The denizens of .Leipsic, young and
old, mourn the loss of one of the most
modest and retiring, vet most skillful,
operators-Frau Emma Friederike
Schneider, better known as the
doll doctor,'' who died there
last week. For more than half
century, ever since the death
of her husband and child. this quaint,
quiet and interchangeable woman has de-
voted her life and skill to the repairing
and freshening up of dolls, in which oc-
cupation she had attained an incredible
deXterity not only, but also won the
hearts of the growing as we'll as the
grown generations of Leipsic. A visit
to her atelier was one of the sights of
the city. Those who were permitted to
enter the sacred precincts could only do
so standing-chairS, tables, the floor, the
walls, in fact every available place was
covered with ''cripples" of both sexes
boys and girls i'll rags or entirely with
out habiliments, that lacked one or
both eyes, one or both arms, or legs or
feet, the ''innardS.' nose. a wig. or
the half or whole of a head, ETC., and
that were turned out as good as new by
the quiet. almost dwarfted little woman,
to the delight of the juvenile posses

''irreparable" for long time to come.
MEM. FOR CHARITY BALL BELLIES.

A true incident illustrates the prefer

lief instead of work. An INDECENT father
of family sought relief and was given
light indoor labor, which, with the addi-
ton of sum given without his knOwl-
edge, made his earnings 81 a day.
Being one day refused gift,
he burst forth with: "Money was
phat l wanted when / first went to
yeZ; We just put me name beyant in yer
book and made me arm it, mum, when
ye has full and plenty of it for the
akin; want me rint paid and me coal

in the cowld of a Monday or Chews-
day, when there's plnty that's willing
and ager to help the poor. Charity was

CLEVELAND WOMEN ARE BRUNETTES.
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Dark women predominant in this
town. Stand in public place and keep
tab on compilations. Or, if it suits as
well and saves time-a valuable COM
modity-gather your statistics in a
street car or on railroad train. You
will get fair sample of men and women
| on either. About 70 per cent of women
will have hair of the darker shades of
brown or black, and not more than
| 10 per cent will be found with
blonde hair, even in these days of
| bleaching. The other 90 per cent will
be made up of muddy and red tints.
| The percentage of fair men will be
found larger by nearly 10 per cent, and
nothing need be allowed for bleaching
| Considering the strong dash of TeutOnic
blood within us as a nation the result of
my observations in this line surprised
me good deal.
| MANS POWER OF IMAGINATION.
| New Orleans Picayune.
| The power of imagination is supposed
to be stronger in women than in men,
but this was not shown in recent hos
pital experiment. DR.. Durand, wishing
to test the practical effect of mind dis
ease, gave 100 patients dose
of sweetened water. Fifteen min
utes after. entering apparently in
great excitement, he announced
that he had by mistake given power
full emetic and preparations must be
made accordingly. Eighty out of the
100 patients became thoroughly i'll and
exhibited the usual result of an emetic
twenty were unaffected. The curious
part of it is that, with very few excep-
tons, the eighty ''emeticised" subjects
were men, while the strong minded few,
who were not to be caught with chaff,
| were women.
A girl who is but ten years old has
