A German woman in Boston, named Marie
Ronig, who was deserted by her husband some
time ago and left in destitute circumstances,
attempted to murder her four children and her
self. She sharpened an old case-knife for the
purpose. and rising early in the morning, began
her terrible work while the children slept. The
first attacked was August, aged five years,
whose throat was cut from ear to ear, and was
dead when found She next assaulted Mary,
aged thirteen, cutting her throat in three
places, but the girl screaming, fed from the
house, and may recover. Alfred, aged ten, was
stabbed in dozen places, and then Emil, aged
seventeen, was assailed, who resisted his mother
desperately, but was badly wounded. The
woman then sat down on the floor and at
tempted to open the arteries on both wrists,
sliced herself in the legs and was helpless
from the loss Of blood when found. She may
recover. She is pronounced insane.

of Ireland, says that he believes the murders

party, recruited mainly from America, who
again interfered when they saw conciliation

An Absent Minded millionaire.

There is always good deal of talk
about the way rich men avoid paying
taxes on personal property, but it is not
their fault. 1t is simply because the as
SCISSORS don't happen to put them In mind
Of it. Here in Detroit the other day
when the assessor was making his rounds
and after he got through with a rich
mans estate, he suddenly remarked:
"Oh, by the way, Mr., Tinkum, haven't
you any personal property liable to tax
atiOnp"
me? Why, no."
Haven't you gold watch?"
Lets see-let's see," he unused, as his
hand slid down to the chain-"cOme to
think of it have"
"And a pianOp"
"PianOf Piano. Now that yon re-
mind me of it believe I've got piano"
"And how many hOrses?"
Horses? Well, declare, but I have
three. II you hadn't mentioned it |
should have never thought OF them
again."
"And carriages"
Carriages? Let's see. That's so; I've
got two Of them"
"And 1 presume you have, at least,
$1,000 worth Of statuary and paintings?"
"MeP Ia my house%
YES"
swell, now, that's odd. II yon hadn't
mentioned them / should have forgotten
that had any. Dear me! but can see
every day how fail"
'And how about your wife's gold
watch, diamonds and jewelry? Call EN-
q thousand dOllars~
"My wifep Ali yes. have wife,
but If you hadn't spoken of it shouldn't
have thought of 1t again. Yes, remem-
Der nOw--I have wife and two chill
dren. Bless me, but must be growing
old terribly fast! Well, we'll, but it was
only the other day was saying to N.Y.
self that ought to get cow or some-
thing to pay personal tax on"

Costly Carelessness.

From time to time the ypapers tell us
of persons who have blown out the gas
lights in their bedrooms, instead Of
putting out the lights by shutting off
the gas. OF course they have been found
dead in the morning, shffOcated in their
sleep by the gas which had been pouring
into the rooms all night. Persons ac-
cusl Omed 10 blow out lights given by
lamps in thrir own homes should be es-
pecially careful Lest their habit assert
itself abroad, notwithstanding their
knowledge of what they should do to put
out a gas-light.
The stOve-dalnppr is sometimes par
TALLY closed. and the stOve-dOOr partially
opened at night in bedroom. During
the night, the wind perhaps changes,
outside air becomes damp and heavy,
and the gas, instead of ascending in the
cold chimney, is forced into the room.
Here, too, the sleeper sometimes passes
quietly into the sleep of death, as the car
bonic acid gradually arrests the action
of the brain. Under no circumstances
should the damper of stove be closed
in a 'sleeping-rOOn at night.
Guests from the country are quite apt
to leave the waste pipes in our city bed
rooms open, in the bedrooms in which
they sleep, thus giving free ingress into
the rooms of sewer gas, with its germs
of typhoid fever, or of other infectious
diseases. A cautionary hint should be
given them by their hosts.
People often leave walls containing
pOisOns by the side of other walls that
contain medicines that some person is
using, and the contents of the former are
sometimes taken or thoughtlessly ad-
minlstered instead of the latter, by the
patient himself or by his attendant.
Recently the life of a useful and worthy
man was thus suddenly brought to an
untimely end. The two should never be
kept together.
