Not So Poor rs She Seemed.

A letter from Phenixville, Pa, to the
Philadelphia Times says: On Wednes-
day last woman calling herself Sarah
E. l.. Walker, of Bridgeport, CT, ar
rived in our town. She was about 40
years of age, slovenly dressed, but of
pleasing manners and evidently quite
well educated. She was of a religious
turn of mind, and carried with her an
Episcopal hymn-book. She stopped at
the Mansion House, and bought her fru-
gal meals, consisting of cheese, behring's
and crackers, at a grocery store. All day
Tuesday heavy snow fell, and through
this the woman plodded her way through
the streets selling stencil plates. She
thus took heavy cold, which settled on
her breast, and on Friday morning she
WAS unable to leave her room. A physi-
clan, being summoned, found her affec-
ton to be congestion of the lungs She
continued to grow worse until Saturday
evening, when, while sitting on chair
in her room alone, her head fell forward
on feather bed, and, being unable to
lift or relieve herself from the position,
she was smothered to death. During
her sickness she intimated to the land
lady that she was better provided with
this worlds goods than appearances
would indicate; that she should care for
her kindly, and she would not regret it.
When the Coronors inquest was held a
sickening sight met the eyes of the iu-
rors. The body of the woman was filthy,
dirty, and covered with vermin, and her
wardrobe was very scanty. AS she had
informed the wife of the landlord, she
was no pauper, as indicated by an exam
nation of her clothes In the hens of
her understands were found ten bank
books, showing that the woman had de-
posts to a considerable amount in diff
ferent Connecticut banking institutions.
Certificates of stock in Nutmeg State
banks were also found. These bank
books and papers show her account in
the banks to amount to about $40, 900.
Besides these a document showing that
the deceased had removed judgment
from property willed to her by her
mother was also discovered This mort
gage was worth $1,000, and the COM
bined wealth found on her person after
death was $4,000.

Fight Between Man and Lion.

Some time ago, in Tunis, Sicilian
athlete of Rinaldo's circus excited gen.
eral admiration by his manly beauty and
feats of strength. He was in the habit
of overcoming lion during the per-
Torrance, which, however, was trained
to succumb. The Bey of Tunis, hearing
of this, sent him an offer of 200 ducats
ii he would kill q lion which he pos
sessed. The proposal was accepted,
and, on the day appointed, the Bey and
a large company gathered around the pit
where the lion was kept. The beast had
been three days without food, and was
furious. The iron door OF the pit was
opened, but, instead of the athlete, a
trembling dog was thrown forward, which
timidly took refuge in corner. The
lion, who was at u distance, turned in
surprise at the humble intruder His
tail ceased to lash his sides, his roars
ceased, and he sat, with paws extended,
contemplating his victim. Propelling
himself forward upon his belly, he final
ly made a spring. The dog, however,
who had watched him with vigilant eye,
sprang in the opposite direction. The
lion seemed astonished at missing his
prey, but, after rolling over few times,
made another Jump, which was also
avoided Pity for the dog induced the
Bey to order a cord to be lowered for
him, and, while the lion was gyrating
preparatory TO renewed spring, the dog
intelligently seized the cord with his
teeth and was drawn up. AS he ascend
ed, the lion sprang again, but was too
late. AT this moment the Sicilian sp-
peared, calm and fearless. He was in q
rich circus costume, and carried heavy
mace. He took his position in the same
corner previously occupied by the dog.
AT first the lion did not perceive him,
but, on turning, his eye expressed a
vague inquietude. He slowly withdrew
a few steps, watching his enemy with a
furtive and sidelong glance. The Sicil-
ian, on the contrary. looked straight in
his eye, and watched every movement
The lion evidently had misgivings, but,
impelled by hunger, sprang VI on the
man with terrible roar. The Sicilian
slipped aside with agility, and, before the
paws of the lion touched the ground, a
violent blow from the mace upon the
head laid him insensible. The mace
was raised for the death blow, when the
Bey interposed. He offered the man
another thousand for the life of the
beast. 1t was accepted, and the hon was
allowed TO recover.

Russian Industries.

The Russian Government appears to
be steadily acquiring a more active
solicitude for the development of its ma
tional industrial resources. On March
20 the German iron manufacturers
were thunderstruck at the receipt of an
imperial order from st. Petersburg to
the effect that hereafter all locomotive
and rolling stock purchased by Russian
railways must be manufactured in
Russia. This is another heavy blow to
German industry. To enable the rail-
ways to obtain locomotives and carriages
in Russia, the Government will allow
the materials to be imported duty free,
and will pay premiums and subsidies to
Russian manufacturers. The decree
seems at present applicable to new COM
panies only, but to be gradually extend
ed to existing companies as home manu-
facturers develop their works and can
supply the demand. Hra rIro

A ChirOpOdist's Card.

A San Francisco corn doctor was sum-
moned by a man who lived iodr miles
out of the city. Hastily gathering up
his case of instruments, files, and acids,
he walked through the pouring rain to
the address indicated, and was shown
into the parlor. The physician sent up
his card, and shortly after the door
opened, and forid man, with I'M
steady legs, entered the apartment.
"How do, Doc? Take seat. Didn't
think you'd come out in this rain, but
you're n regular brick, and L knew it
when L read your card. i wish you'd
come and live out here. The whole
neighborhood are n set of darned teeto-
talers." The practitioner opened his
case of instruments, and asked his patient
to put up his foot on chair. The man
assented, remarking that he never felt
more comfortable in his life He re-
scented, however, all efforts of the doctor
to pull off his socks, and threatened to
shoot him for attempting to haul his
boots off. "How can / treat you unless
L see your corns?" cried the chiropodist.
"Corns be blowed !" answered the
dweller in the suburbs. I" amt got no
corns Don't your card say Gentle
men treated at their own residences 2
and / sent for you because am out of
liquor, and | want some brandy pretty
darned quick" There was cry OF
anguish as the doctor took his largest
file and rubbed all the skin off his pa
tents nose. EXCHANGE.

Professional Criminals In England.

The register of habitual criminals in
England and Wales for the years 1869 to
1876, has just been printed in the print
ing works of Her Majesty's prison, Brix-
ton. The ponderous volume is bound in
black, and contains the names of II, 1874
criminals, with all their aliases.
A summary of the proportions OF ha-
bitual criminals born in particular local
tiles gives rather surprising results.
Stafford stands at the head of the list,
raised to that bad eminence by 80 crimi-
nails out of population of 10, 946, which
gives the rate of 1881 professional GRIM
inals to every l 200 inhabitants. Wor-
cester comes next with 81 criminals out of
population of 80, 116, rate of l. 745 to
the 1000. Where the numbers are SO
small the difference might seem the re-
suit of chance, but the returns extend
over seven years. Taunton comes next
with ~ criminals, among 10, 466 inhab-
itants, proportion OF 1.745; aud Lam
caster has proportion of 1.6Sl to the
1000, or 80 out of 17,245. Manchester,
Hereford, Wigan, Preston, Shrewsbury,
Liverpool, Stockport, Warrington, Glou-
cester, Cheltenham, Blackburn, Birming-
ham, Bristol, Chester and Hanley follow
close.
The metropolis, which heads the list
for number of habitual criminals, pro-
ducing nearly three times as many
as Manchester, the next town on the list
has the low proportion of .461 in /, 900
when it's habitual criminals are compared
with its total population. London thus
comes out not only better than the towns
already mentioned, but better than such
places as Yarmouth, Ipswich, Brighton,
Oxford and Cambridge. The places
which produced more than 100 habitual
criminals were London, Manchester
$500, Liverpool (55D, Birmingham
(343), Leeds (2l0), Bristol $50, Shef-
field Q72), Preston Q12); 4,447 of the
criminals come from towns or villages
which contribute fewer than 20 to the
returns.
The habitual criminals whom Ireland
contributes to the prisons in England
and Wales were 1852 in number. Those
who had been born in Scotland were 1913.
OF the total number of prisoners, S,612
were males, 1861 females. In spite of
the merciful presumption of the law as
to women acting under the direction of
their husbands, the percentage of mar
ried female prisoners was So II. On the
other hand, the single men were twice as
numerous as the married men (672 per
centum of the whole to 1913 per
centum) .-LOadOn Times.

A Fortunate Runaway.

Last Saturday night week as Prof. Lit
Teton was on the way from Mokelumne
Hill to San Andreas, when ON top of the
hill at Pine Peak, he was stopped by two
men who asked what time it was. One
of the men stood at the horses head and
the other on the side. The professor
told them that he had left his watch at
home, and they then demanded some
money, which they said had been sent
over with him. He told them that the
money was sent over by another man
which was the fact. About this time
something frightened his horse, which
started and made good time down the
hill, partly running over the man in front
of him. The professor got down in front
of the seat, and was soon carried out of
danger.-Sacran,ento (Cdl.) Record

The Turk as a Business Man.

The story goes that, some years ago, a
French diplomat went to see promi-
nent Turk in the finance administration
at Constantinople, and said to him
"Look here, how about that interest
which falls due in four daysa How do
you expect to pay it? You haven't got
a penny at your disposition just now;
your creditors in my country will be in
tensely dissatisfied if they are not paid.
What's to be done ?" "Well," said the
Turk, 1--WE must put it off until some
future date" "But this is one of those
things which cannot be put off," urged
the diplomat. The Turk arose with
great dignity, and said: "My friend,
learn that there is nothing which cannot
be put off except the day of ones death. y
That is Turkish doctrine, and the Moslem
smiles when you endeavor to teach him
anything different.-Paris Cor. Boston

Some Experience with q Mule.

Sometime ago mule that was pulling
dray along b street slipped ON the ice
and fell in such manner that his owner
saw at glance that he could only be
got on his feet with great care and labor.
Immediately crowd collected and began
to give advice.
"Cut the harness !"
"Hold down his head !"
81 Pull out the shafts u
"Loosen the check-rein y
"Push his hind leg over"
"Unbuckle the belly-strapP
"Turn him over!"
"Lift him up 7"
"Look a. here, fellows J" remarked the
driver, "chin music can't git up mule.
Ii you take so blamed much interest IN
the case, spose you get down and help a
little"
The crowd rushed to the work at once.
Mayor Kaneen got hold of his head, Long
Brown sat on his flank, and Jack Magee
got hold of his fore foot. A number OF
other prominent citizens got round the
edge of the mule and took hold.
"Now, boys, well lift him up; heave
to-" and they made mighty effort to
put him ON his pins. The mule rose
like an instruction of the Louisiana
blacks, and when he let his hind leg out
it put Long Brown slap up against the
back steps of the International Hotel.
Then it tried to turn handspring and
the sole of his fore hoof found hiding
place in the diaphragm of Magee, and
is gulp of dissatisfaction made the boys
along the street laugh with delight.
The great aim of the parties who had
the mule was now to hold him down.
He was changed from passive to an
aggressive mule in a twinkling Like
the sea in a calm, it was placid and dor
mant, but the breath of the tempest made
it aggressive and all-devouring. The
sweep of its long hind leg commanded
the respect of all who saw it. The strokes
of its hoof fell on the cart like the shock
of the oceans pillows upon the rocks;
the cart began to succumb, and dissolve
into kindling-wood and tooth-picks. The
harness began to fly, and one after an
other the fragments went flying. There
was stock in that mule, but the stock
holders began to drop it like so much
Rye Patch or Golden Chariot. The
mule flung off its parasites, and, rising
with snort, shot for the hills. 81
knowed all de time you couldn't hold dat
mule, " remarked Jamaica niger to the
crowd, which slowly dispersed, leaving
the owner to gather up the fragments OF
his cart and harness. Virginia Chroni-
