How la Take Care of a Babr.
There ia a papular notion that babies
sometimes resemble rcsl persons, re
producing on a contracted scale tbe
noses and chins cf their immediste en

look exactly alike ; so, of course, it is
irupoistblc, as well as uinlesiratile. that
all babies should have any onff lather's

There is oo doubt that clergymen and
orators, while speaking, would derive
great benefit Irom pertuming meir

to rigorous action and is gratefully re

other cologne or toilet water equal It.

Thla 1 perfectly tine, tayi Troth,
about the late Lord Leltriin. One of
hia tenants, a Scotchman, apeot a deal
of time aud money draining and
hedging bia holding. Hia landlord
happened to pas by one day and im
mediately turuad In on the land when
he taw the improvement., "ilsd you
my order for doing this?" "No, my
lord." "Very well. Thla la Saturday.
If you have not got these drain filled
op and tbose hedge pulled down on
Monday, out you go." Not a ?ery
long, but t very pithy, conversation.
Tbe man wa iu despair, and went for
advice to the priest "All. right,'' said
hi reverence, "1'il make it all right for
you ; I'll go ball. Come (0 mass to
morrow, and aee what I'll do for you."
A very abort service waa tbe result,
and then the priest led the way to tht
Scotchman' holding, followed by the
whole congregation armed with picks,
spades and shovels, and by Monday
morning not a vestige remained ot tbe
improvements. When Lord Leitrlm
arrived he was utterly amazed. Bnt
not more amazed than delighted. His
whim wa an expensive oue, lor be
paid out of bis own pocket to have
every single tbing re-made which bad
by bis order been demolished.
Evirybodt ba beard tha old itory
of the silent man who, riding over a
bridge, asked hi (errant If he liked
egg, to which the aervant anawered
ye. Nothing more passed till the next
year when, riding over tbe tame bridge
he famed to his servant and aald,
"How ?" "Poached, air," wa tbe Imme
diate answer. The story baa been
thrown Into the shade In Italy. When
Pompeii waa destroyed by an eruption
of Mount Vesuvius, A. D. 79, a the
atrical representation, a everybody
know, wa going on In the Amphi
theater. A certain Langinl baring got
permission to open a theater on tbe
ruin of the ancient city announced the
opening night iu the following advertisement:
"Alter a lapse of more than eighteen
hundred years, (be Theater of tbl city
will be reopened witb 'La Figlia del
Reggimento.' I solicit a continuance
of tbe favor bestowed on my predeces
sor, Marcus Quintue Martua, and beg
to assure .be public tbat I shall make
every effort to equal the rare qualities
be displayed during bis managemeut."
The fight by circuselephants in Pied
mont, Vs., wss a lively one. There
were six of the huge beasts, some
Asiatic aud some African, and between
the two sorts no love had been lost
The trouble wa begun on a bridge.
The keeper intended to let only oue
cross at a time, fearing that the struc
ture was not secure; but two crowded
j on together and one pushed the other
iuto the stream. Tbe water was deep.
1 and the ducked elephant, on coming to
I the surlace, blew a terrible blast of rage
and defiance. An African elephant
quickly plunged In, and the ogbt was
begun witb lusks and trunk. Toe six
beasts were excited beyond control,
and it was soon general melee. Oue
got mired, tud had to be lifted out
wi'h a crane. After they bad all been
secured, Ibe leaders in tbe fight were
whipped and prodded until tbey were
entirely submissive.
A slim and sleek-haired theological
student from Massachusetts wa re
cently Invited to preach before a Tex
as congregation. He happened, bow
ever, to begin hi sermon by stating
the hitherto accepted zoological fact
that "tbe lion wss Ibe king of beast,"
an Injudicious remark (which ao in
flamed tbe congregation, which had
been reduced to tbe statue of a busted
community by playing tbe llonness
open and coppering tbe bull at the
tournament, tbe Sunday before,) tbat
the Deacons took him out and hung
him on a pecan tree, as mark for the
Sunday-school children to practice at
with ihcir little revolvers. Then a
