Mrs. Sherman's Horrible Confession.

THE confession of Mrs. Lydia Sher-
man, "the Connecticut poisoner," is one
of the most horrible chapters of crime
ever recorded. Her enormities have
lately been revealed in full to the keeper
of the Jail in which she was then incar-
cerated, and from her story we gather
the following dreadful details:
Mrs Sherman was born at Burlington, N.
j., forty eight years ago. Losing her mother
before she was year old, she was brought
up by married uncle named John Clay
gay, in whose family, where all worked
hard, she was kindly treated, attending
school but three months in the year. At
sixteen years old she visited the home of
two older brothers at New Brunswick,
N. j., where she remained a short time,
and then went out to service in the family
f Rev. Mr. Van Amburg, in the town of
Jacksonville. She remained there three
years, when she returned with her broth
er Ellsworth to New Brunswick. Soon
afterward she began to learn the trade of
a tailoress with sister of her brothers
wife. A few months afterward she went
to work with Mr.. Owen, Methodist
class leader, in whose family she re-
manned four months. Subsequently she
went back to live WITH her brother, while
she continued to work for Mr.. Owen an
other year. In the meantime she had
Joined the Methodist Church.
Edward Struck, a blacksmith, mem
Der of the same church and a devoted
Christian, was her first husband. With
him she lived eighteen years in New Jer-
sey and New York city, where Struck
worked at his trade, and afterward be-
came policeman. Seven children were
born to them, one of whom died from
natural sickness. Soon after this death
a man was murdered at. hotel on the
Bloomingdale road, and Struck, who
went to secure the murderer, had not the
spirit to do it, and was discharged from
the police force. Trouble and poverty
ensued, and Struck became discouraged
and melancholy, bearing the stigma of a
coward in his bosom, and careless wheth
er he worked or not, became indolent and
lay in bed great share of the time. He
would not see a physician, but requested
to see one of his first wife's children, or

New York, Mrs. Sherman went after

sea swallows and fishermen OF Lake Pal
lageri, in Lapland. In the center OF this
lake is an island, on which the fishermen
build their huts in summer. At early
dawn the sea swallows gather round
these huts. and their cries admonish the
occupants that it is time to begin the days
work. The boats are hardly loosened
from their moorings when the birds start
out to find spot where the fish are album.
dant. The boatmen are governed entire
ly by the movements of the swallows.
When the birds stop and redouble their
cries, the fishermen know they have
found spot where they will be repaid
for their labor. They hasten forward,
cast their nets, and soon have the salts
faction of finding them well filled. In
accordance with the old maxim that the
laborer is worthy of his hire, the swallows
receive their share of the booty. Every
fish that the fishermen throw up in the
air is gracefully caught by the birds;
and, indeed, they are so tame that they
sometimes come into the boats and help
themselves out of the nets. IF one spot
becomes productive. the birds lead
the way to another. Toward evening,
men and birds return to the island, and
the birds hasten to clear the boats of the
share left behind for them by the fisher
men,

EXTRAORDINARY CURES. have
read many accounts ofthe extraordinary
cures by DR.. WALKERS CALIFORNIA VIM
EGAR BITTERs, which have seemed in

them, as many of those who vouch for
them are persons whose veracity we can
guarantee. The newspapers TEEN with
testimonials of this character, and there
is an air of particularly and of truth about
them which cannot be resisted. One
manifest superiority the VINEGAR BIT

Tonic preparations. 1t contains none of
the burning fluids with which most adver-
tised Bitters are impregnated. 1t cannot
create Fever. Instead of clouding the
brain, it clears it if clouded 1t is well
known that Alcohol, even of the purest
description, weakens and untones the
stomach instead of bracing it, and is,
therefore, poison in cases of Indigestion

the cheap FSre-ao0ter employed in making
ordinary Bitters and Tinctures, on the
weakened and inf1amed digestive organs.

the appetite and relaxes the bowels DR..

remedies have just as much authority as
any standard remedies of the faculty. We
believe they are destined to become a
household medicine. sG4

How a Bad Practice is FOstered.

THERE is good deal said in censure of
the custom of jumping off and on cars
when in motion. 1t is righteous condem-
nation, but is not consistent when COM
ing from railroad companies. If they
truly desire reform, they must begin at
home, for as long as employees will jump
on train when in motion, and persist in
doing it as gracefully as they do, an imi-
tative public will be the sufferers People
don't Jump on train before it stops, be-
cause they are in hurry, but because
they have seen a brakeman or conductor
do it, and have terrible dread of being
surpassed. Now, at the station, the other
Cay, Conductor Phillips, of the Eastern
train, after giving the word to start,
waited until the last car reached him, and
then, raising one hand to the rail, and one
foot gently from the earth, he swung ma
jestically around, and was at once firmly
on the car. Mr.. Phillips weighs two
hundred pounds, but there was such
grace and poetry in his motion that he
seemed to. blend with the Car. First, there
was yellow paint, and then gold leaf and
maroon, and Phillips. There was an
elderly person who saw Phillips do this,
and his eyes g2istened with anticipation.
He was going on the Western train, and
when it came along he waited until fine
rate of speed was gained, and then. rails
ing his hand and leg just as he had seen
Phillips do, and looking carelessly away,
just as Phillips did, he reached out for
the rail, and the next instant was trying
to push his head through the platform
planks, and fighting the air with his heels,
and madly paving around with his hands,
and swearing and praying at an awful
rate. They stood him up on his feet, and
rubbed his head with some snow, but it
was long time before they could con-
vince him that the locomotive had not
exploded. -DGn6at1y Meas. .t

In Dickens American Notes, written
in 1912, the great novelist dwelt on the
melancholy condition of the con-
victs of the Philadelphia peniten-
tiary, who are compelled to pass
their lives in solitary confinement. Mr..
Dickens instanced the caseof one Charles
Langheimer, who was never permitted to
see anything but the cold stone walls of
his dungeon, conjectured that he could
not possibly live in his cell more than
five or six years, and entered in his vol
ume a prediction to that effect. But
Dickens is dead, and Mr.. Charles Lang
heimer still inhabifs the cell in which
Dickens left him. He is 10 years old, is
well and hearty, has spent more than half
his life in solitary confinement, and says
he prefers that manner of life to any other
-Egehange.
