THE NIGHT AFTEB.
voice of one err-
Ins, ant in the wilder
ness, bat In the nurs
ery, la the aoand that
arrets the startled
ears of the mother thm
night after Christmas, and generally It la a
notse that may writ startle the eara of a
mother. It In brxt to impossible to prerrct
children from rating things on that day
that prove -too much for the tender lit
tle stomachs. Loving aunts, indulgent
Rrandanatbers, heedless fathers and often
Ignorant mothers let the little ones, even
the baby, hare things that no child or
grown person should eat. They aay, "Oh,
hum wont nnrt mm," not when nearly
every one In the household has acted on tba
Bams principle the children have filled
themarlrea with Indigestible stuff little
better than poison.
Chrlstmaa la a day wherein nearly every
body seta mora than la good for him. and
the food considered suitable for that day la
m me ricnest ana most complicated and
Indigestible kind. Grown people find
a Christmas day'a feasting a serious mat
ter. How then cai we expect a little child
to llva thronga It? A physician of note
onea said more children die of overeating
than of atarvation.
The most dreaded and dangerous form of
illness resulting from overeating la the
convulsion. The child may or may not
ahowsignsof the coming illness. Its checks
may be very red, Ita lips white and pinched,
and the child uupb and Drrroua. It may
go to eleep, bnt It will often err out in
eleep and move about restlessly. The mus
cle often twitch and the eyes frequently
turn upward, but all these symptoms mav
be presrnt and yet the child will not have
a convulsion. Still they give sufficient cause
tor alarm to demand a good dose of sirup
at rnunaro. or ot magnesia, or a wtne
giaaeiul of Ilunvadl mineral water, which
1 have used with good success with cLli-
arru.
Where there are symptoms like those
mentioned above, one baa a warning and
ran combat the danger, but only too often
there la no sign of coming sickness nntil
the mother bears that one strange croak'
tng cry, and then It is often too late, and in
any case requires the moat active and be-
roie treatment to nave the little sufferer,
who lies rigid and without consciuusnesM.
The eyea are then tnrned upward, having
CMdy the whites visible, the little teeth are
art tightly aad the lips drawn back. After
awhile the convulsions begin, and the poor
little lunacies strain, and the child writhe
aad twists, bnt is all the while unconscioua.
rtometimea bloudy froth appears In the
month, the breath cornea Irregularly and
often seem to stop altogether and some
times does.
There is anmethtng so unearthly In that
one terrible cry that precedes a convulsion
that no mother ever heard It Without trem
bling. In an Instant the dortor is sent for,
and women fly for remedies. The fin
thing ia to get the little sufferer into a hot
bath np to the chin, the water to lie as bet
as the mothers wrist ran bear. Itiaei
to aay from DO to 1"0 degrees of beat, but
few have a thermometer at hand, so the
mot her'a wrist must be the guide in emer-
grncirs.
The child slionld remain in the water 10
to 1ft minutes, a little boigrr If the convul
sions do not relax aotuewhat. Then it
should be taken from the water and laid in
a wanned shawl or woolen blanket, with
out stopping to dry or dress the little oue.
and as sunn aa it can swallow give it an
emetic ot warm mntard or anlt and water
(a teaapooof ul of either ia enough!, mixed
with a cup of warm water. Sirup of ipecac
is better still, if at hand, and can be given

the case waa caused by the cootradictory
evidence of the parent. They brought
Annie op with the idea that abe waa not

aooght refuge in the Florence home they
declared that they were her parent.
They have dropped hints about the
possibility of the child coining into a
great inheritance someday, and it would
seem that there was eome basis for this
hypothesis, for they are now as eager to
get hold of her as they were to lose ber.

Mrs. Borden bought the child some

FRIGHTENED TO DEATH.
Terrible Besalt of a Joke Flayed by a Bay
oa Bis UtUe Sister.
A pall hangs over the house of John
Powell, who resides in tbe little hamlet
of Prospect Plains, N. J., about 12 miles
from this city, by reason of the untimely
death of. Mary ToweU, his bright 12-
year-old daughter. Her death was the
resnlt of a practical joke played by her
brother, who is nearly crazed by the out
come of his thoughtlessness.
Tbe children were playing about the
house in the evening when Mary tie-
thought herself of some doll clothes she
had left in the cellar. She was of a quiet
and timid disposition and did not enjoy
a trip into the darkness of the cellar. She
finally conquered her fears sufficiently to
hurry down stain, and just as she thought
sho was out of harm's way her brother
appeared, and the thought occurred to
him that now was his opportunity to
give Mary a fright. He avaded himself
of the chance and quickly closed the eel
lar door as Mary reached for the knob.
When the girl realized that she was
alone in the dark, she screamed in ter
ror. To increase her fright, tbe boy gave
vent to a series of sounds that made the
little girl nearly frantic.
The boy listened to his sister' cries
nntil ber scream grew fainter and
finally ceased entirely, when lie became
alnrmei.
His alarm increased when be called
the girl by name and received no reply,
and he was terrified when he opened the
door and found his sister lying on tbe
floor.
Receiving no reply to his questions.
he rushed in search of his mother, who
was horrified to find her daughter was
dead. A physician was summoned, who
gave it as his opinion that the little one's
death was tbe result of acrasm produced
by fright. Tbo boy, who was the cause
of his sister's death, lies in bed, tossing
about and mooning, and refuses to be
comforted. acw Brunswick SpeciaL
Clres His IImm to tbe Faor.
A dispatch from "Waverly, Ia., says:
To tbe indigent people of Bremer county
the prospects of a journey "over the
hills to the tioorhouse will henceforth
be robbed of mniiy ot its terrors, for,
through the generosity of Mr. Abraham
Slimmer, those who are so unfortunate
as to become public charges will dwell
in marble balls. Mr. Slimmer today
dropped into the county auditor' office
while the board of supervisors was in
session and pleasantly surprised that
body by presenting it with a deed of
his palatial mansion that overlooks the
city from the west, and which, with the
beautiful park surrounding it, is valued
at $20,000. Tho only condition of the
transfer is that the dwelling should be
need exclusively as a home for poor per
sons, and the donor takes it npon him
self to pay tho expenses ot tbe establish
ment till his death.
"Leg ralllaaT Legally Deflaed.
Theexpressive but questionable phrase
"pulling a leg" was defined by tbe Berks
county court the other day. In the divorce
case of Lewis W.Yocnm against his wife,a
letter written by the latter wa produced.
in which aho told her husband if he
wanted hi "leg pulled" she would do it.
The question was asked what was meant
by "pulling a leg." J. IL Jacobs, coun
sel for tbe defense, said it was a slang
term, meaning to get money from an
other without giving an equivalent. The
court acquiesced in this definition of
"leg pulling. Heading (Pa.) Dispatch.
