A Woman,s Wit.

The other day, says a correspondent
from Alsace, while was on my way
from M. to T., found myself in com
pany with four gentlemen. each of whom
was smoking. The train stopped at an
intermediate station, and lady was on
the point of entering it. Being nearest
the carriage door, and observing that she
carried a basket, hastened to help her
in with 1t. Take care" said the lady,
81 have six pounds of dynamite in that
basket, which am taking to my hus-
band in stone quarry" The train then
sped on. Quick as lightning the gentle
men exchanged glances and threw their
cigars out of the window. All looked
horror stricken as they glanced first at
the frau and then at the basket.
My thoughts conjured up visions of
the destruction of the Cafe Very in Par
Is. My ruminations were suddenly dis
turbed by shout of Station or yelled
out by porter. The frau rose slowly
from her seat and stepped out upon the
platform. A sigh of relief came from us
all. Thank heavenl" said one. trem-
bled as handed out the basket, with its
dangerous contents. "Thanksr' said the
woman. "Thanksl You need not look

High" Game.

DIR. Wynter Blyth. the medical officer
Of health for Marylebone. is the sworn
enemy Of high game, on the perfectly
consistent ground that no valid distinc-
ton can be drawn between decomposi-
ton in the rabbit and the same process
in the hare. If one be injurious, lie Oh
served, 80 must be the other. and though
he does not venture TO suggest the prose-
cution Of vendors of game under the san
itary laws. he does not hesitate to de
scribe this culinary eccentricity as a
'flthy and disgusting habit His argu-
nsnts, however, are double edged. Ad-
hitting that decomposing rabbit is fully
as injurious as highly favored pheasant
we are at liberty to argue that, as the
consumption of high game is seldom fol-
lowed by toxic symptoms, the prohibi-
ton in respect of decomposing meat gen
orally is unnecessary.
Common experience seems to show
that the products of ordinary decompo-
sition. at any rate in its earlier stage.
are destroyed or rendered inert by cook
ing; otherwise the mortality among the
disciples of Lucullus in the upper classes
would be phenomenal. The danger lies
presumably in the fact that decompos-
ing animal tissues afford suitable me-
dunn for the autocultivation of bac-
terra other than those of decomposition
the toxic products whereof may resist
the influence of high temperature. We
are loath to believe i'll of practice
which, if asthetically Objectionable, is
hallowed by centuries of apparent i'm
punity.-London Medical Press.

DE FREYcINeT IMPLICATED
In Another French Political Scandal lust
Made Public.

PARIS. April ll.-Figaro publishes a sem
sational article regarding Turpin, the in
ventor of the explosive called Melinite,
who is now undergoing sentence of five
years Imprisonment at Etampes for sell
ing the secret of the invention to foreign
ers. NJ. Cardene, the writer of the article,
says that Turpin was condemned unjustly,
through the action of NJ. de Freycinet,
then minister Of war, who was afraid Of
the effect of the revelations which the in
ventor might possibly make concerning
him and the sale of the explosive. The
writer adds that he was entrusted by M
de Freycinet with an offer to Turpin OF
free pardon, together with large sum of
ready money, in exchange for his solemn
promise that he would not divulge the
matter.
On the recommendation of the minister
of justice the president has signed
pardon remitting the remainder Of the
sentence passed on Turpin, who was found
guilty Of high treason and has speut three
years in prison at Etampes.

But Jim White would never have sue
ceeded as q scout had his wits been less
sharp. He had been in similar straits
before, yet had escaped. BY sndden
twist of his rein he compelled the animal
under him to make bolt to the right,
and almost at the same instant the horse
made leap over the stone fence. Then,
stretching out ON furious gallop, his
steed was soon crossing the field Of
snow strewn stubble.
Both Of the Confederate patrols fol-
lowed, but as they were delayed in get
ting over the fence Jim had meantime
reached the other side Of the field. his
horse leaping a wide ditch in his stride.
Two or three carbines were emptied at
him as the horse rose from the leap, but
all the bullets went wide Of their mark.
1t was now a test of speed and endur-
ance, and Jim had again sanguine hope
Of escape. He knew the valley well, and
as he rode gallantly forward the thought
side of small wood he was approaching
there was road leading toward the
River Potomac. He also remembered
that q mile or two below there was
bridge across narrow creek, and he at
once formed the plan by which he finally
eluded his pursuers.
II took only few seconds to enter the
wood and dash through it. On reaching
the road he darted off again, being fully
q mile ahead when the Confederates took
up his trail. In less than 10 seconds Jim
had reached the bridge, it being just be
yond sharp turn in the road, thus shut
ting him out of the sight of the united
patrols.
Suddenly reinings in, he dismounted
and led his horse under the bridge. Once
there, he covered the animals nose with
his hat to check its labored breathing
and ordered il to kneel. The command
was promptly obeyed by the docile steed,
1t seeming to recognize itsmaster's peril
Standing there, ready for any emergency
the scout calmly waited, hearing the
sharp clatter of the Confederates as they
rapidly approached. Nearer and nearer
cains the laundering hoofs, and . mo-
ment later they ratified on the bridge.
The trained and intelligent animal gave
no sign Of its presence, and in few min
utes the pursuing party was out of sight
and hearing. Then Jim returned to the
road and galloped away up the vallev

KINGS LIFE IN DANGER.
A Spirit Of Unrest Appears to Prevail Among
Subjects OF Portugal

LISBON, April 11.-While King Carlos
was driving through the Avenida park a
man fired shot at his majesty which
failed. The would-be assassin was at
once arrested and turned out to be prom
inent society man and member of the
aristocracy. He disclaims to have any
political ends to serve, and it Is not
thought that he belongs to any political
coterie. This attempt at assassination,
following so closely on the attempt to de-
rail the royal railway train on the Goth of
last month, when the rails were thrown
up, leads the authorities to fear that the
tranquility only recently restored in the
country will not be of long duration.

On the Track Of the Microbe.

Science is pressing relentlessly on the
heels Of the microbe. The latest method
Of coping with this minute but potent
source Of disease is to literally cast it out
Of the abiding place in which it has in

substances for the most part heavier
than water, and this fact has led to the
introduction Of method of separating
them from water, milk and other liquids

darperS weekly.
Some Of our foreign friends are inclined
to make light of the wOmen's share In the
great Chicago enterprise. They say that
much of the "work"-literary, oratorical
artistic. what not-has been. not to put too
fine point upon il. and to use q phrase that
the women Ought to understand, taken
from the oven q little too soon. and that
the participants would have done better to
wait until they had something worth
showing. Doubtless there is ground for
this kind of criticism, but the pebbles
houses. The exhibits. personal and
other. made by the stronger sex can
hardly be said TO be monotonously
perfect after their kind. We have pain
full consciousness that large very large.
proportion of the speech and writing of
males on the subject of the worlds fair
might have been better baked. Some OF
advantage. And there Is another side
to the question. 1t is not to
be denied that there is excellent work
by women at Chicago-artists, decorators.
architects. writers, to say nothing of less
pretentious exhibitors. 1t is our Judgment
that competition among the women, where
q high level is attained by some. will tend
strongly, directly. and permanently TO
raise the level of the others. Not of all. of
vanity and hopeless stupidity. as there
are men similarly afflicted. But
wherever a women of sincere purpose,
wishing to do the best. and ready to work
for 1t, sees other women's achievements of
u worthy sort, she receives definite i'm
pulse, on inspiration, and with these guild

men. as well as sensible women. will re-

MADE LOVE BY LETTER.
Arrest Of Woman Who Swindled Would
Be Benedicts Ont $50 to 500 Each.

NEW YORK, June 10.-The postoffice in
spectOrs in the Federal Bnllding were
much interested this afternoon in
the announcement from Albany Of an
important arrest. During the past
six months the postoffice inspectors
here have received numerous complaints
from all over the country, particularly the
West and South. from would-be benedicts
about the manner in which they had been
swindled by woman who had by letter
promised every one of them to marry them.
The alleged swindler was arrested ,yester-
day, at Albany and held In bonds to-day.
She is Emma j. Waters, alias Jessie f.
Rivers. As the love making by letter con-
tlnued, and the point was reached
where she was to start out to
meet her would-be husband, she would
write requesting some money to purchase
goods. In response she inv ariably received
sums varying from $50 to 500. That is the
last the would be husband would hear Of
her or the money. Inspector Jacobs. who
gave out the story at the postoffice
this afternoon, said that she was in the
habit of receiving from thirty to fifty let
ters each day. The particular complaint
upon which she was arrested was made by
Morris FIcks. of Hallock, Mimi, who say $
he was duped out of $50 by her. Some of
her letters which were shown this after
noon are gems.
