vitriol, and finally to shoot the duke.
This last threat brought things to a
climax, and the Polignacs handed the
woman over to the police. 1t may be
added that the creature belongs to an
ariStocratic family, and is finely edu-
Gated and accustomed to the best So
ciety. She has, OF course, not the
slightest legal claim upon the Polig-
macs. The Duchess de Feltre is an
other victim. A man has been writing
to her of his intention to blow out her
husbands brains. Not only has he re-
peated the threat over and over, but he
has gone into elaborate descriptions OF
how he would do it, and how her hus-
band would look when he was brought
home to her on stretcher. In the style
of lola, he pictured the dying mans
agones; the blood and brains spattered
about; the horror and despair OF the
wife at the awful sight; the deSolation
of her widowhood. "All this" he
wrote, twill surely come to pass unless
you agree to an equitable division of
your wealth with me- The duchess
has been driven almost crazy by these
infamous communications, but has not
given the wretch any of her money for
which he clamors. The third case is that
of the DucheS de Luynes, who is one of
the grandest of all the grand danes of
France, and is, of course, enormously
rich. She is reputed to possess the 1in-
est jewelry in France. A short time
ago, while she was at Cannes, she was
called upon by street car conductor
from Paris named Guinard. He de-
clared himself to be distant relative OF
her husband. A dozen generations ago,
he declared, the fortune which should
have gone to the Guinard side Of the
family was wrongfully turned over to
the Luynes side. The result was that
the Guinards had ever since lived in
poverty, while the Luyneses literally
rolled in wealth. SIN justice" said he,
''every franc of your husbands fortune
belongs to me, and | think that | can
make him give it up to me if l go to
law. But the honor of sthe family is
just as dear to me, the poor conductor,
as to him the proud duke. do not wish
to air the matter in the courts, and so
will wave all my rights and claims to
the fortune if you will give me $4,000"
This was modest demand and tempt
ing offer for man to sell for $780, 900 his
title to fortune of fully S12,000,00
But the duchess did not so regard it.
She rang for her servants and had the
l0ng-lost cousin abruptly shown to the
door The fellow actually went to law
about it, and the case is still undecided
But Guinard's own lawyer declares
that he ''has not leg to stand on"

Clothespins are made in the lumber
regions. They are usually made of
white ash, sometimes of beech, black
and white birch and maple. The wood
is taken to the factory in logs and cut
into lengths of thirty-one inches by cir
cular saws. These lengths are then cut
into blocks and the blocks again cut
into sticks. These sticks are placed I'M
der another saw and cut into the re-
ouired lengths. Next the turner takes
a hand at them, and from, there they go
to the slotting machine. They are
placed in troughs by the operator. the
machine picking them up and slottlng
them. They are then placed in a revoiy-
ing pipe drier, going thence to the pol
ishing cylinder and thence to the packer.
Each pin passes drought eight hands.
A single plant consists of board saw,
gang splitter, gang chunker, turning
lathe, driving house and polisher, and
costs from $1,000 to $4,000. The ma
chimes working are very interesting:
The little blocks of wood five and half
inches long are placed on an endless
belt. which feeds the blocks automatic

NEWSPAPER WOMEN.
Not All Homely, Some Charming,
and All Good.

anu All NIOOus
Truth.
There must be an end to the fallacy
attaching homely face to every fe-
male writer. The ancientS located in
America up to 1876 claimed that any
woman who handled pen as an au-
thoress must be crank, blue-stock-
ing. a spinster, or, if by chance married,
a terror to her husband and SlOvenly in
her domestic affairs. But that is all
over with. Some of the most charming
women in the city are litterateurs, writers
on the daily press or makers or books.
AS a matter of fact they are much
more presentable and worthy repre-
sentatiyes of sex than is the average
male writer.
Mrs. K. Porter, for instance, who fur
nishes the Press with a few columns
daily, is an exceedingly bright and at
tractive little woman, with pretty face
and a quick, vivaciOuS manner: Miss
s'Bab," of the Star, whose wish to pre-
serve an incog / will not violate, is a
petite blonde, with a Springy step and a
rosy cheek; Miss May Gay Humphrey,
of the Mail and Express, cannot be re-
garded as beauty, although it can be
said she is not straight-laced, nor is she
usually PLAIN; MISS nellie bly, must
certainly be attractive, as well as clever,
to have gained the confidence of such
an array of impostors as she has shown
ND. and Miss Anne Toland, of the San
Francisco Examiner, in addition to her
exceptional educational advantages, is
charmingly graceful aud beautiful
woman.
AS Mrs. Frank Leslie has entered the
field of daily journalism by her contri-
buttons to the Journal, she may be in
Guided in the list, but her bright face
and large eyes are too well known to
require an Endorsement of their beauty.
So let us hear no more of homely liter
airy women, for if my list here is not
sufficient to give it contradiction the
doubter can look to the pOetesses and
novelists, Mrs. Wilcox and coterie,
where he will find the rarest female
beauty as well as talent.

Washington Letter.
Mrs. Cleveland is making rapid prog
ress in her study of the French Ian
guage, and now conyerSes quite huently
in that tongue. She continues to re-
ceive regular instruction from bright
little French woman, who resides a
SllOIl ulSUdIlEt UIlC CACCullfC
sion. Throughout the Lenten season
spent several honrs together twice a
week. The lessons are still going on,
but an hour or two once a week is as
much time as the young mistress of the
White House can devote to study at
present. The lessons are not given in
Mrs. Cleveland'S bOudoir, except when
the weather is inclement, but in the
White House coupe, behind the new
team of SOrrelS. One morning each week
Mrs. Cleveland calls at her French
teachers apartments, and when they
are comfortably seated in the carriage
Hawkins is directed to drive out into
the country and the French lessons pro-
coed. The pupil has so far advanced
as to be able to read, write and express
herself quite feely in the international
court language. and during these morn
ing drives the teacher and scholar con-
verse exclusively in French. Several
days ago, while out upon one OF these
open-air courses of instruction, Mrs.
Cleveland had occasion to give some in
stIuction to Hawkins concerning the
route to follow during the drive. She
for the moment forgot that Hawkins
was an African and not Frenchman,

eran coachman could not comprehend
what his mistress was saying, but rath-
er than expose his ignorance he pre-
tended to understand her, with bow
and grin, replied: ''Oui, oui, madame"
His aptness under the circumstances af-
forced much amusement for the 0ccu-
pants of the coupe, and Hawkins was
complimented on his remarkable for
eign accent.

an awful rush for pug dogs" said an
Eighth street dog fancier to Philadei-
phia News reporter
Every ultra-fashionable society girl
had to have her little pug doggie tied to
her, and the smaller and uglier the dog
the more stylish the girl.
"But now the pug is getting unfash-
ionable, and the little fox terrier is rap
idly filling his place in society circles"
"What is a fox terrier worth?"
"Well, that depends Oh what kind of
terrier you want, for the prices range
all the way up from SO to $4,000. You
may think that's eXaggeration, but it's
strict gospel truth all the same.
"FOr instance, the Richmond Olive
a famous fox terrier with pedigree
reaching back to William Penn's times,
is quoted at exactly $4,000, and you
couldn't buy the brute for cent less,
and here's the 'Raby Mixer whose
price is set at $1,000, and can'tbe bought
for that price.
THE Primrose is worth $500. Of
course these are exceptional terriers,
and have all taken first prizes.
Gan ordinary fox terrier can be
bought for $50 OF $50, but expect, now
that they have gone into society, the
price will go up. But you can't waste
your money on fox terrier. He is
good. game, affectionate little dog, and
don't you forget it,"

Oft the tarrying brooklet dallies
Meath the slowly rising mist.

Where the mellow, melting haze is
OF the sultry summer noon.

Through the bending ferns and flowers,
Ever sings il as it rambles,
Sings of sunny summer hours.

In the thcket there close woven
Where the woodland hangs o'erhead,
Through the thicket bushes c)oyen,
Moves it in its messy bed.
Where above the poisoning branches

Sings it holder songs and sweet.
