The wind at Omaha recently performed a curious freak. Florence and Willow lakes, north of the city, were blown nearly' dry, and the ground in the vicinity was covered with dead fish blown out of the water.

carried her to Police Headquarters, and she was tenderly cared for by Matron Webb. Early yesterday morning, as is customary, a girl carried her to thc office of the Commissioners of Charities and Correction, ami a nurse was engaged to take her to the Nursery, on Randall’s Island. The nurse carried the baby to a wagon of tho tlepartment, and on the way to the pier, at tho foot of East Twenty-sixth street, tho infant gasped, had a convulsion and appeared to die. The wagon stopped at the Morgue, the hell was rung and an attendant who answered the summons, was handed the child, with the information, ‘‘a baby that (died on its way to the island.” DeputyCoroner Waterman was in the discctingroom with Dr. Finlayson, of Indiana, and Dr. Nolan, of Georgia. He was cleaning his instruments, having just completed a couple of post-mortem examinations. The attendant laid the child on a slab beside a dead body. Dr. Waterman saw the baby, and asked Dr. Finlayson and Nolan if they could determine tho age of a haby by examining the umbilical cord. They said that their experience was limited in this respect, and Dr. Waterman, scalpel in hand, walked up to tho slab, and, with professional roughness, pushed away the limbs of tho baby from its t little night-dress to show abdomen. A faint gasp came from tho lips, and Dr. Waterman’s manner changed. ‘‘Why, there’s life here,” he almost shouted, as ho undid
The fashionable women of New York are represented by a correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer as a puzzling over the (juestion how to look presentable, if not bewitching, in wet bathing garments. "A good proportion of them,” the writer says, "will give up the problem and appear, when the time comes, in the ordinary loose blouse and trousers, in which no mortal woman can look otherwise than decidedly unenchanting.” But there are some who will not give it)

On returning homo from a shopping tour a Providence, It. I., woman missed a valuable ring which she was certain she wore when trying on several pairs of gloves. That was about a year ago. Recently she went to purchase another pair of gloves at the same store as before and tried on several pairs. In the last pair she found her ring, where she had left it in drawing oil the ^glove a year

up so, and a costume designed for their ’
benefit is thus described: ‘‘The body garment was ostensibly a single blouse of pinkish gray ilannel, bnt it was really a most artful contrivance. Instead of being straight and $hirt-like, it was cut to fit the waist almost tight, so that when wot it would only have fullness enough to wrinkle a little, while really following every curve of her figure. A belt encircled her waist. The skirt was very short
A young woman at Alden, Iowa, said she “wished to heaven that she might die that day.” A terrific storm arose immediately, with thunder and lightning. She imagined’that it bore some relation to bercase. Hastening to a church, she knelt and prayed: “Oh Lord, I didn’t mean it when I said I wrfhted to die. Please don’t let the lightning strike me.” Owen Buck of Oceanica, Md., had a

An eccentric rich man lives at Elton, Tenn. He imagined the whole country desired him to bo President. Taking advantage of this hallucination, some jokers had a bogus telegram delivered to him announcing his nomination at Chicago, and subsequently a sim^ar one purporting to come from Cincinnati. He gave a great dinner to the young men of the town, and made a glowing speech
of acceptance.
Bissot, the animal trainer of Perth, taught an ourung to wait on the table and perform other household duties belonging to servants. A chimpanzee has been trained to feed and attend a baker’s oven fire on board a ship. A female chimpanzeo in tho London Zoological Gardens, could lock or unlock a doorj or diawer, and thread any needle. In taking her meals she used knife, fork, spoon, and drinking cup with the same case as a human being. Tho chacma habboon has been taught to blow bellows and to drive
teams of wagon horses.

have it known i j n tffij |jfe of Paul Kimbel, who died at Well, to pro- York, Pa., tho other day, at the age of
seventy-nine. Thirty-one years ago he narrowly escaped tho gallows as a victim of circumstantial evidence. Ho was on his return from Baltimore in a wagon, when he took in a man who was sitting by the roadside. This man, whose name was Winter, had a bundle, a new umbrella, and a pair of woman's shoes. He exchanged his umbrella for an older one which KimbelYad, and on reaching Chauibersburg, visited his new acquaintance, and left many little presents from his bundle. A few days after his departure Kiuibcl was arrested, and the articles left by the stranger identified as those of a woman who had been murdered near the place where the passenger was picked up. Kimbel was tried and convicted. He was so dazed that he could no more than protest his innocence. It was not until about eight days before the time appointed for his execution that ho regained enough presence of mind to tell the story of Winter’s- visit. It was fortunately believed by influential friends and Winter was hunted up. His guilt became apparent, and he finally confessed it on the scaflold. Curiously enough, he had intended to murder another woman with whom he had become angry. His actual victim was mistaken for her.
