Nearly Lost Saturday.

Last Saturday Ham Cherry arose in the
morning, took a bath, put on his black suit,
and after breakfast occupied himself read
ing sacred books. He told his folks that as
it was so far to church, and as the of horse
had CALLED his shoulder %ploughing, he
guessed he would not drive thither. Every.
thing has quiet and pesceable about, and
Ham was glad there was a day left for man
10 rest and recuperate. But Just after a late
dinner a neighbor came along with a load
Of hay. Ham stepped to the door and called
out:
"How is this, John, that you are working
to-day? Tou should 60 to meeting"
"Hain't got no time to 60 to meeting on
week days" answered John. Sunday is
the time | can spare for church going"
The man then drove On. Cherry stood
and scratched his head meditatively a few
moments, and then entered the house. H.
told his wife to take a pencil and check off
he days.

A 0 E MISS FLrTE
An Insane Woman who Haunts the Courts
of Chicago.

An Insane Woman who Haunts the Courts
of Chicago.
CHICAGO, Jhne GA modern Miss Flte
cam to light to-day in Judge Collins court
room. Her name is Miss Marion Leonard.
She is q pale faced and very nervous lady
of refined manner and speech and about
35 years old. Sometime ago she began q
suit before Judge Collins to recover Sio,OO9
damages from Margaret Heimred for alleged
false Imprisonment, and ever since this suit
was decided against her she has been haunt
ing Judge Colhns's court room, denouneing
her attorneys as betrsyers, and demanding
TO be heard by the Judge in her " behalf.
Judge Collins always treated her kindly, out
b MOI n ug the lady became very excited
when she wa refused permission 70 argue
her motion for a new trial. So threatening
became her language, so wild her demeanor,
that the Judge, as well as the clerk, feared
the woman meant mischief, and they there
fore procured a warrant from the Count
on a charge of insanity. County Judg
Prendegrast consented to a prehmln NY
hearing at once, and the lady testified n
her own behalf. Although talking Q lite
nationally and intelligently, she used SO
much legal language, and spoke much OF
large damage suits she had pending a1d
would institute, that it became plain s1e
was suffering from h~allucination. She
charged that Judge Collins and his clerks
were in conspiracy with her lawyers to de-
fraud her out Of her rights, but denied hsv-
ing intended to resort 10 violence when 1t
was intimatei that she might have a revolt
yer about her.
4 MIR. Sherburn, who has acted asthe lady 8
atsorney, stated that she was q chronic hit
gant and suffered from h~alluclnations which
made her il 8 me. Her principal trouble
seemed to be that she thought she was N
stantly being followed BY a man named
johnson, in Brooklyn whom she charged
with instigstipg all the trouble that Def
her, and getting up a regular conspiracy
against her, in which Judge Collins, the
court officers, and her lawyers all ioiled.
While in a boarding house on Ashland-aVe
nue. she slept with a Ratchet under her pill
low, to be used against johnson whenever
be should come near her. In spite OF all
her attorneys attempts he had never been
able to make her give any description Of
Johnson or to name a place where she had
seen him or where he could be met, but she
wanted him to begin suit against Johnson
for SlOO,O 900. A suit for a like amount she
wanted brought against Lieut.. Shea, OF tn
detective force, who had locked her up for
three days. Col. Cameron, the City Attor-
ney, and the city too, were all to be sued for
100000.
Judge Pendegrast committed the lady to
the care of the matron Of the insane de,
partment of the, County Jail until Monday
afternoon, when the trial is to be resumed.
When led out of court she protested violent
" against what she termed a fresh outrage,
and wanted to bring q suit for $780, OU
damages against Judge Pendegrast and the
State of Illinois on the spot. Nobody seam,
to know who Miss Leonard is, but she has
been a fixture Of the court rooms for a l5ng
while.

FASHION,

Innovations In skirts and ReyeIssions In
Hose and Bonnets.
IlCrinolines haven't come back to plague us
vet, but they may swell into sight almost any
time. Indeed the increasing dimensions Of
the tournure give assurance that the time 10
approaching wnen hoops will form part OF
every regular toilette. The present tourn-
ure requires the careful consideration OF the
wearer to escape caricature. 1t is not In
frequently seen on the streets worn over a
dress too delicate to hide its contour and
shape; the drapesy is insufficient; it has a
live webbing" effect as graphically de-
scribed by a lookeron, particularly where
the arms were too narrow for proportion.
The waist. alas, is being compressed back
TO that barbaric contour which led the poet
of 1871 to write:
Shepherds, I have lost my waist;
Have you seen my bod?
Sacrificed 10 modern taLSe,
Pm quite a hoddy-doddy.
For fashion l that part forsook
Where SageS place the belly
It's gone and 1 have not 4 nook
For cheese, cake, tart or JeHy'
Never shall l see IL more
Till, common sense returning,
NV body TO my legs restore.
Then / shall cease from mourning.
Folly and and fashion do prevail
To such extremes among the lair
A woman's onlytOp and tail;
The body's banished, God knows Nhcre
. Could anthing be apter? 49,.
For these great %tournures puts ana nair
pads are absolutely necessary. As TAR as
the young women's evening costumes are
concerned, the puff will be rarely seen. The
foundation skirt is short and straight, aud
covered with some light fabric. The dress
frequently consists Of seven or eight Light
tulle skirts, all of the same length, and
simply cut of at the edge without hens or
puffs, and plated at the top. The costume
is narrow, though prominent, and SNAPPED
somewhat like bow of a boat. All thes toll
ets are made OF tulle, gauze, crepe and SINH
lar materials, and the full-plaited skirt has
sometimes o short apron d cry. The
bodice is either plain and tight.ftted or
gagged at the waist. A wide sash Of con
trasting color completes the costume.

Woman's sixth Sense.

Here ia q singular instance OF the work
ing Of that subtle, fine, sixth sense, whict
is apt to affect m M re than men, anC
which is 80 mysterious in character that We
often incline to deny its existence at all, A
lady sat sewing quietly in her sitting-room
and in an inner chamber the nurse had Just
put the baby to sleep and put her in her basi
nette. As the nurse came out Of the cham
Der she said TO her mistress:
1.-THE little thing is asleep for three hours,
ma'am, I'LL warrant"
The nurse went down stairs, and for about
q minute the mother sewed on. Suddenly q
desire seized her 10 60 and take the sleeping
child from its crib
what nousenssl' she said TO h:rself
Baby is souud asleep Nurse just put her
down. / shall not GO
Instantly. however, some power. stronger
even than the last, urged the mother TO 90
to her baby; and, after a moment, she rose,
half vexed with herself, and went TO her
chamber. The baby was asleep in her little
bed, safely tucked In with soft white and
pink blankets. One email hand was thrown
,boye the little brown head. 1t was hall
op.n, tie exquisite fingers slightly curved,
a d the palm as rosy as the depths of q
lovely shtll.
"My bsbyI" whispered the mother, ador'
ing the little sleeper as mothers will. MY
own little baby"
She bent over suddenly a third time, i'm
PEELED by that mysterious force which wa
controlling her, and, for no apparent rea.
son, took the sleeping babe in her arms and
went swiftly in the other room. She had
scarcely crossed the threshold when a start
ing sound caused her TO look back. Through
a sitting cloud Of thick clay dust she saw
hat the ceiling above the baby's cradle had
fallen, burying the heaps Of rosy blankets,
and lying heaviest Of all upon thatspot where,
but for her mystic warning, her little child
would even now be living.

HOW THE PALM SPEAKS.
Language and ,Msaning Of the H.nal

Language and <Msaning Of the Human
Hand.
Small hands reveal themselves BY magni-
tude, grace, ge~neralities. The pyramid and
monoliths of and the temples oflndia
were planned and superintendent By people
celebrated as having the smallest and most
delicate hands in the world.
The model Greek hand, as shown in the
ideal statues, is large, with . moderately
thick palm and prominent thumb.
The medium sized hand, in fair prooor-
ton with the body, is the hand that will do
or delegate the doing best. James B Eads,
who originated the great tubular steel bri igs
over the mississippi at St. Louis, and plan
ned the ~jetties, has very small hands.
Henry Fad, who worked out .hs details
OF construction and calculated the details
of strain aud tension, has large, efficient
hands.
Abraham Lincon, who gave personal OF.
ten,ion TO matters usually trusted to subosdi.
mates, had very large hands.
Jay Gould, who forms immense plans,
but does all his work through s~ubordinstes,
has small, short hands.
The hard hand indicates one easily puts
forth continued action, endures in physical
fort and delights in energetic activity.
The elastic tr sinewy hand loves rapid,
skillful activity. Ii is characterized BY
energy rather than endurance.
Soft hands belong to one who laboss with
fatigue and WEAKNESS.
In all occnlt matters the thumb plsyes 8
prominent part. 1t indicates the intelligent
will In general, a large thumb shows decis'
ion Of character, persistency OF purpose,
therefore is apt to belong TO one hkel to sue
coed. A small thumb elbows one who is
yacillstipg and uncertain in his aims, inter
mittent and chsngeable in his efforts.
Short fingers indicate n who sees in
general, examines only the mass, compre'
bends the tout ensemble.
Long fingers indicate one who sees the
rsrts, appreciates tie details and understands
the minute.
Slightly tapering fingers indicate one
growing in the direction Of ideahty.
Fingers lying close together, so that nc
light is seen between them, especially il the
fingers are irregular, suggests avarice, sec
| recy and general s~elishness.
Famous instrumental musicians, celebra
I'D marksmea, skillful gymnasts and arti
ssns are apt to have square finger ends
Pointed finger ends attest a person fancitul
cratic, romantic, impractical, changeable
sometimes unreliable always peculiar.
Long nails indicate a peacemaker, ont
| who will bear much for the sake OF quiet
and is steadfast in friendship.
Short nails belong 10 one who will a7ser
his rights.
Large, white half moons at the base o
the nails announce o frank, open.heartet
person, who naturally speaks his thought
and tells his plans and purposes. He ma.
keep a secret, but it requires an effort. Th
naturally secretive person is not apt to hsv'
any sign Of half moons.
Pale spots on the nails, especially nsa
the base, indicates disease Of the nerves an,
az ipciiUstiOp 70 melancholy.
