Never before in the history Of Cairo
were the people SO much aroused
about a crime committed in their
midst as they were yesterday over
the finding of the body of Miss Anna
pelly, in an alley near Twenty-siXth
and Elm streets yesterday morning.
The body was first found by a little
three year-old child of Mr.. and Mrs.
VIM. Boren, who reside on Twenty
fifth street. The child was going to
its gIandfather's house and started
to 60 through the alley but returned
saying that there was something in
the alley OF which 1t was afraid. An
elder child was sent with the little
one and both returned saying Papa
there's some one dead out there. Mr..
Boren went out to investigate and
says the sight that met him made his
blood stand still.
The body lay at one side Of the al
ley. about 100 feet from Elm street.

face blackened and drawn in lines Of

ing torn to shreds exposing the body,
eyes set in death, hands clenched, the
soft ground round about showing
deep marks of the fearful struggle
the poor girl must have made for her
honor which was dearer to her than
life.
This was about 8 o'clock in the
mornsng after dozens of people must
have passed the alley on Elm street
and IN Sycamore street, but none
had CHANGED to look down the alley
to see the body which must have lain
there all night

The End Of the Chase.

unusually watchful until it was fin

for a stroll down the beautiful lane

What Decorations Should Be Used.
Necessary Sanitary Precautions.

where expense is considered. The en-
ameled nursery toilet sets can be
bought for a small sum and are very
convenient Some of the sets dec
GRATED with flowers are charming
In these days the sanitary conditions
are of such important consideration it
is well to instill in the mind of the
nursemaid The old saying Cleanliness
is next TO gOdliness' and to have this
room furnished and arranged so that
it can be easily kept clean. Have a
hardwood stained floor, with one large
rug of blue and white colOring, allow
ing an eighteen inch border. Book
shelves built in the corner spaces of
rather simple design will be found
both useful and ornamental for the
nursery books and toys, which collect
so fast that one is glad to have a place
for them. The nursery thermometer
should always hang in a most con-
spicuous place. This is important, as
the temperature should never be over
68 or 20 degrees. Mothers must not

dren, but instead give them plenty of
fresh air and exercise
The window hangings should be of
simple design. Little plain white

two inch ruffle down the front and

inch and a half heading above the rod,
are pretty for the top and middle sash.

Mohammedan Serenity.

A Mohammedan people enjoy one
great advantage over all others they
never suffer from the anticipation Of
that which is to come, and, as a natu-
raj result, they can always enjoy the
present. although only a few hours
may separate them from disaster or
even from death. Their implicit be-
lief in an ordained future imparts a
dignified repose and outward calm to
all their actions. Thus, in spite Of the
trials and troubles which threatened
the state during my stay at Fee. a
smooth surface Of Interchangeable seren.
ity yelled the inner thoughts of every
individual, from the sultan to the ne
gro at his gates.-Blackwood Magazine.

A Martyr to the Fox.

A fox can climb almost as well as a
cat and will often be found lying in
trees and on the top of ivy covered
walls. High walls covered with ivy
often surround private residences in
hunting districts. One of these do
main walls caused the tragic death Of
a hound in the south of Ireland few
years ago. There was a belt of trees
with thickish underground close up to
the wall, and the hounds were running
tired fox hard through this belt
Suddenly the cry ceased; there were
the unmistakable growing and worry
ing which proclaim 4 kill. The mas
ter jumped off his horse and pushed
his way through the underground. On
getting TO the pack, instead Of finding
a dead FOX he saw to his horror one
of the best hounds torn to pieces. 1t
was easy to understand what had hap
pened. The fox had got over the wall
by the help of some ivy. and the hound
had tried to jump over after him, but,
falling back among the others, had
been killed before they realized their
mistake.-London Standard.

London Street Noises.

A hundred years or so ago no pun
ishment could have been worse thai
that of subjecting the victim to the
inferno of modern London noises if
they had then existed. Dropping wa
ter on the forehead, torturing with
tweezers, setting food before the starv-
ing culprit-out of reach-all of these
were exquisite and refined forms of
horror, but they all pale before night
and day in a modern London street.

PADS FOR WRITING DESK.
These Are Very Convenient and Not
Expensive.


Expensive.
The woman who has a large CORE
spondence has taken to using what is
known as the hasty line pad. By "cor-
respOndence" one doesn't mean letters.
This form of exchanging courtesies has
almost gone out of style. Few people
receive letters any more in the true
sense of the word.
Intimate members Of the family
write each other at more or less fire.
Quent intervals to exchange family
news or ask and answer questions.
The modern definition of "corre-
spondence" is mass of notes, answers
to invitations, letters on business, char
ity, philanthropy and appointment max
ing.
Ones best embossed paper with mon
agram and street number is too expen-
sive to use up by the quire a week in
this fashion. On the writing desks Of
women who live wide life there are
stacks Of small pads which are in
closed in colOred morocco. These are
Of good paper with strong edge and
are detached without giving the look
of being torn off. They are used for
everything except long family letters
Iand formal occasions.
They will not serve for answeri-g in
vitations to weddings or formal din
ners or any of the affairs for which en-
graved invitations are sent out, but
they do for a multitude of other things
and are great convenience and saw
ing Of money.
There is also an oblong card made Of
slightly thicker paper, which may bear
the street number if one wishes to go
to that expense. These are also con-
venient. They slip into the envelope
without the necessity Of folding. They
are used for answering all informal in
vitations, thanking persons for gifts,
especially bridal gifts, and sending eX-
pressions of sympathy or cOngratula-
ton.
