vorce she came East, and she and Curtis
are now said to be living in an uptown
fiat In New York together. GUSTS never
paid his wife alimony since her divorce,
and yesterday he was ordered by the
Chancellor to do so.
While the proceedings were going on
before, the Chancellor, Van Truen APP
peared In the court. After the. case was
disposed of the two men met on Mont
gomery street. Van Truen alleges that

released his hold the two men struggled

Fancies of Mad Folks.

At lunatic asylum I recently visited
saw woman about so years of age
who was under the belief that there
were no men in the world. just to test
her the party of visitors among whom /
was asked her how many men there
were in the room at that moment.
"None," she replied. "They are all
females"
In the same asylum there is incarcer-
ated an elderly lady known to the other
inmates as SILENT Jane" Some months
ago she committed an offense against
rule of the establishment and was Sc
verelY reprimanded in consequence by
the master. She thereupon gave ex-
preston to a resolve never to speak
again and up to the present time she
has faithfully kept her promise, al
though persistent efforts are made to
get her to talk.
The only noise made by the old
woman is sort of humming and, des-
pite the strongest temptations that have
been held out to her, she never utters a
word.
l once met a iunatic whose special
mania was the making of beds. He
was SO fond of making beds that he
voluntarily made the whole of the beds
in one dormitory. He performed the
task with marvellous regularity and
speed. He could make bed perfectly
in less than two minutes, and such
carefully made beds were never seen
before. Scottish american.

Chloroform in Accidents.

Prof. Burt G. Wilder of Cornell sug-
gests that chloroform should be used
freely to relieve the victims of railroad
accidents. With the ak, bar and saw
at one end of every passenger car
should be tin can of chloroform, the
mouth closed with soft metal easily cut
with a knife, the whole being placed in
a box lined with absorbent cotton. In
a disaster one or two tablespoonfuls up
on handkerchief held near the nos
trils would lessen sensibility very soon.
An otherwise inaccessible sufferer could
be supplied by means of cane, UNI
brella or fence rail. For years, says
Prof. Wilder, 1 have carried a flat two
ounce vial of chloroform in hip pocket
1t has not yet been needed in railway
wreck, but it has often served as a
speedy counter-irritant for the relief OF
inward pain. 1t is ready to dash in the
face of an assailant, biped or quadruped,
and has been emptied repeatedly to put
out of misery some homeless cat. Final
ly, emptied upon their nostrils, it has
induced several ferocious dogs to stand
not upon the order of their going, but
go at once.

The Scapegoat.

She lived in the hovel alone, the beautiful
child
Alas, that it should have been sol
But her father died of drink, and the sons
went wild,
And where was the girl to go9
Her brothers left her alone in the lonely hut.
All! 1t was dreary at night
When the wind whistled right through the
door that never would shut,
And sent her sobbing with fright
She never had slept alone for the sitting
room
Held her, brothers, father-all.
All better their violence, better their threats
than the gloom
That now hung close as pail!
When the hard days washing was done it
was Sweeter to stand
Hardening praises and VOWS,
To feel her cold fingers kept warm in q
sheltering hand,
Than crouched in the desolate house.
All me! she was only child; and yet so
aware
Of the shame that follows on sin.
A poor, lost terrified child! she slept in the
snare.
Knowing the tolls she was in.
Yet.now, when 1 watch her pass with heavy
reel,
Shouting her villainous song,
Is it only pity or shame, do you think, that
For the infinite sorrow and wrong?
With sick, strange wonder ask, who shall
answer the sin,
Thou, lover, brothers of thine?
Or he who left standing thy hovel to perish
in?
Or I. who gave no sign?

FIRST FISH OF A FRIsKY SMALL BOY.
He Took It Home in His Pocket and Car
ried 1t to Bed.

The small boy went fishing the other
day. 1t was his first actual experience
in that line, but he had often talked the
sport over with his father and knew
just what he would do in any emer-
gency. He and his father got down to
the dock about noon and received ex-
cellent reports from the other fisher
men. Everybody said the sunfish and
rock bass and perch were biting well.
while there was an occasional black
bass to be caught.
To the small boy was given a pole
and his hook was baited for him. Then
his father threw in the line and he was
told to keep pulling it up and down in
the water, SO he might feel if he had a
fish. AS he is but bit over years
old the plan of waiting for nibble was
somewhat complicated for him, and the
father thought that he would soon tire
of the sport and run up the bank and
play.
The small boy did as he was told. He
drew the line up and down through the
water, and once gave it tremendous
fling and landed a fish on the dock.
1t wasn't much of a fish. 1t was
sunfish about three inches long, but it
was bigger to the boy and better than
if it had been a forty-pound muskal-
longe. His eyes stuck out like door
knobs and he danced about the dock
and shouted at the top of his voice for
all the folks to come and see his fish,
He had hooked it through the back
when he was drawing up his line bnt
that too cut no figure with him. He
had caught fish and he was as big
man as the sportsman who gets a tarpon
after a three hours struggle.
He determined then and there to take
it home and have it cooked. After he
had exhibited it with the greatest pride
to everybody on the bank he put it in
the pocket of his knickerbockers. He
didn't want to lose it. It was safe
enough for other persons to string their
fish and leave them in the water, but
this was a particular fish. He had
caught it and he was afraid some one
might grow jealous of him and wish to
take it from him. So he slowed it away
underneath his handkerchief and his
other small treasure, and whenever he
thought of it during the afternoon he
would take it out and fondle its bright
sides and cautiously try the spines of its
fins with the ball of his thumb.
Father and son went home and got
there too late for supper. The small
boy decided he would have the fish for
breakfast. He went to bed and next
morning his mother looked for the fish,
which she had placed on dish in the
pantry. 1t wasn't there. Search was
| instituted while the small boy slept, but
no fish was to be found. With fear and
trembling his mother went to his bed
side and awakened him. She knew she
would have to tell him of the loss of his
beloved fish, but she feared an outburst.
The moment the small boy got his eyes
open he made a mad grab under the
clothes. He had taken the fish to bed
with him.
When he gets bigger and studies
chemistry and all that sort of thing, and
comes to know about the disintegration
of tissues and the like, he will under
stand why he didn't have that fish for
breakfast. t.-Bufato Express.

MARRYING IN GERMANY.
Union Between Kinsfo1k Prevails to q
Great Extent.

Matrimony in Germany is singular
institution. There are so many restric-
tions, such a complement of formalities
to be submitted to that marriage is
rather unpopular than otherwise. The
prevailing idea is to keep money in the
family, and to attain this end the peo-
pie, so sensible and level-headed in
many respects, are willing to go any
lengths. A man may even have for his
wife his cousin, his aunt, his STEP
mother and his sister-in-law combined
he doesn't care SO long as he has a
hold on the money. The number of
marriages among first cousins is count
less, and the results APPALLING. How
many idiots there are in the fatherland
l should not like to say. So that he
may keep the money in his family it is
quite common occurrence for an uncle
to marry his niece; and a man will
sometimes wed his brothers widow. In
Bavaria it is, legal for boy to marry at
IA and girl at q.
A soldier may not become a benedict
until he has reached the age of 30-a
most unpopular condition, and one
which causes very disagreeable conse-
quences. I heard of case of man
who married his first cousin. He had
four children, one of whom became a
leper and two of them idiots. Three
committed suicide, the fourth married
her fifth cousin and had an idiot child
In another family the result of an inter-
marriage between cousins was two i'm
beetle out of three children; all three
died young. In one district numbers
of people with dreadfully swollen necks
may be met. In the valleys of the Alps
some of the most deformed idiots on
earth are to be found. They are Gre
tins, and live by begging, the hideous-
ness of their looks bringing them in a
good deal of money from the charitably
disposed. And yet these poor creatures
intermarry and spread the scourge.
The marriage knot does not require any
great effort in breaking it in Germany.
Chronic mutual dislike and incompati-
bility of temper are sufficient reasons
for divorce. Pitts6trg Dispatch.
