Secretary Hsrbert's Daughter Suicides.

Secretary Herberts Daughter Suicides.
Washington social circles were shocked
Wednesday by news of the suicide of
Miss Leila Herbert, daughter of the ex-
secretary Of the navy. She jumped from
the third story window Of her fathers
residence, and sustained injuries which
almost Immediately caused death.
Miss Herbert at the time Of the occur
renee was suffering from acute melancho-
liza. 1t developed several weeks ago as
the final result of injuries received by be-
ing thrown from her horse in Virginia
last September.
The melancholia was not insanity in
the sense Of being accompanied by delu-
sions. At the same time there was pro-
found depression and, as is always the
case in this type of disease, there was
great danger that suicidal tendencies
would develop. For this reason nurses
were provided to maintain the closest
watchfulneSs.
Early Wednesday morning the nurse
on duty noticed a small spot Of blood on
the bed covering and she inquired what
it meant, but the invalid endeavored to
pass it by lightly. On making an inves-
tigation, however, the nurse found that
the under bed clothes were saturated
with blood and that Miss Herbert had
severed the artery Of her wrist with
pair of scissors. Feeling that the emer-
gency was great, the nurse hastened to
the door and called an alarm.
In this momentary Withdrawal from
the bedside Miss Herbert leaped out and
sDrang from the window.

A Charming French Lady's Method
of Booming n Worthy Charity.
At a beautiful villa near Paris was
4ately given a charming fete. Pretty
women by cores were present, and
the loveliest among the party was
Madame T, always eminently "the
fashion,"
At the commencement of the ball o
young gallant fastened to be the first
to ask her to dance.
with pleasure, sir" replied she;
twenty francs"
"Madame." exclaimed the puzzled
cavalier.
II said twenty francs, monsieur"
II beg your pardon, madame" re.
piled he, smiling; there is a misun-
derstanding. / had the honor to ask
your hand for a waltz"
"Ah, you are right" replied the lady
quickly, 'there is some m~isunderstand-
ing. l thought You asked me for a
quadrille; but since it is a waltz it will
be forty francs"
More puzzled than ever, the gen.
tleman waited an explanation, which
she gave him with a gracious smile:
"Do you understand, sir, that ] am
dancing for the benefit of the poor?
1t is one louis for a quadrille two for
a waltz and no reduction in price"
At this rate Madame T had no
lack Of partners, and bravely and char
itably danced to the close of the ball.
Who but a French woman would have
dreamed of such a source of revenue?

More than twenty-five years ago
MI. Alfred Russell Wallace predicted
that it would he found that brilliantly
colorod and conspicuous ca~terpillars
We're lot among the fayorite food of
birds, although dull-looking c~aterpil-
lars are devoured by them with great
aVldlty. Various observations and ex-
per1ments since then have tended to
confirm Mr.. Wallace>s conclusion.
His idea WAS that tho bright colors
of certain Carerpiliars are the result
of natural selection, the c~aterpillars
ina originally possessed such colors
having also possessed some peculiar
lty. such as the secretion of acrid
juices, which rendered them distaste-
tul to the birds. AS the %conspicu-
ously marked caterpillars were thus
let alone by then enemies they tend
ed to increase at the expense of their
less brilliantly colored relatives.
EXperlmdntS have shown that birds
actually do avoid the bright-colored
c~aterplllars as a rule. And this seems
almost to have become a second Ia
ture, for a jaCkdaW, which had been
raised in captivity, and had had no
experience in judging the edible quail
tiles of caterpillars, was observed to
regard the brilliant caterpillar of the
figure-of-eight moth with suspicion
and aversion, although it eagerly de-
voured dull, plain caterpillers placed
within its reach. When it was driven
by hunger to attack the other it finally
refused to eat it, giving plain evil
dence that there was something dis
tasteful about the prey.-Philadelphia

Emrna Abbott's Start.

[ saw a day or two ago the first
check aver given to Emma Abbott for
singing. She appeared at a church
festival Of some kind here in New
York, for which she charged 500, and
accompanying her was Il tenor who
charged $40. 4 check for $11O was
made out in her name, and she paid
the tenor. Mr.. Lake first met her at
this festival, | believe, and became
her warm admirer, her friend and her
''apgel.' It was he who started her
out with Il company that made her
rich. He always had the utmost faith
in her. He called her Honest Little
En-" and had the entire second floor
of his fine house in Fifth avenue fit
ted up for her. He was old enough
to be her father. and she was a daugh-
ter to him. Whenever she came to
New York she went 10 his house,
which she soon came to regard as her
own If she appeared in a neighbour
ing city, at Boston or Philadelphia or
Baltimore, he always formed ii party
to go by special train to hear her
sing.-New York Press.

Thc New Snap Shot.

The attention of all purity societies
ought to be directed to the new light
which has just been discovered by Mr..
Edison. If the use of Crooke's tubes
becomes general it looks as if serious
injury would be done to the morals Of
the community, in comparison with
which the chorus girls in tights dane
ing in gauze petticoats, and so on, will
sink into absolute insignificance. With
this new power placed in the hands of
a wicked world it will no longer be
worth while to legislate against the
nude, for everybody will be in a state
of more or less nakedness. Even the
bones can no longer remain in a condi-
ton of privacy and retirement. The
clothing of flesh is eliminated. Even
a suit of cast iron ware would be no
protection against the new camera
fiend.-New York Sun.

An army surgeon, stationed with his

very popular, and his Mexican friends
one evening gave a grand ball i'll his

in the first set. He danced in nearly
every set, in ia t, and after a few
hours became tired. But the dancing
went on, and the doctor danced until
he was completely Worn out. Finally,

An Aged

The goldfish is not as tender an ami
NAL as is imagined, for in handling
and moving them from one place to
another theT are dipped up in nets and
carried about in baskets much like
corn or potatoes. Sometimes they are
out of the water thirty minutes, and
seldom is it that they are injured. How
long they will live depends altogether
upon their treatment. In the govern.

international Marriages.

There is no reason why American
girls should not marry foreigners, pro-
vided that at the time of their mar
riage they are very young, hence sus-
ceptible to the new impressions, and
therefore more likely to assimilate
with the people among whom they
make their new home; above all, if
they truly love their husbands, because
love is the great leveler of rank, preju-
dices and differences of race and re-
ligion, as the history of the world has
shown.
For an-American woman of mature
years, however, with settled opinions,
Independent and high-spirited, to con-
tract q marriage with a foreigner
would be utter folly, because the inev-
table result would be that both would
come to grief at the first matrimonial
jar, simply because foreigners, with
out an exception, consider women the
weaker vessel, a beautiful creature to
be worshiped, but to be kept in lead
ing-strings; as incapable Of self-go-
vernment. Man first and woman Sec
ond is their motto. Furthermore, their
ideas are more conventional than those
of Americans, and they do not deem
it advisable to allow their women as
much latitude as those in the United
States enjoy. Although man was Gre
ated first and woman second, the mod
ern theory in America is that she is his
equal, his helpmate and not his in
ferior. The Latin race consider that
mans sphere is the world and woman's
province her home.
We would not take a narrow view
Of marriages between Americans and
foreigners, especially as the American
people are a heterogeneous mingling
Of people from all parts of Europe,
and so far our nation seems to have
prospered, and the fusion of English,
Scotch, Irish, Swedish, German, Span
ish and French blood has reproduced
rome of the bast-traitS of ct ch in this
free land of ours. A typical American
Is king in his right, true, brave,
honorable and chiyalrous, while every
woman finds a champion in him. In
no other country in the world is
woman so well protected by laws and
institutions as she is in the United
States.
One reason of so many unhappy mar
riages between American girls and for
eign nOblemen is that both have mar
ried not from love, but from interest.
When one of the hottest ties God has
blessed in this world the basis of a
Christian family, is q commercial
transaction, the result is disastrous,
because heaven frOWns on such TN
holy alliances.-Harper's Bazaar.
