THE WOMAN IN BLACK.
Strange Tale Of a Midnight Spec
ter In Paris.

1t was in Paris, during the summer Of
1889, that 1 heard the little anecdote
which am about to relate.
or course l had been attracted there,
like every American who could tear
himself away from business, by the ex-
position in the French capital. What
moment would be more propitious for
the long expected trip abroad than the
time when Paris, the great cosmopolitan
city, was celebrating the anniversary of
the bloody event that shook every throne
in Europe?
Marvellous, indeed, was the scene that
surrounded me that evening. 1 had
wandered at random from the Troca-
dero, with its flashing colonades and
towers, to the central dome, with its
Wreaths Of light and transparent roof;
from the gigantic tower which q multi
tude Of lights had turned into monu-
ment of red-hot iron towering a thou
sand feet overhead, to the more dark
and picturesque colonialexhibit where,
lost among the trees, one could find
African villages, Indian temples, and
Siamese theat0rs, in which the actors
strutted around shrieking under their
masks like SO many wildcats.
At last the closing time had come; it
was eleven o'clock. A long, dense line
of policemen, starting at one end of the
grounds, pushed their way in the di-
rection of the opposite exit, sweeping
in front Of them the few remaining
Not feeling sleepy yet not caring to
follow the crowd, 1 sauntered leisurely
along by the river. Presently a soldier
overlook me, and tipping his small, red
cap asked for light ] held out my
cigar, and undertook to air what little
French 1 knew. In the conversation
that followed I heard from the young
officers lips the story of the woman in
black.

1t was about a month ago, but re-
member 1t as if it were yesterday, that
the sergeant called out to me to re-
heve the sentry outside. Being a new
recruit, and tired with the days work,
did not hear, and it was not until he
had cursed and sworn by every saint

senses sufficiently to pick up my gun
and button my coat to face the stormy
night 1t was nearly twelve o'clock
the sky was black as ink, and the rain
poured down steadily in a very un-
promising manner. A high wind, which
was blowing it in clouds Through the
streets, made the positionstili more I'M
comfortable.
After getting my instructions from
the man whose place, was to take, I
maze 1or the sentry-box, fully decided

Jnce there began to examine the po-
sition. and glanced through the small
window UP and down the street There
was not a soul to be seen; the lamp
overhead swung to and fro in the wind,
creaking dismally, and trying its best
to spread its light along the wet and
deserted thoroughfare. On each side
the old houses, with their greenish
walls, arose grim and somber in the
darkness. Away off in the distance
could be heard the confused rumble Of
the streets that are still awake at that
time Of night, but the distant sounds
only seemed to increase the silent lone
illness of the quarter that I was to watch
until daylight
Having nothing else to do, and know
ing how unlikely it was that anybody
would disturb me, filed pipe and be-
gan 70 smoke, in order to keep awake
more easily. Of course, man will
think on such occasions, and my
thoughts carried me far away to my
home in little Southern village; /
made endless comparisons between my
old life and what had to expect during
the next three years The result 1
need hardly say, was far from hsttering
for the company's mess and night duty
in stormy weather.

n 1rainy Young Brakeman.

It was only few years ago that a
green country boy applied to Division
Superintendent Hitchcock, of the
Galesburg division of the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy railroad, for
work. Mr.. Hitchcock could set him
at nothing but breaking on a freight
train, and disliked to give such work
to him because of the lads youthful
appearance and the dangers besetting
that vocation. The boy, however,
pleaded until he secured the employ
ment. On one of his first trips, If not
indeed the very first, it CHANGED that
his train met another freight train at
a station where the side track was not
long enough to accommodate either.
The conductors were discussing the
question which train should back up
to a point where they could pass,
when the green boy ventured to sug-
gest that neither should back up; that
they could pass by means of the short
side track if they worked it right. This
occasioned a good deal of laughter on
the part of the older and more ex-
perienced trainmen, but the boy in
sisted he could work the trains by each
other
''Well, how would you go about
it," asked one of the conductors, con-
fdent that the lad would soon be up a
stump The boy took up stick and
traced in the sand diagram of how
he would do it.
"By thunder" or worse, said the
conductor, II believe that will do it. !"
They tried it and it did do il. To
day every trainman in America prob
ably knows how to saw by" two long
trains on a short side track. but until
thatinexperienced country boy worked
it out of his noddle the practice on the
old 20" road had been for trains
either to avoid meeting at such points
or, when they CHANGED to meet, for
one of them to run back to a longer
side track.
That boy is in Washington today.

Process of Heating Dead Bodies.

In reply TO question OF an old sub
scriber, we would state that DR.. c. H
Harvey explained his dry process for
the treatment of dead bodies at the
International Congress of Medical
Jurisprudence In New York. In his
proposed mausoleum decomposition
Is brought about by currents of dry
air which absorb the gases and liquids
of the body. These gases are after
ward destroyed by fire, but the body
itself remains for an indefinite period
in dry and perfect preservation DR..
Harvey's paper more particularly re-
ferred to the preservation of medico
legal evidence In criminal cases by
this disposition of the dead. Such
evidence was retained by this method
Of burial, he said, moro completely
than by any other disposition of the
body. The method also avoids the
loathsome features of earth burial.
It is freer from such features than
cremation. The sepulchers are to be
constructed on massive scale, to last
for many years, and they can be
placed within the limits of populous
cities, it is said, without detriment to
health. Herald of Health.

Surprise Marriages.

Have you ever heard of marriage by
SURPRISED 1t sounds American, as if
first cousin to surprise parties" when
lot of friends arrive for a dance
totally unexpected, bringing with them
their provisions, music, etc. But it is
that, according to the laws of the
Roman Catholic church in Spain, if a
couple appear before the altar just as
the priest is giving the benediction
after mass, and claim to consider them
selves married, married they are. OF
course, it is seldom done, except in
cases of opposition against the mar
riage, as the bridal ceremony and the
wedding presents are both lost, and if
the bride would rejoice, the bridegroom
would probably lament. The great
thing, to make the marriage valid, is
to insure it being wholly by surprise.

JOAN OF ARC.
A Monument to be Erected to the Maid
of Orleans in France.

4 Monument to be Erected to the Maid
of Orleans in France.
PARIS, January 12h.-The receipts at
the Porte Saint Martin TheateT are 5000
francs night, the largest ever obtained at
that theater. In every quarter of the coun-
try plans are on foot to render signal hon.
age TO The Maid. OF these proposals the
only TWO which call for special note are
those of Osiris and NJ. Pdgis, Bishop of
Verdun The former has notified the mu-
nicipality of Nancy that he will present the
town with Emanuel Fremieteis new statue
of Joan of Arc.
Further details are now forthcoming OF
the Bishop of Verdun's scheme to erect a
colossal monument to the Maid on the
summit of the hill at Vaucouleurs, form
Coury, where Joan was dubbed a knight.
The Bishop explains why he has selected
Yaucoulears as site for this national
monument. He says:
"Vaucouleurs is place of souvenirs. 1t
is also on the frontier, and no one knows
what may happen on the frontier to NOR
row. The place is more fitting, especially
at the present time, Tor the erection OF
this monument, than that where Jeanne
took up her sword and marched against
the enemies of France This statue on the
frontier would be symbol Of peace, but
at the hour of greatest peril it would also
be an insuperable barrier. 1t would pro-
tect France by its victorious glaive."
Joseph Fabre an ex-Deputy, differs
from Monsignor Pagis in his views as tc
the selection of site for the monument
He proposes the Castle Abbey OF Mount
Saint Michael. Why not, he asks, conse-
! crate TO Joan of Arc this marvel built or
the summit of a crag, which looks toward
and defies England?
