Bruin Catches a Thief.

An organ grinder who WAS travelling
through the country accompanied by a
tame bear which he had trained to dance
afternoon, and after amusing the fam
lily with his performances obtained per
mission to stay all night. The bear was
placed in the barn for safe keeping Dur
ing the night the family were alarmed by
a terrible noise in the barn. Some one
was screaming and shouting Murder.
helpr and apparently engaged in a strug-
gle for life.
The farmer fastened to the spot, fol
lowed by the organ grinder and other in
mates of the house, and found the tame
bear with q man in his embrace, hugging
him tightly, while the poor fellow strug
gled frantically to escape.
The bear WAS muzzled and could do the
man no serious injury, though he was far
from being comfortably situated From
examination it proved to be a dishonest
butcher, who come to the barn to steal a
fine calf. In the darkness he had STUN 5led
over bruin, who had seized him and held
him fast.
The organ grinder, learning how matters
Stood called out, Hug him, Jack" and
the bear enjoying the sport continued to
squeeze him numerically, until the farmer
thought he had been sufficiently punished,
when he was released The story soon
spread abroad, and the butcher left the
town to escape the ridicule to which it sub
jected him.-London Exchange.

Savage Women.

All Investigations among savage tribes,
where women are engaged in active out-of
door lie. show that their strength and en-
durance are equal to those of men. Usual
ly the drudgery and hard work come upon
the women.
DR.. o. G. Given, physician to the Indian
school at Carlisle, says: THE men, SIS q
rule, are not as well developed physically
as the women, and are the drones Of the
Indian camp, while the women are the
working bees" The American squaws
are said to be second only to the ponies
in the size of their loads and in the dis
lance they can carry them"
DR.. Kellogg says: Among savage tribes
the women do most of the hard work. The
Mexican woman cultivates the ground,
cares for the household, cooks the meals
and makes the clothing for her lazy lord,
rears the children, and when moving day
comes trudges off with all her household
goods upon her shoulders and the younger
members of her family on top of all. Stan
ley says that the strongest and most en-
during porters he found in Africa were
women.
"In Germany the peasant woman tolls
beside her husband in laborious employ
ments, and appears to be as healthy as
though she were a man. In France found
it a common thing to see a line of men dig
ging trench for water pipe and wom-
an at the head of the line breaking
ground. "-Dress

"A FRIEND IN THE WOODS
The Widow of a Millionaire Rhode Island
Merchant Poisoned by Arsenic in
Whisky.

DENVER, Col, April 25.-One of the most
atrocious crimes ever perperated in the
West came to light this morning. Some
months ago Mrs. Josephine r. Barnaby
widow of ]. B. Barnaby, 4 millionaire
merchant of Providence, r. l. took
trip to California for her health.
Mrs. G.. S. Warrel, wife of
prominent Denver real estate dealer. ac-
companied her On their return April 9,
Mrs. Barnaby found 4 package postmarked
Boston which had arrived during her alb
sence. 1t contained small flask OF whisky,
with this inscription: With best
whisky from your friends in the
\ few days later the ladies drank of the
whisky to allay chills contracted during a
long drive. Shortly after both ladies' were
taken violently i'll and Mrs. Barnaby died
an hour afterward, and it was with the
greatest effort that the physicians sue
ceeded in saving Mrs. Warrel's life The
liquor was turned over to Professor
Seweli, of the state university VINO de-
clared that there was sufficient
arsenic in it TO kill twenty persons This
announcement created a profound sensa-
ton, and the body of the dead woman
would have been exhumed had it not al
ready been shipped 10 Providence in charge
OF DR.. Graves of that city, who was here at
- very intimate friend of Mrs.
Barnaby and his name has been promi-
pently connected with hers in several bust
ness enterprises. 1t is understood that the
dead woman's will leaves the doctor Sl50, 600
of her fortune. Whether an investigation
will be held when the body reaches Proyi-
6ence is not known here.

Historical Divisions Of Time

For convenience time is, by historians,
usually divided into three great eras-an-
cient, medieval Tor middle) and modern.
The ancient period is considered to extend
from the earliest times down to the fall of
the Roman empire in the west, in A. d.
476; the medieval from that date to the
discovery of America by Columbus, in
1892, and the modern from that time to
the present. Some historians prefer to put
the end of the medieval period at the
capture of Constantinople by the Turks,
about forty years earlier than the Colum-
bus event. The Dark Ages are often held
to be coeval with the medieval era. but
some authorities think that the term
should be applied only to the part of the
era extending from the downfall of the
empire of Charlemagne, in the Ninth cent
ury, onward.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

A Gorgeous Curtain,

The curtain at the English Opera house
is one of its sights. As it hangs closed it
looks like a magnificent pair of golden
gates. twas made by Messrs. Helbronner,
of Oxford street. 1t measures thirty-thres
feet high and is forty-eight feet wide. A
special wareroom had to be hired for it to
be made in. The base is gold colored silk,
on which has been worked an applique Of
a darker tone of the same color. The ap-
plique-a iorated adaptation of fruit and
foliage, pireapples and pomegranates, coz
ventionally treated-is of the Renaissance
period, and is from a design by the archi-
tect, ingeniously carried ont by Messrs.
Helbronner.
The applique is outlined by fine cord of
silk; a fringe with tassels decorates the foot
of the curtain. The silk is about a yard wide
and there are between five and six hun
dred yards of it, and more than thirty gross
of cord have been used in the curtain The
silk was made in Lyons and the cord and
fringe in London. The lining is of yellow
sateen. and the substance of the curtain is
obtained by layers of wadding. The valance
is also applique work in bright reds. blues,
yellows and browns, and has been carried
out by the same mbroiderers.-Pall Mall

Lack of American countr, Homes.

What American families have not yet
achieved to any great extent, and the con-
ditions Of American life seem not to en-
courage. are real country homes, from
which the jewellers shall 60 to town for
the winter, and where their principal ties
and their more serious expenditures shall
remain Until very lately the city
house has been the rich Americans real
home. When men who have retired from
business make their homes in the country;
when people who now live in town for
pleasure learn to spend three months in
town and nine in the country, instead OF
vice-versa; when state roads and electric
railroads make the country more Access
sible, and the expenditure in the country
of money made in town makes the
rural districts more interesting; when a
lifetime spent In money getting in Wall
street or 1.-THE Swamp" ceases to be con-
sidered successful" there will be less diff

that the city mans grandson may have
such share of real country life that his
grandson when it comes his turn to come
to town may have something worth fetch

Tho Virtues of Turkish Bath Brush

Everybody can't have Pompeian bath
room, nor an accomplished maid, nor a
perfumed bag containing the most exqui-
site preparation of soap to use as a wash
rag, but everybody can have a Turkish
bath brush, and that is more important
than either. The face itself is generally
greatly helped by a very gentle brushing,
using at the same time good and pure soap.
The face ought to be washed with it at
least several times a week. There are
asins so thin-not necessarily good-tbat
iuey cannot stand brushing, but don't pre-
sumo yours is one of that kind till you
know it. The chances are that it will help
it so per cent. All those ugly roughnesses
you sometimes see on girls arms and
shoulders will almost invariably disappear
by brushing. The amount and force of it
should be regulated by each person accord
ing to her own eXperience.-Herald of
