A Delgilim Story.

We quot fom the Bclgiu IL new,
papers the following account of dread
ful tragedy that occurred in little vii
lage near Brussels. A farmer and his
wife had plotted to murder their niece
during her sleep, to rob her Of 600
frances that she was taking to her sick
mother. In order to foil the future
rehes of the police, they, previou ,ly
perpetrating the crime, were engaged
in digging large hole in their garden,
SO as TO bury TIE body in it, when the
young girl, who, not beng asleep, had
heard her terrible sentence, rushed out
by the window and ran to the police
station, distant ono mile only.
But ss soon as she was out, tho dauyh
ter Of the farmer, who was not expected
home that uight, camo back, aud net
wishing to awaken anybody in the
house, went nois4lessly into the bed
where her cousin had been lying few
minutes ago. She soon fell asleep, and
thus her mother, not being aware of the
Provide tal substitution, owing to the
darkness OF the night, broke her own
daughters neck with an axe.
This being done, the two were ,o;no
to the s'r''n, earring .ho corpse, en-
'".'pcd 10 bolspread, when two gen
.armes, accompanied by the fugitive
girl, rushed into the house with lanterns
in their hands.
At the sight of their niece, whom
they thought they had murdered, the
two wretches took off the covering and
found their unfortunate child killed by
their own hands.
The man, taking largo butcher
knife, plunged it into his breast and fell
dead on the ground. AS to the woman,
who was prevented from committing
suicide, she became insane, and is now
shut up in lunatic asylum, where she
is expected soon to die from mental
exhaustion. a more horrible account
has rarely been registered in the annals
Of crime.

Scene in q Smoking Car.

The following amusing incident 90
CURED recently in the smoking car of
q. G. and j. q. railroad train, between
Shelby and Cleveland. Says the Cleve
land Times:
A woman with poodle dog entered
the car just prior to the departure of the
train from the former point, and after
dcpo sting her dog on the seat, turned
over the baok Of another one, so that
each seat faced the other. Together,
she and her canine companion thus
menopolized the entire seats Appear
ances seemed to indicate that the car as
one exclusively for the convenience OF
those addicted to the use of the "wced;"
but Of this fact she was soon advised by
the conductor, who advised her at the
same time that the accommodations in.
the other coaches were superior to those
where she vas then. However, she in
sisted on remaining, urging that her pre-
sence would deter the occupants of tho
Car from smoking, and she would CON
selueutly experience no discomfort
from tobacco fumes. Long before the,
train reached this city, however, gentle
man sitting dirsotly.in front Of her pro
duccd his case, and, taking therefrom .
cigar, began putting away at it in man
ner which seemed peou liarly calculated
to aggravate the woman back of him. In
an instant stragtegtic movement, shs
wrcsted the obhoxious cigar from his hand
and threw it out of the window, exelaim
ing, "1f there IS anything I De De I.., l.s.e = e
is tobacco smoke" The passengers Who
had witnessed the affair were conyulsed
with laughter, but the offending smoker
suppressed whatever emotions may have
b.en struggling for expression in words
or action, and maintained through eat
the same imper2rbable gravity which
had characterized him from the first.
Calmly rising from his seat, he opened
the window nearest him, fastening Il up,
and reaching over the seatback, took M.
that woman's poodle dog aud threw it
out of the window as far beyond as
possible, at the same time saying, nif
there is anything l do hate, it's poodle

An Erect Posture.

a writer on health very justly con
dcmns the habit of louasing, in which
large Numbers of persons indulge, as
injurious to health. He says: 'An

Importance to health than it is generally
imagined. Crooked bolily positions
maintained for any length of time, are
always injurious, wh,ther in tn, sitting,
standing or lying posture, whether slesp.
ing or walking. To sit with tho body
leaning forward on the stom .ch, or to
one side, with the heels elevated to d
level with the head, is not only in bli
taste, but exceedingly detrimental to
health 1t cramps the stomach presses
the vital organs; interrupts the free mo
tions of the chest, and enfeebles the
functions of the abdominral and thoracic
organs, and, in fact, unbalances the
whole muscular system. Many children
become slightly hump backed, or severe
ly round shouldered, by sleeping with
the head raised on high pillow; whed
any person finds it easier to sit or stand,
or sleep in crooked position than in
