wouldn't Pay Their Bills.

A Paris letter to the ChicSgo Times
relates some other instances of mi
ladies " who cannot or will not pay
their little bills:" / am told that
there are some other really startling
revelations of the same nature to be un-
folded shortly. Worth, for instance,
has refused to make another article for
certain noble English lady, whose
husband is one of the wealthiest men in
England, because he cannot collect the
amount owing TO him, now over Geo.
600 ($l00,000). 1t is said that the books
of that famous establishment, if care
fully investigated, could tell strange
stories. There was one fair luminary
of the second empire who died owing

know if he has ever yet been paid in
full. But the chief of any one of the
great houses of Paris could tell queer
tales of that nature if he would. have
heard of how there came one day
to the Compagnie des Indies (the great
lace and India shawl warehouse of the
Rue Richelieu) certain noble duchess.
with n set of point-lace fiounces that she
wished TO have altered. The courteous
salesman took her directions very
quietly, but when they were ended he
remarked: Before we alter your lace,
madam, do you not think that you had
better pay for itP" The bill had been
standing Tor over seven years. But the
liveliest case on record of this nature
was that of the wife of n prominent
official ofthe second empire, who bought

Naturally, when the bill was presented
she was unable either TO pay it or re-
turn the jewels. The affair was on the
point of terminating in tremendous
scandal, when some prominent person.

matter, and pointed out the terrific
damage that would be done To the
reputation ofthe imperial official circe

cautious sovereign at once paid the jew

of the public treasury, and the laAy's
little game in consequence succeeded 10

A Tremendous Spider Story.

A correspondent writes from Plain
view, Ill, to the Chicago Inter Ocean
The following facts transpired on the
farm of an honest old farmer, about
two miles from the town of Plainview.
Last Monday morning OF entering his
barn the farmer found, to his great sur
prise, his pet bulldog and old cat and her
kittens suspended from the cross-b beams
in his barn. On examination he found
them to be suspended there by cord
about the size of common wrapping
cord, the fiber of which much resemblcd
silk, but proved, however, to be spi-
der's web. At first he thought the kit
tens, which were on the hay just above
the beams, had accidently dropped into
the web, and the old cat, following the
instinct of her maternal nature, endeav-
oring to rescue them had herself be-
come entangled. AS to the situation of
the bulldog, he thought he had been
trying to get at the cat while in her
trouble, and had himself to succumb to
the same fate rs the cats, but he after
ward came to the conclusion that they
had been picked up by the spiders as
they went about seeking whom they
might devoui.
The farmer went out to call in some
of his neighbors to witness the marvel
GUS scene. but imagine his surprise when,
On his return. he found sucking colt
ascending to the web. having been en-
circled by two different fibers, one Just
before his hind, and the other Just be-
hind his fore legs, be was beng drawn
up by the spiders. When the colt had
been drawn up five OF six feet, spider,
apparently well versed in physiology,
came down one of the iibers ana began
boring for the spinal cord, Just between
the atlas and tie axis, as | have seen
small ones do with flies. but the farmer
was unwilling to sacrifice the colt for
the benefit of scientific investigation,
and so he was rescued.
The spiders were then taken from the
dove-cote, of which they had taken pos
session, and killed. One measured
three and one-half inches in length, and
weighed one half pound. They are oil
a dark brown color, with light stripe
down their backs, strong, active and
ferocious. Several men of good repute
in this section are willing to testify to
the above facts

Lightning.

The last summer was remarkable for
the number and violence of its thunder
storms, and the next census will proba-
bly, show an unusually large proportion
of deaths from lightning stroke. 1t is
not commonly known what is the pro-
portion of persons killed in this way in
the United States. but the statistics OF
the subject are easily attainable from the
census tables. and to give some notion
)f them it is only necessary to say that
in lS70-an average year--202 deaths
occurred from this cause. and during
the same period only 203 persons COM
mitted suicide by poison, 25l by fire.
arms and 1873 by cutting their throats.
In 1850 l9l persons were killed by light
ming, and l3l committed self-murder
with poison, ll2 with firearms and 81
by thrOat-cutting. These statistics will
seem remarkable to people who read
newspapers and find hardly day pass
ing in which suicides are not recorded
In all OF these ways. They are striking
also from the fact that whereas light
ming is work during but two or three
months ofthe year, suicides with poison,
pistol and knife have no one season
which is peculiarly their own-the no
tion that November is fatal month
for the melancholy having been shown
by Charles Moore in one of his earliest
works published on the statistics OF
suicide to be false.
Of course. in bringing lightning into
comparison with poison, pistol and the
knife we do not mean to be understood
as speaking of the latter as if they were
cosmical causes of death, but merely to
show how the judgmen: may be de-
ceived in such matters. Undoubtedly
most people are accustomed to think
that lightning is the cause of the death
of incomparably fewer persons than die
of poison administered by themselves or
of throat-cutting or shooting, but in
vestigation shows this belief is without
foundation. In France, where it is said
by DR.. De Doismont that about one
hundred thousand persons have died by
their own hands since the beginning OF
the century, and where suicide is there
fore prevalent, il we suppose that one
out of IA hundred uses the pistol in the
act, we find that the proportion of such
deaths to the whole population is less
than one in 100, 800; and in the United
States death by lightning is about one
In $50, 900. The figures are curious only
because they show that among people
who are not in the habit of killing
themselves ms compared with people
who are supposed to be addicted to
that habit. hghtning-a seemingly rare
cause of death-does so little less for
the latter than the pistol does for the
former. Among ourselves they seem to
be about equally efiicacious.

Uorsets in Court.

A correspondent of the Louisville
Courier. Journal tells a story of case
in regard to patent on corset, which
recently came up in the United States
supreme court. The judges of this au-
gust court are all very grave and digni-
fed gentlemen, and the BLACK silk gowns
which they wear add to the solemnity
of their bearing. The corset patent was
delicate subject to bring into this au-
gust court, but the contending parties
had gone to law ON the question as TO
whether "contil" was cut on the
straight or bias, and in regard to the
whalebone castings. One patentee
claimed that he Lad improved upon the
original design; that the first patentee's
corset placed the whalebone inside the
casing, and that 1t had to be fastened
with q needle and thread; that his pat
ent had the advantage of an invention
which closed up the top and bottom OF
the opening. The lawyer who was ar
guing the case brought a lot of the cor
sets into court and distributed them 10
each of the judges that they might ex-
anime the invention as he explained it.
The novel spectacle was. presented OF
each one, OF these gentlemen timidly
scrutinizing the mysteries of the bias
snd straight. and pushing whalebones
IN and out of the castings. The shrink
ing modesty of Judge Strong was evipced
by the blush which mantled his cheek
All tried TO look knowing and capable
of giving an astute opinion; they whis-
pered TO one another, of course exchang-
ing only legal knowledge, but the ludi-
crous situation was appreciated by the
lawyers and spectators.

When short dresses are fashionable.
the fit and size of ones boots is a sub
lect OF serious consideration, says the
Boston Transcript. and this summer Miss
Flora McFlimsey will give the shoe
makers no peace until her foot is made
to look as small, il not smaller, than
that of any of her friends. Her task
will be rather difficult. for Flora has
been wearing Louis Quinze heels so
long that her little foot is sadly twisted
and distorted, and all the soaking in
natural water. all the polishing with
pumice, and all the rubbing with per-
fumed oil that an Egyytian beauty
could teach her TO lavish upon il would
not restore it to the graceful slender
ness that it had in the days when her
sensible grandmother made her wear n
boot that left half an inch space beyond
her great toe. She is no worse than
most other girls, or most other men,
for that matter, for only about three
persons out of n hundred wear shoes
that are as long as they should be.
The pretty three-strap slippers are
still worn, but even with these the ten
dency is to the plainest styles. and the
glittering steel is replaced by Jet, and
sometimes left oil altogether, and slip
pers with two bows or one bow arc
preferred. There are great many
patterns. from the four tightly strapped
loops to the little cascade bows that
Uave five full loops each side of the
strap, and from the lusterlcss silkto the
lace and satin butterfly bows that are
made to wear with black grenadino
dresses in Spanish styles, but the favor
ite design is like the little cascades
that are worn for necktics, is almost
four inches long, and nearly covers the
lnstep; when worn with a gloye-kid
slipper this looks well with almost any
dress. The Nelson buttoned shoe and
the Newport tic will both appear in
the street this summer, as they did last
year, but the English fancy for low
shoes stitched with white has not yet
been imported, and until our climate
becomes more equable, boots will be
preferred to shoes for general wear.
