Gloves, the crowning finish of a well dressed woman's costume in public, have been of late years greatly misused in American society. One sees them worn at tea tables by the woman elected to represent the hostess in ponring tea. and even at dinner tables, where the wear era have been known to sit through many courses with their right hands bared, the hand of the right glove tucked nnder the wrist, and the eutire left glove kept on. From time immemo rial the habitual dinner goers of good society have removed both gloves imme diately after taking their places at the table, and have resumed them npon re turning to the drawing room, or after using the finger bowls, and before aris ing from the feast. Any departure from accepted custom that has only eccentricity or a desire for innovation to recommend it should be avoided; hence there seems no cause for taking np the enriovts fashion jnst men tioned, probably set in a heedless mo ment by some leader of rogue or by an anfortuuate woman of rank whose hand was made unpresentable, by adistiguriug injury. Ladies Home Journal. Jenny Llnd's Frankness. Jenny Lind's judgment of books, though undirected by anything like lit erary training, always showed independ ence and penetration. She was a de voted lover of Carlyle's writings, and the last book she read before her death was Mr. Norton's volume of the corre spondence between Carlyle and Emer son. No doubt ber admiration for the great denouncer of shams was largely due to the intense sincerity of her own character, which made it impossible for her to tolerate even those slight devia tions from strict truthfulness which are seldom taken seriously, I mt are looked npon as the accepted formula of society. "I am so glad to see you" would hardly have been her greeting to a visitor whose call was inconvenient or ill timed. But, on the other hand, her dowurightness of speech had nothing in common with that of Mrs. Candour; it carried no dis courtesy with it. R. J. McNeill in Cen tury. Mixed Relationship.

The oldest one of the Runk boys married one of the widow's daughters. The yonng man's father married the other daughter. The other one of the boys married the mother.

EMINENT PHYSICIANS DIFFER RE GARDING THE CAUSE. Imbocllle Babies Sever Cry Tearful In Aaooo of Pins. Colle. Hunger find Thirst EfTect of Mourning Attire on Young Rabies Regular flablta. Although all babies are not crybabies, all babies cry. Crying and babies go together just as bam and eggs do, liver and bacon, hooks and eyes, shoes and stocking bread and butter. The angelic baby whose wings de crease as bis legs increase is the only ani mal that wastes his vitality in promiscuous yelling. And yet there is philosophy in the tuneless music of iufancy not generally understood by the world at Iwve. Although involuntary, a well organized baby will show as much intelligence in his ciying as bis parents may in thinking. Being the anchor of its mother, no one should know more about the subject than mothers, hut uufoitunately no medical or professional women with children could be induced to express au opinion as to why a baby cries. Of the fifteen women doctors seen only three had babies of their own, one had an urgent case to attend and begged to be ex cused, the other was in a hurry to catch a train, and the third remarked, with mas culine emphasis, that she had no time to bother with reporters. The followiug opinions, most cheerfully expressed by some of the representative members of the New York Medical society, will he read with lioth Interest and pleas ura by every mother and lover of a baby. oTFFKHINO OKTKX TDK CAUSR. Dr. Jaueway Kabies crying are babies speaking. It is their protest against pain, ill usage or neglect. But one mother knows more about the causes than 40.000 doctors. Dr. J. V. Dowling A baby does not cry aimlessly. If there is a pin In bis flesh, if his stomach Is full of wind, if be has indi gestion, coltl feet or a headache lie will cry long and loud. Me will cry, too, if be is hungry, thirsty, sleepy, angry, hot or cold. The colicky cry is loud, emnlmtio and im pressive; it hns a businesslike. Imperative, ring to it that calls for immediate and remedial attention. When the brain Is affected the cry is sharp and shrill, amounting to a shriek at times, and is indicative of intense and un bearable pain. A cry of this sort is pos itively agonizing to the listeners, for there is no mistaking the pain felt by the little one. Then there Is the teething cry a pitiful. Incessant, uuremitting little whine tiiat Is at times incisive and petulant, and accom panied by restlessness and ill temper. The hungry cry is a bawl, vehement, eager, ur gent and impatient. The sleepy cry is something of a wail, but not tearful as a rule. The child is fre quently sweet tempered, though indifler ent, generally nervous and heavy eyed. The vicious cry, caused by retttraiutor (lis appointment, la noisy, clamorous, lusty and rebellious; there is more rolumo of voice than tears, the quality and size of the tone dependiug npon the anger if the little one. It Is a good test of the condition of the respiratory organs, and can be maintained for hours by a stroug, healthy child. If it has Inherited the willful, domineering traits of a parent or grandparent. It may throw itself on the floor, kick, scream and roll about for variety and keep up the howl until the opponent yields or it has exhaust ed Its lung power. Thousands of times plus are the cause of Infantile outbursts No baby will cry if it Is well and happy. Crying is a demonstra tion of suffering, discomfort, neglect or hereditary viciousiiess. II UNO Ell, TIII1IST AND PEAR. Dr. Sumner A Mason A baby docs most of his crying because he ia huugry. The cry of thirst, while oot frequent. Is iuvarl ably taken for grief, anger or sleepiness, and the mother spends hours patting and rocking the youngster, when a tablespoon ful of cold water would make him perfect ly happy. Aside from the cry caused by hunger, thirst and teething, there are ul most as many other cries as there are lu fantile disorders. For Instance, there ts the expiratory moan in pneumouia, and the husky cry that follows the coughing, there Is the broken cry In croup, bronchitis and pleur isy; the continuous cry of earache, the shrill cry, accompanied by a drawing up of the legs, in stomach ache, the scream lng, and wriggling of the hips In Intestinal pain, Irritability of the bladder, the wbiu lng cry if meningitis, when the baby fan cies a bright light, and there la the silent cry when the muscles of the face coutract, but some mechanical obstruction of the air passages occurs, anil there is not enough strength to produce sound. Dr. J. Iewis Smith The instants child Is born it cries. This la a providential ex panaion of the lungs and not, aa many sup pose, an Indication of suffering or pain. If the babe does not cry, we slap it aud chafe it until the cry that Is to open the organs of respiration is heard. Well developed, well formed and healthy babies cry lustily at birth, while the weak child has a feeble little cry. for the llrst few mouths, vary ing with the bodily condition of the baie, the cry Is tearless, anil it is nut till the sec ond year that the lachrymal or tear ducts are fully developed After that there ia a copious shedding, and a very slight cause will lead to crying. Children are not born without fear, and at sight of a strange person, object or an animal a baby of average intelligence will cry A black dog, black cat or a horse will produce more disturbance in the mind of , a baby than a white kitten, canary bird or a white rabbit.

Dr. Rhett Goode, the well known surgeon of this city, tells a story which is certainly one of the most remarkable ever recorded. It is a fish story, hut a true one. The doctor, with Messrs. W. H. Barney, E. O. Zadek and W. C. Gellibrand, was the guest of Captain J. W. Black, manager of the Sullivan Timber company, on an ex cursion down the day. The party reached Tort Morgan early iu the morning, and spent the day lu fishiug, enjoying excellent sport. Mr. Barney brought two shark lines and cast them early in the day, but not until afternoon, wheu the party was at dinner, did he get a bite. Then the Usher men pulled in two modi-rate sized sharks, oue about five feet long aud the other about seven feet long. When the fish, after considerable excitement, were pulled up on the wharf they were given their quietus with an ax. Some time after it was suggested that Dr. Goode open the sharks and recover whatever gold watches. Auger riugs, etc., their stomachs should be found to coutain. The doctor opened the seven footer, and then plied the knife on the smaller shark. The story, as he tella it, is as follows: "I made a straight incision and opened the body of the shark. I took out the stomach, the alimentary canal and the In testines, and, haviug examiued the stom ach, threw those organs over into the water. Having a curiosity to see how large a heart such a fish has I cut iuto t he diaphragm and extracted the heart. This organ, 1 found, was about the size of an egg, rather small, I thought, for so large a fish. The curious thing alwtit it was that it continued to pulsate after I had taken it from the fish. It beat regularly for a minute or more, lying there in my hand. When It stopped beating I pricked it with the knife, and it again pulsated for a short time. It was perfectly empty of blood. "Meantime the pilot aud others pitched the seven foot shark off the wharf, aud it sauk to the bottom. We could see it plain ly through the clear water. They then took the smaller shark, all of whose In ternal organs 1 hail removed, and whose heart I held in my hand, and threw It Into the water. You can judge of our surprise to scs thul shark swisu its tail around and flap Ha fins from side to side, and theu swim briskly away until it disappeared." "It went with the current?" "Yea, but it was swimming. We all saw it as plain as could be. The other shark sank like a shot; this one swam straight away, as naturally as any fish," "Was the fish apparently dead when you cut it up?" "Yes. It did not make a single move all the time I was cutting It. The way that dissected fish did beats anything I ever heard of or over Imagined. We could see it for twenty or thirty yards as it swam away. It made the pilots down there open their eyes, I assure you." Mr, Zadeck, who was present when the doctor described this curious happening, said, when referred to, that it was "a true bill" the most wonderful thing he evor saw. Mobile Register. The Perfect Dancer. The talent la Inborn, nut to be acquired. People are born dancers, as they are bori, singers and mesmerists. Training Is ueo sssary to strengthen and make flexible the muscles of the. body, as training Is neces sary to give the singer control of her great voles. But you can no more make a dancer by training than you can a prima donna. The raw material must be there, some times to let itself be shaped and subdued by cultivation, sometimes to submit to It Impatiently, and, the beat of the musio calling, to cast away the restrictions of training and plunge Into the exaltation of the dance with the spontaneity of one who was created a dancer by nature. About the talent of the real dancer there la something of mystery. A pulse beats In ber feet that gives ber a mystio grace awarded to no other. Iu the rise and full of the music she finds woven paces that no other eye can see. With a weird iutultion, Incomprehensible to herself, she Is able to Interpret Iuto movement the secret spirit of the meloJy, to give form aud color to the composer's fantasies, richer aud more beautiful than any he had ever dreamed of. The gift baa come to her from what un known sources, through what unlmagined Intricacies of herediiyl Hundreds have come and gone, each adding his quota to this talent which breaks Into actual life lu ber. For a fleeting moment on the stage she seems to live In a world separate aud apart, and to be inspired In ber wild move ment by the same spirit that Inspired Sa lome when she danced off John the Bap tist's bead. San Francisco Argonaut. A Petrified Salmon. Henry Benson, of Hnyden Hill, Lassen county, Cal., has in his possession a speci men of petrified salmon. The former fleshy parts resemble crystallized and varie gated quartz, retaining in part the yellow lsn color of the salmon, and what was formerly the akin of the fish Is now a sort of porcelain as hard aa pure white flint. The texture of the entire specimen is that of hardest quarts. It was found on a hill side at about 1,500 feet altitude from th floor of "Big Valley," and was evidently petrified at the point where found. This would Indicate that the salmon formerly Inhabited the ancient rivers, the beds of which now form parts of the strata of tbs Sierra Nevada mountains, aud Id which an eient channels lie tbs rich deposits of Call fundsa gold. These ancient river beds, as Is well known, are found at various height above the sea level, and lu some places but a few hundred feet below the crests of the bigli est ranges, and perhaps hundreds of feet below the present formation of the surface of the earth, and running entirely Inde pendent of any present formation. To de term i lie with certainty that this salmon In habited these ancient rivers would be an Interesting fact, as It would fix at a much later date thau Is now generally supposed the grologlctl period when, by mighty up heavals, these old river course were changed and obliterated from the face of the earth, and gigautia mountains formed In their stead. tit.
