PROTESTANT NUNS. Work Tbstt Is Betas; Done by the Bisters of the Virgin Mary. The Sisterhood of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a Protes tant Episcopal order of nuns, has been granted letters of incorporation, according- to the New York World. Their home is at No. 149 Second avenue the House of the Holy Comforter. The in corporators are Rev. Dr. Maunsell Van Rensselaer, Frances Elizabeth Hunter, Rebecca Violante Sperling, Elizabeth Wayne Plume and Josephine Constance Celestine Lawrence. The order was formerly called the Sisters of the Visi tation. "The home is now crowded," said Mother Francesca the other day. "Fa voring Providence has enabled us, from time to time, to increase our usefulness, and we hope at an early day to have still another home established. We want to shelter boys and girls afflicted with incurable diseases, and are look ing about for a site for such a home. Wc have some money set aside for the purpose, but will need a great deal more. We are not deterred by the ab sence of funds, for kind friends always turn up with donations when we are sorest pressed. The current expenses for this Home for Indigent Protestant Women, afflicted incurably, is about five hundred dollars per month. At present we have temporarily aban doned the training class of young girls for our hospital service. We make no charge for admission or support of our patients, and there is no endow ment to aid us. Our maintenance de- HEADDRESS OF A NN. pends entirely on voluntary contribu tions. "There is no home for little incurables now, and those whom we hope at an early day to shelter are now sent to the island under those in charge of the workhouse. We are ambitious in the matter of relieving distress, in helping the poor and educating the young. We hope to have a home in the country, where in summer our patients can have the benefit of good air and a change of environment. "When we are able to resume our training school it will receive Protest ant girls between the ages of nine and fourteen, we retaining the care of them until they are eighteen years. They will get a thorough secular and reli gious education, together with proper training in domestic and useful duties." The home of the sisters is a large, roomy, old-fashioned residence. It has a modest sigrn beside the door, but noth ing else to distinguish it from neighboi ing houses. The interior is arranged with gTeat care and thought as to its uses. The dress of the nuns, strikingly like that of the Catholic orders, being black, with snow-white headdress, is looked on as a matter of fact now by a, number of subscribers who have not embraced high-church tenets. The appointments of the reception room and the general apartments are marked by simplicity, and a ritualist would be pleased at the frequency of crucifixes and other re ligious emblems. THE CRETAN LABYRINTH. A Recent Discovery Gives a Key to an Ancient Puzzle. The existence of a maze or labyrinth at Gnossus. Crete, is borne out by the legend of Theseus slaying the Minotaur in its heart by the help of Ariadne, who gave him a thread to pay out be hind him as a clew, in penetrating its recesses, and also by the fact that old coins of Crete exhibit the figure of a labyrinth. Some of the mazes of these coins are circular, others rectangular, but, according to the Philadelphia Record, the internal arrangement is the same in all, and consists of a round about path which leaves the traveler no DIAGRAM OF THE LABYRINTH OF CBETsfc choice of route or chance of error. Hence Richard Inwards has surmised that the device on the coins only shows the clew or key to the right path, and leaves out the wrong ones. By taking the maze as shown on the coins and treating the circular dividing walls as double, each containing a passage of the same width as the road shown on the coins, he obtains the genuine labyrinth, as seen in the accompanying figure, which is difficult to explore to the center even when seen at a glance on paper. The coin device is 6imply each alternate circle of this one. To give the key in brief avoid every alternate circle or path. Such a labyrinth helps us to understand how useful the col ored thread of Ariadne might be to Theseus, because on returning to any place he had passed he would find his own thread and be able to make a bet ter start next time. , ' HIGH-PRICEO FOOD. 1 Tobacco and Cold on m, Par on the Upper . Tnkon River, Alaska. K. D. Miles, a recent visitor in San Francisco, gives the Call a graphic ac count of the prices current for ordinary commodities on the upper Yukon river, Alaska. He has, according to the Call, just re turned from that country, where, he states, there were over one hundred men at work during the last summer washing gold from the river bars and rifts. The majority of them will winter in that country. "Well, I'll tell you, I am glad to get back ' to civilization again," he said. "Gold is plentiful; in fact it is an ordi nary trick for a man to wash out from twenty to sixty dollars a day, but a man needs all that to live anyway com fortable in that country, and he has but little to show - after a season of hard work. "When I left that country a trader with a small stock of goods was making his way up the river from some of the coast trading points in a canoe. In fact he had several of them loaded with provisions. He was assisted in his jour ney by half, a dozen Indians. "Well, when he left, after selling out his cargoes, he had about all the gold dust the miners had washed out in four or five months of steady work. "We ran short of provisions, and had subsisted on bear meat and other game so long that we willingly parted with nearly all we had to get some civilized eatables. . . "Well, this trader his name was Em mons sold the several sacks cf spuds he had with him at the rate of from thirty to fifty cents per potato. "Jiis llour sola lor twenty dollars a sack, and we were just glad enough to pay five dollars a pound for the very poorest quality of tea he had with him. "He had several sides of bacon in his stock, which he disposed of at about one dollar a slice. A few sacks of the despised bean brought one dollar a pound. ' "We had been out of tobacco for near ly two months, and had drawn but lit tle solace out of pipefuls of dried leaves and moss. When this fellow appeared on the scene we took him to our hearts as a benefactor and gave him ounces of gold for plugs of tobacco. An ounce of gold brings sixteen dollars in Alaska and nineteen dollars at the mint here. " We bought a hundredweight of on ions, lor wnicn we were assessed six ounces of gold. "I tell you what, we poured out the dust upon that fellow Emmons, and he had so much of it I don't think I would like to take the contract to pack it from here to the city halL rou must not tmnk from this ap palling price list that we were starving to death. We had plenty of game and fish, but that kind of grub palls on the appetite. The "boys," however, appear to have made money on the Yukon river bars. Mr. Miles states that all of them have i "stakes," and he came down to Victoria . with several of them who had "cleaned up" from twelve thousand dollars to I twenty-eight thousand dollars apiece. j . . 8,828,67a. . These figures represent the number of bottles of Dr. King's New Discovery for consumption, coughs and colds, which were sold in the United States from March, '91 to March, '92.

A Pest of Squirrels. Squirrels are plentiful and destructive in some parts of the state of Washing ton. Linden county paid out forty thousand dollars in bounties on squir rel scalps last year, yet but little good effect was produced. It is proposed to tax all the lands in the county to raise funds to fight the pest and so make railroads and nonresident owners help "The people of this vicinity insist on having Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and do not want any other," says John V- Bishop, of Portland Mills, Indiana. That is right. They know it to be su perior to any other for colds, and as a preventive and cure for croup, and why should they not insist upon having it. 50 cent bottles for sale by Blakeley & Houghton, druggists.
