Samuel Donaldson, of Camden, boasts of the smallest baby in Jersey. She is only five days old and weighs 1 3/4 ounces. Her head will go into a teacup without touching the sides. Her hand will about cover a cent. Her bed is on a down cushion placed in a chair. When she first opened her black eyes they appeared like sparkling pinheads.
Dr. Frederick Pfeiffer says the mite has every prospect of living. She is as pretty as a French doll, with a wealth of very dark hair. Donaldson is a barber, and his wife is the daughter of Thomas J. Francis. They live at 30 Broadway, and have one other child, a girl of three years.
The mother and grandmother had prepared for a larger addition to the family, and the pretty white things they had spent so many hours over were entirely too large. Clothes had to be taken from Sister Ethel's bisque doll to fit her.—New York News.
