As you are always glad to hear alsitit

correspondent, may I add a curious
story with regard to the home of the
late Irish leader? The story Is made
more credible by the fact that there
was something iu the late Charles
Stewart ParueH's majestic Isolation
which reminded one strangely of the
gloomy grandeur of the mountains sur
rounding his home. In the square en
trance hail there is a billiard table, ami
the story is that the ghosts of the old

There is a very simple rule for find
ing the average number of years which
persons of any age may expect to live.
If the present age be deducted from
Si, two-thirds of the remainder Is the
answer required. This result Is Uot
absolutely accurate, but It Is near
euough. For instance, a man aged 20
might by this rule expect to live 40
years louger, which Is Just what the
latest actuarial tables give. At 40 the
expectation of life works out at nearly
27 years, while the tables give it as
more thau 25 years. At U0 the above
rule allows Just over 13 years, and the
table shows a little less.

Queer lleadd reaea.
Iteports from Imdou state that at
the opera one night last week Lady
Henry Bcntinck "wore great bunches
of H-ach blossoms ou either side of her
Lead after the manner of the geisha,"
while au American woman had her
head covered with masses of matrve
orchids. Ijidy Algernon Gordon Len
nox wore au immense headdress of
feathers aud chiffon, with a big jewel
ed snake going around the back of her
hair, and Mrs. Carl Meyer wore a
striking head structure composed of
jeweled rings, while Mrs. lleofa Wil
liams wore around her head two or
three row s of roses of various shades,
and another woman wore violets from
the back of her neck to her forehead.
These remarkable headdresses may
be the natural sequence to the earlier
report that nearly all the fashionable
womeu lu Ignition were wearing cuor
mous wigs. These wigs were made
uecessary. it was said, by the fact
that the women's hair was falling out
so thickly that a general epidemic of
baldness was feared.
Kleptomaala.
It may Indeed give lis pause when a
magistrate expresses himself so strong
ly aUmt kleptomania as one did the
other day. He very plainly intimated
that he did not Ixlicve in so called
kleptomania ut all, since in all his ex
perience as a magistrate no man who
had ever I .eon 1-efore Lim had pleaded
that he was a victim to this "disease,"
while, on the other hand, all (he -ladies
who had Ih-cii charged with stealing
pleaded their Irresponsibility on that
grottnd. nud It was noteworthy, said
he, that it was always ladies who
seemed to le so afflicted. When a wo
man of the lower classes stole, her
crime was not attributed to "ill tease."
But, surely, it was a little hard on wo
men generally to say that kleptomania
came alHiut through tlie "ladies' love
of a bargain, which they came to love
so much that at last they craved to
get it for nothing at all." Philadelphia

POETRY WHICH BURNED.
Th Saeeeaafal Srheaie of a Hhr
aler to Slake Jlmrf.
A very wealthy, sedate aud enter-
prising manufacturer in Pennsylvania
has a brother who Is trltliug. dissipat
ed aud of course a spendthrift But
the fellow now and then displays re
markable ingenuity lu "making a
raise." All his life Le Las indulged,
among other bad habits, that of writ
iug execrable vers', much of which,
however, he has managed to get
priuted.
Lately he conceived the monstrous
idea of having all Lis stuff priuted iu
a book aud with the aid of an uuscru
pulous printer succeeded lu bringing
out the "work" in quite handsome
shape. But in the most affccliountt
terms he "dedicated" the book to his
wealthy brother, who regards his ue-r
aud dissolute kinsman s isx-try as
really the most reprehensible thing
that the Incorrigible fellow does.
But the rhymester aud his "black art'
accomplice knew their business. They
printed a large edition of the book and
scut a copy to the wealthy man. who
Immediately purchased the entire edi
tion and the plates and made "words
that burn" of the "poems" by means of
a bonfire. He also sent to his crue
brother aud induced him to accept a
salary to tlo nothing but throttle bis
verse lieud.
The wicked printer obtained capital
enough to go to Chicago and carry on
a reputable printing establishment
and the bad brother is earning mon
money by keeping his verse fiend si
lent than better p-cts do by keepln
their mi se constantly at work. W
