A WONDERSON DISCOVERY
NO MilllK WILL TUB HKAD OP TIIK

There is a certain street in a certain
i lly, whoso name shall be nameless, that
beasts of the lamest population of babies.
to the sijuare fuot of any other street in
the city aforesaid. A denizen of the
street in question approached a newspa
per man some time ago and in a half em
barrassed sort of way said; ' l have
made a discovery which 1 think of sulli
eieiit importance to pun iu print,"
What is it? asked the scribe.
''Do you knew anything about babies?
asked the inventor.
The setibed repliid that his experi
ence was not so numerous as that ef some
of the denizens of the nameless street in
question, though he had during his life
been associated with at least one bald
headed infant.
' Does your baby ever cry?" asked
the youug marrie d man.
Aud the scribe confessed that his babe
did ninictiuics indulge in violent exercise
of the lungs and vocal organs.
"And does it ever keep you awake at
uight?"
This sounded like unpardonable pry
ing into the sacred secrets of domestic
life, but the man was so earnest that the
scribe forgave the seeming impertinence
and uduiitlcd that oft in the silly night
he had dreamed ol sawmills and Thomas
concerts and the noise of street ear Xo.
7, and had finally awaked to find that
the interruption proceeded from the
little ciib at the southwest comer of the
bed.
"Then," continued the discoverer, who
by this time had become somewhat ex
cited, "you will be greatly interested in
what I out about to tell you, for I have
found on the head of my baby a soporific
bump."
"A soporific bump?" asked the scribe
in am:ii 'Uicnt.
"Exactly," was the answer. "This
bump is not designated in the books of
phleiioh'gy, Lut nevertheless I have
found it. It lies on the windward side
of the skull, is about the size of an elec
tric bell knob, and when I press my fin
ger upon it, no matter how violent are
the child's paroxysm, he drops into a
sweet slumber aud all is peace and quiet
in the family. Why, sir, it is the great
en: disiovery of the age. It promises
sweet surcease from sorrow, it fortells the
loom of paregoric and soothing syrup, it
uarantees sleep, the innocent sleep, not
uiy to the dear cunning, vicious little
baby, but also to the parents thereof.
Xo more will the head of the family
prowl around in the dark looking for
ni itches and children cry for their syrups,
flatten tloir nose's o:i the edge of the door
and turn uiiduight somersault over the
old arm chair. Rejoice with luc, my
Vllow sufferer, for the day of our dcliv.
erancc is at hand."
And as he went joyously out of the
Bice, the scribe heard him siug:
When the baby wakes up in the middle
o! the night,
There's no place like home.
And you huut li I paregoric without any
ight.
There's no place like home.
And while you're doing the pri menade
act
And your foot comes down on an up
turned tack
With your wife's cold feet in the middle
ot your Lack,
There's no place like home.

STILl AFTER MARY'S GOAT.
Mary had a little lamb, its fleece was
white as snow; it strayed away one sum

Then Mary sat her down and tears
streamed from her eyes; she never fouud

And Mary had a brother John, who
kept a village store; he sat down and
smoked his pipe and watched the open
door. And as the people passed along
and did not atop to buy, Jobu still sat

TO BUILD HOUSES OF SUGAR.
CI.AI S SI'UKCKKI.S HAS AN INVENTION
AND WANTS Til TltY IT ON TIIK
WIIH'K 1IOISH.
WulllllJ,'l'(U l'ot.
Astounding discoveries tread upon
each other's heels, but the latest alleged
invention in that line has just been dis
closed by Dr, Oeorge 0. (ilavis, of this
city, who is well knowu as a lawyer and
the representative of the North German
I.luj d Steamship line. He has just re
turned from Europe aud crossed the At
laulie with Claus Sprcckcls, the Hawai
ian sugar king.
Dr. (ilavis states that he has in his
hands Mr. Kprcckol's application for a
patent on a jroccss for producing build
stones artificially, the basis being nothing
more or less than sugar. In short the
architect of the future will design houses
out of a material more beautiful than any
thing it is now possible to use for build
ing purposes, mid that material will be
sugar.
The dhcovcry is one made by Mr.
Spreckels, and the process is similar to
that by which gelatine is hardened. It
has long been a practice among engravers
to take a copy oil a plate of gelatine, and
harden it until it becomes like steel. It
is proposed to accomplish something of a
similar result with sugar.
The claim is made that a material can
bo artificially produced clu-upcr than
any good grade of building stone, which
is harder than granite, impervious to
moisture and unaffected by heat, whiter
aud more beautiful than marble, aud
which will stand a crushing weight that
would make powder out of granite.
Dr. Glavis says that his distinguished
client will demonstrate the utility of his
invention iu a practical way if permitted,
lie will give bonds to construct the pro
posed new wings of the white house out
of sugar blocks, and will forfeit the
bonds if the material is not more weather-proof
than brick, mure beautiful than
marble, more durable than granite, and
better iu every respect than any build
ing stone now known. As to cheapness,
it is less costly than any other building
material suitable for the same purposes.
A GENTLE HINT.
Giorge was a bashful lover. 11
scarcely dared to touch his lady's hand.
lie loved her Well and she was worthy of
his aHeetiou. for she was modest, intelli
gent, sweet, and lovable; but like all good
women, she yearned for tho respectful
caresses that are the evidences of a pure
affection. She however yearned in vain.
George worshipped her. He might kiss
the hem of her garment, but to kiss her
lips ur check, the very audacity of the
thought made him tremble.
They sat together by the sea looking
out upon the track of the moon's light
which while winged yachts were cross
ing now and then '.
"It wus a h itc-liiiiK hu'ir, a set-lie
For lore nml culm delight "
Suddenly she moved slightly away
from him.
"Please, George, don't do that," she
said :
"What ?" he asked iu genuine sur
prise. "Oh 1 you needu't tell me," she re
plied. "You were just going to put
your arm around my waist, and were
going to try and kiss me."
"Dear Arabella "
"Oh! you needn't tell me no; you
were going to do it. Well, after all, I
suppose you are not to blame. It is just
what a lover would do to his sweetheart,
and I suppose I must not be offended if
you do it."
And George grasped the situation and
did exactly what Arabella supposed he
would do, aud the moon grinned aud
tho stars winked and the wavelets laughed
and a mosquito that was about to alight
oa the maiden's check flew away aud set
tied on the nose of a grass widow win
was sitting near the band stand.

OBJECTIONABLE TRAINS.
SO.MKOK TUB Rt:.N VtllM'lt RAILROAD
KNdlNKKRS DO NOT I.IKE.
Athtnhi ('unMituliun: Said an old
railway engineer the other day: "There
are three kinds of trains that I do not
want to have anything to do with. One
is the pay train. You never know when
you will overtake the section hands.
You will be going the rate of forty miles
an hour; away you go around a curve
aud you will da.-li by the boss und hands
and have to go hack to them. There is
always a good deal of talk over the wages
and much time is taken up.
'The most unpleasant train to handle
is an excursion tram, r.veiyonu living
long the line knows you from seeing
you come by every day, and they think
you know them as well. When on au
excursion they presume upon their
friendship to endeavor to ride on the en
gine. ro other place will do tliciu.
The engineer has to refuse them, as it
would amount to docking his wages
from thirty to sixty days if he complied,
positively against the rules of the road.
The persons denied the privilege always
feel hard about it, and look upon the en
gineer as unaecouiniodatiiig. The last
aod worst of all, however, is the officer's
train. If you run slow they say you are
scared and fear to run fast. If you make
good time tluy say you are careless and
reckless and want to kill somebody. You
can't suit them."
WHAT A WOMAN CAN DO.
She can come to a conclusion without
the slightest trouble of reasoning on it,
and no sane man can do that.
Six of them can talk at once and get
along first-rate, and no two men can do
that.
She can safely stick fifty pius in he r
drefs while he is getting one under his
thumb nail.
She is cool as a cucumber in half a
dozen tight dresses and skirts, while a
man will sweat and fume und growl in
one loose shirt.
She can talk us sweet as peaches and
cream to the woman she hates, while two
men would be puuehiug each other's
head before they had exchanged ten
words.
She can throw a stone with a curve,
that would be a fortune to a base-ball
pitcher.
She can say "no" in such a low voice
that it means "ves."
She can sharpcu a lead pencil if you
give plenty of time and plenty of pencils.
She can d mee all night in a pair of
shoes two sizes too small for her, aud en
joy every minute of the time.
She can appreciate a kiss from her
husband 75 years after the marriage cer
emony is performed.
She can go to church and afterward
tell you what every woman in the con
gregation had ou, and in souu rare iu
tinces can ji e you some faiut idej i

She can walk half the night with a
colicky baby in her anus without once
expressing the desire of murdering the
infant.
She can drive a man crazy for Z
hours, and then bring him to paradise
in two secouds by simply tickling hiiu
under the chin, aud there does not I've

Many pairs of eyes have opened very
wide in amazement at the sight of a
black-eyed aud bright faced young wo
man in the engine-rooin of the steamer
Ocean City which plys on Great Egg
Harbor Hay, between hong Port, Ocean
City and Somers Point, X. J., and when
passengers see the ens.! and familiarity
with which she handles the wheels and
levers of the engine they hold their
breath for a lew sicouds to see what
stranger thing can happen. Hut until
ing; alarming does happen. The young
lady is Mrs. Nora Ruck, and she makes
as efficient an assistant to her husband,
the engineer of the Ocean City, as any
man, who could be put in her place.
She is skilled in the management of the
machinery, and presides over the engine
room with perfect confidence aud com
placeucy. Mrs. ISuck is a granddaughter of Com
modore Lavelctte, aud the daughter of
the founder of lavelctte City, N. J.

novelty of her position iu the engine

SHORTEST NAMES IN THE WORLD.
Vllllltl's i:ollllllllirl.
Not long ag ) a man went into a French
village to register, as it in required by
the French law, the name of his newly
born child. "What's the name'?" the
clerk asked him.
"Rose li."
"How do you spell it?"
"II."
"What? Is it lice, or Bey, or Ilea?
You must have some other letters to go
with your R."
"Not at all, sir. The uame is just 1!,
no more.
The clerk was puzzled. It seemed
to him quite lidieiluus to inscribe a per
son by the name of It. The man in
sisted, however, that the re were no other
letters with it, aud never had beeu. He
referred the clerk to ol her records con
taining the family name, and it was
fouuel to be the ease that the family had
always goue by the name of II.
The R family name is, perhaps, the
shortest family uame iu the woriel ex
cepting, no doubt, the I family, which is
a pre tty large one.
There is iu Northern Fi'.iuce, tu ire-
over, a village which has an exeiv liiuly
hurt nauie. It is the little commune of
Y, iu the department of the Souiuie,
whose -ill I inhabitants are uever called
upon to lose much time in the dating
of their letters, and who probably could
not be induced to exchange the name of
their towu feir Coiistaiitiuoplu or Copen
hagen, or even for Kalamazoo or Indian-
polis.
A CALF WITH A MONKEY'S FACE.
Adam Sell, a farmer of Schuyler coun
ty, Ills., is the possessor of a curiosity in
the way of a newly born calf of marvel
ous form aud figure. The animal is only
half the ordinary size, and its hide is en
tirely destitute of hair, the skin being of
pink eolol aud smooth as the back of a
Mexican dog. Instead of having hoofs
like other animals of its kiud, its feet arc
formed of live disliuet toes that have
claws at the end like those of a cat. Thi
creature's ears are exceedingly small in
fact, hardly visible. The face resembles
that of a monkey; and from the lower
jaw projects two tangs, i he animal Is
extremely intelligent, and follows its
owner about the lot, ami gives every
evidcuce of affection. I'tiable to bawl
like an itdiuary calf, yet it is able to

HAND'S UKAlTK.UIANl'K.
A Brooklyn special says: On Wed
nesday Mrs. Gustavo Knglc, of li.'l- Mail-
jcr street, nulled wildly into the Mxtli
precinct station house and tolel Serreaut
Kilze r that she wantiil au officer sent
around to hi r house to arrest the ghost
of lot husband. The sergeant finally
got her cal d down sullii'ieiilly to relate
the following story : "I was engaged in
my household duties, when n man enter
ed and spoke to mo. I turned and
screamed. The man was uiy husband,
who committed suicide last June." The
cx ceii'pse look a chair and looke'd admir
ingly around the room. "Why are you
here?" Mrs. Englc cried. "I buried
you two uioulhs ago. For heaven's sake,
get out of here." Engle smilingly de
clined to have, and his wile rushed out
for assistance. She was told at the po
lice statiou that the police could do Uolh
ing fur lie-r. that they could uot arrest
her husband for his apparent resurrec
tion. It appears that "the ghost" disappeared
from his home on J uue LIT, leaving his
wife aud lour childre n behind. Pre
vious tu his disappearance he had been
out of work for some time, aud hud been
feeling despondent. Ou Juue ;ill the
body of u drowned man was found in
Newlowu creek. The remains were re
moved to the morgue, and Mrs. ivigle
seut for to identify the corpse. She was
sure it was the body of her husbaud.
Au inquest was held and a verdict of
suicide rendered. The bereaved "widow"
had the remains properly buried. At
the time Engle disappeared his life was
insured in the Prudential Life Insurance
company for il'M, which was promptly
paid to the widow. Mrs. Engle is still
undecided whether to receive her bus-
baud back with open arms or uot.

Several weeks ago a number of brave
