do not vouch for the truth Of the tale but
. man, whose reputation for veracity is at
least reasonably good, declares that he saw
on the street IN Boston, the other dav, an
electric wire accident which was certainly
singular His attention Was attracted by the
barking OF . red Irish setter to an English
sparrow, which was perched upon an electric
light wire high above the beasts head The
animal hal evidently been amusing himself
in the fruiiless sport Of chasing the bird, aud
when it had taken refuge on high bad sndeav-
ored TO get some consolation out Of velpng
Justify. The day was windy, and the wire
swayed to aud fro, the sparrow apparently
enjoying its swing. until in . fatal moment
the tail OF the bird came in contact with an
other wire near by. Then, in the twinkhng
Of an eye, the unlucky sparrow came tufn-

aouses of tooacco, especially if you can
collect data from Germany, America,
England, Austria and Holland, where the
people smoke much more than in
France"
Andre Theniret wrote:
~ was never member of the league,
for the simple reason that l am passion
ately fond of smoking. Two years ago
your president asked me to write story
about the acute sufferirgs of the young
smoker. 1 did it. After publishing the
story I received a silver medal from your
league. That is all ever had to DO with
the enemies of tobacco"
Emile Angler replied CURLY:
81 am no doctor. All I can say is that
after smoking forty years l gave up
the soft opiate because it was IN juring me
20 the brink of the grave before my
time"
Octave Feuillett indica les the general
drift OF opinion among many other
authors, who answered the secretary's let
tiers in these words concerning his own
experience:
''I was once great smoker, and cured
myself of the use of tobacco with diff
Guilty. l was driven to the sacrifice, how
ever, by vertigo and dyspepsia, which
afflicted me as long as I smoked. I was
long unwilling to believe that nicotine
caused my illness, but I was compelled
finally to acknowledge it. According to
my experience, tobacco is very injurious
to nervous persons. 1t causes at first an
agreeable excitement, but eventually pro-
duces q general relaxation. 1t weakens
the capabilities of the mind. The effort
necessary to rally from it wearies and
consumes the will power"

planned, 4and haven't vented to tell her
too many things at once, and as I didn't
know you were coming | didn't bother
her about your room. | will send her up
tie first thing in the morning"
In the morning the new ch6mbermald
did, indeed, come the first thing, and the
gents man vas still in bed. He, however,
slipped into his dressiHg-room to remain
until the maid should do whatever vas
necessary in his chamber, aud taking a
book he sat down to read while he was
waiting. He always carried with him a
diamond ring, which had been his moth
er'e, which he sometimes wore and some
times had in his pocket. This he had
left with his watch on the stand by the
head of his bed.
He sat reading for some time, and even
after he heard the maid go out he kept
on with his book. Suddenly he heard a
slight noise in his chamber, and, folding
his dressing gown about him, he opened
the door and looked in. The chamber
was apparently empty, but mis- eye was
caught by cord which seemed to extend
from the open window toward the bed.
Gong forward to examine this he per
ceived a monkey, till then hidden from
sight by the bed, that. with his diamond
ring in his clutches, was making off. The
owner of the ring shouted and ran for
ward, when the thievish animal dropped
its prey and skurried out of the window
as fast as its skinny little legs would
carry it, and, picking up the jewel to as
ure himself that it was all right, the
gentleman reached the window in time to
see an organ-grinder making off with the
nIar
doubt that he had trained the beast to
climb into windows and TO steal any val
liable upon which it could lay hands, and
the incident may serve As warning to
those who allow organ monkeys to scram-
BILE at will over their chamber blinds and
windows.
But the impressive aspect of the story,
if one considers it, is the position In
which the chambermaid would have been
put had the owner of the ring appeared
on the scene but moment later.

omers' feet in as perfect condition as their
hands. She has a thousand different
devices for beautyfying the face, and
undertakes to ward off wrinkles by her
rubbings and emollients. She trains
eyebrows in the way they should
go, removes superfuous hair,
induces eyelashes to thicken
and lengthel, keeps the skin
smooth, fresh and fair, and declares she
can make the lips keep their bloom with
out the use of rouge. She looks after the
figure, too, having a system called the
Swedish movement by which she tightens
up hascid muscles, rounds thin throats
and lean arms, and removes any of the
disfgurements of outline that have result
ed from tight-lacing and the abnormal
tendency of flesh of any one part Of the
body. She reduces flesh and undertakes
to develop symmetry.
The principle occu patton, however, of
this person, and the one relished by her
employers, is the massage bath. The
tub is filed with warm water, quite as
hot as can be comfortably bore, and into
this is thrown bath bag consisting of q
little sack of cheese cloth, closely filed
with almond meal, powdered orris root

and milky as the contents of the bag
dissolve, and the skin is rubbed with the
bag, which makes a smoth, violet-perfum-
ed lather and leaves the flesh as soft as a
child's. The bather is rubbed dry and
rolled in a big sheet of Turkish towing,
and then every inch of the body is care
fully rubbed, kneaded and pinched with
hands moistened in violet water, which
impregnates the skIn with faint, flower
like perfume. This takes the place of
exercise in q great measure, and women
who are too indolent Or too busy to walk,
or practice in the gymnasium find this
keeps the skin in equally good condition
and is more pleasant method of setting
the blood to circulating.
Another fancy of these dainty women
is to sleep in silk. They have long
abjured any other wear for underolothes,
and now they are being shown in the
shops that cater TO all the new whims of
the sex, sets of silk sheets and pillow
cases in all colors. With these go the
beautiful East Indian blankets, woven
entirely of raw silk, and down spreads
covered with surah Or satin. These sheets
and pillow cases are hem stitched with a
crest or monogram embroidered in one
corner, some of them have delicate vine
embroidered along the edge, or a broad
band of Aranu WORK. They are all of
delicate colors and white and black.
Mrs. George Gould, who has passion for
violets, had several silken bed furnishings
of pale lilac, with wreaths of Parma
violets embroidered around them. The
Hindu blanket is deeper purple, and the
violet coiored down spread is perfumed
with sachets of violet powder.

kind large block, Is inches in diameter,
that had been knocking about in various
yards and woodsheds, was split up, and in
it was found an augor- hole three-fourths
of an inch in size, containing a bunch OF
huC'an hair done up in piece os printed
paper.
The hair was near the center of the
block and fastened in with a pine olug.
1t was apparently put in when the tree
was quite small, as the tree had grown
over the plug TO the thickness of about
four inches, with the grain perfectly
smooth and straight.
A natural curiosity was shown in q
timber merchants workshops; this was
the nest and skeleton of bird embedded
in piece of beech.
The timber seemed quite soQnd all
around the cavity and there was no sign
of any aperture into it; but the timber
being saw ed up, the nest with the bird
sitting upon it was found. The neat ap-
peared to be built of mud, and tie bird
resembled a titmouse.
Probably at the looping of branch q
cavity was found, and the outside sub
seqHantly has grown over; but how the
bird was inclosed seems difficult TO
imagine,
