Queer Babies In Africa.


Was there ever q little girl who did
not love dolls IT would seema not; for
the missionaries IN Africa have found
that the little girls there make imitation
babies, clumsy, awkward, but 70 them,
lovely. Just like the little girls in
America, they prefer live dolls if they
can have them, ,;and so play with dogs,
treating them as dolls; doing just as you
do, and; yet 80 differently When you.
play with your kitten or, dog and call it
your baby, you putfan apron sor q towel
on it for 8 dress, and holdit ins your lap.

in Africa ties her: little dog, OF pig up,
and then ties ition her back, and has a

real mothers do with real babies. Little
girls, no matter where they: live, think,

Harrison IS peeyish and

President Harrison is peevish and
fretful, and if all the stories told here
are true he has said some tart things to
the politicians who have been thronging
the White House. He isn't man of ro-
bust health like Mr.. Cleveland. The
present Executive is thin and looks
careworn. Many people do not think
he can stand the strain to the end of his
term if he is not more careful of his
health. Cleveland is fat and ponderous,
but he is q stolid, stubborn man that
neithsr hard work nor strife can effect.
He was able to stand the strain that was
put upon him, and left the White House

Assisted in Hanging Himself,
From TIE Philadelphid Press.

rum ttc LNtttUtASt ilstL 4 IcSo
In a handsome mansion situated IN a
lonely part Of England, a few years ago,
lived a maiden lady Of considerable wealth,
One morning she was discovered foglly
murdered. Her man servant, named Lee,
was suspected, arrested and convicted on
circumstantial evidence, and sentenced TO
be hanged. So conclusive seemed the evil
dence against the prisoner that no
attempt whatever was made on the part Of
the public to induce the Home Secretary ( o
exercise executive clemency The day of
the execution having arrived, THE prisoner
was led forth to suffer tEe extreme penalty.
The rope 70 be used, the texture of whicn
was silk and hemp, had been, as is Gus ON
ary in such cases, tested with the aid of
sand bags, and was not found wanting.
The bolt was drawn aud the prisoner was
given a drop Of eight feet. The rope broke
The prisoner walked, unaided, up tne steps
leading to the scaffold, and after the rope
had been fixed again and the moose ad-
justed the bolt was drawn for the second
time. The rope broke again.
Lee was by this time considerably stunned.
However, after the lapse Of few moments
he again ascelded, unaided, the steps, and
after doing all in his power to allay the
nervousness of the hangman, assisted the
latter in once more fixing the rope. The
prisoner placed himself on the trap door,
dropped once more out Of view. The rope
parted for the third time. After considera-
BILE delay Lee once more placed himself in
the executioner's hands, but that parsonage
and the OF er officials, Mortified at what
seemed divine interposition, refused TO
proceed further with the business. The
facts were reported to the home secretary,
who at once respited the prisoner, condemn
g him TO imprisonment for life.
Three years later a w ma who was Lees
fellow servant confessed on her dying bed
that it was she who killed her mistress. Sne
declared that Lee had 70 connection what
ever with tine affair and stated facts strong
ly 1onfrmatory of her confession.
Instances may possibly have occurred in
which an equal amount of physical courage
has been displayed, but outside Of the pale
OF fiction there cannot be cited a single
case in which bravery ever play d a more
conspicuous p4rt than in the incident above
detailad

MRS. FoLsOM's MARRIAGE.
The Clever Manner in Which She Kept
1t Secret-Mr. Perrine's Long Wait

The Clever Manner in Which She Kept
1t Secret-Mr Perrines Long Wait.
NeD York Letter in Brooklyn Eagle.
The skill with which Mrs. Folsom eluded
the omniscient newpaper reporter and kept
the public entirely in ignorance of her in
tentlons until they were accomplished,
shows that this sort OF ability for attending
to their own business and preventing
others from helping them in the task
is one of family talents, for Mrs Cleveland
herself did almost well wnen she made
up her mind to marry so prominent a per-
son as the President Of the United States.
Very few of even the most intimate friends
Of the family had any idea of what
was about to happen and the mar
riage was a great surprise to them;
but the verdict everywhere seems to
be that it was a wise AID natural taing 10
do. Though Mrs Folsom was a Welc me
CUES. in her sOn-in-laW's household, the fact
Of her daughters maria e necessarily rem
dered her somewhat lonely, since she ha
no definite home Of her own and must de-
pend upon them for all her domesticity.
No matter how welcome a mother may be
in her daughters home there are necessarily
times when she must feel herself somewhat
de trop, and under no circumstances is it
satisfactory to spend ones Life merely as
guest. Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland, in spite of
their attachment TO Mrs. Folsom and their
reluctance to give her up, appreciated this
very natural feeling on her part, and made
no objection whatever to her decision.
Mr.. Perrine Is amply able to provide a
home for her, and his children were not
only willing but anxious for the match,
having known and loved Mrs. Folsom all
their lives. They express much gratitude
for her willingness to make their fathers
declining years su happy ones. He had
been her lover for several years, but before
Mrs Cleveland'S marriage she would listen
to no such suggestion, nor, indeed, as long
as her daughter was in the white house and
needed her aid and counsel, which were IF
more assistance to Mrs. Cleveland III her
fficult task than the world realized.
Now t at her daughter has appar-
entity settled down for life in New
York ard purchased a home of her
own, all apparent necessity for her mothers
residence with her has passed, and very
naturally the elder lady began to turn
favorable eyes upon the suggestion that she
should make a place for herself in life so
that her old age should not be lacking in
dignity and comfort. Mrs. Folsom is still
a very attractive looking woman of ~
years of age, with we'll proportion ed
figure, slender and erect, pretty hands and
feet, and clear, smooth skin, somewhat :
colorless like that of her daughter. and has
pretty eyes md teeth; her hair is quite av
and a somewhat al manner of arrang-
ing it, as well as a oice of grave colors
and fashion in dress, has made her appear
much older tina she really IS
