Of Leon Breton.
PARIS, Feb. ia young nan acting
from motives Of revenge exploded a
bomb at 0 o'clock Monday evening in a
cafe beneath the Terminus hotel, which
Ia situated opposite the st. Lazare sta
ton. The place was full Of people and
the widest excitement prevailed. The
bomb had landed on a table, around
which q party had been sitting, and this
room had been reduced to splinters. The
persons grouped at this table suffered the
most. The injured were 10, nearly all
wounded in the legs. Some of them
were badly hurt and they were removed
to . chemist shop nearby, where they
were cared for.
Meantime the miscreant had not been
allowed to escape. He proved to be
Leon Breton, q man Of 30 years, who had
been employed in the cafe rs a waiter,
but had been discharged for misconduct.
A policeman was sitting on the top of
omnibus and saw Breton. He jumped
to the ground and followed him and ran
him to the earth q few yards up the Rue
dc Rome, at a spot opposite the Scossa
restaurant. Breton turned on thu police
man, revolver in hand, and fired a shot
at him. The policeman grabbed him
and both fell. While on the ground
Breton fired another shot ut the police
man and struck a woman who was pass
ing. who fell mortally wounded. In the
meantime u crowd had collected at
tracted by the shots. The policeman
who had grabbed Breton had been badly
wounded by Breton's first shot and was
unable to hold ON to his revolver and the
latter, still brandishing his revolver, re.
gained his feet. The people were furious
and seemed inclined to lay hands upon
him. The sight Of the revolver restrained
them at first, hut finally headed by an
other policeman they rushed forward to
secure him.
Breton again attempted to use his re-
~volver, but the policeman cut him over
the face with his saber, staggering him.
He was then arrested. The mob de-
manded that he he lynched, and they
would have done 80 had not q strong es-
cort of police arrived. He was then e.
corted to the Office Of the commissary of
police on the Rue de Moscow. Five per-
sons who were passing the cafe at the
time of the explosion were injured by
flying fragments Of glass. The bullet re-
ceived by the policeman from Breton's
revolver has been extracted and 1t is
hoped he will recover.
Breton told the doctor who dressed the
wound from the po,iceman's sabre that
hs main object was TO avenge Valiant.

About Onions

Onions are a kind Of all-round
good medicine, and every housewife
knows this without knowing why.
She knows that a solid red onion
eater at bedtime will by the next
morning break the severest cold.
She also knows that onions make a
good plaster to remove inflammation
and hoarseness. But she does not
know why. If anyone would take
an onion and mash it so as to secure
all the juice in it, he would have a
most remarkable smelling substance
that would quiet the most nervous
person. The strength OF it inhaled
for few moments will dull the sense
of smell and weaken the nerves until
sleep is produced from sheer ex-
haustion. 1t all comes from one
property possessed by the onion,aud
that Is form Of opium.

(THE END.)
Woman In the Ascendant.

1t would be harder to say what
women are not doing these days than
what they are doing, for their ambi-
ton has become as boundless as work
itself, and there is hardly an Industry
or a profession, or an Office of any
kind where their persevering presence
cannot be found. Woman has by
her own derserving efforts become
mans competitors, even to the very
threshold of equal rights, and has
enthroned herself within the very
sanctuaTies that were orce sacred to
man alone.
But it must not be through in con-
sequence Of their wider fields that
woman's hand has lost its cunning
for womauly employment and
womanly arts, and that her interest
flags in the very particular sphere of
domesticity, for such is not the case.
Never before in the history of
womankind has her own, exclusive
work received so much attention or
reached such state of perfection.
A visit TO the woman's exchanges
aud decorative art rooms furnishes a
revelation. The tawny machine
work, which is so enticipgly display
ed in our emporiums, would pale
with disgust at the comparison of
dainty needlework, laces, embroid-
cries and linen drawn work
Of every conceivable design and
description here, all done by the
dainty fingers OF woman; exquisite
hand painted china, vases dinner
cards, picture frames, handkerchsifs
boxes and jewel cases; the loveliest
centerpieces, dollies and table scarfs,
embroidered with lifelike clusters OF
violets and wood flowers.

The QUIET HOUSE.

0 Mothers, worn and weary

With never time for pleasure,
With days that have no peace;
With little hands to hinder
And feeble steps to guard,
With tasks that lie unfinished,
Deem not your lot too hard.

Are hidden out of sight,
Where never sound of little feet
Is heard from morn till night;
No tiny hands that fast undo.
That pull things all away,
No baby hurts to pity
AS the quiet days go by.
And she, the sad-eyed mother
What would she give to-day
To feel your cares and burdens,
To walk your weary way?

Could she again but see
The rooms all strewn with playthirgs
And the children round her knee.

rrIA rOanrnER

At tie school meeting. last week. at Casa Grande, Mr. Fletcher N. Doan gave utterance Co a sentiment that comments itself to every resident of this part of the Casa Grande Valley. and that is the interests of Arizola and Casa Grande are identical. and will be best subseryed by pulling to- gether rather than fighting each other.
 Development of the almost illimit- able horticultural and agricultural possibilities of the great Casa Grande Valley will be the potent factor in the growth of the twopIaces, and that development should be fostercd and encouraged in every way possible by the people of both communities. What will tend to the advancement of one community will in the end be an aid to the other, and both towns and the surrounding country will be greatly damaged by withholding any of the legitimate rights of either. In giving each all it's dues there is given every citizen the inducement to do his best for advancement of his home, and all working on that plan, with due encouragement, win bring about a progress all along the line. that cau- not fail to benefit both towns Let all heed Mir. Deans admonition, and pull together.
