Gutter Childrem That Thrive Where
They Court Death.
London gutter babies nro Immune to
ordinary diseases and thrive under con
ditions that would be death to other
children, said Dr. Thomas, health of
ficer of the Ftnsbury district. Dr.
Thomas works In the most congested
of the London boroughs, where 0,000
families live and sleep in 0,000 rooms.
"Some of these babies," be says, "as
soon or even before they are able to
crawl, ore placed on the sidewalks
early In tbe day, to be watched or
nursed by a girl of four or fire years.
They are true gutter children. Some
times the Immature nurse falls asleep,
wearied by her task, and tbe baby
crawls to the other side of the road,
heedless of traffic. Both are filthy
and gutter stained, but tbey seem to
live. Iu fact, the stock from which
they have sprung rises superior to the
ordinary diseases of childhood." A mong
the cases reported are these: .
A baby four months old was given a
piece of raw fat and bacon to chew,
because tbe grandmother said bacon
was good for babies and canaries.
One baby was dosed with stout and
aniseed by the mother as a cure for
colic.
Another baby of nine weeks was fed
chiefly on weak tea.
Dr. Thomas complains of the Sal
rcy Gumps, who act as nurses In tbe
district, undoing the work of the doc
tors in many cases. He says their ar
rogance is equaled only by their Ig
norance. New Vork Tribune.
JHE HOUSE OF THREES.
Curious Architecture of England's
Most Peculiar Building.
Tbe most peculiar bouse In tbe Unit
ed Kingdom is probably tbe triangular
one at Rushton, In Northamptonshire.
Us design Is supposed to typify the
trinity.
This singular building has three sto
ries, and each Btory has three win
dows on each of tbe three sides, while
each of the windows in two of the
three stories Is in the shape of a tre
foilthe three leaved shamrock. In
each of the other windows there are
twelve panes, arranged in three four's,
and the panes throughout are trian
gular. Three gables rise on each side and
from the center, whero their roofs
meet, a three sided chimney surmount
ed by n triangular pyramid terminates
In a largo trefoil. Tbe smoke Issues
from three round holes on each of the
three sides of the chimney.
Three Latin inscriptions, oneoneach
Bide of the house, have each thirty
letters, while over the door there is
another Lntln Inscription of three
words, tho English of which Is, "There
are three that bear record," and on
each side are the carved figures of
three angels bearing shields.
Inside the houso each floor contains
three three-sided apartments. The
length of each of the wulls by outside
measurement is thirty-three feet four
inehea that Is, exactly thirty-throe
and one-third feet London Telegraph.
The Chair of. Torture.
Tbe most prominent building In tho
ancient city of Nuremburg is the cas
tle. One of Its two towers was used
for torture; the other served as a prison.
The castle.also contained a museum of
horrors until it was purchased by tho
Earl of Shrewsbury and Talbot, in
whose possession these relics now lie.
One of these was the chnlr of torture.
It was very heavily made and studded
over the seat nnd nt the elbows with
blunt topped spikes. To It the victim
wastlglitly bound, and In a short time
discomfort began to manifest itself and
In time becnino unbearable. . During
Its continuance the torture was increas
ed In several ways by means of wedges
being passed between the legs nnd
screws being applied to the thumbs
until they began to bleed.
A Joint Concern.
. When Rlebnrd Brlusley Sheridan
was In distress, In early life, one of his
resources was that of writing for the
fugitive publications of the day, in
which bo was materially assisted by
his wife, and many years after his
entrance Into the spheres of politics be
was heard to say that "If he had stuck
to tho law he believed ho should have
done us much ns his friend Tom
Ursklne; but," continued ho. "I had
no tlmo for such studies Mis. Sheri
dan nnd myself were often obliged to
kovp writing for our dally leg or shoul
der of mutton; otherwise we should
have had no dinner." One of bis
friends, to whom ho confessed this,
wittily replied, "Then I perceive It was
a 'Joint' concern."
Triumph of Womanly Nature,
A budding novelist who knew how
to depart from the hackneyed way of
piittin things sent to a Bostou editor

"When she heard of the mnrrlnge of

at first bawled bitterly, but her wo
manly nntiiro booh assertiil Itself, and
she began a desperate Hli'tntlon with
another man." New York I'ost '"

where "cases" were rare one day came
across his landlord In au Incapable

missed, so the landlord was summoned
and lined to tho amount or Hs ikl
Tho lino was paid, tint the policeman's
