A COUNTESS REVENGE.
She Called Her Hated Rival to Hel
Deathbed and DisfigHred Her
for Life.

A tragic story of feminine revenge
comes from Vienna. The count and
countess Napodano lived happily to-
gether until the count fell in love with
the daughter of the local doctor, Con-
cetto Devajo by name, a charming
young girl of is years. The count de-
serted his wife and eloped with Con-
cetta Devajo. The Countess Napodano
obtained a divorce from her husband,
who then married Concetta. Two years
later Count Napodono and Countess
Concetta returned to Matuggacci. The
former Countess Napodano was now
on her deathbed. She sent a message
to the Countess Concetta that she would
like to see her before she died. The
countess, wishing to humor the wishes
OF the dying woman, went to see her.
The invalid asked her to stoop and kiss
her. AS the fresh young face of her
rival came near her own the dying
woman raised herself, and by an almost
superhuman effort bit piece clean out
of Concetta's cheek and mouth. then
fell back dead, with a contented smile
on her features. Concetta was dis
figured for life, and her husband, the
tickle count, left her for a new love.

REMEMBERED PARTING,
After Three Years of Separation
Naval Officer md His spouse
Exchange Greetings.

Navy famslies are used to separations.
A middle aged officer of the navy left
Washington three years ago for a
cruise on the China station, says the
Post. On the evening that he left his
wife herself prepared an especially
dainty dinner for him, the bill of fare
winding up with strawberry shortcake.
Only half the shortcake could be eaten
by the family, so heartily had they par
taken of the other viands, and the Of
ficer said to his wife: you can Just
put the remaining half of that short
cake in the refrigerator and We'll have
it Tomorrow" He forgot for the mo-
ment that he was going away that
night. His wife went down to the
station with him and among the final
instructions she gave him was an i'm
perative command to have his hair
trimmed as soon as he reached San
Francisco. The officer had, absent
nindedly, permitted his hair to grow
rather long.
He returned to Washington recently,
after an absence of a month more than
three years. His wife met him at the
station After their first salutation
she said to him, smiling:
Il observe that you obeyed orders
and had your hair cut
"Yes, my dear" replied the officer
"and did you save me that bit of straw
berry shortcake?"

BRAVE JAPANESE WOMEN.
How Count ltO's wife Saved His
Life Daring a Rebellion
Many Years AgO.

A Japanese lady is noted for her
courage, her strength of mind and her
self-possession. 1t is wonderful to
think what physical trials and dangers
these fragile little creatures will under
go in an emergency. The late prime
minister's life was saved by the cour-
age and presence of mind of his wife
Many years ago, when quite young
man, during a rebellion, Count Ito was
hiding from his enemies, who, having
tracked him to his house, send a band
OF "soshis" to assassinate him. On
hearing his enemies approaching, and
trapped like a rat in its hole, the count
drew his sword and prepared to die
but the countess whispered: do not
die; there is hope STILL" and, removing
the "hibatchi," or fire box, and lifting
up the mats and the planks beneath, she
induced her husband to conceal himself
in the hollow space which exists under
the floor of all japanese houses. The
murderers broke into the room just as
the fire box had been replaced and de-
manded of the countess their victim
In vain they threatened and cruelty ill,
treated her, dragging her about the
room by her long black hair. But il
was of no avail; they could not shak,
her resolute fidelity. Thanks to hel
courage Count Ito escaped and ha!
lived to give to his country a new con
stitution.

UNDERTAKER's PROGRESS.
A Rubber Tired Carriage for Church
Aisies Is One of the Newest
Inventions.

Among the many new appliances Of
up-to-date undertakers is the casket
carriage, upon which burial casket
may be moved up the aisle of church.
The latest form of casket carriage,
upon which patent was issued in the
present year, is of lattice construction,
of brass. 1t is supported upon six low
rubber-tired wheels, three on a side.
When not in use it can be closed up
together, occupying a small space;
when opened for use it is of ample size
to bear casket, which can be moved
upon 1t securely, smoothly and noise
lessly along the aisle, says the New
York Sun.
1t is not expected that the casket car
riage will take the place of bearers in
state and military and other funerals
in which bearers would naturally be
employed, but it is found useful in
othc- church funerals, and especially
in churches having narrow aisles in
which there. might not be room for
bearers to walk at the side of the cas-
ket.
The removal basket is modern
means of conveyance, used by under
takers for the removal of bodies from
hospitals or hotels or other places
where it might not be convenient or
desirable to carry cumbersome ice
box. 1t is coffin-shaped in its general
form, but with rounded outlines and
a rounded top. 1t has steel frame
work, upon which the basketwork, of
rattan, is woven. Stout wicker handles
are woven into the sides. In such q
basket, occupying comparatively little
space and which may be conveniently
handled, the body is removed to the
undertaker's.

GIVES BOUNTEOUSLY.
POrtugaPs Queen DevOtes Much of
Her Time and Money to Do
ing Good.

We hear less about Portugal than
about Spain at any time, and of late
have heard less than usual. The queen
of Portugal is a sovereign deserving a
long mark for her interest in hospitals
and hygiene, and also in the welfare Of
the children of poverty, says Harper's
Weekly. At Alcantara she founded, in
1893, dispensary peculiarly for meet
ing the demands of childish invalids,
as pleasantly situated as possible, and
spaciously planned, combining a diet
kitchen, consultation rooms, surgical
halls and much of the departmental
work of hospital. Almost every day
the queen herself goes to the establish
ment and takes a personal share in the
labors of the charity, now waiting in
the kitchen distributions, and again
assisting in the surgery.
Several well-known women of her
court are equally practical. The gen.
eral charge Of it is committed to a re-
ligious order, favorite of the queens,
but the eminent Portuguese physician,
DIR. Sylvia Carvalho, heads the staff of
medical workers. In one year (1S95)
there were given in the building $3.50
consultations, 63,704 rations from the
diet kitchen, 1881 bandagings, 76,4sO
prescriptions and 47O vaccinations. The
milk and vegetables are furnished
gratis by the queen, and the medical
supplies are also betrayed by her. Fiji
teen hundred babies were treated in one
twelvemonth. 1t is said that there is
not any royal charity of the sort in
Europe so efficiently managed, with the
additional active cooperation of the
fouDder

A Modern soIomon's Judgment.

The Greek ecclesiastical authorities
at Aleppo have been called upon to de-
eide case which strongly recalls Solo
mons famous judgment. By strange
coincidence a woman and her daugh-
ter both gave birth to female child at
the same time. But the babies got
mixed, and as one of them was ugly
and the other pretty and healthy both
mothers claimed the latter. The elder
woman maintained that, as all her 9TH
er children were handsome, the ugly
child could not be hers, while her daugh-
ter claimed that, being young, hand
some and strong, she could not be the
mother of weak and ugly baby. The
religious chief of the town settled the
affair in summary way. He adjudged
the beautiful child to the daughter on
the ground that, it being her first, the
occasion was not to be made one of hui
initiation and disappointment, while
the elder mother could afford to forego
her claim, since she had already had
several handsome children.-Constan

INGRATITUDE AND MURDER.
How an migrate Laid the Plans Whtch h
Resulted In the killing of
His Friend,

Adjective told story a few evenings
ago which illustrates the ingratitude of
criminals. The migrate, says a Chica-
go exchange, was one of the principals
in the McGee murder, which was COM
mitted a little over a year ago. His
name was w. j. willows, well appear
ing youth, but the man who decoyed
the aged creamery agent into the In
diana avenue apartment building where
Jacks killed him. Willows had been in
trouble before that, and the man "who
came to the trout" for him was the
keeper of lunch counter near the Grim
inal Court building. The mans wife
had known Willows in his days of re-
spectability in small Michigan town.
She urged her husband to do what he
could for him, and, with money for at
torney's fees and few well placed
words of commentator, Willows was
helped to get out of the scrape. The
lunch-counter man was close personal
friend of the old man MCGEE, and liked
him much. He talked to Willows about
him in their short acquaintanceship in
the days of Willows trouble, and the
lunch-counter man told his acquaint-
aDce how much this friend had done
for him, yet, while l. Jail, Willows met
Jacks and the two of them formed the
plan of robbery which led to McGee's
murder. The lunch-counter man lost
his best friend through needless and
useless murder and Willows earned a
sentence IN the penitentiary.

STRANGE MARRIAGE CUSTOM.
Spendthrift Spinsters Were Able to
Avoid Their Debt Liabilities
by Foregoing Finery.
founder,

1t was an old idea that husband
whose wife at her marriage was clothed
only in sheet or in the most elemen-
tary linen garment was not in any way
liable for the debts previously con-
tracted by her, says the writer of ''Love
and Legend of the English Church."
Our parish registers and local tradi-
tions give us ample illustration of this
quaint idea. At Chiltern, All Saints
Wiltshire, is the following entry:
John Bridmore and Annie Selwood
was married Oct. II, 1714. The afore-
said Anne Selwood was married in
her smock without any clothes
or headgear on" Similar cases oc-
Cured at Gorton Green in 1873, at
Ashton-under-Lyne in 1771 and at
Otley in 1903. Avis Birmingham Ga
zette for 1897 vouches for an extraor
dinary story, according to which a
bride disrobed in the vestry and ap-
peared at the altar without even the
amount of clothing worn by the ladies
In the above cases.
The latest example of which the
present writer knows comes from Lin
'colnshire. The register of Gedney has
this commonplace entry: Dec. 2,
1s42. David Wilkinson, full age, bach
elor, laborer, of Gedney, to Susan Far.
ran, full age, widow, of Gedney."
Local tradition supplements this brief
account by relating that the bride was
dressed in sheet stitched about her,
with holes cut for the passage of her
bare arms

DOWNFALL OF LITTLE WILLIE.

Being an exposition Of the fact that sci
ence, though excellent in its way ant
perhaps Indispensable, may not be a goo,
thing all around, after all.
Little willies ways are dreary.
He Is sick at heart and sore;
once he cheered us with his laughter,
He is doing SO no more.
Little Willie has a sister
Who is fair and twenty-three;
Never was a gentle maiden
Sweeter, daintier than she.
Willie's sister has fellow
Whom she loved with all her migl
And he comes to see her with the
Regularity Of night.
Willies sisters fellows father
Is a millionaire whose one
Wish appears to be to pamper
The desires of his son.
Willie's sisters fellow used to
Ride behind blooded pair
That could do mile In '20'
Without moistening hair.
Willie used to hold those charges
While their owner was inside
Asking Willie's happy sister
To get ready for ride.s
And II used to seem to take her
Long to make her toilet, too;
Or, perhaps, twas not her toilet
Willie didn't care sou.
Oft he sat there in the carriage
While the hours dragged along. .
Holding firmly to the ribbons,
Pouring out his soul In song.
And his pretty sisters fellow
Gladdened him with many fee
All, the way that child spent money
Was astonishing to see!
Nearly all he ate was candy,
He had friends to turn away;
All the boys were out for Willie
Everywhere and every day.
His opinion was their gospel,
They were all on Willie's side
Willie was their saint and leader,
Willie's heart was full of pride.
Gone, alas, is Willie's prestige!
And his friends, oh, where are they?
One Of them gave little Willie
A sad beating yesterday!
Little girls make faces at him,
Who had only smiles before;
Willie doesn't carry candy %
In his pockets any more.
Little willie's heart is heavy,
There's shadow on his brow
Little Willie's sisters fellow
Has horseless carriage now!

Mr.. H. N. Warner, of Minden,
Neb., said:
In 1894 was attacked with
paralysis in me left side. You
might stick pin to the head into
my left hip and 1 would not feel
it. 1 was unable to do any kind
of work and had to be turned in
bed. l made up my mind that 1
could not be cured as I had used
all kinds of medicine and had
tried many doctors. I was ad-
vised to try DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People, and COM
menced their use last September.
Before I had finished my first box
1 felt better, and by the time had
used six boxes the disease had en-
tirely disappeared, and have not
been SO free from pain since I was
boy. The paralysis also disap-
peared, and although two months
have passed since I finished my
last box, there has been no recur-
renee of the disease. ."-F,om tile
