A careful search failed to locate such a cause, ant! the L'tltfy continued to haw!. "The child is hungry," siid a gentleman seated next to the mother; "tin) body can sci that." An old lady then came forward from the other end of the car and said to tho poor, excited mother: "M; dear child, I am not a mother, but at old maid; still I think tho baby want-a drink of water, nothing more." The car had just reached Coopei Institute, und hearing the old maid'? remarks, the father jumped off the ear and siiatch.d up a tin clipper of oatmeal water there on hand for tho u?e of the drivers nnd conductors, gave tin baby a drink. Instantly its cries ceased and it began to laugh nnd crow. "Didn't I tell you!" said the oh1 maid; "Cold water will do for children sometimes what all ele fail ti accomplish." "Oh! I am so glad' said" the mother, "for we are taking baby to hi christened." "Yes," spoke up tho Isapjiy ftdiiCr "and ie ui c'at loss for 11 miniu fot him, I suggest that WC call him St. John, because of Iib fondness for cold water." New York MuiljExp ess.
