A Dcluge of Wild Duck.

An immense flock OF wild ducks
alighted along Mahoning''s creek in
this town this morning, being bewild-
cred by the heavy snow storm. says a
PunXsutawney special to the Pittsburg
Dispatch. The creek was lined with
sportsmen on each side for distance Of
three or four miles. Hundreds of ducks
were made to bite the dust. Twenty
five or thirty of the birds were caught
alive. They would alight in the deep
snow, and, being unable to arise, were
captured. One man caught fifteen in
this manner. Another fellow got fifty
two with a shotgun, and still another
slew twelve with a revolver. Nearly
every citizen of the town could be seen
this morning with three or four dead
ducks in his hands. 1t would, perhaps,
be undertaking the truth to say that
1000 ducks were killed in the vicinity
OF Punxsutawnev this morning, and at
the present time the slaughter is still
going on with unabated vigor. The
ducks are of several varieties. One
wild goose was caught alive right in the
center of the town.

Women Vino Paint,

Women of the upper aud middle
classes have far too generally adopted
the harmful and detestable practice of
imparting artificial color to their faces
and fictitious whiteness to their necks,
according to the Daily Telegraph.
Some even enamel their shoulders and
arms-at least,so we are told-animated
by feeling akin to the professional
enthusiasm of the provincial actor, who,
upon being unexpectedly cast for the
part of Othello, promptly BACKED him
self from head to foot, in order to be in
perfect keeping with the important role
assigned to him. The application to
the skin of these red and white COM
pounds, the basis of which is too fire.
quently some poisonous mineral SUBJ
stance, is q dangerous and silly usage
plainly speaking, a barbarous custom,
more honored in the breach than in the
observance. Actors and actresses,
whose faces are exposed to a strong arti-
fetal light whilst they are on the stage,
are compelled to use pigments in order to
heighten their natural color, as we'll as
to disguise their individuality, as the
saying goes, beyond recognition"
They are, however, for the most part
extremely careful not to apply anything
but vegetable preparations to those por-
tlons of their epidermis which have to
undergo superficial treatment in obedi-
ence to theatrical exigencies. Many
ladies in private life, we regret to say,
are not so particular; consequently they
ruin their compilations and impair their
health by "beautifying" themselves
with cosmetics and powders. into the
composition of which enter such dele
terious matters as lead and zinc, bismuth
and belladonna. We entertain all man
ner of objections to beauty shows, too
numerous to set down in this place; but,
if the coming display in Paris should
serve as practical protest against the
prevalent abuse of 'maquillage," we
shall unhesitatingly accord to it the ex-
preston of ''mitigated disapproval.

Shopp,np on Horseback.

The other sight, which struck me as
being far from commonplace, says q
Washington letter to the Philadelphi ia
Times, was that of four or five young
ladies shopping in their riding habits.
They were all tine-looling girls and
their habits were we'll and stylishly
made; nevertheless they were not mere
city or park riders, for the spattered
condition Of their habits showed that
they had had long ride through
muddy country. A male attendant held
the horses of all as the ladies passed
from store to store and gave their Or
ders for supplies to be sent home.
Washington is so accustomed to strange
varieties Os the genus homo that it takes
something quite striking to attract a
second glance; nevertheless the fair
girls | have mentioned drew many eyes
in their direction. How thoroughly
practical their proceeding was Every
one knows how much better one can
shop by personal inspection than in any
other way, and instead of being hamp-
cred by the drawbacks which attend
upon getting stores TO remote country
home these girls had jumped on their
horses and ridden right into Washing
toms most fashionable shopping street
to shop at headquarters. Virginia
ladies did this very thing in Martha
Washington's day, but Washington at
that time was IL struggling hamlet, not
the wonderful cream-of-cream places it

Death ofnn Old Pirate.

A messenger from the Grand Isle, in
the Gulf of Mexico, today brought
news of the death of Captain Rigio, a
resident of the island for many years,
and who is credited with having been
member OF the famous gang of pirates
who, under The command of Pierre and
Jean Laiitte, depredated the Gulf
Coast from Texas to Florada, says a
New Orleands dispatch to the Globe
Democrat. After the close of the career
of the Latittes Rigio became slave
trader, and thus amasscd considerable
amount OF money with which he .pur-
chased the major portion OF the island,
convertingit it into superb orange grove.
Rumor has always had it that large
sums OF money derived by the Laittes
from their raids were buried on the
islands which separate Barataria Bay
from the Gulf Of Mexico, and Capt. Rigio
is believed to have known tho exact
location Of the treasure. While talk
atiye upon matters in general he was
mute upon this SUBJECT, and the secret,
If no really possessed it, has died with
him.

Blinded by Hair Dye.

am told of a well-known young lady
here who is confined to her room and in
much danger of losing her eyesight
from the use of hair dye, says the Louis
vile Post. She was originally a tall,
handsome brunette, but in the past year
has undergone complete metamorpho-
sis, so far as her hair is concerned, and
until lately appeared as a most pro-
nounced blonde. 1t is as well known as
any fact can be that these dyes not only
very frequently cause the loss of sight,
hut of the mind, and cases are frequent
ly published of women having gone mad
from the use of them. Notwithstanding
this, great number of the young
women of Louisville are to-day subject
ing themselves to these terrors for no
other reason than that they are dissat-
isfied with the hair nature has given
them. And the worst of it is the custom
is rapidly increasing and there is no
telling where it will end.

NJ any of Them Eaten by Street
Gamins In Sandwiches.
Mr.. w. H. Ross, secretary to Harri-
son & Barber, horse slaughterers Of
London, told Pail Mall Gazette re-
porter the other day that they have
seven slaughter-houses in the metro
politan area, the largest being that in
the York road, Camden Town. They
slaughtered %, 900 horses year. When
horse broke limb or sustained other
irremediable injury on the street the
nearest depot. The company had fire.
quently been charged with cru
city in allowing MANNED horses
to lie about for hours before
sending men to end their suf-
ferings. The truth was they were very
particular in this respect, and If such
delays occurre d it was through no fault
of theirs. Was horse flesh much used
for food? Yes, to n considerable extent,
he should say. Their charter did not
allow OF their selling horseilesh for
food purposes, but there were such es-
adjustments in the city. He had him
self eaten horsetiesh in France, and at
the company's annual dinner it was
served to the guests, some of whom de-
clared they would not have known it
from beef, had they not been told. Fine
fat horses were slaughtered every week,
horses that were perfectly sound, ex-
cept for some accidental injury, and he
saw no reason why this flesh should not
be eaten. He had often seen street
gamins buy slice OF dried horsefesh,
place it between two bits of bread, and
eat it as a sandwich! OF course, most
of the prepared horsellesh passed under
the name OF catsmeat, but it seemed in
l. L. IL 90 nD.tlI
all.
sEvery part of the horse was put to
some use-hesh, hide, hair, hoofs and
bones. Now that land Mr.. Ross held up
a small vial of beautifully transparent
OILY was horse oil. One would scarcely
think such oil as that could be got from
the horse. Those other bottles con-
Hined oils of inferior quality, They
were used for lubricating purposes and
for soap-making. Most soaps, nova
days, contained horse grease.
Armed with cigar and an order
from the secretary of the company, our
reporter, says the Gazette, made his
way to the premises in York road. The
obliging manager said they had had
only four horses in to-day. But about
seven Thousand eight hundred were
slaughtered here annually. Most OF
animals were cab, lbus or tram horses.
The establishment turned out about
twenty tons of horseHesh every week.
They had forty-slx dead and Twenty
live horses in now. They contracted
with the various cab, bus and tram COM
panies for injured horses at thirty shil-
lings each, alive or dead. Most OF the
live horses they got in were injured in
ternally by overwork or falling. A few
were gone with congestion of the lungs.
The work of slaughtering went on day
and night, there being two gangs OF
men for that purpose. Horses were
killed at night by three "knackers. u
Fifteen horses were considered a good
nights work. The sufferings OF the
poor brutes were soon at an end. as they
were rendered insensible by blow
from a heavy axe.

word about the most famous "cow-
woman" of Texas, writes Willow City
Tex correspondent Of the New York
World. She is Mrs. Mary z. Evans,
the sister OF Buck Taylor, known
through Buffalo Bills Wild West show
rs liking OF the cowboys" She made
her appearance here twenty-four years
ago, when this was q frontier county.
AT that time the Indians were making
raids every month, killing and scalp
ing the early settlers and driving off
their stock. The Taylor children,
Bax and Buck, lost their parents at an
aunt, Mrs. Ives. Injured to the hard
ships OF frontier life she soon learned
to take care Of herself, and
and at the age of fifteen was
able to ride the worst bronco or rope
the most refractory old cow in the
country.
AT the age of sixteen Miss Mary mar
ried L. a. Evans and moved on to the
ranch of William Shelton, on Crab
Apple creek. She took charge of eighty
cows, milking thirty-fve daily, and
doing her housework at the same time.
She often had to climb the fence to save
herself from the horns of some wild
COW, but she always managed finally to
get her rope upon the animal and bring
her to terms. Buck Taylor, king of the
cowboys, has nothing to boast of above
his sister rs an expert with the rope.
She never ropes on horseback, although
she is fine rider. She is the eldest OF
the three Taylor children, is thirty-fivo
years old and scarcely looks thirty, al
though the mother Of nine children. II
the horses are out OF the way she thinks
nothing of walking five miles to this
place for any supplies she may need.
She can throw the tie mark aud brand
a yearling without help, and keeps an
eye on the stock, which leaves time to
her husband to look after the farm.
The Evans ranch and farm is about five
miles from this place, and a hearty well
come ALWAYS awaits a stranger there.

Dearer Every Day.

NeiU York World.
They say would cease to love her
When her freshness showed decay;
They were wrong, for as the river
Wears its channel more away,
Deeper grew my love, and clearer
Seemed her beauties in display.
She grew older, she grew dearer-
Dearer every day.
Had / loved her for her beauty,
Had her heart been simply clay,
Then might mine have ceased his worship;
But her truths resplendent ray
Filled my soul and drew me nearer
To the fount where sweetness lay.
Still the older, still the dearer-
Dearer every day.
Age has laid its hand upon her
Do realize itl Nay.
Her youths bloom my heart remembers
Years her faithfulness portray,
And it shall be mine to cheer her,
So her winter shall be May.
Still the older, still the dearer-
Dearer every day.
