habits of men and women.
Biting the Nails, Biting the Lip3, Stick
ing Out the Tongue, Etc.
From the Chicago News.
“Just look at tliat girl!”
“Yes; it is Miss Blank. What about
tier;”
“Don’t you see her tongue!”
“Oh, yes. Isn’t it perfectly dreadful?
They say she always sticks it out like that
vlieu she’s thinking about anything.”
The young woman in question was prome
nading the cast side of State street early
yesterday morning, attired in a bewitching
costume and a pensive expression, while
the tip of her little tongue protruded in a
manner anything but fascinating between
two lips of the description known to novel
ists as coral. ...
“Yes,” said one of her feminine ac
quaintances, “she always does that when
thoughtful or worried. It’s one of these ter
rible habits which, when once contracted,
stick closer than a million brothers. Miss
Blank began it when a child, and no one
ever took the trouble to break her of it.
B'ow poor girl, it mortifies her terribly to be
told about it, though, of course, she is anxious
to cure herself. But then nearly every one
has some curious little habit which he
would be very glad to break it if he could;
some trick more or less unpleasant, caused
in the first place probably by nervousness.
We all know the man who tugs at his mous
tache and the one who is perpetually pulling
up his collar. Then there is the girl
•who is always rubbing one eye as if in the
search of a stray eyelash, and the man who
can’t be quite happy without some more or
less fragile article to twist and bend and
turn about in his fingers. Anything and
everything from your finest lace handker
chief to your new and extremely delicate
paper cutter, is sacrified to the demon of
nervousness which posseesses him, and yet
you can’t find it in your heart to rob him of
his plaything. He is quite happy and at his
ease so long as ne is allowed to
twirl and twist as much as he
wants to, but bereft of the temporary ob
ject of his alfection he would be abjectly
miserable, and you know it. Many a man
can talk fluently and well while winding
something—anything—about his finger,
who, without it, would be constrained,
awkward, silent. One of the most annoy
ing forms of this disease is the incessant tat
too which some people keep up on their
knees or the table or whatever happens to
be most convenient as a keyboard. I have
noticed that musicians usually indulge the
habit, and it is a very trying one, though 1
don’t know that it is worse than ‘twiddling
your thumb.’ You don’t know what that
is! Why, clasping your hands with the
fingers interlaced and then moving the
thumbs slowly, very slowly, round each
other. Nearly all old English people are ad
dicted to this ‘habit, and look upon it as a
refuge from enui during times of enforced
idleness, such as that ‘blind man’s holiday,’
when it is too dark to work or read, and yet
not dark enough, according to Englith no
tions, to light the gas. At this time of day
an old English woman will sit and ‘twiddle
her thumbs’ so many times from right to left
and then so many times from left to right,
until one begins to think she has discovered
the secret ot perpetual motion. The habit
gains such a hold upon men that they are
unable to sit unoccupied for a moment
without inunediately beginning to ‘twid
dle.’
“Of course, every one knows people who
bite their nails, and nearly all of us can re
member some girl who has destroyed what
was intended for a pretty mouth by a sense
less fashion of biting, or rather gnawing, at
her lip. This is one of the most difficult
habits to break, and at the same time one of
the commonest. If you want to see how
widespread it is, just go over to one of the
State street dry goods establishments about
10 o’clock on any fine morning. Monday
morjiing is best, because Monday is
the favorite shopping day. Didn’t you know
that? Oh, yes, it’s a fact. Any floor-walker
will tell you that more business is done on
Monday morning than any other time dur
ing the week—that is, in the big shops. Of
course, in the cheap ones Saturday is the
E-eat day. Why should Monday be popu
rl Oh, I suppose it is the reaction after
Sunday’s enforced idleness. On Sunday
one can’t shop, and when one wakes on
Monday morning it is so delightful to feel
that all restrictions are removed, and that
there is nothing to prevent one from shop
ping all day if inclined to. I always go my
self on Monday, and, as a rule, meet nearly
all my friends, and half of them, I notice,
invariably bite their lips when considering
anything seriously. When a woman asks:
‘Doyou think this will wash? or ‘Do you
really believe this silk will not cut? or con
fidently informs the counter that she ‘is
afraid 10 yards won’t be enough,’ she nearly
always bites her lip, and a very ugly and in
jurious fashion it is. If the lower lip is the
one attacked, the pretty curve is in time de
stroyed and the fullness flattened out, while
if the upper lip is ill-treated the results are
almost worse, for it becomes lengthened in
a veiy unbecoming manner. Then some
women bite the inside of their lips, at the
side, just at the ‘gussat’ of the mouth, and
this ends in a chronic pout. I am con
vinced that if the girls who indulge in this
trick realized fully its ill effects they would
make more serious efforts to overcome it.
It is comparatively easy to do this when one
is young, and it is quite possible to break
children of such habits.
“There are lots of other curious little
ways peculiar to individuals. I know a
man when embarrassed, always taps the
side of his nose with his little finger, and a
girl who is so given to pushing back her hair
behind her left ear that she has worn a bald
spot there.”
LIZZIE CARLTON'S LIFE AND DEATH
Sold Into Slavery, She Escaped and
Married a Citizen of Louisville.
From the Memphis Avalanche.
Fifteen or twenty yean before the break
ing out of our late civil war a young girl
in her teens came up from Louisiana and
settled in Louisville, giving the name of
Lizzie Carlton. Nothing more was known
of her than that she was accompanied by
young man who was, or who pretended to
be, deaf and dumb, and who, alter aiding
her to secure a situation with Mrs.
Williams, a milliner and dressmaker
on fourth street, returned at once
southward by river. Lizzie was
a handsome bruenette, with a wealth
of raven hair which almost swept the floor,
bright, expressive eyes, and altogether gen
teel and dignified in her general appearance.
Her ladylike deportment and strict atten
tion to the interests of her employer soon
nunlo her superintendent of the establish
ment. The young nnd beautiful stranger
was soon received into the best society, form
ing a number of friends outside her regular
business patrons, among others a Mi-s. E.,
a prominent member of the Baptist church,
at whoso house the dark-eyed beauty was a
frequent visitor. Shu in tune attached her
self to that church, becoming a most exem
plary member.
During her visits to Mrs. E. our heroine
met, Philip S., himself one of the pillars of
the church, who, after living in single bless
edness for years, enjoying all alone his
wealth and family station, soon conceived a
tender sentiment for the young and Ismuti
ful sister. It was not long after the nmteh
makers put their heads together till Philip
and Lizzie were made one. The mnrriuce
eeremony took place at the Baptist church,
ann many old-timer* living to this good day
vill recall all the facts exactly as 1 give
them. After the ceremony the bride and
Broom and their friends repaired to Mr. S.'s
residence, about ten miles from Louisville,
on the lSordstmvn pike, where the usual
wedding festivities were enjoyed.
The honeymoon, with other moons, waxed
and •.vaned. The old bachelor, happy in the
new world that dawned before him; the
young wife, with her back upon the past
nnd its memories, was even forgetting that
*he hod been a hard-worked milliner in the
•truggle for bread. About sunset ono after
noon the door bell rang. Mrs. 8. left her
husband's bedside (he was confined to his
room by a slight Illness at the time), ar
ranged her toilet and descended to tho par
lor. One piercing scream that startled the
echoes aroused Mr. S., who rushed down
stairs. What was his astonishment and dis
may to find his bride fainting on the floor,
and a strange gentleman, attended by a
uniformed policeman, standing over her.*
“Sir,” sard the stranger, “this woman is
my slave. Her name is Melinda Cass. lam
a Louisiana planter; here is the bill of sale.
I bought her a few months before she es
caped from my home, and I have been on
her track ever since, and now she must re
turn with me.”
The distress of the unfortunate couple
drew about them at once a large concourse
of their friends who were as much at a loss
what to advise in the midst of these strange
revelations as were the two most deeply
concerned. The husband, after the first
paroxysm of grief and mortification, vowed
eternal fidelity to his wife, bond or free, and
with the assistance of Deacon E., the Rev.
Mr. Buck, and others, it was arranged that,
in order to quiet matters, the Louisiana
planter should be idemnifled for the loss of
his slave, and a little partv of friends met
together at the Galt House, where the
Louisianian was paid §7OO for compensation,
and* returned home.
Mr. S. being a man easily influenced by
his stronger-minded relatives, was so beset
by his uncles, his cousins, Ins sisters, and his
aunts that he turned his young bride out of
doors. They could not tolerate even a
single drop of negro blood, however con
cealed by a fair exterior. The poor deserted
wife went heartbroken from place to place
in the capacity of a seamstress, and soon
gave birth to a son. She managed to sup
port herself and child, and bear up bravely
under her misfortunes until Mr. ti. married
another. This was more than she could
withstand, and, taking to her bed, •she was
kindly attended by the Sisters of Charity
and a few Baptist sisters in Louisville until
she died of a broken heart.
Lizzie Carlton persisted with her dying
breath that she was of pure Caucasian blood,
a free woman by birth. She related that
her mother a Portuguese, on reaching this
country, being a dork brunette, formed the
acquaintance of a wealthy planter in New
Orleans, who became so infatuated that he
took her to his home, and to conceal his pur
pose from his wife passed the woman oil as
a slave, her complexion enabling her to pass
for a light mulatto. Lizzie was the offspring
of this illicit strategy, and the planter,
dying suddenly and without disclosing
the true character of his mis
tress, who also died soon after, Lizzie,
quite a child, descended to the heirs with
the other property. The estate was left in
volved, and Lizzie was sold on the block to
the planter who afterward pursued her to
Louisville. She further explained that the
young man who fled with her to Louisville
was her half-brother—the son of her
mother’s seducer—and that she fled to es
cape the persecutions of her new master,
who persisted in soliciting favors she would
not concede.
LEFT TO OUR FATE.
Cruel Experience of a Learned Visitor
to Birmingham.
From the Birmingham Age.
The world-wide advertising Birmingham
has received the past twelve months is draw
ing to her confines, besides the welcome
manufacturer and capitalist, a large number
of other pilgrims, who, if neither particu
larly useful or ornamental, are at least
amusing, The Magic City- has become the
cynosure of the genus crank, and those who
do not visit it in person weary the mails by
carrying to prominent business men and
capitalists minute details of all sorts of vis
ionary schemes and brain-bewildering prop
ositions.
A few days ago a modest gentleman in
terested in the formation of an industrial
stock company here received a well-written
letter stating that the author had a process
for making double the quantity of strol with
the same power, at one-naif the cost, of any
present known system. The writer esti
mated that the plant would cost $50,000, and
he would guarantee it to pay the original
outlay in thirteen days after the mill was in
operation. He had an elaborate array of
figures to prove his assertions, and was will
ing to come to Birmingham if a stock com
pany for that amount was formed. The fig
ures dazed the gentleman, who submitted
the letter to a capitalist. The latter looked
at the signature, broke into a loud laugh,
and remarked: “Why, I receive on an aver
age a letter every day from that fellow con
cerning nil sorts of proposals fully as wild
as this. He is a helpless, senile crank.”
A slender, sad-eyed gentleman, well
dressed, with a Russian leather gripsack in
his hand, was sitting pensively in the Union
depot yesterday morning waiting for a
north-bound train, when a reporter fell into
conversation with him. In reply to the
stereotyped question, “What do you think
of Birmingham?” the pensive stranger said:
“I do not like it all, sir. There is no progress
here, and the people are intellectually in
capable of grasping anew idea which iliave
here to introduce—something which, had
they realized its value, would have saved
them from the pestilence which is bound to
lay waste the city and punish them for their
stupidity. I leave Birmingham to her fate,”
and the interesting philanthropist folded
himself in a pall of melancholy.
The reporter respected his grief for a few
minutes and then delicately ventured to ask
him who ho was and in what way the Marie
City had wounded his susceptibilities. In
reply he hamjed his interrogator a neatly
engraved card bearing the name, “Prof.
Edouard Ivers, Toledo, O.”
The professor, in response to sympathetic
questions, finally unburdened himself.
“You see, sir, 1 read a great deal about
Birmingham, and gradually a strong in
terest in its welfare grew up within me. I
was professor of mechanics in a Camden,
N. J., institute for years, and have a
diploma from the Pennsylvania Society of
Practical Chemistry. 1 inferred, from what
I read of the topography of Birmingham,
that it must be a very unhealthy place in
summer, and invented a machine by which
a cool, even and invigorating temperature
could be obtained tho year round, thus
making it impossible for plague or pestilence
to find a homo in this valley. My in
vention when erected at the end
of the valley would simply absorb
all the air—good, bad aiid indif
ferent —and, after purifying it by a chemi
cal process, disperse it in given quantities
again. The renovated air would be heavier
than the natural and impure atmosphero
and the latter could not consequently find
a lodgment within 100 feet of the earth.”
“A valuable invention truly, professor.
Did you bring it to the attention of any of
the citizens?”
“Yes, sir; and offered to put it up and
operate it for ten years if they would give
me 1,000,000 acres of land and sso,ooocash.”
“What did they reply?’
“They derided me—called me fool, crank
and Idiot.”
“The ingrates 1”
“That's what they are, sir. but I leave
them to their fate.
Fools Rush In, Etc.
From the St. Paul Globe.
A big, burly Westerner jostled against a
tall, well-built young man with a light,
moustache in the Nicollet House yesterday
The young man tried to get out of the
other's way, but unfortunately ho struck tho
Western man’s foot.
“I beg your pardon,” said the young man
with the light moustache. “Excuse my
awkwardness.”
“Confound your stupidity,” tho Westerner
burst forth. “Why in can’t you ho
more careful! I've a good notion to break
your head. A man like you ought to bo
thrashed, and I ought to do it.”
The young man morcly bowed his Hbad
and moved away.
“Who is that fellow?’ asked the West
erner of Clerk Shnefer.
“That’s Pat ICillen,who is matched to light
Sullivan,” was the reply.
Tho Westerner was not visible the re
mainder of tho day.

THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, MAY 11, 1887.
ANXIOUS TO KILL A MAN.
The Perplexing Adventure of a Madrid
Grocer Whose Horse Ran Away.
From the Chicago News.
Prince Amadeo, of Italy-, the younger
brother of King Umberto, wore the Spanish
crown for five-and-tweuty mouths (1870-73),
and then threw it off as a too heavy gew
gaw. The pride of the great Spanish
grandees rebelled at being ruled by a for
eigner, although the Cortes had seated him
on the throne. But Spaniards of all classes,
admired the calm courage of Victor Emman
uel’s son, who entered Madrid far ahead iff
his escort, thus offering himself as a target
to assassins.
During his short reign there were several
plots to take his life, and he, after each at
tempt, made it a point of honor to ride or
walk in the streets, attended only by a sin
gle aide-de-camp.
Once there was a comic scene, made all
the more ludicrous by elevating a harmless
grocer to the temporary dignity of a daring
coaspirator. The King, while driving to the
palace, was overtaken by a runaway hack
ney coach, in which was a fat man. The
King’s coachman whipped up his team, but
not in time to prevent • the two carriages
from locking wheels.
The aid-de-camp, seeing the horses gallop
ing frantically side by side, drew his rapier,
thinking that a daring conspirator was about
to kill the King. Furiously he thrust the
blade through the window and panel of the
hackney coach, causing the fat man to dodge
from side to side and to take refuge in a cor
ner, that he might escape the lunging steel.
At the palace gates the guards stopped
the frightened horses and assisted the more
deail-tnan-alive citizen to descend. Wet
with prespiration, trembling as if in an
ague fit, ho blubbered for morcy. He
proved to be a harmless grocer on his way
to market, and, though the paneling was
pierced and the cushions ripped into rags,
he had escaped without a scratch.
When he confessed that ho had never
been more frightened and more violently
exercised, King Amadeo, who had tran
quilly kept his seat., laughed heartily at tho
mistake made by his too zealous aide-de
camp.
The Cause of Consumption.
Scrofula, manifesting'itself in blotches,
pimples, salt-rheum and other
blemishes of the skin, is but too apt by and
by to infect the delicate tissues of the Jungs
also, and result in ulceration thus ending in
consumption. Dr. Fierce’s “Golden Medi
cal Discovery” will meet and vanquish tho
enemy in its stronghold of the blood and
cast it out of the system. All druggists.
