This kind ' of petty thieving is largely confined to the colored race, although now and then we meet with a. white snatcher.

Men will take lessons from ex- perience but women as a. rule have a su- ‘ perclious contempt for advice on such mat- ? ters. If warned of danger they simply smile, as if confident in their superior wisdom, and go on tempting fate until they are robbed.

Have two live fowls ready in the house, for after I have been dead a hundred days I will return to the realms of living men for a time, and come back to our home. Fear not, but if I make to the child, offer me the two fowls, and say ‘ that you yourself Wlll tend the infant. and ‘ that I need not be anxious, that between the dead and the living a gulf is fixed, and I should rest among the departed and not come back and trouble the child. I will look at you fixidly for a. spell, take the fowls, strangle them and begone ne- ver to return. My body will not lie down again in its coffin, but will be transformed into a living tiger. and if hereafter you come out to the place, and see the clothing lying by the coffin, you will know that my words will come true.” Holding her hus- band’s hand, the woman expired.

Three ladies were engaged in conversation. Their subject was church matters and church people. Among the latter was the Wife of the pastor of the leading Methodist congre- gation in the city. The ladies said a good many things about her, some flattering and some decidely otherwise; some things that were true and other things she would not be willing to admit to be true. For , nearly half an hour the gossipers plied ‘ their avocation, and, as the interest arose so did the pitch of their voices. All the time a lady sat opposite them in the car and quietly watched them. When one of gossips remarked that she had never seen the pastor‘s wife referred to and the others expressed a desire to see her, the silent watcher smillcd. After awhilethe car reach- ed the point wherethe lady wished to alight She arose, but before starting toward the door laid her hand on the arm of one of the three who were engaged in conversa- tion, and, with a self-possessed smile, said: “TASK“- “A“ 1..---- ~-.A,i A, T wear, and all-wool merino for summer of such gossimer hghtness that you would not fancy it to be wool at all.

Cattle Kate, Mrs. Kate Maxwell, the “ Belle Starr’, of Wyoming, closed up a gambling house at Bessemer, recovered several thousand dollars which had been lost by her cow- boys, and then saved the lives of the two gamblers, just as the infuriated Cowboys were going to string them up. She is known as “ Cattle Kate,” and runs a small ranche near Bessemer. On Sunday she was robbed of $1500 by her own men and her resentment was aroused against the gamblers. Their room at Bessemer was ‘crowded on Monday night, when Kate strode in, accompanied by her foreman, both armed to the teeth. While Kate covered the dealer with a six shooter Mason, her foreman, secured the box and showed the crowd that the game was an unfair or “ brace ” one. This enraged the cowboys, and gamblers Farley and Bodell were terribly beaten and ordered to pre- pare for lynching The ropes were in sight when “ Cattle Kate” interceded for the two wretches, and announced that she would divide their money. Bodell and Farley were then chased out of town, and their place was fired, and all hands went over to Mrs. Maxwell’s ranche, where a dance and general good time followed. a wealty family, prepossessing in looks, af~ fable in manners and a profesed Christian. 0 He took her from low surroundings, and d for two years lived with him as wife. Then is they were married, and fearing that the marriage might come to ears of the rela- 9 tives, it was performed in Cornwall. Two years more passed, but in the meantime the young man met the daughter of a wealthy Toronto gentleman. On the l s‘rength of his name his manners and his | , pietv, he became engaged to her. Then he attempted to get rid of his wife, and by threats and brutality tried to make her consent to a divorce. The deceived woman, who during four years had proven » the sincerity of her reformation, refused, so one night, obtaining possession of the marriage certificate and all that had pass- ed between them. HE BURNED THE WHOLE. In the meantime his Toronto financee began to think of marriage, and being pressed, though putting the ceremony off from week to week. he at last consent- ed to have it take place at an early date of the present year. The wife, however, hearing of it, forbade the marriage, through her lawyer, on the eve of its celebration. Seeing his game spoiled he adopted stratagem, played to perfection the part of repentant husband, and while keeping up liaisons with several other women, on whom he spent money lavishly prevailed on his wife to go with him on a visit to her relatives in the maritime pro- vinces. One Sunday while there, ' he ac- : companied her to church, where he feel- ing expressed the powerful impression for good made upon him by the eloquent preacher, and the following day suddenly ‘left for parts unkown, taking with him all the money she possessed, except two cents. When the wife, on the eve of be- comingamother, became aware of this she left for this city with the assistance of her relatives. Here she found that he had thrown up his position, and it is un- derstood that he is at present in New York, where he will attempt to obtain a divorce. The wife’s family, who claim that there is nothing whereon to base an application for divorce will do everything they can to prevent it and this evening the sorrow-stricken wife leaves for her parent’s home. .J Odd-Aga- it cannot be explained in the mehher Who Tries To Hide His Villainies Five yezus two t11:re came from the maritime provinces a. youmr and h. mdsolne girl, bent on making her own living. but evil influences, dragged her down and she gradually sunk.

A large number of “hook and eye Baptists” reSide in Oreghan and other towns on the east side of black River, and a more honest, sincere, and. I afi'cctionate class of people. we are told, never settled in northern New York. They derive their name, presumably, from the fact that they never wear buttons upon their clothingâ€"hooks and eyes being used instead. They also dress very plainly, their clothing; being of the “ home spun ” ‘ sort. in all of their transactions they, as l a class, are strictly honest, and will stand by one another as close as brothers. As a rule, they do not marry outside of their own church. On the occasion here refer~ red to three or four of these people started for Missouri, and a dozen or more of their friends came to see them safely started on their journey. For a full half hour before the arrival of the train they stood in a huddle at one side of the depot, deeply engaged in conversation, and at frequent intervals the men would throw their arms around each other and hug and kiss like young lovers. The three women of the party also came in for their share, and cried and sobbed bitterly. The scene was witnessed by several travelling men with a great deal of interest, and the remark was frequent that if all people were as true and loyal in their affections as these people, there would be little use for courts of justice, penitentiaries, etc. ‘ The Empress Eugenie has derived con- siderable benefit from the treatment of the famous Aumberdam specialist to whom she resorted in hope that he would be ableto rid her of ner rheumatism.

The J eweller’s Review tells the story of a young man who purchased a fourteen- carat gold necklace for his best girl. and a few days after rushed into the store .9 dd throwing the present on the coo-liter, declared that he had been swindled. He explained that the owner wore the neck- lace at a reception. and after the first dance, finding it had made a. black m» -k on her neck, she immediately went hours, and the next day returned the piece oF ‘ jewellery, with a. note that. “ she did not like his brass.” The jeweller assured the man that the article was as represented 14- carnt, and while testing .‘it, a. young phy- sician, who was standing near and h:.d overheard part of the story, asked to be told it all, as he believed he could throw some light on the subject. Pretty Soon he laughed outright. and said : " Why, sir, the trouble is with your girl and not the necklace. She has too much sulphur, iron, mercury, salt or acid in her blood, and as any of these substances has an affinity for gold the explanation is clear. I have patients for whom mercurial medi- cines have been prescribed, and the result is that their fingers upon which rings are worn discdored at once.” The customer cooled off and carried his purchase away. mentioned, it must be remanded to the dark ages of ignorance and superstition, and classed with lunar and stellar influen- ces over the hum-m body, witchcraft and other absurdities long since exploded in the progress of true science. Without dwelling on the nature and causes of colds or on what physicians call the pathology of these dismders, I will say that a low or even starvation diet for a few days, mildly Stimulating teas, is better for a bold than any drug or combination of drugs. H with this a. warm bath or a hot footbuth is taken, little more will be needed. Nine cases in ten of colds can be broken up in their early stage by a hot footbath or regular leg bath, keeping the bath as hot as can be bourn until per- spiration arises. After the bath, drink a half a pint of hot lemonade and go to bed. -â€"Woman’s Work.
