The Story os 3 Ireeelet.

"Did you lose thiss'' inquired little
girl OF some strangers who were picnick-
Ing near Cypress Point, ON tho seventeen
mile drive out Of Monterey, as she held
up pretty gold bracelet. II was during
tho ChautauQuau assembly at Pacific
Grove, in 1857, that party was made
up of those who took part In the lectures
to enjoy the ride, which Is the great
feature Of visit to the Ancient City by
the Sea. To como to Monterey without
making tho trip would be on par with
person going to Saratoga and not
drinking at the mineral springs, or
spending q vacation mt Coney Island
without enjoying surf bath. In re-
sponse to tho child's question gentlc-
man stepped forward and took tho orna-
ment, which he discovered bore the name
Of ono Of the young ladies stopping at
description that II was presented
gagement at tho Haymarkct theatre,
Lordon. An inquiry as to whether any
thing had been lost brought q negative
reply, but tho gentleman, after giving
the child some slight reward, carefully
consigned tho bracelet to his pocket, re-
serving pleasant surprise for the even
ing, and oil were apprised Of tho fact
that something would occur;aftcr supper

Not So Bad as We Seem.

1t is true that In those earlier ages men
died for faith, principle, ideas; but SO do
they die for them In this age. Every
day throughout the world men are TAX
ing flying leaps to death because of their
fidelity to ideas. The poor switchman
that last week leaped ON the railroad
track I'm front Of the rapidly moving
train and flung two little children from
it, but met his own death under the mur-
derous wheels Of the ponderous machine,
died because of his idea Of duty. 1t was
not his duty to fling away his own life
for that of others, but he thought 1t was,
and he did it. Self sacrifice, unselfish-
ness of the highest and poblestj sort, Is
not of any particular age, but Of all ages.
The spirit Of compromise is the spirit Of
selfishness, and It Is not an exclusive
growth Of the present time.
Indeed, it would be difficult, II not i'm
possible, to find any other period Of the
worlds history in which the spirit Of
charity, Of good will toward men, was
more sentient or active than 1t Is today.
1t is not only In this country, but In all
countries, that benevolence flows In a
steady stream from the rich TO the poor.
We need but look about any great city
broad and deep the stream Of charity
flows. 1t Is epitomized in scores of in
stitutions kept alive at a most enormous
cost for the helping Of those who need
help; there are hospitals, homes, asy-
lums, refugees, schools numberless, which
all represent the worlds unselfishness,
its Iberality and charity. This age Is
not worse but better, than those which
went before ii, because there Is ever n
potent spirit abroad In it helping and
Improving 1t. Religion, education, social
usages, are all employed In shaping the
world 10 better ends, and they are doing
it effectually.-Philadelphia Telegraph.

A Veteran He'll Bov.

A character born on the main street Of
Charlottesville, and 90 years old, is Joseph
Owens, head bell man Of the Leland
hotel. Joe has been In the Leland FAM
lily for thirty-six years, and is one of
their most trusted and popular employees.
Joe started in as bell boy at the New
York Clarendon, and later on answered
the bell at the Metropolitan, in New
York. Fifteen years Of his bell boy
career were put In at the Delavan, in
Albany, but always under one or the
other OF the Lelands. Joe enjoyed the
palmiest of palmy periods during the
Tweed regime in New York, and was a
prime favorite with the monarch Of
"boodlers.". Owens, then comparatively
young, was also a great pet of Billy Fow-
Ter, Tom Fields, "Prince" Harry Genet,
and other members Of the big ring.
Those were great days for Joe. The
"gang" played poker for kingly stakes,
and the "rake off" for luck which Joe
received amounted at times to as high as
$500 in a single night. Joe thought 1t
would last forever, and, to use his own
language, "blew it all In" But it didn't.
Joe has been in Chicago for seven years.

Have you ever heard why the little
burg Of Upper Alton, Ills, has the nick
name OF Pie TOWN. 1t took that queer
namo in a very peculiar way. Along In
the summer Of 1864 number Of society
people from st. Louis were invited by
s0 sna spepa pa' % day in % social sports % Is The The
invitation was not without a reminder
to the guests to bring up supply Of
things for the inner man. When the
time for luncheon came, 1t developed the
fact that every person had brought a
goodly number OF pies, not a single per-
son having loaf Of bread. The party
made the best of tho impromptu dinner
without bread. At the close Of the pie
feast one Of the number suggested :" Pie
Town" as an appropriate nickname for
Upper Alton, and tho little village has
carried it ever since.-St. Louis Globe

Tho Scent Of B,ooahound..

Some people doubt tho possibility Of
dogs tracking q criminal through tho
streets and lanes and busy thoroughfares
OF a great city: They speak OF cross
scents; but In doing SO they speak Of what
they do not understand SO well as--the
bloodhound does. He has got the right
scent at the right place, and II he is the
right sort Of dog, he will stick to that
and no other. Besides, it has been done
over and over again. Whether TO the
has different scent Iknow not, but It
would really seem so, else how can tho
animal follow his man 80 directly, and
single him out among even q crowd OF
others at a public house bar or in the
bosom Of his unhappy family3-Cham-

and ten years later general Of cavalry.
When the Russo Turkish war came he
was placed In command of the army
operating In Armenia. Kars again was
taken, and Erzeroum shared the same
fate.
Then the plague broke out at vetli-
anka, q small village near the eastern
border Of European Russia. Melikoff
was sent there to flght the disease, and
by vigorous measures stayed its progress.
Hardly had this been effected when Gen.
Krapotkin, governor Of Kharkoff, was
stabbed by q Nihilist on leaving q ball
room, and MelikoR put in his place. At
this time the Nihilists began their efforts
to kill the car. Melikoff was made
chief Of o supreme executive commits

week later @ Jew Nihilkt attempted to
assassinate him by firing q pistol bullet
into his body, but the general had on
several thicknesses Of Undertaking,
which saved him from harm. He ex-

begged the emperor not to go out, but
the sun was shining brightly, and the
car was in excellent spirits. Melikoff
failed to induce him to remain in tho
palace. The car drove out in his car

cepted. He seemed high in favor with
the new sovereign. At ono time 1t was
believed that he had won over the young
car to permit him to carry out Alex
ander's ukase summoning q representa-
tive assembly, and for the constitution
Of a ministry, of which he was to have
been the head. The cars famous mani
festo, however, showed Melikod that he
signed. His resignation was accepted,
and he afterward lived in retirement.

SEEN AT A VISIT

The old altar is gorgeous mass Of
carving, gold, flowers, images and bril-
liant silk hangings.
Some of the pictures in the new church
are veritable curios. One is a water
color on silk representing the recovery
Of princess from evil spirits through
the prayers Of her husband, the lord Of
the realm. The heroine is sitting on
what seems to DO the sugar icing Of a
wedding cake, but is intended to be a
mass Of silvery clouds. On either side
ore good fairies. Below In the foreground
Is the prince pronouncing the magic
prayer, and at his side great magician,
who has mastered the secrets of the uni
verse. In the left background is the
royal retinue resplendent In jewels, satin
robes and armor, and In the middle back
ground long landscape broken with
fertile fields, rich blue rivers and queerly
tinted mountains. Another picture
worthy Of notice is picture Of life on
the upper Yang Tszee- -Kiang. It is
drawn In black upon brownish tinted
paper, and made realistic by the slight
use Of colors washed in here and there.
In the center Is the great river of China,
backed by precipices and curious vol
canic rocks. In the right foreground Is
a clump of trees growing partly on the
land and partly In the water. In the
boughs are huts constructed Of bamboo
poles, lashed together and thatched with
green palm leaves. Some Of the fishers
are busy In their aerial homes, while
others are hard at work in their little
boats and fishing RATS upon the river.
The costume Of the men is simple, though
curious. A pointed hat with vast brim,
q square cloak fastened at the neck,
which leaves the arms and chest per-
fectly free, and breech cloth used ex-
actly like a baby's diaper. The women
are bare headed OF wear similar hats, and
are clothed In what is very much like a
short Mother Hubbard. The removal OF
the old church was celebrated with ap-
propriate ceremonies. A roll of scarlet
cloth was stretched from each church
through the halls and stairways to the
sidewalk curb. The lamp Of immor
tality was lighted in the new house
Of worship, and Immediately thereafter
extinguished In tho old. Bowls Of hot

color. The ground
floor is devoted to business purposes, and
is already occupied by busy Mongolian
gamblers and tradesmen. The three
upper floors are so arranged as to be
utilizable for either living purposes or
business. They are all well built, well
lighted, plumbed and ventilated. Nearly
all are occupied, some and especially
those used as boarding houses being
0vercrowded with guests. One or two
Cinnamon here conceal their wives in
that strange way which marks the social
life Of the Orient. The rest live with
Caucasian wives, and in some instances
with Irish-American girls, who have a
seemingly inveterate antipathy to mar
riage ceremony.
The top floor o" the new building is
the new church. The Chinese cabinet
maker and architect who has charge OF
the place has planned tho floor into o
church and altar room, q sacristy and
council room. The church will employ
the furniture that has SO long been used
in the old place on Chatham square.
Besides this, 1t has been equipped with
great square ebony chairs and tables, in
laid with mother Of pearl and carved in
queer floral patterns. Tho new sacristy
will be larger and handsomer than the
old. In one corner is the bunk, q great
square platform, six feet by eight and
about two feet from the floor. Over
head is a canopy, the same size as tho
bed from whose sides hangs handsome
drapery rather than curtains. The walls
are decorated with scrolls, banners and
garlands of artificial flowers. Against
the wall is a great dining table, covered
with queer oilcloth and decorated with
gold bronze bowls, porcelain vases,
prayer images, tobacco boxes, the singli-
lar pipes known as hubble bubbles, and
teapots, cups and saucers.
