To the monastery Of the Ctu, Char
treuse women, as a rule, are iueXorabiy
refused admittauCe, only very few
having mad the privilege of seeing the
Ca1thusians (monks of the order) nc
nome. A story is told of French
daughter of Eve, blessed with even q
greater share Of curiosity than that pos
sessed by the generality of her sex,
who, having heard from her husband
and brother Of their late interesting
visit 10 the monastery, tried by every
means III hcr power to effect an entrance
there, BIT al to no avail. Determined,
however, ~ hook or crook, to succeed,
she at last hit upon the happy idea of
presenting herself there dressed as a
man, managing to persuade her husband
to allow her to do so, and to take her
with him Oh his next visit.
On arriving at the gates of the mon
astery she entered unchallenged with
the remainder of the party, but while
IN the garden the conducting monk,
leaving her side, gathered an exquisite
rose, which he brought and presented
to her with conrtly bow, proving that
he at least was not deceived by her dis
guise. She, too, foolishly betrayed her
self by her ready grace and charm of
manner in accepting the rose, which she
did most willingly. Needless to say
that after this incident she never pene-
trated into the interior of the building
nor saw what she was dying to see, but
returned unsatisfied, sadder and a
wiser woman, with high appreciation,
however, of the keen discernment of the
cloistered ones.

On the Pronunciation of Pepys.

The Hon Walter Pcpys has collected
II varieties Of the spelling of the name,
and he lays some stress upon the French
form Pepy as authority for the pronun-
citation favored by him. Peeps seems TO
follow the usual practice, as Weems for
Wemys, and, moreover, it Is that adopt
ed by the descendants of the diarist's
sister Paulina, the family of Pepys
Cockerell. Peeps is also the traditional
pronunciation adopted at Cambridge.
Here is, think, strong evidence in IA
vor of Peeps At the same time l believe
that in this name, as in other words,
the pronunciation of the vowel has
changed since the seventeenth century,
and that the name III Pepys' own Gay
was actually pronounced Papes This
opinion is grounded on the phonetic
spelling Peaps and Peyps which have
come down to us, and both these would
represent Papes; eta, as in yea,
break, great; ey-a, as in obey and
they. In this matter, however, | have
not the courage of my opinion, and
am not, therefore, prepared to adopt
this pronuDoietion.- Notes and Queries.

BOITO'S CRIMINAL PLOTS
Shameful Aid of His Former Wife
in Swindling Mrs. Irwin.
Rccklessness of the Originator Up
sets IA Conspiracy Against
Confiding Woman.

New York, Sept 6.-With the arrest or
william, Botto, the Louisville youth taken
intu custody for swindlng hotelkeepers, a
ray or light is thrown upon the most re-
,narkable matrimonial plot ever conceived.
Botto, as is very well known recently
welded in Louisville d widow over twice
his age.
To bring about this alliance hc forced
has young wife TO a life of shame, ii is
said, ia order TO secure a divorce. Having
thus cleared the way, Botto married Mrs.
James I. Irwin. an elderly widow, with
fortune Of 81 ,0oO 0Uo. That was three
months ago.
She gave her young and handsome hus
band a wedding present or $4,000 and al
lowed him To visit New York alone on u
honeymcon trip-if such 1t can be called.
Inside of sixty days this money vanished,
and, unable to obtain more, Botto uttered
worthless cheeks in order TO continue his
designations.
Through q letter discovered In his room it
cow appears that the original wife was a
willing party to the plot by which Botto
hoped to secure the fortune of the confidinG 9
old woman, whose heart he won. But the
conspiracy failed through the folly and reck-
less dissipation OF the clever rogue who con-
ccived the plot.

BROUGHT BACK FROM THE GRAVE.
Last November Mr.. Joseph James,
painter, of 3z5 w. Pearl ST., 1ndianapo-
lis, Ind, was at deaths door with quick
consumption. Wasted to a skeleton;
his lungs a mass of liberation; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept in a constant
stupor with opium. A friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him
bottle of Brazilian Balm. Seeing Its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised its
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
on the Balm alone. His recovery was
rapid and complete, and in February he
returned to work. His lungs are sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life. His recovery is regarded as
almost a miracle.
