after

the fears and struitiles of pov

The disease from wliicli we
suffer and die is, in plain Eng
