A WOMAN'S VANITY.
A Mirror Makes Her Forget Whom
She Is Talking To.

Philadelphia Record.
Ii yoUwant woman to talk to you
in sensible, rational manner, be inter-
ested in what You are saying, and give
you suitable replies, do not let her sit
where she can see herself in a mirror.
1t sounds mean. but it is true, for she
will pose for all she is worth every
minute Of the time. and when you
think you have made deep impression
by some especially brilliant remark you
will look up for appreciation only to
find your listener engrOSSed in the set
of her veil, the whiteness of her hands
as the mirror flashes back the reflection
of her pretty rings. or striking some eS-
peciaIy graceful attitude with pleased
little smile at her own dainty image and
not the least idea in her curly head of
what you have been saying.
In railroad train women have been
seen never once to glance tthe passing
scenery. hut sit cOntentedly gazing into
the mirrOw opposite and arranging and
rearranging their finery throughout the
entire Journey. The window paneS,
with their background of nights black
ness, make charming looking glasses.
and the woman who gaZeS so eagerly
out as the train flies along is not trying
to catch glimpse of some sleeping farm
house, but iScarrying on silent hirta-
ton with her own image.
Let them come where they will, III
whatever form or guise, anything that
tells a woman how she looks is far more
potent than scenery or conversation,
and if you want her attention place her
back, to the mirror, but do.nOt make the
mistake of being tempted yourself and
talking at your reflection instead of her.

sonally cognizant OF two cases in which
villagers cooked and ate dogs which
had been purposely poisoned by strych-
nine to get rid of them. On one of
these occasions some one was thought
full enough to consult foreigner as to
the probable results; but as the animal
was already in the pot, the convives
could not make up their minds to forego
the luxury of feast, and no harm ap-
peared to come to their indulgence.

Lord Charles Hamilton used to go

going to Rome. he proceeded to the
station, and took his place in first

position on a seat opposite his master.

gesticulations, declared that the bull

Charles, apparently master OF the situ-

and calmly lighted cigar.
But the Italians were lot to be out
done, and quietly detaching the carriage
in which the English >''miloI" was
seated, they made up the train with
another compartment and started it off.
Lord Charles sat quietly smoking for
about quarter of an hour, and then,
surprised at. the delay, thrust his head
out of the window and demanded when
the train was going to start. His feel

told was in closet. Opening what he
supposed was the proper door, he was
nearly frightened to death by the dis

he touched secret spring which set
the objects of his terror wildly dancing,
while the expression of the skulls was
that of a CHASTITY grin. Mr.. Rhein has
since worn his hair pompadour.
Both Messrs. Blakeslee and Thomas
had several narrow escapes when they
were at work on the Psi q. hail. OH

opened door on the second floor,
thinking that it led into another room.
He was about 70 step when he dis
covered that he was standing over

found that thirty feet below was a tank
containing four feet of water. In
another part of the hall is a canvas

THE TRUE VAMPIRE.
From Beast and Man in India.


CHANGING one evening to observe a
rather large bat enter an outhouse, from
which there was 10 other egresS than
by the doorway, | was fortunate in be-
ing able to procure light and thus to
proceed to the capture OF the animal.
Upon finding itself pursued it took
three or four turns round the apartment.
when down dropped what at the mo-
ment | supposed to be its young, and
which l deposited in my handkerchief.
After somewhat tedious chase | then
secured the object of my pursuit. which
proved to be fine female megaderma.
| then looked to the other bat which L
had picked I'D. and, to my considerable
surprise. found iL to be small kind of
pipistrelle. which is exceedingly
abundant throughout India.
The Individual now referred to was
feeble from loss of blood, which it was
evident the megaderma had been suck
ing from a large and still bleeding
wound under and behind the ear, and
the very obviously suctorial form OF the
mouth of the magaderma was itself SUI
fcient to hint the strong probability of
such being the case. During the very
short time that elapsed before | entered
the clubhouse it did not appear that the
uepItudtOf udu ciCc dilShtCu, Gnu oIii
satisfied that it sucked the vital fluid
from its victim as it flew, having prob
ably seized 1t on the wing, and that it
was seeking a quiet nook where it
might devour the body at leisure.
kept both animals separate till next
morning, when, procuring convenient
cage, | first put in the megaderma. and,
after observing it for some time. put
the pipistrelle with it. No sooner was
the latter perceived than the other fast
ened upon it with the ferocity of tiger,
again Selling it behind the ear. and
made several attempts to fly off with it;
but finding it must needs stay within
the precincts of the cage, it soon hung
by the hind legs to one side of its prison,
and, after sucking its victim till no
more blood was left, commenced de-
vouring it, and soon left nothing but the
head and some portions of the limbs.

AMONG the new industries trans
ferred to this country is that of
making cotton ties. They are iron
or steel bands with which cotton
bales are held compressed. Eng
land has hitherto had practical
monopoly of their manufacture,
and one quite large town grew up
there whose inhabitants have been
dependant on the cotton tie indus
try. AS there was no manifest rea-
son in the nature Of things why
this country, the greatest iron and
steel producer, as well as the great
est cotton grower, in the world,
should depend upon mills three
thousand miles away for its cotton
ties, the Mckinley tariff changed
the duty on them from 35 per cent.
ad valorem TO i 3-1O cents pound,
constituting o material increase.
Results. American mile began
making them, and the imports of
32,014,414 pounds Of ''hoops or ties
for baling purposes" etc, during
the first nine months Of 1890 fell
to nothing for the corresponding
months of this year, and instead of
over 100000 pounds of "hoop,
band or scroll iron or steel" for
nine months of last year, we i'm
ported less than one million this
year. So that Yankee ties now tie

practically no increase of cost to

IT is now reported, but not in an
authentic form, that the Bank of
France will lend Russia G24, 000,-
600 in silver, at 81 per cent. to be
repaid, dollar for dollar, in gold at
the end of seven years. 1t would
be a fair investment for the bank,
even if it should assist in bringing
silver to a parity with gold, at eth
er the Latin Union or American
ratio. Should no such result fol-
low, the Bank of France would
stand to make about 100000
profit besides its interest. It is
hardly possible that such an opera
ton should not have u decided eff
fct upon the value of silver, provid
ed Russia can retain her new silver
coinage. 1t has been reported that
she would use the silver money as

improve nonts as you consistently
can. Ifyou are not wealthy nobody
will expect you to erect a palatial
mansion, or individually to start a
large mandatory, but you can do
something. You can be friendly to
everyone, even the stranger within
the gates. You can sustain propo-
sitions for public Improvements
even if they do not personally ben
eft you at the time. You can clear
your lots, build fences, etc. If pos
sible employ somebody to do some
thing, if it is only to do a job of
whitewashing, and if you can't help
otherwise, you can cheer those men
who come TO the front with public

EVERY intelligent American will
approve of President Harrison's
recommendations in regard to the
Nicaragua Canal. The canal is not
only a commercial, but military
necessity to the United States. The
strategic value of the canal would
be equal to q dozen war ships or
twice as many forts. 1t would en-
able us to protect both our coasts
with a navy of moderate size. In
a commercial way it would give
every coast port on the Pacific the
advantage of cheaper freights. AL
though Greed Raymond, the c. P.
lobbyist, is trying to create feel
ing against the Canal in Chicago,
st. Louis and other western cities,
by showing how, if the Canal is
built, New York will get all the
Pacific Coast trade, his scheme is
SO thoroughly understood that his
utterances will have but little effect.
With q good line of whale back
barges on this new water route the
Southern Pacific octopus would
find many Of its feeders clipped
How this State would be benefited
is not quite apparent; but she can
net be injured in the least by a
competing freight line to this coast
Congress should guarantee bonds
to be issued to secure the money to
build this canal. 1t is United
States enterprise, and the United
States government should back it
