Miss Marsden's Ride to the Leper
Reservation.
all she could for them that any thought
of sacrifice on her part never suggested
itself to her. Nothing but the most
Christlike and beautiful religion could
have taken her through the privations
she endured and brought her back to
England sane and well. Such indomita-
BILE courage that leans on God for sup.
port, such self-sacrifce that is an in
spiration from on high, are the fruits
of a truly religious character.
She Interviews Queen Victoria.
Her mind once made UP, She solicited
an interview with Queen Victoria,
which was granted The queen was
so pleased with her and was so in IA
vor Of her project that she in turn in
terested the princess of Wales, who i'm
mediately wrote her sister, the empress
Of Russia, who responded at once, ex-
pressing great pleasure that she could
be Of any use and doing everything in
her power to assist. It was owing to
her efforts that Miss Marsden secured
written recommendations to all the au-
thOrities and officers Of the country.
She left England for Siberia the latter
part of 1890. When she reached ST.
Petersburg the empress of Russia gave
her a reception, and upon leaving pre-
sented her with a large sum Of money
to be used at her discretion.
What the local authorities failed to
accomplish in siXty-six years she eff
fected in year and half. There is
tone of sensationalism that runs
through Kernan's experiences in ST.
IBERIA, making one a little doubtful in
regard to the hardships endured. The
element of truth which predominates
in all that Kate Marsden has had to
say of dangers passed through leaves
no room for doubt that what she suf-
fered far surpassed anything expert
enced by him. She left Moscow for.
Siberia the first of February, 1891, her
objective point being Jakutsk, the ex-
IRENE province of Eastern Siberia.
She left the train at Slatust. and from
there had to travel by sledge. She
wore a peculiar costume Of furs, fan
nelS and boots, and was so thoroughly
wrapped up as to be most uncomforta-
BILE. She was on these sledges for
months, travelling thousands of miles.
And then for a long time she used the
tarrantas wagons. The trip seemed

Wrestling the Bull.

Lawyer Bunker Of sworth, Maine.
recently had an unprecedented con-
test with an angry bull on the Han
cock county fair grounds at that
place. He seized the angry beast
by the horns, and, after an exciting
tussle, actually succeeded in down
ing the bull. Since then the young
farmers of the county have been
practicing this hazardous wrestling,
and most any average-sized man will
now boast of his ability to upset any
bull in the country. Competitive
challenges have been the natural out
come, and Bucksport has just issued
defiance to Ellsworth to match it's

The day following they set out for
the plantatlon-the colonel, Major
| Meaney and Miss Katharine.
The bungalow was built close to a
palm thicket, and the colonel was
given an end room, the windows of
which, protected only by mosquito
netting, overlooked this grove.
The front corner room was occupied
by Katharine Meaney, and as all were
weary from their days journey over
the rough roaus, they retired early.
There was a full moon, and the col
onel, arrayed only in his pajamas,
seated himself at the window to
smoke cheroot before retiring.
His feet were elevated on the low
sill, and he was gazing dreamily out
toward the palm grove, when there
was an almost inaudible rustic OF
leaves among some low shrubbery
which grew close to the bungalow,
and looking sharply in that direction,
he saw little gray brown paw very
cautiously putting aside the twigs.
Behind the paw he could discern
two small green eyes attentively re.

visited the different groups of lepers,
helping and consoling them with prom
ises OF lasting assistance. The heart
rending scenes that she daily witnessed
made her all the more determined to
leave no stone unturned in lettering
the lot of these unfortunates. She
consulted with the officials, who accom-
panied her, in regard to the best loca-
ton for her future colony which should
comprise cottages, hospitals, etc., and
was so enthusiastic in all that she did
as to awaken the greatest confidence
wherever she went.
The lepers had lost all confidence
in mankind, owing to the unsuccess-
full attempts made by the local gov
ernments Of Eastern Siberia to allevi-
ate their condition. The only assist
ance they had was given them by one
of the men from the village who Wis
tied their locality once or twice week.

his presence known by loud cries,

the most unwholesome food and

for use. Some Of them had a cow,

them from starvation while waiting
for these supplies. OF course, the mes

Foolscap Paper.

''Foolscap paper" has a curious
origin. It is said that this designa-
tion is derived from the fact that
Charles I. granted to certain parties
mon opoly of the manufacture of
paper, and every sheet bore in water
marks the royal arms. But the par
lament under Cromwell made jests
Of this in every conceivable manner
and ordered the royal arms to be re-
moved and the FOOLS cap and bells
to be substituted. Of course these
were reversed after the restoration
but the paper of the size of the par
lament journals always retained the

In this age of untiring struggle and
strife for the qualification and accom-
plishment of all that which centers in
supreme selfshness, it is refreshing to
come across an instance where these
conditions are totally reversed. The
sublime unselfshness of Kate Marsden
is the nearest approach to divinity
which the world has ever witnessed.

Poverty the Cause OF Leprosy.
1t is said that the want of nourish-

is the cause Of leprosy in this region.
And the inhabitants Of Jakutsk, even if
they We're SO inclined, are too poor
to render any assistance to the
lepers. But it seems too horrible to
think Of, this driving them away from

His name Is Harry r. Linn, aud the
letter was handed to Attorney Harry G..

and as most OF the bills were barely

collected bill from one physician who
made up his mind to deal with other
nrms hereafter. lie next struck young
Or. q, who protested so vigorously In
very emphatic language that Harry en-
tered suit. He next presented the
other claims TO parties and sent the
other claims TO their addresses, which
ranged from Morgantown TO Cameron.
Meantime Harry Linn went about his
business, and, all unconscious OF tue
storm, called upon Grafton NJ. d..

collected bill at MOrgantown, and the
M. ID. there the next day received no
tice from Attorney Linn that he must

countered more trouble and had about
concluded the people were very, very
peculiar, when he saw the first party
who had paid his bill and an explana-
tion followed. Linn and Linn wrote
explanatory letters, but Of course most
OF the recipients are still mad, and the
costs OF the suits and commissions on
collections are still ia dispute. The
