ILL ASSORTED PAIR.
A White Woman and coIored
Man Attempt to EIope.

Roanoke, like all great cities, is oc-
casionally the scene of sensation.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Lille Dooley,
a white woman, who lives at or near
Salem, appeared before Chief of Police
Terry with the story that her fifteen
year-old sister had eloped with Hender-
son Whales, a negro. After warrant
had been sworn out by Mrs. Dooley for
the arrest of the aforesaid Uendorson,it
was at once placed in tho hands Of Oni-
| Ger Johnson, who went in search of
the worthy pair.
In that portion of the city styled
"Peach ard Honey he found the girl,
but Whales had vanished. 1t appears
that the wife of Whales came upon the
scene of action early in the morning,
and after beating down her matches and
furling her sails proceeded to engage at
short range the unfortunate Mary, who
was soon put hors du combat. Then at
the bidding of the dusky Amazon, or
fearing that if he persisted in his origi
nal intention that things might grow
too warm for him, he took his depart
ure
The hayward Mary was brought to
the police station, where she proceeded
to tell her tale of woe, which was to the
effect that her sister treated her badly
and that the gallant Henderson, having
volunteered his services to carry her to
her home in, or near Charleston, West
Virginia, she had accepted. Mrs. Doc
ley gave another and different version
of the affair. She said that she had
learned since the elopemenJ OF the girl
that for some time past too close an
intimacy has existed between the recre-
ant girl and the negro Henderson
Whales, and that tho destination of
their attempted flight was Chicago.
However this may be, the girl was car
ried home by Mrs. Dooley and officer
johnson is still on the search for
Whales.

POISON IN PATCHOULi.
Women OF Nervous Organization Strongly
Affected by the Perfume.

Affected by the Perfume.
There are some constitutions that
cannot stand perfumes. The patchouli,
a perfume readily recognized in India
ink or the India shawls, is to some per-
sons almost rank poison. Ladies have
been known to faint after wearing India
shawls or painting with India ink. and
4 satchct which has patchouli as the
flavoriug essence is to many persons eX-
trcmcly unhealthy.
Whether the perfume causes nervous
complications or eXcitcs nausea cannot
be asccrtaincd, but it is certain that
some constitutions will not bear it, and
lady finding herself losing appetite or
strength, or having headaches that
have no explained cause, might look for
the rea son in some perfumes that she is
in the habit of using, says the ST. Louis
Globe Democrat
On some persons the musk has sim
liar effect, others are sickcned by some
one or other of the volatile oils derived
from flowers, while more rarely the
odor of apples or of other fruit has an
unfavorablc effect on persons of peculiar
temperament.
AS rule, whatever perfume is un-
pleasant to the individual should DO
avoided, but as exceptions occur to every
rule, nervousness or debility which can
not be accounted for may sometimes be
explained by the use of n well known
perfume.

QUEER MODES OF BURIAL.
How Natives OF the Far East Dispose of
Their Dead.

How Natives OF the Far East Dispose OF
Their Dead.
According to the Philadelphia Press
the Mohammcdans always whether in
their own country or in one of adoption,
bury without coffin or casl1ct of any
kind During the time of the old Ro-
man empire the dead bodies of all ex-
cept suicides were burned. The Greeks
sometimes buried their dead in the
ground, but more generally cremated
them in imitation of the Romans. In
India, up till within the last few years,
the wife, either according to her wishes
or otherwise, was cremated on the same
funeral pyrc that converted her dead
husbands remains into ashes. When a
child dies in Greenland the natives bury
live dog with it, tho dog to be used by
the child as guide to the other world.
When questioned in regard to this pc
culiar superstition they will only ans
wer: 'Adog can find his way anywhere"
The natives of Australia tie the hands of
their dead together and pull out their
nails. This is for fear that the corpse
may scratch its way out of the grave and
become vampire. The primitive Rus
slams place Ger tifcatc Of character in
the dead persons hands. which is to be
given TO st. Pc ter at the gates Of Heaven.

THE BROTHER OF GARFIELD.

= Poor Old Man Who Made Great Sacri-
fees to Aid james.
There is pathetic mcagerncss and
retirement in the life of Thomas A
Garfield, tho only brother of ex- Prcsi-
dent Garfield, which wildly shows the
possibilities of American life and tho
partiality of fate.
For quarter of century, says the
Buffalo Enquirer, the brother of the
.nartyrcd president has lived in obscur-
ity on Il small farm near Grand RAPIDS
Mich. lie has no more property now
than he had twenty years ago, and it is
claimed by his friends that he re-
manned poor all his life because of carly
sacrifices made for his great brother and
for the supplemented Grandma Gar
fed.
His, they say, was IL hcroism as loyal
and noble as that of his brother Thorn
rs is now an old man OF siXty-scycn,
bent and worn with lifc's long struggle.
The Garfield homestead lies six miles
from byron Center, n very little station,
and is n garden spot hcwn in the woods
when Michigan was just dofling its
swaddling clothes. The house is n mod
est one, built in 1877. The money for
its construction was sent from the
white house to replace the old log house
destroyed by fire that year, and the gift
was heartily made by the president,
who always remembered that his start
in life was due to his brother.
The family on the little farm consists
of Mrs Garfield and james Abram Gar
field, who is forty years old, and the
very image of his illustrious uncle He
was born upon the same Ohio farm as
the eN-prcsidcnt, has the same high
forehead and the same features and form.
The home is very humble, and the walls
of the plain little parlor are covered with
portraits of James A. Garfield. Thomas
became the support of the Garfield fam
lily when he was but ten years old, the
father dying and leaving them nothing
but farm. The boy left his district
school and took up his fathers work.
1t was hard scramble for bread, and
sister, mother and brother all learned
what it was to split rails. Thomas
chopped wood ct tw cnty-five cents 4
cord, and worked all W inter at this
rate. James was the baby tn en-. Later
they all scraped and saved to help TO
pay Jimmy's way at the Chester acade-

AN ExoRBITANT CHA RGE.
The Extortionate Price Paid for Hay at
the Reno Cattle Corrals.

San Francisco wholesale butchers
complain of the exorbitant prices
that has to be paid for hay at the
Reno cattle coTrals. Stock shipped
from points east of Reno in this State
have to be unloaded there and fed,
and the owners of the corrals take adj
vantage of this to make extortionate
charges for the hay they furnish to
feed the cattle.
The San Francisco Lire Stock and
Butchers Gazette, in speaking of this
latest sample of Reno's leading char
acteristic, says: Hay can be pur-
chased outside of the corrals at So to
Sc ton, but inside the corials, into
which the cattle are unloaded for
rest and water, the charge of 500 a
ton is made. If the cattle are not
fed hay at that point, which is often
unnecessary, and, indeed, undesirable
when cattle have only come a COM
paratively short distance, say from
Lovelock, the corral man charges
one dollar a carload for unloading
and loading, though very often there
is no help there to unload and the
work is done by the brakemen and the
man in charge. The butchers say that
$40 or even $12 ton for hay put in
the managers, would give fair profit,
but that 500 is extortion. They do
not complain of the railroad company
but Of the company's tenants, who
lease the corrals.

Pepsin.

The pepsin sold in the drug stores
is the veritable product of an animal
stomach, and gene ally the stom. ch
OF the hog. One factory in New York
has the oldest method OF preparing
the article that ever entered into the
human mind. A number of perfectly
healthy hogs are fattened for market,
and for thirty-six hours before kill
ing-time are deprived of all iood, not
even being allowed a drop OF water.
Then the trough from which they are
accustomed to eat is covered with
strong wire-ne.ting, and the most
appetizing Stops and hog delicacies,
smoking hot, are poured into the
trough. The fumes ascend with gate
full fragrance to the porcine nostrils,
the hogs all run to the trough and
stand over it, ravenous with hunger,
squealing and fighting with each
for chance to get at the food. The
iron-netting prevents them from
tasting the iood, and while they are
still thinking about the matter they
are killed, and their stomachs being
taken out are found perfectly full of
gastric juice, from which pepsin is
prepared.-San Francisco Argonau.
