She poisoned her victims by adminis tering pyralion, substance containing arsenic. The accusation against her was not only of poiwaing six people, but of attempting to murder Eaveral others.
Some of her victims had treated her and her child with particular kindness, and for others she had professed friend ship. In no instance was it shown that sho had any hatred for them, and the most she ever obtained by any of their deaths was 700 francs, found by her in the apartments of an aged couple, both of whom died while being nursed by her.

She declared that she was prompted to do this by a woman named Rosalie Gire, with whom she was arrested, but who has been released. She charged Gire with complicity in the poisoning of a man named Rossignol, and the two women were later confronted.
Gire denied that she had ever been in- timate with the prisoner, but declared that Scierri had embraced and made a mockery of her lover Rossignol, after she had murdered him.

AUSTRALIA'S CATTLE KING.
STARTED CAREER WITH A FEW
SHILLINGS WEEKLY.
"Great satisfaction," recently observed the Adelaide correspondent of The Daily Mail," will greet the rains in Northern Australia." Herbage will spring from tho dend, cracked, sun-inked soil liker green life from the grave.
When it rains in this part of Australia it rains with a vengeance-fourteen inches in three days is nothing out of the ordi pary. This is particularly true of what is known as the Tropical Belt, which extends 200 miles inland from the const of the Northern Territory. But south of this area the rains are not so certain- hence the jubilation now recorded.
Bir Sidney Kidman, who has lost 40,000 head of cattle on his vast holdings, is quoted as saying that the rains are the greatest godsend Australia has had for a long time. He is well qualified to speak, for most of his properties lio within the districts affected. He has in- torests in Victoria River Downs station, which covers nearly ten thousand square miles and carried 100,000 head of cattle, and he owns other enormous" rune

Sir Sidney Kidman's career is one of the romances of Australian history. He left home at fourteen with a few shillings in his pocket. Starting at 108. a weak as knockabout lad on a station, he now. runs sheep and cattle over a fair-sized kingdom and owns focks and herds by the hundred thousand.. Ho is a thll," gauat, bearded, slow-speaking Australian,: who never swearn, umokes, or drinks. He would have been a millionaire sooner than was actually the case had he not traded for ten horses his fourteenth part of a share in the fabulously wealthy Broken Hill
However, bullocks have been his stand- by. He bought a few of them as soon sa he was earning £1 a week in New South Wales, and, selling them at a profit, opened a butcher's shop. He added to his profits by selling groceries on an adjacent goldfeld, Inter becoming a con- tractor for the carriage of maie." Still with his eye on stock, be returned to the cattle business, buying station after station, until to-day he himself is un aware of the exact extent of bli vast realm. Ho keeps a staff of clerks engaged in recording the increase and the mova monta of his stock, registering market fluctuations, and compiling taration ro turns. With the completion of the North-South Tailway he will probably be Australia's richest man.
