H«w «. Ocfmu Baby la SvvntheS.
Of all housewives In Europe proba
bly the German is the hardest worked,
and of all European mothers the titer-
man practices most completely the art
of swathing and padding her baby and
of putting it on the shelf. The German
baby is swaddled in a loug, narrow pil
low, which Is made to meet completely
round him, being tucked up over Ills
feet and turned under bis solemn chin.
Three bands of gay blue ribbons ure
then passed round tbc whole bundle
auil tied tu large, llorld bows about
where his chest, Ids waist and his an
kles may lie supposed to be.
In this guise he can be deposited tM
an ornament either on the sumptuous
best bed or ou the kitchen dresser or
on the drawing room table. How fond
the Gerntans are of this presentment of
baby may lie guessed from the fact
that It figures largely In their picture
books, among fbojr dolls and oven In
the bakers’ shops at master time, made
of dough and covered with sugar, to be
devoured, by greedy live babies.—

A simple Ifiuntratlou w.lfl show the

Then all the cards and letters to one
correspondent are put In a single en

officers and the like, the bank comes as
near as possible to get Its entire mull
carried at 2 cents an ounce or a cent
for every postal card Instead of often
paying 2 cents for a quarter of an
ounce, us It would buve to do If every

A Chicago Alderman Owes His Elec
tion to Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy.
“I can heartily nnd conscientiously
recommend Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy for affections of the throat and
lungs,” says Hon. John Shenick, 220 Ho.
Peoria St., Chicago. ‘‘Two years ago
during a political campaign, I caught
cold after being overheated, which ir
ritated my throat nnd I was finally com
l>elled to stop, as I could not sjteak
aloud. In my extremity a friend ad
vised me to use Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy. I took'two doses that ufter-
noon and could not believe my senses
when I found the next morning the in
flammation had largely subsided. I took
soveral doses that day, kept right on
talking through the campaign, and I
thank this medicine that I won my seat
in the Council." This remedy is for

Lend Pipe to Keep Humor Sharp.
“Lead pipe will knap your razor
sharp,” conllded (he garrulous barber.
"Get a short piece of the smallest,
softest lend pipe your plumber 1ms in
stock, uud keep II handy when you are
stropping the razor.
"The scheme Is lo rub the strop with
the pipe. It works best with a plain
leather strop. Apply the pipe, Jusl as'
you would strop tho razor, to (lie tin-
finished side of the leather. Strop your |
razor on that side, wind up with a few ’
passes on the llnlshed side of the strop
‘and you will lmve 11 first class edge on
the tool. I never took the trouble to
get a scientific explanation of llie vlr
tijos of lead pipe as 1111 aid to wind ting,

Mutilations.

tian church 011c finds It. difficult lo be
lieve, yet the ecclesiastical authorities
Inflicted It for comparatively trivial of
fenses, and several councils emphatic
ally attempted to suppress It. Thus tho
thirteenth canon of the council of Meri
da, In (180, deprived bishops nnd priests
of the right, of mutilating the servants
of the church, The sixth canon of the
council of Toledo, In (175, while forlild-
| ding bishops to exercise exclusive Ju
risdiction In offenses Involving tho cap
ital penalty, also Interdicted them from
ordering mutilation of ttto limbs, even
lu the cast* of their own serfs, and or
dained that bishops violating this law
should he deposed, excommunicated
and denied the lust rites of llit* church
when In urtleulo mortis. The eighteenth

How It Affects Them.
An Alpine guide who has had many
years’ experience in mountaineering
thus describes the behavior of differ
ent nationalities when they get to the
top of a poult.
A German, ho sayH; ns soon as he ar
rives at the top wants to know the ex
act height of the mountain he is on and
of every peak around him.
• A Frenchman goes Into raptures over
the wildness of the scenery and the
beauties of nature and sometimes ac
companies his remarks by an attempt
to embrace bis guide.
The Englishman, when ho has “done”
his peak, plunges his Ice ax Into the
snow, looks around him and then says,
"I say, open the baskets and let’s buve
something to oat.”
Lonirth of the Luvr.
The phrase “the length of the law”
owes Its origin to the enormous length
of some of the parchment rolls upon
which tho ancient statutes of Grout
Britain were Inscribed. The present
(Jay official title of the “muster of the
rolls” is a reminder of this ancient cus
tom. Some faint Idea of the bulk of
the English records may be obtained
from the fact, that a single statute, the
land tax commissioners' act, passed
In the first year of the reign of George
IV., measures when unrolled upward
of W0 feet!

The fishing frog buries himself In tho

open, lie fishes for Ills dinner. On tho
hack of Ills head there are three spines,
the longest of which he bends forward
In front of IiIm mouth, gently Hwnylng
It In the water. At last It attracts a
young fish, which makes a spring for
the supposed worm, when—snap—tho
mouth Is elost'd and Mr. Fishing Frog
has had Ills dinner. The archer fish
catches Ills dinner In quite a different

the most curious beliefs of all—one
closely akin to a certain ancient orien

the rolling of the sea is caused by a
