COLOR OF NEGRO BABIES.
A French rbjiiclu'a Inquiry Into the 8nc.
caselve Ttnta They Show After Birth.
Several yonre ngo Dr. Fttrabetif,
profisnor of histology ;;tr.-.'cn;"!;-
ol Meilicino, staled iu a public lec
ture that negro babies at the time
of birth were of exactly the same
color as white babies, and that they
showed eigne of color ouly after nn
interval, usually of several days,
but often extending to many weeks;
finally, that the skin nevor attained
its darkest tint until the ago of pu-
berty.
This assertion caused a good deal
of discussion at the time. One phy si
oian, Dr. Florain, who had spent
some years in Africa, denied it em
pliatioally. He declared that the
children of black parents were in-
variably born black and that they
were as black at the age of 3 months
as they ever would be. To this im-
peachment Dr. Farabeuf made a
single response, "Black babies are
born white."
Last summer thero was on exhibi-
tion at the Champ fle Mars a Su-
danese village, the colony of which
numbered several hundred persons
as black as ever born. Another in-
vestigator, Dr. Collignon, eaw there
an opportunity to settle the contro-
versy. He set to work scientifically,
using the Broca chromatic scale to
verify his tints. This scale is made
up of 34 gradations, the gamut be-
ginning with cream white and end
ing with ebon black, the intervening
shades giving all the grades that
one could obtain, say, by potirir.^
milk into a oup of black coiloe. The
first case that Dr. Collignon had a
chance at was the birth of a boy on
Sept. 19. The parents were coal
black.
"I arrived at the moment of
birth," says Dr. Collignon. "Arm-
ed with my ecale, I examined the
child the instant it had been wash-
ed. Its skin was of a very light
pink, somewhat lighter than the
No, 24 of Broca. Within a very
short time the skin was suffused
with a deeper tinge, which gradual-
ly became a delicate lilac. Certain
parts of the body were darker; but,
on the other hand, the feet and
hands were of a beautiful rosy
tinge. The hair was very -fine and
abundant, not curly, and perhaps
three centimeters in length.
"The next "day I saw the child
again, and it was perceptibly dark-
er; tho hands and feet were reddish.
Ten days later the main tint of the
body corresponded to No. 29 of the
Broca scale, which is that of a light
tanned leather; the extremities were
briok red. Tho baby shortly fell ill
and was takep to the hospital. 1
saw it again when it was 15 days
old, and by that time its color had
deepened to chocolate."
In the seoond oase Dr. Collignon
did not see the newborn child until
12 hours after birth, when it was
the color of chamois skin. The
third and fourth cases were prac-
tically like tho first. In subsequent
cases the peculiarities of tho first
were confirmed. From all of those
data tho investigator felt justified
in saying;
"The negro baby comes into tho
world a tender pink color; the sec-
ond day it is lilac; 10 days after-
ward it is the color of tanned leather
and at 13 days it is chocolate. The
human epidermis, or "outer layer of
skin, is composed of three films su-
perimposed one upon the other, and
holding between them, in the case
of the negro, the coloring matter
which makes him brown or blank.
This pigment is semifluid or in the
form of fine granulations; in the In-
dian it 18 red and in the Mongolian
yellow. Freckles are made of this
pigment. It is- influenced not only
by sun and by climate, but by cer-
tain maladies, and the negro changes
in tint just as the white person
does. "—New York Sun.

WE ARE ASSERTING IN THE COURTS OUR EIGHT TO
THE EXCLUSIVE USE OF THE WORD "CASTORIA," ANI)
"PITCHER'S CASTORIA," AS OUR TRADEMARK.
I, DR. SAMUEL PITCHER,- of Hyannis, Massachusetts,
was the originator of "CASTORIA," the same that
has borne and does now bear ^ - on every
the fac-simile signature of wrapper.
This is the original "CASTORIA" which has been used in
the homes of the Mothers of America for 'over thirty years.
LOOK CAREFULLY at the wrapper and see that it is
the hind you have always bought p — on'the
and has the signature- of wrap-
per. No one has authority from me to use my name except

Where Tliey Eat Gods,
At certain seasons in somo.jiurts
of India it is the duty of every de-
vout person to eat a special sort of
confectionery. Every confectioner
in October, for instance, has a pole
about C feet high at his door, and to
this is nailed a great hook about a
foot long and thick in proportion.
On one side of this is a brisk fire
with a liugo earthen pan on it. Be-
fore tho pan a man may be seen sit-
ting—l'or nobody stands when he
can sit—with a kind of wooden ladle,
and with this he briskly stirs a
quantity of bubbling, black looking
sugar till it becomes quite tough. He
then scrapes it together and puts it
on a piece of board to cool a little,
and then getting up anddexterousjy
throwing it on the large hook he
begins to pull out tbo tough sub-
stanoo.
He draws it out to the length of 4
or 5 feet at a time ansl throws it
back and elongates it again and bo
he manipulates it till the mass be
comes as white as snow
This composition, so treated, is
manufactured in all sorts of sacred
forms — figures of little idols and
gods—and is eagerly bought for
consumption.—Strand Magazine.
I'vcd No Judgment*
"Here's an account of a man who
has been arrested" for stealing
plays," said the man with the pa-
per.
"For stealing plays I" exclaimed
the man who wis smoking, in as-
tonishment.
"That's what the paper says."
"Oh, well, the trouble with him
must have been that ho didn't usd
any judgment. If he had stolen
come of the plays I've seen, they
wouldn't arrest him; they'd givg
him -a vote of thanks. "—Chicago
Post.
An Approximation.
"Do you know what a prize you
would be getting in my daughters"
asked the old gentleman of the
young man who was trying to nego-
tiate for her hand.
"Not precisely, sir, but from what
I gather through the most authentic
Bources she will bo worth close on
to 11,000,000."—Detroit Free Press.
But It Unit Precede It.
The last word in a quarrel is not
nearly so good as the first word in a
reconciliation.—Boston Transcript.
