power affords him numerous opport uni
ties of abuse, blackmail, and moreover
predisposes him to lend himself to
schemes of private revenge. Only
year ago Madame Celine Montaland, of
the Coincide Franchise, lady decorated
with the Order de academic and oc-
cupying on the French stage a promi-
nence equivalent to that enjoyed by Miss
Ada Rehan on that of the United States,
was arrested at 2 o'clock in the after
noon while walking alone down the Rue
du Faubourg ST. Honore, by police
man, out of uniform, and notwithstand-
ing her protests, as well as those Of the
bystanders, was thrust into a cab and
taken off to the Depot prison. Fortu-
nately the Project of Police was notified
of the affair before nightfall, and
Madame Montaland was set at liberty
with profuse apologies after few
hours detention. The shock to her
nervous system, caused by the arrest
and the brutality of her captor, was SO
great that her health broke down and
she died a few months later.

reigning beauties of the great world of
Paris some years ago. On one occasion
she was placed under the necessity of
forbidding her house to foreigner who
had rendered himself obnoxious to her.
He determined to be reveuged, and ac-
cordingly bribed a couple of those ununi-
formed policemen assigned to the "ser-
vice des incur" to assist him in the
matter A couple of weeks later, while
crossing the street from her mothers
house to her own, after dinner, the two
mansions being directly opposite TO one
another, she was suddenly seized by
character, struck, kicked aud dragged
off to the Depot prison, where she
spent the remainder of the night with a
number of the most degraded specimens
of our sex. On the following morning
she was liberated with apologies Find
ing her way home she locked herself ND
in her room, and after writing letter
10 her husband who, believing that she
had remained the night with her
mother. was asleep in the adjoining
apartment, shot herself through the
heart.
The beresved husband was able to Sc
cure no redress save the dismissal of the
two policeman, who made full confes-
sion. The man who had b-ibed them
prudently left Paris

situation, and to the intense qualification
of the cabman, who was actually led to
manifest the exuberance of his delight
by dancing pas seul while the castiga-
tion of the bourgeois" was In progress.
But then every woman has not the spirit
or courage to adopt such radical meas
ures of self-protection, nor has she
whip always at hand.
Unfortunately there is another dan
ger. and one that is far more serious
than the species of persecution just de-
scribed, to which our sex is exposed on
the public tboroughfares OF Paris and OF
most of the cities of the Continent. In
France, and in the majority of the other
countries as well, the police have power
and authority to arrest Unfortunately
any woman who may be found on foot
in the streets, either by day or by night,
without male protection. From time to
time the police indulge in what are
technically described as "rafies," or
razzias A Gordon of police, mostly In
plain clothes, is quietly drawn around
the district selected for the razzia, the
circle is gradually lessened, and all the
women unaccompanied by male escort
found within it are captured and taken
off to the prison depot. There they are
kept all night long herded together, and
it is only on the following day that they
are offered an opportunity OF proving
their responsibility, which if they sue
coed in doing they are set free. From a
shop window on the Boulevard Mont
martre in Paris l have witnessed a razzia
of this kind take place at O'Clock In
the afternoon. The scene was almost
indescribable. Screams, shouts, cries,
coarse oaths, vile epithets, women rush
ing hither and thither, and their pur-
suers after them. The conduct Of these
pursuers (who constitute separate and
most degraded division Of the Partisan
police force) towards the women is hor-
rible in the extreme. They strike the
poor creatures wit h their heavy fists,
clutch hold of them by their hair, hurl
them to the ground and indeed treat
them as if they had no vestige of hui
mainly remaining. And remember that
every girl, every woman, no matter how
evident her responsibility, who happen
ed to be walking unattended by male
escort on the Boulevard Montmartre that
afternoon, was subjected TO this species
of mahreatment, followed by detention
at the Depot until the following day.
AS / mentioned above, in addition to
these razzias, both the uniformed and
ununiformed policeman is authorized to
arrest any unescorued woman at any
hour of the day or night whose be-
havior he chooses to regard as suspi-
cious. Considering that the maximum
pay CT French policeman does not ex-
coed So a week, it will readily be under
stood that this practically irresponsible

great many animals enjoy tobacco
smoke, for beasts are much like men
and differ essentially in their tastes az
men do. But dogs and cats are not
among the number of those that relish
tobacco, for either will generally take a
violent fit of coughing or sneezing
when smoke is pulled into their faces,
and sometimes they seem to ecome very
sick at the smell. Many horses, how
ever, appear to enjoy the odor of a good
cigar as much as men do, and soma
mules are passionately fond OF tobacco
It is not safe, however. to experiment

Gives a Warning to Those Of Her
Sex That Visit Europe.

COPYRIGHT. 1892 BY JAMES ". JoHNsoN)
Just at the present moment when so
many American women are crossing the
Atlantic for the first time, it may not
he amiss to draw their attention to
very important and yet somewhat deli
cate matter, namely, the dangers to
which the members of our sex are ex-
posed if they venture to walk unescorted
in the streets of the majority OF the
towns and cities of Europe A warning
of this kind is all the more needed by
the feminine neophytes of European
travel from this country in consequence
of the entirely different conditions of
life and manner that prevail on the
public thoroughfares Of the various
cities of the United States. Here we
are able to walk abroad unescorted at
almost every hour of the day or night
without mourning any risk of arrest by

the authorities, or Of insult by male
strangers. In New York, Philadelphia,
Chicago. Boston, or indeed any of the
great American cities, a woman can re-
turn home from an evening performance
of the theater, accompanied by her
maid, or even alone, without hearing
solitary word calculated to offend her
sense of propriety and delicacy. In
Europe, however, no such security pre-
walls, and any American girl who ven
lures to exercise there the same freedom
and inGe pendence of action and of man
ner as at home, exposes herself to all
kinds of trouble, humiliation and annoy
ance.
In London, after ), or at the latest 6
o'clock in the afternoon, the streets,
even the most frequented thoroughfares,
such as Piccadilly, Regent street, Bond
street and Oxford street, become abso-
lutely impossible of access or passage
to any respectable woman. They are
thronged with a noisy herd of fallen
sisters whose vileness of language
is only equalled by their shame
les sness and impudence. Night is
rendered hideous by their screams,
their bowls and their ribald songs and
drunken trays. No one is allowed to
pass by without being assaulted with
obscene epithets and remarks, and per-
feet psndemonium reigns until about 3
O'Clock in the morning. No attempt to
interfere with them is made by the
police, whose good nature and leniency
under the circumstances are so excessive
as to give rise to the suspicion that they
are not altogether disinteresred. Hence
it will be readily understood that even
when attended by a masculine escort,
respectable women avoid going on foot
in London after dark.
On the Continent matters are even
worse, and it is not only inadvisable,
but also positively dangerous for an I'M
escorted woman to venture abroad in
the streets on foot either by night or by
day. Every unprotected member of our
sex possessed with an ordinory share of
good looks and youth. who walks out
alone, at no matter what hour of the
day, is regarded by the vast majority of
the men whom she meets as their natu

raj and legitimate prey, and as such is
exposed to their insults and persecution.
The nuisance exists in almost every con-
tiueutal city, but nowherei is it combined
with so much Impudence and audscity
as in the towns and cities of France aud
Italy, countries where nearly each male
creature that one meets seems imbued
with the firm idea that be is absolutely
irresistible as far as our sex is concern
ed. Nor Go the police afford US any
protection. Although have lived long
in Europe, particularly st Paris, l have
never yet heard Of a case OF the police
arresting man for tormentiug a woma n
in the street, ana yet this is one of the
cslnmonest offenses against public de-
ceEcy. 1t is true that on one occasion
saw young American girl, who had
been insulted in this way on the Boule-
ward des Capucines at Paris, stop short,
seize the whip of a cabmau whose
''fscre" was drawn up at the curbstone,
and lay it about the face of her tormen-
tor with such good will that he turned

BOATS FOR WOMEN.

Women affect to prefer yachts What
they really like is q catboat. To go sail

piazza One would as soon feel oualms

broad as it is long. Some catboats arc
broader than they are long. Such would
be catboat thirteen feet by twenty
four, which are the dimensions of

should be twice the breath of beam, as
in this case it was not. There is but
one man; he handles the tilIer with one
hand, shifts the sail with the other and
entertains you with talk of his craft
He pretends great Indifference TO yachts
and says: 1--WE don't think much Of
'em." A catboat, says the New York
Journal, not only is as brosd as a room
but has a centerboard. Literally it can
not capsize. On fine afternoons when cat
boats are available they look like float
ing nurseries. The most timid moth

A CAT OF CHARACTER.

She Protects = Birding and KILL
Snake.
In the mountain districts of Pennsyl-
vania two wrens had built their nests
under the caves of an old farmhouse,
and there they reared small and in
teresting family, says the Brandon
Bucksaw. Among the attaches of the
farmers household was white cat and
when the wrens became so tame that
they used to hop around the piazza in
search of crumbs, the cat would lie in
wait for them, and several times came
within an ace Of catching the adult
birds When the farmer noticed this he
kicked the cat, and she finally learned
that it was dangerous to fool with the
wrens.
When the baby wrens grew larger
one of them one day fell out of the
nest and, being too weak to run and
unable to fly, lay helpless on the grass
The cat saw the accident and ran rap
idly to seize the bird, but, seeming TO
remember the lesson Taught her. when
she reached the helpless little thing
she only touched it daintily with her
paw and then lay down and watched it
Presently there came a black and
yellow garden snake toward the hut-
tering birding. The cat was doing
and was awakened by the futtering of
the bird. Instantly she rose and struck
the reptile with her paw. This was an
enemy the snake did not appreciate,
but it was hungry, SO it darted forward
and attempted to seize the bird under
the very shelter of the cats head.
Like flash the cat seized the snake
just back of the head and killed 1t with
one bite. When the farmer happened
along in the afternoon he found the cat
crouching in the grass sheltering the
bird, and ten feet away was the dead
snake. This made 1t clear that the cat
had carried the bird away from the
snake, and the young adventurer was
soon restored to its anxious parents.
