The belle of Deadwood, S. D., is a
young and dashing girl who turned her
nineteenth birthday recently. Her name
is Margaret Sandford and she is an or
phan. Who her mother was no one
seemed to know. Her father entered a
mining camp about twelve years ago,
footsore, ragged and almost starved,
having walked across the canyons from
Nevada. The miners gave him food and
clothing and began to constitute them
selves little Margaret's bodyguard.
One night the old man was found dead
before his door, which the drifting snow
had fastened so he could not enter. The
child was asleep inside. After the fu-
neral she became a sort of wanderer, GO
ing and coming at will, and making
many valuable discoveries of ore. She
learned to use the rifle and revolver, and
became one of the crack shots of the
camp. With two exceptions she was
never molested, and there was a funeral
after each of these attacks.
A year & she struck am open bed
richer than most of those in that vicini-
ty, ana had led the miners to the spot.
This time they made a voluntary con
tract to give her one-fourth of the yield.
They kept their word, and she is now a
rich woman. She is tall, slender and
good looking, and wears long golden
haR streaming down her back. On horse
back she is u perfect backwoods picture,
with her short shirt, buckskin leggings,
brown shoes and wide brimmed hat

One of the most interesting of thu
sights of Manila is the cigarreras, or
cigar girls. About sunset any week day
you may see coming out OF u long, low
building e one of the bridges aud
vending their way by twos and threes
many hundred women, clad in the sim
pie but picturesque costume of the In
dian, of all ages from ~ to 80, most OF
them having fine eyes, hair and figure,
but homely faces. These are the cigar
girls, who work in the government OF
private factories.
The number of the cigarmakers In and
around the city is about 90, 900, Of whom
only 1900 are men. The work Is done
on wooden tables, raised less THAI a foot
from the floor of large. light and well
ventilated rooms.
Several hundreds are employelin each
room, ten on each side of tables about a
yard wide, as near together as possible,
with n narrow passage along the middle.
All squat on their heels OF sit Oh bamboo
stools about two inches high. No one
but n Tagal could maintain slch n posi-
ton for hours at a time.-Dr. Samuel
Kneelnnd in Harper's.

Nine. B%onaparte Wyse Ratazzi de Rute
has just married off her daughter, Mile.
Isabella Roma Ratazzi, to the Spanish
deputy, Senior Villanova de Ia Cuadra.
1t does not sound like a very brilliant
match for the daughter of Rataszi and
the great-granddaughter of Lucien Bona
parte, especially as the young lady is ex.
ceedingly pretty.
l never saw more superb eyes in my
life than she possesses, large and black
and brilliant, with the soft expression
and tender lnster of the orbs of a young
gazelle, writes a correspondent. But the
man who would be willing to accept LA
Ratazzi' as a mother-in-law must be a
stout hearted gentleman or else very
much in love.
She was of the most gifted women
of her day, remarkably beautiful, ex
ceedingly fascinating, n talented author
ess, n gifted amateur actress, and withal
a near relation of the Emperor Napoleon
III.
But all these qualities were neutralized
by a wild bohemianism of nature, whose
demonstrations out-H eroded Herod. She
has quieted down within the last few
years, and no wonder, for she must be
well on to 20 years of ago, and is as deaf
as q post, though she still poses as a fiirt
and a beauty.-Chicago Herald.

land, on the ground that Japan has long
been recognized as a civilized country
A previous decision in a case where the
wife was a Hottentot, and was married
after the Hottentot fashion. had upset the
union on the ground that the Hottentots
were heathens and polygamists, and did
not know what marriage, in the civilized
sense, meant.

They Could BE Reduced to "A Minimum AZ

In calling attention to fires and point
ing out some of the causes of these acct
dents, for most of them are accidental,
one cannot help wondering at the care
-lessness exhibited in the every day life
of a large portion of our population.
In former days our worthy and useful
friend, the chimney sweep, made his
regular rounds, and little was heard of
defective flues and chimneys, as is so
often the case at present. II household
ers would have their chimneys seen to
as promptly and carefully as their an
cestors had theirs, vast benefits would
g This Is of great importance.
Equally so is the proper attention to
building fires in open CRATES. All such
fireplaces, or rather the flooring around
and in front of same, should be protect
ed by iron or other metal covering. The
danger of live Goals falling from a CRATE
fire is one that should be recognized and
understood.
l neednot refer TO the use of kerosene
in kindling fires, as the papers teen with
accidents from that source. Another
fruitful origin is the habit of having
matches lying around loose where chill
dren can get at and play with them, and
allowing loose papers or kindlings near
open fires.
Leaving young children alone in the
house during the day is also productive
Of danger. This is often lone by the
poorer classes, the rooms sometimes be-
ing locked during the mothers absence.
Very MANY families use either kerosen
or gasoline for cooking purposes. These
should both be handled by daylight only,
and in the case of gasoline extreme care
is necessary, as the vapor of the latter is
highly inflammable, being q very vola-
tile fluid.
How often we hear of friends using
gasoline Of an evening for cleaning ties,
gloves and other articles, not knowing,
or, if so, not thinking, of the danger in.

AFTER reading the columns of abuse
heaped upon the Democratic members of
the lower house OF congress for their par
tisan action on the Wyoming admission
bill it is rather refreshing to read in such
4 representative Republican sheet as the
Philadelphia Press an article advising the
Republicans in the senate to go slow for
fear they may create a Democratic in
stead OF a Republican state. The Denver
Republican is wen more fraakly parti-
san when it says: Wyoming is safe for
the Republicans, aud the Republican
senators would make a dreadful blunder
if they should prevent its admission to
the Union. The Republicans ought to
take advantage Of the opportunity which
Is before them TO secure the addition of
three votes to their strength in tie cleo

1t is a significant fact that twelve OF

ance companies, which had, of course,
issued policies only to the most carefully
selected, could produce from their lists
but a single case of centenarianism. The
instances alleged of persons reaching
their l20th, or even their 11Sth year, etc.
may be set down rs without exception
not authentic. The three to five years
