It wa pretty little windmill, with it big round tower eapied by weather thus, it long arm or blade which rat tled lo the wostwiud like the Mil of bout iti may, and it little round win now looking over the hill of Anjou like the telescope of u astronomer nuch wa the w iuduilll of Boruardeao, and when it wa working all the wind mill around tho neighborhood looked like white sea gull pursued by a bird of prey. It 'H situated on the lope of the Guigneat the end of a little crooked pathway hardly wide enough for the mill donkey, aiid in which one might He-arch in vain for trace of human foot prints, because it wan so dark under its vault of shrubbery, so muddy and tog- j ged that the woman of the mill always took to the vines when on hur way to Ancenis on foot. And a handsome woman, too, was this lady of the mill. She was S3 years old, with a well rounded form, a little hand, flushing dark eyes, lip as ml as wild cherries and a well turned log. She was smart iu her attire, and thero wa little in her appearance to reveal the fact that the was a widow. When she came into the village mounted upon the donkey that carried her bags of flour, all the yonug fellows came out to admire her fine iigure and the beautiful limbs which appeared below her short skirts. Even the donkey himself seemed prond of his mis tress. Ho traveled long at au easy gait, tossing bia head and cocking his ears, as if to say to every body: "Here she is. You have only to look at her. This is la Meuniere of Per nardeau. There isn't another woman like her in all the country I" And that was the truth. But she wa the subject of a great deal of gossip. How the tongues did wag on her account! It was said that since the death of her hus band, a poor goose of a fellow who had taken ber without a cent from a farm and left ber all his property, she fre quently tossed her cap over the blades of her windmill. Whether this was true or not, the blades certainly never told, but one thing is certaiu, and that is that sho old hang up her cap there pub licly ou oue occasion, and it cost her ber life. Here is her story: The first thing tho Vendeans did wbeu they rot-e in revolt against the re public was to mako use of the wind mills. Nothing conld be better suite! for signaling or more troublesome for the enemy. Where the Blues could only see white wings turning round iu a melancholy fashion, the Chouaus pos sessed a perfect telegraphic system, which told them of the movements of the republican army. The windmill of Bernardeau was oue of the principal vedettes ou the Loire. Three days before the attack upon .Nantes, Cathelineau came to the mill of Bernardeau and asked for shelter. It was the 22A of June, 1793. Bonchamp was at Ancenis since the 17th awaiting the main body of the army. The weather was magnificent, and the Vendeau camped iu the open air. When Cathe lineau nt the end of a little road found himself face to face with the beautiful woman of the mill, he asked her if she was a royalist "One might easily become a royalist to serve nuder so handsome au officer as you," said she, "Good enough ! Then let me have shelter here tonight " The meuniere cheerfully welcomed i him, and Cathelineau slept that night in ; the mill. The next morning when he ; m leaving she sent to him from the threshold of the mill a perfect volley of kisses, after which she went up to the highest little wiDdow in tho mill and waved her little white handkerchief. Eight days afterward Cathelineau, mortally wounded, was coming from Ancensis in a carriage, and as he passed by the mill he cast a long and sad look at it According to the order, its blades were arranged so as to announce the ap proach of the soldiers of Cauclaux. From the 17th of October to the 17th of December, during the 60 days which separated the two retreats of the' Ven dean army on the Loire, the mill of Ber nardeau continued its signals of intelli gence with those of La Vendee. But the 17th of December was its last day. Harassed by tho Mayeucais, that crushed them at the battle of Wans, the Vandeens reached Ancenis and endeav ored to cross the Loire, but for want of sufficient rafts a considerable number of them were obliged- to abandon the effort and to advance through the coun try, in the hope of escaping the enemy. At sight of this old mill, which they immediately recognized as an ally, about 20 men took refuge in it just at the moment when Westermann came to the heights of Bel Air. Suddenly a puff of blue smoke rolled from one of the upper windows of the mill. The meuniere herself commenced the fight "Good shot!" she said. "There is one less now. ' ' Westermann ordered a company of hussars to surround the old mill. Be was in too great a hurry to finish with La Rochejacquelin to bother himself with windmills. The hussars had hard ly arrived at the mill before bis flying artillery began to cannonade the few rafts of the Cbonans, who were endeav oring to cross the Loire. The officer who was in command of the company sum moned the occupants of the mill to sur render. The meuniere opened a little window, fastened her lace cap on the point of ne of fhe blades and shouted out. -(Vine aud get It. you ill haped pup. pyP ' from the hussar wa tht only answer ta thosa Insolent word, n..', tvixilmv ii.iitKS were broken to frag ment Tho Vendeeii Inside returned the fire and dropped five of the horse m.u. Tho company then dismounted and rushed m-airot the door of the mill, which they broke with the butt of their gnu. "8uriYi:dr. you scoundrel, or In a few niomelt you'll all be dead!" hunted tb oftUvr. "You are tho scoundrels! yelled the woman of the mill "Lei me nee if yon are nhlo to get my can. " The hussar entered tho low er story, but the ladder was removed by the Yen tloens, who now tired upon them from tho story above and made terrible rav ages In their ranks. The woman of tho mill busied, herself with tho work of loading the gnus, a task which she performed with aston ishing rapidity The Chouaus shelters! behind the flour sacks, cared little for the fire of the Blue "Take good aim!" cried la inenuloro. "Don't let a single one escape. The officer, seeing his men fall all around him, ordered them to come out and take tho place by storm, scaling the arms of tho mill. It was a iiingnitlccut assault Twenty hussar clambered up the blades. With their carbine thrown across their back they clambered up like sailor to tho story aliovo, and from there fell either killed or wounded under the balls or tho bayonet thrusts of the Vendenna. One brigadier man aged to get up to the roof by making a rampart of tho bodies of his comrades, who held on to tho arms like drowning men to plank. "We are all right, my friends!" cried he. "Guard well tho entrance of tiio mtll!" After nlantiiia the color of the company on the weather vane he bored a hole iu the roof to admit the bant I of! his gun. Three times ho tired and mor tally wounded three men. Tins threw tho besieged into a panic. Kesistance was becoming impossible, and the Ven deans were already raising tho butts of their guns in tho air. when la meiAiiero pushed down tho ladder und cut off their retreat. "Now din like men I" she shouted. Then there commenced a per fect massacre. Attacked above mid lie low, tho Vendeans fought like impris oned lions. When the ammunition was DTlinrwr.il. tlu v threw down the sacks of corn and tlour, und, clubbing their muskets, .jmnptd down among the I Blues, who received them o:i the points of their bayonets. It was a horrible i spectacle I "Where is la meuniere.' 'shouted the hussars. "Hero she is, citizens," said sho as sho let herself slip uloug the shaft ot tho mill. "I have given to you no quarter, and I don't want any merry from fel lows like you !" "All right," said tho officer. "We'll settle vour account in short order. Place yourself against that wall. " There was something singularly graceful and proud in her bearing and a glance of withering contempt iu her eye as she advanced towanl the walL Her splendid black hair was now float ing in disorder upon her shoulders. She gathered it modestly around her breast, so as to hido her torn cor-sets. Then she stood against the wall. "Now fire and bo d d!" said she. Thispieceof feminine boldness made the officer hesitate. "How old are you?" he asked. "Twenty-five. " "Yonr name?" "lam la meuniere du Bernardeau." "Do you want to live?" "No, I'd rather die than receive mer cy from yon. " "Come now, simply shout 'Long live the republic!' and I'll let yon go free." "Long live the king!" she cried iu a vibrating voice. A moment afterward there was the rolling sound of a volley. That was tho last of the meuniere of Bernardeau. "She was n plucky piece of flesh, all the same, " said the soldiers. i Westermann 's hussars lost in that at tack 23 men and 8 wounded. Since then the mill has remained abandoned as if it were cursed Open to all tho winds of heaven, without a roof, without arms, it stands. Occasionally a tramp passing through the country takes shelter there and sleeps with the swallows and the bats. Following its well known habit, tho ivy, which seems to be in love with ruins, gradually in twined itself around it, and from a dis tance the uncrowned tower has the as pect of a ruined fortress. How many times have I wandered through that section of the country seeking for details of the dramatic scene which I have endeavored to picture, but la meuniere of Bernardeau had so bad a reputation in that country that her he roic death was not sufficient to cover over, at least in the minds of the peas antry, the faults which sho had or which were attributed to her. Figaro. Writing; With Itoth Hands. A curious and so far as we are aware hitherto unpublished fact about the ex premier is narrated by Mr. Lancelot Strong in The Woman at Home. In the lourpo of a vivid description of Mr. Gladstone's manner of conducting bis ;orrespondence in the houso ho says, "He would take the blotter and begin to write, often with an inditing ien iu Dne hand and a corrective pencil in the nther.

William King, the ne-ro who has two hearts and is able to control the pulsations or either at will, and who occasionally excites tho medical associa tions of the Atlantic coast by making an exhibition of himself, has been ex amined ly Dr. C. A. Jackson of Pitts burg, who report as follows: "The man has two distinct hearts, connected only by tho larger blood ves sels and a very elastic pericardium. He has the peculiar pKWerof moving either of these two hearts independently and can hold one up under tho ribs while the other is let down into tho groin, whero.it can bo felt pulsating even more plainly than when iu its natural posi tion. He can stop one or both from lieut ing for a period of one iiiinnto nnd probably longer, but ho has Ijccii told that to extend tho time beyond that limitj would probably endanger his life. The stoppage of either heart silences the pilso beats on the corresponding side, but docs not affect tho other. If both ore stopped at once, no pulse beut can bo detec ted in nuy part of tho body. "Tho left heart is the larger of the two, being about tliosizu of a coenannt, which is very largo for n man of King's size. Tho right one Is no larger than a good sized gooso egg. "When ouo heart ia down In the flank and the other in normal position, they are separated by a distance of ubout 14 inches. As they lie ordinarily in the chest they nro only about two or three inchSH apart. "The most remarkable thing nhont King's caso is the fact that each heart appears to be complete in all its details and furnished with sufficient blood for use tu its own side of the body. "iu some species of lower animals there lire two distinct hearts, but in them the right sido sends blood to the lungs, while the left does tho work for the general circulation of the whole body."

Tho father of tho undersigned came very near being buried alive, be ing declared by his physician dead, and all preparations made for his funeral be fore he could give visible signs of life.

Tho laboratory that supplies Bishop Fallows' home brewed noualcoholio beer is working overtime in order to keep up with tho demand. The drink, as de scribed by a connoisseur, tastes like old fashioned "yarb tea," and appears to be a preparation of roots, herbs, harks and gums, such as. the grandmothers of the present generation used to give to "clean out the system" after an attack of boils, carbuncles or spring fever. Thero is a general feeling that Bishop Fallows would not spring any nnwholesomo or unrighteous leverage on a trusting com munity, and the Home saloon is doing a tremendous business.
