n.essy Patterson.s Mule KID.

Baltimore American: Springfield was
laid out by William Patterson, the
great Baltimore merchant, so famous
for his commercial affairs in the early
part of the present century. II was in
Springfield that Elizabeth (or Betsy)
Patterson first heard of the arrival OF
Prince jerome, the brother of the great
Bonaparte, in America. She was
living out there with her father when
the grand ball was to be given In Balti-
more To the young Prince and his asso-
ciates. She begged her father to be al
lowed to go to town for the ball, out he
not only refused to take her but locked
up all the horses anu Yer dresses. Her
determination to captiYate the Young
Prince, with the aid of her matchiess
beauty, was too well settled to be pre-
vented by her fathers orders, and,
mounting mule in her common horse
dress, and accompanied by a colOred
servant, who carried her ball-dress on
another mule, she set out after dark on
her twenty-mile ride of the Liberty road
for Baltimore. While the ball was ut
its height she arrived. won the Princes
heart, and brought upon herself all the
seventy years of woe and trouble that
she suffered after the Emperor refused,
in defiance of the Pope's decision. to
recognize her as his sister-in-law. The
weak Prince finally refused to recog-
nize his wife. and married again.
Nine. Bonaparta returned to Maryland,
aud, after obtaining divorce from tho
Legislature OF her native State, she
lived in Mary iand, aided by the pension
allowed by the French Government

A Dead Mans Hand.

San Francisco CALI ''Is there a
dead man here?" asked a wrinkled
cOlored woman. accompanied by q
white women and white infant, as she
entered the office of w. L. Hamilton,
Coroner of Alameda county, a few
weeks ago. The Coroner inquired in
to the reason for the request and the
negro woman explained that the child
has, since birth, had a wen oyer the
right eye, and that to cure it the pro-
tuberance must be rubbed by the hand
of dead man nine times every day for
niue successive days. She was sure
that the application of lifeless hand
would drive away the wen, for had not
herself had wen upon her Eeek which
had disappeared after this voudou
treatment? and she showed her maduro
neck to the youngest assistant of the
Coroner to prove that the wen had
gone. Mr.. Hamilton told her that "
ing in the morgue was the dead BODY
of man who, in his lifetime. had done
everything he could to help others, and
be felt certain that he would be glad to
do anything for any one in his death.
He led the way to the box where the
body was lying in ice and Withdrew
the hand. The voudou woman took
the cold palm aud touched with it nine
times the wen. Every day for several
days the negro woman and the mother
and the child came to the morgue, and
the strange performance was repeated.
Since the body was removed the mother
has reported to Mr.. Hamilton, who is
the sponsor for this statement, that the
wen has entirely disappeared.

Character curl Papers.

Boston Record: Curl papers show
character. Subtle distinctions of per-
sonality, based on the curl papers of a
young woman, may be as positive as
they are intricate and interesting. Your
creature of principle, who cschews curl
papers as deceptive in results must of
course be left out of this category. And
the fortunate feminine whose hair kinks
and curls better on a rainy day, or in q
sea breeze, or on a melting summer
afternoon than at any other time, can
not be counted either. But among the
devOtees of the curl paper, variations
of character may be safely and success
fully catalogued by a study of the time
and the manner of its use. OF course
a society belle never uses paper for her
friset. 1t is done up on pretty pat
ented arrangement of kid or something
else, and this genus of curl paper )
never seen outside of its wearer's own
private apartment. But in the Ordina. Y
home paper is usually used to curl the
front hair. And it may be set down as
an infallible rule that the young person
who appears at the breakfast table
with her forehead adorned by frizzes.
in prospect rather than in reality, is
lacking in a sense of the fitness of
things; she who wears her frizz papers
until lunch time is both lazy and selfish,
while she who wears them all day aud
never takes them down until sunset
needs no other sign to show her ignor
anee and her vanity. A crusade against
the curl paper would mean. first of all,
the preaching of the doctrine of an all
day comeliness instead of that spas
modio chrysalis sort which is associat-
oil with Its use.

Humortn Children.

At what age is a sense of humor
usually developed? 1t very rarely
exists in children under twelve. The
funny things that small children say
are not funny to them; the odd and
startling questions they ask have to
them no element of the incongruous.
1t is usually only when they lose the
faculty of making odd or deep
observations that they begin to sc, any
humOr in them. Much of their az pa
rent brightness comes from ignorance
of the true relation of things. A
couple of incidents illustrate his. A
gentleman in Massachusetts wIo was
born for a soldier, but had never the
opportunity to indulge himself in this
capacity, was made member of the
Governor staff. He at once procured
a uniform that for gold and gorgeous
ness surpassed anything ever seen in
the militia. Arrayed in this dazzling
costume, he called ono evening at a
house TO accompany 2 young lady to q
reception. The little girl of the family,
who was above-stairs watching the
progress of her sisters toilet, ran to
the balustrade and peeped over when
the bell rang. and saw this Resplendent
Being enter the hall.
''WhO is it, Joe?" cried the sister
II don know" replied the appre-
ciative child-'I dom know but /
think it is God. ?"
The other incident may be called
more subjective. A lady one day
drove to the house of a clergyman who
served q large parish, and of course
was frequently sent for to attend fune-
rails. While the carriage was waiting,
the coachman took up one of the chill
dren of the family, q boy of three years
and droye round the square. When he
was set down, the boy marched into
the parlor, and. by way of acknowl-
edgment, said to the lady, "Aunt Lu,

Singing sands.

There is a'siuging beach ut Man
chester, Mass For about one-Gfth of
a mile the sand will give out peculiar
sound when stirred by a stick or
walked upon. If a stick is driven into
the sand sound can be heard for two
hundred feet over the roar of the surf.
The life-saving service have made in
vestigations and found seventy-four
such elsewhere in America and thirteen
abroad. Certain naturalists have been
Investigating these resonant patches
and report: "The singing sand may
occur in comparatively small patches
in the midst of ordinary sand; it al
ways occurs between the limits of low
and high tide. The same sand does not
produce sounds at all seasons, nor does
it always give forth like sounds; when
wet it does not emit sounds. Samples
transported bags lose their sonorous-
ness, but retain it if transported in
bottles. The sound is produced by
friction between angular particles Its

People wonder why milk gets sour. They
cannot account forit. 1t has been determined
by scientific men that il is owing TO the presence
OF foreign substances. These are the reasons
why cream spoils so quickly: Milk would keep
sweet and cream also. II the milk could be
absolutely protected from the air In which
float the germs which spoil it. Some Of these
are vegetable and some animal. The last start
the securing OF acidity and the decay begins,
as il does with the development OF the former.
The mites are Known as Of the genius Bicillus.
These bacilli are not active in a cold atmosphere
or when II i heated, and they may be killed by
heating the milk up TO 1882. This will not
prevent more getting into the milk. nor will 1t
destroy the spores. Mix should be kept to
