HEROINE OF THE TELEGRAPH.
How French Girl Outwitted the Ger
mans During the War of 1870.

In the Franco German war of 1870 TIN
Uhlans in particular played havoc wit.
she French wires. On arriving at q vii
lago they would rido up to tho telegraph
Office, cut the connections and carry OF
tho apparatus or else employ it to deceive
the enemy. They were outwitted, how
ever, on one occasion, and by woman
Mile Juliettc Dolu, a girl Of Is, was di
rector of the telegraph station at Pithi
yiers, where shc lived with her mother,
when the Prussians entered the town
They took possession of the station, and.
turning out the two women, confined
thom to their dwelling on higher floor
1t happened that the wiro from the Office
in running to the pole on the roof passed
by the door of the girls room, and she
conceived the idea of tapping the. Prussial
messages. She had contrivod to keep &
telegraph instrument, and by means of Z
derivation from the wire was ablo TO carr.
out her purpose Important kilograms
were thus obtained and secretly commu
nieatod to tho subprefect of the town, wht
conveyed them across the Prussian lines
TO the French commander.
Mile. Dndu and her mother were boil
arrested, and the proofs of their guilt wert
soon discovered. They were brought be
fore n court martial and speedily con
delnned to death, but the sentence had tt
be confirmed by the commander of the
corps d'armeo, Prince Frederick Charles,
who, having spoken with Mile. Dodu or
several occasions, desired her to be pro
duced. Ho inquired her motive in com
hitting so grave breach of what are
colled the laws of war" The girl re
Piled ".Je suis Franchise" Il am French
woman).
The prince confirmed the sentence, but,
happily, before 1t was executed the news
of the arlnistice arrived and saved her life
In 1873 tho Geographic heroine was IL
charge of the postoilice at Montreuil, neal
vinccnnes, and tho 18th of August SHE
was decorated with the legion of honor by
Marshal MacMahon, president of the re
public. -Philadelphia Times.

DisraeIi Mt Home.

Hardly week passed in which did not
dine with him and Mrs Disraeli. Ills
dinners were small, not ovorgCod, but al
ways gay and amusing-not that he was
himself Mt all brilliant in conversation
On the contrary, he was generally silen5
unless there was an opening for some cpl
grammatic or paradoxicnl or startling OBJ
servation. Though bitterly sarcastic If it
suited his purpose, he was far from being
cynical from nature. On the contrary, he
was remarkably placable, and, though he
had few strong dislikes, he had many
strong friendships. Disraeli was eminent
ly Bohemian, imaginative, without par
ticle of belief in anything, totally unpriB
cipled-I do not use the word in an often
sive sense, but as being devoid of all prin-
ciples of policy. That he was a man OF
immense talent not even his greatest en-.
envy can deny, but even !, his personal
friend, must confess that from HIS en-
trance into public life until his last hour
he lived and died charlatan. - Autobi
ography of Sir William Gregory.

SELL SECONDHAND NEWSPAPERS.
How Trainmen on City and Suburban Lines
Help OCT Their Monthly Salaries.

Owing no doubt to the large and omen
handed style of living which characterizes
the American, there is very little regular
traffic in secondhand magazines in this
country and practically mono in second
hand newspapers so far as the general pub
lie is concerned. In England great many
people are regular subscribers to second
hand papers, and the business is so impor-
tant that one concern finds it sufficiently
profitable to quote its prices for ''read"
copies of the leading London dailies at
considerable length in The Times.
In Chicago, although nobody is willing
to wait few hours for his news in order
to save few cents, the business of selling
secondhand newspapers is carried on
pretty extensively, owing to tho exchange
privilege allowed by the papers to railroad
nows agents and to the ncwsboys. Tho
brakcmen on the suburban trains, tho
guards on the elevated roads and tho con
ductors ON the street cars gather up tho
castoff papers on their trains at the end
of every run Tho street railway conduct
or, as a rule, has no market for his papers,
and after giving the gripmcn and the mon
in the barn all they want to while away
idle moments he destroys tho rest. but
LuSii o1i tHO anu wv
elevated roads dispose of their surplus to
the news agents on the trains in the case
of the suburban roads and mt the stations
in case of the elevated. For a 2 cent paper
the agent pays cent, and for the l cent
papers Is cents for 80 II the news agent
gets them early in the day, he can resell
many of them. II there is some big piece
of news in tho market, he has no trouble
in disposing of all he can get up till noon.
Those he doesn't sell he can exchange
within "a hours for new ones of the next
issue, so that he cannot lose by the trans
action, no matter what the condition of
the market may be.
This extra money, If the paper collector
is lucky, amounts to several dollars in the
course of the month. One of tho curios.
tiles of the business is the fact that tho
conditions which make business lively for
the news agent make it dull for the paper
collector and vice versa. If the weather is
stormy, more papers are sold by the agent,
because people expect to be kept indoors
more and to have fewer Interruptions from
visitors, but for the same reason they arc
less apt to leave their papers in the car
seat. During cold snap the trainmen
have rather slim picking comparatively,
and the same thing is true on rainy and
stormy days in the summer time.-Chi-
cago Tribune.

Now don't say | am humbug until
you investigate me, as ! am the only doc
tor in the United States that doctors as |
DO. can do moro in removing disease
IN live minutes than medicine can do in
five months. You should consult me and
l will tell you at once what your disease
is and whether it is durable or not
/ have yet to make my first mistake in
the diagnosis of a disease.
And l wish to impress on your mind
first that ! give no medicine second that
l am not u magnetic doctor, as l do no
rubbing; third, that the flesh is not heir
to any disease that is durable, that lean
not remove and permanently cure by my
healing powers by very few treatments
often by one fourth, do not think my way
of treating is new, for / am the only per
son known in the United States that has
the healing power, and for the past seven
teen years have | been treating the people
only in New England, yet not single
case has ever gone back to its former
course before my treatment; fifth, do
not claim l can cure every one, but l can
tell you in an instant perfect diagnosis
of your case If I cannot cure you |
will tell you so at once; if / can l will
prove it to you, that all say is true and
more too. Sixth, that my headquarters
the past four summers have been at Hotel
Hesleton, Skowhegan, Maine, known by
every one rs not only one of the finest
hotels in Maine but in New England:
where all letters and kilograms should be
addressed to me, and if the doctors have
given you up write to me at Hotel Hcsel-
ton, Skowhegan, Maine or call on me on
the above date.
All want you to do is to call on me
and | will tell you of over Five Hundred
people in Maine alone that have been
cured by me- and of over Eleven Hun
dred in or near the City of Boston /
will give you their addresses and they
will gladly testify to all say if you take
the trouble to write them. Remember
these people are right round and about
you, and you can easily verify what |
say to be true, as to what l have done for
them.

WILLEBE AT THE
REMEMBE4.

He does not claim he can cure everyone
or everything but out Of over five hun
bred people who have been treated by Or
COWAN at Hotel Hcseltop, there arc not
five per cent in the whole lot but have
been helped or cured by him. Do not take
his word, but write to W. p Tyler, As
Sargent ST., Weston, Mass, f. NJ. Bragg,
Waterville, Maine, Eta Stearns, VIM.
Creighton, Horace Barton, or any of the
above people. Call and see the Letters
DIR. COWAN has from people he as
cured.
One great question is, are DIR. COW
ANS cures lasting or will the disease
come back to a person in short time?
He would refer you to any Of the above
named people. Every one of them have
been treated by DIR. COWAN, some as
long as ten years ago.
Patients who have used Clutches for
years. have been enabled by my treatment
to move about the house without the
aid of Clutches, within one hour after the
first treatment have been at the Hotel
Heselton for the past four summers, hun
dreds of patients have visited me there
from all parts of this County; write them
and have them tell you what DR.. Cowan
has done for them. j am the only doctor
in the United States that l know of that
removes the cause of disease. If you are
a skeptic you will only have to see one of
my treatments to satisfy your mind that
can do all and more than Isay / lean do.
II you have inflammation, it is not rea-
sonable to take drugs to remove it, and
then If you recover is the cause of the
disease removed? Not much! 1t is in
your system just the same, and is liable
to make you sick at any time, as you arc
not entirely well. Now don't say a l am
a fraud without investigation, as / have
hundreds of living witnesses that know
of my cures right in this city; il you
are not sick send this paper to some one
that is suffering, and you will do them
and me favor.
The names will be given to you of
many persons, too numerous to mention
here, that have cured of all kinds of
diseases.

Tho Game of Clotshot.

Two players on each side have to play
alternately with ono ball. One village has
ball No. and the other ball No .. These
balls are az inches in diameter and in
weight are / 4 pounds. The material IL
Of hard wood root, and lead is poured into
six holes. of which every two face each
other This lead makes the ball q 1irsj
class missile, and the smooth surface o.
tho hard wood let's it quit the fingers caSily
when the throw is made. Now, what il
tho object of this throwing? 1t is simply
to get as far as possible down the appoint
cd course. You have to walk for an hour
at least and back again. He who can cover
the distance with fewcst throws wins.
] would like to see good English
cricket ball thrower contend at this game
with these Germans. In each case q man
who can throw 100 yards is a very good
throwor. The Germans, in throwing, 60
through an amount of acrobatic contortion
and lcaping that ! have never seen prac-
ticed at baseball or cricket ball throwing
But the Germans are very accurate. cha
great point with them is to cast the mis-
silc so that it shall continue after touching
the ground to go on The ball, therefore,
SHOULD be thrown as low rs possible, 50
that it may have force to bound and roll
onward when it alights.-Good Words.

those who do not share in the widespread
superstition that Friday is the most I'm

resources for accurate deductions, deter
mined to make a scientific Investigation
of the Friday superstition. As result OF
his exhaustive labors he has given the
world a book of queer tables and figures,
which proves that it is Monday, and NOT
Friday. that is tho most fatal or uniortu-
