Eugenie as a Fiancee.

Nine. de Montijo watched the progress of
her daughters engagement to the emperor
with a certain anxiety. Writing to an in
innate friend, the Marquis de R, minis
ter Of France at Berlin, after the official
announcement had been made Of the be-
trothal, she said: 'I do not know il I
ought to be happy or to weep. How many
mothers who now envy me would not un-
derstand If they saw the tears that fill
my eyesl Eugene is to be queen Of your
country, France, and-I cannot help it-I
keep thinking that in your country queens
have little happiness. 1 cannot help it;
/ am haunted by the thought of Marie
Antoinette, and | ask myself with terror,

Mile de Montijo was faithful to her
friends. One day, when her engagement
vas still secret, she had bound herself
and two of her friends by VOW that the
first who attained to high social distinction
would help on the other two through life
Shortly after she came to her friends
house in the rue du Bac to announce that
she was about TO wear a crown. After her
marriage the empress kept her promise.

grieved by the consciousness OF being sur

IN MALE ATTIRE.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. Dec. 22.-Annie Frank,
a good-looking young woman of 20. came
here four weeks ago from Owensboro, Ky,
dressed in mans Clothes and went to St.
Joseph's hospital for treatment, giving the
name of Charlie Smith. She was sick with
chills. She was placed in a male ward and
remained there until she was discharged as
cured without betraying the secret of her
sex. A week later she turned up at the
city hospital suffering as before, and was
assigned to the male ward. Again she sue
cessfully passed herself off as man, and
after her recovery the manager employed
her to do odd jobs about the place. Today
one of the female nurses detected her and
reported her to the matron. An iuvestiga-
tion was ordered and Miss Anderson owned
up and resumed her petticoats. She says
she ran away from Owensb0ro because her
uncle, with whom she lived, was unkind
to her. She will be given employment in

The serviceable all wool plaids, striped
and checked cheviots are tasteful, and as
inexpensive as good material can be for
this purpose. A person is sometimes able
to pick up yard or so of one material
and three or four yards of another fabric
very cheap, and out of the two combine
serviceable dress, using the plaid for
sleeves, collar and yoke or V, and the plain
for the round waist or jacket bodice and
full, gathered skirt; or If plain and striped
goods are to be united, use the plain, as de-
scribed above for the plaid. Do not despair

Portable dress.
Misses are apt to outgrow their waists
and leave the skirts short, but well pre-
served. Then lengthen the skirt with a
bias band of plaid, and have basque of
the same. If extra waists are needed have
belted blouse of striped flannel. Both
children and misses are dressed now in a
simple, youthful and comfortable manner.
Mothers cannot err in keeping their dresses
plain, but they do make decided mistake
if they adopt fussy or overdressed style
for their daughters before they are young
ladies. After that time the daughters are
very apt TO select their own wearing ap-
parel. Navy and grayish blue, brown and
red shades are very fashionable for little
girls and misses.-Ladies' Home Journal.

cessfully worked three banks for s., ,000
The First National, Merchants National
and Ketchum National, each lost 81, 600 by
his manipulations. In each bank he de,
posted $3.50, saying he was tired of the
Northern National and wished to transfer
his accounts. At 2:30 he drew three checks
for 81 900 each on the Northern National

them promptly. Speer has done business
here for years and was generally trusted.
He had no money in the Northern and the
fraud was discovered at the clearing house.
Speer made no effort to escape. He is now
in Jail. He refuses to give any informa-

Believing as do IN the benefit of the
shock produced by CO d bath, have stud

that have knowledge as to who should
indulge in this luxury, and how they can
accustom themselves 10 this shock; but to
make the sweeping ass .rtion that infants
with malignant measle' should be pitched
into cold bath is, in = y opinion, not only
brutal, but cold blood ed murder. There
may be special cases II which this treat

sician in charge ought 20 be the best judge.
There is no doubt thit to those who can
take the cold plunge IL becomes a tonic,
but even for a well pt'rson who has not
properly accustomed Himself TO jumping
into cold bath in the cold weather is alb
solutely dangerous, and the health of many
has been permanently injured by so doing.
Many of our physicians know very little
on this subject, not having made a study
of it. Those practicirg at the baths OF
A1C4-ittUl anu
are thoroughly converssut with it, and the
fact that they instruct their patients to ap-
proach the cold plunge by slow degrees
ought to be sufficient proof that it is abso-
lutely criminal to advise the public to
throw their sick infants into cold bath.
Any one desiring to try the cold plunge
system should see that the temperature of
the bathroom is at least 20 degs. The bath
is best taken in the morning on rising,
with the water at a temperature of Sc degs.,
reducing it deg. daily until arriving at
temperature of 68 degs. One should not re-
main in the water but q few seconds, and
before jumping in should always wet the
head and chest. Rub briskly and dry
thoroughly on getting cut, and dress as
rapidly as possible. If glow does not take

a COIORED MESSIAH.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Dec 22-Early last
/ week number of colored men called upon
the chief of police TO ask permission Ia
| hold 'ghost dances" saying that they had
messiah who would lead them to a
promised land. The chief granted their
request and considered the matter huge
| Joke. The craze has, however, assumed
| the proportions of something more than a
/ Joke and is rapidly spreading among the
more ignorant classes of colored people
throughout the city.
Some ten or fifteen days ago a tall,
gaunt black man made his appearance in
what is known as "Hell's Half Acre" in
the packing house district, and announced
himself as the messiah sent to save the
colored race. This was Reuben Carter.
He came here from Pomeroy, Kan, where
he had long been known as Cranky
Rube." He went among the negroes and
gradually drew converts to his ideas, and
at last accumulated quite "a following
among the negroes in the west bottoms.
Carter breaches the destruction of the
whole white race, and says the calamity is
TO occur next spring He warns the blacks
TO follow him if they would escape the
general destruction. He tells them that
all who follow the whites will suffer their
fate, but those who 90 with him will be
taken TO the Promised Land" and placed
in power, and the wealth of the world will
edition of the Indian craze, and he has ey-
identity been reading what has been going
on among the red race.
He claims that "the Promised Land" is
in Oklahoma and says he will lead all the
believers there in the spring and they will
then see that he Possesses miraculous
power. He promises that cities will rise
in night for those who will follow him
and that these cities will be built by the
angels of God, who will be sent to serve
him. He enters into minute description
and it tallies exactly with the city which
the Book of Revelations tells of He says
the city will be called the New Jerusalem
and Will be built of gold and precious
stones.
The permission granted by the chief of
police has been fully taken advantage of
and the colored people in the district men
toned have been holding nightly revels
which they call religious dances. but which
are now beginning TO assume the appear
ance OF idolatrous orgies. As the dancing
continues the negroes appear to go back
to their ancient savagery and their move
ments now resemble the lncantations of
the voodoo dancers of the south. Men
and women join in the craze and the dance
becomes wilder and wilder every night,
until the chief is seriously considering the
revOking of the permits, thus stopping the
dances.
Carter has disappeared, and his follow
ers say that he is in retirement until New
Years day, when. they say, he will appear
in all his glory and show his wonderful
power by signs and miracles. The dane
ing, which has heretofore been public TO
anyone who desired to witness it, is now
done in secret, aud admission is refused to
all who do not believe in the new Messiah.
There is no doubt that the man has gained
great control over the people of his race,
and unless some measures are taken there
will be trouble with the converts.
