Statistics Of sleep may not prove

Rare Courage and Presence of Mind or q
French Girl.
Some years ago four men. who were
employed in cleaning common sewer
at a place called Noyon, in France,
upon opening drain were SO affected
by the fetid vapors that they were un-
able to ascend The lateness of the
hour Gt was eleven o'clock at nigh)
rendered it impossible to procure as
sistance, and the delay must have
proved fatal had not young girl, a
servant in the family, with courage and
humanity that would have done honor
to the most elevated station at the haz-
ard of her own life, attempted their de-
liverance.
This generous girl, who was only
seventeen years OF age, was at her own
request, let down several times to the
poor men by a rope. She was so for
tunate as to save two Of them pretty
easily, but in tying the third to the
cord which was let down to her for the
purpose, she found her breath failing.
and was in great danger of suffocation.
In this dreadful situation she had the
presence OF mind TO tie herself by the
hair to the rope and was thus drawn up.
almost expiring. with the poor man in
whose behalf she had so humanely ex-
erted herself.
The instant she recovered she insisted
upon being let down again, but her ex-
ertions this time failed of success, for
the third unfortunate man was drawn
up dead. The corporation Of the town
OF Noyon, as small token OF their
appreciation presented the heroine
with six hundred livres and conferred
on her the civic crown. with medal
engraved with the arms Of the town,
her name and narrative OF the action.
The DUKE OF Orleans also sent her five
hundred livres and settled two hundred
yearly on her for life. -Philade phia

How She Got q Valuable Ring at the
Price Set by HERSELF

frice set Dy herself
''See that old lady at the other end
OF the store? Well, she is one OF the
most confirmed klsptomaniacs in New
York. 1t is hardly possible that you
would believe me If | were to tell you
her name. She belongs TO one Of the
best families in Brooklyn and is well
known in this city. Every one con-
nected with this store is cognizant
OF her failing and acts accordingly.
Notwithstanding our precautions. how
ever, few months ago she managed to
deceive us in very ingenious way.
She had been here several times and
appeared to take great fancy to a
valuable diamond and ruby ring. One
day she asked my employer what its
price was and he told her that it was
the best he had in the store and was
worth $500. She laughed and offered
to give $3.50 for it, and ON this being
refused said: Well, will you let me
have it at that price If l can steal it?'
Certainly he replied, and nothing
more was thought about the matter.
Several times after that she came
here and had the proprietor take out
the tray and exhibit the ring. on each
occasion renewing her previous offer.
about two months ago the old lady
showed ring to my employer and
asked what he thought 1t was worth.
After examining the article critically
be said that it was worth about $3.50.
i have several, he continued, much
better than that which | will sell for
that price
"At this the old lady gave a cunning
little laugh. and proceeded to count
out $3.50 from her pocketbook. Some
thing in the kleptomaniac's manner
aroused his suspicious and fastening
TO the case he discovered that the $500
ring was missing. During one OF her
visits the old lady had managed to alb.
stract il from the trsy and insert in its
place one of very small value. To say
that my employer was angry when he
discovered how he had been duped but
feebly expresses his emotions. He was
furious, and when he was reminded OF
his promise to sell the ornament for
$3.50 II the lady managed to steal It, he
kept his word. but begged that the
story should not be told to any OF his
friends. Jewellers Weekly.

The advertisement for two 800 bills lost

would be justified by the result. As soon
as the MORNING NEWS business office was
opened telep one message was received
that w. L. Wilson of John Sullivan & Co.

who had advertised forit. Mr.. Wilson was
given the name Of Mr.. A. S. Delann0y as
the party who inserted the advertisement,
and the bills were returned TO him. This is
the third time that bank bills lost IN the

Christmas is the day of all the year with the
inmates of the orphan asylums. An ele
CANT Christmas dinner was served at the
/ Female Orphan Asylum, at Bull and Macon
streets. This may be called a union
| Protestant asylum, as its inmates come from
| all Protestant denomi Iations. TIE gifts
were many, and among them Mr.. james S.
| Silva presented TO each one OF the girls
| handsome goblet. The children were en-
joyiug themselves to Che utmost when a
MORNING Nkws reporter called. The
CnrIstmas tree in the school-room was one
of the most elaborate ever seen In
the institution, and the gifts were
distributed on Christmas eve. Before the
distribution of gifts the girls sang Christ
mas carols. There are forty -one inmates in
the home, ranging in age from to IA
years. The matron says this Is the smallest
number they have had for the last fourteen
years. The health OF the inmates is excel
lent, and there hasn't been a death in the
home for five years.
The children at the Episcopal Orphans
home, on liberty and Montgomery streets,
were treated to a bountifuI Christmas din
ner, and donations we're never so liberal
inside and outside of the denomination.
Catholic ladies sent contributions to the
stores. Inc children had their Christmas
tree on Christmas eve, and with their
own hands decorated the schol room,

lady directress of the home trimmed
tue Christmas tree, and its branches bent
beneath weight of useful and ornamental
presents. and fruits and CONNECTIONS. Some
Of the children received as many as twenty
one gifts. The children formed in line aud
marched into the school room, circling
around the Christmas tree, when Christmas
carols we're sung before and after the dis
tribution of gifts. There are twenty-six
children in the home ranging in age from
II months to II years. The inmates have
enjoyed good health, and there has not been
Heath in the institution during the year.
At the Home for the Friendless, at st.
Mary's Orphan Home, and at the Abra-
hams Home and the Widows Home, the
inmates were treated TO Christmas dinners,
and liberal donations were sent in from the
charitable people of the city. ALI of the
homes and asylums were generously re-
membered, and the poor Of tho churches
were looked after by the congregations.
The Oh ritable societies saw that their
benefciaries were well remembered.
