CARRIED OFF BY A WOLF.

Baby Resetted After It Had Been Carried Two Miles by Its Captor. sv Last Saturday a big wolf which has terrorized the people of theBnmpas cave region, in North Carolina, for the last two or three years entered the cabin of a mountaineer named Brown during the momentary absence of the housewife, and, seizing the only occnpant, an infant

6 months old, by the clothing in the region of the chest, lifted it from the rude cradle and bore it away into the mountains. When the mother returned to the house and missed the baby, she rushed to the door just in time to see the wolf and its precious burden disappear into the neighboring woods.

The distracted woman began to scream. This brought thehusband, who was chopping wood not far away, to the scene in a high state of excitement. The story from the lips of the hysterical mother almost drove the brave fellow daft, but he seized his ax, called his dog and started in hot pursuit. There were about two inchesfbf snow on the ground, and it providentially enabled the desperate father of the kidnaped infant to strike the trail of the wolf immediately after leaving his dooryard. Once upon the track of the beast, be rushed through the mountains with a speed born of distraction, expecting every moment to come upon the old assassin licking his chops red with the warm blood of his victim.

About two miles from his cabin the tracks of the wolf led the pursuer under a long shelf of rock protruding from the side of a mountain. There was no snow here, and the father lost the trail, but ho now urged his dog, which up to this time he had compelled to remaia-jwith him. The dog took the lead, and the inan followed, fully expecting to find the entrance to the wolf's den, from which he could hardly hope to get the baby alive. But his fears were groundless. He soon cameupon his faithful dog wagging his tail and looking down at a little white bundle at his feet. It was the baby, sound asleep and most frozen, apparently unhurt otherwise.

Brown took off his coat, and wrapping the infant snugly in it started hastily for home. He soon met his wife and two or three of the neighbors to whom she had given the alarm. It was a most remarkable rescue. The mountaineers say thai it was only a l'reak of the "mad" wolf, but the little one no doubt owes its life to a drenching of petroleum given it for some cutaneous affection by its mother just before it was carried away. The odor of the oil was too much for his wolfship. He probably* sniffed about the child after laying it down under the rocks and preparing to make a delicious meal, then left in disgust.—St. Lotus Globe-Democrat Special.

JAPANESE SUPERSTITION.

Saving llio I»rojH of Water That Washed the PrloHl. Who Ilcd Recently. The latest event in tho religious world is the death, funeral and cremation of tho chiefest priest of the largest and most powerful Buddhist sect in Japau. The funeral was attended by many tens of thousands of people from all over Japan. Tho person of thisjui&st is 80 very sacred, and anything thatiias come in contact with it so very precious in its merit and powerful in itsoffictcy to save, that every drop of the water that was used in washing tho body after death was eagerly sought for and gratefully received by tluyn-iests and laymen alike.

Little bamboo joints were used as vials in which to receive and carry away the precious fluid. This water will be used as drops of saving elixir when the body of some believer is washed for its burial—as a few drops of tho attar of roses might be used in a bath—and the one receiving this washing will be insured a safe and happy entrance into the Buddhist paradise.

Sail, sad, unspeakably sad, and yet millions of these people believe this to bo true.—Correspondence Independent.

Iliml I.hie* for the IMnrquls.

That interesting nu-inber of tho British aristocracy, the Marquis of Ailesburv. will be adjudged a bankrupt if within a month he does not pay $1 000 due to creditors above certain doubtful assets. The marquis has been gallantly endeavoring to prevent this consummation since I8S0, when bankruptcy proceedings were first commenced against him, and the delay secured is a rare tribute to his cunning or that of hi lawyers. His lordship's chief lament that he is married, and therefore unable to wed an heiress. lie has no doubt oi his personal attractions or of the conv mercial value of his title. Yet these splendid assets are unrealisable because, years ago, when he was young and had plenty of money, he married Dolly Tester out of a music hall at Brighton.— London Cor. New York Sun.

the Brooklyn Police Take Steps to Have Bcrtlra May Cared For. A policeman on duty in Lafayette avenue, near Franklin avenue, in Brooklyn, early on Friday morning met an old woman apparently in pitiable destitution. Her feet were bare, she had no covering on her head, and the single skirt she wore was fastened to her waist with a coarse piece of rope. She was trembling with cold, was emaciated and was altogether the most deplorable looking human object the policeman had ever encountered.

He was about to take her to the police station to give her shelter when she told him that she was looking for a Mrs. Townsend, who lived in the neighborhood. The policeman found Mrs. Townsend, and the latter said she would take care of the woman, with whom she was well acquainted.

It turned out that the woman was the owner of a fine four story brick house at 834 Bedford avenue, had a bank account of $15,000 and possessed other property, and that her entire wealth was estimated at between $50,000 and $60,000. Her name is Bertha May, and she has long been the solitary occupant of the big Bedford avenue hous". Not even a dog, cat or bird has shared her seclusion* She is 74 years old and lias been a widow for nearly 30 j'ears. Her husband, Edward May, had a wig store in this city when she married him, and she has carefully watched over the fortune he left her.

Mr. Townsend escorted the aged recflise to her home yesterday morning and then went around to the Clermont Avenue police station and called the attention of Captain Hardy to the wretched condition of the woman and the necessity of providing for her. Captain Hardy sent Detective Sergeant Fitzpatrick to tho house to make an investigation. Fitzpatrick secured an entrance by representing himself as a building inspector and made a tour of the premises. He reported to Captain Hardy that from cellar to roof the house was in an intolerably filthy-condition, and that there were several years' accumulation of dust on the old fashioned furniture.

So ipiserly .is the old woiiian that she will not even buy the food she needs and would starve to death did not a benevolent family in the neighborhood supply her daily with bread and coffee.—New York Sun.

A ROMANCE ON* WHEELS.

Two Young People Make Love on Bicycles and Are Married In Road CoHtumes. It 1s not often that a bride and bridegroom appear at the altar rail clad in bicycle costumes to be united for li.iV\ That was the case on Tuesday night in Newark, however, when Charles Bader, a well known bicycle rider of t^iat city, and Miss Violet Hervey of Ringoes were married. ..

Mr. Bader last summer spent most of his idle hours on his wheel, and when he had the time took long jaunts throtigh the country. One of his tripS led him to Ringoes, a little village back in the coun

While in the village he staid at the farm, of Mr. Hervey. During his visit he became acquainted with the farmer's daughter, Miss Violet, and fell in love with her. Needless to say, it was not long before his wheel bore him toward Ringoos again. From that time until the snow fell Mr. Bader no longer wandered aimlessly about the country, b^t instead his wheel, was always pointed either toward Ringoes or from it. Miss Violet learned to ride and became.as fond .of riding as was Mr. Bader. Before long 'he gave her a wheel, and from that time they.were often on the road. Mr. Hervey liked the young wheelman, and when he was asked for his daughter's hand .ho consented.

Tuesday uight-the young couple wheeled to Newark. The Rev. Mr. Hapwood, the pastor of Calvary church, had been engaged to perform the ceremony and was waiting when the couple dismount ed in front of the church door. Miss Hervey waited while Mr. Bader'chained the wheels. Then they entered tht church and walked to the pulpit rail, There the ceremony was performed, and they walked out, remounted and rode away on their wedding trip. When they return, they will live in Newark.— New York Tribune.

Tolstoi ami (he Americans.

Count Tolstoi is lamenting the growth of vicious tendencies in society and inbred sin in nil countries. He was asked by an interviewer the other day what people become the most abnormal in this respect. He replied: "At any rate, not the Americans. To their credit must be put the immense national self love, which cauuot exist in an abnormal jieople. I one day wrote an article on America and the Americans, in which I did not particularly overload the latter with flattery. Nevertheless I sent, the manuscript over the ocean, thinking it would be accepted by any paper as eagerly as my other productions. Not a bit of it. The translator took it to 14 editors without getting it accepted, and finally it had to be sent to England."

Wearing of the Green.

A man wearing a $1 greenback note in place of a shamrock pinned on the lapel of his coat paraded North Broad street on St. Patrick's day and attracted considerable attention. At Filbert street he encountered some acquaintances, whom he asked into a nearby saloon, and tabing the note from his breast they all drank to the memory of St. Patrick. Pinning another greenback of the same denomination to the spot from which hp had taken the first, he started out. snmably to meet more friends.-—Phila-delphia Record.

THE CHAIR TELEPHONE.

A New Invention Which Slight Be Used to Advantage In Barber Shops. An Ohio inventor has just patented an effective a txiliary telephone, which is designed to be used in connection with substations. The auxiliary consists of a specially constructed chair. The back of the chair is so made that it will act as

a transmitter, so that a

con^fgrsation

may be carried on with perfect ease while the operator is seated in -the chair. The principle on which this patent operates is the vibrations produced in the body of the speaker, which are transmitted to the chair back and thence over the line in the usual manner.

This chair telephone is so designed that the chair will answer the purpose of an ordinary office chair. Mr. McKelvey, the inventor, is now making experiments with a view of putting this attachment to any ordinary chair now. in use. In devising this telephone Mr. McKelvey. has.departed from the usual paths followed by inventors and has proceeded along new lines, employing a bipole nonmetallic diaphragm in the receiver, a compound induction coil, the tertiary coil of which is connected in series, and an amplifying magnet located immediately behind the diaphragm in the transmitter. This telephone has been successfully worked over 115 miles of telegraph wire with earth return, and it is believed that when further experiments are made a distance much greater than this can be successfully worked.— Electrical World.

original model over this were appliqued stars of dull blue silk, and all the seams were couched with Japanese gold thread. The cushion was edged with a ruffle of the old blue silk, the best part of an old dress flounce.

The Old and the New.

Changes take place in the medical pro fesaion as in all branches of science. We believe the greatest good will follow tha generous offer made by Dr Greene, of 3." West 14th street, New Yrk, who invites all persons, far and near, suffering from any form of disease, to write him a description of their complaints, and lie will send them, free of charge, a com plete explanation of their diseases, with advice how to be cured He giveg most careful and explicit attention to all let ters and explains each symptom so care fully that yu caonot fail to understand exactly what ails you.

Dr. Greene is our most snc.essfnl specialist in nuring nervous and cbronle disease^. He is the discoverer of th famous medicine, Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, which is.doinjr such a vast amount of good all over the world. He uses nothing in his practice but harmless vegetable remedies, which can in no manner injure you. This great system of giving consultation and advice through letter correspondence, free of charge, is especially Important to the poor and tbose living at a distance from large cities, as such consultation and ad vice were formerly attended by great expense. The doctor is having wonder fill success in treating the sick through letter correspondence, and if you will write him about your disease it will un d'Hibtedly lend tn your cure.

Vaccinated Sure Cnough.

A lad of this town is now sufferirig from being vaccinated 47 times, and hi case is regarded as about as serious as smallpox would be. His name is Werts, and his home is on Mulberry street. Recently the school board ordered all the school children vaccinated, and Werts' little sister was one of the victims. The virus in her arm caused an itching sensation, and on the sly she used her hairbrush to alleviate it. At the same time she accommodated her brother, loaning him her brush, which he used in lieu of a regular flesh brush to rub his back. The virus on the brush was effectually introduced in the lad's system, and his parents becoming frightened sent for a doctor. He came, shook his head doubtfully and sent for Health Officer Richter and two other physicians. It looked liie smallpox, but the little sister divulged her secret, and the whole matter was explained. There are on young Werts* back 4? separate places where the vaccination is getting in its work.—Williamsport (Pa.) Letter.

Rmther Awkward.

The readiness-with which French juries acquit husbands who take the lives of their wives' lovers leads sometimes to awkward mistakes by too hasty spouses. An nnlucky glazier was repairing* the window of the boudoir of a lady whom her husband suspected. The master of the house entered and caught sight of the man behind a curtain. He pulled a volver without a word and fired at the glazier. wh»3 is now in the hospital badly wounded. The Jhusband feels very foolish, but is willing to pay a big bill of damages.—Paris Letter.

Spurgeon, Jr, Succeeds Spnrgeon, Sr. The election cf Thomas Spurgeon by a triumphant majority to the pastorate of the famous Metropolitan tabernacle in succession to his father was due to careful organization and persistent canvassing. It was feared that the partisans of Dr. Pierson would endeavor to prevent a decisive vote being taken, but at the last moment they wisely yielded to the inevitable, and the election was carried out with befitting decorum. The widow of the late pastor, assisted by the Rev. J. Herrold, her private secretary, and who acted in the same capacity for her husband, directed the campaign in behalf of Thomas Spurgeon, who, by the way, was from the first the favorite of the lady members of the congregation.London Letter.'

Cleanliness Against Boston Rules. At the last meeting of the school committee it was solemnly voted' "that permission be given to Mrs. Annie Fields to employ women to wash the floors of the Bowdoin schoolhouse and the window of the Chardon Court sclioolhod^e."

This vote was necessary, because it is contrary to the school committee's rules to wash the floors and windows of a Boston schoolroom oftener than once a year. This sounds strange, but it is true.—Bos ton Herald."
