TONES FOR WOMEN.

Nothing makes a woman age more rap
idly than overwork-the reason, proba-
bly,, that American women fade so soon.
Sunshine, music, work and sleep are the
greatest medicines for women, who need
more sleep than men. Their nerves are
more sensitive, and they are not SO
strong, and exhaustion from labor OF
pleasure takes place sooner with them
than men. Never permit yourself to be
reused out of deep sleep in the morn
ing. In fact, one should never be wax
ened. The body rouses itself when It's
demands are satisfied. Take warm
bath occasionally before going to bed
at least once n week Retire as soon as
you feel sleepy in the evening don't
rouse yourself and go to work. You
need rest then, and will pay for the tres
pass on your physical nature the next
day if you disobey.

There was an execution in Maryland
town on the 10Th ult., attended by the
usual motley crowd of men, women, and
children. Just before the victim of the
law was swung off, the Sheriff in charge
mounted the scaffold, and with exquisite
tenderness of feeling remarked: "There
is good many little boys and girls here
and you bigpeople must fall back against
the fence and let the little ones come up
around the gallows, so as they can see. "
The big people took the hint, and the
"little ones !" availed themselves of the
opportunity of crowoing close to the gal
lows. Then the rope was adjusted and
the condemned criminal was strangled in
presence of the interested spectators,
the process requiring just twenty-five
minutes.

CHINESE EITE-DAT.

Kite-day in China writes traveler)
occurs ON the ninth day of the ninth
moon, when the inhabitants of the cities
go out upon the hills and spend the day
in flying kites Sometimes thirty or for
ty thousand people are assembled to-
gether ON one hill, where they engage
all day in this amusement. All manner
of birds, insects and fishes are represent
ed by these gay kites. On fine day,
when the air is full of them, the effect is
very pleasing. Some of them are adorned
with the heads of dragons and tigers.
The spectator sees in the air what ap-
pears to be an immense bird, or group of
hawks. The Chinese show great skill In
keeping half dozen paper hawks going
ON one string.

GREELEY, BENNETT And RIT--
MOND.

Near the crest of heavily-wooded
declivity in Greenwood Cemetery is a
plain marble shaft bearing the name of
Henry J. Raymond. The tomb, al
though perfectly isolated, is yet within
six rods of the most frequented part of
the grounds. The lot was chosen by
Mr.. Raymond, and the selection is.
characteristic of the man. In public life
he sought place near the front, but not
at the actual front, as was best illustrated
by the great work of his life, the found
ing of the Times In that he aimed at q
middle line between the mental eccen-
tricity of the Tribune and the moral &C.
centricity of the Herald, at the time of
those great newspapers greatest great
ness, marking out for the Times mean
between the two extremes.
The costly tomb of James Gordon
Bennett, conspicuously fronting one OF
the busiest avenues in the cemetery, is.
such sepulcher in such spot as Mr.
Bennett might have been expected to-
choose, although the lot is believed to-
have been selected and the marbles;
chiseled under the direction of Mrs. Ben
nett. 1t was the day-dream of his life
that by keeping the Herald in the vortex
of New York business life, and by en-
livening it with wit that his successors
have not understood, much less emulated,
he might make it the journal of the fu-
ture and he did not hesitate to say as.

prodigiously successful.

4 TEXAS TR1GTDY.

Helen Rodius was the belle of Selma,
Tex, and John Kincaid, planter, was
her unaccepted lover. Two years ago,
again asking her to marry him and again
hearing her refusal, he told her he could
no longer bear to live near her. 81 am
going to Mexico" he said, "and 1 for
bid you to marry anybody else. If 1
hear of your disobeying this injunction
will come back and kill YOU" He
went away, and Helen thought lightly of
his threat. After while she fell in
love with a druggist named Faust, and
married him. A month ago they attended
public ball, and Helen was astonished
to see her rejected lover there. He was
affable at first, but as the night wore on
he drank excessively of brandy and then
disappeared. Faust took his wife home,
and then started for Houston on bust
ness. In the morning she was found
stabbed to death in bed, and Kincaid
has not been seen In Selma since.

BRTGH4M'S NIGHT IN JAIL.

Brigham Young is In Jail. Whatever
temporal consolation and soul-cOmfort
Chief Justice Mexican and the men with
whom he associates can gather from this
fact, they now enjoy. At 10 o'clock the
defendant appeared in court in answer
to q warrant of attachment to show cause
why he should not be punished as for a
contempt, which contempt consisted in
his not having paid within the designated
time the $1,000 attorneys fees to Ann
Eliza's lawyers. Judge Mexican having
refused to allow him to retire during the
arguments, as he requested, on account
of illness, President Young sat in court
till he was escorted out by Deputy United
States Marshal Smith, at 1 o'clock. The
room was crowded with spectators, and
soon after court opened the rush became
so great as to necessitate the locking Of
DOORS The defendant manifested not
the slightest uneasiness or excitement
during the proceedings, and when he
was adjudged guilty of contempt of
court, and sentenced to fine and i'm
prisonment, he was not disconnected
the least. Mr.. Jack, the defendant
chief clerk, paid to the plaintiffs attor-
neys the $1,000. Deputy Smith took
charge of the defendant, escorted him to
his Ooung's) carriage, and drove to the
prisoners residence. At his residence,
President Young ate his dinner, procured
such clothing, bedding, etc., as he re-
quired for night in Jail, and in the
midst of a severe snow-storm was taken
to the Penitentiary. President Young
was locked in the only cell at the insti-
tuition, with a dozen or more convicted
criminals and men awaiting trial for al
legged crimes. However, he was held in
that place only shor. time, when he
was furnished a room attached to the
Warden's quarters, where he spent the
night. When the news of the incarcera-
ton spread throughout the city there
was considerable excitement in some
quarters. The intelligent, respectable
portion of the community-even those
openly opposed to the religious system
of which Brigham Young is the head
are unanimous in the verdict that though
Mexican may be technically justified by
the law he Is guilty of an unchristian
and unfeeling act.-SdH Lake Herald

HOW PARLIAMENT SILENCES A
RORE


The Nation says, in speaking of DR..
Kenealy: "He will do less harm in the
House of Commons than anywhere else.
The House has rough-and-ready way of
dealing with eccentricities. Every man
who comes within the rigid criticism of
that assembly soon finds his level. Every
newcomer, it matters not what he is, is
treated at first with courtesy and consid-
Grafton. The House always listens with
attention, and generally with good ma
trlre, to maiden speech, and anything
like diffidence or nervousness it treats
with heniency and generous encourage
ment. But self-assertion or bumptous-
ness it cannot abide, and it is cruelty in
tolerant of bores and one-idead men.
DIR. Kenealy will meet with studious
consideration when he first essays to
speak But if he persists in parading the
Orion grievance upon the attention of
the House, his reception will be very
/ different from that which awaited him at
Stoke. The House has many effective
way of silencing bore. An animated
conversation carried on in every corner
by the various members seated in their
places soon deadens the voice of even
the most animated speaker. A chorus of
cries of divide, divide, wide, vide,

ever the speaker opens his mouth, en-
harnesses even the most hardened orator.
But the most effective way of bringing O
one-idead man to his senses is the proc
ess of counting out, and this is proba-
bly, the course that will be followed with
the chosen of Stoke. 1t is rule of the
House that forty members must be pres
emit. When an orator becomes trouble
some, a stampede of members takes place
from the House to the Hobbies, or the
smoking-rooms, or the library. Some
one gets up from a back bench, and calls
the Speakers attention to the sparse at
tendance. The Speaker counts the

bers present, orders the electric bell
to be rung and the sand-giass to b'

A. T. Stewart first bought few laces
at auction, and opened his way to sue

things both great and small, have made
him the monumental merchant of the
nineteenth century.

Last Friday night Mr.. John X. Markill,
of Norfolk, st. Lawrence county, in this
State, returned home late, having been
detained by storm, and, going out some
time after to care for his team, was just
in the act of opening his stable door when
he was seized from behind by panther,
which attempted to grapple his throat,
and he was carried to the ground, falling
on his back. SO sudden was the attack
that for moment Mr.. Markill was, part
ly stunned, but quickly realizing his
danger he attempted to draw his jacknife,
at the same time calling loudly for help.
In the meantime the animal had
fastened his jaws on the side of his
victims neck but, owing to the heavy
collar of Mr.. Markil's coat, which was
fortunately turned up, and a fur collar
around his neck, the animals teeth did
not penetrate the flesh, although the
pressure, as described by Mr.. MARKELL,
was such as to almost entirely prevent
his breathing. His alarm brought to
his assistance, very soon, large and
ferocious dog, which at once fastened on
the throat of the formidable foe. The
animal then turned on his new antag-
onist, and for q moment terrific battle
ensued. After a prolonged struggle,

A NEEDLE THE HEART

A little six-year-old daughter of Col.
J. d. Jeffress, whose residence is at 1016
Washington street, died last Sunday in
very painful and curious manner. On
Friday the little one was playing at sew
ing. Some noise in the street made her
run to the window, and, III true house
wifery style, she stuck the needle in the
bosom of her dress for safe keeping. In
leaning over the sill her weight drove the
needle into her breast, Immediately over
the heart. The child screamed, and in her
efforts to draw the needle broke it off
short. DR.. Chas. McQuesten was called
as soon as possible. The messenger was
not sufficiently intelligent to explain the
trouble, and the doctor, thinking it some
ordinary childish complaint, took with
him no surgical instruments. This occa-
stoned adelay of half an hour, as the ply
stefan had to return to his Office. He put
the child under the influence of chloro-
form. Search was made for the fragment
of steel. The breast was laid open to the
bone Immediately over the wound. Part
of the needle was found in the bone, but
the struggle of the little one had broken
off the point, which had penetrated the
cavity of the chest, and was thus beyond
the reach of the surgeons knife. 1t was
| hoped that the bit of Steel would not
touch the heart but find its way into the
circulation and out, and has so frequent
ly happened in similar cases. The child
did not appear to suffer greatly and the
fears of the parents were almost allayed
On Sunday, when Mrs. Jeffress returned
from church, Viola ran to meet her quite
gaily and in apparent health. The mex
moment, however, the child was seize(
with vomiting fit, and in less than al
hour was dead. DIR. McQuesten, IL
company with DR.. Bird, made a pos

death. The poor child had frequentl,

ENGLISH TAUGHT IN ONE LESSON.
At many of the New York restaurants

a very heavy French style" is put on
the walters are mostly Frenchmen, and
the bill of fare is often printed in
French. A correspondent writes that,
venturing out early one morning in New
York, he dropped into the first restaurant
he came to, which happened to be one of
the kind spoken Of.
Carelessly giving an order, the waiter,
bringing his shoulders up under his ears,
responded:
"Je he parle pas anglais, M'sieur, y
and the hungry man had to point out his
wants on the bill of fare, with which,
after considerable delay, he was served.
Just here entered another customer,
tall, powerful fellow, evidently fresh
from the Western prairies, who, settling
himself into chair, ordered "beef-
steak, fried potatoes, hot bread, n cup
of coffee.
To him the grinning Frenchmal re-
peated the same formula:
"Je he parle pas anglais, M'sieur.'
The Western man looked at him for a
moment, and then rising from his seat,
like the opening of big jackknife with
stiff spring, he slowly calculated, as he
clenched a wicked-looking fist:
"Beefsteak-fried potatoes-hot bread
cup of coffee, quick"
The effect on the waiter was magical
There never was q man served more
promptly with Just what he ordered fol
breakfast than the hungry Westerner.
