A Remarkable Grave.

Mr.. Thomas Stevens, in his book
Through Russia on Mustang" describes
q visit to convent cemetery in st. Peters
burg. He writes: 1.-THE weirdest thing in
the cemetery was grave that is simply a
glass house, containing a vault or cellar
with trapdoor and steps leading down
into it. The sister told us its story. After
twenty years of married life, during which
their prayers for offspring had been unan.
swered, couple were finally presented
with a daughter in 1873 Three years later
the newcomer died.
'The unhappy parents had the body en-
balmed and placed in coffin, with glass
opening above the face. The tomb in ques-
ton was built and the coffin deposited in
the crypt. Every day for fourteen years
past the mother had visited the house, de
scended through the trap door and spent
some time looking into the face Of the lit
tie one through the glass. No change had
taken place in its appearance ssscs
'This last item was told us with ring Of
honest pride in her voice, - indicating the
peculiar fitness Of the convent cenetery q

LETTYiS GLOBE.


When Lefty had scarce passed her third glad
year,
And her young, artlceS words began to flow
One day we gave the child IA colOred sphere
OF the wide earth that she might mark and
know .@ SIl
By tint and outline all its sea aud land
She patted all the world: od empires peeped
Between her baby fingers; her soft hand
Was welcome at all frontiers; how she leaped
And laughed and prattled in her pride Of blissl
But when we turned her sweet, unlearned eye
On our own isle she raised joyous cry:
"Oh, yesl see it-Letty's home is therel"
And while she hid all England with kiss
Bright over Europe fell her golden hair.

MORE DRESS REFORM.

AS at the Chautauqua convention of a
year ago, the ladies who have assembled
this year at that famous spot are alb
sorbed in the question of dress reform.
They sare, if anything, more ardently
radical than ever. One earnest reformer
made long address denouncing half
the articles of the feminine wardrobe.
She attacked heavy skirts, corsets, tight
dresses, collars and high-heeied boots.
She also denounced fripperies and super
huous ornamentations. What the sex
needs, she explained, is Il light costume,
simple and plain, and 90 perfectly hy-
gienic that diseases might be cured
simply by wearing one, as man wears
a liver pad. She said, however, that
her ideal gown is durable as adamant.
We Judge from her remarks that before
the gown would be worn out it would
wear the wearer out.
All this and much more to the same
effect produced an obvious sensation
among the lady attendants and in
Vulnerable harsh things were said about
the styles now prevailing. There is no
real reason for doubling that the pro-
mulgator of the new dress speaks truth
fully of its many merits. But she does
not tell us that this highly sanitary
gown looks either stylish or pretty or
winsome. Therein her cause is weak
and her arguments fall to the ground.
Reformed dresses may be good things,
but they are useless unless somebody
will wear them. And what woman pro-
poses to make herself Il fright for re-
FORMS sake.

The hot-tempered little republic on
the western coast of South America has
acknowledged the error of her itnperious
ways and come up with pecuniary re-
pentance for them. A substantial in
demnity has been paid both to the fam
lies of the two seamen of the Baltimore
killed at Valparaiso and to the other
sailors who were MANNED by enraged
Chileans. There is difference, of
course, between involuntary or reluctant
reparation and spontaneous remorse.
But we prefer to give Chile the benefit
of the doubt and believe that her spasm
of pugnacity has given way to calm
Judgment and sentiment OF reform.
IF, as we hope, this is the end of the
''episode,' Chile ought to know that
her big northern neighbor is not loath
to make up and be friends again. The
South Americans have certainly shown
themselves to be beautifully spunky If
they do make errors of judgment.
Therefore let the apology be accepted
with good feeling all around.
