Nature Questionable.

From the Hartford Times.
Many society women just returned from Eng
land are using powder and paint on their faces.
Cosmetics have been very little used among
the best people for the past few years, as every
one knows. Ladies were not ashamed TO be
seen with clean faces" but il would appear
that rouy and cream balm and chalky powder
are all coming back again. Ii is well known
that the charming princess of Wales employs a
professional makeup" and that her face,
neck, and shoulders are carefully done over
each day. This is the only grievance the Eng
llsh people have against their beloved prin-
cess. Perhaps our returning American prln-
cesses are under the impression that the coming
queen of England can do nothing wrong, and
So they initiate her. The appearance of the
wrinkled-up old women who were bellies forty
years ago, and who used cosmetics most freely,
should be a warning to those just beginning to
sstouch I'M"

How to Make Little Prigs.

From the Akron tOhio) Telegram.
If you wish to cultivate gossiping, med
ding, censorious spirit in your children, be
sure, when they come home from church, q
visit, or any other place you do not accompany
them, to ply them with questions concerning
what everybody wore, how everybody looked,
and what everybody said and did; and II you
find anything in all this to censure. always do
it in their hearing. You will by this course
render the spirit of curiosity--which Il 20 early
visible in children, and which, il rightly d.
rected, may be made the instrument Of enrich
ing and enlarging their minds vehicle OF
mischief, which shall serve only to marrow
them.

Jefferson is the name given by one of Lieut..
Gessford's guests at the eighth precinct station.
He had been in a bar-room at 9th and Boundary
streets and would probably have gotten into Sc
riOus trouble had not Officer Barnes arrived and
taken charge of him. Thomas had been drink
ing and went in the saloon to clear it out. He
was armed with a loaded revolver and q shoe
makers knife, but was prevented from using
either by the timely arrival of the officer. He
was taken to the Police Court and fined $50 or
ninety days on the farm.

Diphtheria Spread by Cats.

Domestic animals have often not only been
suspected but found guilty of spreading infec-
ton. In his report on the recent sustained
prevalence of diphtheria in Enfield, England,
DIR. Bruce Low, of the medical department of
the local government board, incidentally states
that during the continuance of the epidemic
cats were observed to suffer i'm considerable
numbers from illness; and in December, 1857,
and in January, 1855 there was a large NOR
tality among those animals-so much 30 that
the attention of the dust-contractor was di-
rected to il. He stated that never IN las pre-
vious experience had he seen many deaf
eats in the dust heaps. Some households. see
ing their cats al, destroyed them. Though
there were no known cases of diphtheria occur
ring in the practice of the veterinary surgeons
at Enfield, yet they saw many cases OF in
1uenza" at this time among animals. The
following is an illustration OF the possible con-
nection between diphtheria in children and in
cats: A little boy was taken i'll with what turned
out ultimately 10 be fatal diptheria. On the
first day of his illness the cat, which was in the
room at the time. licked the vomit ON the door.
In few days Cthe child meanwhile hav-
ing died) tine animal was noticed to be
Ill, and, her sufferings being so severe
and 50 similar to those of the dead boy,
the owner destroyed her. During the early
part of Its illness this cat had been let out
nights in the back yard usual A few DAYS
later the cat of neighbor. who lived few
doors farther off, was noticed TO be ILL., 1t had
also been out in the back yards at night. The
second animal, which, however. recovered. was
the pet and playfellow of four little girls. who,
grieved at the illness of their favorite. nursed
it with great care. All four girls developed
diphtheria, the mother being convinced that
they got it from the cat; and. indeed. no other
source of contact with infection could be dis
covered 1t is easy to imagine cats catching
infectious diseases like diphtheria. when we
remember how often milk and other unused
food from the sick-room is given to the cat, or
by some people thrown out in the back
yard for the benefit of their neighbors' cats il
they have none of their own. Ii is a frequent
occurrence TO see children carrying cats in their
arms, and even kissing them. 1t is obvious
that, if the cats were i'll with diphtheria, the
children, under such circumstances, would
almost inevitably contract the disease.

Rather a Heroic Course.

From the Boston POsL
heard the other day an authentic story Of
something that happened here in Boston, which
recalls an incident in one of Balsacs novels and
tends to support the old saying about truth and
fiction. 1t seems that the wife of young man
who has a little house of his own somewhere in
the outlying districts. but whose salary is very
small, fell ill, and was unable TO leave her
room for several months. The doctor as often
happens, prescribed a great many remedies,
tonics, and beverages, such as Apollinaris water
and champagne, which, being very expensive,
were far beyond the young husbands means
What could be donel He was bound that his
wife should have everything which the doctor
ordered, and his purse having been emptied. he
stole out one evening with the parlor clock
under his arm and returned with a as bill A
large easy chair was expended two days later
for few bottles of port wine, and, to cut the
story short, by the time the young woman was
able to go down stairs, the rooms on the first
floor had been stripped of their contents to pay
the grocer and the apothecary.
1t must have been bitter moment for the
poor young wife when she first saw what havoc
had been wrought in her drawing-room, and
dare say that for a few minutes at least her
good man felt that he had been too clever by
half. 1t must be acknowledged, however, that
he acted pretty wisely. Health is more inn
portant than furniture, and in time the house,
hold goods viii be replaced. The plan which
this enterprising fellow pursued was surely
better than that Of helping himself out Of his
masters cash box. and perhaps il was prefer
able to the ordinary course of running into
debt; certainly il was more original
