Interesting Career.

BOSTON, Jan. Further investiga-
ton into the case Of Mrs. Davidson, of
San Francisco, charged with wrong
doing by Rev. Charles O. Brown, of
that city, brings to light the fact that
Mrs. Davidson did once live in Boston,
and thai she had an interesting career
in which she managed to get consider
able money from n person before she
left the city. in 1890 n 1891 Mrs.
Davidson was a member Of Rev.
Nehemiah Boyton's congregation at
the Union church, and later became a
prominent member of fremont Temple
congregation. All that time she was
peddling starch and by her eloquence
she sold a large stock with good
profits.
She had nan friends. among whom
vas Mrs. Sarah J. Stevens. an old lady
about so years OF age, who became
deeply interested in Mrs. Davidson and
her alleged religious work.
Mrs. Stevens had considerable money
invested in bonds and when these We're
called in and paid Mrs. Davidson learn
ed Of the amount of ready cash held
by her friend and persuaded Mrs.
Stevens to loan her $500 on a note at
4 per e n to enable Mrs. Davidson to

note vas payable in ten years. Soon
afterwards, wanting more money, she
persuaded Mrs. Stevens to loan her
$1,000 more. also on a ten years note.
but this time at 8 per cent.
BAD TUSCO.
Mrs. Davidson went to Chicago In
1893. and from there to San Francisco.
Her PAYMENTS on the interest on the
notes. it is said. have been few and
far between. In connection with deal
ings with Mrs. Stevens and appeals
for remittances she has written very
doWery letters.
The following is an abstract from
one of them:
"Of course. I cannot be unmindful Of
my obligations to dear Mrs. Stevens.

Tho Indy and the Cyclist.

A lady protected herself against the
rushing advance Of a cyciist i'll Bromp-
ton road, London, iii original and COM
mendable fashion. The Telegraph of
that city describes how the cyclist was
racing along at his best pace and the
lady was crossing the roadway Instead
of making derour 10 avoid her, the
man simply rang his hell and rushed Oh
without abatement Of speed, considering
that he had thus done his duty to soci-
ETY.. Pedestrians OH tie footpaths and
busmcn on their percbes saw that a
collision WIS inevitable. So did the
lady, who bracod herself for the ordeal
and resolved Oh offensive tactics Civ
ing her body-not by'any means that Of
a pygmy-a rapid swing, she brought
the strongest and most padded part of
her figure into contact with the front
wheel of tie machine and the bicyclist
himself and sent them both sprawling
into the roadway. Then, giving her
skirts another swing, just to prove that
they had suffered no damage, she fin
ished her journey across the road and
turned round and laughed with others
at the unhappy cyclist rs he picked up
himself and the disjecta membra Of his
once perfect machine. He made his way
to the curbstone. where he sat down to
contemplate the damage, and finally he
put the thing OH his shoulder and car

wAsHlNeToN's MARRIED LIFE.

Mrs. WaslinCton's Mother Scarce Contrib
uted to the harmony of the Household.
"There is every reason to believe that
Washington S married lifew one Of in
creasing happiness and satisfaction, "
writes General A W. Greedy, U. S. A,
in The Ladies Home Journal. "Unfor-
tunately his letters to his vito were de-
stroyed by her. But there are sufficient
illusions iii his general correspondence
to indicate that they grew together with
declining years, and that both husband
and wife showed that consideration to-
ward and respect for each other which
are the soundcst guarantee Of marital
happiness. Stree circumstances did not
permit frequent visits of his wife to her

her mother to come to Mount Vernon as

LIE PROVED The OMEN.

A Sailors Supcrstitious Prediction oil DiS-
nster Followed by His Own Death.
"Spcaking of sailors superstitions, "
remarked tie veteran lighthouse keeper
Josh Reeves of Sea Isle City, reminds
me of all incident that happened half
century ago off the Five Fathom Bank
Hghtship, in which Il sailors prediction,
based ON an omen, resulted fatally to
the prophet himself.
"a bright winter morning had caused
the crew of the lightship to row short
distance away in small boat in search
of Goldfish, which are very abundant Oft
the capes il winter time. A few hours
fishing resulted i'll goodly catch and a
return was made to the lightship. The
fish were cleaned and the refuse thrown
overheard, but a calm sea, with not a
breath Of air to disturb it, caused the
refuse to drift in circle around the
shin. Toward noon large flock OF geese
came in sight and settled under the
liuhtship's very bows and commenced
TO feed. The waterfowl became very
tamo aud swan chattering and Kissing
close 10 the ships sides.
"Josh Croweli, a grizzled old men,
Der Of the crew, shook his head and pre-
dicted death to some one on board with

geese became so tame as to feed around
a vessels bow or stern, it was an un-
failing ONION of impending death on
board Crowell's companions laughed
at his fear, but he told them to bide
their time.
"Towarl noon a strong gale came out
Of the nor'east and kicked up heavy
sea. Crowell was Oh the forward or bow
watch.
"Many of tho crew were in the main
cabin below enjoying social game OF
euchre, checkers or dominos, when
suddenly they heard tho sound of chain
running rapidly through the starboard
bow scuppers. We rushed on deck Ill
dismay, thinking the windlass gearing
had given way The sight witnessed
will never be forgotten. Crowell had
been caught in the relief chain and
ground around the rapidly revolving
windlass. His death was instant. His
omen came true. New York Herald.

Aluminium Bronze.

A rule or two is given in The Alumni
ium World in regard to obtaining the
best castings with aluminium bronze,
in order to avoid the difficulties which
are so frequently met with in melting.
An essential point mentioned is the spe-
cial care to be taken not to overhead the
metal, the fact being that, if it be heat
ed to too high temperature, the alu-
minimum will oxidize, the oxide which
is thus formed making the entire casting
what artisans term "dirty," and the
metal will also be spongy from the pres
ence of large amounts of .cluded gases.
The scum, too, which floats Oh top of
the melted bronze in the crucible must
be prevented from going into the body
of the casting, this being practicable by
providing the casting with suitable skim
gates. The greatest trouble in making
bronze castings, however, arises from
the shrinkage of the metal, which is
very great-a difficulty which is over
come if the casting have large sinking
head and "risers," it being necessary,
however, in many cases to make the
sinking head fully as large as the cast
ing.

Lilienthal, the Filler.

One Of the best known and most skill
full fiers is German named Lilienthal,
who, after years of study and trials,
made in the summer of 1891 pair Of
WINGS curved like grcat birds. AS the
result of his studies and experiments
he believes curved surfaces better than
fiat planes, in which he agrees with LIE
Bris, Goupil and Phillips, other students
of the srh;;ect. All these men believe
that the CT ed shape of birds wings
has much to do with their flying, help
ing them to go against the wind-a
strange effect which the French have
named aspiration. "
Provided, then, with wings and tail,
Lilienthal began to practice, at first
upon spring board, and afterward in
a billy region near Berlin Even after
he was able to sail as far as so feet, he
found that it was best to.arrange the
wings SO that they could be easily
thrown Off Otherwise, he coolly says,
"I might have had a broken neck in
stead Of sprains which always healed in
a few weeks"
In 1892 he made larger wings, and
learned to sail farther than before, ris-
ing 20 or 30 feet from the ground upon
q favoring wind. Since then Lilienthal
has attached to his wings powerful
little engine, and he is now making at
tempts to learn its management. Just
what he has done is not known yet but
he has fewer accidents and improves as
time goes on.-Tudor jerks i'll st. Mich

THE FACE IN ILLNESS.
To the Trained Eye 1t Quickly Shows .
Patients Condition.

To the Trained Eye 1t Quickly Shows .
Patients Condition.
The face is good index to the state
of ones physical being, and from it
symptoms of disease can be detected al
most before the patient is aware that
anything serious is the matter with him.
For instance, incomplete closure Of the
eyelids, rendering the whites of the eyes
visible during sleep, is a symptom in
all acute and chronic diseases of a Sc
we're type. 1t is also to be observed
when rest is unsound from pain wher-
ever seated.
Twitching of the eyelids. associated
with the oscillation of the eyelids, or
squirting, heralds the visit of convul-
sions.
Widening of the orifces of the nose,
with movements of the nostrils to and
fro, point to embarrassed breathing from
disease of the lungs or their plural in
vestment
Contraction of the brows indicates
pain in the head. Sharpness of the nos
trils, pain in the chest and drawn up
per lip, pain in the abdomen.
To make a general rule it may be
stated that the upper third Of the face is
altered in expression in affections of the
brain, the middle third in the diseases
of the organs contained in the abdom-
inal cavity.-Trained Nurse.

WHAT A BULLDOG DID.
Bear Was Small Game For This Partic.
ular Canine.


There were five officers from Fort
Reno and four from Fort Kearney, and
seven or eight citizens from the east who
had come out for hunt, and we had
pitched our camp on the eastern base of
the Big Horn mountains, at the head
waters of Clear Fork river. One Of the
civilians, who hailed from Boston, had
brought along his bulldog, and though
he was guyed and ridiculed hundred
times over he insisted that the dog
should be taken along on the hunt.
"You just waltz he replied to all sar-
castle remarks. II want to see him
tackle bear, and if he gets chance to
it's dollars to cents that he comes out
ahead"
One day six of US went off up the
mountain, and the owner Of the bulldog
was one of the party. His dog was Mt
his heels, as matter Of course, but as
we were out for the climb more than in
expectation of sighting game no one OBJ
jected. We had reached a point thou
sand feet above camp and directly over
it when big cinnamon bear which had
been snoozing alongside of rock start
ed up with "woof!' Before any one
had scarcely got sight of him or realized
what sort of game it was the bulldog
rushed forward and tackled him, getting
a tail hold.
"Stu-boy Hang to himl Now's
your show!" yelled the man from Bos-
ton, and the bulldog got death grip.
Old cinnamon hadn t his nerve with him
that day, and the first move he made
was down hill. At his first plunge ne
started a good sized bowlder from Its
bed, and 100 feet down he dislodged
great mass of earth. That was the start
of an avalanche Earth, rocks, trees and
powders began to move, and strip 300
feet wide went booming down into the
valley. The men in camp heard and saw
it in time to escape, but it swept away
every tent we had and filled the bed of
the creek 30 feet deep with debris.
"Not an ounce of provisions, cook
ing utensil nor &sblanket was saved.
Where our camp had stood was a mass
Of earth and rock Is feet deep. We got
down as soon as possible, and men were
sent off to Reno to bring back new
outfit. No one ever expected to see that
bulldog again, of course, but three hours
later he walked in among US as if moth
ing had happened and hadn't go much
as a scratch on him. We looked and
looked, but no one spoke for two or
three minutes. Then the man from Bos-
ton suddenly remarked:
"'I told you he'd get away with
bear, bat L wasn't SO sure about an ava
lanche. I've raised his price to So, 600,

A DAY IN BED.
An Experiment That Few Healthy People
Lave Time OF Disposition to Try.


One often hears somebody say with
glee that he is going to take day off
or II day i'll the country or a day on the
river, but seldom if ever that he is go
ing to take day in bed, and yet day
go spent when one really needs day Off
is one which deserves red letter record
in his history, according to a writer IN
the Pittsburg Times. One lies late Of
Sunday mornings and tells what lux
ury it is hot to have to get up at the
usual hour, but one never knows the
glory of such thing till he spends
whole day i'll bed. To enjoy it one must
not be sick nor pretend to be. He must
be in fairly good health and free from
trouble Or worry of any sort. Then he
is entirely himself, and it is the only
place i'll which he can be.
AS soon as he dresses he comes under
restraint, not merely physical, but
mental, for no one can wholly escape
the influence Of his clothes, whether
they be good or bad, in fashion or out.
For ages character has been identified
with clothes and will be for ages, in
spite of all that has been or will be said
against it. One may not always be con-
scious of the influence, but it exists all
the same. Not trace of it is felt when
one is in / 3D. There he is free. He can
twist and roll and kick and throw his
arms about as he will. If he should do
the like elsewhere, there would be sus-
picion of his sanity. A day i'll bed is
not day of rest merely, but of liberty
He has the infinite for his own.
Not few of Pope's best lines came to
him while in bed. Thomson composed
his finest description of natural scenery
while in bed. a like thing doubtless
may be said of the humorists. There is
little doubt that the liveliest jokes cur
rent were thought out while their au-
thors were in bed The blood flows free
ly then, digestion does its perfect work,
the mind is relieved of the care Of tho
body, the imagination and fancy roam
the earth and skies and gather of their
treasures, the inscriptions on the tablets
of memory come oGt and incident and
adventure recur in a light of their own,
suggesting new ideas and relations. One
never knows what life is till he has
spent a day in bed, in full or fair health,
witlasut thought save those which
come smiling to him his rest.
