THE WHIPPING COUNTESS.
Alleged Extraordinary Confession by a
Woman of Her Criminal Experience.

A correspondent, who gives her name
and address and declares her statements
to be true in every particular, sends us,
says the Liverpool, England Courier
the following narrative of her criminal
experience:
Il am the daughter of poor mason,
who, l am sorry to say, used often
times to get drunk, then return home
and abuse his wife and children. For
some time the former bore with meek
ness the rough treatment of her spouse,
but ultimately she too sought to drown
her cares in liquor. With parents who
both quaffed the Intoxicating cup is
it any wonder her children (three girls
and boy) went to ruin? The son
went from one degree of iniquity to
another till ultimately he ended his
days on the gallows for the murder of
his sister. OF the two women left, one
of them was transported for life for
burglary, oft-repeated; and the other

steps, but succeeded in escaping with

offense, until the last of my parents
was laid in his grave.

night and stealthily opened the draw

Views of q Yale Student.

I like one kind of a girl for the sum-
mer and another kind for the winter,
writes Yale student to the New York
Press, which is collecting statistics of
the taste of college boys in the matter
of girls. The summer girl'' is much
the same all the world over, so / will
not weary you with description of her,
but will confne myself to the kind who
have relieved the hard study and mo-
notony of the college year; in other
words, the winter girl.
Beauty is a prime requisite, but not
the greatest requisite. That, [ think,
is cordially. We college boys do not
90 out into society very much, but
when we do we want to have a good
time. When, therefore, | meet a girl
who treats me as if I were to be trusted,
with an implied understanding that
she wishes for only a little better
knowledgeto honor me with her friend
ship, I like that girl, and do my best to
know her better. If she is pretty, so
much the better.
At ball, however, unless this girl be
pretty she must step into the back
ground. There like the prettiest and
the DcSG udlCCE. LII lUdG all COIe0c
men are alike. Wedepcnd on the girls
to do the talking, though with firts we
are quite willing to do our share. /
like a firt very much for a longer
time than merely pretty girl, but not
so long as the kind l first mentioned.
OF course all girls fiirt more or less,
but | mean by a fiirt one who takes it
up as her regular method of securing
attention.
A college society is different from
any other society only in that it is not
what might be called a marrying"
society. The boys and girls are both
too young to think of marrying, and
so there is a certain absence of restraint
between them. Otherwise it is not
very different from any other society,
and the college boy likes pretty much
the same sort of girls that other fell
lows of his acre do

The Hardness OF American Half
Breeds.

The experience Of the teachers of
the Lincoln Institution confirms the
views here expressed, that the mixed
Indian is more exempt from pulmonary
disease than the pure Indian; and, fur
Their, that if the former are attacked by
disease, they offer greater constitu-
tional resistance to it than the latter.
This view is also confirmed by the
large experience of Captain r. H.
Pratt, Superintendent of the Carlisle
Indian School, who says in his last re-
port: ''Our experience is, that the
mixed bloOds resist disease and death
from pulmonary troubles better than
the full bloods; and our best health
conditions are found among those we
send out into families-due, think
very largely to the regular occupation
and varied diet"
Similar views have been expressed
by others who have resided among the
mixed or half-breed races in the north
western part of Canada. These people
are said to be strong and hearty, long
lived, and not subject to disease, so
long as they remain in their native
climate. They regard themselves as
the equal of the whites, and look in a
patronizing way on the Indian. Their
families are usually very large, and the
female sex is said to be very hand
some.
Quite recently l had occasion to in
vestigate the question whether pull
monary consumption tends to termin-
ate the American Indian? and 1 then
found that nearly all those Indian
agencies which show the lowest con-
sumption rate are precisely those which
are shown in the table of this paper to
contain the largest number OF mixed
bloods. Of course, it is just possible
that the presence and the absence Of
pulmonary consumption in certain
tribes is purely coincidence; yet |
think, from what has been said con-
corning the improved physical condi-
ton of the mixed Indian, it is quite
evident that the greater immunity Of
these tribes from consumption is due
to the fact that they comprise large
element which has a superior power of
warding off disease.-Poputar Science

Some Gallant Savings.

Among the pretty things said of
women Whittier has given us this: eff
women lost us Eden, such as she alone
restores it Voltaire said: 1T is
woman who teaches US repoSe. civilitv,
and dignity" Ruskin SAYS great
many things of women. Shakespeare
has no heroes; he has only heroines. p"
This is always true in a ruder, earlier
stage of society. Women always be
gins civilization. The honor of women
has always been the cornerstone in
building society. A race lacking re-
Spect for women has never advanced
politically and socially, or speedily de-
cayed. Leasing said: Mature meant
to make woman its masterpiece. Con-
fucius, 1920 Years ago said: woman
is the worlds masterpiece. But NAL
herb spoke the mind of all Frenchmen
when he said: ''Thsre are only two
beautiful things in the world-women
and roses; and only two sweet things
women and melons, This was gallant
but natural, and it gave woman her
true place as a blossom and fruit of
nature.
Concerning women and men as equals
Ruskin saws; 1--WE are foolish and
without excuse in claiming the superior
ity of our sex to the other; in truth
each has what the other has not. One
completes the other and they are no.
thing alike. The happiness of both de-
ponds on each asking andreceiving from
the other what the other only can give"
Thackeray drew this contrast :..Almost
all women viii give q sympathizing
hearing to men whS are in love. Be
they ever so old, they grow young
again in that conversation and renew
their own early time. Men are not
quite so generous" Voltaire said:
''All the reasOnings of men are not
worth one sentiment ofwOman." Glad
stone says: woman is the most per-
feet when the most womanly." DR..
Clark says: MAN is not superior to
woman, nor woman to man. The re-
lation of the sexes is one of equality,
not of better and worse, or a higher
and lower. The Hottest idea ofhuman-
ity demands that each shall be perfect
in its kind, and not be hindered in its
best work The lily is not inferior to
the rose, nor the oak superior to the
clover, yet the glory of the lily is one
and the glory of oak is another, and
the use of the oak is not the use of the
clover" ''Woman,n says another
writer, ''must be regarded as woman,
not as nOndescript animal, with
greater OF less capacity for assimila-
ton to man" DR.. Clark says again:
Educate man for manhood, awoman
for womanhood; both for humanity"
Roger Williams said: woman is
predestined, is called, is justified, is
gloried, and wears that golden chain
as well as the wisest and strongest of
mankind

The Cabmen of Cuba.

The Cuban cochero or cabman is such
a marvellous contrast to the American
hackman that his deserts are beyond
the power of my pen. But he is also
such an unmitigated nonenity that he
deserves ignCminy. You pay but 40
cents in Spanish paper, equivalent to
only IS cents in gold, for tourney"
or ride in his little victoria from one
point within the city to any other. He
seldom overcharges a customer.
Whether so or not, the cocherO, when
unemployed, sleeps on his box, his lit
tie nag meanwhile sleeping in the
shafts, and when awake he is good
natured, greasy and silent. He does
as he is bid and for the rest relies upon
your honor, Providence and the police.
He seldom rises to the tremendous
hight of proprietorship, but rents his
shabby outfit Of a company which has
high-sounding name and is peren-
nially short of fodder. The cochero
has no home, eats at the cheap cafe,
sleeps in the stable-loft or upon his own
carriage-box and makes love anywhere.

Eating Poi in Hawaii.

He takes a piece of broken shell,
peels the roots, and takes a few on a
piece of a huge log, followed out
slightly in the center, and, sitting down
cross-legged before it, commences his
work.
The kalo must be pounded up into
one smooth, sticky mass; for this pur-
pose he uses a rounded rock, the bot
tom of which is convex, and about as
big around as a saucer, with small
upright handle surmounted by a knob,
weighing about four pounds. Pound,
slap, pound slap. The pound on the
kalo, the slap made by the wet left
hand, which thus keeps the face of the
rock wet, so that it will not adhere to
the mass, for so excessively yiscid is it
that it has to bekept constantly wetted,
water being often thrown on the board,
also, to prevent it sticking.
And now it begins tolook something
like large batch of dough. only that
it is of a grayish-blue color. This stiff,
sticky mass is ready now for the huge
calabash, which the old lady is bring
ing out to receive it.
DO you know what native Gala
bash is? Never mind now about that,
we will find out all about them when
we talk over the ancient customs of the
Hawiians. 1t is this kalo poi which
now interests us. Tomorrow it can be
thinned up with water and eaten, but
it will not be good, for it has only
risen OF fermented through the night,
and is too new; two or three days will
find it just pleasantly sour, and de-
licious with fat beef, dried fish, or
roast chicken; it also makes the best
adhesive paste in the world, it is so
rich in glutin.
While we watched the heavy pound,
slap, pound, slap movement of the old
natives arm we listened to stories
of this same poi: How that the
wife of Kamehameha /. was so enOr-
mously fat and so tremendously lazy
that she would not do her own eating,
but was fed while lying down, by her
attendants, who poured the soft, gluti-
nous stuff down her throat in one con-
tinous stream until her appetite was
satisfied.
You remember how deXterous every
native is in the manner of eating his
poi, which he takes up in his two front
fingers, usually, giving it a quick flip
and twirl and then popping it into his
mouth. And as the hour approaches
for the native meal, and you see the
woman bring out the family calabash
with few dried fish, or perhaps raw
ones, as an accompaniment, memories
of other such meals, in which the con-
slant smacking and sucking of fingers,
making a series of small reports, crowd
upon your perhaps delicate digestive
organs, and you politely decline the
cordial invitation to ''ai hui (eat to-
gether), and wend your way home in
the cool twilight. Lake Womaaa's

husbands are utterly spoiled by mis-
management. Some women 90 about
as if their husbands were bladders and
blow them up. Others keep them con-
stantlv in hot water; Others let them
freeze BY their carelessneSs and in
difference. Some keep them in a stew
by irritating ways and words. Others
roast them. Some keep them in
pickle all their lives. 1t can not be
supposed that any husband viii be ten
der and good, managed in this way.
but they are really delicious when
properly treated. In selecting your
husband you should not be guided by
the silvery appearance as in buying
mackerel, nor by the golden tint as if
you wanted salmon. Be sure and
select him yourself, as tastes differ.
Do not 90 to market for him, as the
best are always brought to your door.
1t Is far better to have none unless you
will patiently learn how to cook him.
a preserving kettle of the finest porce-
lain is best, but if you have nothing
but an earthenWare pipkin it will do
with care. See that the linen in W mich
you wrap him is nicely washed and
mended, with the required number of
buttons and strings nicely sewed on.
Tie him in the kettle by a strong silk
cord called comfort, as the one called
duty is apt to be weak. They are apt
to fly out of the kettle and be burned
and crusted on the edges, since, like
crabs and oysters. You have to cook
them alive. Make a clear, steady fire
out of love, neatness and cheefulness.
Set him as near this as seems to agree
with him. If he sputters and fizzles do
not be anxious; some husbands do this
until they are quite done. Add a little
sugar. in the form of what confection-
ers call kisses, but no vinegar or pep
per on any account. A little spice i'm
proves them, but it must be used with
Judgment. Do not stick any sharp in
strument into him to see if he is be-
coming tender. Stir him gently; watch
the while, lest he lie too fiat and close
to the kettle and so become useless.
You can not fail to know when he
is done. If thus treated you will find
him very digestible, agreeing nicely
with you and the children, and he will
keep as long as you want unless you
become careless and set him in too
cool a place.
