The Human-Faced Crab.

One eff the most ingular-looking crea-

Dr. Shiesef, is the famous man-faced
crab of Japan. Its body is hardly an
inch in length, vet the head is fitted with
a face which is the perfect counterpart
of that of Chinese eoolie-with eyes,
nose and mouth all clearly defined. This
curious creature besides the great like
ness, it bears to a human being in the
face, is provided with two legs, which
seem TO grow from the top of its head
and hang down over the sides of its
face. Besides these legs, two feelers,
each about an inch in length, grow
from the chin of the animal, looking for
all the world like forked beard. These
man-faced crabs literally swarm in the
waters of the inland seas of Japan

The Terrible Ordeal of a Mother-Her
Little Girl Almost Faded Away
Saved in the Nick of Time-A Story
that Will Touch the Heart of Every
Mother.
From the Journal, Detroit Mich.
A very grateful mother is Mrs A l..
HARNESS. of 676 Grandy avenue, Detroit,
for the wonderful cure which her daugh-
ter has received by the use of DR.. VIII
liams' Pink Pills. Said Mrs. HARNESS.:
eyes, my daughters life has been saved
by using Pink Pills, thanks to kind
friend who recommended them to me-
Blanche was sick for over three years.
She had the care of the best physicians
procurable, and no expense or trouble was
spared to give her relief. She was so
thin that she was fairly skin and bones,
her digestion was out of order and she had
the most awful headaches. We gave up
all hope of her recovery. Her long, thin,
llstless face made me nearly crazy, and
we did everything in our power to give
her strength and induce her to take an in
terest in anything.
"One day a friend told me about Pink
Pills, and Mr.. Hartness went down town
and got three boxes. She had taken about
one box, when, to my amaZement, one
morning | heard her playing on the piano
l could hardly believe it, for it had been
over year since the piano had been open
ed.
''Soon she began to take short rides on
her bicycle, and soon she went singing
around the house, our own happy, hearty
little daughter once more.
''She thinks nothing of a spin on her
wheel over to Mt. Clemens or Pontiac, and
is as we'll as she ever was.
Il had girl living at our house who was
a great sufferer from impoverished blood,
and who received instant and permanent
relief from the use of one box of the pills.
''If this information can be Of any use
to help some poor sick one, it is given with
the greatest of pleasure"
The prOprietOrs of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills state that they are not a patent med
icine, but a prescription used for many
years by an eminent practitioner who pro-
duced the most wonderful results with
them, curing all forms of weakness arising
from a watery condition of the blood or
shattered nerves, two fruitful causes OF
almost every i'll to which flesh is heir. The
pills are also a specific for the troubles
peculiar to females; effect permanent
cure in all cases arising from mental wor-
ry, overwork, or excuses of whatever ma
ture- They are entirely harmless and can
be given to weak and sickly children with
the greatest good and without the slight
est danger. Pink Pills are sold by all

The Notorious Number One in the
Arms OF the Law.

BOulogne. France, Sept. l3.-Tynan
the notorious Number One" has been
arrested here on a Scotland Yard war
rant. which was issued in 1892.
lyman arrived in Europe by landing
in Genoa in August. lie proceeded
for some days conserving with a num-
Der of the members OF the dynamite
faction of the IRISH party. He had been
travelling under the name Of George
Codron and other aliases, when he ar
rived in Boulogne on Friday evening
and put up at the Hotel Folkstone,
where he did not hesitate t expOund
his Fenian views at the bar of the ho-
tel. His movements had been watched
from the time he had arrived in French
territory.
The local commissary of police, to-
gether with an English detective, burst
into his room at 4 o'clock in the morn
ing. The detective held a loaded re-
volver to his head and threatened to
shoot him if he resisted. lyman was
secured and admitted his identity. In
eliminating papers and a large sun Of
money were found in his possession. The
prisoner was lodged in a cell in the
Boulogne police Jail and he will be ar
raigned in the morning with a view to
his %extradition to England.
The warrant on which the arrest Is
made charges that the prisoner was
concerned in the murders of Lord Fred
erick C~avendish, chief secretary. and
Mr.. Burke, under secretary, in Phoenix
PARK. adjoining the Vice Legal lodge in
Dublin. on May e, 1882. and with the
manufacture of dynamite bonds for use
in England.
Detective Inspector Walsh has arriv-
ed here from Scotland Yard to conduct
the case. He said there would be some
connection between Tynan's arrest and
the arrest of a man named Bell at Glas-
gov, and Of J. Wallace at Rotterdam.
The first name of the man Bell ar
rested at Glasgow on Saturday in ON
nection with Tynan's arrest at Bou-
logne is Edward. He is described as an
American. He was arrested quietly at
Victoria hotel in Glasgow, where he had
been staying for four days.
The Standard has an editorial based
on a dispatch from its correspondent at
Boulogne in which it expresses the be-
lief that lyman when arrested was pre-
pairing for further dynamite operations
in England.

pretty, and they owe their beauty to
their simplicity. Baby waists and
straight gathered skirts are the rule and
the elaborate ones are the exception.
Many artificial flowers are worn, belts,
berthas and gar1ands being one style of
employing them. There are almost no
floating sprays. Whatever flowers are
used are set very close to each other and
have scarcely any foliage The prettiest
and most serviceable of dancing gowns
are those made of silk null. It is tough
and keeps fresh longer than anything
else, and when it is white, ivory or
cream it can be made into new one
by fresh set of ribbons or different
lace or flower garniture.
Point applique lace is initiated SO
closely now that it requires an expert to
know which is the real, and it is laid
over velvet and plush, cloth and silks
and is used with fur to trim almost ev-
erything. A very odd way to apply it is
to take a rich and heavy insertion, and
with fine scissors cut off both edges.
This leaves the pattern without any
straight border. The lace is then sewed
down to the garment, and the effect is
very striking. I saw a matinee jacket
of pearl gray swan s down flannel, and

black velvet. which was bordered with
an inch wide band of chinchilla. The
choker collar and the bottom were Dor
dered with the fur. The garment was
shirred in to fit the waist. The sleeves
were bishop shape, but were taken in
just above the wrists under velvet
band. The lower part of the sleeves was
turned under, forming a sort of pulled
fall The band of insertion was set
along down the front and around the
yoke, collar and sleeves, adding rich
effect impossible to describe.
While buttons as trimming are so
popular one must admit that there are
other modes of finishing a costume that
would better please those of quiet tastes
Among those. one favorite is to have
bindings and other devices of astrakhan.
This always looks rich and is always in
good taste, and it can also be made very
dressy. I saw a waist that was excep-
tionally dressy, and it was made of
plain gray cheviot. There was wide
belt, with buckle, and pale pink shirt
front, with silver buttons and a black
necktie. The waist was in form of a
short nondescript jacket, neither Elton,
figaro nor bolero, but little of each.
There was rolling collar, and this had
wide border of close astrakEan. The
bottom was bordered with it, and there
were three narrow bands down the front
of the jacket, but only two in the back,
and these siznu lated side seams. There
were two narrow bands around the bot
tom of the skirt. Altogether the suit
was very stylish affair.
Black wooden goods are decidedly
fashionable now, whether one is or is
