A COUNTESS REVENGE.
Deathbed and Disfgured 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 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 a piece clean out
Of Concetta's cheek and mouth, then
fell back dead, with contented smile
on her features. Concetta was dis
figured for life, and her husband, the
ficlSle court, left her for n new love.

REMEMBERED PARTING.
After Three Years OF Separation
Naval Omcer and His spouse
Exchange Greetings.

Navy families 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 shortcalse.
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" lie 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
pcrative 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:
II 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 Ito's wife saved His
Life During ~ Rebellion
Many Years Aao.

A japanese lady is noted for her
courage, her strength of mind and her
self-possession. 1t is wonderful to
think what physical trialsand 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 n rebellion, Count Ito was
hiding from his enemies, who, having
tracked him TO his house, send band
of "soshis" to assassinate him. On
hearing his enemies approaching and
trapped like 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 i'll
treated her, dragging her about the
room by her long black hair. But it
was of no avail they could not shake
her resolute fidelity. Thanks to her
courage Count Ito escaped and has
lived to give to his country n new con-
stitution

have not been worked for years being
started up again.
Nearly all of the iron ore that had
been lying on wharves and at railroad
stations along the East Pennsylvania
branch of the Philadelphia and Read

naces. AT Kline's Corner, near Mertz-
town, there was pile of 90, 900 tons,

the $1,000 tons that for fifteen years

be employed in iron mines in Berks

What Not to Say.

Do not say, 81 can't eat." Take
Hoods Sarsaparilla and say. 81 am
hungry all the time, and food never
hurts me-"
Never say to your friends that you
are as tired in the morning as you are
at night. If they happen to be sharp
they will tell you Hoods Sarsaparilla
will cure that tired feeling.
Do not say, "My face is full of
plmples." You are quite likely to be
told by some one, "There'S no need
Of that, for Hoods Sarsaparilla cures
pimples."
1t is improper and unnecessary to
say, "My health is poor and my blood
is bad" Hoods Sarsaparilla will
give you good blood, and good health
will follow as a natural consequece.

The Girl that Helps Mother.

The girl who gives away to a de-
sire to gad about the streets and cul-
tivate the acquaintance Of young men
who act the simpering simpleton, is
laying the foundation for a useless
life. Ten to one after she married
she will develop into slatternly gos-
sip, if no greater misfortune befalls
her. 1t is tine glrl of good sound
sense, the girl who love home and
helps mother that wins the model
husband and becomes an ornament OF
womanhood. The girl that does this
and devotes some of her time to read
ing, tries to win the esteem of every
body, while the gading street orna-
ment wins the admiration of those
whose admiration is not worth any
thing.

The physicians at the PENNSYLVANIA
hospital at Philadelphia, after giving
1t fair trial, have expressed the opin-
ion that the anti-toxin treatment of
tetanus, or lockjaw is of little or no
value, nearly all cases tried Welded a
negative result. The enormous in
crease in the number of persons who
received wounds July 4th this year
and died from resulting tetanus is
awakening deep interest in medical
circles, and causing students to make
every exertion towards the discovery
of some treatment or method by which
the disease may be combatted In
New York City alone the number of
deaths from this cause in the past two
weeks have numbered thirty-two,
most of the victims being boys who
were wounded in the hand by pistols.
Of I4r lives lost in the United States
from injuries received during the
Fourth of July celebration, lock-jaw
caused the death Of eighty-three.

No Information as to When Gomez
Will Go to Havana.

HAVANA, Feb. Ex-Governor Brooke
has received no information regarding
the date when General Maxine Gomez
will arrive in Havana. February 24th
is the anniversary of the beginning of
the Cuban war, and it is possible that
General Gomez will wait until then to

The opinion is expressed in high Off

OF the Cuban Assembly agreed while
IN Washington to accept $3,000,OO0
from the United States for the pay

would consent. Consequently, the cur

Among the rations drawn for distri-

has been stored in damp warehouses

soon decomposed. The meat had PROB

the other hand a quantity of bacon
canned in 1891 was found to be fresh.
At several other relief stations,
tainted salmon and spoiled tomatoes
were discovered by the Board of Meat
