The Danger of Spring Locks.

There is one exceedingly dangerous thing
permitted in the building and repairing of
houses every day, and that is the use of snap
locks or spring catches on small closet doors,
which are still large enough to permit the
entrance of little child Children in their
play are always creeping into such places:
and if the door CLOSES with spring catch,
there is no way for them to get out, if they
happen TO be beyond the hearing Of Others
An ordinary close closet or cupboard con
tains only air enOughtO support life very
short time. We know Of an instance that
occurred several years ago, but which is
likely to b. repeated any day, wherein three
little children lost their lives in this way.
The parents had gone away visiting, leaving
the little ones at home alone-and, by the
way, what dreadful risk people run who DO
so-and when they came back the children
We're not TO be seen. \ frantic search re-
vealed them lying in a pantry closet or cup
board into which they had crept in their
play-dead-s d.-Minneapoli House

An Interview with Louise Michel.

Apropos of nothing in particular, we
ask if she has ever been married" NO"
she assures u.s. "and also yes. To a man,
no, because all men, by reason of their
nature and education, are emperOrs. They
can not help it, they mean well But
am opposed to the empire, and am not am
bitiOus to have personal emperor. Again
say, yes, am married. My husband is
fantastic, variable, capricious, intense.
He possesses ME. Sometimes he is cruel.
sometimes he stones me in the streets
Sometimes he starves me. He never has
time to adore me. Yet l am his loyal
spouse. His name is Revolution. Paris

Sitting Well in a Carringe.

well placed on the cushion Of her victoria,
