THE fattest young woman in France has just been buried. She was 19 years old and weighed 40 pounds, but there is a child Tn. England who bids fair to beat this record. He is vouched for by the Lancet, the leading medical newspaper, and may therefore be accepted without reservations, mental or otherwise. He lives, and lives well, at West Camel, m Somersetshire, and is 5t years old. The following are his interesting dimensions: Height feet, weight IF pounds, cir conference of abdomen 423 inches, waist 37i, chest 37, neck If, head 22i thigh 2S, calf 15f, arm 11s, forearm 1Oi. The Lancet somewhat unnecessarily adds that he eats all day long if he can get food. He is very healthy and fairly intelligent. He is not for sale, lease, or hire.

strange sounds Made Fly Light.


 Recently wonderful discovery has been made. A beam of sunlight is made to pass through a prism SO as to produce what Is called the solar spec- trum or rainbow. The disc is turned and the colored light of the rainbow is made to break through 1t. Now, place the ear to the vessel containing the silk, wool or other material. As the colored lights of the spectrum fall upon 1t sounds will be given by different parts of the spectrum and there will be silence in other parts. For instance, if the vessel contains red worsted and the green light flashes upon it loud sounds will be given. Only feeble sounds will be heard when the red and blue parts of the rainbow fall upon the vessel and other colors make no sound at all. Green silk gives sound best in red light. | Every kind of material gives more or less sound in different colors and utters no sound in others. The discovery is a strange one, and it is thought more wonderful things will come from it, Court Journal

 Wife aud sets Her on Fire.
 COLUMBIA, s. O., July 21.-One of the most horrible crimes on record is re- ported from Colleton County. The crime was committed on Mary's Island, an unfrequented spot in the county mentioned.
 Paddy Grant lived there with his wife, Phoebe, and another woman sup posed to be on intimate terms with Grant, frequently visited his wife. Grant informed the relations of his wife that she had been severely hurt by the explosion of kerosene lamp and was in bad condition. The rela- tives found her burned from her knees up in front only, terribly charred and speechless. She died when an attempt was made to remove her. No traces of oil could be foundS on the floor or no traces of burning hollow the knees of the woman.
 These andl contradictory statements caused the arrest of Grant, but he es. capped from his guards. Having been run to earth again he requested per. mission to return to his room for a short while. Almost immediately the report of 6 gun was heard and it was found that he had placed the muzzle oi his musket against his stomach and ex. ploded it, blowing hole clear through himself. It is thought kerosene wat poured over his wife by himself and the other woman and that she was they set on fire

Fireman RoMdbOuse Charged With Kill
 ing Engineer Vandevander.
 PITTsBURG, Pa., July 21.-A special from Van Wirt, Ohio, reports the ar rest of Fireman Sam Roadhouse on suspicion of having murdered Engineer Vandevander, while both men wers running an engine on the Cincinnati, Jackson X Watkins Railroad.
 Roadhouse himself was taken from the cab probably fatally wounded.
 The theory of the detectives is that the two men, who had been quarreling for several days, engaged in fight, with the result heretofore published. Roadhouse, however, insists that he is innocent, and that he and Vandevander were assaulted by an unknown man.
 An ex-convict named Blair, who had been sent to the penitentiary on Van devander's testimony, and who had sworn to kill the latter, is being searched for. A man answering Blair's description was on the train at the time of the tragedy.

Nor since the great blizzard in 1888 has there happened in New York a casualty that affects the interests of so many persons as the burning of the Western Union Telegraph building, on Friday. Not only does the metropolis suffer in all the details of it's vast and varied business system, but the country at large is put to inconvenience, for the building that is now partly in ruins was the center and heart of that mighty cob web of wires which has been spread over the continent by the Western Union Telegraph company.

MR LABoUCHERR, even among his radi- call colleagues in England, is probable the greatest master of what the late Horace Greedy used to call vigorous Anglo-Saxon," in public life at present; and he states his opinion of the tory unionist combination in terms which there is no chance of mistaking. Ad- dressing public meeting at Whitwick, on July 1st, he said the coercion gov ernment had introduced the land pur- chase bill in the interest of the Irish landlords, the tithes bill in the interests of the English and Welch clergy, and the licensing bill in the interest of the brewers, and they had abandoned them all at the first onset. He characterised the tories in the house of commons as the most miserable set of men he ever saw. There was no absurdity that Lord Salisbury could commit that they would not praise; and he could have no respect for gang of office-holders who were tyrants in:power, ,and ick-spittls spauiels when out of power. If an Irish agitator had used language half as strong as that towards the powers that be, the whole tory press would shriek to the ''remov- ables" to. send him to the plank-bed and hard labor. But Labouchere knows the cowardly nature of the men he lashes so unmercifully; and he feels for them the full measuse of contempt his words ex- press

ABOUT HANDKERcHlEFs.
A Collection Illustrating the Development
 ofManners In Society.

ofManners In Society.
 There was recently exhibited in Paris preparatory to sale by auction, a col- lection of pocket-handkerchiefs which had occupied it's owner many years in the getting together.
 Handkerchiefs appear at the first glance to be singular and unprofitable objec $ for a collectors fancy, but the collection exhibited at Paris seemed to prove that they could be made to tell an interesting story, Illustrating the development of manners in modern so- ciety.
 The most ancient handkerchief in this collection was merely a bit of silk tis- sue, used many centuries ago by priests at the altar. For centuries, indeed, priests were the only persons in the European world who used handkerchiefs at all, and they used them only at l the altar, and there only for the sake of propriety.
 This handkerchief of the altar was called JdcidL It was carried by the priest in his girdle, and left with the vestments of worship when the service | was done.
 Presently the grand ladies of the court began to provide themselves with similar squares of silk. The next step was to embroider the edges of these squares. And soon their convenience recommended them so highly that gem tlemen connected with the various Eu' ropean courts in some measure adopted their use.
 As handkerchiefs were still carried only by the rich and noble, it became the fashion to decorate them with armorial bearings and crests.
 Throughout the most elegant periods of the "age of chivalry," handkerchiefs, or any substitute for them other than such as nature provided, were utterly unknown. Elaborate books of etiquette and treatises upon manners were writ ten long before either handkerchiefs or table-forks were thought of. An early book on manners, written for lords and ladies of the court, advises the employment of the left hand in the service which the handkerchief now l performs, because the right hand is most frequently employed in taking food from the dish. Only vulgar per sous," we are told by this treatise, use the right hand in this service! Embroidered handkerchiefs had come into use in Shakespeare's time, as is l pAONVu bJ bhS llAl pOl IAhS pshh " hANA DSS' demona's handkerchi ef-or napkin, ' as it is called-plays in the tragedy ot "Othello." But as yet the possessors ot handkerchiefs were lords and ladies, Even in the seventeenth century the common people knew no such luxury.
 One of the most curious notes about the early use of the handkerchief ir polite society is the evidence we have in literature that the article was frequent ly lent, and passed from hand to hand | for use.u
 But this was in the days when soaI was unknown, and when even high born ladies of the court bathed so sel dom that the practice was hardly known. We read much of the elegance. and refinement of the old courtly days but these elegances did not include many of the common refnements tha the poorest people of the present day practice.--Youth's Companion.
