The Most Beautiful American Woman.
From the Cincinnati Gazette.

WAsHINGToS. Dec. 19.-When
the snow began Mrs. Cleveland was
shopping on the avenue. She was
walking from store to store with one
Of her guests. whom she always takes
along to make q contrast with her
own prettiness. She is fast walker,
and made her friend trot to keep up
with her. She vas plainly dressed
in . tight-ftting suit, with small.
modest hat and no wraps. In the
gown and jacket her beautiful figure
81 owed of to perfection. and even
with her slender wsist and girlish
contour one seeing her upon the
street can hardly believe her Own
statement that she weighs 40
pounds. But she is large woman,
and taller than her husband. and
when with him looks taller from her

general wealth Of sdipose tissue.
Once Mrs. Cleveland paused to
enter into business negotiations with
an urchin selling peacock feather
ornaments. She handled the differ.
ent bunches, and asked the prices.
Her friend became nervous be-
cause of the gathering crowd and
startling eyes, and said, Come on,
frankie; don't you see what crowd
you are collecting P
That's sll right was the cool re-
ply. Il can't help it.
She selected bunch, paid a dime
for it, taking the money from gold

and the two ladies sloped into a sad
dlery and horse millinery store, and
began examining horse blankets, stir.
rups, and bits. while the crowd slow.
ly melted away. When they were
all gone, Mrs. Cleveland and her
friends again ventured out upon the
street and walked until another
crowd gathered. and then they took
final refuge in ajewelry store.
From there, az the snow began
coming down faster, they took a

Cleveland passed up her fare to a
colored man to deposit in the box.

body else in the herdie had any idea
who the young lady was, but the
whole party bec&me very wide awake
IS to her identity when Sue and her
companion slighted at the white
house and seampered up the broad
walk through the fast falling snow.
Mrs. Cleveland at once made things
lively in the white house. There
was ringing OF bells and hurrying of
servants and grooms, and within half
"a hour the big old white house
sleigh, which has been stored away
unused Tor several years, was brought
out, with horses and bells and robes,
and Mrs. Cleveland and party jumped
in and started out on a gay trip to
Oak View and Grasslands, just as
the sky cleared and. the new moon
shone forth.

A Woman Who Can Hold Her
Tongue

Among the attractions at a loan

the Princess Marguerite, OF Italy.
Much difference of opinion prevailed
as to whether the figure was of wax,
or flesh and blood and bets aggre-

made, and the figure was found to

Lower Once Before.

Very little water is flowing out OF
Lake Tahoe and the gates of the
dam at the outlet are all raised
The water of the lake is lower than
ever before but there was time be-
fore the advent of the whites when
it was much lower than now. This
fact is demonstrated in the follow
ing way: There is large fat rock
near the shore of the lake which is
now above water, but which no
white man can ever remember OF
having seen dry before. An in
spection of the rock, however dis
closes on its surface several large
holes, evidently made by Indians
in pounding acorns, and it is prob
able that years and years ago the
used to grind acorns and
pine nuts on that rock which must
have been above water. Thus the
water in Tahoe must at some time
IN the past have been lower than
now.

Singular Loss OF Memory.

A recent medical journal gives the re-
port Of a case Of singular loss Of memory
in a young girl residing in New York.
Sitting in her own day, she
took up a package Of letters which
she intended to answer, and was
amazed To find that she could not re-
member the anne or appearance Of any
Of the writers, all of whom were her
W personal friends.
She was calm and sane except upon
this point; her memory Of persons seemed
to be suddenly and wholly obliterated.
She hastily descended TO the room
where tine family was gathered for
dinner, and found hat she could
not remember O single name or
face, except that of her mother. Her
father, sisters and brothers appeared To
her as strangers. nor WIS il possible to
recall them TO her. The faculty Of men,
DRY Of persons appeared 10 be paralyzed
1t was found by the physicians that this
singular effect was produced by the lodg-
ment of a clot Of blood upon a certain
Dart of the brain.
Another well known mental disorder,
which produces forgetfulncss Of words,
results from abnormal pressure, or soft
ching, in another part of the brain. The
patient frequently takes word, suclI

them. Cover the mouth OF lie bowl

1t. Put the bowl of the pipe into a fire
where it will get red hot, and you will
soon see a yellowiSh smoke come out of
the stem, and if you touch q light to the
smoke it will burn brightly, for it is
nothing more or less than the gas from
the coal.
You can purify and collect this gas in
n simple way. Fill a bottle with water
and turn it upside down in a bowl of
water. You know the water will not
run out of the bottle because the air pres
sure on the water in the bowl will pre-
vent it. Put the end of the pipe stem
under the mouth of the bottle, and the
gas will bubble up through the water into
the bottle, gradually displacing the water,
and if the pipe were large enough to
make a great deal Of gas the bottle would
be entirely filed with it.
You have seen the immense quantities
Of coke which they have at the gas
works; that is what is left of the coal
after the gas has been burned out of it.
Coke is carbon, only a small part Of what
was in the coal having gone off with the
gas. Take the clay covering of your
pipe and you will find the bowl filled
with this coke.
Now, that l. precisely the way gas is
made in large quantities at the gus works.

up the acids in il into the immense iron
gas holders which you have seen at the
works.
These holders are open at the bottom,
and stand, Or rather swing, in tanks of
water, being adjusted by means of
weights. As the gas comes into them
they rise up out Of the water, but the
bottoms are always submerged, SO that
the gas cannot escape. The large gas
pipes, or mains as they are called, con-
meet with the holders and conduct the
gas through the streets TO the houses
where it is used. The pressure is given
to the gas by the weight of the iron hold
ers, which are always bearing down on
the gas they contain.
