 eaoh-er-limb of your apparel, their presence In the morning casts gloom over the entire programme. And last year new kind of fly had registered and taken rooms. He took a great deal of room, too. He was about as large as dog with wings, 1t you ever weighed that kind of dog. He--the fiy-does not bite. He only flies against you and knocks you down. I used to think he did this intention. ally. but became convinced that his steering apparatus is out of orSler, and he can't help 1t. He seems to be load ed too much by the head, and so steers wildly. think, perhaps, he has shift ed his ballast. When pursuing him with club, have seen him fly against the side of the mountain. 1t may be an escaped chapter from "Na- ture's Serial Story" We wouldn't have minded this fly So very much, only he was a sluggish kind of a brute, and when he lights upon you as you are climbing hill, you feel as though you had two- year old boy on your back.
 There Is one thing about camping that wip make you think you are not very far from heaven. The birds. There seemed to be q limitless variety of note and plumage near our camp. Plain, home keeping birds In raiment of quiet browns or soft grays, and birds as brilliant as living blossoms. Birds that sang and sang from day light to sunset, melodious concert, and birds that had just whistle enough to show what they could do had their voice more compass. There was ono little fellow who could only whistle one note, and he toothed 1t in quarter notes, four to measure, all day long, Sometimes we heard him in the night trying his whistle as though he feared he might have forgotten the pitch. But he never lost 1t; he hit 1t every time. There was an old night hawk, who joined the concert after dusk, with croak that sounded as dismal as a growing pain. But he didn't mean anything. As there wasn't a cat, dog or gun about the camp, the birds were as tame as chickens, and hoppe,l close mp to the dining tent for some- thing to eat, when we left them any thing, which wasn't often. And there wasn't one solitary, miserable, fight. ing, squawking, beastly little scavenger of an English sparrow In all that bird blessed land. Nothing but real birds. I-ETchdnge.

A Hindu Widow in America.


 From sssocietiea for Christian Work" in "Weman."
 It ia an unprecedented and most significant fact that America has been able to welcome Hindu widow, A high. caste BrAhmin woman, woman 90 learned in tho wisdom of the an- clients as to have gained in her own country the honorable title of Saras- cati. That a woman of India is eiu- cated at all Is a marvel; but wonder is added to wonder when she travels alone across oceans and continents, for the sake of emancipating her sisters still in the bondage of petty laws and restrictions. Unless she be the mother of sons, woman has no place In this world or the next, but Is \ burden aud an outcast, in by far the larger num- Dor of homes, should an unfortunate maiden he mArried--or even only be- trothed--whlle still hardly more than an infant, and the perhaps an old man--dic, she Is widow for litc 1 Devoid of all that makes existence at. traotive, the slave ot the household, half-starvesl, and the recipient oi blows and abusive language. Is it any wonder that ot the many mill Ions of widows In India. hundreds preter suicide or shamep From such scenes of misery comes the Pundita Ramahai SarasvAti, exhibiting ia her own lie the wonderful phenomenon of an educated, independent Hindu widow. To briefly sketch her lite is to do injustice to the careful history given by Dean Rachel Bodiey, in the introduction to the Pundita's book, "The High-CAste Hindu Woman" wherein Is most simply, most elo. Qucntly told the story ot the dcep suffering, the great possibilities of her oountrywomen. RsmabAi owes her own intellectual acumen and remark able learning to tho advanced theories of education held by her father, a Marathi priest. He married, for his second wife, lovely girl of nine years of age. whom hc carefully in- structed, being obliged to seek home in tho forest to avoid the hind rance and annoyance of his moro nar- row minded friends and relatives. In such seclusion was RamabAi born, and from such thoroughly earnest parents did she learn what no Hindu woman had ever before attained. Her gentle mother taught her thousands of sans krit verses, from their truly great poets, in the early dawn preceding busy days of hard work. Her father did her the further kindness Of allow ing her to remain unmarrled--a won- derful privilege and advantage to the little girl. At sixteen, RAmabai was an orphan, alone with an older brother, with whom she travelled through India, featuring and teaching her great evangel. that Hindu women may and shall have the opportunities IAvished upon those in other coun. tries. It was daring, but the brave woman won all hearts, English and native alike, compelling admiration and respect by her true character, hcr pure womanllness, and her remarks. ble talent.

SurvIvais of the Past.
serihner.a Mararlna.

The traveller k often rudely shocked by the contrast between the reality of the present and tho ideal picture of the ancient Arcadian life of the rural districts or the intellectual and ar- tistic life of Athens. But doubtless if we could be transported back to ancient Greece, we should find much that would not please us in the daily life of the people. Men may say, "Tis Greece, but living Greece no morc;" 1t Is still an enchanted land for me. No other civilized country withdraws the visitor 90 far from the ordinary routine of the present no other land affords % many sugges- tions of the lie of the ancleuts from whom our civilization comes. am sure that understand Greek art bet ter because of my life for few weeks under the Athenian sky. A few days in Pcloponnesus, and a few more in central Greece, give me cicarcr com- prehension of Greek political history. The Homeric age seems moro of re- ality after . study of the ruins of i'ryns hnu Myc6n6. Inc pAstOraIs of Theocritus have new lie and meaning when the traveller hears the shepherds pipe and rustic singers vic in amoebean strains, while he eats bread and milk from the wooden bowls which his hosts have carved.
 A few of the ancient customs sur vive. The lover of Homer is de- lighted to find that the Greeks still throw back the head to express dis sent or refusal, and that the trim maid still p0Ufs water OH ths visitoY's hands. Some old supcTstitions have re- mained, notably that of telling . dis. turbing dream to the rising sun In order that the threatened iIl may be sverted. No land is more thickly peopled with fairies and every kind Of benevolent and malignant spirits, than the Greece of to-day. DoubtIess many of the ecclesiastical customs of the present have been moulded by the expectations of the past. From LfTe and TyaDel fa' Modern Greece" Ly Thomas D. Seymour.

Yellowstone National Park, Pacific
 Coast and Alaska.


 Coast and Alaska.
 The Yellowstone Park is unques- tionably attracting more attention at the present time as tourist resort than any other place on the face of the earth. This spot is reached by rail only by the Northern Pacific rail- road, the famous dining car line to the Pacific coast, the only one of the trans- continental lines running dining cars of any description whatever. A book ticket will be sold at the eastern ter minals of the Northern Pacific for Si10.00, including rail and stage t-.ns- portation, meals on dining cars, Pull man, and five days accommodations south of Livingston in the park.
 The Alaska tour is also one that Is attracting wide attention. The rates and facilities offered for making this trip are better Uid the Northern Pa- cific railroad than by any other line. The attractions offered en route rid the Northern Pacific, such as the ride through the Lake Park region of Min- nesota, by the great wheat fields of Dakota, along the Yellowstone river and Clark's fork of the Columbia, through the famous Spokane Falls re- zion, over the Cascade range, by the Palisades of the Columbia, Puget Sound. etc.. together with the supe- rior accommodations offered, make 6 trip rid this route especially epjoya- ble. By writing Chas. s. Fee, gen. eral passenger agent, N. F. R.

 "Wall, what if we had?" asked the leader.
 About year ago I found him in jail in B.. He had been there for several months. He was sick and out of money, and aided him. Here's his name in my note book. See?"
 The man with the gun lowered his weapon and came closer and asked:
 "Was anybody else in jail with Joe?"
