Boston, April 23.—An active
traffic in babies is carried on. in
Boston, according to Mrs. Char
lotte Smith, a social worker of
this f'ily, who /appeared before
the Legislative Committee on
Public Health today, in support
of a bill requiring the registra
tion of midwives. Mrs. Smith j
siiid that she had herself, in the
course of her investigations,
bought infants, paying from $2
up for them, and knew where
more could be purchased at any
time.
“The idol of the home in the
Back Bit',” she said, "is a poodle
dog. They cost from $1(10 to
$ti;000, while halves are bbing
sold af from $2 to $10, depending
upon whether they "are blondes or
brunettes.”

From early antiquity divers I
influence* have healn attributed |
to precious ' stones.' • Slones, just
as (lowers, held symbolical mean
ings and were supposed to influ
ence the minds and destinies of
those who wore them. An ame
thyst hung from the neck of a
drunkard was considered a cure
foe drunkenness. Carnelian caus
ed melancholy, and the onyx was
the emblem of sadnFss; red agate
had power lo drive away all evil
thoughts. The. sard created
friendship between men and wo
men; the sardonyx inspired mod
esty and chastity in its wearers.
Cat’s-eye induced wealth and long
life, jasper conferred eloquence,
and for that reason it was giv
en to lawyers and to preachers.
Coral drove away fear, murder
ers, and evil spirits, and cured
children of nocturnal fears, calm
ed the fairy of the sea, and cured
diseases of the eyes. Amber pre
vented deafness and healed goi
tre.
Most precious stones were re
puted to exert a benign influence
and to be good for the sight.
Aquamarine gave, hope lo the
sorrowing; the beryl gave to a
Woman the power to charm the
man she loved. Malachite sym
bolized peace of mind, gave suc
cess lo people engaged in busi
ness and in lawsuits; the opal
the sapphire, and the topaz gave
good luck.
Among diamonds the story of
the1 Hope stone, which is reputed
(o have hi‘ou;|hl misfortune lo
all its owners, is well known. The
Saucy diamond was also suppos
ed |,o bring bad luck. Charles Hie

showing guests up to their cells.
A pirate’s in charge of the lift:
his motions are eager and swift
