THE BABI
A Series of Letters from Marion Har

of Immortal Beings
Babya Table HannersDe Must bo Taught
to Eat Properly as Well as to
Speak and Walk
BY MARION UARLAND
Author of Common Sense In the Nursery c c
Copyright lbS7 by the Author J
Passing along the corridor of a fashion-
able seaside hotel one day last year I
stopped to look through a glass partition
into the diningroom set apart for ftfe use
of children under five years of atrjand
their nurses The nurses outnum-
bered the children two to one There
were nurses in caps and nursfe without
caps nurses ij the jaunty ristof h Qies
maids of various nationalitie ja Vurses
with white faces and nurses with quad-
roon complexions six nurses wore coats
and pantaloons two had mousachios
and sidewhiskers But for the an-
nouncement in gilt letters on the door
I should have mistaken them for
coachmen and valets Between and
among the rrotley crew who were talking
boisterously and devouring voraciously
putting their knives down their throats
drinking tea from saucers and with their
thumbs inside of tumblers sat babies
from two to six years old their quick
senses taking in every feature of the
scene repeated thrice per diem They
learned many things more objectionable
than that peas can be conveyed on the
knife to the mouth and meat be gnawed
from the bones but our business at pres-
ent lies with the latter class of accom-
plishments
Papa frowns and mamma sighs over the
enigmatical perversity of children when
ltobby puils audibly on his mug of milk
his eyes rolling over the top and
sets it down empty with a loud Ahh
eats with his Angers slits the corner of
his mouth with bis knife sops up grayy
and svrup from his plate with bread and
will talk with his mouth fall Both opine
that children are naturally slovenly papa
says piggish and tries to shame the of-
fender by hints of styes and troughs Mam-
ma lays line upon line and precept upon
percept to such effect that the boy be-
comes really propermannered by the
time the family take their next summer
flight In the autumn the worn has all to
be done over aaain That Robby is an
imitative animal counts for much in his
parents calculations but not nearly
enough
J am actually afraid of my children
when I see how quickly they contract my
worst habits said one mother The
geed must be tausht patiently They
catch evil instinctively
There is no mystery in the nfatter That
which is seemly passes wi hotftcomment
A stain is obtrusive Robby eats as he i
taught to do when the natural awkward-
ness of exchanging poon and bowl for
knife fork and plate is surmoun ed
Violations of decent orderliness catch
his eye at once even when mamma is
guilty of whir she has forbidden in him
The spiit of juvenile ademure does the
rest J1U table drill should begin from
the momert he is allowed to fed him-
self Give him his own knif forkspoon
plate and mug and make the biv a neces-
sary part of the equipment When he is
promoted to a s > at at the family table do
not make him the most important mem-
ber of the circle Let him await his turn
patiently Discipline is as needful for
the healthful growth of character as love
for the development of the affectiovs
By teaching your child to give place to
hfs elders yon spare him maty a battle
with his selfish will in after years
Insist that baby shall eat slowly and
neatly Ileath depends upon thorough
mastication decency enj ins that he shall
not leave samples of his food on cloth
garments and lace Do not chide or pun-
ish him for accidents when he has tried to
behave well but forbid him to play with
his victuals and table furniture He is no
happier for being allowed to mold his
bread into maroles or pound the board
with his lists and silver mutr
or rattle spoon and fork against
plate and cup It is not essen
cheek back to
enough to cover the whole batket When
pulled on one side it comes up on the
other
We meet them every day at your table
and at mine the people wher feeding at
home twenty days in the month dc not
know to dine in friends houses on the
other ten We say of this young man
He had careful early training of that
vlitf V r V
We must make allowances for the
deficiences of home education
Why not teach Our Baby how to eat
properly as well as to sit speak and
walk well Class indecorum at table
with faults rather than foibles It is
becoming for him to turn in his
quite as
toes as to smack his lips in chewing

Shooting Affray at Texarkaua
Special to tne Gazette
Tkxabkasa Ark April 9 About sun-
down this evening as Joe Cook was pas-
sing the residence of J F Kirby brother
to John Kirby whom Cook shot on Thurs-
day la t G ady Kirby eldest son of the
wounded man fired upon him from the
hall with a doublebarrel shotgun but
did not strike Couk who was only thirty
feet distant He and his horse escaped
without a scratch Cook returned the
fir with his icvolver plugging the door-
posts and steps but hitting no one The
greatest excitement prevails and public
sVntimont is divided That other blood
shea will yet result is not doubted as the
Kirhyfg seem bent on revenge and Cook is
evidently a stranger to fear The wounded
in the house at the time
tial for right enjoyment and digestion 1 l JThootuSl ana it is feared by his
of what he eats that he should grease his > l
tlieshock will cause relapse
knuckles and besmear his friends that
the ears and up to the
eyes Nor that he should champ and suck
chicken bones iifter tearing asundi r the
joints By the time he is flye years old
he ought to eat with no mcrenoise and as
decorously as his father does
How strange that a young fellow who
is so gentlemanly in other things should
lay his bread on the table then butter it
back and forth trowelandmortar fash-
Ion said a hostess to a guest
His father does the same was the
cogent reply
Dr Johnson declared the famous line
Who rules free men should himself be
free to be an idle play upon words As
well he said say Who drives fat oxen
should himself be fat
There is no discount on the sentiment
Who would have his children wellbred
must comport himself with propriety
Example goes so much further than pre-
cept that the latter never overtakes and
throttles It
Having taught your boy to eat leisurely
and noiselessly and rather as if the busi-
ness were an incident in tne history of
the day than an epoch do not vitiate the
effect of the course by bolting your break-
fast by the sqnare inch and flushing down
the cubes with enormous draughts of
liquid It is to your shame and his hurt
that you ask only five minutes for the
morning meal and can dispose of a
threecourse dinner in ten minutes upon
occasion Your sons occasions are as
urgent in his eyes as are yours to you
He would like to swallow soup meat and
pudding in five minutes and be off to the
playground asmucn as you desire to keep
your business engagements If you have
earned for yourself the lasting penalty of
an uneasy digestion be merciful to him
No habits are unlearned with more dif-
ficulty than table usages and in none is
the influence of early education more po-
tent The child who is allowed to satisfy
his appetite in the easiest and swiftest
mode to sacrifice breeding to the claims
of hunger except when company is
present will forget and at opportune
times when he is a man the atificil
polish gained in society Olteuer still
the polish does not take evenly I < aves
the surface bare in spots As with poor
Kosaraonds silver paper it is not big

Shooting affray at Palestine
Special to the Gazette
Palkstine Tkx April 9 A Mexican
wood chopper last night visited a beer
aloon In the suburbs of West Palestine
and after taking as much as he coud
carry drew a pistol and went on the
rampage Everybody whom he passed
was made to stand and swallow a large
mixture of Spanish curses and abuses
Constable Steve Crist finally came on the
scene accompanied by John McKenzie a
railroad engineer The Mexican on seeing
them approached from behind a tree and
levelled his pistol at the two men when
they fired on him with a sixshooter and
a shotgun Three shots struck the Mex-
ican in the neck and one cut a finger
from his left hand He was glad to sur-
render then and now lies in jail

He recently visited Birmingham with a
view of investing in a miil and lumber
site to establish another soninlaw a
former New Orleans cotton factor in bus-
iness He found a site suitable for the
purpose and had the neive to strike a
bargain at once at 350 per front foot
The next day he was offered an advance
of 60 per foot but declined to sell
Believing that city property com-
manded too high a figure per foot for the
most
PROFITABLE INVESTMENT
he went out into the subuibs with a view
of buying land by the acre He was
given an option until 12 m the next day
on a lot of eleven acres at 3250 per acre
The next morning he went to Coalton
and thinking that an hour or two more
or less wouldnt make much if any
difference as to his f ption did not get
back until 2 p m but was fully resolved
to take the land But he didnt take it
Another man sat watching the hands ot
the clock and the very minute they
marked twel e he took the eleven acres
under a second option at 3500 per acre
and Mr Bowers lost 2750 in a minute on
the theory that they run on slow time in
Birmingham
He then went still fuitber out and
bought for cash a sixacre tract paying
2250 per acre
The party from whom I bought it
said Mr Bowers informed me that he
purchased it eleven months ago I then
asked him to tell me frankly what ho had
paid for it His answer
MADE M 1EH1 FUNNY
And Mr Bowers smiled a peculiar
smile How much was it
Just 150 an acre He had paid 900
for the tract and sold it to me for
13500
Do you regret your bargain
Far from it I could sell it today for
2500 an acre I shall divide it into lots
and will treble my investment
Mr Bowers pronouLced the railway
depot in Birmingham the fiaefc in the
south and gave as a striking instance of
the rapid growth of the place that they
had not yet had time to put up a clock
to add to the confubion of peoples
watches
AN AWFUL CRY
the lack of
gops up every day against
railway facilities both north and south of
Birmingham Why the railway com-
panies permit the grounds of complaint
to exist I can not understand If the
present facilities south of Nashville were
doubled it would not meet the demand of
the public and afford reasonable comforts
A gentleman just ap from the south
five ladies compelled to stand in thems
dines in the smoker Not a berth was to
be had in the sleeper All were taken
south of Birmingham My wife was un-
well and I forced them to let her into tne
sleeper as she could not have lired on
any o her part of the train and by
I had to threaten to kill the conductor
and porter before they would allow her to
recline in the aisle upon ths carpet
My own experience in the crowded
condition of the cars made thegentlmans
story sound very probable More trains
and more and better cars are necessary
The enormous volume of travel not only
justifies but absolutely demauds it

THE TEXAS PANHANDLE
Observations cf Ono Who Mndo an Ex-
tended Trip Through the Country
Jacksuouo Tex April 2 iSS7
To the Editor of the Gazette
On making an extended trip through
the Panhandle and the country adjacent
to it I promised many readers of your
valuable paper that after making a careful
inspection of the country I would give
them such facts as presented themselves
to me I found the lands of this re-
gion weh adapted to corn wheat and
oats also to fruits of almost all kinds
Vegetables cf every kind grow to perfec-
tion and epecially melons These lands
sre mostly of a dark loam art rich end
productive There are in many place
some wase lands most of which can be
utilized by planting the grape setts as
grapes are the spontanious growth
of the country Prairie lands
can be easily broken with one
team of horses or oxen Last year
was the dryest ever known and ct
in many places from twenty to thirtyfive
bushels oi corn ten to twenty of wheat
was grown to the acre The section is
as a general thing well watered espe-
cially at the foot of the plains there be-
ing numerous rivers creeks and priug >
of pure water as good as one will find in
almost auy of the eastern states Along
these streams there is some good timber
suitable for building fencing and fuel
The climate is delightful Wild grapes
and plums are found growing almost
everywhere The grass notwithstand-
ing there has beeu no rain since last faljt
is good and stock of all kinds are obk
ing well many of them fat This section
is rapidly settling up with a good sub-
stantial set of people who go there to
stay and in my opinion int a lew
years the Panhandle an the
country territory to it will bemore
thickly settled than any portion of Tlfes
The people as a class are law abidTBfp
and appear to have the interest of their
country at issue There are many sec-
tions of school and railroad lands not
taken up as yet The Fort Worth aud
Denver City K dl odd is completed to
Quanah in Hardeman county nan the
grading beyond that point is being pushed
as rapidly as possible This road will
run througn a splendid country thr
best portion of the Panhandle There
is another road coming into thH sertion
from Kiowa Kan the Kansas Southtrn
which is building as rapidly as possible
and will also pass through it ItMs
thought the two roads the Fort Worth
and Denver and Kansas Southern will
intersect by Stptember 1 el
the present year Tnere are many mall
towns springing up all of which do-
a large frontier business They are rap-
idly increasing in population All farm
products sell huh It is the home of the
cattle and sheep raanvas stock of all kind
thrive and do better there than in any
portion of Texas There is ho place I
know of that offers so good a fie d for
flouring and grist mills Good water can be-
gotten In most places at a depth of from
fifteen to lorty feet besides there bting
numerous springs some of which are
gippy The rivers and creeks abound
in fih of all kinds and gam is yet plen-
tiful in some places There are springs
of mineral waters buch as slum suiphur
iron etc and the water from some is
much Dnzed by the people for their medi-
cinal qualities They say they will cure any
case of dyspepjia rht uniatisu agut
fever etc I urn fully convinced that no
section in Texas is more healthful as I
have always gamed in flnsh when I made
a trip into that section besides my
general health was improved
All things taken in consideration this
country offers greater inducements for
settlers than any I know of C
A Lizard from New M xico
London Dlly News
Boxes from New Mexico will in fottire
be opened with diffidence by their morec
or less involuntary bailees The London
correspondent of the Liverpool Post tells
a tale concerning which any one may ap-
propriately quote Virgil and say Timeo
novos Mexicanos et dona fereutes A
gentleman received from New Mexico a
box He opened it and found that it con
tained a creature which resembled a
young but lively crocodile Not being a
collector of crocodiles he sent the lizard
with his compliments to the Zoolozical
Gardens Next day he received a letter
in which gratitude was blended with ad-
monition He was asked next time be
sent a lizard to mention if the lizards bite
was poisonous Of course as the piou
benefactor had not thought of getting bit
by the lizard be did not know whether it
was poisonous or not The philosophic
hero of Happy Thoughts supposed that
bumblebees dont sting He tried one
Didnt it is his scientific comment If
the sender of the lizard had tried he
would probably at this moment be in his
long home The lizards flrst achieve-
ment on reaching the Zoological Gardens
was to bite a rabbit which promptly ex-
pired On being remonstrated with the
kindly person who forwarded the lizard
from New Mexico remarked that he had
heard of a mans dying from the bite
this interesting saurian Introducedinto
Australia it might help to keep down rab-
bits but as a household pet the snap
ping lizard can never rival the cat and dog
in human a2 ctions
