The rar was rather orowilfiil, but n'.irthe further end sat a lady, who, together with hr baby anil various boxes ami parcels, occupied two seats, f-aid seats being turned so that they faced ea'.'h other. On perceiving .Mrs. Isrown looking; around with an air of perplexity, and taking especial notii of the animated bundle, that was the exact counterpart of her own, this lady, whoso name was also Drown, moved tho parcels on the opposite scat, so as to make room for her, a courtesy that Mrs. ISrown mini ber one smilingly acknowlcd ged as fdie seated herself. The two babie-i were evidently about the same uge, anil attired in long clonks of the same color and texture. For the purpose of challenging tho admiration of the other, and taking mental notes, tho two mothers care fully uncovered the heads of their re spective treasures. The littlo creatures laughed and cooed at each other in their baby fiish lon, while each mother looked smil ingly on her own, and then at each other. With this bond of sympathy be. tvveon them the two began to converse, naturally entering up .n the apparent ly inevhaus ive held of their maternal cares and duties. Mrs. Ilrown number one volunteered the information that she was going on a visit to her folks who had never seen "baby," enlarging enthusiastical ly on the ple.isuro that "grandpa." "grandma." ita "aunties" and "I'uclo Hob" would experience on beholding the sweet little cherub. In return Mrs. ISrown number two remarked the fact tint she was just returning from a visit to "her folks, ' and that she expected h-r husband to meet her a few stations beyond. Mih dilated rapturously on his again seeing "baby," from whom bo ha. I separated nearly three weeks, growing eloquent on tho subject of tho marvelous changes and improve ments which had taken place during Una time in that most remarkable child. In the meantime the baby fell asleep, and by the two ladies sitting together a couch for both was improvished on opposite seat. jsoth time and cars sped swiftly, and Mrs. Brown number one was in the midst of an interesting recital of the time that baby nearly died with tho croup, when the conductor shouted: "Sterling Centre !" With an ejaculation of surprise she sprang to her feet, and taking up one of the blue bundles, hurried out She found Hob on tho platform waiting for her. As he helped her Into the cutter he offered to take "baby," but the air was keen and l'rosty, and Mrs. Brown pre ferred to keep it under her warm cloak. P X whan the reached the house she suriendered the blue bundle to thj happy and laughing group tht gattl f i-aerlj ar ud her, Chilled by her long ride, Mrs. JJrown was glad to draw near the blazing lire, upon which ISoli had heaped fresh fuel. Then there was tho nice hot supper, for which her long fast had given her a keen appetite, and which was pro longed by the numberless questions that had to be asked and answered. Ill tho meantime, "baby" had been carried to "grandma's ro.nn" baby's great-gradma to be duly admired and commented on. It now- made its appearacn in the arms of tho old lady, surrounded by a bevy of admiring aunts. 'La, child! I thought you wrote ,twas a boy?" "And so it is, grandma," said Mrs. ISrown, from whom "baby" was hid den by the faces that surrounded, 'I'hebo .lane! what air you talk i 11' about V" exclaimed the indignant old lady. "Do you think that I have raise I fourtten of '.mh an' never lost one, and don't know a buy from a gal baby ?" Hero the aslonishe I mother caughl a glimpse of the liMle creature who. clad in her night dress, was staring ; wor.deringly around. With a sudden screech, she sprang to her feet. "Mercy on Us! I tool the wrong babv!" It was some time before Mrs Brovn's J excitement and agitation would allow j Jit r to give a coherent and intelligible. explanation of these myslerioiis words.

So all he could d uas ! to telegraph to the different st.itunis : bevond, and to "baby's" lather. I As might bo expected, the poor mother was nearly 1 1 antic, and would have been quite so bad il not been for ! the consoling idea, earnestly dwelt 1 upon by her sympathising friends : "that the lady must have found nut the mistake ere this, and was probably as anxious to u:t her baby back as she I was to get hers." The early umniing train brought j Mr. Brown, if less agitated, quite as i much distressed at heart, as hii wife. After a hasty onsultalion. ti,e two j determined to take the baby and start out in the same direction taken by the ; strange lady. Imping tolind sumo clew j to her name and whereabouts. When they reached the station the i train wanted some niinntei ol being i due. I Mrs. Brown went into the "Ladies' j Booin," but her husband ir inainod out- j sub; walking restlessly up and down I the platform. j At the further end a man was , standing talking to a lady in a car- ; riage. whose dress only was visible. ' As he regarded him more a'teutive- ! ly he sprang forward. ; "Why, Cousin John, is this really you?" j The sober face of the man addressed j brightened into a .-nnlo as ho turned j round. i "How do you do. Cousin W Yd i" he; responded, with a hearty shake of tho hand. "1 diitn't know you lived in I Sterling?" "I don't. My wile's people live j heie; and she is here on a visit. I though you lived in Boston?" j "so I do," replied Mr. John Blown, j his countenance sobering, as ho recol- ' looted the errand that brought him j there. "But the oddest, most mi fort- unate thing that has happened. We have lost our baby! .My wife lost it I on the liaiu yesterday --" j Here the lady in tho carriage, who had a blue bundle in her arms, thrust her head forward. Just then Mrs. Brown inado her ap pearance on the pl.it torin, shu also having a blue bundle. Th re was a siiniiltaiieou' recogni tion. Tim two mothers rushed to ward each other, and in llm twinkling id' an eye the blue bundles changed hands. This vv.u followed by an outburst of joy, ejaculations .t el endearments from both parlies, and which was li nally broken upon by the two cousins, who, joining in a laugh of mingled re lief and merriment at the turn affairs had taken, now stepped forward to in troduce their respective wives. The result was that Mr. and Mrs. John Brown went home w ith their newly-discovered cousins, where they spent the day, a visit, which was none the less happy because of the fright and trouble from which it so curiously sprang. .

An interesting report is given of the experiments made by Dr. Albrecht, on consumptive patients in a hosjiital at Berne, Switzerland. These experi ments were made with a view I o ascer taining the effect of oxygen inhalation upon tho development of phthisis, and whether, by increasing the rato of or ganic combustion by this means, the bacterium of phthisis had been dis charged with certainty on several oc casions. The patients were first sub mitted to an appropriate highly nutri tious diet, consisting of milk and pep tone, and twice a week they were weighed with great care. It was ob served that, as soon as the oxygen in habit ions began, tho daily loss of weight was checked, and in some eases tho weight increased, dyspmea dimin ished, and the microscope showed fewer bacteria. Tin t In l' nl Oil- liifmil. In no detail of nursery routine is a "knack'' more serv iceable than in feed ing. This is especially true during the first days of weaning time, when the mother's anxiety over a refusal even to taste the novel food in the imvel way is apt to be at the most dis tressing point. What often passes for dist.i.-le, or even lack of appetite, may be only a momentary whim easily overcome by a little judicious porsua sion, perhaps under cover of some little ruse or a temporary diversion of tho attention, during which tho feeding may bo accomplished in a mechanii al way. An attempt to force a child to eat against his will, even when obvi ously in need of nourishment, may do more than fail of ns purpose: it may provoke a rebellious spint and create an aversion not only to the particular food administered, but to any other that may be next offered, which would under ether circumstances be entirely acceptable to the fastidious little one. This repeated refusal ad Is anxiety to anxi"ly, the fact being overlooked that it is abnormal and might easily have been averted. Moreover, v.ecan not tell to what extent our own feel ings at such a time react, in spite of ourselves, on the babv; but react they often do, and only add complication to our troubles. ;' hint I.

Nine times in ten the cnu-n is in the fact that the stomach was not able to digest the food last introduced into it, either from its having been unsuitable or excessive in quantity. A diet of bread and butter, with ripe fruit or berries, with moderate ami continuous exercise in the open air siiilicient to keep up a gentle perspiration, would cure almost every case in a short time. Two tcaspnonful.1 of powdered char coal in a half glass of water, and drank often, gives instant relief.

They have been mostly connected with Biblical matters, mid intended to further partv interests. It is said that Field, a printer of the time of Charles I., was paid .'.'l,.'iini by the Independ ents to alter a single letter in the third verso of Acts ti. so to make the word "we" read "ve," and so give the light of appointing pastors to the peo ple, and not to the apostles. Th well- known "Vinegar Bible" was published in 1 7 1 7. and obtains its n.mm from the I'arablu of the Vineyard being printed as tho I'arahleof th.1 Vinegar. One of tho most wilful alterations of the text and one whi h cost its perpe trator her life was committed by tho widow of a Oeri'Mn printer. One night, while an edition of the Bible was being printed in her house, she took the opportunity of altering tho word Ilerr into Xarr, making the verse read: "he shall be thy fool," in stead of "he shall be thy lord." Tho celebrated Bibles of Sixtus V. are eagerly .sought for by all collectors. Their sole fame Is the multitude of errata which crowd their pages not withstanding that his Holiness Sixtus A, carefully superintended every sheet as it passed through the press, and finally prefixed to tho first edition a bull forbidding any alteration in tho text.- Chnmbers Jomnal.

He stood nearly six fi dill his boots, and his regular features and dropping blond moustache gave his face an aspect of In amy fully in keep ing with his handsome proportions. His attire was that of the viqucro, consisting of buckskin trousers, a woolen shirt fastened at tho throat with a carelessly knotted silk haiuler i liief, a coarse chinchilla sack coat, mid broad brimmed bat of the sombre ro pattern. An Mii reporter learned his name and his history. His name was lalward X. Willi its, and six years ago he was at college, when he received peremptory orders from his father, a wealthy Boston merchant, to enter the theological class an I lit himself for the ministry. The command ivme like a thunderbolt to the happy-go luekv lel low, who had always believed himself Icslined to follow his father in business win u the latter should be ready to re lire. A quarrel with his "in was the result, and the voting fellow suddenly loll. The wild life of the cowboy i aught his fancy. Salary proved lit" In object, and he had little ilitliculty in attaching himself to a big ranch until lie had mastered his new vocation. The open ing of the summer found him engaged with three or four comrades in driving a small band of steers over the Santa Cru mountains. Toward the end of tin; drive the steep bluffs that line the road on either hand kept the steers in fairly good order, and only occasional ly did an unusually juicy bunch of grass tempt some hungry one to bolt up the slope or into the canon b.-low. It was an ocea-ioii of this sort that sent, Willetts caieering among the brakes and ferns on the slope above. A chase o! hall a mile had seen the truant return to the road, and Willetts was skirting the edge of the bmk some distance in front of the drove in search of a safe place to descend, when in tho middle of a narrow road h saw a lovely girl. The drove was thun dering down on her, and promising to soon crush her young life nut beneath their ponderous weight. I'.scape for the girl seemed impossible. From tho road to where Willett's horse stood was a wall of rock full twenty feet in height, anil Below to the bed of the stream was a sheer descent of double that distance. For only a sec ond was the horseman inactive. Then, with the speed b un of long practice, ho lifted his trusty rawhide rinln from the horn of his sa ldle and threw it. "Put that under your, inns, miss," was Willett's hasty injunction. t was obeyed, and not a moment too soon the girl was lifted above the heads and horns of Hie oncoming cat tle. When they were well by Willetts slowly slacked down nut il his "catch" dropped softly to the earth. Five minutes later, when he managed to lind a pathway down and reached the subject of his daring bit of horseman ship, she was lying in the dust in a taint. When she recovered he learned that she, too, was from Boston, and with her father and mother was spending tho summer amid Califor nia's most lavored spots. The old gentleman, her lather, was highly de lighted when he learned ol Willett's identity, as he soon did. "IBs daugh ter loolishly placed a high v alue on my little service," explained Willetts, blushing, "and when I saw how she had over -estimated it, I meanly dc inamled the largest reward I could think of. The details were settled yesterday, and I cimo up by the even ing train to lit myself for her society. She swears that I look like an angel in my woolen shirt ami buckskin trous ers, but I will try and get used to civilized garb, for vaquero's dress is hardly Iho thing f -r a sthctic Boston." "Are you going back?" "Ves. We shall tour Vosemite as man and wile, ami then go back home. My father-in-law says that my father has long been anxious to have me come heme, and thai be will set me up if the old gentleman doesn't, so I think I had better go." Costly.

During the past few years an enter prising business has been successfully carried on in Xew York City of which 'he general public know little. The nature of the business is made appar ent by the sign which swings in front of the principal store in a down-town street: "Houses cleared of rats by trained ferrets." Beneath the sign is a glass case in which two large ferrets lire exhibited. A 7''.ie reporter stopped before the case the other day, and while watching the antics of tho aninia's, one of the clerks of the estab lisiuent remarked: "It's a curious thing to see how well you can I rain dumb animals like these. Now take Jim here, as wo call him, and put him on the scent of a rat ami say the word go,' and he'll have him in an instant. But just say, 'guard him,' and he'll keep a rat in the middle of a circle for an hour by just running around him and heading him off when ho goes to get away." "Do you do much business in tho way of letting out ferrets .'" vva asked. "Yes, but lmt so much this season of the year as later on. Most of the rats, 1 guess, take a vacation in the summer, as we never have so many calls for ferrets as in the winter." "Is it in the better classes of houses that your servicesare Usually required, or in tenement houses .'" 'Chieily in the former, such as those in Filth ave. and I'm ty- second-st. You seethe proprietors of tenement houses won't spend the money neces sary for a ferret. They don't have to suffer, and so don't pay much atten tion to tho annoyance. But hotels and high-class private houses rent a ferret as soon as tlu-y discover any traces of these pests. We had a ea-" in Forty second-st. last winter where we kept two ferrets at work lor thiee days. At the end of that time I guess they had killed nearly two doen rats. The owner had been antiovel so that he thought of moving to get rid ol the rats, but. when wo showed him the pile of dead animals he was so tickled that what must he do I mi buy one of tho fei n ts and keep him as a pi t. The other day 1 had occasion to call at his house and he showed me the same ferret. He had bought a handsome capo for him and lilted it up in elegant style. A silk collar was fastened around his neck with 'Pet' embroidered on it. To show me how well he had trained him since the purchase he called 'Pet' to his side and dropping his pencil behind a large immovable desk where it would be almost im possible to get it again, h" merely said, 'get it.' In an instant the ferret was oil', and soon back again with the pen cil. The gentleman sahl that he had been of great service to him in that way, and he recommended them to all old ladies who are in the habit of los ing thimbles and spectacles in out of the-way corners and hides." .nr York J'l ili'iin: The Plot to Kidnap l.iiunlii.

Humors ran tlm ugh the town tha' a ' pirate ship had arrive I. or some for eign embassy on a seen t mission; but linally tho strange craft was boarded by the authorities, who found it to bo a charnel-house of decomposing corpse!, for every soul had perished of vomito. Due day a Norwegian vessel touched at Vera t'ru on some triv ia! errand, the .captain having lusiiated, it is .-aid, about doing so, as there was no special necessity for stoppinT. The result was the takii.g on a passenger, who, a lew days later, came down wi'h yel low fever, and every man on the ship, both lli ers and crew, died at sea be fore their destination was rea' iied.

If any ot her law s is vio lated the penalty tails upon the offen der, often with ten-fold lorce upon the heads of Ids children.
