Hla Mother's roddlng.
A man who did not keen in miud that In
boyhood he ate his food with a better sauce
than any cook ever invented was in tbe
habit a habit mid to be common of mak
ing his wife uncomfortable by a too fre
quent reference to his mother's wonderful
eallnary skill.
Once, however, he was put to silence for
few days at least.
"John," said his wife, "I wish yon would
tell me jnst how your mother made her
plum pudding. Then perhaps I could suit
yon." '
"Why, she took some raisins and stirred
em up with pudding and baked ik That's

"But, John, real plum pudding ia
boiled."
"Oh. of course. Mother always boiled it

Jenny Lind's judgment of books.
though undirected by anything like lit
erary training, always showed iudepend
ence and penetration. She waa a de
moted 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. Mo doubt her admiration for the
great denouncer of shams was largely
dne to the intense sincerity of her own
character, which made it impossible for
ner to tolerate even those slight devia
tions from strict truthfulness which are
seldom taken seriously, hut are looked
upon as the accepted formula of society.
i am so giaa to see yon would hardly
have been her greeting to a vwitor whose
call was inconvenient or ill timed. But,
on the other hand, her downrisrhtness of
speech had nothing in common with
that of Mrs. Candour; it carried no dis
courtesy with it. B. J. McNeill in Cen
tury. Mixed Relationship.
There is a family in the southern part
of the county whose complicated rela
tionship beats anything upon record.
The family name is Bunk. A few years
ago the Bunk family consisted of father
and two grown sons. In the same neigh
borhood there lived a widow and her
two comely daughters. The oldest one
of the Bunk boys married one of the
widow's daughters. The young man's
father married the other danghter. The
other one of the boys married the
mother. The question that now both

81TTTHK1KO OKTKN THK CAUSR.
Dr. Janeway Bubiea crying are babiea
speaking, it is their protest against pain,
111 usage or neglect But one mother
knows more about the causes than 40.000
doctors.
Dr. J. W. Dowling A baby doea not cry
aimlessly. ' If there ts a pin in his flesh, if
his stomach is full of wind, if he baa indi
gestion, cold feet or a headache he will cry
long and loud. He will cry, too, if he is
buogry, thirsty, sleepy, anjrry. hot or cold.
The colicky cry ia loud, emphatic and Im
pressive; it baa a businesslike. Imperative,
ring to it that calls for immediate and
remedial attention.
When the brain la affected the crv ts
snarp ana snnii, amounting to a shriek at
times, and is Indicative of intense and nil-
bearable pain. A cry of this sort is dob-
itively agonizing to tbe listeners, for there
la no mistaking the pain felt by the little
one.
Then there is the teethlnjt crv a nitiful.
Incessant, unremitting little whine that ia
at times incisive and petulant, and accom
panied by restlessness and ill temper. The
hungry cry is a bawL vehement, easer. ur
gent and impatient.
The sleepy cry ia something of a wall.
but not tearful as a rule Tbe child is fre
quently sweet tempered, though ludiffer
ent, generally nervous and heavy eyed.
The vicious cry, caused by restraintor dis
appointment, ia noisy, clamorous, lusty
and rebellious; there is more volume of
voice than tears, tbe quality and size of
the tone depending upon the anger of the
utile one.
It is a good test of the condition of the
respiratory organs, and can be maintained
for hours by a strong, healthy child If it
has inherited tbe willful, domineering
traits of a parent or grandparent, it may
in row itaeu on toe uoor, Kick, scream and
roll about for variety and keep up tbe howl
until tbe opponent yields or it has exhaust
ed ita lung power.
Thousands of times pins are the cause of
Infantile outbursts. No baby will cry if it
la well and bappy. Crying ia a demonstra
tion of sutTeriug, discomfort, neglect or
hereditary vicioiuineas.
HUNGER, TUIKST ANIl TEAR.
Dr. Sumner A Mason A baby does moet
of his crying because be is hungry. The
cry of thirst, while not frequent, is invari
ably taken for grief, anger or sleepiness,
and the mother spends hours patting and
rocaing tne yoangster. wben a tableaooon-
fnl of cold water would make him perfect
ly happy. Aside from tbe cry caused by
hunger, thirst and teething, there are al
most as many other cries as there are In
fantile disorders.
For instance, there Is tbe expiratory
moan in pneumonia, and the hnskv crv
that follows tbe coughing, there is the
broken cry In croup, bronchitis and pleur
isy; the Continuous crv Of earache, the
shrill cry, accompanied by a drawing up
of the legs. In stomach ache, the scream
lng, and wriggling of tbe hips in intestinal
pain, irritability of tbe bladder, tbe whin
lng cry of meningitis, wben tbe babv fan
cies a bright light, and there ts the silent
cry wben the muscles of the face contract.
uut some mecnanical obstruction of tbe air
passages occurs, and there ia not enough
strength to produce sound.
Dr. J. Lewis Smith The instant a nhlUl
ts born it cries. This is a providential ex
pension of the lungs and not, as many sup
pose, an Indication of suffering or nain. tf
tbe babe does not cry, we slap it and chafe
it until tne cry tbat is to ooen the nrimnM
oi respiration la beard. We 1 develnned
well formed and bealtbv babiea erv Instilv
at birth, while the weak child baa a feeble
little cry. for the first few months, nrr
lng with the bodily condition of the babe.
tbe cry Is tearless, and it is not till the sec
ond year that the lachrymal or tear ducts
are runy developed. After that there is
coploussbeddmg, and a very slight cause
win lean to crying.
Children are not born without fear, and
at sixht of a strange Demon, object or an
animal a baby of average intelligence will
cry. A oiack doir, black cat or a horse will
produce more disturbance in the mind of
baby than a white kitien. canary bird or

SWAM AWAY WITHOUT ITS HEART.
A Mobile Doctor Tells a Most Remark
able Story of a nu.cctiHl shark.
Dr. Hhett Goodn, the well kuowusureeon
of this city, toils a story which ts certainly
one of the ntONt remarkable ever recorded.
It is a llsli story, but a true one.
The doctor, with' Messrs. W. H. Barney,
K. O ZauVk and W. O. liellibrniid, was tbe
guest of Captain J. W. Illack, manager of
the SuUivau Timber compnuy, on an ex
cursion down the day. The party reached
tort Morgan early in the morning, aud
spent tbe day In (tailing, enjoying excellent
sport. Mr. Barney brought two shark
lines and cast them early In the day, but
not until afternoon, when the party was at
dinner, did he got a bite. Then tbe fisher
men pulled In two moderate sixed sharks,
one about five feet long and 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 as.
Some time after It waa suggested that
Dr. Ooode open the sharks and recover
whatever gold watches, flutter rings, etc,
their stomachs should be found to contain.
The doctor opened the seven footer, and
then plied the knifo on the smaller shark.
The story, as he tells it, is as follows!
"I made a straight incision and opened
the body of the shark. 1 took out the
stomach, the altmentary canal and tbe lu
testinea, and, having examined t he stom
ach, threw those organ over Into the
water. Having a curiosity to see how
large a heart such a fish has I cut into the
diaphragm and extracted the heart. This
organ, I found, was about the site of an
egg, rather small, 1 thought, for so large a
fish. The ourioua thing about It was that
it continued to pulsate after 1 had taken
it from tbe fish. It beat regularly for a
minute or more, lying there In my band. I
When it stopped beating I pricked It with
tne knife, and It again pulsated for a short
time. It waa perfectly empty of blood.
Meantime the pilot and others pitched
tne seven foot shark orT the wharf, and it
sank to the bottom. We could see it plain
ly through tbe clear water. They then
took the smaller shark, all of whose in
ternal orgnns 1 had removed, and whose
heart I held In my hand, and threw it into
the water. You can Judge of our surprise
to see tbat shark swish its tail around and
flap its fins from side to side, aud then swim
briskly away until it disappeared."
"It went with the currentf"
"Yes, but It was swlmmiiut. We all saw
It as plain as could be. The other shark
sank like a shot; this one swam straight
away, as naturally aa any nsli."
V as tbe nab apparently dead when vou
u it upr"
lea. It did not make a single move al)
the time I was cutting it The way that
dissected fish did beats anything I ever
heard of or ever Imagined. We could see
It for twenty or thirty yards as It swam
away. It made tbe pilots down there open
tseir eyes, t assure you.
Air. Zadecx, wbo was present when the
doctor described this curious happening,
earn, wnen referred to, that It waa "a true
bill"--tbe most wonderful thiua he ever
saw. Mobile Register.

MITow much commission do you people

"Of con rue, people In your business are not

treat the qurntson as a Joke. "I am uot
Joking," persisted the customer; "you have
smashed fifty collars and nearly aa many
pairs of cults of mine all to pieces In three
mouths, and that Is no joke. I buy the
best of linen goods and you invariably ruin

"Now, ot course there must be a motive
In that. I believe that you chaps are In
league with the manufacturers of collars
and cuffs, and I promise toorganlae a laun

Peruvian Wool Fabrics,
Peruvian woolen fabrics were of three
kinds a coarse woolen cloth, which tbey
called avaaca, which formed the raiment of
the common people; a finer variety, called
oompl, woru by the captains and officials,
and still another, also called com pi, but of
much finer quality, reserved for the use of
persons of royal blood. Specimens of this
cloth, still preserved, reveal a fineness of
texture and an exquisite finish which
modern ingenuity rarely equals. Doth
sides of these clot hs were woven alike. The
delicacy of tbe texture gave it the luater of
silk, while the brillinucy of the dyes em
ployed excited the envy and admiration of
the European artisan.
The Peruvians minle also shawls, robes.
carpets, coverlets aud hangings In it rent
varieties of patterns. They knew how to
produce an article of great strength and
durability by mixing tbe hair of animals
with the fleece of their llamas. S, N. D.

Impatieutly, and, tbe beat of tbe music
