Mrs. Amelia Rives Chanter who is staying in London, naturally gets more or less mention in the various English prints. One writer asserts that this dreamy-eyed Southerner still holds the palm for “extreme, not to say sublime, unconventionality” in authorship over the most audacious of the Englishwomen novelists. “Not even,” goes on this critic, “the bold ‘lota,’ the original Sarah Grand, the redoubtable John Oli ver Hobbes, the severe Lynn Lin ton, the keen Sara Jeanette Duncan, or the daring Hen worth Dixon, have yet given us a hero whose heart gives ‘a hot leap along his breast to his throat, leaving a fiery track behind it, as of sparks,’ and whose eyes go ‘so deep’ into those of the herione that ‘that he almost felt the moisture of that divine gaze!’ Neither, too, has the pluckiest of our novelists creat ed a heroine who can ‘catch a fold of her inner lip between her teeth,’ although others than Bai b irk Pomfret may be said to possess an elastic cheek. But let us hope that one detail, at least, in Mrs. Rive Chanter’s creation is peculiar to American widows, namely, away of specula ting in regard to their dead hus bands, as to whether ‘if he was a skeleton now, one could see his tailor’s name in gilt through his spinal column. But in justice to the fair Amelie I must own that her expressions are often as beautiful as they are bizarre, and as suggestive as they are original. We can forgive much to a writer who can give us such exquisite phrases as the ’goldbar red silence’of a lonely wood, gray, thoughts, ragged uneven breaths, and winter woods full of lean shad- ows. Divorces West and South The other day a New York min ister asserted that there are more divorces in a ’year in the single city of Chicago than in all the southern states east of the Mississ ippi river, That assertion seems to be sweep ing but it is probably true, for di vorces are as plentiful in Chicago as they are rare in the south. In communities which have not grown from chivalty to commerci alism women may have less free dom, but th-y are treated with more respect and have more ready defenders, — N-'W York World. Poisodeti for Their Insurance. A press dispatch from Saratoga N. Y says: Catherine Nolan and her sis ter Elizabeth, aged 16, have been lodged in tne county Jail, Ballston Spa, on th charge ut tne murber of their brother, John Nolan, by admin istering arseuic Four uitmlh r.< 61 the iaiudy hsve died suddenly since last September, tne father, motuer, sister and brother oi the accused. Embalming fl lid was use i in the first three cases ben re saspici -us were aroused but iu the case oi John Pie last to die. re coroner took charge of the remains ;nd ordered an inquest and post—mortem at once Prof. Maurice Perkins found suffi cient arsenic in his stoiuch and visce ra to have caused death, and the ju ■ ry so found. Another sister, Mary, has neen very ill with similar symptoms, and it is in evidence that the two women had not only obtained policies of insu rance on the lives of those members of their family who have died, but had also applied for a policy on their sister Mary. Something About Soaps. It is astonishing, said a manufac turer of toilet soaps recently, how wasteful women are with fine soap. Those who . would reprimand a servent sharply for dropping a 5 cent cake into a bucket or tub of water, will deliberately nold one that cost $1.25 under a hot-water faucet, and then throw it, wet, upon a soap dish, which oft on has no drainer. It is. moreover, very provoking for us, who, in order to give good value for the money, make our soaps the reverse of wasteful by leaving them in drying rooms for a year longer. No soap should ever be dipped in to hot water or allowed to remain wet. It should be left covered with lather, but so that it may drain. White, yellow and brown soaps are apt to be the purest. Fancy col ors please th© eye, and, of course, whas pent put by arelinbla mnufao- I’l V. *’t . f U . . • * turer, contain nothing which is in jurious to the skin, but in cheap soaps stick to the plain colors. The same authority, himself a manufacturer, states that a fairly cheap soap may be as pure as th most expensive, for the oost is largely dependent upon the perfume used. Moreover soaps which are in high price are not always dearest, for soap that is properly dried will last twice as long as that which though sold for two-thirds the price, is really dearer by reason of the water it contains making it wasteful, The processes of modern soap manufacture vary more than might bo supposed, and it is well that they do, for by this means it is possible forthose whose skin de mands more or less alkali than others to find what is best suited to them, “Nothing to be Learned From Americans.” Mr. William H. Preece, of Lon don, in recent paper, describing his visit to the United States, re fers to his former visit in 1877. stating that the results were .the introduction in England “of the telephone, the practial application of quadruplex working, the adop tion of sound reading in our tele graph offices, the disappearance of the Morse recorder and the more general assimilation of the meth ods of working in the two coun tries;” the chief result of his sec ond trip, in 1884, “was the intro duction of the multiplex system of working by Mr. Delany, now so much in use among us, and doing splendid service in many of our chief towns.” Anything else? Yet some Englishmen claim, adds The Electrical World’ that there is “nothing to be learned from Americans” 1 A Pecular Accident. A pecular accident occured at the Mt. Tacoma Manufacturing Company’s mill in Tacoma on the morning of February 6, which is reported in the West Coast Lum berman as follows: Charles E. Tuttle, a logger in the employ of of the mill, was directed to split a large cedar log lying upon the carriage, as it was too large for the saw, Tuttle stood on of the log suddenly parted and th * unfortun ate man in endeavoring to get out ofthe danger, slipped and fell into the opening between the halves.
