Another series of strange coin
e;aences attended the lovers Of
Jeanne Leroy, a native Of Mar
settles. Her first fance was found
drowned, her second was killed in q
tavern hravl, her third vanished, as
j. were, into space, and her fourth
was found lying dead in circum-
stances that pointed to foul plav.
Her fifth. too. whom she married,
almost lost his LIE at the hands Of
a Spania.d. who, however, received
sueh injuries during the struggle
that lis death occurred a few days
later. Although the Spaniard made
no confession. the fact Of his hav-
ing Tor years cherished a fierce
though hopeless passion for the
girl, on whose lover be made such
dassardly attack. seemed to sug-
gest 70 many people that the death
OF one or more Of the other suitors
might be placed to his account.
There is no explanation Of the
fate that overlook the aspirants to
the hand Of another young lady,
the daughter Of Partisan jeweler.
Although seemingly possessed OF
every quality to make man happy,
no sooner had she accepted the offer
of some ardent sutton than on the
latter fell disaster Of his own seek

each engagement ended with the
suicide Of her lover in q foreign
land. whittier apparently he hae
fed ina vain attempt to break fret

FOUGHT Undo. an umbrslla.

Sainte-Beuve was scarcely more
famous for his writings than for his
appearance on certain occasion on
tie field Of honor. The cause Of
the rupture was ridiculous, and the
quarrel had been forced upon him
BY the other party with murderous
intent. On the morning Of the
meeting it rsined heavily, but the
gloom which overcast everything
was in measure turned to mirth
by Sainte-Beuve taking his place
armed with pistol Of the period Of
Francis /. and a large umbrella,
which he proceeded to raise and
hold over himself. The seconds
begged him not to turn SO serious q
matter into jest. Gentlemen" he
answered, "M. Dubois has under

The Japanese manufacture IN a
great variety Of forms iron teaket-
ties which break into song when
the water boils. The song may not
be perfect melody, but it IS per-
haps as agreeable as the notes PRO
duced by some Of the insects that
the Japanese also treasure for their
music. The harmonious sounds Of
the teakettles are produced by
steam bubbles escaping from be-
meath thin sheets Of iron fastened
closely together nearly at the bot
tom. To get the best effects some
skill is required in regulating the
fire. The character Of the sounds
