a woman, while In the basement of a
flour mill, was caught by her dress in
some cog-wheels, and had one arm torn
from the shoulder, one leg neatly torn
of, a hand badly mangied, and her
body much mutilated. The first init.
nation of the accident that the miller
had was the cracking Of her bones

woMAN's CURIOSITY REwARED.

The Detroit Post says: "Two ladies
called at the Office of one of our well.
known physicians. While one of them
was consulting the physician in his
private office, the other, prompted by
curiosity or some kindred impulse,
proceeded to investigate the contents of
a large case of bottles, jars, &C., in the
outer office. Between the two apart
ments was glass door over which was
a paper shade, which, however, was
torn across one corner so that it was
possible to see from one room into the
other. Hearing a rattling among his
bottles, the physician stepped to the
glass door and looked through to see
what was going on. he discovered the
lady in the act of taking down one bot
tie after another and smelling of the
contents thereof. At length she got
hold of something which evidently
pleased her olfaetories. She smelled
and smelled again, and each time It
pleased than before. She then poured
some of the liquid into her hand and
smelled again. This time her entire
satisfaction with the result of her in
yestipations was evident, and she
hastily rubbed the fluid upon her nose
and portions of her face contiguous
thereto, replaced the bottle and took
her seat as she heard a rustlIng in the
outer room, Indicating that the consul
tation was at an end, and that the con-
sulting parties were returning. The
physician, knowing what the result
would be, detained the ladies in con-
versation for several minutes. Before
the end of that time, as the lady sat
near warm stove, her nose and por-
tions of her face began to turn a deep
olive color, and before she departed
they had assumed a beautiful dark
brown. She had mistaken the Doctors
favorite hair dye for perfumery. She
will be an invalid, and will not receive
calls for a week to come.
