Curious Corsican Customs.

When a Corsican woman dies she Is
always buried in a new costume, which
sometimes with the poorer classes takes
I'D most of the family savings, and, as
the heat of the climate renders burial i'm
perative within twenty-four hours. the
new gown is generally commenced direct
~ the dying persons illness assumes a
serious form.
Corsicans reverence the dead, and a
feature in a funeral is the 'improvisa-
tores"-women whose business it is to
improvise prose-poetry to the mourners
often this improvising is wonderfully
beautiful and breathes the true feeling
OF sorrow.
The death hunters attend funerals
and afterward wrestle with the mourners;
if relative of the deceased gets the
better in the combat 1t is assumed that
his affection for the departed relative
was absolutely genuine.
When the corpse leaves the house the
women gather at an upper window and.
tearing out handfuls of their hair, throw
II on the coffin. The rich hire women
mourners who scratch their faces, and
are paid in proportion to the injuries they
infiidt on themselves in their paroxysms
of grief.
A Corsican widow wears a strip of
black material tied on her eyes for a
week, and during that period she is fed
and led about by her friends; no room In
her house is cleaned and no fire lighted
for the same period, says Woman's Life
In the cemeteries are a succession OF
openings: these are the tombs. and inside
them are rich hangings. flowers. poetry
and lamps which the mourners place
there 10 remembrance of the departed.

Blushing a Youthful Trouble.

AS a rule, blushing is only trouble Of
the very young. and therefore to Older
people Is a great charm. To see pretty,
ingenious girl color gracefully Is charm
ing: to see the fitful color come and go
lightly and suddenly from a desire to
please, or excitement, is to recognize one
of the many un6efinable. feeting charms
Of youth. With an older. woman, how
ever, it is different. Just as shyness Is
charming in q girl, so blushing is pretty
But a shy woman is an awkward one,
and it is painful to see her color a dull,
deep red under special or unusual cir
cumstances. 1t is so true that one ages
virtues become another ages faults. But
youth never realizes it's especial at
fractions till they have gone, so one and
all may profit by these hints.
Blushing is generally caused by ex-
cessive nervousness or self consciousness
or hysteria. The last is real disease.
and must be attended to by doctor; the
two first are mental, and can easily be
checked, says Womans Life.
Sensitiveness and excessive modesty
can best be cured by forgetfulness OF
self. Train yourself never to think of
yourself. Do not be retrospective, do not
be self depreciatory, simply try. es-
pecially when with others, to think of
yourself not at all. You will soon find
you can enter crowded room without
any reddening of the face or miserable
shyness II 1t is almost impossible, con-
centrate your mind on some outside ques-
ton. ] knew a shy little girl who tried
to get through, mentally. her multiplica-
ton table, and even so slight a concen-
tration as that diverted her thoughts and
made her forget herself. 1t is hard to
ones pride but salutary to remember
very few people think of ono at all Never
give way to it; ignore 1t; If you feel the
blush coming. talk on. and it dies away.

Colored Gauntlets. !

Though white gloves have already re-

save for evening wear and with the white

worn in the day time.
But to render those that are absolutely

of past days they have gauntlets lined

CAUGHT DRAGGING GIRL AWAY
Young Italian Tough Put ~ Desperate RE-
sistance When Arrested.

Three young Italian toughs terrified a
number Of girls last night in Thomas Jeffer-
son Park at 18th street and the East River,
by seizing every one they could lay hands
on, pulling them from the walks, hugging
and kissing them and in other ways
making themselves obnoxious. Nearly all
the women and girls were fleeing from the
park when Policeman Deniger of the East
lO4th street station was told Of the actions
Of the Italians.
Deniger found the men just as one Of
them was pulling Rose Smith. 10 years old,
of Fifth venue and Fifteenth street. Brook
Ign. toward a secluded boat house on the
river. He had dragged her 100 feet before
he saw the policeman running toward them.
Then he released the girl and ran toward
the river.
On the dock Of the %boathouse Deniger
caught the Italian, but the latter showed
fight. He tripped the policeman and al
most threw him into the river. After
struggling all over the dock Deniger finally
subdued his prisoner and took him to the
station, where he said he was Ralph Maroni,
20 years old. OF 3Oi East 18th street. In
the fight the policeman was struck on the
left wrist by a club in Maroni's hands.
Deniger recognized Maroni az a man whom
he had sent to Sing Sing on a similar charge
several years ago. He was held on a charge
made by Miss Smith and also for ~assaulting
a policeman. His two companions escaped.

SPEEDER RAN AWAY WITH cor

Into . Ditch and Wrecked IT,.

HEMPsTEAD, l.. J.. July IA chauffeur,
who later soid that his name was George
Dunbar, tried to get away to-day after
Chief Of Police Vanderwater had arrested
him for speeding, and as a result the machine
was 80 badly wrecked that it will cost at
least 500 to fix il up. l.. A Arnold Of
Garden City owns the auto. so Dunbar said.
When Vanderwater stopped the car and
told the chauffeur that he was under arrest
the chauffeur said.
Get aboard, chief--he saw the title on
Nanderwater's Cap-"and I'll take you
around 10 the coop with me"
underwater stepped onto the running
board and told his prisoner 20 drive 10 the
village hall. The car chugged off. When
they reached the point where the road to
Garden City branched OF the chauffeur,
according to the chief, started to make
the turn and put on top speed.
The sudden and unexpected acceleration
nearly threw the chief from the running
board, but he hung on. He yelled to his
prisoner TO stop but the fellow wouldn't
heed. Then he determined not to let the
man get away in that fashion, 80 he stepped
a little nearer the front, and grabbed the
steering wheel. The chauffeur tried to
push him back, but Vanderwater hung on
and with all his strength threw the wheel
around.
The machine shot on to the right. There
was a ditch there, a pretty deep me-, and
into this the auto ploughed its way, still
chugging and snorting as though trying to
burrow a hole into the earth. The chauffeur
was thrown out. The chief, who had
jumped, was there to nab him. And in
mighty short order he had him back to the
villa ge hall, where the man was ined s25.
Fifteen other autoists were pinched in
thisv vicinity to-day. Heretofore the Nassau
county authorities had made but few arrests
