IN THE BETHESDA MISSION.
Baby Boys un<! Ctrl* in Chicago's “Day
Nursery”—Little Ones at Dinner.
There is one bright spot in the very
heart of the “levee” district. It is the
Bethesda Day Nursery. It is in a wretched
neighborhood—a district where dissipa¬
tion and sin and sorrow and poverty
abound. The population is a horrid
mixture, including the worst colored
element and the most vile characters of
the levee white population. The streets
arc frequented hy bad characters by day,
and are the scope of brawls and fights by
night. Dives and dens and gambling re¬
sorts, and doubtful lodging places, make
the place one to lie avoided by all re¬
spectable people. It is in the very heart
of this place that the Women’s Christian
Temperance uuion is carrying on its most
effective local mission work.
But its most flourishing department is
the Bethesda day nursery. The work of this
brancli is presided over by Mrs. William
Sevant, who seems to bo peculiarly
adapted for charitable work. The nur¬
sery was opened in November, 188G, and
from that date it lias been the homo of
the babe from the little tiling 2 weeks
old to the child of 7. There the little
ones live and chatter and coo and crow,
and cry and laugh and eat and drink
during the day time, while their wid¬
owed or deserted mothers are out
scrubbing or washing, striving to earn
a livelihood for lrer family. Mrs. Sevant
has been very successful in her work,
but, of course, does not receive the liber¬
al donations in aid of the little ones that
she desires. .She has secured as matron
Mrs. M. B. Smith, who has the immedi¬
ate care of the nursery. It is located on
the second and third floors of the build¬
ing, immediately above the mission
chapel, and is fitted up with a view to
llie comfort of the babies. Mothers who
arc striving to earn an honest living and
who are obliged to work out hy the day,
may carry their little ones to the nursery-
in the morning and call for them again
at night when they return from the hard
day’s toil to their miserable homes. They
arc asked to pay each day ten cents, if
they era; five cents if they cannot afford
ten; two cents if they can spare it, and
nothing- if they have naught to give.
The reporter was taken into the nursery
the other afternoon, in the midst of the
twenty-three babies, and the sight that
met his astonished gaze cannot well be
described. It may he said at the outset
that the nursery clothes and feeds these
little ones, as well as furnishes them a
day home. Hence they were all clean
and neatly clad. The youngest was three
weeks old. It was tugging away at a
well filled bottle for dear life, and had an
extensive growth of black hair. Its eyes
were jet black and piercing, and there
was a smile upon its fat little face.
In the “crib room” babies were sleep-'
ing and cooing and crying and laughing
and rolling upon tho floor. It was a
queer sight. To see tho babies in the
dining room is worth the walk to the
nursery. There are three long, narrow
tables. One is about twelve inches high
from the floor, and the little chairs that
surround it give tho scene an old
fashioned appearance. The other two
are a little higher, but tho “high chair”
business has been abolished. Twenty
babies at dinner! Well, it is worth
seeing. It takes four nurses to pick up
spoons. And the baby food. It is de¬
licious, which is evidenced by the keen
appetites of the babies. They are a
friendly lot at the table, and are allowed
considerable latitude. Johnny dips his
spoon, for instance, into Eddie's dish.
As an appreciation of this Eddie lands a
left hand full of bread and milk just under
Johnny's left eye. Spoons are thrown
aside and a hair pull tug of war sets in,
winch is lovingly terminated by the
gentle hands of the nurse. Such is
happy baby life at the Bethesda nursery.

Stealing from Actors.
Actors often suffer from thieves while
on the road. It is not their valuables—
diamonds, cash and the like movables—
which disappear as often as their profes¬
sional appurtenances, which have less
monetary value, but whose loss often
causes distressing inconvenience. Eugene
O'Rourke sings a pretty and pleasing
song, “Papa, Sweet Mamma and Mo.”
One day while the corifpany was staying
in one of tho interior Michigan towns tho
entire orchestra score disappeared, hav¬
ing been appropriated hy a local leader
whose stock of fresh music had run low
and who wanted to get a new number
for his repertory cheaply. As there was
uot a second copy of the orchestra score
and the song could not he sung without
an accompaniment, “Papa, Sweet Mam¬ work
ma and Me” had to retire until the
of orchestration could again be done.
“I can tell of stranger things than
that.” said an old time actor. “You
have no idea of the rapacity of the
thieves who rob traveling professionals,
nor of their persistency. I knew a leader
who had a violin which he prized slept very
highly and watched zealously—even sir,
with it under his pillow. Well, a
fellow up in Muskegon, I think it was,
took a notion to have that violin. He
followed the company from town to
town, and after a week’s cat at a rat hole
watching, ho got an opportunity and
sneaked il. Why, they steal our cuffs,
collar buttons, old shoes if they can’t find
mates, make up boxes, stage clothes—
anything they can lay hands on.’ - —De¬
troit Free Press.

An Artificial Larynx.
Gussenhauer, of Prague, invented an
artificial larynx, through which Bill¬
roth's first successful case was able to
breathe, aiid by means of which shak¬
ing could he done, and, strangely enough,
the words were intelligible. The arti¬
ficial larynx consists of tubes with vibrat¬
ing membranes within, through which
the air must pass to and from the lungs.
The natural voice consists of tones or
sounds produced by the vibrations of the
vocal cords in the larynx, hut modified
by the throat, tongue, nose, mouth,
teeth and lips. So it is easily understood
that articulation does not occur in the
larynx. In the artificial contrivance the
membranes are stretched so tightly that
when the air is passed between them
with some force a tone is produced. rendered As
these membranes cannot lie
tensu or lax, the tone is always the same,
an unnatural, monotonous sound, hut
the organs engaged in articulation arc
able to produce the necessary modifica¬
tions in it to lie understood as words with
definite meanings,—Globe-Democrat.
Clothing of tlio Skin.
In a paper on the health of the skin,
by Dr. Starin, extended reference is made
to the prevalent habit of putting too
many wraps on the skin, and concerning
which the author declares that no man’s
skin, or woman's either, can be kept
thoroughly clean and healthy hy piling
too much clothing upon liis or her body.
It is a fact, he says, that clothing in
itself has no property in itself of bestow¬
ing heat, hut is chiefly useful in prevent¬
ing the dispersion of the temperature of
the body, and in some instances in de¬
fending it from the atmosphere; and
this power of preserving heat is due to
the same principle, that of conduction
and non-conduction, whatever form the
raiment may assume, whether the most
healthful and elegant tissues of human
manufacture or nature’s covering of
birds and animals.—Boston Budget.
The Value of Condiments.
The value of the various condiments in
the preparation of combination dishes is
great. Used with discretion they stimu¬
late the appetite and promote digestion,
red pepper being specially valuable in this
connection. The various herbs and spices
are exceedingly valuable; salt is abso¬
lutely necessary to health despite all con¬
trary assertions of the food cranks, anu
the condiments employed in making
salads promote the digestion and assimi¬
lation of all food eaten at the same lime.
—Chicago Times.
Especially to Women.
“Sweet is revenge especially to
women,'’ said the gifted, hut naughty,
Lord Byron. Surely h* was iu bad hum
or when he wrote such words. But
there are complaints that only women
sufler, that are carrying numbers of
them down to early graves. There is
hope for those who suffer, no matter how
sorely, or severely,in Di. R. V. Pierce’s
“Favorite Prescription.” Safe in its ac
tion it is a blessing, especially to wo¬
men and to men, too, for wh?u women
suffer, the househrld is askew.

I CIYIL SERVICE REFORM.
Chairman Clements’ Opinion of
Present Low.
Washington, Jan.
—Hon. Judson C Cleon nts, of
gia, the Chairman of the Civil
vice Reform Committee of the
stands with the News iu its view
civil service reform. In his ruinori
ty report of the last Congress on civ
il service reform, Mr. Clements said;
“I do not believe that the grave
abuses that grew up under long con
tinned rule of the Republican party
following the civil war, demand or
justify the new and radical departure
in principal and policy embodied in
the act known as the civil service
law. The ’residents power of ap
pointrnenl and removal-with respect
to executive offices is fixed by the
Communion. Therefore, in so far
as the act in question attempts to
limit this power in any way, whether
directly by its own terms or by rules
established in pursuance of tire same,
it is not a valid law, and can only op
erate by virtue of executive acquies
cence. Not only the President but
the political party that elects him is
held responsible by the whole peo
pie for his administration of the laws.
“As to a ia-ge number ol offices,
the act under consideration takes
from him the responsibility and pla
ces it upon commissioners of mixed
politics, supposed to be non-partisan,
who, hy their examining hoards ap
ply theoretic, hair splitting tests, un
necessary to the practical ascertain
mentof the fitness of the applicants
for the employ ment sought. Hy the
rules, all persons over the age of forty
five years, however well qualified
and honorable, are absolutely barred
from examination.
“The most serious objection to it
is that it tends toward a permanent
office holding community. The sys
tem i» borrowed from England, and
is no doubt consonant with that lim
ited monarchy, where the title to the
highest office in the realm is inherit
ed as a piece of property for life.
But I believe it to be utterly at vari
ar.ee with the genious and spirit of
our institutions. I do not believe it
is in accord with the sentiment of
democratic America. This is a gov
ernment of the people, by the peo
p!e and for the people, and should so
continue. Public office is not held
as of right by a special class, but is a
public trust confided by the people
for the public good.”

To a recent opening in one of the

and solitaires. They were seated bo
fore swinging mirrors, and a staff oi

four bonnets and hats. Each visitor
was provided with a hand glass, and
while they were getting the effect
the following notes were jotted
down: Two sales were closed, three
orders taken, and the rest got ideas
and promised to be in again. Four
bit their lips every time they looked
in the mirror, and five put out their
tongue and rolled iu their lower lip
whenever a style pleased them. Sev
en were garrulous, three dictorial,
and one smiled without ceasing,
Three wore false hair, seven had pow
dered cheeks, and two roughed lips,
Six breathed with open mouths,
eight had tiny face veils and chapped

only one pair of ears had not been
pierced. There were four crooked
skirls, four high linen collars, six
bonnets, five fur wraps, and lour car

Only one woman refrained from ver
