I? WAS MATERNAL LOVE.
But “fillio’s Mesaage Proved it Very
§trong Inducement.
_.s';. hush had fallen upon the assembly.
A medium-sized woman with a slight
growth of whiskers was speaking earn-
estly and persuasively. She was address-
ing the wives and mothers, and her
words of advice related to the manage-
ment of a home.
“Be satisfied,” she urged, “with the
substance of power. Let it be enough
that you rule your household without
an ostentatious display of authority.”
She paused. -:
“ Ma, ma.” ‘
An excited boy had burst into the
room and stood breathless, with heaving
breast and flushed cheeks, just Within
. the door.
“‘Vla, ma,” he screeched.
The medium-sized woman With a
slight growth of whiskers displayed evi-
dences of great emotion. There was a
noticeable pallor in her face.
“ In my own house—” 3! T....8:‘3
She endeavored to be calm. ‘l PIS
“ Ma, come home.” "
The excited boy had proceeded toward
the front and it was plain that he was
addressing the medium-sized woman.
Her voice trembled but she continued
bravely——
“ I am content to govern——’
“ Ma, ma, baby’s crying and pa’s
mad.”
The tremor in the voice of the lady
with the slight growth of whiskers grew
more pronounced.
“ And never insist
“ Ma, ma. Pa says if you don’t come
home in fifteen minutes he’ll break
your back.”
The boy, hot and gasping, stood be-
fore her.
“ Why, Willie.”
)
‘J
Her Expression of countenance was -—
suggestive of terror. Her attempt to
appear surprised was a conspicuous fail-
ure.
“ Ma, baby’s crying and pa—” 7;
“ Hush.” ’-
She turned to the audience. ,
“ Maternal love,” she remarked with 8 ~
great- effort at self-repression, “ is the
strongest impulse known to humanity. '
You must excuse me. I go to my child.”
When they saw how very anxious she
was to get home they could not doubt
what she had said about the love that
dwelleth in a mother’s heart—Detroit

The Phenomena. of Shooting Stars.
The shooting stars are small bodies.
weighing at most a few pounds and con‘
sisting mainly of iron and carbon. They
traverse space in swarms, and also re-
volve around the sun in long, elliptical
courses like the comets. When these lit-
tle bodies enter the earth’s orbit they
are deflected toward the earth, and great
numbers are seen' in a single night.
Their brightneseis due to the heat en-
gendered by the energy of their motion.
Their speed is enormous, viz.: twenty-
eight and one-third miles in a second,
while the speed of the earth on its orbit
is only sixteen and two-thirds miles a
second forward. ,
This is one of the latest conclusions of
science: Shooting stars are the frag-
ments of 'shivered comets.
fact, are comparatively short-lived bod- '
ies, few of them persisting beyond a few
thousand years, and the smaller ones for
a ‘much less period only, while the dura-
tion of a planet like our earth extends to
‘ millions of years. The great comets
which frightened our ancestors would
doubtless be found to have lost much of
their brilliancy if we could see and iden-
tify them; for during their course
around the sun they continually throw
off vapor and fragments, and are thus
constantly subject to diminution—Cam-

Revue.
Queer Pranks of Lightning.
“ Lightning plays some queer pranks,"
said Wm. Cathcart. “I was traveling
through Coles County, Illinois, some
years ago, and sought refuge from a
thunderstorm in a farm house. The
farmer undertook to build a fire in the
kitchen stove today my damp garments.
He was down on his knees blowing the
coals vigorously when there was a ter-
rific clap of thunder, and a bolt of blue
fire shot out of the stove into his face. He
fell back as limp as a wet newspaper.
7 The lightning tore all his clothing off
with the exception of one boot and .
trousers leg. There was a streak down
through his beard, across his breast
, and-down one leg as though made by a
red-hot poker. I supposed he Was dead
' as'a door-nail. His wife picked up a
' large crock of milk that stood on the
table and dashed. it over him, and in less
than three minutes he sat up, surveyed
himself and mournfully remarked:
‘ Marier, you oughtcn to treat me that
erway afore strangers.’ ”—St; 1.011ng

A VlSlT_ TO THE BIG FOUNDLING
-ASYLUM ill MOSCOW. '
A Place That Turns Out Fourteen
Thousand Babies in a. Year—now the
Infants are Cured for—Hundreds 0!
Pretty Nurse Girls and Their Duties.
The biggest baby farm in the world is
here at Moscow, writes Frank G.
Carpenter, the noted, correspondent. It
costs $500,000 a year to run it, and it
has an annual crop of 14,000 babies. It
has a branch farm at St. Petersburg,
which turns out a yearly‘harvest of
8,000 more, and since itsfoundation it
has sent out into the country districts
of this empire more than 2,000,000
equalling infants. I saw last week 800
babies under four weeks old in the St.
Petersburg institution, and as I write
this letter 1,300 little ones are sucking
out their evening meal within the walls
of the establishment here at Moscow.
The big Moscow foundling asylum lies
within a stone’s throw of the Kremlin,
where the most sacred of all Russia’s
great churches stand; Itis on the banks
of the Moscow river and in the very
heart of this city of 800,000 people.
The buildings are vast four-story struc-
tures, built in the shape of a hollow
square about a garden which contains
perhaps an acre of trees and lawn, into
which, on 'these bright summer days,
the children are brought to take their
airing. I visited the establishment" this
afternoon. I was directed to the door
of the garden and a triy‘ little lady of '
perhaps twenty-five_years took me in
charge and showed me over the whole
institution. She spoke a little English
and much German ' and 3 she , talked
about the babies as we walked
through the garden. This garden was
out up by long, wide and well-
shaded walks, and these walks were
filled with the nurses and their babies.
Each’baby has her own wet “nurse, and
along each walk were two lines of these
nurses, each with a baby at her. breast,
and the whole garden was filled with
such sights. There were hundreds upon
hundreds of these nurses—buxom young
peasant girls of sixteen years old and up-
ward, all dressed in their best clothes,‘
for it was Sunday afternoon, and all
wearing the picturesque caps of the in-
stitution. These caps are nurses’ caps of
b.ue, green or red, Which are as full as
Tam O’Shanter caps at the top, but
which fit tight about the forehead, and
which are set rather on the back of the
head so as not to hide the forehead.
The caps are of different colors, but of
the same shape, and the girls are of all
types of Russian beauty and liomcliness.
Hundreds of them are blondes, and the
flaxen-haired, blue-eyed beauties of the
northern provinces are well represented.
Hundreds have the rosy checks that you
find along the Neva and upper Volga,
and here and there you see the dark eyes
and brunette faces which are found
further south. As I stood upon the
stops at one end of the garden I could
see fully a thousand of these girls in the
garden below me. Think of it! A
thousand Russian madonnas—not in oil
or water colors. but in living, glowing
flesh and blood—each doing the ma-
do‘nna act in earnest and in truth; a
thousand babies performing their part in
the picture; and all this under one of
the brightest skies and in one of. the
prettiest gardens of ,the world. It was,
in truth, a sight worth coming to Russia
to see.
A great part of the establishment is on
the cottage plan. The babies sleep on
the ground floor and at the end of each
nurse’s bed stands one of the little cribs.
They are never allowed to sleep with
their nurses and the greatest care is
taken that all of the surroundings should
be healthy. The rooms are well venti-
lated and there are rooms in which
prematurely born babies are kept, which
are, as it were, incubating-rooms. These
are heated by steam and are kept at
what I judge is about seventy degrees.
It is the same with the hospital proper,
and the babies are taken to cooler rooms
as they recover from sickness. '
About fifty new babies are received on
the average by this institution every day,
and all babies are taken and no questions
asked. They are sometimes left on the
steps of the institution, but more often
are brought by their mothers or some
friend. If the mother has a name for
the child she writes it on a card and this
name is given it, and at the same time it
is registered with a number and a cor-
responding number is given to the
mother. This number is written on a
little round tag of bone, and it is tied
arbund the neck of the child, and by this
number it goes in the institution. If
the mother wants it again she can bring
back her check and get her baby
and she can claim it at any time up
to the age of ten years. The babies
are kept in this institution only four
weeks, and after this time the nurses who .
are in charge of them take them to
their homes in the villages and there
bring them up. Each nurse girl gets $1
a month for such service and she is un-
der the supervision of the doctor of the
district and has to report her “baby to
him from time to time“ At the age of
about six years the children are brought
back to the institution and are educated.
They are taught trades and at twelve go
out to work for themselves.
the girls are taken back as officers and
they are trained as hospital nurses.
Many of the boys go into the army, and
there are 150 of them annually admitted
to the industrial schools of Moscow. If a
girl gets married before she becomes of
age the institution gives her her trous-
seau, and altogether foundlings are
better treated in Russia than in any
other country in. the world.
