How an English Girl Wounded Herself to
Shirk Work.

How an English Girl Wounded Herself to
shlrk Work.
NJ. c., aged seventeen, a plump,
healthy-looking country girl, in service
in minister's family, was brought to
me by her mistress about the end of
March last complaining of severe prick
ing pains on the dorsal surface of the
left hand. Her mistress informed me
that the girl was not at all fond of work,
and that she had deal of trouble to get
her TO do it; that since the hand had
been bad she would do nothing but sit
down and cry. On examination of the
hand found it puffy and infamed, and
on asking if she felt the pricking sensa-
tion at any particular point, was re-
ferred to spot in the center of the
hand. On touching this with my finger
| distinctly felt something sharp and
pointed. | used a pair of dressing
forceps and extracted full-sized
sewing-needle, which had been pushed
obliquely into the flesh until the
whole of it was out of sight She could
give no account of how it got there.
Three evenings afterward she was again
brought in, and from the same place
and in the same manner | extracted an
other needle. About week after she
came again, and this time ! withdrew a
pin (Which bad been pushed in until the
head was coyored) from the same place.
A few days after she came again, with
her hand (of course previously infaned
from her treatment of it, very oedema-
tous and Of bright-blue color, which
found she had produced by liberal use
Of the blue-bag and vinegar. l felt so
disgusted with her that advised her
mistress to get rid of her at once, which
was done, and the girl returned to the
country. 1t seems hardly credible that
person of her age could be so cunning,
and would infict so much painupon her
self to avoid work. London Lancet.

looked at the sky to hide the Twinkle of
Satisfaction in his eye. ITO prove your
full Confidence in us leave the door Of
your Hen House open tonight. That
will be Proof that you no longer Re-
gard us as Thieves and Marauders."
The Peasant Agreed to this, butwhile
he left the door open he set Trap just
inside, and when he arose next morn
ing, 10! the Delegate was fast in the
jaws.

Peasant approached"

Dealings shall be with more Honest

Gently, Sir Reynard," said the Peas
ant as he tapped him on the head with

BEAUTIES OF ANpALusIA.
Women Noted for Their Small Feet and
Graceful Carriage.

Women Noted for Their Small Feet and
Graceful Carriage.
As regards her stature and mold, the
Andalusian girl is almost invariably a
petite brunette, and although not all are
plump, and many are too stout, the ma
jority have exquisitely symmetrical
tapering limbs, well-developed busts
(hat-chested women are almost unknown
in SPAIN, and the most dainty and re-
fined hands and feet. Regarding these
feet Gautier makes the most astounding
assertion that without any poetic exag-
geration it would be easy here in Seville
TO find women whose feet an infant
might hold in its hands. A French girl
of seven or eight could not wear the
shoes of an Andalusian OF twenty" /
am glad to attest that, If the feet OF
Sevillian women really were so mon
strously small fifty years ago, they are
so no longer. 1t is so discouraging to
see a man like Gautier fall into the vul-
gar error Of fancying that, because 3
small foot is thing of beauty, there.
fore the smaller the foot the more beau
tiful it must be. Beauty of feet, hands
and waists is matter Of proportion,
not OF absolute size, and too small
feet. hands and waists are not beautiful,
but ugly. We might as well argue that
since a mans foot ought to be larger
than woman's, therefore the larger his
foot the more he has of manly beauty.
If Andalusian women really had feet so
small that a baby might hold them in
its hands, they would not be able to walk
at all, or, at least, not gracefully. But
it is precisely their graceful gait and
carriage for which they are most famed
and admired. All Spanish women are
graceful as compared with the women
Of other nations, but among them all the
Andalusians are pre-eminent in the poe
try of motion, and this is probably the
reason that although regular facial
beauty is, perhaps, commoner in Madrid
than in Seville, found that you can not
pay greater compliment to girl in
Northern Spain than by asking her if
she is an Andalusian. 1t would be use-
less to seek among land animals for a
gait comparable to that Of the women OF
Seville, Cadiz, Malaga and Granada; and
when you compare it to the motion of a
swan on the water, fish in the water,
bird in the air, it is the birds and the
fishes that must feel complimented.- -

Tho History of Butter.

Butter, which is almost indispensable
nowadays, was almost unknown TO the
ancients. Herodotus is the earliest
writer to mention it. The Spartans
used butter, but as an ointment, and
Plutarch tells how the wife Of Deiotor-
GUS once received visit from a Spartan
lady whose presence was intolerable
because she was smeared with butter
The Greeks learned of butter from the
Soythians and the Germans showed the
Romans how it was made. The Romans
however did not use it for food but for
amounting their bodies. - Louisville

HOTEL EXPERIENCES.
Queer Cases of Nightmare Developed in
Washington HOstelry.


Among the many queer experiences
gained in a hotel" said the clerk of an
uptown hostelry, ''are those connected
with guests who are subject to night
mare, which is more common than many
people suppose. 1t is not uncommon
for night in large hotel to develop
several cases of this kind. In the still
ness of the early morning hours heavy
groans or shrek may be heard sound
ing along the corridor. The hall-boy
wakes up, rubs his eyes and awaits to
see what is coming, and if he is new
one at the business half expects that
murder is being committed.
I'VE had case not long ago of gen.
tleman here who, during the middle of
the night, began pounding on his door,
yelling at the same time: Let me out!
Let me out! Helpl Helpr The hall
boy rushed down to the desk, and, with
the night clerk and the porter, hurried
back to the room whence came the
sounds of distress. All was quiet. They
waited awhile, then knocked. The sub
ject OF the nightmare came to the door
feeling very much crestfallen. He ex-
planned that he had eaten too liberal
supply of deviled crabs during the
previous evening and that he had
dreamed that he was locked in one of
the immense money vaults of the Treas
ury which he had seen during his visit
to the city. His own cries for help had
caused him to wake. Such cases, mere
or less exciting, are of almost nightly
occurrence in a large hotel, and are
usually greater when the social season
is at its height. The guests who get in
toxicated are not included in this class
Of noise-malzers. They form separate
study alone, and make the night lively
very often. "- Washington Post,

THE ASS AND THE WILD HORSE.
An Ass who was at Pasture one day
was approached by Wild Horse, whose
graceful movements and perfect free
dem from the restraints of Man so filed
the Ass with Envy and Delight that he
begged the Privilege of making an Ex-
cursion in his company. The Horse
consented and the two set out together,
but they had not travelled above three
or four miles when pack OF wolves
made rush and cut the Ass off from
his companion. He cried out in Terror
for Assistance, but the Horse said as he
galloped away:

that this sort OF life has its drawbacks
as well as any other, and this is one Of
them"

Forth at Edinburgh, Scotland, has just been
opened by the Prince Of Wales with great
ceremony. Many eminent engineers and
railway directors were present An im-
menSe crowd Of spectators witnessed tho
ceremony. The day was observed n hoi-

The Forth Bridge has been styled the King
of Bridges IL IN hig enough 60 bc added 10

not only IN utility, but In its structure as nm
engineering feat the Einel Tower The cal
culatou has been made that one OF the three
cantilevers of the bridge with its connecting
girders, II set up lcngthways on end would
be very nearly the same height as the Paris
tower
The latter only contains 1900 tons of iron,
while the Forth Bridge has absorbed over
5000 tons of the finest steel that could be
procured. IL was begun I'm 1888, and has
taken about seven years Ia complete. The
bridge proper is just over "A mile In length, but
there are viaducts ON each end connecting it
with the high ground and these together add
half mile more 20 the length OF tho work
