A young Polish woman, whose maid
en- name is as unpronounceabie as her
married name, which is Katerouwske,
appeared at the Camden city hall this
morning and asked City Clerk Varney
for divorce. She declared that her
husband had basely deceived her and
that further union with him was q
martial impossibility.
''IIow long have you been married,
madame inquired the clerk
Since yesterday" came the answer.
What has occurred to disturb your
nuptial joy?''
why, my husband told me he had
81, 900 in bank, owned any quantity of
real estate and was going to let me
live in clover. | found on getting home
that if there was any clover pasture
for me I'd have to find it myself. His
stories of bank accounts are fables,
pure and simple, while the real estate
yarn is hollow mockery."
Mrs. Katerouwske was very indig-
nant when told she could not get di.
vorcc outside the chanccry court, which
would not grant such document for
| the reasons detailed by her.
"Humph!" she CALCULATED as she left
the hall, its very funny that the mar
that married me can't unmarry me. -

wings He also travelled in circles
steering himself by the appliance
which will be noticed in the sketch us
a semi circular attachment, doing the
same duty as rudder as that done by
the tail of bird.
To a moderate degree Mr.. Lillienthal
appears now to have accomplished the
aerial movements of the bird, and it
only remains to be seen whether he
can sufficiently perfect his system to
rise to great heights, or to remain
aloft with the same endurance as dc
the creatures designed by nature for
that purpose,
The scientists description of the SEN
sation while sailing through the air is
certainly attractive. He says that the
feeling of motion is entirely lost, SC
easy and free from fatigue is it. The
absence also Of any stationary objects
which would indicate movement in tho
human being, gives the sensation that

Hoy Not to Take Cold.

A little bit Of really valuable advice
for this season of the year: Keep your
mouth shut. If people would only do
this they would avoid colds and coughs,
and ofttimes serious Illness. The pre-
scription is very simple one, and not
even the merit of originality can he
claim for it; but 1t undoubtedly is eff
cacious. Mr.. Catlin, the celebrated
traveller among the North American In
dams, discovered that they were free
from many Of the diseases which afflict
civilized nations,a and he attributed this
exemption to the practice of keeping
their mouths closed at almost all times,
except when they are eating or talking.
The mothers teach the children this
from their earliest infancy. And does
it not stand to reason that it is better
to breathe through the nostrils the chill
| ly air when leaving a heated room for
| the street, or even when going into n
| cold passage, then ktting it go straight
to the lungs in an ordinary way? Mr.
| Catlin declares that shut your mouth
is the most important motto which the
human language can conyey.-National
Educator. .f,-,..t,

Jatlers and Convicts i'm Partncrship.
Two wards Of the Baraset jail, near
Calcutta, have been convicted Of con.
spiracy which has probably no parallel
In the history of criminal prisoners.
These unfaithful guardians Of the cells
conceived the idea Of establishing
profitable partnership with certain
burglars under their charge. To this
end they selected ore night three con-
victs, took them to the warders' quar-
tiers, exchanged their Jail apparel for
| every day clothing, and told them to so
forth and break into the houses in the
locality. The plumber was to be
| brought "home" in the morning for
equal distribution among the parties
concerned, and the convicts were then
to resume their peaceful daily work.
| Fortunately for the interests of society
| the burglars became discontinued with
their share of the spoils and were over.

other warder, who gave information to
the prison authorities. The warders
with whom this audaclously ingenious
scheme originated have been sentenced
to two years rigorous imprisonment
but on appeal their case Is stated tt

sessions, to be dealt with by O jury

until he can now claim, apparently
with some reason, to have achieved
success.
The Lillienthal theory is that birds
do not exercise great power in flying,
but keep atloat in the air by the par
ticular way in which they manipulate
their wings Reasoning upon these
lines, flying machine has been con-
structed upon variety of angles, de-
signed to catch the air in whatever di-
rection it may come or from whatever
quarter.
The affair is built in almost exact
imitation of the wings of bat; the
delicate ribs and body are made of will
low wood, which is tough but light; the
wings are covered with light sheeting,
and when spread they have a circum-
ference of twenty square yards The
entire apparatus weighs forty pounds.
Lillienthal began his trials with the
new flying machine from the summit
of turret which rises forty feet from
the ground. Adjusting the wings as
shown in the accompanying illustra-
ton, and seating himself upon the
skeleton body of the mechanism, which,
unfortunately, must be imagined in
the drawing, as the artist has consid-
cred it SO exceedingly frail as to make 1T
indistinguishable the inventor pushed
himself off from the tower top into
space, as one would push away boat
from the bank Working the wings
with little effort, the man fiuttered
through the air, finally reaching a
height of 200 feet above the surface,
and then descended safely.
After this experiment, which salts
fed him of the practibility of his
theory Mr.. Lillienthal resolved tc
gradually increase the altitude, and
for this purpose he went to the steer
hill of Rhinower, near Rathenow
which rises to an abrupt height of 32l
feet, its side being stony cliff almos
perpendicular. On the top of this hill
he built small tower, making the en-
tire distance from the level $50 feet.
Then he adjusted his flying apparatu
and leaped off, Upon his first trial HI
sank perhaps fifty feet, and then com
menced to rise again until he ha'
reached 1000 feet and then gradual.
fioated down, alighting gently upol
the road.
q Repeating his experiments for sew
eral days, he eventually reached sue
perfection that he was able to stan
still in the air without moving tn

be recognized. In this belief she
found solace, and long and vainly she
cherished it.
Pauline Cushman had brilliancy of
mind as well as beauty of person.
She was kind as brave. Even when
poverty was her lot she helped people
whose distress was greater than her
own. For children her affection was
strong and often manifested. She
was not vain, and she asked of the
government only what others had re-
ceived. All in all her life was one of
sorrow, but if, as the end drew near
there was bitterness in her heart, she
made no plant, and she passed away
bravely as in war time she had pene-
trated the lines of the foe.--San
Francisco Examiner.

The present to the Queen Of lion
and lioness from the Sultan Of Ianzi-
bar reminds us that her good-natured
Majesty must, in her time. have re-
ceived a dozen complete menageries
from her foreign admirers and savage
contemporary rulers. 1t Is not every
body, however, who will frankly accept
the denizens of the forest and wilder
ness as does the Queen. A good story
is told of the late Sultan Burghash and
Sir John Kirk, then oar Consul-General
at the Turkish capital The Sultan had
n very savage chained lion and, as u
happy thought, he offered it to Sir John,
reminding him that the lion formed one
of the supporters OK the Royal Arms
above the gate of the British Consulate,
and thnt the presence of the real brute
would, therefore, be highly appropriate.
Alive to the jest, Sir John quickly cap
ped it and at the same time escaped the
necessity Of accepting such an unpleas-
ant gift. II am sure that your highness
would never make an incomplete pres

able to accompany the lion with uni

Derby's Joke.

Captain Derby, better known to
fame by his literary name, "John
Phoenix" perpetrated a joke which is
one of the classics at West Point.
The Theoretical Journal of the siege
prescribes just what is to be done in
investing fertilization, with the in
variable result-theoretical of course
that the works are obliged to sur
render within certain number of
days. Professor Mahan called upon
Derby to explain how, with a given
number of guns and strength of gar
rison, he would defend fort. 81
would Immediately evacuate the fort
then lay seige to it, and recapture it
in forty-one days" replied Derby. =
