Not to be behind onr own Dr. Parkhnrat when he began his crnsade, Lady Hem Somerset determined to take the bnll by the horns and collect evidence her­ self. She secured another lady as zeal­ ous as herself as a companion, and the pair obtained the services of a young curate of their aoquaintanoe as male es- cof*- ' / Now, it happens that Lady Somerset is a womau of very generous proportions and witlial so handsomely made that some of the ungodly have been wicked enough to suggest that her ladyship would make an enchauting living pic­ ture herself. It chanced also that the lady who was to accompany her was of a similarly generous build, if anything rather the larger of the two. On the other hand, the young curate was slight and weazened, with a pale, mild face, that bore a perpetual air of melancholy. The trip was made, and when the de­ tective party was plaoed upon the stand during the hearing the justice asked her ladyship if in her travels about in the slums she bad been molested or accosted in any offensive way. Lady Henry was compelled to reply that 6he had not, but that, on the contrary, she had rather re­ spectful treatment. Her companion gave similar testimony. When the little curate took the stand, the judge asked tbe same question of him--if be had been aocosted. "Tea," replied the little man in a shrill voice, ' 'and very offensively too." "Well," said the judge, "what did the women say to you?" "Well, sir," the curate declared, with comical indignation, "in one of the musio balls a couple of women came up to me, and one of them brazenly ohuoked me under the oh in and said, 'Why so sad, Willie?'

Of Campbells lives of the lord chan­ cellors, in the succession of which there was a possibility (hat ho might himself appear, Lord Brougham said that it had added a new terror to death. Life has been so stuffed with new terrors by tbe bacteriologist that there is hardly room for another, and beside him the most prolix and prosaio historian and biog­ rapher becomes an innocent and harm­ less figure indeed. There is hardly any physiological or moral condition which is not now fitted with its bacillus, the proportion and structure of that micro­ scopic reptile being given with diabol­ ical accuracy and verisimilitude. It would really be a relief not to know quite so mnoh of the minute organi­ zations which accompany morbid path­ ological states if there were any way of escaping it. The doctors have to know, of course, but the knowledge might be confined to them, as the sacer­ dotal mysteries used to be to the priest­ hood. It would save no end of popular anxiety and alarm. With every symp' torn the patient is now assured that he is assailed by a new and virulent micro­ coccus, and the constantly published re' searches of the microscopists tend to iu- flatne his imagination and increase his alarm. Here is an Italian bacteriologist who says he has discovered the bacillus of old age, and when he has found ont tbe right sort of salt to jput on its tail its ravages will be at an end, and old age, as a condition, will pass away, subsist ing only as a theory or remote retro spect. He has not yet disclosed the structural outlines of this curious reptil­ ian debutante, and it may be only an after dinner vision, to which science will deny a recognized place, leaving old age, as it was before, an incurable condition, with an invariably progress ive tendency, in no heed ofjbagjraia to accelerate it--New York Tribom -- :-- ) Colored Florldlans In Clover.

The freeze was an unmitigated blessing to them, and they luxuriated on frozen oranges for two weeks after­ ward. It was fun to see them. They would gath'br around the various ship­ ping points, and when a lot of fruit was ordered to tbe cremator they would help, themselves before it was hauled away. Some of the boys would eat two dozen frozen oranges at a sitting, or standing, rather, and tbe feat did not seem to harm them in the slightest. Some of the bootblacks and newsboys made a point of buying 5 cents' worth of frozen oranges every day for their dinner. They eould get a dozen )arge ones for a nickel, and they would eat them way down to the yellow hida A white boy who attempted the same performance would have had several different kinds of cramp colic in less than 15 minutes. --Florida Times-Union.

The success of Count Caatellane will be oertain to cause such societies tu spring up all over Europe. By Jove, the government ought to in­ terfere ! This is contract labor if qver there was such a thing, and our heiresses are equally responsible under the law I They bring these fellows out here, they induce them to come with promises of employment, and, by gad 1 old chap­ pies, I don't think it's fair to us at all What show have we plain "misters" got?

It's the handle to the name, the dreary old tumble down castle, that catch the rioh girl's fancy, and we have neither of those commodities. Upon my word, it makes my heart sick, and persuades one to go out and get lost in the blizzard, to think that a little frog eating Frenchman can blow into New York and in a month's time accumulate $15,000,000, with a wed­ ding present of $2,000,000 thrown in. If the law won't help us, I say that we dudes ought to organize into some­ thing like an old time Know Nothing association and hamstring every decent looking foreigner that arrives on these shores and cannot prove that he isn't after an American heiress.

FRENCH KLEPTOMANIA Bow Be Was Nipped and the KMBOM Goethe Medallion Recovered. The superb medallion of Goethe by the famous sculptor, David of Angers^ was recently missed from the Paris Louvre. Watch was set upon the other art treasures in the room in which it had been 6hown. At length an old man, respectably dressed, was discovered try­ ing to open a case by unscrewing the hinges. • On being arrested he declared that he was tightening the screws of the hinges, not taking them out He was detained in custody, and a search was made of his rooms. Here was found the missing medallion, together with a large number of other art treasures and bits of bric-a-braa There were alsotools not unlike a housebreaker's. The kleptomaniac, who is a bachelor of 63, has been ascertained to be a man of considerable fortune, who spent large,' sums in artistic salesrooms. It is pro­ posed by tbe magistrate to keep him ip custody for a few days and then release him, his friends depositing 10,000 fraiics as security for his good behavior.W Paris Letter. ^ A Shocking BotH* ,,1 A hotel in Chicago is so heavily charged with electricity that the guests cannot move around without getting a shock which is often painfuL It is so bad that when one walks \across the room a spark will leap over)a space of two inches.

"' tewed In Parte. ' '-^1 L'Agenee Havas, the great distritatf* of news at Paris, has introduced reoBath--lJi ly a system of telegraphic typewritwi \*\ which for rapid spreading of in fornix ;• tion exoels anything known. The ma* V1 chine was invented as well as perfected by an American, Mr. Wright, and. aft- er some adaptation necessary for the pe- •<.•:$$ culiar purpose it had to serve, prinnti ^ now the perfection of an apparataRB fat the news bureau. A typewriter ha the central station works the machine, and all the subscribers receive the identinal information in less than one-third -the time required by ordinary telegraphic transmission. Absolute accuracy ia guaranteed, the operator sees what he ia writing, and mutilation or dropping of words is impossible. The system of news distribution is very complicated, bpt great pains have been taken to secure it against any like­ ly interruption of the service. All the wiring is through underground cables, one cable being allowed for a group of 16 subscribers, but there are SO wires in each cable, allowing a reserve of five wires for each circuit ' The machine is quite different from the old Amerioan tickers, in that tbe paper used is not a strip three-quarters of an inch wide, but a roll of paper 6 ̂ inches in width. Tbe principle is that of a typewriter, each key of which is connected with a special communicator, allowing an electric cur­ rent to pass through tbe line, upon which are disposed a given number of receivers with typewriting attachments, but without any clockwork. A typo reel guided by the current from the cen­ tral station prints upon a roll of paper as in a typewriter. The comm mentioned above is set going by a electric motor receiving its energy firow ,, a battery of 60 Tudor aoramnlatarii,~~ Nature., • ..
