If Mr.. Pope really believes that the Democrats
have not reduced taxes he can hand the OOlec-

poses on 81 200 worth of property, instead of
$3.50, the amount the Democratic rate for 1884
leyies on the same valuation. In this, the egth

Female Thumbs.
tTerpsichorc.l ]


The female thumb is said to be
an important index to the female
character. Women with large
thumbs are held by phrenologists,
physiognomists, ETC.. to be more
than ordinarily intelligent-what
are called sensible women; while
wemen with small thumbs are
regarded as romantic. According
to certain authors, who profess
to have been observers, a WOW ans
hsnd is more indicative of a
woman's character than her face,
at the latter is to q certain extent
under the control OF temporary
emotions, or of the will, whereas
tle former is o fact which exists
fr any one who understands il
toproft by. Women with SO uarc
hands and small thumbs are aid
o make good housewives and
sentle wives. This sort of women
will make any man happy who is
fortunate enough to win them.
They are not at all romantic, but
they are what is better, thor.
oughly domestic. Women with
long thumbs have tempers OF their
own. and generally a long tongue.
There is hint in this to lover.

man, he will have to be very,
very careful. Again, if a young
man finds tha! his lady y-love has a
large palm, with cone shaped
fingers and q small thumb, let
him thank his stars-for, in that
case, she is susceptible to tender
ness, easily fattered, very easily
talked into or out of anything,
and readily managed. But If she
is woman with a equare hand, /,
we'll proportioned, and only a
tolerably developed thumb, then
she is either one of two distinct
classes of women Ia practical
female who will stand no nom

male "a woman who cannot be

ABOUT ten years of age, was passing &
store on Michigan avenue the other day,
a cur dog belonging to the merchant
gave the lad Il snap on the leg. A great
commotlon was at once raised over the
circumstance, and the merchant finally
inquired:

Piled the woman.
Very well; come in and get it."
Lac cloth was torn off and handed 10
her' ana mother and son took their de-
parture. They returned, however, in g
lew minutes, and when the merchant
asked what was wanted she replied:
Its the boy who is raising a fuss.

HORRIBLE DEATH.

NTr,-.. Men Burned to Death by Blaz-
,,- M from an Exploded Tank-En'
.aao,.d in the Liquid Flames, They
perish Before Their Companions Eyes,
CLEVELAND, o., March 2o.-About ten
O'Clock Yesterday morning a sound not
loude1 THAN the noise made by two cars
closing together to be coupled was heard IN
the vicinity of Forest street, back OF the
Standard Oil Works Immediately the
iron ton Of an old still in the yards of Merri-
man & Morgan's oil and wax works shot
into the air, accompanied by quantities OF
brick. and followed by a huge sheet
of fame. An alarm Of fire was turned
in, and the department at once responded,
but the flames had obtained such headway
that the efforts of the tiremen were only d.
rected toward keeping the flames from
spreading to the large tanks standing near
Nv. The still was located inside a large
wooden Enclosure, with four or five other
tanks of the same kind. 1t was here that
the oil was being refined. To the wood
work and the other still the flames rapidly
spread, and a dense column of flame and
smoke shot upward to the sky.
About the stills at the time OF the explo-
sion were at work a large number OF what
are known as stiliers and laborers. Strange
as 1t may seem, every one OF those except
three escaped without injury. August
Fisher, William Stahlman and August Gun
Their, three of the laborers, were close to the
exploding still, and when the burning oil
shot out into the Enclosure it fell upon
them, and in a second their clothing was
in flames. They all started to run,
but before they could escape or
aid could reach them they were
burned to a crisp. Fisher had managed to
get some little distance away, but the other
two were found by the fremen charred and
burned beyond recognition close to the fatal
still. They were carried out as soon as the
heat of the fire had subsidized enough to
allow the firemen to reach them and placed
upon the ground. Their blackened
bones presented a most CHASTITY spectacle.
Hardly a vestige OF flesh was left on the
crumbling bones and had not their comrades
known exactly who they were recognition
would have been utterly impossible.
The remains were left lying Oh the ground,
covered over with pieces of rough cloth, to
await the arrival of the dead-wagon. The
latter came, but Merriam desired that
the Coroner should be present before the
remains of the unfortunate men were re-
moved.
August Fisher left a wife and two small
children; Stahlman, a wife, and Gunther, a
small family. All were men OF about
middle age, and their families were entirely
dependent upon their labors. The still
house and the stills were all entirely de.
stroyed, entailing a loss to the firm of not
less than $50, 900.

BOUND TO END HIS LIFE.
M~cFadden, One of the Express Robbers
Eats Ground Glass-Tiller Confesses.

McFadden, One of the Express Robbers,
Eats Ground Glass-Tiller Confesses.
ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, March 20.-Tiller, the
express robber, could not stand the press
u4e, and yesterday he confessed and impli-
Gated McFadden in the robbery. When the
latter heard of the action taken by his
pal he made a desperate attempt to com
nit suicide, and probably will not live,
Just before being transferred to Jail
McFadden was given a good dinner. In
his cell in the h%old-over, realizing the des-
perate position in which he was placed, he
took a small, empty bottle that had con-
tanned medicine, and having pounded it into
fragments, he then swallowed the glass
with his food and waited for the end. On
the way into Jail he told Tiller what he had
done. but the express clerk would not be-
lieve him. About four o'clock he was
taken i'll, and the attention of the Jail
guard was attracted to him. A physician
wa summoned, and emetics administered,
but the glass had passed from the stomach
into the intestines, and could not be reached.
He is suffering intense agony, and physicians
pronounce his case almost hopeless. Three
thousand dollars in silver were recovered
yesterday in Kansas City, where they
had been shipped by Tiller the day
after tile robbery. 1t was found in
the United States. Express office, marked
''To be held until called for" The Chief
of-Police said that S12, 900 YVES still missing.
and that it was controlled by Tiller. The
latter says that McFadden went from here
to Chicago with the proceeds of the robbery
Two days after it was committed.

Tired Birds.

Many of our birds fly several thou,,
and miles every Autumn, passing not|
only over Florida, where they might
find perpetual summer, but over tle1
Gulf and far beyond into the great s IN
mer land Of the Amazon: after a short
stay, returning again to the North, some
penetrating tothe extreme shores of the
Arctic seas. How the small birds fly So
great distances is almost ircomprehensi-
BILE, but l have seen many Ct our small
teathered friends on the little Key of
Tortugas, two hundred miles or more
from Cape Florida, the jumping off
place OF the United States. Great tlocks
of them would alight upon the walls OF
the fort, especially during s.orms, evil
IDENTIFY thoroughly tired; but the next
day they were up and away off over the
great stretch Of the Gulf and the Carib-
lean Sea.
Numbers of the English birds and
many from Northern Europe make.
yearly voyages down into the African
continent, and careful observers state
that they have seen the great storks, sci
common in Germany, moving along
high in the air, bearing on their broad
backs numbers of small birds that had
taken free passage. or were, perhaps.
stealing a ride. In these wonderful
migrations many birds are blown out IS
sea and lost, while others become So
tatigued and worm out that they will
alignt upon boats. A New England
fisherman, who in the Autumn follows
his calling fourteen or fifteen miles out
from shore, informed me that NEARLY
every day he had four or five small
BIRDS as companions. They had wan
dered Off from shore, or were flying
across the great bay on the lower coast
OF Maine, and had dropped down to
rest. One day the same fisherman fell
asleep while hol his line, and upon
suddenly opening his eyes, there sat 9
little bird on his hand, demurely cock.
