LEPERS OF MOLOKAf
THE SETTLEMENT AS SEEN BY AN
AMERICAN PHYSICIAN.

A Village Filled with Inhabitants Whose
Lives Have Lost An Hope Of Earthly
Happiness-work of Christian Churches
In That Destitute Land.
DIR. Leonard Freeman, a prominent ply
sician of Cincinnati, has returned from a
tour of the Sandwich Islands, where after
much trouble be secured the privilege of
visiting the celebrated leper colony on the
island of Molokai. OF the island he says:
1t contains about 5000 acres. II is sur
rounded on three sides by the Pacific ocean,
and guarded on the fourth by tremendous
precipice, which cuts it off from the rest of
the world like gloomy wall. There are
about 100 lepers in the colony, and it is
true of this spot if it is of any other that
"Ye who enter here leave hope beyond"
Even the ground itself looks as if it had
leprosy, with its volcanic debris sticking
through the thin soil.
We went at once to the little Methodist

could be, with wooden benches and some
pitifully small panes of stained glass in,

Styles In Furs.

Fur is the leading feature of the win
ter seasons trimmings, and Persian
lamb and astrakan fur-these not being,
identical as many continue to suppose
are still highly popular. Dresses show a
liberal amount Of this decoration, and
cloaks and jackets are mass of it. I'm
like seal and sable, good limitations of
Persian lamb are not uncommon. The
glossy appearance of the skin is the
desirable feature and true test of the
real fur, and on close inspection the de-
ficiency is at once apparent, but at a
short distance the best limitations pass
muster very well. Long haired furs are
most usually considered more graceful
than other varieties, and they suggest
greater warmth and elegance. Last also
and by no means least, long hair furs
are more becoming to the complexion
than those which may be called short
furs. Bear, both light and dark, is be-
coming; lynx, skunk, Hudson sable, nor
must be forgotten the fur of the Arctic
fox, nor even the humber skin of the
badger. The fleece, toe, of the lowly
sheep, blanched to abnormal white
ness and crinkled according to taste, is
dainty looking as long as it retains its
purity. York Post.

New York's Benefactress.

When Mr.. Tilden' began to grow old
he had in his bachelors household a
quiet little girl, the granddaughter of
his sister. The little girl was fond of
reading, and used to read to the old
lawyer, whose eyes, no doubt, often
rested upon her benignantly. Years ran
by; the astute lawyer carefully planned
great gift to the public in the form of
library; and in the fullness of years
was gathered to the majority. His will,
like many others containing a grand
scheme of benevolence, proved to be but
a piece of waste paper. The old mans
cherished life design was about to fail,
when the quiet little girl, now grown to
womanhood, stepped in without demon
stration, as usual, and bestowed 81, 000,-
600 of her share of the Tilden estate upon
the library as planned. 1t is notable
act, and the name of Laura Pelton
Hazard deserves to be memorable. On
the walls of the Tilden library there
should be painting of the old lawyer
with the quiet little child reading to
hlm.-Cincinnati Times-Star.

Bernhardt, Patti and Langtry,

1t seems little odd that Bernhardt,
Patti and Langtry should each be re-
ported as engaged in writing book at
the same time. A letter just received
from we'll posted literary man in Lon
don tells us that Mrs. Langtry has
signed contract with an English pub
Usher to produce a book. Now, the
simple fact is that Mrs. Langtry is in no
respect clever with the pen. She told
me herself once that she would never at
tempt to write anything, for, to use her
own words, THAT is something entirely
foreign to me-" So some one else will
have to produce" the book for her, I'M
less she has been taking ''literary les
sons" Bernhardt, on the other hand,
has literary talent; in fact it would be
difficult to name something which the
divine Sarah could not do if she chose to
put her mind to it. The great French
actress, am told, is to produce book
on America very soon after she returns
to Paris, and she can transcribe the
notes" which she is making while jour
neying through America. Patti can
write Just a little bit," or ''enough,"
said friend, ''to put out a respectable
book" whatever that may mean. 1t
will certainly be curious to read these
three books when they come out. Bern
hardts, l understand, will, in all proba-
bility, be out first.-New York Epoch.

Illinois has surpassed all other states
in giving women representation among
herAstate commissioners for the Worlds
fair and appropriating $4,000 for their
especial use. Colorado has also given
women a place on her state board and
pays salary of 500 per month to those
appointed to the special work. The New
York lady managers are at work despite
their failure to obtain an appropriation.
Rhode Island has four women in state
commission of sixteen members. In the
state of Washington the lady managers
are ex-officio members of the board.
Maine divides its state commission equal
ly between four women and four men.
In every instance excepting the three
special appointments in Colorado the
lady commissioners receive no salary

How Women Carry Themselves.

"The prevailing style among women
of dressing the neck low," said an artist
recently, emphasizes the fact my profess
sion has long accepted, that a woman
with head well supported by grace
full neck and rising from even, sloping
shoulders, is not common. Look about
in company of young women, whose
faces, perhaps, are delicate and pretty,
often beautiful, and whose figures seem,
when facing them, rounded and elegant,
and then get behind them and see how
few show an attractive pose from that
point. Even if she has good back and
shoulders, which is almost rare to an ex-
ceptlon, she carries her head so far for
ward of her chest as to develop an angle
at the nape of the neck, where nature
certainly never intended to put one.
Most women, however, have prominent
shoulder blades, one shoulder point ris-
ing higher than the other, or, worse
still, trick of carrying the right side
OF the figure trifie in advance of the
left, which gives them from a side or
back view a decidedly crooked appear
ance. This, too, in spite of the modern
hue and cry about gymnastics and phys
ical culture. 1t is going to take a gener-
alton of careful training to do away
with these bad habits, and when | see
the young schoolgirls going about the
streets by dozens, with heads still bent
and shoulders rounded, think it may
take several generations to accomplish
much good. Providence Journal.

New York Women in Tableaux.

New York is to be treated to ''kunst-
lerfest," such as is given under the
auspices of the artists guilds in Munich,
Dusseldorf, Venice, Berlin and London.
In each of the towns men toned it is the
custom to give the undertaking royal
patronage, and the leading painters,
sculptors and designers take pride in
! the arrangement of all the details.
Tableaux vivants, arranged by New
York artists, will be presented. The
choruses of the Liederkranz and Arion
societies will sing, and torchlight
minuet of the Fifteenth century will be
danced in costume, also quadrille of
shepherdesses at Trianon in the costumes
of the time of Marie Antoinette. The
artists committee is composed of j.
Wells Champney, w. M. Chase, H. LIE
Grand Canon, G. Y. Turner, Percy and
Leon Moran, Herbert Satterlee and
some others. OF course the prettiest
women have been called into requisition
for the tableaux, and the lady managers
are congratulating themselves on their
strategic ability in making the selection
The artists said: "Women don't know
anything about women's beauty and
they cannot be trusted" but one even
ing they were invited to the house of
one of the managers, and they were met
with such an overwhelming force of
feminine beauty that one erudite artist
said it reminded him of the court of
Lorenzo de Medici. 1t turned out that
the lady managers had sent invitations
to forty of the handsomest young mar
ried women and pretty girls in New
York to come informally to take a cup
Eof tea. They were invited under false
spretenses, but the scheme turned out
beautifully and the artists were com
pletely satisfied. One of Murillo's most

A Young women's Home That Pays.

Boston numbers a new aspirant for
honor among her justly celebrated in
situations in the Bartol, the new stu
dents home. Recognizing the disad-
vantages under which the homeless stu
dent struggles and the insidious tempta-
tons that encompass her, Albert Muir
dock has converted a large and hand
some building into home for women
students, where comfort and luxury
may be obtained at cost less than that
paid at common boarding houses for in
ferior accommodations.
The Bartol is self sustaining in every
way, but by strict economy of space the
revenue exceeds the cost of maintaining
the home. The surplus income thus OBJ
tanned becomes benefit fund to the
student. Every one who remains year
becomes by virtue of that fact a partner

The prices of the rooms, not including
board, ranges from $3.50 to $3.50 per
week. There are parlors, a reading

the students, and dinner, breakfast and
lunch rooms, where meals are provided
