Villages of New England.
Business is business" il is some
times said; but in rural districts,
where the merchant knows all his GUS
toners and all his customers relations,
bargaining and sociability are not kept
very strictly apart. When a good
woman goes down to the store she
counts on bringing home not merely a
piece OF calico or bit of ribbon, but a
few items of neighborly news.

C. L. Huntington, the railway

There is in New York no more
tireless theater-goer than Colonel Bob
Ingersoll. 1t is said that he has seen

There is young married lady in

She has no fear of these reptiles. and
will capture with her hands any snake
that she finds in the woods, and has
tanned several of them for pets. Once
she captured large snake that seized
her hand. This lady did not expert
erce any trouble from its fangs and
continued her sport of capturing them
She seems to have a strange power
over reptiles, and it is seldom that
they offer any resistance.

Helen Chambers, the daughter of
the noted Scotch divine, lives in Edin-
burgh, in one of the lowest sections Of
the city. Her home consists of few
rooms in an alley. The drunkenness,
poverty and suffering of men and

she goes out into the lanes of the city
with her lantern to light her way be-
fore her. and she never returns to her
quarters without one or more girls or
women she has taken from the street.
These people love her. and she is
