How She Saws Wood

Did you ever sec woman undertake
to saw wood? 1t is always a little while
before dinner, when the pies won't bake
and the potatoes absolutely refuse to
come to the boiling point, and the only
stick of wood is three inches too long.
After vain attempts to prove the ell
asticity of matter by putting two-foot
three-inch stick into a two-foot,, stove,
she goes out to the saw-horse, puts her
knee on the refractory stick in the way
she has seen men do. But the edges of
the wood are sharp, and she takes it
down again with an ejaculation, and
with growing disregard for appearan-
ces, puts her foot on it instead. Her
hair never fails to come down at this
and she has to stop and twist it into a
knot behind before beginning to saw.
Then the saw commences frantic jump
ing and skipping on its own account,a
the whole feminine mind being concen-
trsted upon keeping up the foot that is
up, and down the foot that should be
down, until, in an unlucky moment the
stick flies up, and launches q blow at
her nose just as somebody is going by
She stops and pretends TO be looking
for something, while dark thoughts of
divorce and separation fash through
her mind, and she vows in her innocent
soul that she will never attempt to saw
wood again if there never is any dinner.
But her pride and her dinner are ut
stake,an all her native obstinacy comes
to the surface; she will conquer that
stick or die. Fired by new fury, she
succeeds in saving two-thirds of the
way through and braking off the rest of
tit is rotten rail-she goes into the
house to find the potatoes boiled dry,
and the pie in state of sodden uncer-
tainty. The children come home from
school and the husband from the shop,
and find kind of hushed solemnity in
the air and no pie for dinner. The me-
ridinal meal is eaten in silence and Bit
terness of heart, and then the wife OF
his bosom inquiries if she is expected to
take care of the stable and feed the pigs
as well as saw wood. The mans says,
"Hang 1t all, forgot" and the woman
drops her sarcasm and breaks down in
the declaration that she newer will
do 1T again, nerer, but she will ;she
will do it tomorrow, and the next day,
or the day after, for one of the things
that women never will learn is
that she cannot saw wood.-DaRbgry

Once upon time-so goes the tale
the Grand Duke Of Florence pro-
claimed that every beggar who would
appear in the grand piazza at certain
time should receive new suit of clothes
as gin. At the appointed hour uul-
titudes of beggars assembled. The Of
ficers closed the avenues of the square,
compelled the beggars to strip on their
old clothes, and gave them each new
suit. Enough money was found In
their old clothes to build beautiful
bridge over the Arno, still called the
beggar's bridge. 'sia' 20 .'e- 49,

THE INSANITY PLEA.
BLEAKLEY AND LEAHY PROBABLY sANE-GEO.
FKANCIs TRAINS MENTAL G0NDITION.

BLEAKLEY AND LEAHY PROBABLY sANB-GEO.
FRANCIS TRAINS MENTAL CONDITION.
Dr. William Hammond, who with DR.. Cross
had been requested by District Attorney Phelps to
anime into the sanity OF the murderers Beakley and
Leahy, and also Of George Francis Train, in the
Tombs has submitted his report in relation TO Bleaey
and Train, but Will make another examination Of Leahy.
Dr Hammond states that while Bleakey is OF a pecu-
laTly and emotional organization he is sane and
responsible He speaks briefly and dwels upon the dis
grace which his niece had brought upon his family, and
the winch be had taken her to bet
ter life.
Dr. Hammond says that George Francis Train is
certainly insane His conversation is disconnected and
be Is The victim Of ihs n9 prcPostGEGgs ael9s!oas He
declared IN Tue presence OF the physicians that when he
returned from Europe he expected TO be elected Presi
dent Of the United states, but now he convinced
that the people OF the country corrupt and that
Was gong ruin. He would accept the Presidency
now, but would be Dictator aud the streets of New.
York would run with blood
Dr Hammond, when asked II he did not think that
IIalns utefances were made for effect replied that be
had taken that view into consideration but from close
examination convinced that Train believed what lie
raid
The physicians convinced that Leahy is perfectly
sane but ike Ganey Of Buffalo, is stimulating insanity
for the purpose OF saving himself from the
OF his crime He speaks connectedly upon subjects
which relate the murder of his wife, or his
crime be would his observers believe that he knew
nothing He affects TO believe that his wife is In the
room adjoining his cell, and that he hears her
voice. when asked why he did not 60 10 her,
he replied that the attendants would not let him. All
this Dr. Hammond characterizes as affected, for he
deems il unnatural for TO remember other mat
ters 40 well and yet 10 forget so serious subject as
trial for bis e particularly as II has occurred within
few days To all doubts at rest another examination
by the same physicians will be had The process by
which the physicians arrived at their results was by
close scrutiny and examination Of the prisoners.
