A 10 year old lad named Moffat, at
Edgewood, Pa, set out the other night to
show companions how cold Pennsylvania
Railroad rails were. He did. Sticking
his tongue on rail he was at once frozen
down to it,
The day express was due from the east

while the station agent heated water,
warmed the rail, and released the lad.
Otherwise the most of Moffat's tongue

Awful Grimes Of Msn and Wife ~
Vienna.

Awful Grimes Of fsn and Wife IN
Vienna.
A series of the most fiendish and re-
Voting murders that ever occurred in
Vienna was uncovered by the confession
in court of Franz Schneider and his wife.
Rosalie. They confessed to having butch
cred eight girls, and both were convicted
and sentenced to be hanged.
The jury was out only long enough to
take the required vote. Both murderers
will die on the same day, but Mrs.
Schneider will meet her doom first.
As a part of the evidence against
Schneider, the hair and bloody clothing
of one of his victims was introduced
These CORY remnants of his crime so
overcome the brute that he confessed and
told the whole story. Later his wife con-
fessed.
For some time the police authorities
had been myStiied by the strange disap-
pearance of many servant girls They
could be traced to Schneider's door, but
no further. Then the pair was arrested
and their story embraces the following
horrible facts:
Schneider and his wife secured a new
servant. She was in their employ but q
few days when Schneider took her to a
-roams and outrageously assaulted her,
while his wife stood byuTgiag him on isSSI
his crime. After day or so of +
brutal treatment the girl was choket's7-
death and then her throat was cut. M. :
Schneider assisted her husband in this
terrible work.
The dead girls body was taken to a
piece of wood near the house, stripped of
all clothing, and buried in ravine. The
clothing was sold and what little money
the girl possessed was taken by the MUIR
derers.
After having made away with one girl
and without detection, the Schneiders
concluded that the killing of servant girls
could be made profitable business. So
they procured new girl, who was also
outraged as the first had been by Schnei-
der, and she was killed and buried.
In this same fashion eight girls were
murdered. The alarming frequency of
the disappearance of the servants was the
bait that led on the police and caused
the arrest, conviction, and sentence of
death of the cruelest and most insati-
able murderers ever in the courts of
Vienna.

Property Among Ants and Bees.

The collective system of property
must have lasted among ants and bees
for many thousands of years, for, apart
from cases of Generalization such as
may, for example, be produced among
bees by giving them a taste for drunk
enness, these intelligent insects show
the most absolute Difference and devo.
tion to social property. Their primi-
tive selfshness has broadened out into
a collective or patriotic egoism. But
these very social species, with their
more than Christian charity, have not
reached this high degree of civilization
at one bound. In the ant and bee
worlds, as in our own, there are say.
ages. There are still at the present
time certain species of ants ignorant of
the division of labor carried so far
among their civilized congeners.-

Fire In Australia,


In wet weather it is usual for the
Australian aborigine to carry in the
hand, beneath the kangaroo skin, a
piece of smoldering wood, which com
pensates the bearer in some sort for the
want of flannel waistcoat, and en-
ables him to light a fire at a moments
notice.
One of our men had also plan on
cold nights of lying down, rolled up in
his furs, upon the ashes of raked out
fire. He explained to my husband that
the advantage of thus going to bed was
twofold, being no less good for warmth
than for concealment, especially when
passing the night in a strange place,
where the keeping up of fire after dark
might attract the notice of unfriendly
natives.
Each tribe possesses a territory of its
own, and each family of the tribe has
its own especial tract of land within
that territory. Here man can light
his fire and build his hut without fear
of molestation. 1t is in fact his pater-
nal estate, SO that the word 'fire" con-
veys to an Australian the same mean.

word "hearth" conveys to European,

FADED PICTURES.

Only two patient eyes to stare
Out of the canvas; all the rest,
The warm green gown, the small hand
pressed
Light in the lap, the heapy hair,
That must have made the sweet, low brow
So earnest, centuries ago,
When some one saw 1t change and glow
All faded. Just the eyes burn now.
/ daresay people pass and pass
Before the blistered little frame,
And dingy work, without name,
Shut in behind its bit of glass;
But I-well, I left Raphael
Just to come drink these eyes Of hers,
To think away the stains and blurs,
And make all whole again and well.
Only for tears the head will bow,
Because there on my hearts last wall,
Not one tint left to tell it all,
A picture keeps its eyes somehow.

LAWYERS DUMFoUNDED.
Judge Van Erunt Peremptorily
StonS a Case

Judge Van Erunt Peremptorily
Stops a Case.
New YORK, March 4.-There was
bit of exciting action in the jury hear
ing as to E. M. Fields sanity this even
ing. The case was proceeding along
towards the end of the seventh day and
witness was swearing that he
thought Field was shamming insanity.
The time had grown to be Ills o'clock
this evening, and Mr.. Cochran was
cross-examning DR.. Mcdonald, when
the voice of Judge Van Brunt suddenly
interrupted the proceedings thus:
when this trial was begun the counsel
promised me that it would consume but
five days time. l have already sat here
eight days. and the prospects of finish
ing it this week are meagre indeed.
Gentlemen of the jury" he added as
he arose to his feet and faced the twelve
men in the box, s'you are discharged"
For moment all WAS confusion. Mr..
Cochran. District Attorney Nicoll and
his assistant. MIR. Weeks, stood staring
stupidity at the judge, who with much
deliberation was putting on his
overcoat. The jury, too, seemed
too much surprised to do aught but sit
Still and look dumbfounded. Then Mr..
Cochran went over to Mr.. NlcolI and
simply remarked: "Well, I'll be
ID" $50 will l." replied the dis
trict attorney.
The judge in the meantime left the
court, but was intercepted by both
counsel, who, by many promises. in
duced him to return, which he did only
to adjourn the court until to-
morrow. Field during all this
time lay stretched back in
his char unmoved by the excitement.
Judge Van Brunts action is almost I'M
precedented. His abrupt action is ac-
counted for by the fact that the case
was to have been concluded in five
days in order to give the judge an
opportunity to write out some
decisions which he will have to hand
down to the general term of the SUI
preme court over which he will preside
next Monday. Instead of finishing in
five days they had consumed seven days
and the judge has had to sit up
nights preparing for his general term
work. The case will probably be con-
cluded tomorrow. In the days
examination John Goheen was
a witness. He stated that the
firm had sunk $4,000 in Cuban
sugar plantations. He considered all
the other investments of the firm good.
John Chelme, clerk of the detunct
firm, testified that Field was a very
heavy drinker. but lie always consid
cred him rational.
