The Way he Unfortonata Ml tea Are
Clothed and Doctored.
They (Arabian bnbles) nro rubbed
with brown powder ns soon as they tire
born, and their eyelids are painted;
then Instead of being dressed In soft
flannels they are wrapped In cnlleo and
tied tip like n bundle so tight tbnt they
cannot move hands or feet; then tight
hoods are put on their bends with blue
bends sewed on the front to keep off
the evil eye. These babies cry u good
deal, it ml I should think they would.
They ennnot move, and flies nnd other
Insects rrawl aver them nnd blto them,
and (lie Band gets In their eyes and
hurts them.
When n baby Is about six weeks old
n sacrifice Is offered, ami the baby s
hulr Is cut and weighed, nnd the snuie
weight In sliver Is given to tbe poor.
If he hasn't more hair than some of
our six weeks' babies Us weight In
gold or even diamonds might be given
and not make the poor much richer or
the parents much poorer. The mother
puts charms on bis neck and anus, and
a Terse from the Koran Is written and
put la a little sliver or leather case and
bung about his neck to keep off evil.
If be is sick this Is his medicine: A
verse from the Koran Is written with
Ink on pnperj then the Ink is washed
off, and the Inky water Is given l;!ui
Ko drink. I wish you could see the fun
jny little cradles these bnhles sleep In.
fTliey are made of date sticks fitted to
gether. The rocker? ore almost fiat.
so when the poor thing Is rocked be Is
so shaken tip that It Is a wonder If he
Is not seasick. I am sure any good
American baby would rebel at such
treatment. Record of Christian Work.
DRESDEN POLICE.
Origin of the Tent.
An ancient Taltnudlc legend relates
that Adam on bis expulsion from para
dise encountered a cutting north wind,
against which bis scnut girdle of llg
leaves proved poor protection. As he
wistfully cast his eyes over the deso
late plnln of Bhlnnr be perceived at a
great distance a dead thorn bush.
Running thither, be crouched behind it.
nnd while still shivering he saw a wild
ass come by. And Adam cried to the
beast to Ho down ulougside and keep
hi in warm. But the ass spake out
("for asses sometimes spake lu those
days as since," sulth the commentator),
and derided him for not having a
warm coat of fur, whereupon A tin m
waxed wroth and slew tlio ass with a
piece of the thorn tree and. with tertb
and nails stripping off the uss' coat
wrapped It around himself. But to
ward noon, the bud growing hot and
u seorchliig wind arising. Adam con
ceived the huppy thought of banging
the Bklu over the bush and reposing In
tbe shade thereof. It was done, the
tent was Invented, and civilization he
gun. Outing.
Mrs. Ituoton and Bad Children.
Elizabeth Cndy Stanton was fond of
children, though not of bad ones.
Ouco in IioBton she wus calling on a
youug woman whoso little son, a par
ticularly vicious urchin, played about
ber while she conversed.
The child would pull bis mother's
hulr. kick nud thump ber, uor did he
hesitate to try now and then these
tricks upon Mrs. Stanton.
She said calmly. "You aro a bad boy,
aren't you?"
"llo Is a bad boy," bis mother in a
sad, hurt tone confessed.
"I prefer bad children, though," said
Mrs. Stanton.
' "Do you?" cried tlio young mother.
"Why?"
"IIccuiihh." said Mrs. Stanton, "they
are usually sent out of the room."

liOiiwevlf jr of Animals.
Statistics of the longevity of animals
may not be very accurate, but they are
Interesting reading. Among tbe larger
species of cuttle there Is some approach
to uniformity. Thus for the horse and
donkey the extreme limit is about .'13
yours and for homed cuttle about !!0.
For the dug it Is given as 25, while
sheep, goats, pigs and cats aro grouped
at 15. Among birds the disparities In
length of life are very remarkable.
While a goose may live to be 30 years
of uge, a sparrow 25 and a crow 100,
ducks, hens and turkeys die of old age
at 12. The palm for longevity Is divid
ed between the elephant and the par
rot, which both often pass the century.
The swan and the eagle also ore very
long lived.
Twelve Miles an Hour.
At the beginning of the last century
the royal college of Bavarian phy
sicians sought to forbid steam railway
travel because It would Induce de
lirium furlosum among tbe passengers
and drive tbe spectators crazy, while
an English quarterly said that It would
as soon expect the peoplo to suffer
themselves to be tlod to one of Con
grove's rockets as to trust themselves
to tbe mercy of a locomotive going at
tbe prodigious rate of twelve miles an
pour.

When be was at bis work ber face was

One advantage accrues to the re 'c
table member -f the community fr m
the minuteness with which the lin
den police look Into the a flairs of cv. ry
inhabitant of tl.e city. If he Is n cr. .e
I'nl man and always carries pup.Ts
which may serve to establish 1 1 1m Iden
tity he Is practically Immune from i lie
indignity of being arrested mid mat, li
ed off to the police station unless. In
deed, he commits some especially I vi
llous crime. Does he drive faster th in
the law penults, does he cross a In li'go
on the left band side, be Is stopped by
the guardian of law and on! t and re
jucHted to give his tiiiine. if he I ns
his papers with him the policeman m.iy
then nud there Impose n line of frim
I to 3 murks. If then he admits tl.at
be Is In tbe wrong and pays the I. tie
the incident Is closed. If, however, ho
wishes to appeal from the pollceuia i's
decision he may do so. Even In that
case he Is not arrested, but a day or
two later be Is notified to appear In
court nnd answer to the charge against
him. But then if he Is found guilty
the lowest Hue that can be Imposed
Is 3 marks. That this custom of per
mitting the policeman personally to I n
pose small fines is little understood by
foreigners Is shown by a remark ini.de
to me by u gentleman who hud lived
In Germany the greater part of his I f t
and In Dresden for n number of yer.rs.
In reply to my Inquiry ns to whether
there wns ever any question of cor
ruption In the police department he re
plied: "No; none whatever as far as the
higher oflicers are concerned. The in
dividual men, however, may be brlb'd
occasionally. I'or Instance, If I were
to walk on the grass In the Grosser
gnrten and a policeman caught me nt
It 1 would give him a mark or two,
nnd that would end the matter." Phil

favorite wood of civilized Europe, a id
specimens of. carving and Interior
