Six Young Ladies Their Conversation
Reported by the PhOn0gragh.

A rainy afternoon kept six young
ladies in the house, and for three hours
their tongues ran at such rate that a
successful Keely motor, could it have
heard them, would have committed sui
eide out Of sheerenvy. The phonograph
was loafng in the room during the CON
versation, and the next day when the
crank was turned it spoke very VERIFY
timically as follows: ..i!a2 n r

with-Charley EdwardS mustache looks

/ And SO on, ct cetera, ad infnitum, to
the extent of three columns all about
the beaux and dress; and the phono-
graph was sick for two days after being
relieved of the stuff. When q, young
lady reads this she will Indignantly OBJ
serve that if phonograph was to sneak
into a room and absorb the conversation
of half dozen young, men, it would
swear more than a Brete Harte poem
when the handle was turned, and would
smell of sulphur and birthstone for. two
weeks afterward. And perhaps she
would tell the truth. s. "a

A FEMALE Hercules is astonishing
London: One Of herrfeats, we are told,
is to Gift an anvil by the hair of her
head, and place it on her bosom, while
three smiths forge horse shoe on it
with their hammers while she is talking
and singing all the while" There is
nothing so very remarkable in this feat
There is woman in this country who
permits couple of blacksmiths to use
her back for an anvil, and forge horse
shoes for the championship. Then she
will seize each; smith by the hair with
her teeth, hold them out at arms length,
swing them four times around her head,
and all the while they are singing and
whistling, and working, on the horse
shoes. At the present writing seventy
five men are at work building an iron
steamship on her breast. When it
comes to feats of female strength the
effete monarchies Of Europe must take
back seat.-Norristown Herald.

CHANGED His Mind 4 Little.

Another man wanting work went into
.Pultzer's shop, the other day, and in
sisted that he ought to havea job at once.
%" We can't do anything for you, my
good man," said the proprietor, +" "We
have more help now than we need, and

THE following is a description of a
young man in Little Rock, Ark, written
by himself: "You have no conception
of what wretched creature am; put
into this world with disposition proud
and naughty as any one ever was, hay
ing that pride continually humbled; /;
being poor, with inclinations and desires
which could be gratifed only by the
wealthy lacking all the elements that

ergy, perseverance, consistency, educa-

object of pity; I am afectionate, sem
sitive, and ignorant, respondent, weak,
vacillating, and altogether unfit to live,

ded, however, that he was more fit to
die than live, for he killed himself after
writing the above to his sister.

Fattening Brides.

Throughout the empire of Morocco
there are villages where the elder MEM
bers of the adult population follow pro-
fessionally the pursuit of fattening
Young ladies for the matrimonial market
of Barbary. The Moors, like the Turks
and most other Orientals, give decided
preference to moonfaced" wives over
lean ones, and are more solicitous as to
the number of pounds which their
brides weigh than about the stock of ac-
complishments which they possess. A
girl is put under the process Of fattening
when she is about twelve years of age.
Her hands are tied behind her, and she
is seated on carpet during 50 many
hours every day, while her papa
stands over her with mairague, or big
stick, and her mother at times pops into
her mouth ball of couscoussou, or stiff:
made porridge, kneaded up with grease,
and Just large enough to be swallowed
without the patient choking. If the un.
| fortunate girl declines to be crammed
she is compelled; SO that ere long the
poor girl resigns herself to the torture
and gulps down the boluses lest she
should be beaten.

THERE has been a remarkable case of

Sale of Widows. ]

A century ago the authorities of
town in Massachusetts, hit upon an in
genious expedient for disposing of their
widows who were tax upon the town.
1t started a pauper traffic, by selling the
poor annually q at .yendue," and it con-
tinued this business during many years.
In january, 1776, the widow Lowell
was added to the annual list, and at
vendue "the said widow Lowell was
struck off to Josiah Stevens, for to keep
one year for the sum of nine pounds six
shillings; and if she did not live the
year, he to have in that proportion
The widow LoveI's disposition was very
migratory Although sold and bought
for years service, the buyer seems to-
have considered her a bad, bargain, lit
orally, for in a few months Joshua
Briggs had her in his house, and also
had bill of fourteen pounds against
the town for keeping and clothing her.
| She became an expensive property to
the town. After, considerable knocking
about she finally died, and was buried
at the towns expense. But one of these
widows, Jane George by name, seemed
determined not to die, but lived on
until she outlived all who had been her
contemporaries. Through nearly two
generations the standing inquiry among
farmers was, Who's going to buy
Georgew It passed into saying; and
thus By Georgel" became the town ex-
| pletive. In 1906 she was sold for sum
equal to about ten pounds. She began
to be oneof the towns poor in 1853, and
was setup on sale for the last time in
1908. The town was pleased with the
business, and persistently voted "not to
build a. poor-house" on every occasion
when it was proposed. The widows grad
ually increased in number and they
were sold to the lowest bidder, every
| year, without any expression of senti-
ment. Thus, in December, 1908, it was
!" voted to sell the widow of the late
Jonathan Percy and child, and also one
COW and one heifer." In this children
were sometimes rated with cattle, and
separated from their mothers, thus sew,
erfng all family ties. This method OF
disposing of the towns poor may have
been good one under the circumstance
of the times, but it was accompanied by
some acts which must be considered as
scandalous to any community that fa
vored them, and which tended to destroy
all family affection. ..g q
