JACK THE RIPPER. His Mysterious Identity Cleared at Last by a London Specialist. Dr. Forbes Winslow, of London, a well-known specialist on suicide and insanity, says that “Jack the Ripper,” who by his crimes terrorized London a few years ago, is incarcerated in a county lunatic asylum in England. “ ‘Jack the Ripper’ was a medical student, of good family. He was a young man, of slight build with light hair and blue eyes. He studied very hard and his mind, being naturally weak, gave way. He became a religious enthusiast and attended early service every morning at St. Paul’s. “His religious fervor resulted in homicidal mania toward the women of the street and impelled him to murder them. He lodged with a man whom I knew, and suspicion was first directed toward him by reason of the fact that he returned to his lodgings at unseasonable hours; that he had innumerable coats and hats stained with blood. “I have in my possession now a pair of Canadian moccasins stained with blood that the ‘Ripper’ wore while on his murderous expeditions. I notified the Scotland Yard authorities, but at that time they refused to cooperate with me. Subsequently the young man was placed in confinement and removed to a lunatic asylum, where he is today. Since his incarceration there has been no repetition of the horrible murders that he perpetrated. “These facts are all known to the English authorities, and it is conceded that the man now in the asylum is ‘Jack the Ripper.’ It was deemed desirable, however, to hush the matter up. The details were too horrible to be made the subject of a public trial, and there was no doubt of the man's hopeless insanity.” * * * SEEK BURIED TREASURE.

Party Goes to u Lonely Island in the Pacific In Search of Wealth. There is something fascinating about the words "buried treasure,” and the public is always interested in any attempt to recover money or valuables supposed to have been hidden away in old mother earth. Generally the search is a wild goose chase and is time worse thqn wasted, because either the gold and silver or precious stones supposed to be buried have never had any existence in fact, or because the information concerning their exact resting place is so indefinite as to make it the merest chance if it is discovered, and it is more likely to be the former reason that Is responsible for disappointment. A party of six has just sailed from Santa Cruz, Cal., for a lone island in the Pacific ocean about eight hundred miles west of Peru in search of a buried treasure. Their names are T. D. Hughes, R. F. Davis, R. L. Mann nnd Pete Chrismann, of Gonzales, and II. N. Mohr man and P. Jennings, of Gijroy. Forty-three years ago Mr. Jennings was a sailor in the South seas and lie is said to have been one of six who buried on a lonely island in the Pacific three large jars of Spanish doubloons valued at between three hundred thousand and one million dollars. Mr. Jennings is the only man alive who knows the location of the money, as the other five died in his presence on the Peruvian coast. lie has also a chart of the island nnd claims it is volcanic nnd uninhabited. Thre? months will be required to make the trip. MRS. BOOTH’S NEW WOMAN.

She I* the Womanly Woman, Not the "Revolting Creature In Mannlih lire**." Mrs. Ballington Booth conducted the meeting recently at the Salvation Army headquarters in Fourteenth street. New York city, and spoke on the “New Woman.” “My new woman,” said Mrs. Booth, “is the womanly woman. She is not that peculiar, perverted, revolting creature in mannish dress, with coarse manners and sacriligious ideas of the sacred ties of wifehood and motherhood. This creature must be set aside. You must not exhibit her as the new woman. She lacks the sacred, powerful but tender traits of woman. She would imitate man and at the same time trample him under her feet. Men watch her and turn from her with scorn. We women look into htjr face and shun her with shame. She belittles man and tells her so-called weaker sister that she is going forth to emancipate her sex and crush man beneath the wheels of her chariot. We say to her we do not want such emancipation The true new woman should raise herself to the highest level, rise to man’s side, and help him to raise himself to a nobler and truer man."

THE CURFEW LAW.

What It la Designed to Aooompllah—The True Kemody. Ono or two Indiana towns have recently made unsuccessful attempts to introduce what is known as the curfew law. The idea is borrowed from Minnesota, where it has been applied in quite a number of towns with alleged good results. The reason assigned for its enactment in many Minnesota towns is the growing incorrigibility of children and the belief that it is promoted by the habit of “running the streets" at night. There is reason to fear there may be some ground for the main allegation. not only as to the children of Minnesota, but as to those of Indiana as well, but the remedy is not to be found in curfew laws. The true remedy for juvenile incorrigibility is better home training and parental restraint.

Fruit Ahuudant In Virginia. Fruits and vegetables of all kindsarc unusually abuudant in most parts of Virginia this year. Apples have brought only five cents a bushel In market towns, and tomatoes arc so plentiful that often the farmers are unable to sell £hc loads they bring to market, aud have eit her to give them away or throw j them away.

It* Several Horrible Detail* Carefully Analyzed and Explained. In these days of athletes every form of sport seems to develop some variety of disease. Baseball players become afflicted with that mysterious sounding ailment known as “charley horse.” Devotees of tennis acquire "tenuis elbow,” an undesirable species of muscle stiffening. Bowling makes the practicers arm-bound, and even writing, which isn't so much sport as it might be, occasionally is followed by writer's cramp. Of course, the latest mania j must have Its little ill to bear it com- j pany, says the New York Sun, and here it is fully port raved. It is the bicycle face. The bicycle face is the discovery of a doctor who rides the bicycle with his 1 face, as well as his feet. lie discovered i it first on other people, then on him- | self, and finally came to the conclusion j that everybody who goes forth on two . wheels acquires the expression in j which the new term is applied. This expression may be divided into three parts: 1. A wide nnd wildly-expectant ex pression of the eyes. 2. Strained lines about the mouth. 3. A general focusing of all the features toward the center. Scientists took hold of the matter and advanced theories about it. One learned man said that the bicycle face was the result of a constant strain tc ; preserve equilibrium. Up popped an- | other scientist, who stated that the pre- ( serving of equilibrium was purely an , instinct, involving no strain, and that if the first man knew a bicycle from a bucksaw he’d realize it. Thereupon the first scientist said that the second had a bicycle brain, and hundreds took sides in the discussion. A prominent bicycle academy instructor here is positive thnt he lias solved the secret. The three component parts of the expression he ascribes to the following causes: The phenomenon of the wild eyes is acquired while learning the art. It is caused by a painful uncertainty whether to look for the arrival of the floor in front, behind, or one side, and, once fixed upon the countenance, can never be removed. The strained lines about the month are due to anxiety lest the tire should explode. Variations in these lines are traceable to the general use of chewing gum. The general focus of the features is indicative of extreme attention directed to a spot about two yards ahead of the front wheel. This attention arises from a suspicion that there is probably a stone, bit of glass, upturned tack, barrel hoop, or other dangerous article lying In wait there. It is temporarily lost when the obstacle Is struck and the bicyclist’s face makes furrows in the ground, but reappears with increased intensity after every such experience. Tlie l iuIiTtnUi-r Hee. There was serious trouble in a suburban beehive the other day, and in the midst of the excitement several bees dragged out one of their dead nnd left it on the edge of the hive. Many bees came and went, leaving the dead body unnoticed, but after awhile came along the undertaker bee. lie seized the body, flew off with it some yards and dropped it in the grass. The operation was repeated with another dead bee. and, us before, those whose duty lay in other directions left to the undertaker the task of carrying off the body.

TURNING THE TABLES. The rnfortunate Lunyrr and III* Cllant, the Nurse. The extent to which lawyers can exercise their imagination when pleading in behalf of their clients is almost beyond belief; but sometimes the tables are turned in a very unexpected fash-

ion.

On one occasion, says the Florida Times-Union, Mr. Swan was engaged in presenting the case of a woman who petitioned the court to grant her a judicial separation from her husband, a workingman, and urged that as she was in extreme poverty she was entitled to alimony according to her husband's means. With a voice broken in its pathos the lawyer dilated on the imperative necessity of the ease, declaring that his client was utterly destitute, not having a mattress to lie upon, and not possessing the means to purchase a crust of bread. When the evidence had been heard the judge, who well knew the counsel’s unlimited powers of exaggeration, turned to the appellant and addressed to her a few questions. “Have you, then, no occupation?” “Yes, my lord; I am a nurse," was the incautious reply. "And where are you employed?” "I am at Mr. Swan’s,” she unwittingly rejoined, pointing to her counsel. It was-with the greatest difficulty that the judge refrained from joining in the shout of laughter with which this admission was hailed.

FEMININE VANITY.

It Crop* Out Even Among Women liehind the liars. Vanity in a female prisoner would be merely laughable if it were not so sad to behold. It is, however, the one touch of nature which proves the human kinship, and there is perhaps some hope for even these poor, degraded creatures, if they are thus swayed by such harmless emotions. Prison matrons, saj-s the North American Review, would be perpetually busy if they checked every attempt made by their charges to adopt the last fashionable coiffure. “Fringes” are “going out," perhaps, in general society, but they are still amazingly popular in prison. Criminals will trim their hair as it pleases them, and the wisest disciplinarian affects to see nothing of the fringe. In the same way, once, when chignons were in vogue, the female felt happy whose looks escaped the prison scissors and were long enough to fold over u pad of oakum. The ingenuity, again, with which some prisoners will twist and turn their unbecoming uniform into some faint notion of the fashions of the day might have earned these artists good wages in a dressmaker's atelier. I have seen panniers counterfeited and polonaises, skirts draped or tied back, dress improvers manufactured out of whalebones or horse hair; no doubt when the present “bell” skirt is fading out of fashion it will be largely patronized in jail. The craze for personal adornment leads women to skim the grease off their scanty allowance of soup, with which they planter their hair. I once knew an aged prisoner who was caught scraping the dust from the red brick cell wall to serve her as rouge.

Fashion for Farmers. A western fann paper, humorously inclined, gives the following “hints to farmers in regard to their attire:” Don’t wear a kid glove a hen teaching a calf to suck the finger. Don’t wear a silk hat when plowing corn. Don’t wear diamonds while breaking a colt. Don’t wear a starched shirt while mowing away hay. Don’t wear a spring overcoat with diagonal stripes while killing potato bugs. Don't wear a white vest while currying the horses. Don’t wear a tight collar while discussing the currency question. Don’t appear In evening dress when you are called upon to i*eot a note. Don’t wear any clothes on any occasion that you don’t feel that you have honestly earned.

Fragrant Orrl» Root. French women are so passionately fond of the sweet, clean fragrance of orris flint some of the more fastidious among them have a bit of orris root put in the water in which their clothe® are wasned. it is related of one French woman, that upon being reprimanded by her father confessor for her extravngnnen in thi<* • be raid that she was sure that if she went to perdition on its account, Satan would find the smell of orris much pleasanter to his nostrils than sulphur.

In discussing the modern use of armor by officers and men in the foreign “little wars” of to-day, an English accoutrement maker, as reported by London Tid-Bits, says; “I give you my assurance that an immense number of the officers of our army and navy who go on foreign service, especially when one of our ’little wars’ is expected, provide themselves with certain easily recognized protections. “These, mind you, are well-known articles of trade to the service. The commonest and most usual typo of these protections consists of fine but beautifully tempered single chains, inclosed in in soft leather, which run along the shoulders, down the outer side of the arms and over certain parts of the bodThese can either be sewn into a particular t unic or they can be adjusted separately and put on like harness. The most valuable of all chains, in connection with accoutrements, arc those which guard the head, and in cases where the regulation cap or helmet is not sufficiently protected in this way specially made chains are sewn inside the same una covered by the lining." Smoking in Court. Commenting on the fact that not long ago a pastor of a church in the Whitechapel district in London announced from the pulpit that in future his hearers might smoko their pipes during service if they chose, ITudependance Beige says there is nothing so very strange about that. In the Mexican courts of law, it says, the smoking of cigars is sanctioned by hoary custom; there one may often see a prisoner puffing away at the fragrant weed while answering the questions put to him by the judge, and the latter serene13 - adds to the general smoko. Mexican teachers reward their diligent pupils by giving them permission to smoke cigars or cigarettes during school hours, and whenever the worthy pedagogue is in good humor the schoolroom Is thick with smoke. Smoking begets thirst; Hence on the teacher’s desk stands a huge jar filled vvith“pulquc," the national beverage, to refresh the tutor and tutored. American Extravagance. It la no wonder oull foreigners scoff at the whims of rich Americans when one hears of such a piece of extravagance as Ls here related: Lady Beresford, formerly the duchess of Marlborough, who was born here lu the United States and who married n rich New Yorker, who afterward died, has Just returned from a trip with her husband, Lord Beresford. They traveled awav off clone Into Norway, paid four thousand dollars for a ashing slrcatu aud caught two fish. As it is Lady Beresford’s money, flu; devotion must be on her side of the house.

A Wonderful Story of an Old Lady. Sr. Joseph, Mich., May 9,1894. Lyon Medicine Co., Indianapolis, Ind.: I wish to congratulate j’ou in being in possession of such a grand medicine as LYON’S SEVEN WONDERS. I was in very poor health for a long time, could eat no solid food, and scarcely anything else; had no appetite, but a continued distress in my stomach, and was very poor in flesh. Your remedy being recommended by one who had tried fnem, I got a box of same, and can cheerfully and gladly say, after using them, the distress in my stomach entirely ceased, my appetite increased wonderfully, aud 1 gained in flesh very perceptibly. I am a lad}’ seventy-four years of age, and can say that LYON’S SEVEN WONDERS have given me a new lease on life. I feel grateful toward you and your remedy. It does more than you claim for it, and no words of praise can do it justice. Gratefully yours, Mrs. Cynthia Ransom.
