A Woman Covhided,

WILMINGTON. NO. ,Aug.13.-A 1nysteri-
u affair occurred here in one Of the public
streets after midnight, which was wit
messed by several residents. A buggy
drove through the street, and the occu-
pants were a lady and gentleman driy-
ing leisurely. When it was neal the
city hospital q man suddenly stepped
from behind a tree-box and stopped the
horse. He said in quiet voice: ssNow
get out of the buggy" The lady did SO,
and the man pulled a cowhide from be-
meath his coat and began beating her un-
m%ercifully. She stood still as he rained
the blows upon her head and shoulders,
and she made no outcry. The occupant
of the buggy iroye rapidly Off as soon as
the cowhide was drawn. After the man
had used the cowhide vigorously for
awhile, he said In the same quiet tone:
Now go home" She staggered on in
front of him. Though the sharp leather
made heavy welts upon her neck and
shoulders through the white dress that
she wore, she did not finch. Several
residents witnessed the scene from their
bedroom windows, but it was all SO
quickly and quietly done that it was
over before they could interfere.

officers had disappeared from the city
at about the time the Inspector left.
Two weeks ago Bonfeld expressed con-
fidence that he would yet bring Tascott
to the gallows, and said he had strong
hopes of laying his hands on him before
many months. AT the same time he
stated that Tascott's relatives had been
closely watched, and that if there was
any communication between them and
the murderer the police would surely
learn of it. The inspector also said he
believed that TascotU was still IN the
continent, and that he was hiding ONE
where in the mining districts, or on some
remote cattle ranch.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.--The weather
crop bulletin for the week ending Satur-
day, Aug. II, says:
Reports from ~ England, the middle
and South Atlantic states districts north
of the Ohio river, and from Kansas, Mis-
souri, and southern Nebraska, indicate
THAI the favorable weather in those sec
tions during the past week generally Inn
proved the conditions of crops, especially
of corn, although some damage from
wind and rain is reported from sections
of Ohio and Missouri. Excessive rainfall
and cool weather in Minnesota and
northern Nebraska, are reported as re-
tarding the growth Of crops and delaying
the harvest.
The rainfall during the week in cotton
and tobacco regions Of the lower Missis-
slppf valley was not sufficient to. remove
the indications of drought previously re-
ported from that section, and crops are
still suffering from want of rain. Light
frosts occurred In northwestern Mime
sofa and in Michigan Friday, but no
damage is reported.

Good Advice for scribbI~ru.

Disabuse yourself especially of the be.
lief that any grace or flow of style can
come from writing rapidly. Haste car
make You slipshcd, but it can never
make You graceful. / can hardly think
that there is any autograph in the world
so precious or instructive as that scrap OF
paper, still preserved at Ferrara, on
which ArioSto wrote in sixteen different
revisions one of his most famous stanzas.
And then Balzac: do you know how he
used to compose? The story is too long
for repetition here. but his own words
give some idea of his great patience and
~yefulness: Il work ten hours out of
the twenty four over the elaboration of
my unhappy style, and am never salts
tied myself when all is DONE
''Spare no wealth that YOU can put in,
and tolerate no supertfuity that can be
struck out" Remember the Lace
damonian who was fined for saving that
in three words which might as well have
been expressed in two. Do not throw
dozen vague epithets at thing in the
hope that some one of them will fit, but
study each phrase so carefully that the
most ingenious critic cannot alter it with
out spelling the whole passage for every
body but himself.-Domestic Monthly.

a brunette, without being Of the extreme

to be of warm. rosy hue. Judging the

those of England or America. l should
say that while the former average high.
there is too great a sameness about the
