AN ENIGMA.
A Young Woman of Peculiar Ways Left at
the Police Station Yesterday-She
Could Not or Would Not Tell Whence
She Come, and No One Can Tel1-A
Mysterious Man Who Vanished.

| A queer object was seen in the police
station yesterday afternoon. She was a
girl. apparently is or 20 years of age,
clothed in checked gingham dress,
wearing heavy blue knit hood upon
her head, and having over her dress an
outside ulster of thin, gray cloth. She
bore folded over her clasped hands, as
one might wear muff, a gray shawl.
| AS she sat in the police station her head
was bowed low over her lap, and in this
unusual attitude she remained several
hours, neither speaking nor moving a
muscle. All efforts of the police to con-
verse with her failed. She maintained
absolute silence, an absolutely blank ex-
preston on her countenance, and even
| did not vary her attitude in response to
| inquiries as to her name and home. The
| police concluded that she was an imbe-
Gle, and inferred, moreover, from the
circumstances of her coming, that she
had been left in Portland by some peo-
| pie who wished to be rid of her support
| These circumstances were sufficiently
| mysterious. About O'clock yesterday
stout stranger came into the station
with the girl and asked if he might leave
| her there few moments while he went
| to hunt up Overseer of the Poor Baker.
Deputy Chase, who was on duty, acced-
ed to the request without noticing par
| ticularly either the girl or her conductor.
But IS time went on there began to be
curiosity in the police Office. The man
did not return, and the animate, but mo-
tionless statue. did not move. Overseer
Baker arrived, but he had seen nothing
of the man. He tried to elicit from the
girl her name and residence, but the i'm
passive face gave no sign of understand
ing, and she uttered not word. Final
ly, after she had been in the Office nearly
all the afternoon, Mr.. Baker had her
sent to the almshouse.
1t seems to be case where some town
or city authorities wish to get rid of a
burdensome pauper. 1t is suspected that
the man may have been an agent of the
State Board of Charities of Massachu-
sets, and that the girl may originally
have come from some Maine town.
Wishing to get her back to Maine, Port
land was probably selected as the most
available place for leaving the poor girl
She will be taken care of here until her
rightful residence is ascertained, if it can
be.
1t is not uncommon for the Portland
Overseers of the Poor to find poor people
left at their doors by sister cities and
towns. There is a severe penalty for
this sort of thing, however. Yet Cor
ham and Waterville have tried it recent
ly.

PORTLAND. December 1. 1892.
I<HREE weeks and
i a little bit over
to Christmas.
Quite time to be think
ing seriously about it,
quite time to be giving a
bit of careful thought to
that list of things which
must be ready the 18th.
If you've decided tn t
your distant friend shall
be remembered by some
thing Of your own max
ng, there's no time to
lose in getting the mate
rails. If you wish your
gifts to be odd, unique
and a little bit out of the
ordinary, look the stocks
over early; as you know
by the experience of
other years that the best
things always go first.
N need to take them
home now, no nee to
have them sent till you're
ready. Anything bought
here for CT ristmas may
be left in our care and
will be forwarded by mail,
express or special delivery
at any time.
Every department Of
this big store is blooming
with new things now and
all this week will see a
constant stream of fresh
arrivals, the pick of e cry
market. You are surer
now of finding the very
things you want than t
any other time and there's
less jostling.
On the whole it's wisest
to be forehanded in the
matter Of gift getting.

On DECEMBER 1sT, I84I, the

died in London.
He was a physician, the son
of a Yorkshire banker, and the
originator by his lectures to
Glasgow workingmen of the

plication of science to the prac-
teal arts. This was the germ
from which Mechanics Insti-

manual training has been the
ultimate growth.

If you are sincere in encour-

BO6uS Coffee Beans.

We have all heard of wooden
nutmegs, and latterly of bogus cof-
fee beans, but we have always at
tributed the evolution of the latter
is due more to the imagination of
newspaper reporters than to the in
ventive genius of the American
mind. 1t appears, however, that
we did not give the Americans suf-
ficient credit in this direction. The
bogus beans are a reality. They
came originally from Sweden, and
are said to be an almost exact imi-
tation of the real bean, even to the
crook in the seam. 1t is apparently
a hard-baked composition moulded
in the same manner as druggists
pills. It has no taste or odor,
which is an advantage, but is dou-
BILE the weight of the ordinary
bean, a great advantage to the skill
full American adulterator. This,
however, is not the worst of the
substituted is counterfeit made
to resemble the raw bean, the col
oring matter being Paris green.
When we are told that this often
makes people sick, we ought not tc
be surprised. Germany was the
home of these denominations, but
with conscious pride, an American
paper before us says the Americans
did not take long to excel the Ger
mans in the manufacture. We can
quite believe it. [Ceylon Times.
