A mirouy Deed itecalied. The Cqbaret Debene, a tavern in the 'Rue Haxo, near the walls of Pitis, will shortly disappear. The tavern .had acquired notoriety through the .fact that in 1S71 the Co:munists murdered fifty hostages-gendarmes and priests-in its garden. Tne rag ged population of Belleville, infuriat ed by the bombardment of the city by Government artillery, insisted on re taliation; the fifty hostages were brought from the prison La Roquette to this garden, and then, without word of command or order, shot or cut down, and horribly mutilated after wards. -New York World.

STRANGE DEFORYTITY I1 WEST ERN NEW YOt. Residents of Zoar Who for Four Gen erations Have Devoloped Claw Like Fingers and Toes. HE most picturesque stream in Western New York is the Catta-:maguv., writes at corres-;. I ponJent of the -New l orl- Sun. Throiugh most of its course it is the IoundOry line between the counties of Erie and Cattaraugus, and it is not a large stream ercept when melting iisnows or autumn rains have swelled it into a torrent. Rich farms. wooded Ilopes, deep gorges w-hosc lofty walls fnrm the high banks. as the natives call them, and a tangled wildernest tvhere nature still runs -iot, as she has from the first; these mark the course of the Cattarau,_,u;. The Indian name is itself musically expressive, and ro calls the days when only red men oc CII.Pied its ban"Ks. There are still n dJan-S along it, and the reservation kamed for it contains most of the few reiatining members of the Seneca tribe, once the possso of all the re gion frni Lake Erie to and beyond the Genesse. The reservation begins near the vil 1age of Gowannda, and just above there. shut in by high bill, is the wildest and most Inaccessible srot in the whole region, the valley -of Zoar. Here among the hills, whero strange facc are rarely seen, is concealed a renark able example of nature's occasional vagaries and the strange persistence of abnormalities through heredity. Among the few residents of Zoar there are several families of claw-fingered persoas. They are not wild, but nearly all of them bte a curious deformity of the iners and toes which gives them their name. Thy have livea h'ere many yatrs, and alhhoughthirnigbo. ar t'I iine to looAk mpon thuiem sm a vsn, iey are no LOnrCT regarka'. as epcily wonderfful, and one h "avel th 'o l the valley q ozi'11 tie witout once hear g a word about its stranze inhabitin. .no drivjin tbreugh the valley re coutlY the wrAr c,1.ae across an old farmer 1ioiiu-, hemlock bark by the rfe1ie, adti inquired for the claw '*lagered residents. "Tat Rob)inz tribe?" was the re p7y. "Yes, I've knowed some of 'em f*or nizh on forty years, 'cause I was rai7'd right here. Yes, their hands is like claws. '6ome of *en. It's- a m ih ecnr'Is thing, but 'tain. nutlin muacl to look n.t. Why, folke comes all the way from Buffalo [be tween tbirty and forty miles] to look at 'em, an' you' think by the way thy gro o- about it that they was go in to a cirous. As weil as can be learned, the pa caliar ,igital formation of the claw v'cgeed joiks has existed in Zoar throng f'Lour generations. In the early part of the century a mac, nvmed Llobbins set~tled in Zoar. He *as remarkable because his fingers and toe~s were so bent that they re semnbled claws aomnewhat more than they did huma'n digits. In other re spects there was nothing pJarticularly striking about his appearance. His strauge, claw-like hands and toes be camie objects of considerab)le curios ity, but it does not a.ppear that Rob bins ever explaiuned the origin of his deo rmit. Of course, after it reap peared in his diescendants it became the' general opion that Robbins h"imselL inher'itedi it. Others believe that he was the~ founder of the claw fingered family, and that lhe settled in this remaote spot bjecause of his disfigurement. IS veral children were born to Mir. and Mrs. Rlobbins, and all of' them had teus al number of flngers and toes ofr the usual size and appeanrance. Inl he succeding generation, however. he cl"w Ilagers reapp)eared, and since hc they have been found on somec I icmbers of every family that claims descn tfrom the man who introducca thiem into Zoar. A peculiar thing ab out tis strange family heritago is t - - it is impossible to tell where or inl wht1t formi it will ap)2ear. Some tie ti inherited from the father, sometimes fro:n the mother; some U;mes it appears in all the chiliren of a fam'ly, at others only in one or two out 0f a large n:inber ; somneimes a father a.nd mother who have well for nd hiads and feet will bring up a family of chiliren allo f whom are haaly, 'nd~ perhaps vr iously,de formed. Again I arents whose hands are so deformied as to be uns'htly will have children all with hands per feetly straight. 0e casionally the deformity will appear in aperson's hands and not in his feet, or vice versa. Sometimes it is in his right hand or loot and not in his left; and so on till all the possible comnbi nanon areexhauisted. The term ea -ined certainly' would not fit mire than half of those with deformed ':tremoities. Of course none of them bas what could properly be called claws. T'be hands of these people of Zoar arc. usually broad and short in th-? p)alm, with stumpy fingers. The fin ofr the in, and the joints in most othmare either altogether lacking oir are greatly out of plae. That is, tim tinger may Lave only one joint or it 'may ha"ve two elose together. It is o. c:,urse dimeiult to manage such ag'ers, and one might suppose that two of these Zoar peole in shaking hands wrould be likely to get hopeless ly t'ngled up, thoughi such a thing haIs inot b.cn known to occur. Hand' are s-omnerimes f-mnd among them ir ie.h the ting~ers are all joined to her in on'e broad stump. Occasion - n!ya chilid is born having aIn addi he14 claw-nngered residents of Zoar Li' theP ritationi of being so:n.e whac quer, but this is very likely due toth 'fc that the': ieN,rmity has Lerve1 to shut them o:t from their neighors. They seem to ha firly cili'cnt, and their neighbors say m'i ther are industrious and honest. Tuey are seldom seen outside the vai er ad live their own lives apara rom~ others. In their valley ho.ur they 're free for the niost part fromr prin eves, and they may hope ior e cotnuation of this immnunitv, for it ihlkeiy to be a long timet before any purt of Zoar is cut up into city lots. A fewyers ago such a thingsem nlot ieiprobable, for o:1 *'nd g~as were disoveedin the vall in paying gnai'tiesiC. The Stamard i Corc pa'ny quickly secured leases of nearly except for the two wc6 fit put down no attempt has been made to develop the territory. Now the excitement has passed, and the eyrie of this strange people will probably remain undisturbed for many a long year to come, About Lead Pencils. The ordinary-sized lead pencil, such as one gets when he goes into a store and asks for "a lead pencil," is seven inches in lengb. and a trifle more than a quarter of an inch thick. Pen cils are niade in many different styles and shapes and for many special uses. Special peneils of very small diAmeter are made for mathematical instra ments. Another small diameter pencil is the programme pencil made for dancing orders, of which the sale in this country is estimated at live thou sand gross annually. Programmo pencils are made round and hexagon in shape, and finished in a variety of colors and styles; some are wound with silk. Programme pencils are sold sharpened, and with a ring and a cord and tassel attached, ready for use. Other small pencils made are those used for tablets and memoranduni books. Checking pencils, with rei, blue and green crayons, are now used extensively in commercial establish ments and by express and railroad companies, and in almost every office. Thousands of gross of checking yen tils ir- sold annually, and the sale of tiar is constanliy increasing. Crayou pencils for various uwcs are made of Qll colors and in many tints.--Boston Cultivato:.
