A Strange Amiction.

A French journal describes the case of a woman twenty-one years of age but whose physiognomy is that of a woman fully seventy years old. The appearance of the young woman is so deceiving that her father, who is fifty years old, has frequently been asked if she were not his mother. The surface of the skin is the only part affected. The doctors describe it as decrepitude of the cutaneous system. Beyond this the young lady has nothing old appear ing about her. Her hair is blonde and of ordinary length and her memory, judgment and intelligence very good. Drs. Charcot and Souques, under whose observation the case was studied, state that the wrinl1ling of the girls skin be- gan when she was about eleven years old. Up to that time she had been a vivacious and happy child, ranking well in her studies at school. The wrinlx- ling was so rapid that her friends were unable to recognize her after a period of two weeks, unless they had seen her in the interval. Dr. Charcot states that the skin, during the early stages of the change, resembled the scales of a fish. Every possible means have been tried to improve the young lady's condition, but they have all proved unavailing.

SIBERIAN HORRORS.
The Ecsperate Condition of an American
 Sailor Prisoner

The Ecsperate Condition of an American
 Sailor Prisoner.
 Charles Wilson, mate of the sealing schooner George R. White, tells tale of suffering in Siberia. On a trip in the spring of 1890 the schooner got into Russian waters and barely escaped ar rest. Another American sealcr at the time was captured by the Russian au- thoritics, says Wilson, and the crew compelled to work in the coal mines Capt. Alexander Mclean, of the schoon. CT Eddie D. Webster, of San Francisco was arrested, but it is not known Whctl.er these men belonged to his or another vessel. Two of the crew of AmcricanS, names unknown, incurred the displcasure of the officials because of q disposition to shirl1 work. They were chained together with iron bands around their wrists and a large iron ball at the end of the chain. One man was very large and the other below tho medium height. They were kept under ground and had to dig q certain amount of coal each day or no food would be sent down to them. The supply got short and the big man ate his com paniOn's food for five days. The small man became frantic with hunger and murdered the greedy prisoner while he slept. He called to the guard at tho mouth of the shaft and told him he had killed his companion and asked to be .OOscncd from the dead man. Tho guard refused. In desperation the small man took a coal shovel and cut the dead man in two and lOOscncd the band from his waist, Neither was seen again. The SuDDOSitiOn is that the mnrdercr was killed by q guard or starved to death. The story is told by prisoner who worked in the mines where the tragedy occurred. Many arrests are re- ported of poaching sailors by the Rus sian authorities and many prisoners never leave the mines alive.

FoundllnGs Shipped About the Country

 Do you want baby? If you do it can be had to order on short notice at reduced rates from the New York foundling asylum of New York city. This institution, says the Chicago Post, and others of similar nature are doing a thriving business in Chicago, and for several years past they have unloaded anywhere from three hun drcd to five hundred unfortunate waifs per year on families in and about this city. No less than fifty of these little unfortunatcs, for the most part chil- dren of crime, were sent to this city during a recent month. One consign- ment alone consisted of thirty found- lings, and other shipments varied in numbers from two to ten. This traffic in human flesh-for such it is-has grown to such an alarming magnitude that local benevolent societies have been forced to take cognizance of it, and it is more than probable that steps will be taken to suppress it. The claim is made that the babies are sold at so much per head, and when con- signment arrives all that is necessary 0 baby that takes your fancy, pay the stipulated price, and it is yours. The percentage of the child is carefully con ccaled, as this is the safest course and prevents any future entanglements as to the right of ownership. It also throws halo of romance and mystery about the little waif, and leaves pleas urable possibility that it's mother may be member of 'the Four Hundred' or its father congressman or poodle alderman who will appear some day in the distant and misty future and shower his millions on his illegitimate child. Be this as it may, the fact re- mains that New York foundling homes and baby farms are sending hundreds of children to this city, and they are per fcctly willing to take money for them if it is offered, and in many cases they sell them openly.

Spurious ShawlH,

A good deal of indignation has been excited by q discovery recently made by the Calcutta customs of a trade in spurious Cashmere shawls. It appears tkat large quantities of shawls have been imported into India from Germany with imitation Cashmere marks on them. On arrival in Calcutta the shawls arc treated Joy some peculiar process and then sent into the interior and sold there as real Cashmere productions. Their actual cost in Calcutta is about five dollars and they fetch when sold about tlirty-1ve dollars.

Smith and his wife have every luxury that money can buy, but there is one thing lacking to their happiness. Both are fond of children, but no little voices prattle, no little feet batter in their beautiful home. "I would give fen years of my life if I could have one healthy, living child of my own," Smith often says to himself. No woman can be the mother of healthy offspring un- less she is herself in good health. if she suffers from female weakness, general debility, bearing-down pains, and functional heterogeneous, her physical condition is such that she cannot hone to have healthy children. Dr Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a sovereign and guaranteed remedy for all these aiI- ments. See guarantee printed on bottle wrapper!

THE TIN MINES OF AMERICA.
Where They Arc Located and Their Iro-
 portions of Value.

portions of Value.
 The tin bearing lodcs are for the most part on the western side of the Black Hills, among the older sclnists, and are of very different degrees of value. Some of them are of enormous thickness, exceeding one hundred feet, but the cuSsit~ritc is not equally dis tributrd in them. 1t is found in strings, and patches, and sheets, and many of the veins and large parts of others con tain none. They dip into the ground at high angles usually about seventy de- %rcrS-im this respect resembling the lodCS of Cornwall, and their working will consequently be very similar. Inn mCuSC quantities of cassiterite exist in hills. The granite veins are very nu- nCr"us, and q large proportion of them are more or less stanniferous, says a writer in the Engineering Magazine. But the percentage, as elsewhere, is very low. about cqualing the average yield of the Cornish mines at present in operation. It is not easy to give fig TrrS. but a sanGuine estimate might put forth at two per cent, and probably in order to attain this some of the poorer mineral must be excluded.
 The granite of the Temescal range in San Brrnadino county, Cal, has yielded small quantities of tin ore and few rich specimens. Tn 1861 consid- crablc exploration was made in the re- zion, and this has recently been re- ncwcd. But so far as is known the con ditions of the occurrence of the mineral do not differ from those obtained else where. Maine, Alabama, Massachu- setta, Virginia and South Carolina have at various times yielded show of cas- siteritc and always in close connection with primitive rocks.

PARIS doesn't Itend to go hungry if she has to stan another siege. The matter is being studied by special technical commi tee, under the presi- dency of Genera Delambre.- This body has been occupie" for some time with the consideration of the best means for providing the capital with enormous quantities of frozen meat, in order to avoid the necessity of introducing cattle into the besieged area, which would entail the provision of suitable supply of fodder. The committee has decieed to construct in the abattoirs at La Nillette freezing-chamber which. at a temperature of IA degrees Fahrenheit, will congeal ten tons of beef per day. This apparatus will serve as 8 model for the construction of others. In addition to this the authorities have planned a series of stOrehouses in which the temperature will remain permanently at 24 degrees Fahrenheit, and which will have capacity of 2,OOO cubic yards elch for keeping the requisite supplies of meat. In time of peace these ware houses will be utilized by civilian butchers.

Proposed Air Line Between New York

 and Chicago.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-Ex President Fin ney, of the Soo line, proposes to build an air line from Chicago to New York, and is now in this city making prelimin- ary arrangements. He outlines his plan as follows:
 "A straight line drawn from Chicago to New York city passes almost directly through Cleveland, Ohio, and straight line from Cleveland to New York is about 234 miles shorter than the distance be- tween the said cities by way of Buffalo and Albany
 'Now, with the enormous volume of business between Chicago, the greatest depot of the West, and New York, the great seaboard port of America, it seems as if saving of 234 miles in distance and of six hours in time by express trains would warrant an outlay sufficient to accomplish the construction of such 8 railway.
