sound of her voice; it thrilled him
through and through.
Hubert, forgive me-" it cried. The
words came to him as an appeal from
the dead. Mona, once his, had been
dead to him now for SO long.
"My love, I do forgive you," he cried.
His love, for SO long driven underneath,
welled up again with increased
strength, and he would have clasped
her in his arms-those arms. in which
he would have given anything to have

"Your husband?" he asked.
'He is dead" she replied. HE died

WOMEN IN LATIN AMERICA.
Her Present Condition Strong Contrast to
That of Former Years.

Ihat OF FORMER Years.
Mexico has normal school for wom-
en- teachers in the city of Mexico, in
which free instruction in four years
course is given to students. The gov
ernment has also provided for the edu-
cation of women in a literary and scien
tific institute which has a high grade
of study. lyceum for women was
also founded in 1873, which takes up
subjects that are considered essential
TO the proper training of women. In
the school of arts there are many busy
students, from the young girl to
the women of mature years, all
of whom receive free instruc-
tion in such branches as printing,
book-binding, sewing, fancy work,
knitting, trimmings, fringes, making
cords and tassels. Piano and vocal
music are also taught. The Mexicans
bid fair to rival the United States as
well as Europe in educating their
daughters for that higher sphere for
which nature intended them.
In Nicaragua, the education of girls
has become quite popular, and in the
city of Granada there is college

A very large part of the educated

Aside from ignoble fears, there seems
scarcely any topic better suited to ex'

among men than this most funda

The public may accept the theory Of

the earth presents resistance to de-

Doorbells are pretty good indicators

not tell everything about you, from
the color of your eyes to your taste in
flowers, but to those who know the
signs the doorbell is as good as a title

Anyone who has had occasion to an

that method and somebody else, while
slight. will be sufficiently well marked.
1t is seldom that two rings are exactly
alike.
The housewife recognizes each-the
impatient man, who pulls the bell twice
in quick succession, and does not wait
long before trying it again; the one of
more phlegmatic temperament, whose
ring is slower and more substantial,
the hesitating woman who draws the
knob out in succession of nervous
jerks; the seedy individual with
matches to sell, who stretches the wire
carefully to its full length, and then
allow it to relax with a faint, apollo

lady, "but I'll put it like this; If had
a tame hare which escaped and you
caught it, and asked me if you might
chain it up-that's my name"
"Letitia Harrop." answered the
dreamer at once. Let ! tie a hare
up"
There was no pause for reflection in
the dream any more than in another
case. The dreamer, walking with a
friend, met an acquaintance of ovine
appearance, who saluted with curious
duck.
What queer bowl" said the com.
panion in the dream.
"Sheep-dip," answered the dreamer;

would have made when awake any

Victoria Snubbed the Duke.

The late Duke Ernest of Saxe-Coburg
and Gotha was on cold terms with his
relatives in England long before the
death of the prince consort. The duke
was offended because his brothers com
idential correspondents were the late
king of the Belgians and the late Emper-
or William instead of himself.
He was indefatigable In addressing
prolix dissertations upon political affairs
to Prince Albert, who had no disposition
to receive instruction either from his
elder brother or from any one else. The
duke expected to be regarded as the head
of the family and wished to play that
part de facto, but his attempts at inter
ference were d~exterously bafied by
Prince Albert, who at an earlier period
had succeeded, but not without difficulty
in putting a stop to the meddling Of
King Leopold, who had intended to act
as his nephew's Prospero.
When Prince Albert died, the duk,
fully expected that the queen woult

esty did not consult him about any

People have not been lavish IN their
purchases of shoes of late years. The
surplus of them is undoubtedly smaller
than usual, and yet the quantities dis
tributed throughout the country have
been sufficiently extensive to enable deal
ers thus far to meet all the require
ments of their customers by simply buy
ing a few stray lots here and there to
piece out assortments. The accumula.
tons are dwindling, however, day by
day because there are more shoes being
consumed than there are being manu-
featured.
When the clouds vanish from the COM
mercial horizon, as nobody doubts they
willard it does not look reasonable
they should obscure the prospect much
longer-there will be greatly enlarged
