the so.cllled Z" Esthetic "-that is, the
crazy class which clings TO the skirts OF
artistic and cultivated sections OF the me-

adaptation, and is thoroughly original. It's
scene is laid In Gilisertia, the people living

Arsenic Eating.
St Louis snoctator.

1t is estimated that at least four
Louis are given to these poisonous
practices They eat arsenic 10 give
SNAP" and brillianCy to their eyes, and
smoothness to their complexion; they
take laudanum or opium either to
overcome lassitude begotten OF late hours
and reckless revclry, or because they
are fascinated by the wild and riotous
dreams, and love to follow the drowsy
phantasies the drugs call up. This num-
ber includes the young women only, and
does not take into account the large
number of married and aging ladies who
indulge their taste or folly in this direc-
ton. II the figures are correct, they ar
que the existence Of terribly destruct.
i've force at werk in the ranks of young
womanhood, and the fact that a law is
laid down for the express purpose of
preventing the wholesale use Of poisons
by the people does not appear TO offer
the weakest possible barrier to the fur
ther prevalence of the practice have
heard il said that some ladies we're even
so far forgetful of themselves, and so
terribly under the fascination OF intoxi-
eating drugs, that they paid periodical
visits to the back rooms or cellars of
Chinese laundries, and gave plentifully
Of their pin money for whitfs at the
nauseous opium pipe. 1t is possible that
such is the case. Opium smoking does
exist right here in st. Louis, and as
there is always, even In the best society,
an occasional bit Of eccentric, romantic
and adventurous femininity, there is no
reason why some st. Louis girls might
not be rash or reckless enough to sane
tify John Chinaman's dream giving pipe
with their rosy lips. Many male citi-
zens patronize these opium dens, nm
derstand,an it is from gentlemen who
has frequently laid his head upon zee
lestial" couch, with the picture Iii fumes
of the phantasil drng playing through
his brain, that obtained the statement
that one or two young ladies Of pre-

LET me see him." said mamma; so
Tommy brought the apple to his mother.
"Why, yes, he's beauty" she said.
Just look at that little red cap he wcars,
aud see how soft an white his skin Is.
Ifnobody had picked that apple, he
would have spun little rope from out
his body, and let himself down brom the
high tree, down, down to the earth.
"Then he would have crawled into a
little hole in the ground. When he had
covered himseli all over with gray
sheet, he would sleep, sleep, sleep. But
by aud Dy lie would awaken.
Gle would come out of the tight
shroud, and find that ne had airy, gauzy

"What would he want of an apple
blossom :" asked Tommy, much interest
ed now in his apple-worin.
"Oh, to lay an egg in" said mamma.
And when the apple blossom grew, the
egg would be softly wrapped within its
pink heart. And when the blossom
urned into an apple there would be n
tiny baby to feed upon the white
pulp. ri en- some day perhaps, some
other little boy would exclaim, Bah
ugh oh ? about him, as my little boy
did Just now about the msmma~worm." ;"
"Oh" said Tom, thoughtiully, Pm
glad nobody will have that chance; here

And he tossed the apple, worm and

The Eads ship Railway.
New York Indicator


The current comments of the English
press on Mr.. Blaine's views regarding
the neutrality Of toe panama canal, again
attracts attention 10 the various proposed
interoceanic routes across the irregular
connecting link between the North and
South American continents. An article
in the November number of Harpa's
Magazine on "Tehuantep pee and the Eads
Ship Railway" is, therefore, timely. The
article in question is illustrated with the
necessary diagrams, including well ex.
ecuted map of the proposed route, to give
a clear and general conception OF the
scheme, which, we think, is more intel
ligibly presented to the public in the
article named than any we have hither-
to seen.
OF all the American projects at present
engrossing public attention in Mexico,
this is said TO be the most popular with
the people of that country. Tradition
and history have something to do with
this. The completion of Mr.. Eads' rail-
way will be the realization. on a more
magnificent scale than could have been
dreamed Of by the imaginative and dar-
ing Heman Cortes, Of his project Of

Miss Mary Anderson a. Parthsnis, and Her
Loaded Gum.

A Awoman at Wyocena, VINO chegel gum
laid her "sg:d' on green paper box.
and when she came TO chew again al.
poisoned, and it was with difficulty her
life was save. This reminds us OF an a.
cident that happened Mary Anderson
when she was here last. Mary will re-
member the second scene OF "Ingamor'
when Partbenia was winding herscii
around the heart Of the barbarian. Size
looked pale, and whenever she wou' .
try to say sweet words TO him, she act
ed as though she WAS on a lake eNcur-
sion. During some of the love passages
We remember a far away look in her
eyes, ss though she was searching ior
the unfgthomable. or looking for friend
y railing to lean over, and when her
bosom Eeaved with emotion she acted
as though she expected 10 hear from
down country, and doubted whether her
boots would remain on her feet or throw
up their situation. Those who sat
the left box will remember that when
she threw her head on Ingamor's shout
der, she spit cotton over toward the back
Of the stage, and acted like the little girl
that had been eating tomatoes. The
cause is ascertained by inquirng of q
gentlemanly supe. II is well known that
Miss Anderson is addicted 10 the gum
chewing habit, and that when she goes
upon the stage she sticks her chew OF
gum on an old castle painted on the
scenery. There was wicked young
nan playing a minor part in the play
who had been treated scOrniuly by
Mary, as he thought, aud he had been
heard to say he would make her sick
He did, He took her chew Of gum and
spread IL out 50 it was as thin as paper,
then placed chew of tobacco ips d..
neatly wrapped 1t up. and stuck it back
on the old castle. Mary came OIL, when
the curtain went down, an d going up to
the castle she bit like a bass. Putting
| the gum, which she bad no idea was
loaded into her mouth, she mashed it
| between her ivories and rolled it as a
/ sweet morsel under her tongue. II is
! said by those who happened 70 be be-
| hind the scenes that when the tobacco
began to get in its work there was the
worst transformation scene that ever
appeared on the stage. The air, one supe
/ sald, seemed TO be full Of fine cut tobacco
I lnd spruce gum, and Mary stood there
/ and leaned against painted rock,
/ picture OF homesiCkness. She was pale
/ about the eills, and tremblcd lake an
aspen leaf shaken by the wind. She
was calm as summers morning, aud
while concealment, like a worm in an
/ apple, gnawed at her stomach. and tore
her corset strings, she did not upbraid
the wretch who had smuggled the vile
/ pill into her coCntenance. All she said,
as she turned her pale face to the paint
ed ivy, ON the rock, and grasped paint.
Ell mantel piece with her left hand, as
her right hand rested on her heayng
stomach, was, 81 die by the hand of am
assassin And as the soft scenic moon
rose up slowly, and calmly she looked
down from the flies, and Mary was saved.
Women can't be too careful where they
put their gum milwaukee Sun.
The Osceola times., 1881-11-19

Ir has been discovered IN the provin-
cial cities Of England that the smoke
nuisance is injurious both 10 vegetation
and human life. The gases which pour
out OF the chimneys Of countless factories
seem peculiarly destructive TO fayorite
ornamental trees. In the thickly settled
districts Of manufacturing counties like
Yorkshire and Lancashire all kinds Of
trees are reported to be dead or dying
even at great distances from the large
towns, and hundreds of bare trunks are
left 10 cumber the ground. The Man
chester Town Council discussed the sub
ject while ago, and came to the conclu-
sion that II would be useless to cultivate
ornamental trees and shrubs till the
smoke Of the mills, which give the city
its prosperity, should be kept under con
troll
