At North Stonington farmer hae a pullet
that hatched out a lot of wild goose eggs
that he procured for her, and now she is
gingerly trying to bring the queer chicks
up, apparently suspictious that all is not ae

William E. Monsen, of Fair Haven, has
a unique curiosity ia 15 ,half-grown chinken
that was hatched by is dove. Some time
ago he set a dove with some of ite own
egge, but is cranky old hen flew into the
cote, smaehed the dove's eggs and then sat
down and laid an egg. The performance
may have been intended for a practical
joke on the hen's part, but the dove ac-
cepted the situstion seriously and went to
work to manipulate a chiokennut of the
colossal egg. Having accomplished that
:feat, the ambitione dove next essayed to
,steratch out a living for the chicken that
-sprawled about the farmyard as big as she
,was, but she failed in that undertaking.
'The chicken then took charge of the

, dove retired disconsolate. Thereupon the
filial chicken helped the old lady out with a

India is never silent; wnether in city or
jangle one is always surrounded by vigor-
ous and sometimes obtrusive animal Mei
find in writing of the every -day life of the
country one should never lose sight of the
relation which exists between it and that
of the people. It is really one of the great
attraotions of India, trovided always that
one doom not object to living for it while on
terms of •daily intimacy with the attired
kingdom. With osio tho west animal life
is banished frora our oitio, or (=lent only
in it state of bondage, audit ie daily becom-
ing more diffloult to get within rifle-ehot of
any wild , oresture. But on entering one
of the crowded and primitive old eine of
India one cannot help wondering to whom
all these animalbelong, and why this
bullock is blocking up the narrow street,
or raminating in the front doorway of a
fine house. But we are not long
in finding out that thee animals have
quite ae much right to their share of the
street as we have. For the most part, all
these beads, save the monkeys, are gentle
and well-behaved, rarely preimming on
their privileges; and their placid confidence
in human nature shows that their truet
has never been betrayed. Many incidents
in the Arabian blights, which oven after a
long familiarity with the Moslem East
may have seemed to belong to the domain
of pure fantasy, become to the observer in
India simple illnetratione of every -day life,
mob as the dory of ,Cogia Hassam, whose
turban was snatched from his head by a
kite, and even the hietory of Xing Bedcier,
wlio was transformed into a bird. But to
understand why these things are, let ne
look at them for is moment with the eyes
of

Modern eoienoe leas not supereded the

agrees with what he already knows. He does
• not care to inquire further,for his conviotions
are deeply rooted. Ile believed in the

spiders, of serpents, of aquatic animals, of
evil vampires." " The murderer of a
Brahmin passes into the body of is dog, is
hog, or an aas, is oemel or bull, is wild
beast, or is Tohandala (a mixed caste, the
lowest of all), according to the gravity of
his crime." But all of them are not neces-
sarily criminals : the uncouth and bald-
headed adjutant standing on one leg on

watching the square below out of one half-
closed eye, was doubtless is neurioue

Charge Against Chief Justice McDonald.
The President and directors of the Peo-
ple's Bank ot Halifax have eubmitted a
petition to the Governor•General in Coun-
cil, claiming damages became of the
alleged wilful refusal of Chief Justice Mo.
Donald, of the Sapreme Conrt of that
province, to deliver judgment in favor of
tho bank In a suit against some of its
debtors, until it was too late to recover the
debts. The bank claims that the Govern-
ment should reooap to it the $21,762 which
it allegea it lost through the delay in the
delivery of the Chief Justice'sdecision in
ite favor. The jadge ageinet whom com-
plaint its made is Hon. James McDonald,
formerly Minister of Justice. The petition
alleges that the People's Bank
bronght suit to recover the amount
of promissory notes made by certain mer-
chants named Locke, of Lookeport, Shel-
burne county, and endorsed by other
parties. The makers of the notes became
insolvent and suits were brought by the
bank against the endorsers. These are the
cues in which, it is alleged, tlae Chief
Justice delayed judgment nntil the defend-
ants had made away with their property,
making the judgment in the bank's favor
worthless. It is °barged in the petition
that the Chief Justice was urged, by the
bank's solicitor to deliver jagment at an
early date, but he refused to do so without
the assent of the defendants. lt is also
asserted that the parties against whom the
jadgment was given have boasted that they
procured the delay purposely.—Montreal

The Weapon now introduced by him,
however, is something more than an in.

not only promises to revolutionize the

many other purposes as a motive power.
Those who are interested in the Giffard

would be no difficulty in refitting the
cylinders with gas on the bettle-field ; but
it is obvious, even if that be the case, that
reserve cylinders would have to be supplied
to each man in order to make up the num-
ber of rounds now thought to be neoessery,

Women Drinkers.
Dr. Norman Kerr, President of the
British Society for the study of inebriety,
makes the sterkling statement, that while
drinking has decidedly diminished among
men, it has meakedly increased among
women. He ettys they are not :limited to
the . beer -shop class, but are to bte found
among educated. and religioute women.
There is a,noticible increase of drunkards

be seven male prisoners in England and
Wales to one female; the proportion now
is three to one. The doctor's study has

ing all intoxicants in the circuit—opium,

of dealing with both the inebriate and the

How to Wax is Floor.

mixture into another containing boiling

The beat article for rubbing in oil or wax

brushes are furnished with long handles
and have heavy -weighted backs of solid

the floor like is mop. It requires considera-
ble strength to use even the small (or $5)
size, but it is lee laborious to rub in wax
or oil by thie means than by hand. It
doe not require so much rubbing to get an
oiled floor into proper condition for use as
is waxed one. Unless the surface of the
floor in either case ie thoroughly polished,

Emu° ilioalthfulato:Ite. for *extern/
Of the total number of deaths in warm
weather, according to the records,
nearly one-third are olaildren under one
year of age. Is thie mortality is neces-
sity ?We are inelined to thinn not.
The diseases from ethic% these children
the arise, as ek rule, from preventable
causes. Not Always go much from the
want of °aro ail from the want of know.
ledoe how to care for them. Tito devioe of
any means to prevent this great infant
mortality is to work well worthy of is phil-
anthropist. If we look to the °lasses of
disease Closely, the inference is, that a con-
eiderable number of these deaths have in
reality a close and direot relation to the
kind of food mven.
'he general ory of teething is nonsensi-
cal. It is ohild is bathed and fed regularly,
clothed loosely and comfortably, not over.
nureed or "mauled' on a Warm day, and
given regular limns of rest, the teeth will
wine through almost unnoticed. It must
be renaembered that is child cannot digest
food containing starch, such as rice water,
bread food, pap or gruel, until it has teeth.
Therefore milk, whioh is animal food, has
by nature bean given as the only one needed
up to that time.
Careful examinatione prove that the
highest mortality is among children that
are brought up by hand. This shows for
itself that they are given is poor substitute
for their natural food. Cow milk slightly
watered and sweetened with sugar of milk
is, perhaps, is good substitute for mother's
milk, providing that you can depend upon
the quality and character of the milk. This
is very hard to do in is large oity. Milk
that is perfectly good when it leaves its
country home is, in hot weather, namely
fit for ordinary table use when it arrive
in the city. All these things must be taken
into consideration. Follow closely the
advice of your physician who.can, probabry,
recommend to yell some infaan'a food
which he has used sucousfully. Do not,
under any circumstances, change this Nod
at each suggestion of your many friends es
to the merits of this or that epeoial kind.
By so doing you frequently destroy the
digeetion and appetite of the infant. Re-
member, Churchill says, that "man's
digestion must be well oared for from the
hoar of birth." Give a child during the
warm weather a little space to breathe;
don't have it constantly nursed, or closely
wrapped in is baby coach.
It is a most sorrowful sight to behold
is haggard, restless, moaning child
huddled up in warm arms or blanketed
on a feather pillow in to baby coach at
this seaeon ot the year; and very often
beside all this, you see is soiled nuraing
bottle, the tube of which the child has been
sucking for hours. This alone is enougb.
to kill an ordinary child. By following is
few commonsense ideas many of these
troubles oan be avoided. Take your babe
from its bed every morning at is regular
hour; bathe it well, but carefully, in lake.
mom salt water; dry with is soft towel.
If it is discolored by heat rash, dust lightly
with prime rice flour, then put next to
the elfin an all -wool game flannel shirt,
long enough to ever the bowels, over
this to thin flennel skirt, with a muslin
or linen body, then the slits or outer gar-
ment, which should be temple, neat and
plain, with high neck and long sleeves.
Zephyr sooke should cover the feet, and
a soft linen bib protect the front of the
dress. After the babe is dressed it
should be immediately fed; if not from
the breast, have the prepared food ready
in a perfectly sweet bottle with is short
nursing tube. Hold the child while feeding
in a semi-ereot position. If this direction
is not observed the food is apt to be thrown
off and lost to the child. How often we see
is nurse in feeding a child by bottle, fix it
comfortably in bed on its back and then
put a long tube in its mouth, allowing it to
suck as much air into ite stomach as it
conveniently oan. All this favors those
accidents whioh it is so desirable to avoid.
After the babe has taken its half pint of
food, lay it down on is mattress, cover it
lightly, close all avenues of drafts, but be
sure that the room is well ventilated and
allow it to take is good long nap, which in
moat cans it will gladly do.—Dietetic Ga-

A. Novel Cure for the Grip.
A good many queer mires for influenza
were put forward during the epidemio, but
none of them equals the remedy described
in the following extract from the "Journal
and correspondence of Lord Auckland."
The passage was written from Madrid in
Marcel, 1789. I do not know whether the
coincidence has been noticed before, but
the epidemio seems to have been tut preval-
ent throughout Europe at the beginning of
1789 as it was at the end of 1889. "There
is a new influenza of colds, accompanied
with is degree of sickiehness. The mire for
the lower people here is to drink large
gnentities of warm water and to lie down
upon the floor, and to prevail upon some
friend to walk upon them for half an hour.

A Patrol Itiraggon's Outfit.
The outfit of an ordinary polios patrol
waggon is at carious as it is Interesting.
Thepassing observer usually imagines that
the heavy, brass -geared vehicle is merely
for the transportation of drunken
beings. The sound of the waggons gong
is associated with a raid upon is gambling
house or the arrest of an inebriate. Bat
the blue -coats who stand guard on the
patrol waggons hew) a varied line of duty.
To begin with, timy are oalled from the
police boxes, an 4 without knowing the
nature of their ,ed the deers ride to
the scene of perlam S i murder, an accident,
fire or riot. Whet, no intimation of the
case to be attendee to is given old officsers
can usually tell (tom the locality from
which the order c tne. As, for inatenoe,
is hurried oall from the foot of Van Buren
street would undoubtedly mean a railroad
moident. Very often the officers feel so
confident of the nature of the case that they
prepare the stretcher beforehand. This
latter is only one of the many appliances
with which the patrol is supplied. The
signaleservioe officers, as the policemen on
duty are called, are drilled in the use of the
various appliances given into their care.
The stretcher everybody is familiar
with. The ice cap, is rubber bag made
to fit over the head, and capable of being
filled with chopped, ioe, plays an important
part in sunstroke oases. Every waggon
has one or more of these useful sacks,
which answer tlee purpose until the patient
oan be placed in a cot at is hospital. Then
there is the medicine chest with its simple
amortment of lint, bandages, ammonia,
bromide, iodiform, soap, &Mellon and a
few surgeon's instruments. Periodical
schools of instruction are held for the pur-
pose of teaching the raen the rudiments of
is surgeon's duty. The men must act and
think quickly. Very often a minute's delay
in forming a ligature proves fatal to the
bleeding victim. Rubber and woollen
blankets and court pleader are also to bo
found in the waggon lockers. Extra clubs,
dark lanterns, hand.onffe, come-a•longa,
revolvers and ammunition are likewise
carried. Numerotta other little but neces-
sary artiolee are stowed away in the
drawers of the blue waggon. A pair of
grappling hooks for the recovery of bodies
are taken when the offiere start out on is
hunt for a, drowned man.
" To tell the truth," remarked an old
patrol -service mane as be worked away

in setting broken limbs, " the average citi-
zen has no idea of the numerous little and
unpleasant things that.we must attend to.

position than the public to know what 13

session of such secrete, a remarkable eystem
can be worked of what is known as "mak-
ing false favorites." For this porpoise a
combination of artificeis often sufficient
to impose upon the public. /tumor% freely

recorded in their hooka and published ia

public in to back him, perhaps tip to the
position of first favorite.
There is at the same time considerable
mutual dependence between racing and
betting. Raoing, of course, is the sub-
stratum of betting; but nobody- Who looks
facts in the face can fail to see that racing
derives a great deal of reolprocal support
from betting. It would be idle to euppose
that the orowde which throng the stands
at race courses pay their guineas for ad-
mission in the ewe way as they might
take tickets for is theatre, simply to see a,
elaow. If the betting element were abol-
ished from the race course,

have it, it is not difficult tc, see the effect

the meeting; and it the race fund seem
the prizes that are given at meetings must
suffer, too. The body of professional
raoing men forms another link between
racing and betting. If part of their reim-
bursement ia derived from prizes or stakes,
for the bulk thereof they look to "getting
on " at a good price; and this they are only
able to do through the existence of a free
market for betting, Vague rumnors are

War on the Square Room.
War has commenced on the square room.
Decorators insist on sinking the oorners,
and to this end great couches, with leather,
skin or oriental rugs and high backs are
prescribed., with side tables, antique pani-
era, buffets, screens and hanging wood car-
vings to make an octagon of hexagon of
the square. By way of a make -shift there
is nothing more effective than a big table,
stained, polished or draped, set morose an
angle beneath a square of plate glass or
grill -work. Another cheap device is the
lltitch pole and drapery of terra -Dot*
reaching to the buffet or side table, as is
baokgroand for china. The nails are run
through the drapery, and on them plaques,
cups and flat forms may be hung. Bits of
old bine china against is drapery of briefs
red make a very pleasant contrast. Screens
are old favorites for rounding corners, and
so is the small low, movable bookcase.
