MOLL cUTPURsE.
Bold Highway Robber and the First
English Woman Smoker.

EnglIsh woman smoker.
Mary Firth. better known as Mol
Cutpurse. was notable figure in old
time London life. She had the repu-
tation OF being the first woman 10
smoke tobacco In England.
The length OF her days is disputed
point. but II seems certain that she at
tained the age OF over threescore years
and Ten. IL is asserted that constant
smoking prolonged her life por-
trait representing her in the act OF
smoking forms the frontispiece OF Mi
dleton's comedy of the Roaring Girl.
She also figures in other plays of the
period.
Mary was the daughter Of a shoe
maker living in the Barbican. and Ma
lone gives 1884 as the date of her
birth. She early took to wicked ways
and became a noted "highwayman.'
Among her familiar friends were the
notorious Captain Hind and Richard
Hannah. She was an expert swords
woman. Single handed she robbed on
Hounslow heath General Fairfax of
200 gold jacobuses. shooting him
through the arm and killing two of
his horses on which his servants were
riding. For the offense she was COM
mitted to Newgate. but on paying the
general $1,000 she obtained her liberty.
At one time Mary had $4,000 Of her
own. but by giving money to distress
ed cavaliers she died comparatively
poor Her death took place in July,
1859. and she was laid to rest in st.

DIVING FOR COINS.

The Natives Of Madeira Are Experts
at the Business.
As we drew i'm and came TO anchor
we saw descending upon us a fleet OF
small curious boats filled with half
naked men. We suspected now that
Madeira was a canuibaI island and pre-
pared tor the worst 1t was not quite
as bad as that. They merely wanted
us to throw coins over into the liquid
azure which they call water in this
country whereupun their divers would
try to intercept the said coins some
where between the top and bottom of
the sea. We didn't believe they could
do it. but We tried and. as usual. found
that the other fellow knew his own
game better than we did.
Ii those amphibians did not always
get the coins they generally did. They
could see them perfectly in that amaz-
ing water and they could dive like
seals Some of the divers were mere
children poor. lean creatures who
stood up In their boats and shouted
and implored and swung their arms In
wild invitation TO us to ding our
money overheard. But they did not
want small money-at least not very
small money. They declined to dive for
pennies. Perhaps they could only dis
tinguish the CLEAN of the white metal.
Let nickel or dime be tossed over
and two or three were after it in a
flash. while vehement outbreak OF
Portuguese from all the rest entreated
still further largess. 1t was really a
good show. and. being the first of its
kind. we enjoyed it.-Albert Bigelow
