    CITY WAIFS.
Taking Care of Lost Children in
the Metropolis.
Parents Seeking their Little
Ones at Police Headquarters.
A great policeman, big enough and
strong enough to havo fcllel a horse
with a single blow, carrying in his arms
a little golden haired girl, upon whose
sleeping face the tears had washed cloan
J>lacos in the dust and grime, walked
briskly toward Polico Headquarters in
New York city. The child was slumber
ing as comfortably as though she had boen
in tho little crib at home, and the offi
cer was as tender as if the little one
was his own and helped make sunshine
in his home on his days off duty. Half
a dozen children of tho street, quick to
catch sight of tho pair, followed close
on the big policeman's heels until, says
a San scribe, he went up tho steps to
tho marblo building in Mulberry street,
and was lost to view behind the swing
ing doors.
Bluff Sergeant Kclleher was on duty,
and when he saw tho little bundle of
humanity brought in, he sat down at
his desk and began to turn, in a busi
nesslike way, tho leaves of an enormous
book which lay in front of him. Ho
kept turning until he came to the page
whore he had written last. Then, after
carefully adjusting his eyeglasses, and
dipping his pen in the big inkstand, he
queried:
"Boy or girl, officer I"
"Girl." «
"How old ?"
"'Bout four years."
"Whore did you get her ?'*
"Sixty-fifth street and Third avenue. "
"Take her upstairs."
"Upstairs" meant to the top floor of
the big building where Matron Webb
presides and acts tho part of foster
mother to the waifs and strays ami
foundlings of this big city who are
picked up by tlia police.
The same scenes are enacted overy
night, and each day sees the pages of
the big book which Sergeant Kclleher
keeps fill up one by one with the brief
stories and records of lost children.
Every night in the year fathers and
mothers visit P.dico Headquarters and
nsk for the children who have been lost
during the day. On pleasant evenings
they sit on the stone steps and wait, if
the child has not already been found,
and on storm/ nights they go home, to
return again later on.
A woman conjos running down the
street. She is one of tho East side poor.
A shawl answers the purpose of cloak
aud hat. She stops long enough to ask
of an idler ou the corner:
"Where is tho headquarters?"
"Down where you see the greon
light," is always the answer nnd she is
off again. Up the steps she runs eager
ly. As she passes the swinging doors
she almost runs dawn old Joe, tho door
man, who keeps a little private record
on a slate of tho children who aro
brought in during the night. Joe's
voice is gruff, but it belies his nature.
"What's tho matter?" he growls.
"Have ye found me baby?" and the
toil worn hands clutch nervously at the
frayed edges of the old red shawl.
"Boy or girl?"
"A little girl with light hair."
"Go upstairs and look—top floor."
The stairs are steep and tiresomo to
climb, but mothers on such errands
don't tire easily, and up sho goes. Five
minutes later a step is heard on the
stairway. She is coming down again
and the red shawl is the background for
a head of golden hair. Two dirty,
Chubby hands arc about her neck. The
woman is smiling now. Sle isabout to
go out to the street, but Old Joe again
Is in the way.
"Go in there and give your name,"
bnd he points to S rgoant Kelleher, and
chirrups at tho baby.
Tho sergcint takes tho woman's name
»nd address, and, hugging the lost one
lightly, the woman passes out into the
iitreet.
Stowaways.
The ship was hardly well out on the
ocean when two stowaways made their
appearanco, and later in the day five
Inore. The next morning six moro
Came up, and during the two following
days they kept coming up in twos and
threes until they numbered 25 all told.
Tho ship sceme l to be teeming with
stowaways, and the officer on watch
was fairly bowildered. There was a
plaintive pleading in his voice as he
Baid to the last comer: "Say, hadn't
you better send the rest up at onco ?''
"They are all up now, sir," replied the
stowaway with repressed cheerfulness,
and the officer gave a sigh of
relief. Whon the vessel arrived at Que
bec the captain scut a dispatch ashore
with tho pilot boat to be forwarded to
Montreal, asking that a detachment of
<he harbor polico be at hand when the
vessel came alongside, to arrest th
men. The police were in readiness oa
the wharf, but the steamer stranded in
midstream, and lighters had to be sent
off to relieve her of part of the cargo.
One of the lighters was alongside when
darkness came on, and she had to lio to
until sunrise. When the lighter was
fully loaded she drew to the wharf to
discharge, but hardly was she moorod
whon there was a movement among
somo sacks and a stowaway leaped out
and made a break for the wharf. An
other immediately sprang out from the
other side, and in another instant the
whole deck of the lighter was alivo
with stowaways, running up the wharves
and leaping over the obstacles that came
in their way. The captain was power
less with amazement, and did nothing
but stand and look on in a daz:d sort
of a way. When the last of them had
cleared the vessel's side and things had
quieted down a bit, he recovered him
seif, and, walking over to the sacks, ho
poked Carefully about among thorn, but
linding nothing he resumed his former
position. Suddenly another stowaway,
who had been unable to get out with
the rest, jumped up and cleared. This
was too much, and tho captain shouted,
"If there's any more passengers going
ashore they had better go now. " But
tho whole consignment had escaped free
of duty. Chambers' Journal.
Chinamen as Smokers.
The Chinese smoke early and often,
and it is as good as a play to watch one
of the nobles of China using tobacco.
He prefers tho water-pipe, and he has
a servant who puts tho pipe-stem in his
mouth, and waits till he has taken half
a dozen whiffs before ho carries it away
again. The smoke comes bubbling
through tho liquid, and the almond eyes
of the Celestial spark e with enjoyment
as tho nicotine enters his blood. Li
Hung Chang smokes in this way, says
Frank Carpenter in the Courier- JjurnU,
and during the interview which i had
with him at Tien Tsin, his servant lie d
u pipe with a stem at least four feet
long to his lip-«, and ligiitc I it for him
at intervals of ten m nu.es. Tile great
viceroy took about ten whiffs at a time,
and then the servant toon; the pipe
away, pulled out its metal bowl, aud
refilled it with tobacco, bringing it
back a littlo later oil to patiently hold
it to his excellency's lips while he
sm iked.
Tho Chinese do not u;e cigars nor
clicw. Tney have a tobacco much like
the American pigtail twist, which they
cut up for smoking, and they are iargely
addicted to snuff. You will find snuff
stores in the larger cities, and tho ar
ticle use 1 is oarsir than the Scotch
snuff. The wonun smoke, and not a
few of the boys and men are addicted
to the use of cigarettes. The average
Chinese cigarotte is tho poorest and
cheaptst in tho world. You can get
three of them for one-tenth of a cent,
and they are dear at that.
A Famous Wooden Leg.
A celebrated wooden leg has been
discovered in an old V ncennes shop,
which was once a smithy. Thero is
abundant evidence to prove that the
relic in question is the sham limb which
replaced tho log which General Dau
mesnil lost in the big wars of the First
Napoleon. This rugged old wairior
defended tho fortress of Vincennes
agaiust the allied army, and is famous
for having said to the invadors, when
summoned to give up tho place, "Bring
me back m/ leg which you shot off and
you shall have my keys!" The wooden
leg now found had been sent by Dau
mesnil to a Vincennes smith in order to bo
".>hod,'' as the general himself
expressed it. Before the article was
sent back the old warrior diedsuldenly
and his sham limb remained in the
ancient smithy until the presont day.
It will now be p'aced in the artillery
museum of tho Hotel (lei Invalides
among many other martial and historic
souvenirs. — L>nd'»i Telegraph.
The East Indies.
The name East Indies is now gener
ally disused; it was former.y applied
vagnoly to that part of Sou",hern Asia
lying east of the t'.ve- In lus and to tho
islands adjacent. Thus it took in on
the mainland Ilindostan, Burmah, Siam,
Annam and Malacca and tho islands of
Ceylon, Sumatra, Java, liorne >, the
Celebes, the Philppinos and tho rest of
the great archipelago. More recent y,
according to Coiton's atlas, the name
was applied to these placet, excluding
Ilindostan and Ceylon. So the term
takes in both mainland and islands.

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.
That a sealskin sacque doei not al
ways keep the heart warm.
Hospitality sometimes degenerates in
to profuseness and ends in madness and
folly.
It is better to sacrifice one's lovo of
sarcasm than indulge it at tho expense
of a friend.
That "doing as woll as you know
how" is all right if you always know
how to do well.
We should do by timo as wo do by a
torrent, mako use of it while we may
have it, for it will not last always.
The surest way of governing both in

a husband and a prince sometimes to
drop their prerogative.
There are certain garbs and modes of
speaking which vary with the time*;
the fashion of our clotho3 being not
more subject to alterations than that of
our speech.
Some people will say things about
other people without thinking that
other people can say things about some
people as big as beams compared with

Throw physic to tho dogs, if the

The Women of Touqnin.
Both men and women in To iq lin
wear their hair long and twisted u;>
into a kind of chignon on tho top of
tho head. It is, of course, always
lanky and jet black. Their dress is of
the most simplo kind. Tho men wear
a loose ja 'kot and trousers, and tho
women wear a long, straight shift
reaching from neck to heels. The An
namito man is a very poor creature, and
it is only among the upper classes that
one sees occassanally a well-formed or
handsome face, with sorao elevation or
dignity of expression. Tho women aro
much better looking, and would often
be pretty except for tho stained mouth
and teeth, which renders thein horrib'e
to a European eye. But in figure they
are much tho more favored of any seen
in the East, and in tho course of a walk
in Hanoi, tho principal city of tho
country, you may meet a dozen who are
straight enough and strong enough and
shapely enough to serve as a sculptor's
model. Their native danc-j is a bur
lesque of the Japanese, to tho nccom.

Tho Snow Flower.
Count Authoskoll's curious discov
ery of the snow flower is likely to inter
est floriiulturists for sometime to come,
as from the accounts given of it, it ap
pears to ba not only a re mirk able but a
singularly beautiful plant. It wat dis
covered on the perpetually frozju ground
of Siberia, but Count Anthosk. (I has
succeeded in raising plants from seed
placed in a pot of snow at St. Petir,-
burg. The bloom lasts only for a
single day, and comes once ia two
years. A French contemporary thus
describes it: The leaves are three in
number, aud each about three inche ■ in
diameter. They are developed only on
that side of the stem toward the north,
and each seems covered with micro
scopic crystals of snow. The flown
when it opens is star shaped, its petals
of tho same length at the leaves, and
about half an inch in width. — Londtn

How SIIO Counts Her Children.

Origin of the Diamond.
Some theories about the origin of the
diamond are very ingenious and interest
ing, though the amount of truth they
emhody remains to be proved. It has
been suggested that the vapors of carbon
during'tho coal period may have been
condensed and ervstalized into the dia
mond; and again, the itacolumite, gen
erally regarded as the matrix, was sat
urated with petroleum, which, collecting
in nodules, formed the gem by gradual
crystalization. Newton believed it to
have been a coagulated, unctuous sub
stance, of vegetable origin, and was sus
tained in the theory by many eminent
philosophers, including Sir David Brew
ster, who believed the diamond was once
u mass of gum, derived from certain
species of wood, and that it subsequently
assumed a crystaline form.
Dana and others advance the opinion
that it may have been produced by the
slow decomposition of vegetable material
and even from animal matter. Burton
says it is younger than gold and sug
gests the possibility that it may still be
in process of formation, with capacity of
growth. Specimens of the diamond
have been found to inclose particles of
gold—an evidence, he thinks, that its
formation was more recent than that of
the precious metal. The theory that the
diamond was formed immediately from
carbon by the action of heat is opposed
by another, maintaining that it could
not have been produced in this way,
otherwise it would have been consumed.
But the advocates of this view were not
quite 011 their guard against a surprise,
for some quick-witted opponent has
found by experiments that the diamond
will sustain great heat without combus
tion.—American Analyst.

and the driver is a wise man, you will find that ho
