lloupht Her Crave and Died.

One of the most pathetic cases of suicide which hfis been recorded in some time occurred in Krookline. Mass., the other day. While passing through an out-of-the-way portion of Holyhood cemetery, a Brookline citizen stumbled against the body of a woman. In the dress was a bottle of morphine ta-blets. Medical experts declared that she died from morphine poisoning and that it was undoubtedly a case of suicide. In a large wallet in her pocket was found the deed of a lot in the cemetery. It was made out to Margaret Flynn. There was also a receipt which showed she had paid $33 for the lot the same day. Nobody knew who the woman was. The suicide was evidently very deliberate. The grave she had paid for was dug for the lonely woman and she was laid at rest in the spot she had selected.

Live Thine Worn as .Jewelry.

Women have taken to wearing jewelry that is alive and crawling. There is a little animal known as the Japanese terrapin which for many years has been allowed to make its humble way unnoticed. Then of a sudden some fickle Parisian ladies began to tire of tlwdr brilliant chameleons, which they had formerly been fond of wearing as

TURTLE AS ORNAMENT.

a substitute for jewelry, and the pretty little terrapin was attached. This in turn is fastened to a very newest fad. Then New York women Look up the idea, ajid a New York jeweler, in response to the demand, has just ordered some hundreds of these living ornaments. The terrapin is a harmless little creature, most amiable and unobtrusive in disposition and modest likewise in appetite. When the wearer is tired of htm as an ornament he may safely be liept in a bo: and will subsist contentedly on a little water, and a fly or two every msM:'- "He has a pretty

mottled sIielT, to which the gold chain is easily attached. This in turn is fastened to a stickpin, which may be elaborate or otherwise. A gold heart is the simplest design, and a gold dagger is likewise popular. The terrapin if often worn with evening gowns, when he astonishes the public by crawling over his owner's fair neck.

She Spoke to the .Tnry.

I There was laughter such as even comic opera never evoked in the court of special sessions in New York the other day. The young woman who was the cause had never been in a court of justice prior to her appearance as a witness. She took a position with her back to the jury and began telling her story to the court The justice said to her: "Please speak to the jury, miss the men sitting behind you on the benches." The witness art once turned around, says the New York Times story, and, making a polite bow to the jury, said, with perfect gravity, "Good morning, gentlemen"'

Aristocratic Worklipmen.

1*ho discovery that a French nobleman has been working as a "docker" in London recalls other c?o-fes of aristocrat ef long lineage who have been reduced to similar straits. The Marquis cle Beatimanoir is a laborer in a flour mill near Nantes: the Homte de St. Pol is a gas-bill collector, and the Vicomte de St. Maglin dilvee a cab in Paris.

A Paradox.

"Man," said the corner evangelist, "is made of clay." "Aw, git out." retorted Mr. Perry Fatettie. who chose to assume that the remark was directed to himself. "Ef man is made of dirt, why is it that the dryer he is the more his name is mud?"

A COOL VICTIM.

Betlred Burglar Tells of I7nlqn* cldent in HU Life.

"I think about the most curious man I ever met," 6ald the retired burglar to the Boston Postman, "I met in a house In Eastern Connecticut, and I shouldn't know him either if I should ever meet him again, unless 1 .should hear him speak. It was so dark where I met him that I never saw him at all. I had looked around th« house downstairs and actually hadn't seen a thing worth carrying oft, and it wasn't a bad-looking house on the outside, either. I got upstairs and groped about a little and finally turned into a room that was darker than Bfypt. I hadn't gone more than three steps in this room when I heard a man say: 'Hello, there!' 'Hello,' says I. 'Who are you?' said the man, 'burglar?' "And I said yes, I difl wmething in that line occasionally. 'Miserable business to be in, ain't it?' said the man. His voice came from a bed over in the corner of the room and I knew he hadn't ev»n set up. "And I said, 'Well, I dunno I've got to support my faniily •©me way.' 'Well, you've just wa»t®d a night here,' said the man. 'Didn't you s« anything downstairs w»rth stealing?' 'And I said no, I hadn't. 'Well, there's less upstairs,' says the man, and I then heard him turn over and settle down to go to sleep MPJn. I'd like to have gene over there and kicked him. But I didn't. It was getting late and I thought, all things considered, that I might Jtost as well let him have his sleep out."

TO BUY THE POPE A CITY.

Constantinople, More Than Rome, la Likely to Be Purchased.

It is suggested that the Roman Catholics of Christendom shall subscribe 11,000,000,000 to buy Rtme and a nearby seaport for the pope, says Harper's Weekly. The belief is expressed that the Italian government might sell the property without serious detriment to its political integrity and that the money could be used to great advantage in relieving Italy of part of the burden of her public debt It is not I proposed to turn over the principal to the vendors, but to place it in trust and to pay its annual proceeds into the

Italian treasury as long as the pope remains undisturbed in the papal territory. The plan is a very pretty one and there are those who think the money might be raised, and that King Humbert's government would appreciate the advantages of such a bargain. But would Rome be the best purchase the pope could make with the money? Ohicago would iak« him vaatly cheaper and give him port privileges on Lake Michigan, but she could a»t engage to make him monarch of an American township at any price. But there is a Constantinople, an excellent city, where popes have lived before, full of ready-made churches, built by Christians, and nearly ripe now for consecration. Constantinople seems liable to come inco the market any day. if the pope could buy it of the sultan that would be a deal worth subscribing to and worth turning a page of history to record.

Fortune* of the Old World,

"When reading of the large sums possessed by modern millionaires It Is Interesting to recall the notable fortune* of ancient days. Croesua, whose nam* has become a byword fer excessive wealth, could certainly net have bought up a Vanderbilt his whole fortune did not much exceed three millions. A far greater sum was left by the famous and miserly Tiberius, who was worth £23,625,000 at his death, and it is said that his successor. Caligula, squandered this immense wealth within a year. Seneca had a tidy little portion of £3,500,000, which could hardly have been the case had his philosophy been pure and unalloyed. Appius, discovering that his treasury contained only £80,000, committed suicide from fear of poverty a single repast cost Lucullus £20,000, and at one of her banquets Cleopatra made Antony drink a pearl valued at £10,000. In extent of fortune certain living millionaires may beat the ancients, but in the ma'.ter of extravagance we think the b7 is on the other side.—Scraps.

Nature's Cold-Storap IlnuKe.

I In the valley of the Petchora river, whidh flows from the Ural mountains into the Arctic ocean near Nova Zembla, there is a state of things which is attracting the attention of iiauiralists, and is only one more example of how judiciously nature does her work when her primitive conditions are observed. This valley has a s'.urdy growth of crowberries, cloudberries, cranberries, any number of small [niitbearing plants, with heath moss and lichens, some of which bear seeds and fruit in great profusion. An eminent ornithologist, in the course of his researches In this locality, stopped for a little time. There were millions of acres covered with these growths. The

Arctic summer lia.s a perpetual nun. and the indigenous plants and trees grow and develop with great rapidity. The summer comes suddenly, and with It innumerable birds of all varieties but they c^nie to what seems a barren waste, for there is nothing visible but rnow and ice. Within twenty-four hours, however, this frost-bound region changes its appearance the snow dissolves, lie ice melts away, and nature's bounty stands revealed. The autumn snow falls here and cover the plants with their loads of fruit, kerp'ng it in tiie nj'3t perfect condition until tho firriugt:i.ne, -when it furni.ihrs .feed for the miil'i*ns of bird" that ir.?l:ef this

BITTER TAS'I E-

It Aids in the Detection of Unwhole­

some Food.

Daniel Webst. the famous White trial in Salem, Mars., years ago declared that "murder will out." This masim has been found applicable to many other things besides murder. Housewives know ir to be true when there is alua In baking powder. A bitterness in the bread at once betrays the alum's presence. It can't conceal its true nature. The alum bitterness "will out," and becaus-s it will, pbjsicians, who. understand the harmful effect of alum on the system, are al a loss to know why people continue to buy bauingpowders containing it. All baking powders sold for twenty-Eve cents a pound and and less contain alum. There is Burely no economy in using these cheap pow ders. For a pure cream of tartar powder, as Dr. Price's was shown to bo at the World's Fair, goe1* so much farther and gives so much better results there is no doubt of its being more economical in the long run.

Reports of the Stite Board of Health can be obtained by any physieiau of the county by calling at Dr. Keegan's office in this city.
