ff T V^'er*»'TTPS’^ r " HUMOROUS DESCRIPTION-OF BARY. ! The zoological curiosity "baby" is ! widely distributed over the habitable globe, It has been found by Arctic explorers in tha j ice dwellings of the Esquimaux, serenely sucking a lump of whale blubber, and in cm? own country investigators have frequently observed it diligently crunching i co *l cinders. Asia possesses a multitu--1 dinous variety, and in books of Indian life and customs, we have instances where ! crocodiles in quest of a dinner have been ; gratuitously supplied with one or two babies by the Indian ladies, but in highlycivilised countries this curious custom does j not prevail, owing, as is generally supposed, i to a lack of crocodiles, i Every census reveals the fact that babies | are on the increase, and now almost every house has its baby—or two. I Specimens have been found from time to time neatly enveloped in a newspaper, snugly reposing on the doorsteps of respectable citizens, and as the strictest investigation has failed to discover from whence they c?..ne, we are forced to the conclusion , that they are of a meteorolitish origin, j The class is divided into two sections— I boy babies and girl babies. It grows in two | directions simultaneously, to length and breadth, and often weighs as much as a small-sized sack of coals. It is provided with four limb-like appendages, one at each corner, which it uses , with a spidcr-likc movement as a means of ' progression. Its principal aim seems to be the creation discordant noises ; to this er ’ it devotes .Is powers, and succeeds in many cases in riving at great perfection.
