why Women Are Rarely Robbed.

It is singular that more ladies are
not robbed on the public thorough
fare, for the majority of them carry
every cent they possess in their
pocket-books, which in turn are
carried in their hands. / suppose,
however, the reason thieves do not
snatch more of these money-books
is that they know we'll the chances
are they would get but little, even
if successful in evading the police,
after an assault of the kind upon a
woman. The great handsome silver
tipped Russia affairs called purses
are very attractive in themselves
but in nine out of ten cases, the in
side of them are very lonesome. "
/ heard a professional thief say
once that it was regarded as extra
hazardous in his profession to rob
a woman, either in the house or on
the street, and for two reasons
First, that a woman always screams
and second, she has seldom much
to be taken. A man, on the contrary
either gives the thief q chance to gel
away or fights, and then his watch
money or other valuables are much
easier to get at.-Louisville Post.

A Frenchman and His Turtles.

A Frenchman in Siam has recently
written to a French sporting paper
an account of his experience with
turtles as beasts of burden. He
bought two big fellows for $40
each, and harnessed them together
by means of an elaborate wire and
chain arrangement. Then he hitched
them to an 18-foot rowboat in a
neighboring harbor, got into the
boat and let the turtles 60. They
started off with rush that upset
everything in the little craft, includ-
ing the Frenchman, and made for
the open sea at the rate of speed of
a man walking fast. They paid no
attention to the reins with which
the Frenchman tried to guide them.
After four hours ofvain tugging and
pulling the Frenchman was obliged
to cut loose from them in order to
keep within sight of land. The last
he saw of his twenty-dollar turtles,
as he rowed back to land, they were
still forging ahead in their double
harness. He will repeat the expert
ment shortly in an inland lake where
the turtles cannot get away from
him. He is confident that little
training would make any big turtle
a cheap and sufficient traction
power in the water.

Head to the North.

The superstitious belief that hu-
man beings should sleep with their
heads toward the North is now be-
lieved to be based upon scientific
principle. The French Academy
of Sciences has made experiments
upon the body of a guillotined man,
which go to prove that each human
body is in itself an electric battery,
one electrode being represented by
the head and the other by the feet.
The body of the subject upon which
experiments were made was taken
immediately after death and placed
upon a pivot free to move in any
direction. After some vacillation
the head portion turned toward the
North, the piyot-board then remain
ing stationary. One of the profes-
sors turned it half way around, but
it soon regained q position with the
head piece to the North, and the
same results were repeatedly OBJ.

"Servo God and WHISTLE"

Old Uncle Winchester Wallace
was standing opposite the new GUS
tom house yesterday whistling an
old-time lively melody and watch
ing goat licking freshly pasted
illustrated theatre poster off the bill
board, says the Louisville Times.
Colonel Colin Alfriend happened
along just then and he paused to
listen to the old darkey's melody,
as with twinkle of delight in the
whistler's eyes he watched the goat
skinning the poster off the fence
with his tongue. Presently Colin
approached old Winchester, aud,
laying his heavy hand upon his
shoulder, said to him:
"Old man, I've known you for
many years, and always wondered
why it was that you was always in
a good humor and whistling. Are
you ever worried or bothered about
anything? I'd like to know the
secret of your happiness"
"Nuffin' don't nebber bodder me,
Marse Colin, an dey amt no secret
bout me bein' in er good humor all
de time. I jes go on doin' two
things"
"Well, what are they?"
"Serve God and whistle. An /

won't do de one an CANT do de

A Haunted Pitcher.

About five miles from Aiken, Sc,
on the Charleston dirt road and in
sight of the railway, is little place
that was christened Pole Cat, but
afterward changed to Montmorenci,
the French for that odorous little
animal. Many years ago a young
woman came with her pitcher to
draw q bucket Of water from we'll a
at Montmorenci, and set the vessel
in the hollow top OF stone post
that some of the railroad men had
moved there.
While drawing the water a flash
of lightning came and struck the
chain to which the well bucket was
attached, and the woman was killed
in her tracks. Her remains were
removed, but the pitcher was left
Just where the dead girl had set it.
TO this day the pitcher remains in
the same place, and SO far from be-
ing removed it is said no living
man has ever touched it save its
owners, although near the side Of
the road. But the most wonderful
thing is the superstition attached
to the pitcher. There is. an indie
scribable influence surrounding it
that prevents it's touch.
Hundreds of people have gone
with the firm determination of lift.

Who Can Read This Correctly?

The following rather curious piece
of composition was once placed on
a blackboard at a teachers insti-
tute, and a prize of a Webster's die
tionary offered to any person who
could read and pronounce every
word correctly. The book was not
carried off, however, as twelve was
the lowest number of mistakes ia
the pronunciation made:
A sacreligious son of Belial, who
suffered from bronchitis, having ex-
hausted his finances, in order to
make good his deficit, resolved to
ally himself to a comely, lenient,
and docile young lady of the Malay
or Caucasian race. He accordingly
purchased caliope and coral neck
lace of chameleon hue, and secur-
ing a suite of rooms at principal
hotel he engaged the head waiter
as a coadjutor. He then dispatched
a letter Of the most unexceptional
caligraphy extant, inviting the
young lady to a matinee. She re-
volted at the idea, refused to con-
slider herself sacrifcahle to his de-
sires, and sent a polite note of re-
fusal, on receiving which he pro-
cured a carbine and bowie knife,
said that he would not now forge
letters hymenial with the queen,
went to an isolated spot, severed
his iugular vein and discharged the
contents of the carbine into his ab-
domen. The debris was removed

depart without carrying out the
object of their visit. One night a
bully in the neighborhood, while
under the influence of whisky, made
a bet with some friends that he
would go and bring back the pitcher:
He left to do so, but soon returned
as pale as sheet and empty-hand-
ed. "Boys," he remarked, mo per-
son alive can lay hands on that
pitcher, and l wouldn't attempt it
again for the whole of Aiken coun-
ty." He refused to tell his expert
ence and said he would not talk
about it. Other parties have gone to
see it, but with the same repulsive
feelings.-Athens (Ga.) Banner.

How to Sharpen a Pencil.

"It really makes me tired to see
the average man sharpen pencil" +"
said an old newspaper man in a
stationery store to Star reporter.
"He will cut his fingers, cover them
with dirt and blacken them with
lead dust, and still will not sharpen
the pencil.
"There is but one way to sharpen
lead pencil, and that is to grasp it
firmly with the point from you and
not toward you. Take your knife
in the other hand and whittle away
as though you had lots of pencils
to waste. By following these direc-
tons and turning the pencil over
you will soon have it neatly and reg
ularly sharpened, and your fingers
will be unsoiled and you will not
need any court plaster to put on
the wounds, because you cannot
cut your finger when whiting from
them. This method is the best,
whether the knife is dull or sharp.
If the pencil is soft one there is
no sense in sharpening the lead.
Simply cut away the wood, and in
writing turn the pencil over, thus
writing with the sides of the lead.
"Another disgusting and sense
less habit is in placing the pencil
in the mouth when writing. This
is a relic of the days when the pen
ellis were as hard as flint, and be-
fore the manufacturers were able to
produce the smooth, soft pencils
that are used to-day. This contin-
ued dampening of the lead will
harden even a good graphite pencil
and make it hard and gritty. 1t is
simply a habit, and most habits
are bad ones" Washington Star.

Smallest Draft on Record.

The SIN allest draft ever issued by
the treasury department will be
drawn in the course of few days.
It is for the magnificent sum of 1
cent and is to pay for property
worth, at the lowest estimate, $4O,-
600. At the last session of Congress
the representative from Lowell sue
ceeded in having a bill passed ap-
priating 100000 for the erection
of a public building here and the
purchase of the site. Half dozen
different property-owners were anx-
ious to have the government buy
their property, as they thought it
would be a good thing for them.
The famous bunting mill, in which
Gen. B. F. Butler is such large
stockholder, owns large plot of
ground near the mill, and offered
it to the government for very low
price, thinking that if the postoffice
were built there the company's
other property would enhance in
value. Considerable property was
owned by an estate at the other end
of the town, and for the same reason
they offered land equally as desira-
BILE. The contest between the two
waged warm for time until at last
the Butler people executed mas
ter move and offered the property
to the government for 81. But the
other syndicate heard what had
been done and offered their ground
for 1 cent, and this offer the gov
ernment finally accepted, and the
draft for / cent will soon be sent to
the agent of the owners. The same
routine will have to be followed in
regard to this draft as if it were for
100000. All the papers will
have to be carefully examined by
the accounting officers in the first
instance, and there will be about
fourteen signatures on the warrant
before the draft is finally signed by
the secretary of the treasury.-Ex.

A Sad Accident.

Western Judge: "You are charged,
sir, with being the leader ofa party
that hunted down and lynched a
horse thief. The days have gone by
when citizens of this great common
wealth can take the law into their
own hands, hence your arrest. What
have you to say?'' Prominent citi-
zen: 81 amt guilty, Jedge. I'll
tell you how it was. We caught the
feller and tied his hands and feet.
Nothin' wrong about that, was
there, Jedge?" "No, that was no
doubt necessary" "Wall, Jedge,
there was storm coming up and
we couldn't spare him an umbrella
very we'll and so we stood him
under tree. That was all right,
wasn't it?" "Certainly." "Wall,
the clouds kept gatherin' an the
wind was purity high, an we didn't
want him blown away, so we tied
a rope around his neck and fastened
the other end to the limb above-not
tight, Jedge, jest so as to hold him
and we left him standin' solid on his
feet. Nothin' wrong about that, was
there?" Nothing at ALL" ''Then
l kin be excused, can't II" "But
the man was found suspended from
that tree and stone dead the next
morning" "None of us had any
thing to do with that, Jedge. You
see we left him standin' there in
good health an spirits, for we give
him all he could drink when we
said good by;;' but you see, durln'
the night the rain came up, and ]
suppose the rope got purity wet an
shrunk a couple of feet. That's
how the sad accident happened
