PEG Woffineton's Farewell.

Sir Johnston Forbes s-Robertson's tri
umphant leave-taking of the theater
forms a strange contrast to the tragic
farewell Of that popular stage favor
ite. Peg" Wellington, relates the Lon
don Chronicle. Peg was playing Rosa
lind at Covent Garden on the night Of
May II. 1857. for the benefit of two
minor actors and a French dancer,
when she was overcome with sudden
faintness. She struggled bravely on
until the end, when she staggered of
the stage. Recovering after a few mo
ments. she came forward to speak the
epilogue. but had proceeded no fur

George Brown. Office Boy.

George Brown writes the editorials
and attends to the exchange work of
a big metropolitan daily newspaper.
all OF which compels him to read
oceans OF other papers. It was his
habit to send his Office boy to the
postofiice every day to drag back
tremendous bundle of papers.
One day the boy, who was red
headed and hot-tempered. received his
bundle In the corridor OF the post
office, cut the strings and scattered
the newspapers In wild confusion all
over the floor. After that he ran wild
among them. kicking them and slap
ping them about.
An official of the postofiice called
up Browns office with the purpose of
informing him that he had sent a
crazy boy to the office and that he had
scattered the papers all over the build
Ing. Brown was not In when the call
was made. but later the Official of
the postofilce informed him that. when
remonstrance was made to the boy,
he exclaimed wildly:

anyway! I'm onto him. I'm the only
person on the newspaper that knows

Right Living for Health.

Physical ailments ordinarily are due
to some previous misuse of the bodily
or mental equipment. The law of COM
pensation works by infiicting diseased
conditions on one who does not live
right, who fails to obey the rules of
health, of sanitation and similar means
for preventing sickness. Because con-
servation of the human race has be-
come an important consideration, the
remarks of a writer in Health Culture
on this subject are pertinent.
THE science of prevention has al
ready reached stage with many per-
sons where they are in control of their
habits and appetites, 80 or 40 years in
advance of the age at which their par
ents or grandparents died of Bright's
disease, hardening of the arteries, ap-
oplexy, diabetes, cancer, etc, in order
to prevent themselves from being
overtaken by these diseases at the
same age, prevention being based up
on the tendency of children to in
herit the habits of their parents.
Instead of people waiting until af-
ter they are sick for doctors to dose
them with drugs, many are living in
the open air, eating better food and
employing their brains to secure
health, efficiency and long life.
Carrying the idea Of prevention and
conservation still farther. many alert
parents are beginning to rear their
children from babyhood in habits
both mental and physical in character
with which to overcome the conditions
that caused disease and death among
their ancestors"

CLEVER WOMEN SPIES
LINE OF WORK IN WHICH THEY
EASILY oUTpo MEN.
To Unusual Powers Of Trickery They
Add the Charm Of Femininity and
Thus Win the Confidence
They Seek.

Women from time immemorial have
been the greatest spies in history.
Their charms and resources adapt
them to every line of apprehensive
endeavor, from tracking the erring
New York husband to obtaining the
plans and the specifications of the bat
tleships and. the forts Of the great
powers.
To those who are acquainted with
the history of espionage, this state
ment comes as no surprise, for nearly
all the most sensational spying cases
of recent years have been engineesed
by unscrupulous women.
For when it comes to trickery there
is no match for clever woman, espe-
cially if, as is often the case, she has
natural beauty allied to her powers of
stealing condolences.
Only few years back an important
German fortress had to be entirely re-
built owing to France obtaining ex-
tensive and valuable information re-
garding its ornaments and the geog-
raphy of the important portion of Ger
man frontier that it guarded. And
this act was made necessary owing to
the ramifications of French woman
whose attractive personality enabled
her to worm these secrets from i'm
portant Berlin officials, in whose
homes she was implicitly trusted and
entertained.
Recently a charming woman who
posed as a governess was sentenced
to four years penal servitude for spy
ing. She was employed by two Euro
pean powers, and by acting as a gov
erness to the children of naval officers
in Paris and Berlin she paved the
way to acquaintance with those hold
ing responsible positions.
With remarkable audacity she an
nexed charts and plans and sold them
in the right quarters. This she found
an easy task, having, In her position
of governess, ample means of learning
in what part of the house such docu-
ments were stored, and it was not
until bunch of duplicate keys OF a
number of admiralty safes were found
in her possession that suspicion fell
upon her.
EVERY OHe IeLleulDerS lIe Seu5dllOu
several years 40 when most complete
plans of the interior Of the first Brit
ish dreadnought were published in a,
German newspaper. About this time
an attractive American woman of Ger
man descent disappeared from Lon
don's society circles, where, by rea-
son Of her charming personality and
apparent wealth, she had been given
hearty welcome.
An inquiry was held on the affair.
and it was suggested that this woman
probably knew good deal about the
leakage of these important plans, and
probably further proceedings would
have been taken had not the honor of
several officers of high standing in
naval and society circles been in
volved.
