TUE FAT woMAN's REFENaa
How she Got Even with the Between Ass

How She Got Even with the Between Acs
Eore.
Apropos OF the thcater. saw some
thing one other night within the last
seven that filled me with totally UNI
holy glee, says writer in the Wash
ington Post. A woman sat in front of
me. She was decidedly plump-ln fact,
she was what Illinois people call corn.
fed. She was bareheaded. too, by the
way. and before the play began and
after every act she had to stand up
and let man who sat near her pass
out. 1t was tight squeeze every time.
and as the man did not say Pardon
me. Beg your leave" or anything
else to show the faith that was in him,
| could see that the tide OF that fat
wOman's wrath was rising until its
crimson edge made the struggling
fringe below her back hair bristle in
dignantly. AT last the play was over
and the man wanted to rush out TO
join two women friends-undoubtedly
he'd have called them lady friends
whom he had noticed near. But did he
rush? Well If he did his rush wasn't
visible to the naked eye. That fat wO-
man sat down and put on her rubberS.
Then she replaced her gloves. which
she had taken off. Then she stood up,
blocking the passage, while she put on
her hat. adjusted her veil. and button
ed her cloak. And all the while the man
was dancing with Impotence. unable
to get out. and the two LADY friends
We're passing out of the door. At last
the fat woman moved. and the man
we'll, inaSmuch as nothing SO much
angers a man as punishment he
knows ne deserves, you can Imagine
how he looked. For my part, Thought
it was delightful, and IL l ever meet
that fat woman | mean TO tell her SO.

A series Of very wonderful expert

Incredible as this may seem, DIR. Luys

crown, which is in reality only a circu-

mead OF a female patient suffering

was the experiment attended that with

Neutrallnine Arsenic vapors.

The counties Of Cornwall and De
Won, in England. are the center of a
thriving arsenic manufacturing in.
dustry. In the process Of production
Of this mineral the arsenical pyrites
are roasted and condensed In long
dues, some of which run for half
mile. Formerly, even with the great
est care. much OF the arsenic would
be uncondepsed, and the escaping
fumes constituted a source of danger
to cattle, many Of which died from
eating grass in the neighborhood ~
the works. The frequent actions for
damages which ensued at last slim
ulated the manufacturers TO remedy
the evil This has been accomplished
by means Of wash towers a dry filter
made of brushwood, gorse, etc, which
is found to arrest almost the whole OF
the arsenic fumes In the escaping
gases. II is recorded that in a test
made without the filter there was as
much as IA grains OF arsenic fumes
I'm cubic foot of the gases passing
into the air, whereas the average Is
now less than 4 OF grain per cubic
foot This result has been FASTENED
by the recent agitation In England In
favor Of puTer air for the people Of
cities and manufacturing districts.
