B F. & Co., 1000 Main St. Richmond.Va GRIFFIN GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, JAM 1 YRY 13 1888 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. —Chicago Herald. 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.

Uncle Jake? “Dat ar ’pends alto gedder how dey enjoy demselves; if dey hab cbillus an keep Dr. Biggers’ Huckle berry Cordial, dey are certain to be, for hit will de bowel troubles and da ohilinn teething.” 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. Alcn Out or Their Element.

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.” Central South Advertising Kcdining, Which we have just received from the publishers, differs from most pub lications cl its class in this respect: — that in place .-f being a ponderous, heavy and un wieldly volume the out side of u hich fatigues a person to even look at, it confines itself to the four important States of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee.

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 bps, six embroidered gloves, and only one pair of ears had not been pierced.
