The Soothing Scandal.

The Detroit Free Press says: "The
other night a woman about thirty years
old was arrested in the western district
for disturbing the peace, and the event
almost distracted her, although she had
seen the inside of cell before. She be-
gan howling and weeping as soon as she
was locked up, and Bijah, the janitor OF
the Ninth avenue station, felt his heart
getting tender. He offered her harvest
apple, but she merely stopped long
enough to see what it was, and then went
on crying out: l am dying, l know
amp He besought her to live for the
sake of her husband, who is always on
the lakes, but she said she would be cold
in death before morning if not set at
liberty. He showed her the almanac and
tried to induce her to peruse it and set
tie her mind, but she tried to pull his
hair through the bars and raised her voice
until it could be heard two blocks away.
He began reading the almanac out loud,
but she drowned his voice and he had to
give up. Then he went out and bought
some peppermint drops and handed them
to her, saying that it was burning shame
to arrest lady like her for merely hit
ting another woman on the ear with a
shovel. She was quiet for a few minutes
and then broke out again, and the roof of
the station seemed to be rising up. Bijah
offered her a pound of gum-drOPs, new
bonnet, a black silk dress, house and lot,
and $4,000 in bonds if she would only
quit, but she danced up and down and
yelled: Lemme eout or shall di-ah! y
He locked all the doors and sat down on
the front steps to let her exhaust herself,
but, after an hour and ten minutes, there
being no cessation, he ran in with an axe
on his shoulder, and threatened to cut her
head off if she didn't stop. l won'tl |
won't l won't' she shouted, dancing
up and down and taking a fresh start.
He drummed on the coal-scuttle with an
axe to drown her voice, but the voice
drowned the scuttle. He put the hose
on the penstocl1 and threatened to drown
her, but she shut her eyes and pitched
her voice on new key. The old man
was in despair. The man upstairs
couldn't sleep, and people outdoors
thought that panther had been Gagged.
As the officer rubbed his bald head and
looked around his eve lighted on an old
paper, and his smile extended from ear
to ear. He carried it in, turned up the
gas, and shouted, Have you read the
Beecher scandal yet?' Read what? p
she exclaimed, suddenly ceasing to
scream. THE Beecher-Tilton NATTER
he continued, this 'ere thing which
everybody is talking about?' No.
Where is it?' she asked, and he passed in
the paper, telling her that if she would
be good he'd hunt up the rest of the state
ment in another paper, and from that
moment until daylight the woman never
uttered a word, except once when she
asked if there weren't seven or eight
more papers with statements in"

Cut them on Thursday, new pair of shoes;
Cut them on Friday, you'll cut them for woe;
Cut them on Saturday, journey TO go;
Cut them on Sunday, you'll cut them for evil;

People who prefer wetting the winters
store of coal to lay the dust on putting. it
in their cellars do not, we believe,
generally know that they are laying up
for themselves a store of sore throats and
evils consequent upon the practice But
SO it is said to be- Even the firedamp
which escapes from coal mines arises from
the slow decomposition Of coal at
temperatures but little above that of the
atmosphere, but under augmented
pressure. BY weighing a mass of freshly
broken coal and putting it in a warm
cellar, the mass is heated to such degree
that carbureted and sulphureted hydrogen
are given off for long periods of time and
pervade the whole house. The liability of
wet coal to mischievous results under such
circumstances may be appreciated from
the circumstances that there are several
Instances on record of spontaneous
combustion Of wet coal when slowed into
the bunkers or holds of vessels. And from
this cause, doubtless, many missing coal
vessels have perished.-London Medical
Record.

The PerIIs of the svv iss Alps.

Captain and Mrs Lockhart, of Scotland,
have been staying for some time at the
Krone Hotel, Pontresina. Mrs. Lock
hart, accompanied by two ladies, whose
acquaintance she had made at the hotel,
left the Krone to ascend one of the nights
adjacent, the beautiful Rosegg glacier.
The object of the ascent was to secure
the Eidelweiss, the famous flower. which
grows only at a height of 8, 600 or 10. 900
feet above the level of the sen. Mrs.
Lockhart slipped and fell over a
perpendicular rock a distance of fifteen
feet, then rolled over a steep, classy
slope, then over another rock, and so on
to the procipice, the mouth of which was
stopped by a bush. Altogether the fall
was about fifty or sixty feet. Her friends
were separated from her, and she was
invisible, bat her means were audible.
One Of the ladies descended from her
perilous position and ran breathless down
the narrow road, where she hailed car
riage, in which were II lady and two gen.
tleman.
The Young lady declared that there was
Il lady killed on the rocks, and implored
the gentleman Of the party to hasten TO

peasants came up, but they did not know
what to do. Sir George Robinson
followed, and some brandy having been
administered to Mrs Lockhart. life
seemed to return. She was fearfully cut
in the head and face, and the wounds
were clothed with grass and hair. All that
she could say that her back was sore
Able guides speedily appeared, but the
lady seemed sinking fast. At length,
after careful wrapping up and admins

unconcious lady was carried down to the

Death of a Female Hermit.

The life of Mary Ham, of Rye. New
Hampshire, who recently died at the age
of 90, was romantic and interesting in the
highest degree. For the IS years
Immediately proceeding her death she lived
the life of a hermit in a lonely hut. to
which water and the broom were strangers
during all her residence in il, and which
was so filthy that an ordinary person
could hardly bear to be in it for a moment.
Here she ate and slept and got drunk,
and was never glad to see company. The
only thing that IN any measure relieved
this hotel of its dreariness was package
of well-worn love-letters, and these
explained her eccentric life. She was
very much admired when twenty wears
old, and was very coquettish. withal
but she finally fell in love with one Charles
Waldron, and their lovelettors were of
the warmest sort. He tired of her
ickleness, however, and dismissed her.
This broke her heart, but u make il
appear that she cared nothing for it, she
engaged herself to a brilliant Young
scapegraee named John Ham, who had
been expelled from Dartmouth College,
and being himself disappointed in love,
married her in fit of recklessness. He
died nineteen years ago, and ever after she
lived her strange life. There have been
many interesting stories told about her,
one of which was that she had a large
sum of money cancelled in the hut, but a
search after her death disproved this.
The letters, however, showed that her
love affairs had gone so far that her
wedding outfit had been prepared and the
day appointed, when the thunderbolt
came. The circumstances of her last
sickness led to the supicion that she had
been poisoned. She was found with
bottle by her side lying on bed in the
EXTREMIST agony; but rum mental suffering
probably account for ALL The town
authorities determined to ''clean" out her
den few days before her death but they
were obliged to tear her from it, screaming
and struggling, and the publication
required two days work and d boneire.
Thd neighbors gave her every comfort
possible in her closing hours, and niece
whom she had not seen for twenty years
visited her, and the old woman recognized
her.-Springfeld (Mass.) Republican

The Autumn Waists.

Fashion Letter in Chicago Tribune.
Waists are as likely to meet as many
notifications as any portion Of the cos
tune. The chhtelaine bodices or corset
waists, as they are called indiferently.
will be very popular for evening robes,
as, indeed, they have been during the
summer. They are excessively trying
to every figure; only round but not
stout form should dare to wear one.
They used to fit the person without a
wrinkle yet the simplicity of their de-
sign forbids any trimming, which is al
ways timely to cover defects in fit The
edge of the waist where the skirt is sewed
is usually finished by large soft cord
and fril of lace, which produce
charming and picturesque effect. For a
perfectly natural fgure-one, that is,
whose original shape has never been dis
torted by corsets or close waists-no
bodice is so becoming as the chatelaine
but, more than any other style, a perfect
form is required TO wear it well. The
cuirass-waist promises fairly for the fu-
ture, and plated and gathered (including
surplice) waist will be widely popular.
\ noticeable tendency exists toward
round waists with belts, but it is to be
hoped that this will be checked in its in
fancy. We really cannot spare overskists,
and polonaises (if we have to-, and
basques all at once. There can hardly
be any doubt of the prominence of the
sleeveless jackets in autumn and winter
wardrobes. While many persons are
triae weary Of them, they are yet 80 at
tractive, becoming and convenient that
they will not be spared before another
year.
