move the chair with her foot. lie took
tho chair in his srme, tho hack to lus
lace, and she put her palms on it. It
would move hut very little, and she turned
away from it. Mr. Smith >aid: "l per
eeive nothing but muscular force. W hen
1 push iu any direction she pushes the
same way." Dr. Brookott took theebuir.
Miss Hurst pushed him round the stage
fora moment or two. He said: "it i
not muscular ioroe. 1 could feel that my
muscles tingled us it 1 had hold of a
batteiy."
Smith Clayton toik the chair and she
pushed hitu around. Ho aid: "It is
muscular fotoe. 1 felt the press iro of her
hands.” 'lherc was considerable excite

"Will you experiment longer with me? '
She replied: "I will not. Youaredts

WHAT A BABY COSTS.
The following is going the rounds,
written by an editor who thinks he is
smart, very likely:
“A baby can wear out a dollar pair
of ahoes in twenty-four hours. It can
keep its father busy advertising in the
newspapers for a nurse. It can occupy
both sides of the largest sized bed
manufactured simultaneously. It can
make the author of its being’s wash
hill foot up to $5 a week, and not be
feeling at all well. It can crowd to
suffocation the smoking car of a rail,
road train with indignant passengers
between two stations, cause its father
to be insulted by every second-class
boarding house keeper in the city who
‘never takes children.’ It can make
an old bachelor in the room adjpining
use language that, if uttered in the
street, would get him in the peniten
tiary for two years. It can, in a few
minutes, drive a man frantically from
his home and cause him to seek the
companionship ol a locomotive blow
ing off steam.’’
It is oowardly to abuse a person
who cannot talk back, and the man
who thus abuses the baby, a poor
little thing that is not responsible for
coining to earth to annoy fools, is fit
for treason, or jumping a board bill.
A baby never annoyed any person
with a soul, unless there was something
the matter with it, for which a grown
person was responsible. It is true, a
baby can wear out a pair of kid shoes
in twenty-four hours, but if the pro
prietor of the baby does not like to
stand the expense, he can buy cheaper
shoes that will lasi a year. It can
keep a father busy advertising for
nurses, if the father is a fool, but if he
dislikes to advertise for nurses be can
nurse the babj himself, or he needn’t
have any baby. If the kicking father
does not like to pay wash bills he can
wash the clothes himself. The baby
is not to blame because s< cond class
boarding houses do not want children
around, and the hoarding houses are
not to blame either. The father of a
baby should have a home before lie
does a baby, anil then he w ill not lie
insnlted. Bui the last sentence of the
above item is what makes me hot.
“A baby can in a few minutes drive a
man frantically from his heme,’’ etc.
No “man" oould he driven from home
by his baby. A person who could he
driven from home frantically by the
crying ot his own baby is a cowardly
jackass, and a baby ought to he
ashamed of such a father. Much a
“man'’ is a thing. A man would stay
at home and help seek tiie cause ot
the buoy’s peevishness and correct it.
The Sun does not believe the writei of
the above a tide ever had a baby, but
it he did, he is a no-account sort of a
journalistic dude, w ithout a soul. It
the man lias a baby, what precious
reading the article will be to him some
day when lie comes home and is met
at the door by bis pale-tiiced, frightened
wife, who, with tears in her eyes, gays:
“Go for the doctor at once; the baby,
I fear, is dying." The cold chills will
creep up his hack, and bis hair will
feel as though it is turning gray; us he
starts for the doctor he will feel a
•bough his legs never acted so slowly,
and he will pray to his God that the
life of the abug. and little one may he
spared till he gets hack; [and I e w ill
think of the cruel w ords he has written
about babie , and wonder if f lie doctor
will be at home. He is “driven
frantically from home” now, but not
to seek ‘ the cotnpa ion-hip of t\ loco
motive blowing off steam." He is
after the doctor to save the life of the
baby that wears out a pair of kid
shoes in a day, and he would I:wy all
the kid shoes in the world if baby
would live. He gives the doctor a
lively race back to the house, and he
is not thinking alotit a $5 wash bill.
The father who unites such stuff about
babes hurries to his home wondering
if the little treasure is aiive or dead,
and the coward dare not go into the
room and face the little sufferer. Men
may find fault with the trouble of
raising babies, and think they are
smart, but when they have stood by
the bedside of one ol their own, and
watched its last breathing and seen
the little life go out, and felt that tug
ging at the heart that can never be
described by mortal tongne or pen,
and have followed the little one to the
grav e and heard the cold, cruel clay
rattle upon the coffin, amigo home to
the deserted house and see baby's
play things everywhere though teats,
they will never again talk funny about
a baby being a nuisance. The smart
Aleck w ho wrote the above could never
have witnessed the baby smile of
welcome to papa when he came home,
or felt little fat arms around his neek,
and looked into little eyes that are
heaveu’s w indows, or seen the hearty
lough that shows sharp little new teeth
coming through the sweet red gums, or
had the little one get astraddle of his
foot tor a ride, or seen the lace at the
window as he came up the street from
a day of toil. Had the writer of the
| above x,e:i.n:'d tli-se pleasures he
would have written different and said:
“A baby is a ray of human sunshine
sent to earth to brighten the pathway
of people who have souls.’’ No, the
wriler,of the above is a man withont a
heart, whose idea of bliss is a second
class boarding house where babies are
not wanted, and whose deathbed will
be in a hospital, his attendants charita
ble people, his mourners will be those
who can get a free hack ride to the
graveyard, and his monument should
be a piece of soapstone engraved,
‘‘Here lies the remnant of a star idiot,
who, hating babies, bated everything
that was good, and he didn’t die a
moment too soon, and, thanks be to
God, he didn’t leave any posterity.’’—
