Ugly Women.

The mother of the Regent d'Orleans.
who governed France during the mi
nority of Louis XIV, has been thrust
into public notice lately as the one
woman who ever acknowledged her
own physical ugliness. A New York

people said, not long ago. 81 think /

lived, for in all my life have never
had a beau. No man has paid me

man know--and there are scores of
abominally homely ones among them

OF them have married, and the plain

KAFFIR FAIRY STORY.
Queer Experience of Demane and De-
Mama With Cannibals.

Here is a Kaffir fairy story. II is
called "Demane and Demanza," and is
very good example of the kind of
story current among the dusky boys"
of South Africa.
Demane and DemanZa are husband
and wife, living together in cave.
Demane one day goes out to hunt, but
tells his wife before starting that on
no account must she cook any food dur
ing his absence, lest the cannibals, at
tracted by the smell of the cooking,
find out the cave and carry her off and
eat her.
Demanza, directly her lord has gone
commences to prepare a meal, with
the result that one of the cannibals
knocks at the door" of the cave and
demands admission. This is refused
him. So the cannibal goes and con
suits with his tribesmen, and they
burn his throat which changes his
voice to very smooth tone, like that
Of girl He returns to the cave and
is this time admitted. The cannibal
at once ties DemanZa up in sack he
has brought with him, and takes hel
away to his own habitation. Demane
returning home with a swarm of bees
he has found, discovers his wife's alb
duction. Forthwith he tracks the can
| nibal to his lair. The latter has left
Demanza tied up in the sack, while ht
goes to fetch some relations to share

and the husband and wife at once
make themselves scarce. The would
be feasters arrive and the Gambia
tells one of them to get something
good out of the sack.
He attempts this. but is stung foI
his pains; so mine host himself, t,
disproye the charge of practical jokinl
that has been unanimously preferred
goes to the sack, on opening which al
all the bees swarm out and sting hin
so numerically that he rushes from
the cave and jumps into pond heat
first and sticks in the mud at the bot
tom. Thus he dies, and Demane ant
Demanza appropriate all his wealth
and live happy ever after.
There are plenty of other flair,

of them treat of the fruit of dis

and like matters; but they have NJ

Pain in Amputated Limbs.

One cold morning at Columbus, Ca,
we met a distinguished ex-confeder-
ate general, who had driven to town
in his buggy. We inquired as to his
health and he replied: 81 am feeling
well except in this arm" He pointed
to an empty sleeve and added; MY
hand and fingers are almost froze
and give me great anguish" Now
the hand and fingers aforesaid were
invisible. They had long been buried,
yet they remained in some apparently
mysterious manner with the original
owner. We once heard of a man.
whose leg had been amputated.
screaming with pain because, as ne
said, his foot, no longer attached to
his body visibly, was being roasted
at fire. Investigation demonstrated
that some medical students had re-
moved the amputated leg to an up
per chamber and left it near a hot
stove, foot foremost, and it was really
roasting. The doctors explain this,
we believe, by muscular phenomena,
the stump retaining tendons and
sinews once used for the whole
limb. The psychologists contend that
the real body is the invisible one,
which alone has sensation, and that
no surgeons knife can sever that
from the trunk of man. 1t is all very
curious, no matter how you look at it.

NEW FAST-FIRING RIFLE.

only ten shots a minute. Then came

SAVING THE LOBSTER.
Good Work o. the Newfoundland De-
partment of Fisheries.

Good Work o. the Newfoundland De-
partment of Fisheries.
The Newfoundland department Of
marine and fisheries is now operated
very much on the same lines as the
Canadian, though, of course, on a
much smaller scale. 1t was first or
ganized as fisheries commission" in
1890, previous to which date there
was no public department specially
charged with the supervision of the
fisheries. i
The last annual report of the depart
ment contains some information
which may interest your readers. Re-
garding the artificial propagation of
Holsters the report states that in the
past from 300,000,000 to 4O0,000,000
Holsters were annually Matched and
planted in the waters, at yearly cost
of $1,100. If only small percentage
of these survive to reach maturity the
results can not fail to prove beneficial
| in sustaining the stock of Holsters in
the waters, and thus. counteracting
the effects of such heavy drafts as
are now made, year after year. may,
explain that this propagation is carried
on by means of floating incubators,
the invention of Mr.. Nelson. Two
hundred and fifty of these incubators
are operated by men around the
shores of the great bays. There is no
other country where the artificial
propagation of this valuable crusta-
cean is carried on upon such an ex-
tensive scale-not excepting the
United States or Norway.
1t is well known that in nearly
every lobster-producing country this
favorite crustacean is threatened with
determination. The quantity secured
each year is lessening and the price
advancing. Newfoundland, I regret
to say, is no exception to the decline
in the lobster fishery. The export
each year is lessening, though the
number of hands employed
in taking it has doubled. The
size, too, is diminishing in most
districts. The report states the ex-
port for 1889 as 56,156 cases; value,
S565,O00. In the previous year the ex-
port was 61,951 cases; value, $619,51O.
The department is using the most
vigorous measures to arrest the de-
cline; but the due enforcement of the
rules in regard to the size of Holsters
taken and the spaces between the
laths in the traps is very difficult.
The department has recently prohib-
: tied fall fishing-a wise measure
| which already seems to be attended
with good results and meets, general
approval both among fishermen and
packers. The report states that
there is "a marked Improvement in
the mode of packing and a much bet
ter article than formerly is produced.
though there is still great room for
improvement" Montreal Gazette.

HOT WEATHER DIET.
Meat Once a Day Is Amply Sufficient
For ALL

Unless you are undergoing extraor-
binary physical fatigue, once day is
often enough to eat red" meat in this
fiery weather, says the PHILADELPHIA
Record. If you can arrange the family
meals to suit yourself, feed them on
plenty of poultry, fresh fish, fresh
vegetables, soups, and, above all,
plenty of fruit. The red-blooded
meats are not necessary as they seem
to be in cold weather. Lamb is better
than beef when the mercury is rang
ing about the century mark. If you
have beefsteak for luncheon or for din
ner that will suffice for the day. A
ripe peach or two, French rolls. good
coffee, and boiled egg, or a fried
perch, makes a good breakfast, unless
you prefer cantaloupes to the peach.
reserving the latter for your dessert.
This suggestion is made for the bene-
mt of those who lead comparatively
sedentary lives, and who do not re-
quire the broiled chop and fried DO
tatoes which the man who works hard
with his muscles deserves to start the
day.
Beef eating is admirable in winter,
autumn and spring, but in a climate
such as Philadelphia yields in July
and August very little red-blooded
meat is necessary in the daily diet.
Beef-eating warns you up, and no
such treatment is required nowadays.
Roast chicken, sea foods, roast ducks.
fruits in profusion, and the vegeta-
Dies which grow above ground are pre-
ferable just now. Good ice cream is a
valuable addition to the daily diet.

Paper Made From Leather.

A novel use of leather is in the
manufacture of fbroleum, a new pa
per product. which is the invention Of
Y. Brlgalant of Barentin, in France.
This is a sort of leather paper on
board, which is made from waste
cuttings of skins into small bits. and
then immersing them in a large vat
containing an alkaline solution. which
.dissolyes the glutinous matter, but
leaves the fibers unaltered. The
resultant fiber is then beaten and af-
terward pressed through a refiner.
The stuff is run onto the wire and a
very thin paper is made, which is cut
into sheets, and while wet is placed
