BIGGEST WOMAN IN NEW YORK Death of Mrs Mary Smith, Who| Weighed 76@ Pounds. New York; Dec. 31.—Mrs. Mary | Smith of 227 East Forty-seventh street, 48 years of age, was perhaps the largest woman in New York. She weighed 700 pounds. She was noted for her activity and joyous nature, notwithstanding her im mense size and weight. On Christmas she was in a partic ularly merry mood and enjoyed the festivities of the day with her grand children. She appeared to be in good health and spirits Thursday, but in the evening while walking slowly about the room, she suddenly threw up her hands, gave a low moan and sank lifeless to the floor. The doctors pronounced her death due to heart disease. There was not @ coffin in the city large enough to hold the body, and Undertaker Charles O'Brien was i obliged to have one especially made for her. It required eight strong men to carry the body downstairs to the hearse. Mrs. Smith was of Irish paren- tage. a William’s Australian Herb Pill.

Ban- croft says that the great orator rais- ed himself on his {pillow, and that for an instant the old time fires gleamed from hiseagle eyes as he exclaimed, ‘I still live! and, sinking back, was dead. Was that the truth? Not much! Webster lay on his bed 80 quiet that it seemed as if he had passedaway. The physician entered the room. ‘Guess he’s gone now,’ he said. ‘Not yet,’ said Webster, as he roused himself; ‘not yet.) I'm still here; where is the brandy?) Aud he reached for the glass of brandy with which they had been dosing him. That was the last sentence that hespoke.

Brussels, Jan. 1, 5. p. m.—The royal palace at Laeken, a suburb of this city, is burning. Princess Clementine, the daughter of the king had a narrow escape from being burned to death. Her governess was burned. All the royal art col- lection has been destroyed. The ing the king’s private rooms. At 10 p. m. the palace at Laeken had the appearance of ahuge furnace and there came from it constant crashes and volanic bursts of flame and sparks as portions of timber’ stone or other masses of debris fell into the fire. The heat was so great as to totally prevent the ap- proach of the small fire brigade, which at best could have done but little. The Queen's apartments have suf- fered most. Much plate has been saved but the valuable pictures. the gobelin tapestries and the great li- brary are all consumed. The ex- tensive green houses and stables are not touched. The king is very anx- ious about the statuary in the ro- tunda. There is little hope that any of it is saved. The only occupants of the palace at the time of the breaking out of the fire were the Princess Clemen tine, aged 17; a lady attendant, and her governess, Drancourt. The governess having escaped with the others returned to the Princess’ apartments to secure some valuables and was suffocated. The Queen is greatly greived at her fate.

To point an argument the Courier Journal revives a speech made by Abram Jasper to the colored picnic at Shantytown, in the late campaign in Virginia: “Feller freemen”, says he, “you all know me. Tam Abram Jasper, Republican from way back. When there has been work to do, I has done it. When there has been any votin, to do, I has voted early aud often.

I regard it as an honor to be in any way related to an organization formed for the pur pose of “propogating democratic principles’ and I am especialiy pleased to learn that your club is pledged to ballot reform.

One day, as I crossed Rose street, = little girl about ten years old was en-/ gaged ina rough-and-tumble fight with a boy two or three years older. While she was doing nobly, it wasn't a fair fight, and I interfered to protect her. “What is it to you?’ she hotly de- manded, as she turned on me with flash- ing eyes. “But you are a girl,” I replied. “But I kin lick him if he'll fight fair.” I drove him off, and sat down on a doorstep with her. “Girls shouldn't fight,” I said, as the ragged and unkempt child at my side ww cooler. “Not if they are picked on?” ‘Then they'd call me a coward.” “But suppose they did? You come of a cowardly sex. Women are not brawl- ers and fighters. They are tender and gentle, and given to soft words and peaceful ways. Where do you live?” “Down a piece and up stairs.” “Father and mother living?” “No: but dad and mam is.

Did you?” I repeated it for her, and when I was through she said: “Say! I'll learn that some day if you'll try me!” Was it queer that I met her again and again at the same spot, and that she was always on the lookout for me, and that after the first meeting she began to grow interested. She also grew ashamed of her garments, and I noticed that she had tried to patch and mend. At the third or fourth meeting she had a clean face and her hair had been combed. I think the neighbors looked upon it as a great mystery, but if they quizzed the child she did not let me know it. We used to talk of the country, other cities and people, the mountains and plains, the ten thou- sand things she had never heard of but was hungry to be informed of. I watched her closely, and I could see that knowl- edge brightened her eyes and made her face more gentle. Little by little she dropped off her slang, and little by little her manner changed to the coyness of her sex. Ireached the spot one afternoon to discover that she had failed me for the first time. In her place was a broad- shouldered, red-faced woman, who walked up to me and demanded: “Are you the rapscullion who has done all this?” “All of what, ma’am?” “Been preachin’ to my Nanny until she’s got so soft and good for nothing that a fall down stairs has put her in her coffin!” “Nanny dead!” “And buried, sir, and she went on abont the Lord’s prayer and Heaven and green fields until she almost made me crazy.

The Egyptian eggs are very small and their chickens are not half the size of ours. The Chinese are the greatest fowl-raisers in the world, and they rank high among the egg-eating nations. They never eat an egg unless it be boil- ed hard or pickled, and the Chinese pre- served eggs are one of the beauties of their gastronomy. It takes forty days to cure an egg properly. Itis not fit to eat before that age and after that the older the better. Lime, salt and vine- gar are mixed together in the pickling and the egg, when ready for use, is as black as coal.
