Two Young Ladies' VINO VIII EaCn In
herit Three Million Dollars.
Michigan comes outahead in the mill
ion-dollar girls it loans to the capital
this season. There will be five of
them, and the man who sits in Senator
McMillan's dove-colored parlor can call
himself blessed, for four maids who
will count their millions will tai to
him.
First of all comes Miss Amy, the only
daughter of the house. Slight, fair and
modest, yet she can vie with Miss
Letter as the heiress OF Washington;
IS, 900, 900, if cent, is what she will one
day inherit, and possibly half again as
much, as Detroiters vouch for it that
Senator McMillan's fortune is steadily
increasing. Lumber, car wheels and
iron mines are the backbone os this
lump of money which Miss amy Nc
MILAN will one day share with her
three brothers and the little child of
her only sister who died last year.
In spite of her wealth, Miss Mcmillan
Is modest and unassuming and enjoyed
her first ball the other night as much as
the poorest and prettiest girl present.
She is pretty, too, and fortune-hunters
claim that they pay her the homage Of
forgetting her fortune when they dance
with her.
She is sensible withal, and knows
thing or two about money. Though
only nineteen, for two years her father
has given her control of some corpulent
bank stock. the interest of which makes
up her yearly allowance She has every
thing she wants Think of it. but il is
literally true, but her father insists that
she shall know the cooperative values of
thimble and diamond ring. Although
she has boxes Of jewels, she will wear
none of them, and at her first ball she
had not even diamond ''sticker" pin
tucked away in her corsage.
The second of Michigan's heiresses
who are giving Washington fortune
hunters a chance is Miss Alice McMil-
Ian, daughter Of the second Of the
wealthy Mcmillan brothers She is of
an age with her cousin and has quite a
neat fortune. The two of them repre-

FRANCES ARMY SCANDAL.
Great Sensation Caused by Novel Writ
ten by an Under Officer.

Great Sensation Caused by n Novel Writ
ten by an Under Officer.
A French under officer named Des-
caves has recently published novel
entitled Lies Sous-offs," which is Great
ing great stir in military circles on
both sides of the Vosges. The novel is
intended to illustrate the moral corrup-
tion which has honeycombed the corps
of under officers in the French army,
and which in time of war would threaten
the collapse of the French cause. From
the first to the last chapter of his
book Deserves describes the body of
French under officers as lot of de-
bauched, INSCRIPTIONS, thieving liber-
tines, who associate only with the most
abandoned women, and often enough
are supported by their mistresses. Their
excuses, which go far beyond their
financial means, are as rule paid for
with money obtained by theft, black
mail or open int. lidation from the rank
and file. Not a holiday passes, Des-
caves says, without its quota of fights
and riots among the under officers in the
most disreputable streets and houses in
the large French cities. Altogether,
Deserves regards his comrades in arms
as entirely given over to immortality.
About the same position was taken
not long ago by the French Bishops
when they were opposing the proposal
to enlist in the service young theolog-
zeal students. The Bishops were, Of
course, permitted to speak unchecked
their opinions of army morals. Des-
caves is not SO lucky. The military
authorities have degraded him from his
military rank, and q civil suit has been
brought against him for insulting the
whole French army.
The Descaves book itself, however, is
not considered half so significant by per-
sons outside of France as the manner in
which it has been received by the French
press. Many of the most reputable
French periodicals have criticised the
book favorably and have expressed
agreement with all its allegations.
This work of Deserves" says the Ma
tional Zeitung in Berlin, land the tone
of the numberless reviews of it, give
evidence of the prevalence of military
reaction in France. The French have
carried to extremes the German policy
of universal army service. y The
expectation of the war Of revenge in the
near future led the people to assume
burdens which were all but unbearable.
The further this war yanishes in the
perspective the more impatient become
the people of their huge military con-
tributions. The work of Deserves is
but one symptom of the reaction."--N.

ANIMAL AILMENTS.

Torn wounds are more dangerous, as
a rule, for they heal slower and by the
process of suppuration, while cut
wounds, if soon and properly drawn to-
gether. heal quickly. These come from
carelessly-exposed nails, hooks, pins,
kicks, sharp horns and many other
causes. They should be cleansed with
warm water and dressed with several
folds OF cotton cloth dipped in pretty
warm water. All sick animals, as well
as those injured, should be kept quiet
in dark stall. Animals accustomed to
be tied keep more quiet when tied up
short and high, thus preventing lying
down, which of itself may be very in
furious.
CUTS are dangerous in proportion TO
the extent and the vital parts injured.
Cleanse with warm water and bandage.
II che bleeding is severe, pressure by a
tirmly-tolded piece Of cotton cloth should
be applied and tightly bound up. III
the blood flows out evenly, 1t is from a
vein, and the pressure should be great
est toward the extremity, for the We
nous blood flows toward the heart But
If the blood flows with throb or beat,
it comes from an artery, and is more
dangerous, and the pressure must be
stronger, from harder substance, and
made firmest nearer the body. AS a
rule, if you do not know the extent of
the injury or the severity OF the attack

HOW FORTUNE CAME.
Several True Stories OF What may

Several True Stories OF What may be
Called Extraordinary windfalls.
A few years age pleasant, genial old
gentleman called at one OF the city banks
and requested an introduction to one OF
the junior clerks. The clerk, who hsd
noticed the stranger and seen him enter
the managers room, was startled by q
summons to go inside. Once inside the
managers room the clerk found himself
face to face with the stranger. The WISH
tor immediately broke the ice by saying
he had the pleasure to announce that by
the death of an uncle, and in conse-
quence of the death of several other rel
atives, this young gentleman was heir
to a baronetcy. Hardly believing his
ears, the clerk summoned up enough
presence of mind to ask If it was an
empty title. The visitor Immediately and
blandly informed him that his income
was at least 100000 year, with ESQ, 900
at bank upon current account. 1t has
since been ascertained that the income
is not less than SIC, 900 year. The
owner of a very valuable pair of trousers
was lately advertised for in the French
papers by the honest finder of the same,
who allowed the individual to whom
they belonged fifteen days in which to
come forward. After this delay he stat

and about TO be married, would be very

closer inspection, however, he discover
ed his mistake, and picked up the
garment then in his possession. He
took the trousers with him on board a
boat which he owned, and on passing
them in review noticed that the buttons
seemed differe &c from ordinary ones
Prompted by curiosity, he undid the
cloth that covered them, and found, in
stead of wooden molds, gold pieces.
Carrying his investigations further, he
came across some bank notes stitched
into the waistband with other papers OF
value. Stories of extraordinary wind
falls are so frequently due to an effort
of the Imagination that we may be ex.
cused for receiving them with consid.
cradle amount of reserve. Elizabeth
Scott was found by the police in 1875
lying on the floor of her back kitchen.
She had been dead, apparently, for about
q week, portions of her hands having
been eaten by rats. 1t was stated that
although the deceased-who was seventy
two years of age and lived in London
was in possession of upward of s1o,oOt

For many years she had been leading a
miserly existence. 1t was stated that
she had left no will, and had only two
cousins living in Scotland.

vantages in raising a calf by hand. and
certainly just as good an animal will
develop under that system, If the man.

a calf that ran with COW. III IL were a
