Mrs. Learltt's TraTels. The steanishin Nevada, of the Onion line, brought with her Mrs. Mary Clem ent Leavitt, of Boston. Mrs. Leavitt left this country eight years ago, with a steamship ticket in her pocket unci a plentiful supply of faith. She was a member of the Women's Christian Tem perance union, and at the national con vention of the organization in li?S3 it was decided to send out a world mis sionary. olunteera were asked for, and Mrs. Leavitt was the first to apply. She was accepted. It was understood that the association would pay all the expenses of the trip, and before the con vention adjourned 1,000 had been sub scribed. She determined not to accept it "I'm going on God's mission," she said, "and he will carry me thronh." She purchased her steamship ticket with ner own money. Verv littlo lm boon h?r.rd cf her since she went away. Occasionally a letter was printed in the organ of the associa tion telling of her progress. There was great rejoicing a month ago when a let ter brought the news that she had near ly completed her journey and would be home again. There was a mistake about the date she was to sail, and the only person who was on the pier to meet her was Mrs. Mary Towne Durt, the presi dent of the Women's Christian anion of this state. She looked, Mrs. Burt said, just as she looked the day she went away, and no older, though she is now a grandmother, one of her three children whom she left behind having married. Mrs. Leavitt went to Buston. She will remain there until October, when she will come to New York to attend the national convention. In the eight years she has been away Mrs. Leavitt visited the following places: Hawaiian islands, New Zealand, Australia, Tas mania, Japan, China, Siam, Straits set tlements (Singapore and Malay penin sula), Burtnah, Hindostan, Ceylon, Mau ritius, Madagascar, Natal, Orange Free State, Cape Colony, England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Congo Free State, Old Calabar, Sierra Leone, Madeira, Spain, France, Holland, Norway, Sweden, Fin land, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Greece, Egypt, Syria and Turkey. She has organized 68 W. C.

While looking over the latest arrivals In rubies, sapphires and diamonds in an up town jewelry store the other day, a customer was somewhat startled to no tice a stylish blond woman ask the clerk at the counter for a silver footbath. The loiterer watched interestedly the proceedings which followed, an4 saw the clerk emerge from the farther end of the store with a silver bowl, rather oblong and perhaps ten inches in depth. He placed it on the counter, and proceeded to explain the beauties and comfort of it 'Of course, said he, "they are quite new as yet, but all the ladies who have purchased them speak highly of their convenient uses. There, you see, the hot water faucet is hero on the right, and the cold on the left, and this little para sol arrangement is the shower bath, which can be made as forcible as de sired." 'Did you say you had sold many?' in quired the customer. "H only received them a week or two ago, hut we have sold a goodly num ber for that short space or time."

It was a beauty, and no mistake; all carved with lilies, ferns and leaves, and frosted all over. The handles of the faucets were of pearl, and it was not surprising to bear the clerk name the price of $100. New York Continent Unique Commencement Exercises. The guests who gathered nnder the elms of old Wullingford for the first commencement of Uosemary ball were not asked to listen to essays on "The Pleasures of Memory," "The Progress of Women" and like topics, so dear to the heart of the graduating school girl. They entered the great dining room of Hon William O. Choate's summer residence to find themselves in Venice looking on ths Grand canal, with its floating gon dolas, and at Shylocks house, with pretty Jessica leaning from the casement Four scenes from the "Merchant of Venice' were given with much spirit Then the guests were invited out of doors to see the contest for the silver mounted whip.

BARBARA'S SEVERE TEST Pretty Barbara Ferros would not marry.- Her mother was in consterna tion. "Why are von so stubborn, Barbara?" she asked. "You have plenty of lovers." "I want, when 1 marry, a man who is brave, equal to any emergency. If J give np my liberty I want to be taken care of." "Silly child! What is the matter with big Barney, the blacksmith?' "He is big, bnt I never learned that he was brave." "And you never heard that he is not. What is the matter with Ernest, the gunsmithr "He's as placid as goat's milk?" "There is little Fritz, the tauner; he is quarrelsome enough for you, surely?" "He is no bigger than a bantam cock. It is little he could do if the house was set upon by robbers." That night Ernest, the guusmith. knocked early at the door. "You sent for me, Barbara," he said, going to the girl who stood upon the hearth coquettishly warming one pretty foot and then tho other. "Y'es, Ernest," she replied, "I've been thinking of what you said night when yon were here." "Well, Barbara?" "1 want to test you." "How?" the other "I want to see if you dare do a very disagreeable thing." "What is it?" "There is an old coffin upstairs. It smells of mold. They say Redmond, the murderer, was buried in it; bnt the devil came for his body and left the coffin empty at the end of a week", and it was finally taken from the tomb. It is upstairs in the room my grandfather died in, and they say grandsire does not rest easy in his grave for some reason, though that I know nothing about. Dare you make that coffin your bed to night?" Ernest laughed. "Is that all? 1 will that, and sleep soundly. Why, pretty one, did you think I had weak nerves?" "(rood night, then, I will send a lad to show you the chamber," said imperi ous Miss Barbara. Ernest turned straightway and fol lowed the lad in waiting through dim rooms and passages, up echoing stairs, aloug narrow damp ways, where rats scuttled before tliem, to a low chamber. The boy looked pale and scared, and evi dently wanted to hurry away, but Er nest made him wait until he had taken a survey of the room by the aid of his lamp. It was very large and full of re cesses, with high windows in them, which were barred across. He remem bered that old Grandsire Ferros had been insane for several years before his death, so this precaution had been necessary for the safety of himself and others, in the center of tho room stood a coffin, be side it was placed a chair. The room was otherwise perfectly empty. Ernest stretched himself in the coffin. "Be good enough to tell Miss Barbara that it's a very good fit," said he. The boy went out and shut the door, leaving the young gunsmith alone in the dark. Meanwhile Barbara was talking with the big blacksmith iu tho keeping room. "Barney," said sho pulling her hands from his grasp whnu he would have kissed her, "1 have a test to put you through before I give you any answer. There is a corpse lying in the chamber where my grandsire died, in the unten anted wing of the house. If you dare sit with it there all night, and let noth ing drive you from your post, you will not ask me to marry you again in vain. "Are these all the conditions you can offer me, Barbara?" "AIL And if you get frightened you need never look me in the face again. "I'll take them, then." So Barney was conducted to his post by the lad, who had been instructed in the secret, and whose involuntary stare at Ernest's placid face as it lay in the coffin was interpreted by Barney to be natural awe of a corpse. Ho took liig seat, and the boy left him alone with the darkness, the rats and the coffin. Soon after young Fritz, the tanner, ar rived, fluttered and hopeful from the fact that Barbara had sent for him. 'Have you changed your mind, Bar bara?" be asked. "No, and I shall not until 1 know that you can do a really-brave thing. "What shall it be? I swear to satisfy you, Barbara," "1 have a little proposal to make to you. My plan requires skill as well as courage. . "Tell me." "Well, in this house is a man watching by a corpse. He has sworn not to leave his post till morning. ' If you can make him do it I shall be satiHfied that you are as smart and as brave as 1 require a husband to be. "Why, nothing Is so easy," exclaimed Trite. "I can scare him awuy. Furnish me with a sheet, show me the room, and go to yonr rest, Barbara. Vou shall find me at the post in the morning." Barbara did as required and saw ths tanner step blithely away to his task. It was then nearly 12 o'clock and she sought ber own chamber. Barney was sitting at his vigil and so far all had been well. The face in the coffin gleamed whiter through the darkness. The rats squeaked as if a famine were upon them and they melled dead flesh. The thought made him shudder. He got np and walked boat, but snuieii.iig made a slight noise, as if somebody was behind him 1 and be put his chair with iu back against the wall, and sat down again He had been hard at work all day. and at last In spite of everything, be grew sleepy Finally be nodded and snored. Suddenly it seemed as if somebody bad touched him. He awoke with a tart and saw nobody near, thongh In the center of the room stood a white figure.

"The d 1 take you!" cried Barney in his extremity. Involuntarily he stepped back; still the figure advanced, coming nearer an. I nearer, and extending both arms, as if to tike him in a ghostly embrace. The hair started up on Barney's head; he grew desperate, and just as the gleam ing arms would have touched him he fell upon the ghost like a whirlwind teariug off the sheet, thumping, pound ing, beatiug and kicking, more and more enraged at the resisiauce he met, which told him the truth. As the reader knows he was big and Fritz was little, and while he was puni meling the little tanuer unmercifully and Fritz was trying in vain to get a lunge at Barney's stomach, to take the wind out of him, both plunging and kicking like horses, they were petrified at hearing a voice cry: "Take one of your size. Big Barney!" Looking around they saw the corpse sitting up in his coffin. This was too much. They released each other and sprang for the door. They never kuew how they got out, but they ran home in hot haste, panting like stags. It was B;irbara herself who came and opened the door npou Ernest the next morning. "It's very early; one more little nap.' Said he, turning over in the coffin. So she married him, and though she sent Fritz and Barney invitations to the wedding they did not appear. If they discovered the trick they kept the kuowl edge to themselves, and uever willingly faced Barbara's laughing eyes again. Sheffield Telegraph. Spectacles III Art. Among the figures forming part of the architectural decorations of the interior of tho chapel of Henry VII is ono of a saint reading a book and wearing a pair of spectacles without side strips, and of the form that used to bo distinguished by th rp.!.e go Ks. Suc'u euily eye glasses were circular in form and were fixed in rims of leather, connected by a waist or curved piece of the same mate rial. Leather has elasticity enough to hold the glasses iu position on the nose. Such a pair, probably not later than the time of Charles II of England, is pre served in tho British museum. These leather rimmed goggles appear to have been succeeded by glasses of the same shape with rims of tortoise shell and a steel waist An example of the early part of the last century, in the original black fishskin caso, shows that there was difficulty in attaching the waist to the rim with the requisite firmness Hence arose the rims with a rigid waist and side pieces for keeping the specta cles in position. But they were heavy and clumsy, whether in tortoise Bhell or horn, ami the difficulty remained of making a reli able hinge iu bucIi brittle material. This seems to have brought into existence the heavy gold, silver and steel specta cles of our grandfathers. Jewelers Weekly. Clilimnieii Cliew Gum. Seated together in a Broadway car were live Chinamen, nil chewing gum It was evidently their first exerience with this deadly form of dissipation, bill they were enjoying it immeusely. They chewed and champed together and chat tered away in their native tongue in tho most animated fashion. The other passengers in the car were much interested, and watched the mis guided Chinamen intently. The Ah Sins were as oblivious to the other pas sengers ns if they wcro in the fantasy of an opium dream. By their gestures and gibberish they made it plain to the spectators that the) were discussing the deep mysteries of the slot machine from which they hail extracted tho gum. They also discussed the gum itself. They would hold it be tween their teeth, stretch it out until it would break, thrust it back into their months, chewing and chattering all thu time. A ministerial looking man sitting op posite made a gesture of disapproval to one of the Chinamen. A smile stole into the slant eyes of the Celestial as he stopped chewing long enough to remark: "Chinaman likee allee samo." New York Advertiher. She Didn't 1'ropoie to II I in.

She blushed vividly for a moment, then suddenly raised her head, looked him full in the face and said pointedly, "Yes, It Is true present company accepted!"

Mexican Poverty Extremely ricturesque to a Casual Observer. Chief among the many puzzling ques tions with which my childish mind whiled away the weary half hour of a Sundav moinmg sermon, was the existence of beggars iu Bible days. I pictured Pales tine to myself as a land of temples, tombs and gardens, inhabited by beggars and Pharisees. Born and reared in the pros perous west, poverty such as the scriptural tales dimly suggested was to me a thing as vague as the Hell of the same records, a fairy tale far more unreal than the sleep ing palace or the caves of Aladdin. Now, the puzzle is solved, I have seen poverty, I have been to Mexico, I understand Palestine. 1 can almost believe iu a horn ed Satan and lire and brimstone. To a casual observer Mexican poverty is extremely picturesque. It is not an imitation of respectability such as the hum blest American will attempt, but it is humanity m rags and nakedness, too often in sores, almost always in dirt. There, le;gii!g is a trade, the'occupation of all the poorer population. Beggars infest the ruilroud stations at the iutcnoi towns, and a motley array it is. They are of all sexes, conditiousandages, with and without sores, the lame, the halt, and the blind. Bubies in arms holding out dirty little hands for a "centavo," old women, young women, healthy little boys, crippled grandfathers all whining to the same tune iu their mongrel Spanish " for the love of God, Seuorita, give me a cent." Give them cents I I poured them out upon them. Never had a copper seemed of so much value. I luxuriated iu their delight. 1 bought out the porter, the newsdealer and the conductor to satisfy the want that never could be satis fied; for there is a friendly feeling among these unfortmmtes, and when thev find one who will give, they spread the' glad tidings among all their class, and indeed I suspected them of having discovered some peculiar way of telegraphing the in formation to the next station, so besieged was I for charity. Some tourists who had been in the country liefore endeavored to impress me with the .! tw I W33 cavwU.ofciuK idle ness, but who would not be idle when the sun was hot and water a luxury and even for labor, money was not forthcoming. They must live. To live they must eat, anil it seems to me that in the more deso late portion of the country, to eat, they must beg. Very picturesque were they seen from the car window in te soft gloom of the southern night, their dark eyes gleaming like stars under their quaint hat or still more primitive head dress, their white teeth glittering as the musical Spanish rippled forth in compliments calculated to appeul to the generosity of the seuorita who seemed to them a small sized Provi dence. In the cruel glare of the sun de fects became evident, and one saw the coarseness in the squalor and dirt, still never did they cease to be poetic. They harmonized so perfectly with the back ground of cloudless sky, antique build ings, and tropical verdure. There was a beauty even in their very ugliness which was plea for their existence and iu re membering the pleasantest journey of my life I shall always have a very tender recollection of the beggars of Mexico.
