Marseilles, Aug. 9.-As Premier

tempted assassination man dressed In
fisherman's clothes.
A compan Mon of the man drew knife,
but the police quickly disarmed him.
The police had much difficulty In pro-

shots, from the crowd. He struggled
desperately but was soon overcome,

The man said his name was Sauyaire
Picolo He spoke very bad French,
with a strong italian accent. he
denied that he had fired the shots but

MARRIAGE ADVERTISEMENTS.
who Are FOO1ishly Inclined
to Answer Them.

For long time we have meditated
whether duty to our readers did not
require statement upon the subject
Of matrimonial advertisements. Cir
cumstances have recently come to
our knowledge which dissipate the
doubt, says the New York Christian
Advocate. 1t might be thought that
the women who will answer such adj
vertisements belong to a low class.
morally or socially. That many OF
them do there is little room to doubt.
but that some of them do not is
equally certain. Some papers Of wide
Observation-Disclosures with most un-
parental recklessness by Christian
parents into their homes-make
large sums of money by personal
columns" in which half of the adver-
tisements are plainly bids by aban-
doned women and abandoned men;
and the statement that their object
is matrimony is a blind to catch the
unsuspecting or to throw the burden
Of proof on those who might be in
clined to proceed legally against the
paper as a demoralizing sheet.
Facts prove that widows of respec-
liability, with money, and single WON
en- without money have often been
trapped by the most heartless adj
venturers. Young girls in boarding
schools or at their own homes. in a
spirit of fun, answer such advertise
ments. and sometimes insert them.
Photographs being exchanged, they
imagine that while nothing may
come of it they would like to meet
their correspondent. From such cor
respondence the worst evils often
arise. Broken hearts and ruined lives
in a number that would astonish and
be deemed incredible if announced
have followed. We have had personal
knowledge of many cases, of which
more than half were in Christian and
more than a quarter in Methodist
families. The letters we receive from
fathers and mothers. beseeching us
to institute a search for a daughter
who had disappeared and among
whose effects were found letters
which showed that she had been en-
trapped, willingly or otherwise, by
these advertisements, have opened
our eyes. Moreover, Mr.. Anthony
Comstock could strike terror in many
communities were he to make known
what has come to his knowledge, In
comparison with which such informa-
ton as we have received is but as a
drop in the bucket.
Apart from such consequences, for
Young women to write letters or
send photographs in answer to such
advertisements is taking a very great
risk. Recently an adventurer of the
sort has been captured. Seventy-five
letters from respectable young wom-
en- were found in his possession. His
scheme was to engage himself to
them and then in some subtle way
get possession of their money. In
stances have been known where large
amounts have been paid under
threats of exposing the correspond
ence.

ROMANY BLOOD.
pecuIiarity of the Gypsy Race
Brought Out by n Noted Amer
lean Author.

The late Charles Godfrey Leland, the
wsll-known author of the Hans Brett
mann" ballads, has passion for study
ing the race of Gipsies, and at the same
time great human sympathy with
them. The fact that he was the great
est living authority on the Gypsy
tongue and customs gave him little
pleasure compared with the delight
of being hailed as brother by Gypsy
borsetraders at English fairs, and
Gypsy musicians in Russia and Austria,
SAYS Youths Companion.
One day, in Philadelphia, he met
three dark men whom he knew to be of
an ancient stock. He was quite sure
that they could speak language which
contained roots of Sanskrit. Hindi and
Persian. Yet they would make no dis
play of it. They would, like all their
race, deny all knowledge of it as well
as the fact of their Gypsy blood.
He addressed them in Italian, and
they answered fuently. He changed

Eyes. signor, all of them"
Isn't there one left behind, which
you have forgotten? Think a minute"
"No, signor, none"
what, not one?"
"Signor you have seen every egg in
the basket"
Leland looked the man fixedly in the
eye, and put a question in Romany.
There was a startled glance from one
to the other, and then a silence. He
asked them again in Romany. Won't
you talk with Gypsy brother?"
That opened the gates. They shook
his hands in great emotion, and tried
to tell him how happy they were in
having met some one who knew them.

ALLIGATORS IN CAPTIVITY.
Many of Them Refuse to Eat, and
Starve to Denth-One Way
of Feeding Them.

'The alligator" said a Snowman,
according to the New York Sun, sis
commonly supposed to have a good
appetite. In fact, from the stories
we read about its roaming around in
the streams and bayOus of its native
regions, picking up and eating col
ored pickaninnies and stray dogs and
biting off the legs of men it finds
asleep on the banks, and even taking
in a man whole, and swallowing
calves, and that sort of thing, one
would think that the alligator had
very voracious appetite, which was
always in good working order
"And this is all true enough Of the
alligator down there under natural
conditions, and free. But the alliga-
tor in captivity is a very different
proposition. 1t is often very difficult
to get the alligator in captivity to
eat at all, especially at first.
$50 thousands of little alligators
that tourists send up or bring up
from Florida starve to death after
they get here. They live few weeks
or month or two without eating
anything. and then just die.
Maybe this is just as well in the
case of these alligators. for the ALI
gator would hardly do for a house
hold pet, and, as a matter of fact,
the owners of those small alligators
are likely to be pretty well tired of
them before they die.
"But now, with alligators kept for
show purposes, especially the larger
ones, it's different. You can't afford
to have them dying off on you and
you've got to get 'em to feed some
how # they won't eat you've got to
devise some way of making 'em.
zone way of doing this, with the
larger gators, is to throw food into
'em. To be able to do this you have
got. of course, to get them to open
their mouth, and in doing this you
must. of course, exercise due care,
for YOU don't want an alligator to
bite your hand off, or anything like
that.
Zone way of feeding these larger
alligators is to stand off at a safe dis
lance with a stick of suitable length
in one hand and a chunk Of meat in
the other. With the stick you scratch
the alligator's head until you get 1t
angry and it raises its upper jaw
opening its mouth, to snap at you il
II can. Then, when its mouth is wide
omen like that, you hurl the meat
down it's throat, and so you give the
animal nourishment, even though it
had refused to take it of itself.
"Many stable alligator of, say
three or four feet and upward in
length that would otherwise have
been lost has been saved in this man
ner by experienced animal feed
ers. After the gator once gets tc
feeding, why, then it will eat al
right"

Prof Bryce, in his biographical
study of Bishop Fraser, Of Manchester,

who had knocked a man down who had
insulted him. The bishop wrote him a
letter of reproof, pointing out that eX-
posed as the Church Of England was 20
much criticism on all hands. her minis
tiers ought to be very careful of their
! demeanor. The offender replied by
saying: 81 must regretfully admit
that, being grossly insulted, and for
getting in the heat Of the moment the
critical position of the Church of Eng
land, did knock the man down, etc"
Fraser was delighted with the turning
of the tables on himself, and afterward
invited the clergyman to visit him.

COOL LOOKING ROOMS.
and Foliage Are Prime
Requisites.

IE hot weather, when everything out
of doors looks hot and dusty, how re-
freshing it is to enter a room which not
only has lower temperature. but is
arranged in such way that the eye is
rested by its cool appearance. To ar
range rooms for cool effects requires
considerable judgment ami some work.
but it pays in the added comfort of the
family, says the Household Magazine.
Bare floors are the first requisite.
A few rugs, preferably shaded greens
and browns, will relieve the plainncss.
The floor should be stained or painted.
Prepared wood stains are excellent for
this purpose, as they are so easily APP
piled. They come in variety Of col
ors, and have only to be dissolved in
water to be ready for use. The floor
should have one or two coats of oil
after the stain dries.
Blues and greens are cool looking
colors, and one of them may be chosen
from the color scheme of the room.
4 wall paper Of cream and green is
very pretty, and the furnishing can
easily be made 10 harmonic with it
Willow or reed rockers are comforta-
bic and may have head rests Of pale
green with a little pink in the figures
and pink ribbons to tie them with.
Foot stools of various sizes should be
Of the shaded browns or green's to
match the rugs. The desired cOlors
may be secured by using dyes for col
oring the rug rags, and some suitable
material for the stools. a rattan couch
with a supply Of pillows in cool shades,
is both comfortable and cool looking.
Vases and bowls of flowers with
plenty Of foliage. placed on shelves and
tables about the room give the finish
ing touch. The blinds should be kept
closed during the hot part of the lay,
except when the room is opened for
use, when they can be bowed 50 ms o
shut out the glare and give a shat"G
light. Some kinds of vines grow well
in the shade and can be used for such
rooms. The writer once saw a long
box of Wandering Jews placed on the
mantle in a summer sitting room, the
vines reaching almost to the floor.
An open fireplace may be made very
attractive by having a box fitted into
it. filed with growing ferns and wild
flowers. Have a box made that just
fits into the CRATE and, if possible. have
it deeper in the back, slopiDg grad
ually down to the front. Paint the
box a dark shade of green and fill with
rich mould from the woods. In choos-
ing plants with which to fill it. oh lose
those that thrive without sunlight.
