A Kovnl ltaliy Tiimr, Over in West Philadelphia lives young lady who bus passed the greater part of her life iu a basket.

She is Mis Madellna Elling'r, and Is a daughter of Dr. T. J. Elllnger. To he sure Miss Eliinger has only resided on this mundane sphere less than twelve The fact of her bavin lived in a basket Is probably not so re-mwkable as the basket itself, which is a combined cradle, swiiuc and carriage, the invention of tho genial doctor's fertile brain.

Miss Madellna is the doctor's first baby. No commonplace cradle would do for her; so the doctor set his wits to work, with the result that Miss Madellna now occupies the most novel cradle in existence. The body is an ordinary wicker basket, oblong in shape, uponVhich can be attached rockers, converting it into an ordinary cradle, or with the aid of wheels into a carriage. But it has rendered its greatest service as a swing, suspended by a spring from the ceiling. The spring, which is an ordinary spiral arrantfnruent, with quite a strong tension, is attached by a cord to the handles of the basket and suspended from a hook in the celling.

Baby Is then placed in the basket, which has previously been made comfortable by the aid of pillows. The banket is pulled down and allowed to fly back, thereby setting the spring in motion, and away we go. It requires but one pull and the novel swing vibrates for hours, much to the delight and satisfaction of Alias Iiaby. But what proves Dr. Elllnger to be a man who realizes the blessing of labor saving machinery, is a device which he has rigged ont in his bedroom.

For diabolism it has no equal in the criminal calendar of this State. It was perpetrated by white men on a fellow-citizen and his innocent wife and her unborn balie.

The murders, as stated, occuri -4 at 12 o'clock Sunday night. From the facts as conveyed to the Timkh it seems that that a ertizeu named old Jack Smith and Kit Poland bad some dispute about killing a dog of Mr. Poland. Last Friday Mr. Smith carried his gun all day for the pnrpose of killiug both Kit Poland'and his twin brother, Nick Poland.

Failing in his design, Smith and his friends sought revenge by means of the horrible midnight slaughter already recorded. The citizens have already arrested old Jack Smith and one son, Frank Stewart, Charlie Beaucharnp and Lonzo Smith. Kidney Smith and Jim Stewart are still at largo.

The Moscow Gazette denounces the acceptance of foreign aid for the distressed people of. Kussia, and especially English aid. It declares that it wants to turn Russia into another F.gypt. Mme. Tolstoi, the wife of the Count, in an interview to-day said she doubted whether the government would consent to act as the medium for the distribution of foreign assistance, but there was no objection to Count Tolstoi distributing such assistance privately.

The extent of the famine, she continued, instead of be.ng overstated, is greater than any outside person would suppose. Uiazan Province, where her husband is working, the peasants get thirty pounds of grain monthly, but no meat or potatoes. Within twenty days the monthly allowance is consumed, and the peasants then pass the remaining ten days of the month in a state of starvation. Famishing mobs often visit the houses of landlords and wealthy peasants, threatening to burn property unless they rt'ceiv food. Count Tolstoi's family is now scattered, the memhers being scattered at various points, organizing regular aid independently of the government officials, who been accusing them of revolutionarinotives.

Mine. Tolstoi has waited oil the Czar recently and explained to him the injustice of these attacks on Count Tolstoi. She was assured by the Czar that, l.e not doulit tne loyalty of her hus'unU. It was alisurb, said he, to accuse Tolstoi of being a rebel, his sole aim being to do good and practice Christian charity to all men. One son of the Count is ill with fever, caught while famine stricken families.

The coming winter.Mnie. Tolstoi concluded, will a trying time, but she feared the early spring most, as their resources will then be exhausted. To the horrors of famine have been added the concornmitant of pestilence. Small-pox is carrying off large numbers of the impoverished people, who, in their weakened condition, fall a ready prey to the dreaded disease. No mention of the existence' of small-pox is made by the newspapers, and, in fact, they even print nothing about the famine, and a person with no other sources of information would never know from reading the papers that the dread specter of famine and pestilence had spread its wings over vast areas of what has been Russia's most fertile territory.

This is due to secret instructions issued by the police ordering the newspapers to ignore the famine and epidemic of smallpox. In two small vi'kges of the government of Riazan persons are down with the loathsome disease and tiny deaths have already occurred. Small-)ox is also ravaging the provinces of Tiatka, Samara, Yladmir, Kursk. Orenburg, Peierhoff and Sar-toll'. In addition to this visitation of small-pov, typhus fevr is carrying off numerous victims in various provinces.

Kach group has its distinguishing type. The First Empire beauty was divinely tall, and classic 1u her feature and bearing, and a wee bit sentimental. That of the Restoration was less in inches and greater In Kirth, though of waist. She was simple and unpretending, with withal the savoir vivre of education and nobility of race. Kugene Louis has immortalized the beauty of the monarchy of -uly.

She, too, was graceful and elegant, but more modern. Who has not read, i i the annals of the Citizen-King, of the Juchesse de Diuo, the Marquise de Tallyrand Perigord, one of the most fatnons of court beauties. Her rivals were' the Princesse de Liebea, the Prinoesse BolgiojoRS, Baron ne de Vatry, Duchesses de Dalmatic and de Fitz-Janies, who used to call herself queen of England a harmless usurpation; the Countesses Leon and de la Redone. There still survives Liardieres, nee Munster, therefore with Gael ph blood. Mme.

Liardieres has an admiring salon still, her features are handsome and her manners charming. The most imposing beauty of Ixjuib Philippe's time was the Duchesse d'Istrie, who always wore white satin, scarlet ribbons in her raven hair, and a diadem of diamonds. The Comtes.se de Fitz-Jumes had fair tresses and opulent shoulders. There are other names of less prominent note marquises and duchesses of beauty and wit. Of tho "professional beauties" there was the Duchesse d'Klcbingen, one of the most perfect models that ever sut to painter or sculptor; Mme.

Odin comes second. Her blond tresses measured a yard and a half long a record of departed glories. London Court Journal. is indebted for these particlars, that Charlie Washum, a boy, was staying all night with the Polands. Mrs.

Poland called him several times and he went to the room. Lonzo, a little son, spoke to his mother. She failed to answer, lie straightened her head she was dead. The little children saw their parents murdered. Lonsto Poland gave the alarm at Dr.

Gavens' resi-dence. He recognized old Joe Smith and his three sons, and Lou Corbon saw four others among the assassins. On Monday an indignation meeting was held by the citizens at Sparta, and "'iCJJJlplved to show the murderers no mercy, and the impression prevails that Judge Lynch will be invoked to pass summary sentence. Polands are highly respected and esteemed. Kit was a fanner and his brother, Nick, is a prosperous merchant of Sparta.

The matter is being Beauty often depends on plumpness; so does comfort; so does health. If you get thin, there is something wrong, though you may feel no sign of it. Thinness itself is a sign sometimes the first sign sometimes not. The way to get back plumpness is by careful living, which sometimes includes the use of Scott's Emulsion of cod-liver oil.

Hand mirrors of metal are still in common use in oriental countries. In China and Japan they are usually made of bronze, slightly convex and about twelve inches in diameter. The Japanese woman who is so fortunate as to own a mirror regards it as the most precious of her possessions. There is an ancient myth to the effect that the Japanese sun goddess once became angry and shut herself up in her cave, so that all the earth was dark. To entice hei from her concealment the other gods tried various artifices, but all in vain until it occurred to them to construct a mirror by which, when the sun goddess saw her face in it, she was drawn forth through jealousy and curiosity.

When the Japanese empire first came into existence the sun goddess gave the mirror to her grandson, saying: "Look upon this as my spirit, keep it in the same house with yourself, and worship it as if it were my actual presence." This mirror is to this day the most important article in the imperial regalia of Japan. Washington Star. An Argument Against Law a Tennis.
