A Girl With the Jim : Jams.
St Lnnis Globe Demncrat

A remarkable case of jim-jams came
under the observation of Officer Heffer-
man about midnight last night, in a
small room in the rear of No. 215 Al
mond street. The victim was Clara
Walker. She said that three days ago
she had celebrated her 18th birthday by
unintentionally getting very drunk.
The effect produced by the overdose of
spirits was so charming that she con-
tinucd the drunk up to last night.
When discovered by the policeman she
was in the act of adjusting the end of a
piece of clothes-line around her neck,
preparatory to choking out her life.
Hetferman prevented her from carrying
out her self-destructive design, for which
kind act she was at first greatly enrag-
ed, but after becoming calm she thank
ed her delivercr. While the officer was
volunteering some good advice the
woman suddenly began series of
shrieks. She imagined that the room
was filled with infants and that huge
rats were devouring them. She leaped
upon chair and from the chair to the
bed, and from the bed to the wash
stand, utterly disregarding the conse-
quent damage to pitcher and bowl, all
the time wringing her hands and utter
ing shrill cries of fear like q maniac.
Size was taken to the Chestnut street
station, where, in earnest and pitiful
words, she described the horrible fate
of two or three of the imaginary babies.
She said there were several more iii the
room, and before going to her cell
pleaded with tears to the sergeant to
send some one to prevent further des-
truction of the innocents by the rapa-
cious rodents. The sergeant promised
to see that all the rats were killed, which
seemed to pacify the woman, and a
smile changed her whole countenance
as the turnkey did his duty.

lumbermen doing business in and on the
Chippewa river. The floods occasioned by
the recent heavy rains, have bursted the
Dells reservoir, resulting in the innunda-
ton of large territories and the rushing
from these booms of over 100000, 600 feet
of logs They arc now en- route to the
Mississippi, uncomfortable. Perhaps p
per cent. of them will be lost. The total
loss, which will amount at least to 81 ,OOO,-
coo, falls principally on the Mississippi
River Valley Association. All the boats
that can be secured are being sent up the
river loaded with lines to catch the logs.
The citizens are greatly alarmed at the
threatened consequences, and probably
80 families, residing mostly in the Third
! Fourth and Fifth wards of Eau Claire, were
obliged to desert their homes and seek ref
uge elsewhere A Chippewa Falls special
says: From Friday night to Sunday, the
Chippewa river rose twenty-four feet and
the entire upper river is cleared Of logs
Both bridges at Chippewa Falls, were
swept away, and on Duncan Greek, except
one. The guard locks Of the dams were
swept away, and fears are entertained that
The total loss will probably reach one mil
lion dollars. The Chippewa Lumber Co.
lost nearly all their longs, piers and booms,
subsidies, to repair. About twenty million
feet of logs remain in the pocket at the
dells of Eau Claire, but will probably so
out with the rest. The Badger mills, six
miles below the city were carried away.
The French numbering company's big mill
at Grand Island will be badl y damaged.

Light in the Home.

The eminent English writer, DIR.
Richardson, has written an article call
ed Health at Home," which is replete
with wisdom. A most important point
and one on which he dwells, is the fact
that SO many people are afraid Of the
light. "In dark and gloomy house
YOU can never see the dirt that polutes
it. Dirt accumulates on dirt, and the
mind soon learns to apologize for this
condition because the gloom conceals it.
Accordingly, when a house is dark and
dingy, the air becomes impure, not only
on account of the absence Of light, but
from the impurities which are accumu-
lated. Now as DR.. Richardson clcverly
puts it,, we place flowers in our window
that they may have the light. II this
be the case, why should we deprive our
selves of the sunshine and expect to
gain health and vigo? Light and plenty
Of it, is not only purifier Of things in
animate, but it absolutely stimulates
our brains. 1t is in regard to sick rooms
that this excellent authority is particular
" impressive 1t used to be the habit
of physicians in old times to sedulously
darken the rooms, and this pr,lctice
continues to some extent even to-day.
In certain very acute cases of nervous
diseases, where light, the least ray of it,
disturbs in over-exciting the visual or
gans, this darkening Of the room may
be permitted, but ordinarily to keep the
light out of the room is to deprive the
patient of one Of the vital forces. Chill
