/. FRENCH TELEGRAPH STORY.

How Young Girl Outwitted the
Germans During the Franco-Ger-
man War.
In the Franco, German war Of 1870
the Uhlans played havoc with the
French telegraph wires, says the Pail
Mall Budget; On arriving at vii.
- they would ride up to the tele-
graph Office, cut off the connections,
and carry off the apparatus, or else
employ it to deceive the enemy. They
were outwitted, however, on one
occasion, and by a woman. Mile
Juilette Dodu, q girl Of 18, was di-
rector OF the telegraph station at
Pithiviers, where she lived with her
mother when the Prussians entered
the town. They took possession Of
the station and turning out the two
women confined them to their dwell
ing on a high floor. It happened that
the wire from the office, in running to
the pole on the roof, passed by the
door OF the girls room, and she con-
trived the idea OF tapping the Prus-
sian messages. She had contrived to
keep the telegraph instrument, and by
means Of a connection with the wire
was able to carry out her purpose
Important kilograms of the enemy
were thus obtained and secretly COM
municated to the subprefect of the
town, who conveyed them across the
Prussian lines to the French comman-
der.
Mile. Dodu and her mother we're
both arrested and proofs OF their
guilt were soon discovered. They were
brought before a court martial and
speedily condemned to death, but the
sentence had to be confirmed by the
commander OF the corps d'armee,
Prince Frederick Charles, who, having
spoken with Mile. Dodu on several oc-
casions, desired her to be produced.
He inquired her motive in commit
ing so grave breach OF what is called
the claws of war" The girl replied;
"Je suis Franchise Il am, a French
woman). The prince confirmed the
sentence, but happily, before it was
executed the news OF the armistice ar
rived and saved her life. In 1878
this telegraphic heroine was in charge
of the postoftice at Montreuil, near
V1nconnes, and on Aug. Is she was
decorated with the Legion of Honor
by Marshall Mcmahon, president of
the republic. .,s5

Had He Woundlt?

The Indianapolis Journal says
what every one knows to be false
that women forgive; but never can
forget. Possibly the uncharitable re-
mark may be true in certain rare
cases.
On the night OF March s, 1891, ac.
cording to the Journal, Mr. Wiclzwire
brought home package.
What have you there, my dear?"
asked his wife.
"A clock. said Mr.. WTickwire, with
perhaps a trace Of something unusual
in his tone; S a new tangled clock, that
runs a whole year with one winding.
Hereafter Ipropose to go to sleep in
peace. :
His words came true; but on the
night OF March 8, 1892, he was awak-
ened with a great start He was
dreaming at the moment. He was in
a railway wreck, and as he thought,
the broken driving-rod of the over
turned engine was slowly piercing his
vital organs. He walked, as before
said, with a start. and found his wife
arousing him with her elbow.
What s the NATTER" groaned ths
husband.

dear?''

REALISM AND ROMANCE.

A Common-Sense View Of the Cues
tion--Romance in Everyday Life.
cit is a sign OF culture in some
critical quarters nowadays to depre-
ciate Dickens and Thackeray, and ex-
alt certain contemporary writer's as
the opponents OF true realism says
Walter Blackburn Harte in the New
England Magazine. "Itis claimed that
Dickens men and women are all car
features; but has any contemporary
author created any character more
real than Sidney Carton? There can
be no question OF Thackeray' S realism.
And, anyway, why should we be asked
to appreciate by contraries? There
are some poor benighted beings who
cannot appreciate Henry James Or
William Dean Howells without abbor-
ing Don Quixote, the ARABIAN
Night and the 'Heptameron' or Bal
zac's Droll Stories OF Touraine.' If
they express admiration for Tolstoi
they feel it incumbent upon them to
depreciate Dickens and Thackeray. 1t
is not necessary in order to praise the
living to execrate the dead; or vice
versa. This lack of catholicity is alb
surd, it is a sign OF bigotry, parochial-
ism, and a fathomless ignorance.
cit is surely possible to enjoy both
romance and realism? think most
OF us do, for in everyday life it is hard
to make a distinction between them.
There are hundreds of people in al
most everybody's acquaintance who
would be as economically impossible
in a novel as the old heroes are gen
orally thought to be outside of one 1t
is hard to say where realism leaves off
and romance begins. Tragedies take
place at little tables everyday in
crowded restaurants. If our humani-
ty were not such bundle of contra
dictions, such a crazy patchwork OF
prosaic practically and romantic i'm
practically, realism itself would be
impossible. The poor realist would
have but one type, and every man
could become his own novelist by
looking into his mirror. No; the great
artist recognizes the fact that real life
has plenty OF romance, as well AS
plenty OF realism in it; and after all
one can only guess at human nature

What late befell the useless yesture flung
SO sadly earthward at the time of flight.
Eyes dazzled by sudden flood oflight
In vain for spirit ears, on which has rung
Gods perfect music, heard at last Alright.

aloud
While def flame fingers shall unravel it,
And slim wind fingers weave it into a

Always Late.

It was Archie Coles wedding day.
From boyhood he had been late at
school, late at church, late at meals,
late everywhere. "I'll wager said
his brother John. laughing, shat you
can't be first even to kiss your bride
at the wedding!" "Oh, I'll not be late
them said Archie.
Two hours later Archie stood with
the pretty maiden by the flowers in the
parlor OF her home. The guests were
seated. The minister arose.
Archie's failing and Johns predic-
diction were known to them all. New
ertheless Archie knew he should not
be late now, for his dear old mother
had made all the guests promise not
to precede him in kissing the bride.
The solemn vows were said softly,
and the fervent prayer was spoken
slowly, while robin could be heard
singing on the lawn.
Amen" said the minister.
Archie bowed to kiss his bride; but
he paused, for an instant, he smiled,
he blushed. A sunbeam stealing
through rift in the heavy curtains,
was trembling gently on the bride S
lips.
We won the bet!' cried John.
The guests laughed, and the preach
er, too, while the victorious sunbeam
danced on the hyacinths and lilies.

e'The Japanese are not only adopt

conform their physical features to the

American and German doctors who
were getting rich by Strengthening the
slant in the Japanese eye to make it
look like the beloved Caucasian's opt
ic. The Japanese, you know, show
traces OF their Monaghan origin more
plainly in the shape OF their eyelids
than in the color of their skin, and
those who can afford it are Kidding
themselves of this unmistakable evil
dence OF their despised ancestry by
submitting to a simple and compare
lively painless surgical operation,
which consists in the surgeon splitting
the outerrim ofthe eyelidsi in astraight
line for the barest infnitesimal part
OF on inch. The wound is then cover
ed with a thin piece Of chemically pre-
pared sticking plaster, the faithful
subject OF the mikado goes on about
his business as if nothing had happen
ed, and in a few days the wound is
healed and he looks on his envious
fellows through lids straight as Amer
ican's. 1t is contended by scientists
that this racial physical defect in the
Japanese eyelids will entirely disap-
pear in a few generations if each sue
ceeding generation continues to under

The experiment is OF especial value to
