, Her Strange Life


Paris, Nov. 1.-(Special correspond ence of The Republican.)-Th magis trates who attended the postmortem of the Comtesse de Peragallo could not help admiring the elegance of her inner clothing. Love letters filled the pigeon holes of a desk The writer Of the most recent probably put an end to her strange life in order to steal her jewels. She was strangled the other morning in her prettily arranged little apart ment where she lived a la garcon. Her age was eighty-two, yet she made her conquests to the last. This eternally pretty old lady preserved to the last. her gay, reckless, happy go-lucky dis position, her birdy lightness of step and kept herself youthful in mind and ap- pearance. She was always spoken of as the daughter of General Froissard, governor of the late prince imperial, although 1 believe she was, in fact. his niece.
 General Froissard made large for tunes in army contracts, but lost them a play. She inherited from him love for flash and show. also q passion for gambling. Her scheme of finance had the merit of simplicity. She would pocket her winnings at Hamburg and Monaco and fall back on her string of admirers for her losses. She was at least fifty when General Froissard en- tered the imperial household to direct the education of the prince. NeVerthe- less she shone as an uncOmmonly pretty and attractive dancer at the Monday evening "hops" of the Empress Eugenie. In the fashionable sphere in which she moved people spoke of her as a "gentleman's beauty''-that is to say, not much of beauty, but captivating nevertheless. Her feet and ankles, that she somehow contrived to show, despite lonk skirts and voluminous crinoline, conquered celebrity. So did the small but perfectly moulded figure, which looked best in iron frou attire. The rustling nOisiness of her silk dresses and flounces suggested to some jealous rival the nickname of le serpent a sonnettes. Donkey parties came into fashion during a sojourn of the court at Fontainebleau, and remained in for several seasons. The ladies, of course, wore their great crinolines and ornate dresses, which quite hid the donkey. The hounces on upper and under skirts showed, and care had to be taken to have faultless dessous de robes and i'm peccable shoes, stockings, and Turkish trousers. Mile. Froissard came out triumphantly at those donkey riding parties.
 It would be hard to describe the fea- lures of this sorceress. But a pair of blue eyes, limpid, candid. sunny, and cOnfiding, gave singular charm to the Countenance. I am sorry to say that such eyes often denote the utter ab- sence of conscience, and bespeak an instinctive, or at best intuitive, nature. It is nature little above that of a spaniel, so far as moral sense goes, ana has a sort of Garden of Eden innocence because incapable to distinguish be- tween right and wrong.
 It used to be whispered that Mile. Froissard found a banker in Count HenckeI Donnersmarck, and that in re-

LEIPZIG cAR-cRossrNa SIGNALS

United States Consul Warner at Leip- zig has given the secretary of state st brief account of the systems of signal ling at electric car crossings in that city.
 Until a few months ago." says he, "the method at crossings of elecbTc street railways was either to station 8 flagman at the crossings or to have the conductor run forward to see if the other line was clear. An automatic signal lantern has been introduced by the street railway company which does away with these inconvenient methods The lantern consists of two boxes ar ranged one above the other, each hay ing two sides fitted with red and the other two with green glass, the red being above the green. The cars on one line cause the incandescent lamps in the upper box to turn; the cars on the other line the lamps in the lower one. This causes. owing to the ar engagement of the glass in the boxes, a green light to appear to the first line, which indicates free passage, and a red light to the second line, which means stop Signals are also visible in daytime, as refectors shut out the light of the sun.

l between reason and instinct. The phil osophy which has attempted to sepa- | rate the two has meant nothing to me.
 From my standpoint, reason and in stinct seem to be about the same thing. Ants have their own way of reasoning about things, and from my observation | they make about as few mistakes as
 human kind.
 For instance, they know how
 much food to put away during the sum-
 mer months for the winter months. and | they always have enough to do them
 until the balmy atmospheric conditions
 of the spring warm the soil so they can
 begin their toiling again. Observation
 has convinced me that they reason dis 1 t2nce, and that they make as few mis- 1 takes as members of the human family. | But they reason in other ways. Some ] time ago 1 had occasion to go into the pantry at my home. A lot of jelly hal | been put up in small tumblers. A pap
 CT covering had been put over the tops
 of the glasses. The paper was very | thick, and was supposed to be a suffi- cient protection against insects of all
 kinds. When I went into the pantry I was surprised to find five empty
 glasses. On examination I found sev- eral small holes in the paper tops Otherwise there had been no disturb
 ance of the covering. The glasses were as clean as if they had been washed with water. On examining the sixth
 glass in the row I found black-look- ing knot at the bottom of it. On closer inspection I found that it was a wad of busy ants. They were still engaged
 in carrying the jelly and were just about ready to make an attack on the next glass. In fact several of the ants were engaged in surveying the paper
 top for the evident purpose of finding the most convenient place to bore a hole.
 This reminds me of another experi- ence l had. Ants had become so both ersome in my kitchen that 1t became necessary to put things in water over night in order to protect them. One night a smaller pan was put into a larger one which had been filled, par tially. with water. The smaller pan contained sweets of some sort. The water isolated the small pan. It was in the position of an island with a bor- der of probably two inches of water around it. This was to keep the ants away. But the ants were too smooth. They had to make a sacrifice, but they managed to get to the sweets, and ] was utterly paralyzed one morning when I found how ingenious they had proven. They had made an ant bridge bridge composed of dead ants, which reached across the span of water, and the live members were busy running over this strange structure and carry ing way the sweet stuff which had been stored away in the smaller pan. How many ants they had sacrificed, or how they managed the thing. do not know but they had a good, substantial bridge made of their own kind, and it was answering their purpose admirably Was not this reason in it's cruel aspect? l do not know of anything in human annals to equal it in brutal cleverness.''
