A yonng lady member of this family went out boat riding one evening, and during the trip she lost a valuable bracelet from liorarm. The bracelet was in the form of a gold cbuln that fastened with a hook. The yonng lady wan very much distressed over the Ion of the ornament, and she offered a reward of 30 for its recov ery. Fishermen searched the river bot tom for It In vain. A few days ago Beehe, who osnally makes abont two eeling trips to tho Con : necticnt river during the winter, bitch ed np bis horse and drove down. The ice was rather thin on the old eoling ground, and Beebe was obliged to go abont a mile up the river to Brockway'a bend. Here the ice wbb soft, and Beebe began work. He worked all day like a beaver and succeeded In gotting but one very small eel. The next morning he decided to hnve fried eel for breakfast anyhow. He took the eel down from the nail on the side of the house, where be had hung it the night before. It was frozen as stiff as a marline spike, but he took it out Into the woodshed, and in less than a minute be bad its bide off. He then ran his knife Into the eel's throat and shoved it toward its tail. When about half way down, the point of the knife struck something tbnt refused to be cut in two. He slahed into the eel's middle. To his astonishment, a long metal chain, as bright as it new, lay lengthwise of the stomach. He showed the chain to his wife. Mrs. Beebe took the thing and exam ined it. Un the heel of the clasp the name of the young woman who lost the bracelet last summer was engraved. The circumstances of the lost bracelet were known to the people of Salem, and arter breakfast Savilian bitched np his horse and headed for Ebscx, where he delivered the bracelet to the people with whom the Cincinnati family boarded and leceived the 20 reward.

Borden of 620 South Front street, formerly chief officer of the bark S. U. Bowart, was presented last week through the Swedish and Norwegian consul with the King Oscar medal of the second cluss for his gallantry in saving the crew of the Norwegian bark Amiii da of Christiunia, Captain W. J. Lar sen. Seaman Patrick Mulvuney, who volunteered to row Mr. Borden off to tbe waterlogged wreck, received a medal of the third clues from King Oscar. " The Bowart fell in with the Annnda off the coast in February, 189a. The latter was in a sinking condition, and although a heavy sea was running and it was hazardous to launch a boat even Mr. Borden volunteered to try to res cue tbe crew. Seaman Mulvaney offered to go with him, and the two nmnaged to get alongside the derelict and took off Captain Larson, his officers and crew. The shipwrecked men had given np all hopes when the Bowart hove in sight, and even then thought the sea too heavy for a rescue. The medals are of silver, with the head of King Oscar on one side, on the other the name with tbe motto "For humanity" in Norwe gian. Philadelphia Times. , Royal Flapdoodle.

She Vowed Never to Speak to Hint Again, but Married 11 1 in Jiint the Name. , About 18 months ago Mrs. Cartel! was Miss Fannie Braiubley, a beautiful young lady of 18 years, and Jerry Car- tell was her favored suitor, lint, as la generally tho case with yonng levers, a quarrel arose between them, and in the heat of passion Miss r annle angrily bade her lover leave her presence and Towed by high heaven she would never peak to hi in aguin. The disconsolate iover took bis departure, but as he fair ly worshiped the girl he ardently set about to effect a reconciliation. At lust in answer to a pitiful, pleading let ter Miss Fannie relented and penned to In in a loving, forgiving message. Overjoved at tho happy termination at affairs, he hurried to the home of Miss Fannie and was received warmly and affectionately, but without a word of welcome. Taking a tablet and pencil from a desk, sbo licgun a written cover- sution as though she could not speak a word. She Ib very devout, a member of tho Methodist church, and was firmly impressed with the idea 'that if she should break her rash vow (Jod would punish her by striking her dumb, when sho could speak to no one. The courtship proceeded with pencil and paper for several months, and then they were joined together in tho holy bonds of matrimony. During their married life of nearly a year Sirs. Car tell never spoke to her husband until sonin days ago. Last Christmas Jlr.Curtell made Iiib wife a prtscntof a handsome and costly pair of vases.

"Oh, Jerry, look what yon have ilone! rii.il Airs, tiuteil. She was horribly shocked at speaking to her husband and believed that she had been stricken dumb. To ascertain the coirectm ss of her belief she spoke to him again and was overjoyed to dis- covrr'that her organs of speech had not been in the least impaued. In the happiness of again hearing his wife speak to him Jerry folded her in his arms, wept tears of joy and thanked (Sod for the breaking of tho vase. Mr. and Mis.

GOOD SHOWING MADE BY WOMEN IN THE CIVIL SERVICE. Woman In I'ublle Affalrs-Th Hloycl Mail I'seful Wouieu Unrtors For In ana Women Dressing the Bride Lea; Illation For Women. Time, according to the latest ninth published report I HO 1-2 of the United Mates civil service commission, has brought about a decided increase in the chances for women who wish to en ter the public servlcp. The civil serv ice law practically went Into effect In 1883. The rejiort for 18M stated that while the"law" made no distinction on account of sex the "appointing power" bud this fur used its discretion in the selection from the list of eliglblesof less thun one-sixth as many women as men, althongb a larger proportion of female than male competitors passed. Dm ing the fiscal year 1800-1 147 women were appointed to tlieclussified departmental service exclusive of 122 printer' as sistants in tho bureau of printing aud engraving. During the same period 776 men were appointed or a proHrtion of women to men of somewhat less than 1 to 5. In the year 1801-2 the period covered by the present reiMirt the nuinlier of woinon appointed in cor responding departments was 88 and of men 2 13, showing a proportion of women to men of a little more than 1 in 8, a very decided gain tor wom en. While the commission naively expresses itself as unable to account for this chungeof alliums on the partof the appointing powers it comments on the fact as one of general interest and sug gests that it "probably shows that the prejudice which has heretofore existed to some extent against the apKiintmeut of women to the classified service is gradually disappearing When, however, the lists of tabled of ; promotions are scrutinized, feel that j the mystery is partly expls i tied. By , executive order December. 1801, pronio-, lions were put on tlie basis of the effl- , ciency records kept in the departments and the close competitive tests which havesnmilemented these records. These show that when women in the public service have a fair and even chance with the men they win their full share of the more Inciative and responsible positions.

Senator Bluckbnrn op posed the amendment on the ground that "it would make every woman as well as every man in that territory a quali fied voter." Senator Peffor said: "Mr. President, my intention is very pluin. I intend to avail myself of every opportunity to strike out the word 'male' where that word remaining wonld interfere in any way with the rights of females. The time has come when we need the help of women in public affuirs. If there is any portion of the human family that more than another is interested iu tho home, it is tho women our mothers, our wives, our daughters. Every young man when he searches for a wife and makes a selec tion does it believing that he has not only selected the best woman in the world, but one who is his equal in every resnect.

A writer in a leading Iondoii paper says It is a mistake to think that we can not undertake eallHtliBulo exercises with out attending a course aud paying some one a fee fur teaching us, and this falla cious notiou prevents many of us from practicing dally a few exercise that would do an amount of good that we can scarce ly reullKe without having experienced It. She recommends all ber reader to be gin by devoting live or even two minute every murning before donning the coat or bodice, or every ulght lifter taking It off, to three simple exercise for tbe expansion of the chest and the strengthening of the spinal muscle. Turn the palm down ward aud Just meet the finger tips across the chest. Now extend the arm in a hurl mintal direction to their fullest capacity.' Repeat tbi movement somewhat slow ly, drawing the breath in through the nose in throwing the arm out aud exhal ing it through the mouth in drawing them lu. The result will anon lie felt In a glow of heat. Attain: Place the heels clie to gether und tlie hands on the hips, finger pointing toward each other and slightly downward.

Tbe development of tbe muscles of the buck is the object of another exercise, per formed by standing with the hands on the hips and the feet slightly apart. The kill-en must be kept perfectly straight. The body Is then bent forward almost at right angles and again raised to a vertical position, leaning sufficiently far back to give an Inward curve to the waist. The hand must be kepi on the hips the whole time. These exercises, practiced only a few minutes each day, will soon effect a won derful Improvement lu tbe health and spir it of girls and women, and men, ton, fur the matter of Ajtnt. But the exercise should not be overdone, and should lie omitted, or at all event restricted, on headucby mornings, Pittsburg Dispatch.
