How a Lady OF Wealth Captured q Bur.
Elar in Her Room.
We are reminded of an incident that

We are reminded of an incident that
came to our knowledge some years ago
which should show women that pres
ence of mind and the power of self
control have a saving power where inn
pulse and lack of courage would have
been certain destruction, says Mrs.
Henry Ward Beecher in the Consumers
Journal. We may have written this
before-wc are not sure-but it will
bear repeating many times if any will
profit by the lesson and learn to prac-
tice self-control and similar presence
of mind in circumstances half as start
ling. In this case one instant's waver-
ing or weakness would have cost Il
life.
a lady of wealth and with the rich
surroundings and costly works of art
that wealth brings was one evening
alone, with only one servant in the
house. Being in her chamber as she
laid aside articles of jewclry in their
appropriate places in her bureau. she
ehanced to raise her eyes to the mirror
opposite, and from Il light in the other
corner of the room she caught III the
mirror the reflection of u figure OF a
man curled up under a large center
table, but hidden from all sight save
what vas gained BY this reflection in
the mirror. In this way she saw one
of his hands resting on the floor. This
hand was minus two fingers, and she
knew at once that close by her vas one
of the most desperate characters whose
the terror of the surrounding country
for miles. Now, who could blame her
ii she had screamed or made a hurried
effort to reach the doorp Had she done
so it would have sealed her fate. But
forcing herself to be calm she finished
what she was doing at the bureau, then
quietly stepping to the bell rang for
the one servant i'll the house. When
the girl appeared she quietly said:
"Mary. / wish you would run over to

alone, absolutely, with this great ter

waited. That no suspicion should be
aroused she busted herself putting var

terrible must have been that waiting!

Scribner.
AS regards her stature and mould, 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, we~ll-developed busts,
(fat chested women are almost unknown
in SPAIN, and the most dainty and re-
fined hands and feet. Regarding these
feet Coulter makes the most astounding
assertion, that without any poetic ex-
aggeratiom it would be easy here in Sc
vile to find women whose feet an infant
might hold in its hands. A French
girl of z or 8 could not wear the shoes
of an Andalusian of TO-" l am glad to
attest that, if the feet of Sevillinn
small fifty Years age, they arc 80 no
longer. 1t is diseouraging to see a man
like Gautier fall into the vulgar error
of fancying that. because "a small foot
is a thing OF beauty, therefore the
smaller the foot the more beautiful IL
must be. Beauty of feet, hands,
and waists Is a matter of proportion,
not of absolute size, and too small
feet, hands and waists arc not bcnuti-
full, but ugly. We might as we'll urgue
that since a mans foot ought to be
larger than a woman's, therefore tho
larger his foot the moro he has of manly
beauty. If Andalusian women really
had feet so small that a baby might
hold them in it's 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 womed are graceful as compared
with the women of other nations, but
among them all the Andalusian are
pre-eminent in the poetry of motion,
and this is probably the reason that,

Begonias as Window Plants.

Begonias to be grown at their best
should have porous rich soil. with the
addition of a little leaf mold. be well
drained, not allowed to get pot-bound.
and have their roots kept moist. The
air should be kept moist by having n
dish of water on the stove, or radiator
if you have steam heat, or the water
pan should be kept full if you have
furnace-heat. A large coarse sponge
filed with water and laid among the
pots is a help. The Rex type Of Be
gonias are a little difficult to grow out
of the greenhouse, but if you will give
them a little extra care they will repay
YOU. They are worth it. You cannot
find any plant with more beautiful col
orings and markings. They must be
kept warm (not below so degrees at
night), but do not want the sun to
shine directly on them. They will not
thrive if dust gets on their leaves, and
do not care to have their leaves wet.
They will not thrive in dry air. The
very best place for them is in the fern
cry under glass; there they are perfect
ly at home. If you have no fernery,
the next best thing is a round glass
globe with a terra-cotta or zinc-pan.
A good sized plant will grow under a
globe twelve inches in diameter. Such
an II has lived for three years under
Il globe of this size and shows no symp-
toms of dying yet. The pan is well
drained, soil largely leaf mold. Itsets
on a small table at the back of y bay
window where it has no direct sun.
The globe is raised every morning and
the moisture wiped out. 1t needs water
but seldom. They do not like to be
turned, but let the leaves grow in one
position. One can be grown in the
open air of the sitting-room, a good
sized plant in q well drained s%ix-incl
pot. Set it in Il saucer made for an
eight-inch pot, after a brick is put in
it. Keep the brick moist all the time
by putting water in the saucer. 1t will
draw up the moisture just enough tc
keep the roots moist. The water mus,
be renewed every day SO it will moi
grow stale.-Go0d Housekeeping.

MAKING A MOUSE DRUNK.
How q Temperance Talker Illustrated a
Mcclure to Children.

How q Temperance Talker illustrated .
Lecture to Children.
It was Ali interesting and novel sight
yesterday afternoon to see Prof. John
j. Daish, In delivering a lecture on the
evil effects OF alcohol on the human
system, practically illustrated by max
ing q mouse drunk, and showing by
chemical experiments the bad results
OF intemperance, Says the Washington
Post. The lecture was delivered at the
Union chapel, on Twentieth street, near
Pennsylvania avenue, and was atten-
lively listened to by a large number of
the members OF the temperance society.
Practical illustrations of this lind have
been given in the cities of Chicago and
New York, but this is the first time
Temperance advocates have tried IT in
this city. :.
Inasmach rs Illustrations with all
liquors would consume too much time,
the speaker simply confined himself to
experiments with apple jack and cider.
The two liquors occupied several small
glasses. To prove the presence of alco-
hol in the liquors he touched a match
to the liquids and the result was the
burning Of tho alcohol. He explained
that the alchohol was not in the apple
or the sugar, but was in the fermenta-
ton Of the two.
lie then proceeded to experiment with
q live mouse and it was not long before
his mouseship became exceedingly
drunk. First he took the mouse out of
a yeast powder box and gave him a
small quantity of the apple jack. The
results were astonishing, for within a
short time the nous began to itch, and
he set about scratching his nose, k q
sadly afflicted mongrel cur.
Professor Daish explained that the
itching was caused by the alcohol in the
mouse system. The animal piled his
fore feet vigorously on his nasal organs,
but soon the rapidity of his movements
%lessened, and he began to sink into a
stupor, staggering around in the mean
time, very much as an intoxicated per-
son would do.
Finally when he thought there was no
possible chance for continuing the jag
he quietly lay down and sank into a
state of insensibility. This afforded
the lecturer an Opportunity to draw the
comparison between the effects of al
cohol on the system, and to show its
evil results.
The experiments amused the children
very much, but were new and novel to
their elders, and gave a practical turn to
the lecture which made it doubly inter
esting.
