by Mrs. Lucy Rider Meyer. The New York
Home completed its second year of exist
ence May IS. 1891. 1t was the Rev. Theo-
d0re Flildner, a Lutheran minister In Ger

organization of Deaconesses for charitable
work In England it has been very sue
ceSsfully carried out and in the United
States there is every promise OF lis meeting
with equal favor. For Jesus Sake" is tae
motto of the DeacOnesses. No vows are
eXacted, and any one Of their number is at
liberty 10 relinquish her Office as Dea-
cOness at any time. The duties are to
minister TO the poor, visit the sick, pray
with the dying, comfort the sorrowing,
and relinquishing wholly all other pur-
suits, to devote themselves to such form
of Christian labor as may be suited to
their ability. When working singly each
DeacOness is under the direction of the pas

superintendent in charge. A Deaconess
who was taking to poor woman some pro-
visions entered by mistake the wrong door
of tenement-house aud found herself in a
room where marks Of poverty were very
apparent On a bed lay woman whose
appearance was repulsiye; by her side was
whisky. The DeacOness spoke words of
comfort and began to read from the Bible.
The woman interrupted her, saying, II
know how to read, SO you needn't bother"
Closing the book the Deaconess said. II
will pray for you." and proceeded to
do so. On rising from her knees
she was surprised to see the woman
crying, who said. amidst her tears. ON. it

LOYAL BRITONS
HEARTY WELCOME.
Prince Albert Victor and his Coming
Bride.
Cheers for the Happy Couple-Everybody De.
lighted, Including Queen Victoria.
Sketch of the Lovers

The topic in aristocratic circles is the en-
gagement of Prince Albert Victor to Prn-
cess Victoria Mary of Teck, says London
special to tine New York Sun. On all sides
the utmost satisfaction is expressed, and
there is no doubt that the match is love
affair to far greater extent than the ma
jorty of royal marriages.
Albert Victor would meet his promised
bride at the railway station, and the result
was that an immense crowd gathered in
and about st. Pancras Station. where the
trains from Luton arrive, eagerly anxious
to see the young betrothed couple together.
When the train rolled into the station the
Prince was in waiting, and he calamity
handed Princess Victoria Mary from the
railway carriage and escorted her to an open
carriage.
AS the royal party made their appearance
the loyal Britons fairly went Wild with ex-
element. Cheer upon cheer arose, and the
crowd fairly outdid themselves in their eff
forts to impress the Prince and Princess
with their love and loyalty.
Princess Victoria Mary or to give her her
full name Princess Victoria Mary Augusta
Louise Olga Pauline Claudine Agnes, is the
only daughter of his Highness Franz Louise
Paul Alexander, DIXIE of Teck. G. c. B.,
and her Royal Highness Mary Adelaide
Wilhelmina Elizabeth, Duchess of Teck
and cousin of the Queen. She was born
May &c, 1867, and is therefore "a years old.
She has three brothers, one of whom is a
Lieutenant in the Seventeenth Lancers.

Talk of Race Between Leahy and Nc
Lean.
There is scarcely anything of Importance
to chronicle in tile way of rowing. Hanlan
has not taken his departure for Toronto
yet. He may probably give an exhibition
OF his rowing abilities before the residents
of Coronado before his journey across the
continent. Dan Leahy says that he would
be willing to give Mclean of New West
minister race after the holidays Mclean
will in all probability agree to give Leahy
dash.
The Sydney On. S. W. Herald of Novem-
Der I'd says: A match between James Stan
bury aud Sullivan of New Zealand for the
sculilng championship of the world will
probably be arranged in a couple of weeks.
Stanbury wants the match made for $500
side, but TO this the Sullivan party will not
agree, Zoo, they say, being quite sufficient
The difference, it is believed, will be salts
factorily arranged. Sullivan is at present
in New Zealand, where he will remain until
match Is made. There has been some talk
Of Stanbury visiting the United States. If
the champion sculler should take such a trip
he would not leave the colony till March at
the earliest.

28ih, between W. G. East of Putncy and
George Perkins of Newcastle was rowed in
fine weather and on smooth water The
betting was 10 on East and at these
figures very little money changed hands.
The contest is described as follows:
The men got away on even terms and sculled
at top speed, keeping well together for The FIRST
quarter OF mile. East pulled the stronger, and
got length ahead at Skinner Burn. Perkins
caught a cab here and nearly capsiZed but re-
covered himself In time. East, however. had
him settled. as lie still further increased his ad-
vantage, passing under Redhugh bridge. a mile
from The start. fully three lengths in front. Per-
kins thus early showed signs of distress AL the
Shol-tower lie had dropped another length be-
nind, aud at the new quay corner was five
lengths aStern. East took matters cooily, yet
managed without apparent effort 10 still further
draw away from Perkins, as at Dunn-sti eet
gingway lie was no fewer than ten lengths
ahead. Perkins was then blowing hard and
rolling about IN his boat, quite unable to get any
power into his strokes. BY the time half The
course was covered East was seen TO be fully
fifteen lengths In front and rowing within him
self. The last mile was uneXciting, and East
eventually passed under the ScOtswood bridge

LIKE THE LEOPARD BOY,
Florence Amounted His Face With Shell
Lac to X cen AWAY RIacl. Ella

hnolnted ace '" ith Shell
lac to Keep Away Black Flies.
One of the best stories of the late William
j. Florence was told by that ever genial
gentleman himself
In company with Joseph Jefferson.
Charles W. Couldock and number of other
congenial spirits he was spending several
weeks of the the salmon-fishing season un-
der canvas on the banks Of the Miramichi.
Fish were scarce, but the crop of black flies
was large and imposing. On favorable
days they came into camp and literally
raded it. There was nothing tn do but take
to the woods and envelope ones self in the
sitting vapors of "smoke," which is a
small fire built of damp leaves and finder.
The bite of the black fly is something that
haunts ones memory. 1t isn't felt while
the insect is getting in bis work, but the
following day its scene Of operations is
marked by n swelling resembling door
knob. TO keep off this winged pirate dur
ing sleeping hours. the party anonted its
several countenanccs with an ointment that
smelled unto Heaven and answered its pur-
pose admirably.
One evening Florence's supply of this
convenience ran out, and he turned in with
out taking any precautionary steps against
the gentle black fly. Within the next two
i. hours several thousand of them casually
I dropped in and made things warm for the
comedian. He stood it as long as he could
arose. stole down to the shore and began to
hunt through the beached canoes in the hope
that forgotten bottle of ointment might be
lying around among them. The night
was very dark and the search was
laborinus one. Finally his hands
closed upon one of the long-sought
bottles. The cork was ont in minute, and
after thoroughly covering his face, neck and
shoulders with the contents the comedian
stole back to his tent. Just as he dozed
away 1t dawned upon him that the Odor of
that fly preventive wasn't just what it used
to be.
The next morning, when Florence came
forth to breakfast, there was a shout from
the assembled campers that made the tent
poles rattle.
He was a perfect reproduction of that
museum freak known as the Leopard Boy,
and when they showed him his face in the
only mirror in camp he joined In the bowls.
One of the guides had filled an old ONT
ment bottle with nice new shellac varnish.
used in repairing the canoes. and Florence
had lighted on it.
Charley Coudock," he would say in con-
Guiding. tried to make me look like q
Christian again by rubbing off that varnish
with handfuls of sand, but the sand simply
stuck In the varnish. and, do you know, sir,
for the next two weeks you could strike a
match on any part of my face"

valley a writer says that he has seen
grizzly bear skin which was pierced with
two holes, one in the shoulder where the
bullet had entered, and the other in the
opposite side, near the hip, where the mis-
s,le had passed out. One shot had killed
4o-6O-3OO rifle, solid ball. In reference TO the
loading of rifles for big game hs says:
In these days OF heavy charges, such as the
.4o-S2. 1880 and even larger, We are liable to
mink Of 60 grains as a mere squib" but If lliis
shot proves nothing else IL proves to my salts
faction at least, that 60 grains OF powder will
give all The satisfaction necessary for any game
found on our continent. To those who, like the
writer do not relish the "back action of larger
charges. yet want cartridge powerful enough
Tor anything. let ma suggest that they try the
.40-65-260 grains, but use a hollow pointed bull
lei about 245 grains. The advantages OF such a
charge are many. The bullet will mushroom
and SO answer much better than a larger solid
ball; there is much less fouling In rapid firing
than with heavier charges, therefore greater
accuracy; the recoll is not unpleasant, and the
cartridges are light. All points OF interest 10 the
practical man.
1t Is astonishing the number of birds
Killed yearly by flying against lighthouses.
A New ork Journal says that tine number
recently reported at the Barthnldi statue in
New York Harbor for 1891 is $50. The glass
around the lights Is usually very thick, but
Wild ducks fly with such velocity as to
break 1t, even with a wire network placed
outside. Some kinds of ducks are cSti-
mated to fly at from 100 to 40 miles an hour,
bills clear down their thrOats. Windy,
cloudy nights are said to be the worst time
for the birds. October 2Sth was such time,
and seventy-five birds were reported killed
at one lighthouse in New York Harbor.
Many more are killed during the fall than
spring migrations. Many and varied kinds
are among the victims, ducks, Of course,
forming no small part.

It's Origin Is Clouded In the Mists of tn,

It's Origin Is Clouded In the Mists of the
Past.
The origin Of the tug-of- war is clouded in
the mists of the past. The popular idea
has been that it originated with the Greeks,
and Nathaniel Lees Oft-used expression,
when Greek meets Greek, then comes the
tug of war;" has always been accepted with
out questioning. These lines must have
been inspired by false hypothesis, or else
the author TOOK advantage of the liberties
of poetic license. Nathaniel lived and wrote
about 1866. and. as there is no absolute
record OF tug-of- war until fifty years later,
it could hardly have been handed down
from the Inhabitants of Golden Hellas,
through whose patrlcian veins athletic blood
cOursed. TIE tug was doubtless known 10
Nathaniel's time, but the first record of
COM etitiOn is one between two boat crews
of his Majesty's brig of-war Titania, con-
tested in the navy-yard at Portsmouth. En-
gland.
An old writer, evidently an admirer of
the sport, wakes enthusiastic over the re-
suit: when with long pull all together
the boatswain's team drew the captain of
the marines and his men first 10 their feet
and then along on their stomachs, nor ceased
until they had all let go of the rope and sur
rendered Internationally" 1t is not hard
to believe that the sport originated in the
navy. Its character would indicate that it
did.
But, be the origin.of the tug what it may,
the sport, once established, rapidly gained
favor, particularly with colleges and uni
versiiies, and the entire history of amateur
athletics in institution. of learning particu-
larry throughout England, ireland, Scot
land, America and Canada, is full of bright
pages of great deeds of strength and endur-
ance demonstrated in the tug.
