Miss Efe Clark, Student at Evanston,
ILL.,, shot Dead by F. Ross Smith. Her
Rejected suitor The Murderer Kills
Himself
CHICAGO, April 3.-Miss Effie Clark,
of Spokane, Wash, member of the
Northwestern university freshman
class, was shot and instantly killed
about o'clock Saturday evening by
F. Ross Smith, of III Ayers court,
Evanston. Smith then shot and killed
himself. The cause of the tragedy was
Miss Clarll's rejection of Smith as a
suitor. Miss Clark, who was 10 years
of age, was the daughter of well-to-do
parents at Spokane Falls. Her slayer
was 26 years old and for a long time
has been an ardent suitor for the hand
of the dead girl. His attentions were
repulsed by the parents of the young
girl and by Miss Clark herself The
latter was sent to school at Evanston
in order to free her from the persis-
tent attentions of young Smith, but
he followed her and for some
time has been staying at house near
where Miss Clark boarded. Saturday
evening he called at the boarding
house and after n few minutes earnest
| conversation prevailed upon Miss
Clark to accompany him for walk.
The pair had not gone far when Smith
was seen to draw n revolver and within
few seconds fire five shots. Two shots
took effect in Miss Clark's head, with
fatal results. The other three Smith
directed toward himself, producing
wounds from which he died in n few
hours The dying girl was cared for
by her friends, but only survived a
few minutes

EGGS AT EASTER.

Their Use Can Be Traced Into the Most
 Remote Antiquity.
 The use of eggs for Easter can be traced, says Count de Gebelin, in his Religious History of the Calendar, to the theology and philosophy of the Egyptians, Persians, Gauls, Greeks and Romans, among all of whom an egg was a symbol of the universe, the work of the supreme divinity. The Persians gave presents of eggs at the feast of the New Year-i. e., the feast of the vernal equinox-in honor of the renewal of all things. "The Egyptians held the egg as sacred emblem of the renova- ton of mankind after the deluge The Jews adopted it to suit the circum. stances of their history as a type of their departure from Egypt, and it was used in the feast of the Passover as part of the furniture of the table with the Paschal lamb" The early Druids used the egg in their ceremonies.
 In Russia one man greets another on Easter with Jesus Christ is risen" '" ''Yes, He is risen," reply is made; and then an egg is given. In Moscow no meeting takes place without this salu tation and exchange. '"The meanest pauper in the street presenting an egg and repeating the words 'Christos Vos- crees' may demand a salute even of the empress" In some countries of Italy eggs are carried to the church to be blessed, and then taken home and set out with flowers on the table. Every visitor during Easter week is invited to eat an Easter egg, an invitation which must not be refused. Eggs in all coun- tries are sent as tokens at this time, and enter into the sentiments and pastimes of old and young alike.

S0 I went to work and smashed my thumb, and lamed my back, and tore my trousers toggling up a sort of fowl cry.
 l thought I'd build small one at first and then add other buildings as our flock increased so l. built it in the architecture of Henry I.
 Marie said she'd take a little drive ott in the country and pick up about ten egg layers which, according to her figures, would give us something like five dozen eggs per week, as we could hardly expect the fowls to lay Sundays. and there are Sundays enough already laid, anyway, to supply the demand, and eggs were particularly what we needed.
 Well, when I came home at night she took me proudly out to show me her flock. There, in the tiny park, on one leg each, stood nine big, solemn-look- ing roosters and one apprehensive little hen.
 'The man gave me the pick of his fock," said Marie, "and I picked out the biggest, handsomest fowls he had. guess he thought was pretty shrewd, for he laughed good deal while was selecting my brood. told him that wanted the kind that didn't set and he sad he'd guarantee that none of those that I picked out ever would. The little one he made me n present of, but I'd good deal rather have had all oi them large and handsome and with such lovely combs and tail feathers. Do you suppose we'll find ten eggs in the little soap-box nests tomorrow morning?"
 hadn't the heart to undeceive hel and that's one reason why I'm putting up thirty cents per dozen for my her fruit this blessed Eas .ertide. CHARLES NEWTON Hoop.

THE POWER OF THE AIR.
Energy of the Atmosphere Amounting to
 Billions of BriJcns of Foot-Tons.

Energy of the Atmosphere Amounting to
 Billions of Brucns of Foot-Tons.
 The magnitude of the store of aerial energy, writes R. H. Thurston in a paper on Modern Uses of the Wind mill" appearing in the Engineering Magazine, upon which mankind may draw, so long as the race exists upon this earth, is beyond the reach of the imagination to conceive, but not beyond the power of the computation of the mathematician. Taking the quantities roughly and in round numbers" the atmosphere weighs about ton to every square foot of the earth's surface; 25,- 900, 900 tons per square mile, or 5,00o,- 900, 900, 900, 900 on the total of 200, ,OoO, ,OOO square miles. Its energy is that duo to the motion of this inconceivable mass, at velocities varying all the way from the gentlest zephyr to the hurricane and the cyclone, rushing over ttse prairie or along the surface of the sea at more than 100 miles an hour A cubic mile of air weighs about 10, O0O,- 000, ,000 pounds, and, at the rate of mo- ton of the cyclone, develops 4,OO0, OO0,- 900, 900 'foot-tons" of energy, and, if all employed at this rate for the perform ance of work, useful or obstructive, this S,000,000, ,00O, ,OO0,0 ''foot-pounds" would be equivalent to more than 2,000, ,O0O, ,OOO, ,OO0, 900 horsepower. If the disturbance reaches the exterior of the atmospheric shell, inclosing the earth, it embodies210, 900, 900, 900, ,00O, ,O0O horse power, or millions of times as much as the highest estimates make the proba- ble whole steam power of the world at the end of the nineteenth century.
 Assuming the moderate velocity of 16.7 miles an hour for the whole atmos- phere of the globe, it's energy per mile is ne-thirty-sixth of that just computed, and 5 1000, ,OOO, ,OO0, ,oOO, 900 tons of atmosphere would represent about 50, ,OOO, ,OOO, ,OO0, ,OOO, ,OOO foot-tons of energy and not far from 50,00O, 900, ,O0O, ,OOO horse power; certainly more than a half million times as much power as have all the engines in the world com bined. Each cubic mile would store 40, 1000, 100000 horsepower; and every square mile, could 100 feet of it's super incumbent atmosphere be utilized, would yield about SC, 1000, ,0OO horse-pow- CT, which is not far from the aggregate of the existing steam power of the world

EVOLUTION OF A FASHION.

Ats Germ May be In a Paris Library or
 Some Humble WOman's Brain.
 And now that crinoline and hoop skirts, to the disgust and dismay of all sensible women, have been formally declared the fashion in Paris, a sudden curiosity asks: Whence and how arise these ever-varying, never-to-be-diso- beyed di> tums of that intangible power, fashion?
 All women know that in Paris the conception anl fulfilment of every mode first ap pears, as the cholera first shows it's head in Asia. Then, as the cholera, tn French fashion spreads like wldtire through the western world, lnd no quarantine can stay its course or pr>v mt its voluntary adoption. Whence came the trained skirt, the
 rJwn ess bonnet the rosette, and to- lay the wretched crinoline? From Paris.
 Why Paris? Because, in the French capital the propagation of fashion germs, as one might call them, is a
 creat and honorable profession, carried ;o its highest point of perfection, and nor or less followed by every dress maker.
 This is how a fashion is made: In the summer months, when Paris is empty of carriage folk and the business Jay is dull, the libraries, where, in dusty file, rank the books of reference, and in the picture shops, the little tressmaker and the sartorial artist of
 wealth and fame eagerly con dusty illustrated tonnes and the portraited eleganteS of other centuries They are searching for an idea for
 something new, for a cut or color, a bow or rutlie that by reason of long dis
 nsc has revived it's youth, and the con ventionalized adapted to modern fabrics will plsS as a novelty.
 The head of great esta' ishment,
 though he knows his public, enjoys a worldwide name for skill and high
 prices, and is an authority on all mat terS rel ting to his art, studies long
 and deeply, ponders carefully and la- I bors assiduously when he is about to ! introduce new fashion. A manager with his play, a publisher | with his book, are not more wary and thoughtful of the public taste and pref
 erences than the great dressmake | about to design his model costume' | His fabrics from the manufactured | must be ordered, their color, textur l etc, decided upon, a thousand ventur and expenses must be incurred, aI | should his ideas not find anpreciatio ! he loss would be terrible. The wor
 is looking to Paris for ideas that mu be forthcoming.
 At moment an inspiration arrive or happier dispensation of Providen(
 a timid little woman, who at bare l ing prices has been making gowns slow paying ladies, comes trembling
 to reveal to monsieur her conceptii

 She details her scheme, or produce
 trawing. He knows-eXperience 3 taught him-that among the Gnsty \ prints and in her own busy ambitious \ brain the little dressmaker has fallen

 season. Happy fortune for the little

BEN eUTLeR's swEAR-oFF.

Ills New Years Resolution to Stop Smok-
 ing.
 Until 1888 Gen. Butler smoked great deal. In the fall of 1882 he conf1ded to his private secretary that he thought the habit of smoking had grown on him too strongly, and he was beginning to think that his will might be weak ening.
 On the day after the first of January, 1883, says the Boston Globe, he sent for his private secretary to come into the executive chamber at the state house. The private secretary came and seated himself at the desk that he usually oc- cupicd.
 Hand me that paper-weight," said the governor, pointing to heavy glass weight on the desk. It was done, and then Gov. Butler quizzically inspected the private secre- tary's desk at long range, and said in the low grumble that was characteris- tic of him:
 "I hope you chaven't any missiles | there"
 "Why, govcrnor?" said the private secretary.
 "Well, I don't want you to throw anything at me-" he growled, "when I tell you that I've been blamed fool enough to make New Years resolu- tion. When the old year went out the other night said to myself, as fin ished my cigar, that would smoke no more while lived"
 This resolution, as everybody knows, was sacredly kept.

NIatter-of-Fact Dog.

"There are prosaic men and women, and there are matter-of-fact dogs" says a writer in the London Spectator. "For purely business purposes they are often the best" he adds. and tells little story to prove the fact:
 "We once owned an excellent retriev. ing spaniel of the simple order of mind without 8 grain of humor. This dog accompanied us unasked when we wanted to shoot bullfnch in the gar den to stuff. The gun went off, and the poor bullfinch dropped. Now this dog had been used, when the gun was fired to go and look for dead or wounded rabbit. So, instead of looking under the apple tree, he disappeared into the hedge, and in few minutes he returned with a rabbit in his mouth! So much for the value of matter-of-fact dog"

Too Much of n Good Thing.

Not long ago." says the Philadelphia Record, "a local collector, whose letters of rare interest only his most intimate friends are allowed to sec, secured pos session of about twenty letters of a revolutionary hero which were most valuable historically on account of the new light they threw upon some dis puted points. Their number, however, necessarily reduced their individual commercial value, so ten of them were consigned to the flames without having even been copied. The value of the re- maining ten was, of course, enhanced greatly by this course. To such collec- tors the money value of letter is the only point to be considered, and they do not hesitate to make any sacrifice that will increase this value. Many very important historical letters have recently been destroyed in this way"

Dangerous Hosts.

The fear expressed among naval off cers that they may be out of pocket if foreign navies take part in the proposed Columbian naval res jew is based upon some eXpenence abroad, where United States officers with no government ap- propriation for social entertainment found it necessary to return the courte- sies of foreign navies. To cruise in the Mediterranean with a rich admiral com manding the flagship is regarded as a privilege by most naval officers, for the admiral bears the expense of any elab- crate entertainment, and the ships ex- change civilities with the navies of all nations. The Russians are still es- teemed the most dangerous hosts or guests upon convivial occasions.

THE question is asked: "What, if any, Is the difference between hypnotism and mesmerism9" Most people think there is 8 considerable difference. and that hypnotism is modern invention or dis covery, allied to, but widely divergent from, that to which Mesmer gave cur. rency. What may be accepted as an authoritative answer to the question Is furnished by Arthur Shedwell, who was recently sent to Paris by the Lon don Times to investigate hypnotism. He says: "There is no difference what ever."

The certificate which was given to Prince Bismarck at the termination of his course at the university of Gettingen throws an interesting light upon the early escapades of the famous German chancellor. He never worked more than five hours a day, and generally less. He was three times imprisoned, or suffered ''seclusion," for breaking the university regulations. He had ten days for being present at a duel with pistols, and a further installment of three days on another occasion for a similar offense. His last term of con- dnement was fourteen days.
