show the importance of promptness and at

health before disease becomes fixed ana
hope departs. They show how this can
successfully be done, and that the dangers
which await neglect can only with difficult

Women and the Telegraph.

The telegraph work of England has
now been very largely confided to wom-
en-, and it is calculated that there can
not be less than 700 employed at the
Central office. The staff of the telegraph
clearing house check branch, which SUI
pervises the whole telegraphic work Of
the kingdom, and acts ss check upon
all the clerks in the department, is ex-
clusively composed of women, to whom
is also entrusted the entire financial bus.
iness. Certain branches of the savings
bank department are also in their hands
as well as the dead letter office. The
number who apply whenever vacancy
occurs is enormous. None of tn more
important offices have yet been filled by
women, which, it is thought, are better
ofiicered by thoroughly competent men.

DICKENS DUTCHMAN.
A Jail Bird Whom the Novelist Made Fa-
nous, About to Regain His Liberty.
PHILADELPHIA Times,

That incorrigible and aged scamp,
Charles Langheimer. who has spent about
one-balf of his fourscore years of exist
ence behind prison bars, will shortly be
released from the Eastern Penitentiary.
The old man has attained notoriety un-
der the sobriquet of Dickens Dutch

ed his pen, in his American sketches, to
inveigh against the solitary confinement
system followed in the penitentiary, and
selecting Langheimer, who was under
going a four years sentence, when the
romancer visited the Jail, as a special case
to illustrate the misery of the prisoners.
Langheimer was first sentenced to the
penitentiary on May 10, 1910, having
tions. He served his term and was re
leased, but was soon sent back again.
His history since that time has been a
'ries of repetitions. A release from
prison, short freedom, and another long
term of imprisonment made up his lille
In March, 1877, he was caught in the act
of stealing silver watch and was sent
hack to his old quarters at Cherry Hill.
Soon after his release in 1879, he again
went back to his oil ha' its, and for the
theft OF some money from the olil 20 OF
Messrs Adams q Story, Ninth and Girard
avenue, was taken back to prison. 1t is
this last term which he is now about
completing. During his long confne-
ment, Langheimer painted the walls OF
his cell quite beautifully, using colors ex
tracted from the yarn with which he was
obliged to work.
On being released from prison in 1877,
the old man went to Michigan to work
on fern, but shortly after, the lDspec'
tors of the penitentiary received note
from him asking that they send him
some money to return and to receive
him back into the Jail. No attention
was paid to the letter, but shortly after
Langheimer turned up in the city and
found his way into the House of Correc'
ton. After his release he committed a
crime and was sent back to his quarters
in Cherry Hill.

VEGETABLE OR MINERAL.

A physician writing to a journal of medi-
cine, not long ago, proclaimed against the
use Of mineral poisons in curing diseases,
on the ground that In ninety-nine cases out
of a hundred more mischief than benefit
was the result. In his practice he dispens-
ed entirely with the use of mercury, etc.,
and attributed his success mostly TO his
prescribing vegetable and herb medicines
only. In the face of these facts, every in

the dyspepsia dispenser regretfully. But
when the next day the rent col ecter

despair was such that it was all four

Green? Well, should Singer. You
see because they've been making little

it all. A party of four got here yesterday
morning, and started out shopping right

Charles Lambs Jokes.
The Spectator.


The following exquisite bit of whimsi-
cality was related by Mrs. Shelley of a
conversation with Lamb soon after her
return from Italy in 1928:
"One of the first questions he asked me
was whether they made puns in Italy. !
said, Yes, now Hunt is there He said
that Burney made pun in Otaheite, the
first that ever was made in that country.
At first the natives could not make out
what he meant; but all at once they dis
covered the pun, and danced around him
in transports of JOY" Or take this in
vective against albums, and notice the
wide sweep of Lambs imagination in de-
nouncing them I'VE are in the last ages
OF the world, when St. Paul prophesied
that women should be 'headstrong, low
ers of their own wills, having albums

ly very modest saying that Lamb had
once known young man who wanted
to be tailor, but had not the spirit"
and notice the extraordinary genius for
unexpectedness, the infnitude of whim-
sicality, that it suggests in the man who
could say it-a whimsicality surprising
in its width of range even that displayt d

MOVING A MENAGERlE.
An Enraged Tiger Kills u Lion Fifty tive

PHILADELPHIA Record.

Philadelphia Record.l
The exodus of nearly 500 tenants from
the vicinity of Lehigh avenue and Rich
mond street, yesterday, and their de-
porture for Washington last evening
caused no little stir in that usually quiet
part of the city. The exodusters repre-
sented nearly every species in the ami
NAL kingdom, from poll-parrot to Boil
ivar, king of the Mastodons," and it
was their transfer from the winter quar-
ters of Adam Forepaugh's mammoth
show to tie Centennial siding of the
Pennsylvania Road, from which the
eighteenth annual tour of the great
Forepaugh aggregation was last night
begun, that occasioned all this commo-
ton.
An unlooked-for tragedy was
enacted in the midst of the
work of transfer. In the same den
we're kept two lions and two tigers, sep
arated by strong wooden partition. To
such pitch of ferocity was one Of the Ii
gers stirred by the arrangements for re =
moval that he threw himself / n a frenzy
of rage against the partition, pounced
upon one ofthe lions, and, before the
keepers could lift an arm, fixed his fangs
deep in the throat of his victim. A tor
rent of blood gushed forth, and the king
of beasts desperately attempted to
throw off his assailant, but it was no use;
the tigers grip was death, and almost on
the instant the PROSTATE lion with a
spasmodic effort of head and limbs, fell
back cold and stiff. By this time dozen
hands were raining blows upon the head
of the ferocious brute, who stood over
the slain lion with glaring eyes and
| blood dyed jaws, and stunned by the
sudden attack, he was secured with ropes
and dragged into a close cage.

As CONFINED air is poor conductor o,
heat all fabrics that are porous, that Is
full of little interstices or tubes, or holes
filled with air, are the best protectors
to keep heat from escaping from the sur
face of the body. A loosely woven gar
ment or bed coverlid is waamer than a
compact, firmly woven one, because the
air in the texture of the former conducts
away heat less rapidly than the more SOL
id ones. Loose. fitting garments are
warmer than close-ftting ones, for rea-
sons above given, and also becaus the
air space between them and the skin is
a non-conductor of heat. Stone, brick,
or wooden walls with perpendicular air
spaces in them, are warmer than solid
walls, because the air conducts heat
away less than the solid materials. A
sheathing of tarred paper, even, placed
midway between the clap-boarding and
