some investigations into the fiction
published for the year ending March
31st, 1885, of the heroines portrayed.
372 we're described as blondes while 100
we're brunettes. OF these 562 were ladies,
437 were beautiful women, 274 were
married to the men of their choice,

to be bound in wedlock TO the wrong
man, the remainder either having died
before marriage or remained single.

among fatal maladIes to which they
Succumb. They are also found to marry
few years earlier than formerly.
The personal charms of the heroines
include 1000 almend-shaped eyes and
1872 shell-like ears. OF the ewes 612
have had dreamy look, while eighty
six have flashed fire. Eyes of brown
and blue are in the descendant. There
has also been large increase in the
heroiness who possess dimples. Five
hundred and two were blessed with
sisters and 396 had brothers. In forty
seven cases mothers had figured as
heroines, with liz children between
them ranging from one calendar month
to eight years, seventy.one of these |
children having been rescued from a
watery grave. Three of the husbands |

discovered to be bigamists, and seven

The panic cause! by the rapid spread Of
cholera in the country districts of Spain is
increasing. Entire villages have been
deserted by their inhabitants, who
have fled for safety from tho
dreaded disease In many cases doc
tors and municipal authorities have BEEN at
tackled by the scpurge. and the sick have been
abandoned and the dead left unburied Re-
ports from some places state that it is impos-
sble to obtain provisions or medicines. The
misery throughout the country is great
The populace in Granada brutally assaulted
several doctors who hal declined to give
more attention TO patients The hostility to
the doctors has resulted in an alarming spread
OF the disease among helower classes, by whom
doctors are always compelled TO taste the medi-
cines they wish to administer. The
commander of the province and many officers
priests, and nuns have succumbcd to the dis
ease, attacks of which are most fatal at night
fall and during storms Thousands are sue

Great alarm also exists in France on
account of the appearance of the disease IN

A TERRIBLE TORNADO.
Great Damage Along the Delaware
River Several Persons Killed.

A terrible tornado sweeping up the Della
ware river the other afternoon reached Phil
ndelphia near Green Point, and demolished
portion of the works of the Pennsylvania
Salt Manufacturing company and injured
several employees. 1t then took n course
across the river, wreckng the river steam
er Major Reybold and the ferryboat Peerless.
The storm blew the pilot, Emery Townsend,
and Captain Reybold, of the steamer Rey-
bold, into the river, drowning the former
and painfully injuring the captain. The
Peerless was swept clean, almost to the
waters edge. and horse and wagon were
hurled into the waters and sank.
The storm then passed over to the Jersey
side, striking John Dialogues shipyards below
kaighn's Point and destroying the buildings
of the establishment. 1t then took course
along the New Jersey river front, demolishng
all the buildings in its path, up to Bridge
avenue, Camden. AT this point the tornado
took an easterly course to Fifth street, Cam
den, embracing in its path all that section Of the
city between Second and Fifth streets to the
Delaware river which washes the northern
section of the city. Passing over the river,
skirting Pettys Island, the storm passed over
to that part of the Twenty fifth ward of
Philadelphia known as Richmond. In its
ravages in Camden scores OF dwelling houses
were unrOofed and some OF them thrown
down, and the damage to the business prop
erty along the river front is enormous
Hundreds of families were rendered home
less, and one victim. Charles Daley, was
killed outright at the American Dredging
company's wharf Another, Harry Stevens,
had his leg cut Off by flying piece of timber

were rendered homeless, and damage esti-
mated at 81 900, 900 was inflicted.
