FEMALE PHILOSOPHER.
How a Young Massachusetts Wife Took
 Her Husbands Desertion.

A young Massachusetts wife was de- serted recently by her husband on the fifth anniyel sary of their mar age. Ee ran away with pretty and s:i,> girl of IS who worked in tie same a!,",' with him. The deserted wife treated ti" I;:at- ter "almost phlosophicafiy.S accrr'. ng to the report of the Boston li.'";lid. She said there had been no di'.tulty be- tween her husband and herself. and that they were ''very agreeable to each other up to the last" But she added: If he is crazy for the girl, all right; want nobody who does not want me-
 It strikes us that this is not almost" but altogether philosophical. Why should any self-respecting woman, or man either, want anybody who does not want them-and not only want them, but prefer them to anybody else in the world? In the savage state, or wherever women are regarded as property or as toys and men as necessary protectors, a different feeling is natural. But civil ized men, and women, too, are frequent ly less sensitive and unselfsh than the noblest brutes.
 It may have been philosophy, or it may have been only pride, but the young Massachusetts wife spoke with unusual fineness of feeling.

Muscular King.

A king with a strong arm is King Carlos of Portugal. Once upon time in the not long ago he went out hunt ing. His horse took fright and rushed headlong down the mountain, down toward frightful precipice. A few yards more and horse and rider would be dashed to pieces. But up rose the king in his stirrups and brought his iron fists down on the poor beasts head with-well-witha whack. The horse dropped as if struck by lightning and the rider was safe.

FLOCK SHOOTING.
Warfare Against the Helpless Carried O,
 in Modern Style.

Warfare Against the Helpless Carried on
 in Modern Style.
 A writer for the American Field tells of shot made from big gun which was fastened to the boat, as all big guns are" and which was loaded with 21a pounds of shot. The shooter ap- preached within shooting distance of a hole. in the ice of the Potomac river. gave a shout, and, as the ducks arose, fired. Il do not remember the ac- count continues, what number he got, but he was shooting cripples for hours, and he sold the result of his shot for $500. What is more, this shot may seem wonderful to some, but many as large shots have been made on the Potomac with big guns"
 Only few weeks ago this same writer was wondering where the ducks had gone. It is to this region of big shots that President Cleveland goes, and there he has blind before which his ducks are lined up to be killed by raking, sitting shots, if this writer is to be believed.
 The big guns are the punt guns for flock shooting, which are much in favor with English shooters.

AN ENGINEERS LUCK.
Locates a Ledge of Free Gold from His
 Cab Window.

J. Bowlan, an engineer in the employ
 of the Burlington Railroad company, recently made good ore find" in a curious manner. His route is over the line which runs through the. very
 heart of the Black Hills. On his trips up and down the road he noticed at a point two oT three miles north Of Koch ford ledge that cropped out at the sur face near all open cut. He finally be- came convinced that the appearance of the rock bore striking resemblance to some rich ore he had previously seen in another part of the Black Hills. He told a practical miner named Pete Nelson of his discovery and induced him to lo- cate the ground, agreeing that if Nelson did this he would let him in as an equal partner. Nelson accordingly located the property under the rcme of the Olga group, taking up four claims in the location. \ sample was secured from the ledge and taken to an assGyer. After testing the ore in the customary chemi- calls. what was at first supposed by the assayer to be iron pyrites proved to be free gold in large deposits through the rock. The owners are jubilant over their good fortune, and have already refused good offer for an interest.

CHlLDREN'S BRAINS.
In Weight Girls Are Ahead at First, But
 Boys Win in the End.


 Boys Win in the End.
 A curious difference in the increase in brain weight of boys and girls is noted by Prof. Donaldson, of the Chi cago university, who has just written book on the Growth of the Brain" says the New York World. Boys and girls start out equally in this respect. and until they arrive at the age of 19 years the progress in this respect is about equal, allowance, of course, be- ing made for the difference in body weight between the two sexes.
 After 12 the girl shoots ahead of the boy and her brain grows more rapidly until she reaches the age of 15, when the brain growth practically stops, whereas, in the case of boys, it con- tinues to increase in weight until the age of 25. These statistics may con- tain some hints for the new woman in the development of her theories.
 In the opinion of Dr. Donaldson, brain weight is not, however, any true measure of education or of intelligence. and he attaches no importance to the frequently-cited brain weights of emi- nent persons. It is, nevertheless, fact that the brains of more intellectual people, relatively to their body weight, are heavier than those of less intellect ual people,

MUCH AFFLICTED.
An Indiana Man Who Was Unfortunate
 in All He Undertook.

Lanson Sunny, of Clunnette, who recently died, during his life was a sin gularly afflicted man. Twenty years ago, says a Kendallville letter to the Fort Wayne Gazette, he was prostrated with heart trouble, eventually recov- ering. Afterward, while felling tim Der, tree caught and crushed his leg, breaking the bone eight times be- tween the knee and ankle. This left him, after a long disablement, only partially recovered. While hauling logs a splinter struck him in the eye, injuring that member quite severely. A physician was called, who proved to be intoxicated, and who left caustic instead of lotion to be applied to the hurt The caustic destroyed the eye entirely
 Still later on he was the victim of an accident which left him badly ruptured. and in 1884 his collar bone was badly fractured, and the ieadjustment was so imperfect that it had to be broken three times before i;. would properly rcunite. Then, again, he attempted to assist in raising barn, and a glanc ing blow from an ax wielded by a work man struck him in the back, again sending him to bed for months. Then he was seized with sciatic rheumatism. because of which his sufferings were terrible, and scarcely was he convales- cent before he was afflicted with ca tarrh of the hand, laying him up the en- tire season and resulting in the loss of a part of one thumb. MT. Sunny finally died a natural death. contrary to general expectation.

But, notwithstanding they are now in the city itself, there are few lots for sale yet at prices corresponding with the "Sound Money Doctrine" of President Cleveland and his cuckoos, which means that kind of a dollar which will buy two dollars worth of property. These lots are near the new elec- tric car line which is now in operation. The
 lots are in the city and their occupants do not need to ride into town, but the presence |of electric street cars is popular and adds market value to the property. Inside of five years this will be business property. Buy lot now for a residence and when business crowds you out the rents will SUD-
 port you in house outside in some addition where you can keep horse and drive into
 town and collect your rents. Terms, cash } in one year, } in two years at 10 per cent interest.

missioners have 1t within their discretion
airy power to bring any delinquent street
railway to terms by the force Of this stat
ute. There should be no tenporizing In the
present case when the time comes but the
alternative should be promptly offered to
the company to pay it's just debt or to sub
nit to foreclosure. 1t appears that the
bulk of the certificates now outstanding
will fall due January Is next, and involve
an obligation to pay about $4,000. The
other debts for paving amount to less than
$500. some of this being far in arrears.
Thus the right to foreclose will not exist,
except to satisfy a comparatively small
sum. until over a month hence
The territory supplied by the line is large
enough to warrant a rapid transit connec-
ton with one or the other of the main
trunk systems in town and under fore
closure proceedings nearly possible the
franchise, if offered for SALE would per-
haps be regarded by these urban companies
as of sufficient value to warrant their close
attention. 1t does not seem that the pres
ent owners of the road will be able to meet
the demand for rapid transit facilities, es-
pecially in view of their inability to liqui
Gate small paving debt, and probably the
best way to solve the problem would be a
change of owners that will ensure a COM
pliance with the public requirements. 1t
might be profitable for the present COM
pany to anticipate a public sale under fore
closure proceedings by making a private
bargain and recoup in part, at least. the
losses they have unquestionably sustained
as result of their failure to meet modern
conditions. The people of Anacostia have
been disappointed by the lack of results
from the act Of May % last which so
amended the franchise of the Capital Rail-
way Company as to promise practically
immediate relief from the horse-car nui-
sance. Not stroke of work, it now ap-
pears, has been done although the act re-
quired commencement by August %. A
faint prospect of relief comes now from an
unexpected quarter.

1t is stated at the White House that while
the President has frequently expressed a
desire to see many of the places of interest
in Europe. and is not averse to extending a
Journey to the far east. he has never seri-
ously considered any such trip, nor are the
chances now favorable to it. Mr. CIeye-
land, it Is asserted. will resume the prac-
tice of law in New York after March !,
and possibly will be a member of the same
firm with which he was associated for four
years. His legal and actual residence will
be, as during the administration of Gen.
Harrison. in New York city, with a sum
mer home at Buzzard's Bay, and he has no
intention now of residing elsewhere
