ERICAN. THE AM FRIG ACM. THE AM MINNESOTA'S WILD GIRL. OMta4 Oatr la R Owm mg I.Ik a H Ililfu4 Hl. 4M A remarkable human monstiwlty been discovered at raynuavill. Via. The daughter of a rich widow at la at plao Utn year old. in all laal time ha never - the free (hi Oty. eo't what occasional glimpse he could caU'h from two mail, bnrrd viadowa of the tittle room in which aha la oonflned. At some time in her latency something iiwurml, just what to one can ay. which terribly frlght MHd her. and no articulate sound, no poken word, hint ever passed her lip ainoe. She hint never had communi cation with human being beside her tether, and now and then a physician, aad even with tliem she could neither uedcrsUind what was aid to her. nor cause herself to be understood. , For the lant twelve year she hat not Vara clothing. No noonor 1 she prop fly clothed than with fearful crte be tear it off. At time it in neces sary to chain her to the wall to keep aar from doing herself Injury. At in terval during the night and day the oat blood-curdling' shrieks and criei Mn from her room. So wild, eo truest, so patbntio are they, ao like tkoee of a wild beast in agony, that people have been known to weep and van to go Into hysterica upon hearing Umbo. At time the makes noises like those t bloating calf, and then she is sup posed to be happy. Hut they do not continue for any length of time. She will either stop and remain quiet, or break iuto wild cries or low, deep aoans. Her hair Is said to bo very long, entirely veiling her body, which Is ail that is known of her personal appearance. She hoi many times been examined fcy physicians, who pronounced the case hopeless. No one can say what is the exact cause of her terrible condition, sad none can suggest a remedy for it Bar health has always been pood, and It Is possible that she will live to an old age. Naked, chained, unintelli gible and apparently subject to the most terrible mental depressions and bodily pains she is still doomed to live. Her mother is tho only one who Stays In the sumo house with her. It is said that all her food is slipped In when she Is asleep, as she attacks any one whom she setts. MOTHERS AS MATCH-MAKERS. Ta Point at Which th rarents' Inter ference Ought to (Hop. There Is a kind of match-making which It Is a mother's duty to attempt Writes Amnjla E. Burr in the Ladies1 Home Journal. Hut it has strict lim itations. It resolves itself Into the Implo duty of introducing to her daughter young men whoso moral character is good, who are in a position to murry, and who, physically, are not likely to repell her. Tho young peo ple may then safely be left to their own Instincts. There nhould be no attempt to coerce; no moral force used to make even a suitable marriage; though ex tremities mny lawfully be used to pre vent an evil marriage. A mother's match-making really begins while her daughter's education is in progress. And it is one of tho Htrnngest of facts that mothers generally force this edu cation in the direction of those quali ties likely to amuse young men music, dancing, singing, dressing, placing games, chatting wittily, etc. Now, such attractions are likely to procure plenty of flirtation; but young men rarely marry the girls they flirt with. And why do not mothers consider, most of all, that approaching period in their daughters' lives when they will or ought to, cease being made love toP Why should the preparation for young ladyhood absorb all the girl's educa tion? How many curriculuras contain any arrangement for education for wifehood or parenthood? Yet. what man wishes to pass his life with a wo man whose only charm is the power to amuse him? He might as wisely dine every day upon candy sugar. MORE THAN UNIQUE. A Railroad Party laes Through a jk Full of Mark Snakes. On his recent homeward trip from San Francisco. C P. Huntington and party had a unique experience, says the liar of the Buffalo Courier. Tho train bearing thorn left San Francisco April 2H, and. after passing through some beautiful sections of country, stopping at Orovillo, Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Doming, El Paso, San Antoniu and Houston, approached New Orleans. For about twenty miles before reach ing tho last named city the train passed over a soft yielding track through what appeared to be a lake. 'That particular section of the country was flooded from the great crevasse in the Mississippi river, about five miles above New Orleans. This lake was full of large black snakes, many of which stretched their repulsive bodies across the track. Some of them were five feet long and as thick as a man's arm. Neither the flood nor the reptiles stopped the train, which got safely into New Orleans, and from there proceeded on its way to New York. Harely Called For. After a young woman in Philadel phia had made a purchase and had gone the druggist remarked: "That's the first time in five years I've had a call .for dragon s blood, v hat is it? Well, its a vegetable substance, ob tained from the fruits of several small palms in the East Indies. Many years ago it was in great demand among women who wished to win back their recreant lovers, they burning a small lump of it with a certain form of in cantation. It was also used as an astringent That girl has probably heard of it from her grandmother. and has determined to test its virtues, Which one? Well I can't say." AN INGENIOUS CIPHER. Umm tho friends of rrs Thlof Cot TlwawliM lato J all. Some rur ago the friend of a Parisian thief adopted m decidedly unique method of carrying on a clan- deMtinu oorrpoiidenoe with him while he was awaiting trial. One day the jailer wa vlltd by the prisoner' be trothed, whoaoked hlra to give Ier lover an envelope. This upon being Cloned wan found to oontuin simply a small liH'k of her hair, around which was folded a leaf of a book. The jailer did not consider it worth hi while to deliver this souvenir to the culprit and therefore threw it aside. A day or two later a similar in cisure won handed in at the prbon gate and shared the fate of the prede cessor, in tne course oi a weeic an other was left by 'the same person. This aroused the suspicion of the gov ernor of the prison, to whom bad been detailed the circumstance. He de termined to investigate the moaning. and accordingly first examined the printed leaf. J his he found was torn from a novel and contained twenty-six line on each side. He then turned hi attention to the hair, and discovered that there were twenty-six pieces of unequal length. This puzzled him for a while, and then suddenly jumping to the conclusion that there must be some connection between the number of the printed lino and the number of hair he laid each of the latter along the line of the page they respectively reached, beginning with the shortest hair, at the top of the loaf. Aftr changing them about several times he discovered that each hair pointed to a different letter, and the combination thus produced formed a slang sentence, by means of which the prisoner was given to understand that his friends had ascertained the day on which he wan to be taken to court and were determined to make a bold at tempt to rescue him as soon as he made his appearance. Taking the cue the governor adopted every precaution to frustrate the well laid plans of tho outsiders; the attempt was made and, as a natural conse quence, the conspirators soon found themselves in the same condition as the one fur whom they had planned the rescue. Wedding Gift. The wedding gifts of to-day are marvels of the jeweler's art And how wonderful are their uses! Think of a diamond studded toothbrush! How our forefuthers would stare to see the delight tho daughters of our timo manifest over the receipt of a button hook, the handle of which is fashioned out of solid gold, with throe rows of brilliunts coruscating along the hook itself. What would our dear old grandmothers think if they could re turn to earth in youth again and be come the recipients of hairbrushes tho backs of which would have made Ben veuuto Cellini jealous of their maker's art; of nail scissors and powder boxes the cost and intrinsic value of which would have paid the annual running expenses of tho old home twice over; of loces n square inch of which would have raised the mortgage upon the manor house in which her life was lived and which her presence glori fied? Candidly, we did not know whut she would think. We are inclined to believe that who would shake her head in deprecation of such magnificence, and cling ull the mora closely to the little silver sugar bowl that she received when love was young and take comfort in counting over the battered, homely dozen of spoons that filled her soul with delight in tho days gone by. Continent. Keep Away Front Australia. "The streets of Melbourne nnu Sid ney," says a gentleman from Australia, "swarm with the unemployed. They are not vicious or lazy on the cont rar v, are, many of them, intelligent to a degree. It is common to find among this army of unemployed graduates of English universities young men of culture, whose families stand high in social circles at homo. These young men are lured to Australia by the ro mantic charm that seems to envelop new countries at a distance, and they expect to secure a competence in a very brief time. They go there, live high while their money lasts, and only learn their mistake when every shilling is gone. I could secure the services of 1,500 intelligent, young, healthy men for ten shillings a week and board. The ranches are glutted with help, und experienced help at that" Oar Small Coin. Half dimes were first coined in Octo ber, 1792,' and continued at intervals until 1806, thon discontinued until 1828. . The issue ceased in 1873. The 3-cent silver coins, first issued in 1851, ceased in 1873. The 5-cent nickel was authorized in 1866, and has been issued regularly to the present time. In 1856 nickel 3-cent pieces and a small number of nickel cents were coined. The 2-cent bronze pieces were issued in 1864 and discontinued in 1873. The bronze cents issued in 1864 have been coined annually since. Hard Drinker. Mrs. Stanley is amazed at the quan tities of ice water Americans drink. But then they drank last year over 20,000,000 barrels of lager beer, also, not to mention numerous other things. The wife of the great explorer must know that we are thirsty people. Bos ton Globe.

The Arizona Kicker man has a forra lable rival In the editor of the Nephl Ensign, a paper publUhod about sixty miitw south of Salt Lake. He had a battle with hi pot.timu.ter of the town a few day ago, which he describe as a follows: "While passing W. II. Cage's saloon yesterday afternoon we ateped inside on a matter of btwine and were ao onsted by OuruneHtoeined. half-drunken Festmaster, John Witbeck. with tho request that we have a drink with him. Being particular about our company, we politely but firmly declined, only to be urged again and again in a brutal manner, while we positively declined to accept Stepping up to where we stood, the burly bully seized us by the collar, saying: "I'd like to strangle vou and all your anMoclutos." We then told him to proceed to business if that wo his dwire, when, without further warning, the cowardly braggart struck u In our eye. This naturally raised our ire and we sailed in to make the fur fly. We were just beginning to get warmed up and were taking the same interest we have so often exper ienced in punching a sack of sand when Policeman Pitt appeared on the so eon and stopped our fun juHt as we were putting our fist on our opponent's jaw. "We went before Judge Stout and pleaded not guilty to a charge of fight ing, but after hearing the evidence of a few witnesses his honor decided that we hod fractured the statute, which would take a $2.60 bill to repair. "He did not offer any suggestions as to where we could get so much money, so we went out and 'dug up.' , "The other fellow blundered up to the mournor's bench, pleaded guilty and deposited the necessary amount in postage stamps, which released him from custody, when ho waddled bock to the saloon to renew his alcohollo saturation, It will now bo in order for him to attack our oftlce boy." Absinthe, Production and ICflVcta. The distillation of absinthe is carried on in tho valley of the river of Aigues In eastern France. Its production and use in tho form of liqueur are so rapid ly increasing and with such unfortunate results in the French population, as to constitute tho question one of national Importance. There are two species of the absinthe plaut the large and small which are used respectively in the manufacture of absinthe liqueurs and vermouth. The larger of these, gener ally known as wormwood, grows abun dantly in various districts of Central Europo, notably in Jura and French Alps. In manufacturing the liqueur the upper leaves and twigs of the plant are maoerated hypson, calamus clt ronelle, anise, fennel, budiune and other vegetable substances. The de coction thus obtained is distilled, and the product is treated withalcohol.sugar and various coloring matters. Ab sinthe is a powerful but destructive nerve stimulant, which may be valua ble in cases of exhaustion or extreme fatigue but, like chloral and opium, it is liable to abuses, which in the aggre gate far outweigh all the benelits which are derived from, its legitimate use. Tho effects of general and unrestrained absinthe drinking in France are coming to be recognized in forming the basis of one of tho gravest dangers that threaten the physical and moral wel fare of the people. Habjr Logic. She was ironing her dolly's new gown, Maid Marian, four years old, With her brows puckered down In a painstaking frown Under her tresses of gold. 'Twas Sunday and nurse coming in Exclaimed in a tone of surprise: ''Don't you know it's a sin Any work to begin On the day that the Lorn sanctifies!" Then, lifting her face like a rose, Thus answered this wise little tot: "Now don't you suppose The pood Lord he knows This little iron ain't hot," The U nletting Boy. If ever in the course o. human events heaven blesses me with an heir of the small-boy class, I shall teach him to whistle early in his young career and encourage him to warble merrily away throughout the sunshine and the shado of youth and age. I never see a youngster with his hands shoved down in his pants pockets, his head thrown back, his cheeks swelled out like a pair of bellows and his puckered lips piping a jolly tune that I don't set that boy down as an innocent hearted lad who wouldn't do anything more harmful than rob a watermelon patch or such. He wouldn't tell a malicious lie or do a cowardly trick. These are the works of the sly youngster with the averted eye and the soft tread, who U afraid to whistle lest he make a noise and attract attention. The whistling boy never makes the footpad or the cut-throat though he may never be president I can't help having my suspicion about a man who never learned to whistle in his youth. In nine cases out of ten he has a falsetto voice and a bad digestion, and his ideas on many points of morality are questionable. New York Ledger. A Discontented Spirit. ' Wife: "Do you remember ten years ago you promised me when you had made 500,000 you would retire from business. Now that you have it sob bing, why do you go on?" Husband: "That's just lite you. You are nevei satisfied." Salt In Africa.
