She Thought Herself Beautiful.

The logged purpose Of the Russian was
eloGuently shown in the stesdfast lips Of
Marie BashkirtseH, and there was the sign
of her high, quick temper and impatience
of all restraint in the slightly inflated nos
trils.
Al idea Of her colorng4 and expression
can be best given by quoting some of her
own naive expressions:
MY hair is the color of gold. 1 am
white and pink, pretty as an ANCHOR as a
woman"
"Oh, my God, l feel that am beautiful.
II look like Beatrice di .Cenci"
my complexion looked absolutely daz-
zling, and so deiicate, sos soft,,the cheeks
scarcely rosy;, the only strong points of
color were the lips, the eyebrows and the
eyes" -

stood genius. flied with boundless ambi-

Pretty Girl. Raise a Church Fund.

The young ladies Of the Presbyterian
church at Msttituck, Long Island, held a
fair and earned quite alarEe sum Of money
for parish purposes the other night. The
chief attraction was a booth, the entrance
to which bore the sign, Admission FIVE
cents; to kiss the baby twenty-five cents. 1"
Investigation proved that the baby was
plural, and that its ages ranged from six
teen to nineteen years. Every nan pres
ent patronized the place from one 20 q
dozen times, and finally business at all the
other booths was suspended in order TO
give the lucrative kissing bee full swing
When the receipts of the fair were counted
the amount was found TO be 500. OF this
$50 had been taken in at the baby" tent.
The only painful feature of the enter
tainment was the fact thst several nioe
young men, whose best girls occupied
prominent Iositions IN the tent, made
disturbance when they heard about it. As
a consequence several promising Aaesi-

Soudan was that exhibited by the Able
Hue nearly half "a century ago, the only
difference being that the Able acted under
direct orders from Rome, while the Pres
byterian evangelists carried out their own
plans. At the command Of his superiors
be and Father CADET left the sea coast and
journeyed across China to Thibet, sur
mounting en- route, almost inoonceivable
perils, preaching thegospel fearlessly even
before the temple of the Grand Lama, and
returning after two years of unsurpassed
adventure and Suffering to Canton. Says
Able Hucjain closing his account Of the
journey toSand from the ocean:
I'm one Of the very first newspapers that
chance threw into our hands we read an
article that wethought rather curious. 1t
was as follows: I'VE have lately received
the intelligence of the lamentable death Of
the two fathers of the Mongol Tartar Mis-
sion.' After slight glance at the Tartar
countries the author of the article contin-
ues: "A French Lazarfsty OF the name of
Hue, took up his abode about three years
ago among some Chinese families, estab-
lished in the valley of Black Waters,
about 600 miles from the great wall. An
other Lazarist, whose name is not known
to us, Joined him with the purpose Of
forming a mission for the conversion of
the Mongol Buddhists. They studied the
Tartar language with the amas Of the
neighboring monasteries, and 1t appears
that having been regarded as foreign lamas
they were treated in friendly manner, es-
peciaily by the Buddh1sts, who are very
ignorant, and who took the Latin of their
breviaries for Sanscrit, which they do not
understand, but for which they have much
veneration. When the missionaries be-
hcved themselves s1fflGicntly instructed in
the language they proceeded into the int
rior with the intention of commencing the
work of conversion. After that period
very little was heard OF them until in May
last information was received that they had
been fastened to the tails Of wild horses
and dragged tc death. The immediate
cause of this event Is not yet known 1t
may well be imagined that this article
astonished us a little, and we thought
we had some reason to doubt it's perfect
accuracy"
May not a possibility exist that, like the
story regarding Hue, the story from Sierra
Leone is not true, and that the brave young
American missionaries have succumbed
neither TO the spears of the Arabs nor to
the insidious assaults Of disease9
But in any event the query still stares Us
in the face-What is courage1

The little sister, it is to be presumed,
has been there. since. she carries bunch
of roses, and she looks like a rosebud
herself, with her pretty white lace and
pink surah dress. Her cunning little
bonnet of surah has a ruffie of lace,
which makes her pretty dimpled face
look like half blown rose, and all three
belong to the garden of girls the poet
speaks of.
The styles for children are very plain
and very sensible, and they require but
little garniture. The palmer they are
the happier also are the little wearers,
for they can play, run and jump with
out restraint in the garments as now
made.
Sailor suits are just as popular as ever,
and vary little from those first invented
with the sole difference that they are
now frequently made in other oolors
than blue and white. Gray, brown, red
and even green and plum are all made
IN the style, which is sufficiently dis
tinctive to make it always sailor suit.
Boys and girls wear the same kind Of
dress when it is sailor" until the boy
leaves off his kits for the supreme Dig
nifty Of pantaloons, that ineffable pleas
ure that his unfortunate sister can never
attain.
But sisters can wear dainty and deli
cate little gowns made of pale green
China silk, Powered all over with beau
tiful buds and blossoms, with the entire
front Of futed China crepe, white as
snow, with the cunningest little rosettes
and aparasol to match-a real parasol.
Now a boy never carries parasol,
though he does sometimes get a rusty
and half worn umbrella that his pa
thinks not nice enough for himself, so
the girl after all has some few privi-
leges and crumbs of comfort, and she
has the sweet satisfaction of seeing her
little brother get red in the face and
swell up with angry tears when some
one calls him a girl before his mother
has brought herself TO the point of sac
rifce In cutting off his long curls.
For children there are really no dis
tinctive materials or fabrics. Little girls
wear tweed cheviot, cashmere, silk velu-
tina, plaids and pattern serges, and in
fact just what their mothers wear. In
deed sensible mothers now in buying a
gown get from half a yard to yard and
a half more material than it requires to
make one for themselves, and this, with
tic pieces always left over, makes dress
for her little daughter.
In thes days few ladies buy fimsy
material, so that after a mother has

sight Of an approaching creditor will cause
his bronzed cheek to blanch, and send him

would turn pale at the sight of blood, and

Yet these same persons-I have in mind

almost coincident ravages of the yellow
fever in the south years ago-did undaunt-

against che deadly climate. Perfect raaen
that their mission vould be blessed OF
heaven, and that iu'the service OF the Mac
ter food and raiment> snd health would be
theirs, was the only capisSl they took for
the years they hoped to spenH In the DARK
Continent.
SIT may be that nothing would skaI<e the
confidence Of these people in the efficacy OF
faith, but if they bad taken the least pains
to learn what the climate of tropical Africa
really is, and to profit by the experiences of
others, they would have known that every
white sojournet in Africa prizes the RENE
dies for warding off fever as more precious
far than gold. But these Jealous young
missionaries were not destined TO perish in
the bush, for disease laid them on beds OF
suffering before they got away from the
civilization Of Sierra Leone.
ct seems reasonable to diseredit the re-
port that three members Of the party have
been killed in the interior, because Mr..
Kingman, who is mentioned as one Of the
victims, was too i'll to go inland 1t may
possibly be true, however, and in that case
six members of this rashly undertaken ex-
petition have given their lives for naught.
1t is more likely, however, that the rumors
of a massacre have been evolved In some
way from the death of three of the mis-
sionaries at Sierra Leone"
But whether slain by Arabs or the VIC
tins Of disease, the friends of these ardent
missionaries have at least good reason to
claim that they showed unlimited courage.
