How a Woman Was Treated In TIER
own House.
Lately when German was badly
treated by the police at port-au- Prince,
Germany sent men-of-war to obtain
reparation. a case has occurred here
in Berlin. in one of the most frequent
ed streets. which, though have grown
accustomed to much. ! should not have
thought possible, says the Berlin cor
respondent of the London Daily News
A lady allowed her newly engaged
housemaid TO go out. but requested her
TO be in at TO- the hour at which Ber-
lin houses are closed At a quarter
past that hour. In her dressing gown
and slippers. and without hat. she
went down the public stairs to see II
the girl had. perhaps, been locked out.
She found her in front of the door. IN
the company Of a man, who, when the
lady summoned the girl to come in.
cried that he would not allow her. but
would take her with him. The mistress
| asked a policeman. who chanced to be
passing, for his assistance. but was re-
| fused, whereupon she said Wen. you
are a nice policeman. What are you
there for?" The policeman very gruf-
fly ordered the lady to go into the
house. She objected and all at once
he seized hold OF her and d Jared her
TO be arrested. The horrlf d lady in
vain protested. pointing to her disha-
| billie and declarinc II was impossible to
be dragged out to the police station on
a cold winter night and SO thinly clad
| The policeman, however. insisted, and
| the lady asked to be allowed to lock

ever, were in vain. When she tried,
| without permission, to lock the door.
the policeman rush It a. her. seized her
| by the waist and dragged her into the
street. lie then grabbed at her arm
and showed her on before him An
empty cab came along and his prisoner
begged him to allow her al least to get
in and be spared the disgrace of wan
dering to the station accompanied by
the usual mob. She jumped into the
cab, but the rascal pulled her out with
such force that her gown was torn and
her arms were black and blue She
was obliged to walk When she got
to the police station her husband
rushed in. but he was told to get out,
with the words, BE of, or you will be
arrested, too" After a short interview
the lady was released. So much for
the incredible story, but still more
monstrous is its sequel. The police

having insulted a member Of the force
OF course she was acquitted but so far
nothing has been heard as to whether

A STORY ABOUT NELSON.

Canada, says Leslie's Weekly. Dur
ing his service at Quebec, in 1882. when
he was but "a years Of age, he became
infatuated with beautiful Canadian
girl, Mary Simpson, daughter OF a great
Canadian merchant Of the period. At
the time of Nelson's visit she was but
16 years old maryelously beautiful and
witty On Oct. IA, 1882, Lord Nelson's
ship, the Albemarle was ready to sail,
and he had a very sad and tender
parting with Mary Simpson, and went
down the st. Lawrence to board the
man-of-war The next morning ar
rived and the Albemarle did not heave
anchor, and Captain Nelson was seen
coming back to Quebec In a boat A
friend of Nelson, a man prominent in
Quebec az the time, espled him and
asked him what had happened. Nell
son is quoted as having said: Il find
1t absolutely impossible to leave this
place without again waiting upon her
whose society has SO much added 90 ita
charms and laying myself and my for
tune at her feet" Nelson's friend pro-
tested against such rash act and told

Nelson, earnestly, "for am resolved to
do IT," But despite his intentions the
stronger will of his friend prevailed
and he was fairly carried back to the
ship and forced to leave behind the gir
he loved, and it was many years before
he gave up the hope of possessing her

France is most given to the dueling

France can boast fully 1000 per an

among army officers. More than half
OF them result in wounds and nearly
20 per cent in serious wounds. Italy
has had 2,759 duels In the last ten
years. Some 2,A00 OF these meetings
were fought with swords. l79 with pis-
