In the famous galleries of Europe, in

Bople of aljl .ages and conditions linger
fore, the, continually recurring pictures
of the Madonna with the Holy Child pil
lowed upon her bosom, her pure eyes ovcr
bfOpding U with unspeakable love, Or up;
lirted1 to heaven in a passion of adoration
and prayer. :
The sentiment' In the homely familiar
scene depicted by the pencil of genius on
the canvas s riot one of reverence only.
In the' appeal it - makes to the common
feeling, of; love for childhood it touches
every rank 'and Ignores every difference of
training.; Mother and babe, in the Rings
palace and, the peasant s hot, are the cen
tres of interest in Iheit immediate worlds,
atd the Infant 'whether born with the
golden or the leaden spoon, is for the first
few months of bis life an absolute sover
eign ruling by the divine right of help
lessne8s.' '
All poetry aside, however, the pretty,
cooing, dimpling darling in the crib makes
large demands on the person wno is nis
nearest attendant and most devoted slave,
his mother. " That she ought not to be his
stave far from it; rather his intelligent
supervisor, with an eye to the future even
during the first months of his existence
in many cases never occurs to her at aiL
She patiently walks the floo with him for
hours by night and by day ; she trots him
till her knees ache and her brain whirls ;
she feeds him when he is not hungry, and
doses him when he is riot ill; and she too
often emerges from the desperate struggle
of getting him through his first year of
life so old, so faded, so wan, so washed
out and . worn, that 'her unmarried girl
friends regard her with wondering com
passion. 4 'Did I ever dream that the care of a
baby could be so exhausting?" said a
mother who, after hours of nursing, sing
ing, talking, tramping, and rocking, had
at last laid her infant down only to have
it awaken in ten minutes with the same j
querulous cry and the same apparent de- j
termination to be held' and carried at any j
cost. ' Poor baby, the victim of a.mista- j
ken system and an unwise fondness! '
Another mother, now middle-aged, witn
grown children about her, has a recollec
tion of her tugs and wrestles with her first
born, mernory vividly treasuring one dread
ful Saturday when she made and baked
the Sunday pumpkin "pies, between 9 p.
m.' and midnight, having vainly attempt
ed to achieve them a dozen times earlier in
the" day,, with baby's protest effectually
preventing her success.
I intend my daughter to be a self-reliant
womatt," said a certain wise little
mother, as she established' her tiny girl
among the pillows and left her, wide
atrakei to go to sleep by herself, grand
mother and nurse both vehemently oppos
ing her proceeding. The mother had her
way, and the years have justified her, for
the young lady has arrived at maturity,
sweet,' capable, and self-helpful,- having
bad a good start at the beginning of the
race.
A great deal depends upon judicious
management in the first month of a baby's
life. We would especially advise the
mother who can do so to obtain for her
own and her baby's care and comfort dur
ing: this period a trained nurse with , the
diploma and recommendation of one of j
the excellent training schools which are
now found in connection with several of
the principal hospitals in our large cities.
The horrors of Betsey Prig and Sairey
Gamp need no longer be dreaded, when,
instead of one of these wretched harridans,
there enters the household a lady, light of
fqot quiet of manner, sweet and gentle of
accent, sure of herself, obedient to tbe
physician, tbe product of discipline as re
ally as a soldier of the regular army is tbe
fruit of a thoughtf nl and imperative sys
tem. She will manage the babe according
to the dicta of the most advanced medical
science, and he will thrive and be happy
under her rule.
It is of the utmost importance that the
little one form no bad -habits during
the first few weeks, while 'naturally the
nurse, rather than the mother, has the re
sponsibility of his management. A babe
should, from the very first, be accustomed
to go to aleep without rocking. Gently
lay the little one' in the crib, and do not
hush and hold and soothe it. It doe not
want to be a tyrant, though it often de
which is small, dainty, and fragile as a bit
of porcelftin .-!. t, -t t at' .
It w a fortunate thing for the babe when
but mother can nurse him herself at her
breast, and a thrice fortunate-thing for the
mother, since bottle-fed babies are always
harder to care for, and the question of
their health, growth, and life is more or
less a perplexing problem. ; np, poor let
low, was brought up by hand, none too
tenderly, and all little folk thus " raised "
arc to be commiserated. .
The nursing mother must be careful of
her diet, not indulging in doubtful delica
cies, or eating dainties which may impair
her digestion. B 8hc is the warden of an
other life, and any indiscretions of hers
will act unfavorably upon her charge.
Nor must she? yield to irritability or
gi ve way to temper; for her sin la this regard
will at once return upon ber head in the
suffering of the innocent little one.
If the. babe must be fed on the bottle, let
the attending physician decide of , what
the food shall be made. - Preparations of
barley, oatmeal, wheat, and other cereals
are considered by many doctors better sub
stitutes for breast-milk than the milk of a
cow." Above all, see that the bottles used
are kept scrupulously; clean. Very few
servants can; be .trusted to attend to this.
The mother should personally see that the
bottles, of which there should be several,
are always thoroughly cleansed every time
they. are used. ' i i:
Sleep is an important factor in the baby's
Well-being. The little human animal re-
quires' a great deal of sleep. In fact, to
sleep is its main business in the beginning
of its days, and a healthy child, for the
first month, should, and often does, spend
twenty hours out of tbe twenty-four in
this occupation.
it is not welt to carry the little one
about the house, or to admit into his sov
ereign presence too many admiring friends.
The baby's world should be a hushed
and quiet world. The nest, with the pro
tecting love that hallows the little inclos
ure, is the best and most fitting type of
baby's nursery. Doors should not be
slammed, loud talking should be forbid
den, and all sudden violent noises should
be excluded from the sacred precincts.
Still, be not too quiet. Baby may easily
be accustomed to, the ordinary sounds of a
household, to low-toned conversation, to
the movement of the people -to and fro.
You need not slip about like a ghost nor
steal around like a burglar in order to his
majesty's repose. Commotion, disturb
ance, uproar, such as should never be per
mitted in a well-regulated family, may an
noy the infant sleeper, and frighten him
into wakefulness; but the usual flow of
family life will only be an accompaniment
to his dreams.

A FEARFUL TBAVKDY,
A Mnmple of Nortber "Plantation
Manners."
Barclay Johnson, Valedictorian of the
Yale Class of 1883. shot himself, his sis
ter, and his mother, at Greenwich, Conn.,
last week. All three are dead. The three
went out for a walk over the country
roads one afternoon and had wandered
to the water's edge to enjoy tbe sea air.
Mrs. Johnson and her two children were
seated on' a rock viewing the sea, when
the young man suddenly drew a revolver
and committed his triple crime. They had
been in affectionate conversation, And per
sons in the vicinity who had met them on
their rambles were attracted by the lively
spirits which all the members of the fam
ily party were displaying.
There were eyewitnesses to the dreadful
crime, and the story they tell is to this ef
fect: Johnson sat upon the rock at the
edge of the sea, just behind his mother
and sister. The ladies were waving their
handkerchiefs seaward, and it seemed that
he joined m their signaling. Suddenly
he rose to his feet, produced his pistol,
took deliberate aim, and fired at his mother.
The shot did not take effect and he im
mediately fired again, this time hitting her
in the head. His sister shrieked and then
Johnson coolly pointed the weapon at her
and fired once more. She fell dead, tbe
ball having gone through her brain. The
young man looked about him as if in a
quandary what to do, but in less than half
a minute he had agaia raised his pistol,
with the muzzle against his own forehead.
The trigger fell, and his body lay on the
ground lifeless. He had killed himself

to-day's article on ''The Dress Suit" yon
say: "'Nine tailors make a man' is a say
ing which has come down to us from very
early days, and still the Schneider, or tai
lor, is the butt in many a German comedy.4
I think you are a little astray. The word
is " toilers," and its use in the sentence you
quote arose from this custom in days gone
by : When a person died the church bell
tolled once for every year the deceased one
had lived. Bnt nobody could tell by this
the sex of the dear departed, so the sex
ton, to help public curiosity, after ringing
in the usual way the number of years,
came to give eight quick strokes if the
deceased was a woman and nine if it was
a man. ' These strokes, being rung at the
end of the strokes for the years, were
called "tftilers," and the saying "Nine
tailers make a man " came into use.

New York 8un.J
The report of the Superintendent of
Public Schools in Boston discusses the ex
periment of manual training for -boys.
Two hundred boys, from ten different
grammar schools, have been under instruc
tion in carpentry two hours a week since
September. They were selected by the
masters from among those fourteen years
of age or older who had the permission of
their parents to take the instruction.
' The experiment has already gone far
enough to prove that work of this kind
can beu joined to the ordinary grammar
school work with jrood effect," says the
Superintendent. . and he advocates the
making of provisions for industrial train
ing for girls as well aa for boys. -
Charleston News and Courier. J
The unsolved enigma of this decade haa
been the motive of inducing the demand
in England for certain Confederate bonds.
Corijectnre8 have been numerous, but none
pointed to a logical reason for the fact
that worthless Confederate obligations,
which had for fifteen years filled dusty
chests and trunks in Europe and in the
South, : suddenly commanded from close
mouthed speculators a price equalling sev
eral per centum of their par value.
Judah P. Benjamin, Secretary of State of
tbe Confederacy from 1862 until its col
lapse, was the originator of the plan by
which a demand was created for the bonds,
and to his shrewdness is attributable, the
complete success of the project.
To begin at the beginning : Several de
partments of the Confederate Government
such as the ordnance, quartermaster's
and medical purveyor's had special funds
deposited with European bankers for the
purchase of supplies, which could only be
.obtained in Europe. This was well known,
and tbe members of these departments and
their agents were also known, so that when
the United States Government succeeded
to the assets of the Confederacy the rem
nants of these funds- were surrendered to
it by those who held them. There was one
fund, however, which escaped surrender
because of tbe mystery enveloping it, and
this was the secret service fund of the Con
federate department of State. The mem
bers of the secret service were not known
to the public. I have been shown a list
of the principal ones, but am not permit
ted to print it. Several were very promi
nent men laentined with Confederate dip
lomacy, and bore high characters. Others
1 baa never heard of before. London and
Paris were the chief points of secret ser
vice activity. There was an agent at
Brownsville, Texas, on the Mexican bor
der. The principal deposits of secret ser
vice money were in London and Paris
banks. The funds were placed to the
credit of citizens of Great Britain and
France, who were friendly to the South.
The understanding with them was that
they would assume no responsibility, but
would honoi drafts to the extent of the
money in bank. At the close of the war
there were large unexpended balances of
secret service money to the credit of these
parties. There was one account of nine
hundred thousand dollars, which seems to
have been overdrawn, as against it was
charged two hundred and forty-two thou-'
sand pounds sterling. The balances of
different deposits at the the close of the
war were as follows: One of less than
three hundred 'pounds, one of three hun
dred and nine thousand pounds, one of
fifty thousand pounds, and one of five
hundred pounds.- Then there was one of
two thousand dollars, one of a hundred
thousand dollars, one of four hundred and
fifty-eight thousand dollars, and a huge
one of three million, seven hundred and
nineteen thousand dollars. The total bal
ance due the Confederate Government at
the time of its fall was about five million
and eighty thousand dollars.
The men who had this money deposited
in their name were honest. They did not
make way with the assets of the dead Con
federacy, but they were puzzled to know
what to do with them. Mr. Benjamin, as
Secretary of State of the Confederacy,
knew these agents, and during his resi
dence in England consulted with them as
to the disposition of the money. It was
agreed that it should not bo surrendered
to the United States. The question was,
then, how to disburse tbe money so as
best to benefit those entitled to it. It was
concluded that the people who had given
their means to the Confederacy for its
bonds were entitled to these (the Confede
racy's) assets.
The aggregate of the funds was ascer
tained, and a calculation was made as to
how far it would go in paying the inter
est on the bonds, because, of course, it
was impracticable to declare a dividend
on tbe principal. Publicity was to be
avoided. Secrecy was indispensable. It
was decided to pay off the unhonored
coupons, beginning with those last due
by the Confederacy during its existence.
These were the coupons falling due Janu
ary 1st, 1865. Then the balance was to
be applied to the payment of the next
coupons falling due. The bonds were ad
vertised for. To cover tbe real object of
tbe movement it was hinted that the bonds
were to be held by speculators, and that
suit was to be instituted against the United
States for their payment. This amusing
idea gained great prevalence. The bonds
were readily obtained, and all of the Jan
nary, 1865, coupons were paid, simply by
the purchase of the bonds for the amount
of these coo pons and their subsequent de
struction. The remainder of the fund
was absorbed by the-partial payment' of
the coupons next due, in. the order pf their
presentation.' ' Very few of the men who
dealt in the bonds knew what was the ob
ject of the purchase. The circle manag-
? . . . n
mil lue bcucum: was uuiic suibil. iiir.
Benjamin's master mind conceived it and
secured its fulfilment. He handled none
of the money and none was paid to bis or
der. Nobody in the secret made money
out of it. The purpose was simply to re
turn to the creditors of the dead Confede
racy a part of their money.
The whole transaction is now closed, as
all the Confederate assets have -been dis
burscd. Confederate bonds are no longer
in demand. The public can understand
new whv bonds lacking certain coupons
were worthless aad unsalable.

close business discipline as the men. Some
of the: ladies employed in the treasury
are very nervous. If they were men they
would be discharged on account of the
bother they give. There is in the I reas
ury at present a lady who was the daugh
ter of a very prominent former public offi
cial. She was educated and brought up
with the most luxurious surroundings.
Her father failed a few years before he
died and she was left penniless. Her
f riends secured her a place in the Treasury.
She is so nervous and delicate, however,
that she cannot be relied upon for any reg
ular work. The other day she nearly
went into a fit of hysterics because she
was obliged to sit in a room next to a
clerk who was in his shirt sleeves. She
went to one of the assistant secretaries and
made such a wild complaint upon the sub
ject that it was with the greatest difficulty
that he conld calm her down. At one
time it looked as if she was going to faint
away in the midst of ber excited protest.
The majority of the women in Govern
ment employ are very quiet, matter-of-fact,
and are thorough experts in the lines
of business, where they . are , employed.
They make good' typewriters, shorthand
writers , and copyists. The most expert
counters of money in the treasury are wo
men. A.s detectors of counterfeit money
some of the ladies in the National Re
demption Division of the Treasury have
no equals. Tbe presence of fifteen or
twenty hystericky women in the depart
ment is enough to give the chiefs a preju
dice against women clerks as a class.
There is no doubt but what the present
commission investigating the department
is of the opinion that a greater proportion
of women is employed than should be.

THE ORIGIN OF Iff AN.
As It Is Understood In California.
I From a San Fraoeisco Paper.
One of the delightful days of last week,
a young lady, well known in the exclusive
first circles of San Francisco society for
unrivaled personal charms and elegance of
accomplishments, was driven around to 1
make a congratulatory call upon a married
lady friend who was happily convalescing
from that occasional sacred event in the
lives of wedded ladies, which, far from
being a sickness,-is the perfect ' culmina
tion of their health. She was shown into
the parlor, and for the few minutes re
quired to arrange for the reception in that
room where mother and child were doing
as well as could be expected, was left
with no other to entertain her than the
only son and heir of the house, Master
Charles, then in his fourth year. But
Charlie was fully equal, to the situation,
and promises to grow up into an orna
ment of society that will never be abashed
by beauty, however brilliant, into the
painful negative of "no. conversation."
After some unessential preliminary re
marks. Master Charles approached nearer
the visitor and, lowering his tone into the
confidential, asked :
Miss , 00 dot a baby? "
The young lady gave one swift glance
around to assure herself there was no other
bearer of this pertinent question and re
plied :
" No, Charlie, dear, I have not."
"And did 00 never have a baby?''
In spite of the youth of her eager in
terlocutor her handsome eyes drooped be
fore his ingenuous gaze, and her pretty
face flushed as she replied :
"No, Charlie, I never did. Is not this
a beautiful day?"
"And ain't 00 never doin to have no
bady?" persisted Charlie, declining to en
ter on the tempting conversational side
track of the weather.
"My boy, I can't tell. Tell me all the
names of whom those are the photographs. "
" And don't 00 want a baby? "
" Why, Charlie, what a close questioner
you are. If you are not careful you will
grow into one of those newspaper inter
viewers, and then what will your poor
mamma think of your'
"Because," continued Charlie, utterry re
fusing to be switched off, " I know where
00 tan det one. The doctor bought my
mamma one, and he keepth them in hith
offtth. You juth do down Ellith threet to
Martct threet and den 00 do down Martet
threet tq Tarney threet, an den 00 do
down Tarney threet ever tho far, and den
00 do up a lot of thairth and thath where
he keepth 'em, And they're awful cheap,
too. My papa hathn't paid for my mam
ma's baby yet, but heth doin' to."
" Well, Charlie, Tm sure I'm much ob
liged to you for your full directions, and
I'll know just where to go."
" Oh, Mith , 00 needn't do. I'll tell
my papa just ath thoon ath ever he turns
home that 00. want a baby and he'll det
one for 00, and "
That young lady seized that little boy
by his two shoulders,5 and; leaning over so
as to look full into his eyes, she said, with
ah impressiveness lent by sudden terror;
"See here, Charlie, listen to me. I
don't want any baby yet, and if you ever
say anything about it to your papa I'll
never like you any more at all, at all, never,
never, never. Now, will you promise?"
" Well, if 00 don't want a baby I won't;
but 1 1 ot everybody liked to have batntb,
I do."
The interview was here terminated by
the entrance of a servaBt to usher the visi
tor into the presence of the convalescent

KNEW ABOUT FARMING
Baltimore Manufacturer's Record.
No county in this State can show such
a marked change as Mitchell county a
change' from a 'rural population of small
farmers to a vast mining camp; full one
half of the population are engaged in or
interested in mica mining. This is the
very centre of the mica mines cropping
out all over the lower part of the county.
Thousands have been taken out of the
Charrissa. Sink Hole and Ray Mine annu
ally. Many new discoveries are being
made. The mines above named and some
others were worked by the pre-historic
race; traces of their primitive tools are
found. New discoveries are being made
every week. , There is a ready cash sale
for all mica mined here this county sup
plying over one-half of the mica used in
the United States. Blocks of mica weigh
ing one or two hundred pounds are taken
from the mines squaring from S by 4
inches up to 16 by 18 inches, the latter
worth six and eight dollars per pound, ac
cording to quality.
Some very important new discoveries of
mines used by ancients have been made :
one of these on Wolf Branch, another on
Big Crabtree.
This county is remarkably healthy, and
a resort for summer travelers. In this
village (Bakersville) of 650 inhabitants,
only six deaths have occurred in four
years; only one child died in four years,
and only one death the past twenty
months; over fifty children born in the
same period of time. This is a compara
tively new county, and is destined to be
one of the best for manufactures in the
State. Parties are now looking at the
timber and splendid water powers. On
some point on the newly-projected railroad,
an inland city will spring up like Ashc
ville. The celebrated Cranberry Iron
Works are in the upper part of this county,
employing some 100 men. What was a
dense forest a few years ago is now a
thriving mining town.
Kkoxville. Tenn. With the aid of
other gentlemen of this place, I have de
veloped a silver mine that is now ready

iron mines, the now terminus of the East
Tennessee fc North Carolina Railroad
Tbe ore is a Chlontic slate, containing a
handsome per cent, of lead, silver and
gold. There is a large vein with one hun
dred and fifty acres of land and timber of
the best quality and in great quantity, and
a fine water power for all milling and
mining purposes, while labor is cheap and
the climate is not to be excelled. Near
this mine we have as fine, if not the same
magnetic iron ore as the Cranberry, though
not developed. In the county of Cald
well, N. C, fifteen miles from Cranberry,
I also developed and have now ready for
machinery a very large vein of brown slate
ore of the easiest muling quality that as
says from $16 to $17 per ton free of gold.
This ore can all be quarried ; the mine is
free from water; the quantity of ore is im
mense; the tract of land contains three
hundred and fifty acres ; timber fine, and
water power as good as the best, and of
easv access by fair roads. The altitude is
about four thousand feet on the south side,
and three miles from the top of " Grand

What Is tho Cost of the Nation's food t

Sew York Sun.J
An interesting computation made by
Mr. Edward Atkinson is presented in sum
mary by BrndntreeVt. Mr. Atkinson has
been endeavoring to determine, not how
much it actually costs the people of the
United States for food, but what would be
the aggregate expenditure on the basis of
a fair average for individual nourishment,
and how the expenditure would be dis
tributed among the various items of sub
sistence. 1
The conclusions of this intelligent and
careful economist were reached by the fol
lowing method : He took the actual cost
of feeding seventeen adult men, most of
whom were hard-working mechanics, and
eight womeri, three being servants, for six
months, in a Massachusetts town. He also
took the actual cost of the food eaten by
seventv-twol adult femslo factory opera
tives and efght servants in a maryiana
town. He assumed that the average of
these two tables would be no more than a
fair daily raiion for all adults throughout
the country Here are the individual av

DEMOCRAT AND REPUBLICAN.
The Parties that will Last.
WOIHEN OFFICE-HOLDERS
New York Sun.
There is always a new align
ment of parties. E cry new idea and new
departure produces a new aligriinent; and
it is quite probable that the silver question
may play an important part in the changes
and complications of the next year or two.
In the same w ay the tariff question came to
tbe front in the organization of the Forty
eighth Congress, threatening to produce a
new alignment of parties; but the menace
was not fulfilled, though very likely it is
still in existence. Thus we may see the
dispute between the free traders and pro
tectionists once more making its appear
ance in the organization of the Forty-ninth
Congress, ana iu the legislation of this
year and the next.
But, however parties may be aligned,
and whatever changes take place in the
relative positions of those who discuss
these important subjects and who vote
upon them, in Congress or at the polls,
whatever happens, the Democracy remains,
and the Republican party also will remain.
The reason of this is that each of these
parties is founded upon distinct qualities
01 tne mma ana aistinci tenaeucies 01 Hu
man nature. The Democracy is inspired
and animated by a tendency toward self
government, and toward the constant les
sening of the power and action of govern
ing authorities ; while the Republicans, on
the other hand, are inspired by the desire
to increase and strengthen and extend that
power and action. The conflict between
these two tendencies is as old as civilized
society ; and, while the tariff question, and
the silver question, and whatever other
questions, however great their importance,
are only temporary, these original tenden
cies and forces remain alive and potent,
and the conflict between them will have to
be fought out in discussions and voted
upon at the polU a century hence just as
much as to-day.
Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.

Of course; it is easy to say that these re
sults would jhave more weight if the aver
ages were based on a wider investigation
of the costf of living, and a more exten
sive collectipn of data. But it is exceed
ingly difficult to get at the exact kitchen
figures in ady case, or to find an establish
ment wher the margin of waste is not
sufficiently (large to destroy for this pur
pose the value of the facts. Mr. Atkin
son probably selected the Massachusetts
and the Maryland households as representative-establishments
in preference to all
others within his knowledge, on account
of the prudence there displayed in buying
and the economy in the preparation of
the food. I,n the case of the Maryland
women, lessjmeat and fish was consumed
and more vegetables than with the Massa
chusetts family, largely of men. The cost
of living in! Maryland was less than three- .
fourths, of that in Massachusetts-lHf cents
a day in Maryland and 28 cents in Massa
chusetts, f " 1
What will strike everybody in the table
given above is. first, the large relative
cost of sugar and syrup as compared with
that of flout and meal i and seconaiy, me
fact that so (great a part of the total ex
penditure is for dairy products and eggs.
The milk, butter, cheese, and eggs con
sumed costs; more than the flour, tbe meal,
all the vegetables, andi the tea and coffee
together, j 1 '
Roughly speaking, then, the average in
dividual ought to live pretty fairly, so far ,
as food is concerned, on a quarter of a dol
lar a day, or a dollar and three-quarters a
week, or ninety dollars a year. Mr. At
kinson thinks thatf-hy judicious purchas
ing and economical serving the thing
could be dctae for twenty cents a day in
the East, and probably for less in the West.

Not Lacking in Chivalry after all.
New York Times,
To Col. T. W. Higginson is due the
credit of refuting the slander that New
England men will not marry New England
women. It has been published broadcast
that there are 60,000 more women than
men in Massachusetts, and the conclusion
has been drawn by short-sighted and ma
licious persons that this excess of women
shows that Massacnusett8 men ao noi uae
Massachusetts girls. It is pleasant to know
that this conclusion is entirely unautnor-ized.
It is true that there are in Massachusetts
64,483 more womqn than men. Of these
women, as Col. Higginson assures us,
52,903 are widows, 8,978 are spinsters,
1,785 are married, and 817 are aivorcea.
The excess of women in Massachusetts is
thus seen to consist mainly of widows. It
is not true that Massachusetts men do not
marry Massachusetts' women. The real
truth is that the men do marry, but that a
verv lartre proportion of them die after
marriage.
The fact that there is this enormous ex
cess 01 widows in laassacnusens snows
that it is very dangerous to marry a Mas
sachusetts woman. Fifty-two thousand
nine hundred and three men have tried it
and have paid the penalty with their lives.'
What It is that renders the Massachusetts
bride so deadly it is difficult to imagine.
She is certainly as attractive and at least
