AROUND THE WORLD.

Travels of Miss Ackerman Among
the Strange Peoples OF the
Globe.
Yesterday afternoon at the charming
home on the corner of Laurel avenue
aud Arundel street Mrs. Pascal Smith
gave a reception for Miss Jessie Acker-
man. the great Oriental traveller. The
rooms were very prettily decorated with
flowers out of Mrs. Smiths own garden,
and golden rod, the dining room being
decked entirely with Minnesota's EN-
blem. The simplicity of the decorations
made them all the more appreciated.
The young ladies who poured tea were
the Misses Guthrie and kiDble, of st.
Paul, aud Miss Cannon, of Akron, Wis.
Miss Ackerman gave the ladies who
came to meet her little talk on her
travels, her object in taking these long
Journeys, and what she accomplished.
She said: The first place l stopped at
was the Sandwich Islands, where / was
received by King Kalakaua. From here
went on to New Zealand and Tas-
mania, and other islands of the Pacific.
then hurried on to Japan, China and
India. In these countries | spent many
months, and visited the king of Siam,
as we'll as the sultan of lahore. [ was
received by the people of Burman,
Kashmere and Afghanistan. | went
through the dangerous Kbybu pass
under an escort of troops provided to
protect me by the king. l essayed all
modes of iocumotion known to men-
camels, bullocks, launches, ocean steam
erS, tongas, and. in fact, everything
that could be got to sail or paddle OF
push me through the country"
Her object in taking these long. dam
gerous and laboriouS trips was to dis
cover what the needs of women in these
countries really are, and she says
that, while she is thankful that
there are some women who will go out
and help to elevate these degraded
creatures, she is convinced that the bet
ter way is to educate some of their own
girls and women, who are better fitted
physically to stand the hard work (as
we'll as the climate) that it is necessary
TO do in order TO attain any
permanent results. She made an
appeal to the ladies of the
Twin Cities to assist in the work of
training and educating these girls in
any way that they felt they could. Her
remarks were listened to by large
number of the ladies of the city, among
whom were Mesdames >. r. Alexander,
