Heron Won the Match.

The much talked of shooting match
between M. Z. Fritzinger, of Freeland
and Patrick Heron, of Milnesville, took
place in the field near the old Woods ide
breaker yesterday. Over 1000 people
were on the grounds when the contes.
tants began to shoot, and for three hours
excitement was. kept at high pitch.
The match was for $500 side, and each
was to shoot at eleven birds. Each kill
ed two trial birds, and this, with the fine
practice they had been doing, induced
their friends to put out their money
freely. Herron's shooting was of the
phenomenal order. The score was as
follows:

Melon Industrf Suffering.

ATLANTA, July 3.-Georgias melon in
dustry is suffering seriously from the tie
mp of the western roads. Chicago is the
best distributing point the melon growers
have. Now they cannot get a carload of
melons into the western market. The
railroads have stopped taking them for
shipment. This cuts the roads out of a
large item of revenue AMI causes a heavy
loss to the farmers VINO grow the crop ex-
clusively.

4 llooh Friday Cnstom.

Among the many quaint rites and old-fashioned ceremonies once proper to Passion week. most have now van- ished away, but some yet remain. A Good Friday custom. said by authorities to be the oldest extant, is yet left us, and the picturesque function was duly celebrated recently in the ancient parish of St. Bartholomew the Great. Upon a tombstone in the churchyard were set out twenty new sixpenny pieces, and by the side of each bag of hot cross buns and an Easter card. Then, unto the buns and silver. there marched in procession twenty vener- able, godly widowed women of the parish. each to become richer by a share of the matters spread upon the tombstone. 1t is to be noted in con nection with this old usage that no be quest originally instituted it. Indeed, it's origin is now buried in the mists of a far past Nevertheless, to a bequest it owes it's present vitality, for not very long ago Mr. ]. W. Butterworth, F. $. A.. the celebrated antiquary and stu dent of folklore, invested sum sui ffcient to perpetuate the Good Friday dole at St. Bartholomew the Great for all time. and twenty deserving widows of that parish are. therefore, certain tc enjoy sixpences and buns at least once year as long as the world wags.-- Black and White,

 To this apparent dearth of famous miracles in Eliza bethan England there is on record one very notable excep- tion. At critical moment of the re- ligious conflict G585-15s6) there was manifested group of phenomena in connection with the casting out of devils which has been hailed by Catho- lie historians as shedding luster upon the fame of their martyrs, and adding new glories to the Roman church. The prodigies in question were per formed in the light of day, in the neighborhood of London, in the houses of noblemen and distinguished Cath olics-at Lord Naux's al Hackney. at the earl of Iincoln's in Cannon Row, at Fulmer and Uxbridge and above all in Sir George Peckham's house at Den ham, in Bucks.
 The exereists to whom the credit was given were dozen or more of the best known missionary priests. among whom were several who in virtue of the recent decree of Leo XIII. are now hon. ored with the title of venerable mar tyrs. Their leader or conductor in the affair was Father William Westen. su- perior of the Jesuits, or rather at that moment the only known Jesuit in En- gland. and afterward notorious for the part he played in the famous Wisbeaeh "Stirs; while the most active of his co-operaters was the venerabl Robert Dibdale who was hanged at Tyburn the sth of Octo- Der, 1886. They were assisted by John Cornelius, a covert. Or secret Jesuit. and Mr Yaxley, both after ward enrolled among the martyrs: by Ballard, a seminary priest, not mar tyr, but executed for complieity in the Ba abingdon Plot; by Christopher Thules, WHO became prominent as one or the Appellant priests; by Antony Tyr rell, who, after changing his religion two or three times, became for many years an Anglican clergyman, and by several others.
 The manifestations continued from first to last for about eighteen months, and from October, 1885, to June 1886, were of almost daily occurrence. The witnesses were numerous and in high position. On one occasion there drove up to the Denham house to see the miracles five coaches full of gentlemen. Nineteenth Century

Types of VOluptuOus Beauty, but Fat and
 Gross at Thirty.
 The very best word-picture of an Ar genuine girl that l have ever seen, true to life, though rather fiowery. says Buenes Ayres correspondent is as fol- lows:
 Imagine brunette of fifteen or six teen, developed to a precocious maturi- ty. An erect figure of medium height but spendidly proportioned, with bust that would make Lord Lytton's flat ehested heroines green with envy; proud and graceful carriage. face of perfect oval; spotless complexion, with slight tinge of Creole blood that ina parts to the cheeks the hue of the damask rose. The eyes are large. dark and lustrous. fringed by long, silken lashes, and oyer-arched by eyebrows which. with the night of her hair, makes the white forehead look like alabaster; small and delicately chis- eled nostrils that dilate neryously at every inspiration: teeth so white and regular that to catch glimpse of them through the arch of smile is won der at natures perfection-the only fault of the beautiful face and sensuous lines that surround the full red lips, symbols of passionate nature.
 Imagine the face in its frame of soft black hair, surmounted by white hat of the most coquettish fashion, on which real flowers repose and living firetlies gleam: and that lithesome fig ure retired in crush of some soft tex 
 known only to the Worths of Paris and Madrid. with the sparkle of diamond here and there or glimmer of dull gold; and imagine the whole being instinct with the grace and vivacity of early youth, and you have the complete DOT trait of an Argentine girl.
 But with all these charms that dazzle the eye and captivate admiration, there seems to be something lacking on closer acquaintance-perhaps because the yo- luptuous style does not appear to the sonl like the more spiritual beauty of the Saxon maiden-that where the senses only are fed they become satiated after a time. like one on steady diet of sweets unfortunately, these charm ing creatures are universally addicted to the rouge-pot and powder-puff to such an extent that the real woman appears to be in total eclipse under drifts of white and daubs of red. And, as with the gentler sex in all southern countries, their beauty wanes at an early age. While women of colder climates and colder temperaments are at their prime at thirty-fve or forty, the Portena's golden age is between the years of fifteen and seventeen. At twenty five, or sooner if married, she is quite passe and metaphoriea1ly laid on the shelf A tendency to corpulence is encouraged by indolent habits and excessive indulgence in the hesh-pots; and at middle age many of them de- velop hirsute appendages that are the envy of the beardless youths delphia Record.

 At Yoshino 1 found little suite of rooTas built in the garden away from the rest of the house, and at once en- gagged them, in happy anticipation of quiet nights These isolated rooms have some disadvantages. such as hay ing to get to the bath and back on wet nights, but very short acquaintance with life in tea-house makes the traveller disregard such trifing ineon- veniences for the certainty of peaceful sleep. The Japanese wanderers usually finish their days journey about five in the afternoon, and, after the pre- liminary cup of tea discard their travel stained clothes dor the clean kimono which every well-regulated tea-house supplies to it's guests, then bathe in water as near the boiling-point as possible, eat their dinner, sit talking and smoking till midnight, spore till five o'clock In the morning, and then begins the chatter of taking down shutters and the elaborate business of tooth clean Ing and tongue-scraping, with an ac- compartment of complex noises sug- gesting sea-siclkness in it's worst stages so 1t IS not till they have departed at six or seven o'clock that light sleeper gets much chance. In the daytime the tea-house is deserted, except by the proprietor, who sits in the front room and does his accounts, and by the little servant girls, who with their heads tied up in towels, kimono tucked into their Obi, and sleeves fastened back. show ing good deal of round brown leg and arm, busily sweep and dust the rooms in preparation for the new set of visitors who will arrive in the evening The thin sliding partitions would be nttle bar to sound even if they reach to the top of the room. and above them there is generally foot or so of open " woodwork, which allows free ventilation and conversation between the different apartments. Privacy, as we understand it, is no part of the scheme of Japanese tea-house. Real fresh air from outside is very difficult to get at night During the hot wealth CT l was always careful to examine the fastenings of the wooden shutters with which. after dark, every house is en- closed like Q box, so that I could sur feptltlously open crack opposite my room, although by so doing l was diso- heylng the police regulations.

WHY CHOLERA KILLS.

Generation of the Deadly Nitrate by the
 Bacillus.
 When an adventurous scientist de clared that he had swallowed any amount of cholera cultures without in- jury. there was good deal of incred- ulous head-shaking, and while the doubters could not really dispute the statements made. they insisted that there must be something behind it all; for if cholera baccilli were really them selves and nobody else. why didn't the man die? And now it appears that it isn't the well-bred, properly-eonducted bacillus that does the mischief, but a substance that they manufacture from the contents of the human interior where they take up their abiding place. The bacilE proceed to form what is known as ditrite. most deadly poi son. This substance is by the baccilli generated from many vegetables, es- pecially eaulihower, lettuce, beets and turnips. Meat contains but limited amount of convertible material, hence the prevailing idea that vegetables are to be eaten with prudence during cholera seasons, while meat in small quantities and Indian corn, barely and the like are much safer articles of diet. 1t is further asserted that there are other bacteria found in the intestiness of men and animals that are capable of generating nitrites. but that the ehol- era bacillus produces over forty thou sand times more thanany other creat- ure. If there is no suitable substance found by the cholera bacilli upon which to work. they form latte and other acids, but these rarely cause serious ills. They sometimes give rise to what is known as cholerine. which frequently prevails to a considerable extent during epidemics of cholera N. Y Ledger
