Jennie Oramer Forty Years AGO,

The Jenny Cramer mystery is in
some points repetition Of the Mary
Rogers case, which is one of the men,
orable tragedies of New York. Forty
years have elapsed since it occurred.
and yet II holds its place among the
mysteries of crime, Mary Rogers, like
Jenny Cramer, was pretty cigar girl
She tended store for John Anderson,
who kept the finest establishment of
the kind on Broadway, Mary was gen
orally attractive, but it was not known
that she had any special sutton. She
lived with her mother, who was poor
widow, dependent on her daughter s
earnings. One Sunday afternoon in
the summer of 1910 she left her home
and never returned. Some persons
who knew her said they saw her in
company with man dressed in naval
uniform. This was the last seen of
her alive. Her disappearance was re-
ported to the police, but no immediate
clue could be obtained Four days af-
terward. however, nude corpse was
found floating in the waters of the
Hudson near the Jersey shore. and this
was identified as the missing cigar
girl. II was evident that she had been
foully dealt with. but this was all that
could be ascertained A yawl boat,
which was also found floating idly in
the bay, was no doubt connected with
the tragic affair, but on this point there
was no certainty. The police made
every possible search, but II was of no
avail. The old mother died broken
hearted, and years have passed away,
throwing no light upon the mystery,
whose solution has now passed beyond
hope; aud hence the sad tale OF Mary
Rogers holds prominent place among
the bloody secrets of New York.

Cheap Railroad Rates ia Europe.

Il is rather significant circumstance
that the influence which is being exer-
cised by the American waterways upon
railway tariffs and traffic in the United
States is likely to be paralleled by the
effects of similar competition on the
European continent. The advance of
the charges for through traffic from the
eastern 70 the western parts Of Europe
over the German lines which followed
the adoption of Prince Bismarck's pro-
tectionist policy has considerably slim
ulated traffic upon the Elbe. II was
not long ago announced that a new
company had been formed under Aus
trian auspices for navigating the Elbe
and the North Sea with line of steam
ers, and this company may be expected
10 commence operations at no distant
date. Meanwhile, the traffic by this
route has already expanded considera-
bly,, and has been encouraged by spec
ial arrangements between the vessels
on the river and the Austro-Ilungarian
lines concerned. Latlerly important
quantities of corn aud flour for Great
Britain have been sent by way of the
Eibe, and the increasing tendency OF
traffic between Auslro-Hungary and
Great Britain 10 take this route is re-
yiyiDg the competition Of Hamburg
and Fiume. Cheap rates by the line
to Gustaysburg on the Rhine again are
attracting traffic also to that river.
Finally, as we have already indicated.
Flune and Trieste are making great
competitive efforts TO secure business
with tie north of France and Great
Britain by the sea route from the Adri-
attic. The effort of the German Gov
eminent TO encourage the home and
foreign trade in German productions
by removing the facilities previously
allowed TO the transit trade has, there
fore, only had the effect Of calling into
existence formidable rivalry TO the rail
ways. and, while damaging the German
transit trade, has failed TO secure any
advantages for German home produc-
tions, These facts may be regarded as
additional symptoms that the question
OF waterways versus railways is coming
more and more to the front. Pal Mall

The PhYsio Of Onr Grandfathars.

| w. A. Perkins, druggist of this Cit,
has curious old book, published in
London in 1857. 1t is entitled, "The
Expert Doctors Dispensatory; or, The
Whole Art of Physick Restored to
Practice" with the following sub-titlc:
"The Apothecaries Shop and Chyrur.
glons Closet Opened, wherein all safe
and honest practices are maintained
and dangerous mistakes discovered;
and what out Of subtilty to their own
profits they have cndeavorod to reserve
themselves. now at last impalrialv d.
yulged and made common. Together
with strict survey of the DISPENSE
tories OF the most renowned Colleges
OF the World, which being corrected,
are here epitomised and drawn into an
easier and useful method for practice.
Following are some few of the more
agreeable among the many agreeable
remedies with which our forefathers
were dosed "The fat Of cal, a plas-
ter of mashed frogs, brain of hare
roasted, fat Of serpents; the fat of men,
foxes, vipers, and dogs; oil Of vipers;
grease OF mummy; ashes of mans
skull, ashes Of glass, Of earth-worms,
OF an asses liver, hedgehog, scorpions,
blood, cheese mites, wood lice, beetles,
warts of horses hoof, pike jaws,
crawlish, the stoppings of a snaiI's
shell in Winter, crabs eyes. king-fsh-
ers, stones from an OK gall; blood of
goat In wine; turlle-dove roasted, with
its belly filled with cinnamon; mans
skull powdered and stewed in the milk
OF sow" SPIDERS web, Especially if
it be such as is full Of the fine flower OF
mills or bake-houses;" clots of blood
"dryed;" hare Of horses and men
burnt; burnt sponge; SCOT scraped
from the mouth OF an oven or of a
brasse pot; Oyle of frogs. The "oyle"
OF frogs is recommended TO those who
are troubled with sleeplessness. 1t is
said to operate "by sending mild va
pors up to the head, to temper the hot,
dry and sharp fumes that are in the
brain" We all know (who have ever
handled frogs) that they are cool to
the touch.
For taking away scars are recon-.
mended flats an marrowes of men,
asses, harts and the fat Of the fish Thy
mallus."
For wounds "crawish, mummy and
crabs's eyes, are recommended; also,
"earth-worms and hare's hair burned"
Extractor" for drawing out
splnters and other things fastened in
wounds" we are told there is nothing
like Gland snailes beaten with their
shells, the head Of lizard powdered, or
a fox tongue prepared as its lungs are
moystened with red wine" Loadstone
draws forth iron and amber draws
straws."
"For moderate" emetic "the
shavings of ones own nails drank in
wine" are recommended
Many things heartily recomm ended
for various diseases are unmentionable
to ears polite. - Virginia (Nev.) En-
terprise

A Sporting Parson.

a curious story is told by Land and
Water Of an English parson of the
sporting school; A marriage ceremony
had been fixed; but il was fine Sep
TENDER morning, the clergyman loved
his gun, and SO, forgetful of the mo-
meulouS knot he was to be the instru-
ment OF tying he sanntered forth into
the stubbles Of his glebe. He had not
been out long before he got shot;
but scarcely had he done so when he
heard the well-known voice OF the par
ish clerk shouting after him, "Sir, the
young people be ready, and be at the
church awaiting"
Bless me- said the old gentleman,
II forgot I'll be there in moment"
He hastily picked up the partridge he
had shot, and putting it in his pocket,
he hurried TO the church,
In the midst Of the ceremony, some
thing was seen TO be fluttering under
his surplice; and in moment, to the
astonishment Of every body, out from
its folds flew tAe partridge, for it had
been more stunned than killed.

can't get out, and she's gone in the
Squire's pew"
