C applied to Act ae Scmat to Bcr II Ba nd's HUIru-Finally Revolted an Tried the TItrtol Core Bow The De Those Thine la Pari. A priest stood at tho door of Ellen Mil ler's cell la a Paris prison the other day talking to her aboat heaven. ou nra warting time, reverend fa ther." she said. "Tell me about lielL" The pond man described to her tho pains and penalt uh which await the unrepentant. Is that all? It is not so bad after all " And she turned back to her loaf of prison bread. Living she bad breathed tho acrid heat of the pit. She can laugh at Lucifer, for she has been tortured by tho worst hus band a woman ever had. Her soul has keen so seared and cauterized by his tor menting that she Is Entirely lacking sensi tiveness. Hero Is her storr: The Millers wore for eigners Poles and Miller was a tailor In Paris. Three children camo to Mrs.-Miller In less than three years, and hor onco pretty face grew worn and pinched. Mil ler was prosperous In a small way, and there was a servant in the little flat. This servant worked all day as servants do in a small household, but her cheeks were red for all that. Her name, was arah Watt- man. hen Miller was In tho ocose stago of unpleasantness, he used to tell Mrs. Mil ler that Sarah s checks looked like rosy apples and her own like little apples that had been dried. At this Mrs. Miller would cry. Before tho fourth child came Miller had licKiin to neglect his business and to ex plain to himself thut ho was an unlucky person, cursed with a family whoso in cm aso Incumbered him, and he resolved to go to London. Ho took his wife with him, and in London a fifth child was born. Now, there t.ro men who like to havo live children, but Miller saw his wifo crow thinner and pnler and hegnn to reason, as he lielieved, njninst fate, saying: My wifo is unhappy. Her appearance Is that of a hag. Her children nnnoy mo. I cannot restore her to youth, childlessness and the pursuit of lmipinoss. liut I can go away, begin a new lifo alone and not think ubout her. She will not liko It, but she is unlmn? as it is. It is better to savo one out of a wrecked crew than that all should sink together." So Miller packed his trunk and took the cheap route, by Dieppe, to Paris. There ho found work and n!so:inih uttman juicn iiUir, ireo in ixinuon to 110 as sue pleased ur.d live as sIio could, presented herself with a sixth child a few weeks aft er her huslinnd's departure. When this last infant was months old, sho discover ed her husband's address in Paris and wrote to him. Millur in the course of two years sent from Paris to Ms wifu in London various postal mow y oitlers, amount iug in all to 40 francs, fur which sho received 81 shil lings and 11 cnco halfpenny In English money. Kilen Millar, discontented, predatory, selllsh with thoniultilaleralselCshnessof a mother, bt.thcrcd her neighbors in London until they subscribed enough money to pay her faru and her children a faro to Purls. And thero she found Miller living with Sarah nattman. He sold to her: I don't want you. When I don't want a woman, I don't want to support her. It Is bad enough to have to pay for what I do want. I don't want your children oithcr. If you can't provi Jo for them, leave thorn on the steps of tho nearest church. You can earn your living if you are not ham pered with theiu. At any rate, don't both er me. 11 you ao. 1 slum go away from here." This left nothing for Ellen Miller to sny. Meantime a landlord crave her on credit an empty room, without a window, in the top story of tho building in which Miller and Snrnh Watt man had their flat. Per haps lie did it for tho joke of the situation. If you havo no money in Paris, It is not vasy to get anything to eat. Tho scaven gers are well organized and luavo very little lying about for homeless dogs and disused wives, and after a day or two Ellon and her children became dissatisfied and went to Miller's door again. Then Sarah Wuttmau spoke up. Said she: "Mrs. Miller, your husband is tired of yoa, and I suppose I may sr.y that I have In a measure taken the place in his regard which you formerly occupied. We are not very well off, and I am trying to save little money. To depend upon a man is to live in an uncertain climate, and I am preparing for a rainy day. However, I rati afford to havo a woman in by tho day and do the housework. If you will take a little less than the current rate of wuges, I will give you tho work. Mrs. Miller acquiesced. It was thought by many people that she showed a want of good taste in doing so, but sho did it, and then Miller began to show bis sense of humor again. Ho and Sarah used to ring for breakfast In the morning, and Ellen used to serve it on a tray. This was very comfortable, and there was certainly something very droll about it Look at it any way you will. the situation was a quaint one. Miller aud Sarah made Ellon Miller look at it in all sorts of ways. They twisted and turned their little joke in every conceivable form They lay awake, thinking up funny things to sny to tllen. Ellen herself was not a facetious per son. Sho had never made a joke in her life. To bring superfluous children into cold shouldered world, to rook ignorantly Inferior comestibles, to weep, snuffing the while these were her little accomplish meuts. And now she developed a .morbid feeling. Iustead of writing verse she dls played her egomania by an act of violence. Sarah seut her out one morning to buy rents' worth of milk. She embezzled tha money and bonuht 4 cents' worth of vit rinl. And this, as Sarah rose from ber piilows to look for the breakfast tray, aha threw Id Sarah' lace. Miller was spat tered. The criminal court of Paris has sen tenced Ellen Miller to SO days' imprison au nt, but applies the Berengerlaw, which provides for the pardoning of a nrst ol fento So Ellen is free, except, of course. that she Is a married woman and is there fore obliged to love and honor her hue- band lioeashodo so? CertalUy. She has just given evidence of jealousy. LrBchlac ta Bi In tbe government of Saratov; In Rus sia, horse thieves and cattle raidera are lynched when caught.

Their letteate Selatieai Was Earl Keo- faizra kjmn Haras's BeUetV The intimate relation between fire and air was early recognized, seeing that experience soon taught that air was necessary for fire. The experiment of burning a candle in a closed vessel, now so familiar to every schoolboy, is a very old one, and tne inncence of a blast of air on a furnace bad been probably no ticed from very remote period. Br some it was affirmed to be the food of fire, while by others the same belief was embodied in the phrase, "Air nourishes fire. Again, it was long ago observed that niter, a substance well known to the chemical philosophers of the past, could produce intense ignition. It was hence inferred that, since niter possessed this property, it necessarily followed that the two substances resembled each other in composition. According to Robert Boyle, the air contained "volatile ni ter," while Lord .Bacon held that air contained a "volatile, crude and windy spirit," and thunder and lightning were supposed to be due to the presence of minute particles 01 this niter diffused throngh air. The important bearing of such obser vations is due to tne xact that oxygen gas, which is one 01 the chief constitu ents of air and the one to which it owes its power of supporting combustion, also forms the largest elementary con stitnent of niter and is likewise tne source of the power possessed by that body 01 supporting combustion. The action of heat on metals in caus ing them to lose their metallic lnster bad also not escaped notice, and Cardan, a philosopher who lived during the six teenth century, in noticing the increase in weight that lead undergoes when heated in air, attributed it to the gas in the air, which foeds flame and which rekindles a body presenting an ignited point.

Smith of East One Hundred and Twenty-fourth street, who is somewhat of a philologist, had an amusing experience in trying to analyze certain Chinese characters. It appears that when Chang Lee located his laun dry in Harlem, the captain was his first customer. As the acquaintance crew Chang Lee strained the red tape laun dry laws and did not issue the usual ticket to the captain, but called at his apartment every Monday for his laun dry and retnrned it on Thursday in i package marked with hieroglyphics. "is mat my name:" asKed the cap tain of Chang as he pointed at the Chi nese characters shortly after the laundry delivery plan was inaugurated. "ies. He jon name. See?" The captain didu t see, but set at work to do so, and for several weeks studied the writing that Chain? Lee brought to him on each returning Thurs day, lie searched the libraries for such Chinese literature and lexicons ss they held, examined laundry tickets and read the signs m Mott street in the hope of being able to leurn how Chang Leo's characters conveyed the idea of the name of Smith, but he made an ntter failure. Finally he decided to appeal to Chang Lee. Is that my name?" he asked the laundrymau on the occasion of his next visit Yes." Can you tell me how yon get Smith ont of such a looking 6crawl?" Io, not Smith. He say 'Captain. ui" you captain. That vour name. see? answered the Chinaman as he pointed at the characters, with an ex pression that showed surprise at the cap tain s ignorance. New lork Herald. Her Proof; The late Dr. Thomson, archbishop of lork, when he was bishop of Glouces ter, suffered from toothache, and by medical advice resorted to narcotics to relieve the pain. One morning, after a night of great suffering, as be left the honse to consult the doctor, Mrs. Thorn' son begged him not to allow the phy sician to prescribe a naroctic, as it affected his brain for several hours after taking it On his way the bishon met the postman, who handed him a large official envelope. He opened it in the street and read his appoiutment to the see or York. Instead of visiting the doo tor ne hastened back to communicate the surprising news to his wife. "Zoel Zoe!"he exclaimed. "What do you think has happened? I am arch bishop of York." There, there!" reioined the wife. 'What did I tell you? You've been tak ing mat noma narcotio again and are quite out of your head. " Here's Economy. There is a man living near Maben, Miss., who prides himself on his econo my, and the other day, when discussing his favorite topic, he remarked that he had saved, several dollars in matches. by, he said, "when I came to Mis sissippi nearly 40 years ago I brought my fire with me. and I have kept the same fire ever since, never allowing to die ont, and dnring all this time have never spent a cent for matches.' The SeUbh Bishop. A story used to be told that Bishop Wilberforce alwavs crowded the seats of his first class carriage with his papers to gain himself a separate carriage, and when asked if these seats were occupied would reply, "Yea occupied, " adding in a low voice as the applicant went away, "but not engaged."

Philadelphia Press. Wedding Effect. A recent bride wore at the altar, with her rich ivory satin gown, a broad belt of white silk webbing thickly sowed with pearl sequins and pearls. The clasp was of pearl and diamonds. At another wedding the bridesmaids car ried white , sticks, to which were at tached bunches of pink roses. At a third wedding of the mouth, this one in Lon don, the corselet bodice figured ratbor unbecomingly, according to the report of a guest Tho eight bridosmuids wore high satin waistbands of cerise satin over frocks of cream faille, fichus of the same shade of eliiffoii being also a part of the trimming. The effect was not pretty, reproduced so many times, and save for tbe grace of the large white picture hats, with nodding plumes, would have- made very stiff looking toilets. New York Letter. For tho Complexion. A young lady of Chicago, while so journing in Egypt last winter, secured some of the famons philter used by the ladies of the khedive a harem for the complexion, and said to be the most wonderful cosmetic of the world. In stead of nsing it herself she gave it to a friend who was a chemist and had it analyzed. ' It turned ont to be nothing more or less than a tincture of benzoin, a little castor oil and a few drops of attar of rose. While it is not a cure all for facial disfigurements the chemist says it is about the most sensible prep aration for the skin he has ever encoun tered. what a person praises is perhaps a snrer standard even than what he con demns of his character, information and abilities. No wonder, then, that most people are so shy of praising anything. a are. TGUDS immm Saves many a dollar.
