A Tragic History.

Dr. J. G. Buckui|l, in closing the second oil
his Lumlcian lectures on Insanity iu'its Legal
Relations" before the Royal College Of Physi
clans, said 1T is happy circumstance for us
professionally that we have not often to give
direct evidence of crime. 1t is painful enough
to give negative evidence which is incrlmlnat
ing. The most remarkable case 10 Whlcn
have been concerned, not even excepting that
of Victor Townley, was the case OF Constance
Kent, who murdered her young brother and es
capped detection. After an interval OF several
years truly conscientious motive led her to con
fess. and the most painful and Interesting DUTY
fell to my lot of examining her for the purpose
Of ascertainiug whether it would be r'gat, To-
enter the plea of "not guilty on the ground O.

mitted that l could not do otherwise. by her
own visit, and that Of her relatives. publish
ed letter 10 the Times describing the material
facts of the crime. bus to save the feelings 0!
those who were alive at the time, l. dd not
make known tho motive, and On this account It
has been that the strange porteGt has remained
in tho history Of our social life that young
eirl, not insane, should have been capable OF
numbering her bog brother 10 cold blood and
without motive. tbilk The right time aud
opportunity has come fer me to explain away
this apparent nlonstrosity Of conduct. "A real
and dreadful motive did exist. The girls OWE
mother, having become partially demented, Was
left by her husband TO lve la tho sechlslon OF
her own room, while tho management OF the
household was taken over the heads OF grown ur
daughters by very high spirited goVern9e's,
who, after the deoease of the first Mrs. hent.
and a decent interval, became Constance
KeDt's step mother. la this position she was
unwise enough to make iisparsgog remarks
about her predecessor. little dreaming, poor
lady, of the fund of rage and revengetu feel
ing she was stirring up in the heart OF her
Young step daughter. To escape from ber
hated presence Constance once ran away from
home, but was brought back; and after thIs
she only thought of the most efficient manner o'
wreskipg her vengeance.
She thought Of poisoning her stepmoshei,
but that, on reflection, she felt would DO nc
real punishment. and then it was that she de-
termined to murder the poor lady's boy, her
only child. A dreadful story thisi but Rno
can fail to pity tho depths Of household misery
which it denotes? At her erralgnment Goa.
stance Kent persisted in pleading "guilty;',--,,
Had the plea been mot guilty." it would, l
suppose, have been my most painful duty to
have told the court the tragic history which
now tell to you, in the belief that it can give no
pain to those concerned 10 it, and that it Is
misohievous that so great aud notorious CRIME

version by pitching hard one to be
scrambled for by the crowds Of children
who have assembled to see the sport.
Meantime (while wagers are laid as to
who will likely win) the other contestant
speeds the distance of a mile or two to
an appointed goal, marks it as proof of
his having touched it, and if he succeeds
in returning before all the eggs are
thrown, the victory and the prize are his
otherwise they belong to his opponent
The game finished, the prize is present

ously into the neighboring inn, there to
be cooked in various ways and eaten.

Hold on, Boys.

Hold on to your tongue when you are
just ready to swear, lie or speak harshly.
Hold on to your hand when you are
about to punch, scratch, steal or do any
improper act.
Hold on to your foot when you are on
the point of kicking, running off from
study, or pursuing the path of terror,
shame or crime.
Hold on to your temper when you are
angry, excited or imposed upon, or others
are angry with you.
Hold on to your heart when evil asso-
ciates seek your company, and invite you
to join in their mirtk, games and revelry.
Hold on to your good name at all
times, for it is Of more value than gold,
high places or fashionable attire.
Hold on to the truth, for it will serve
you we'll, and do you good throughout
eternity.
Hold on to virtue-it is above all price
to you at all times and places.
Hold on to your good character, for it
is, and ever will be, your best wealth.

The Eyes Of the Egyptians.

The poorly-fed donkeys were tried to
the utmost to carry us back to the steam
er, and scores of the half-blind, sore-eyed
Arabs kept pace during the entire two
hours ride. A traveller in Egypt is sur
prised at the amount of ophthalma and
the sightless eyes seen among the ma
tives. Want of cleanliness is the cause
of the epidemic, but the dead eyes pro-
coed from the most shocking causes.
Through some inhuman superstition an
Egyptian mother never has her child's
eyes washed until eight days after birth,
by which time the organ is frequently
ruined. Again, it is said that formerly
the men destroyed one eye to escape
military service, but happily the khe-
dive has lately decided that such a
physical defect shall no longer be sufi-
Gent cause for exemption. Miss Whate-
ley, of the British mission schools of
Cairo, told me that mother considers it
an insult to suggest that her child's eyes
need washing. The crusade of the
teachers to save the children's eyes is a
most difficult one, as are many of the
other self-inhicted tasks. The American
mission schools and Miss Whately's Brit
ish mission schools have upwards Of 900
children under tuition. Both are noble
haritiey.-C0rre$. Philddelphlu Bulletin.

Fashion Notes.

RICHELIEU" ribbed hosiery is new.
New collars and cuffs are wider than
ever.
FABLE continues in favor for house
dresses.
Rows of machine stitching will trim
summer dresses.
BUTTERFLIES are the new ornaments
for spring hats.
CoLoRED pearl ornaments are on the
new spring bonnets.
The mania for beads and bead trim
mings is likely to continue.
BRocADED black silk will be used in
combination with plain black silk.
The old color, "ashes Of roses" 50
long out of fashion, will be revived this
summer.
SEMI-TRANsLUCENT stones are again
worn, after having been out of fashion
nearly ten years.
PARAso1s and sunshades differ in shape
from those of last year, being bell-shaped
instead of canopied.
LACE scarfs, Of elaborate figures and
tissue softness, will come in with the
spring hats and flowers.
"PERLE DE LYONS" is one Of the
many new colors this spring, and "Giul
eta" is another.
THE Byron collars and cuffs for ladie:
are the latest; those in guipure embroid
cry are the prettiest.
The jauntiest of spring wraps will be
the coats that fasten over the chest witt
single button, and show waistcoat
below. They are somewhat masculine
n shape and style.

( Notice for Thicker,

Writing of those who scrawl their
names in Egypt, John Russell Young
says: 1.-THE greatest donkey of the tribe
the monumental donkey Of the age
is Powell Tucker Of New York. If
Powell Tucker reads these lines he will
learn that his name is the theme Of re-
peated excavations throughout Egypt.
Pow as the story goes, did not content
himself with carving his name on the
walls-that, perhaps, would have been
too much trouble. So he carried a
sailor with him, and this sailor had a
pot of black paint and brush. When
ever Powell came to a mountain the
sailor painted in large black letters,
Powell Tucker New York, 1892
Sometimes it is only p. t., but the
tracks are here and there all over Egypt.
The authorities in charge of the antiqui-
ties have tried to rub out this and other
marks Of vandalism, but Powc}l's sailor
