LeDers at Large.

Lepers are very plentiful on the
island of Jamaica in the West Indies.
They mix with the people without let
or hindrance, plying all manners Of
trades and vocations, even to selling
fruits and cakes on the public streets
and keeping butcher shops and bake
ries. The government has provided a
leper hospital at Spanish Town, which
ordinarily shelters hundred or more
lepers. But there is no restriction on
their coming and going as they please,
Coed care and treatment is provided
for them, and as is the nature of the
average Jamaican negro, they are well
pleased to have some one provide for
them, and thus enable them to live
without work and care. But when
they take a notion to 60 to see their
friends, or to visit Kingston to SEQ the
sights, they simply go, and meme him
ders them. The physicians and
thoughtful people of the island peri
odically try to secure some proper
treatment of the very serious leper
question, but humanity's prevailing
type in the tropics is easy going, and
nothing is done.

JAoKsoN's DEATH.
A touching Incident in tho Last Moments
of tho Famous General.


Then came the death wound, and
after nearly weeks unavoidable de-
tentlon Mrs. Jackson reached her hus.
bands deathbed, writes Mrs Jeifer-
son Davis in an interesting sketch
with portrait Of the "The Widow Of
Stonewall Jackson" in the Ladies'
Home Journal.
Spent with the anguish OF his
wounds he lay dying too near the
silence Of the grave to do more than
murmur to his wife: "Speak louder,
I want to hear all YOU say" and
feebly to caress his baby with a
whisper: ''My sweet one, my treas
ure," while the innocent smiled In
his face.
Then was the heart broken wife
and mother given strength to min
lister to both. objects of her love.
From her firm lips the dying hero
learned that the gates of Heaven
were ajar for his entrance. Control.
ling her bitter grief she sang for him
the sacred songs on which his faint
ing spirit scared upward to its rest
When all was over, and she had fol-
lowed him to his grave, she again
eought her fathers roof, and there
hid her bowed head among her own
people, to live only for her baby.
In strict retirement the young
widow husbanded her means until
her daughter was grown a pretty,
graceful young woman, and then, to
promote her chlld's happiness, the
mother emerged from the privacy in
which she had lived since her hus-
bands death, and visited both the
Southern and Northern States In
the course Of time her daughter be-
came engaged to young Virginian,
Mr.. Christian Of Richmond, and a
few months later was married to
him.
Shortly after their marriage Mr..
and Mrs. Christian removed to Cali
fornIa, whittier Mrs. Jackson accom-
panied them. They returned a short
time later to Charlotte, N. G., where
they took a house and lived together.
Now, however, the Widows trial was
imminent Mrs. Christian was at
tackled by a prostratlng fever and
succumbed, after bearing her illness

An Entire Family OF the Uueerest en-
mines in the World.
Just think Of a collection Of five
dogs, each canine possessing only two
legs, says the Cincinnati Enquirer.
That Is the remarkable possession Of
9. w. Zinn, a swltchman in the en-
ploy Of the c., H. and ID. Railroad
Company Mary and John, the head
of the family, were ushered into the
world two years ago minus their
front legs. Handicapped as they are
most dogs would lie down and grieye
themselves TO death. But Mary and
John didn't do anything Of the sort,
When but few weeks old they dis
played wonderful agility, and it was
not long before they proved them
selves equal to the emergency which
nature had forced upon them. They
soon learned to stand erect and hop
along as easily as their more FORUM
ate four-footed companions would.
Last July Mary become mother,
and her offspring proved to be also Of
the understanding" variety. This
puppy was named Colonel, the details
Of whose birth were printed in the
Enquirer at that time. The Colonel
became quite famous, and hundreds
of visitors went to his kennel to see
the youngster and his biped parents.
He grew to be quite a husky youth,
but departed his two-legged life on
the 3lst of last December in fit Of
hiccoughs.
Mr.. Zinn felt his los keenly but
last Sunday his grief gave way to JOY,
for Mrs. Mary, like the good mother
that she is, presented her master
with three puppies, two males and a
female, each one having only two
legs. They have been named Pat,
Dan and Bridget. Pat is brindle,
the exact counterpart of his father,
John, while Bridget is a pocket edi-
ti9n of her mother, Dan is sort Of
composite Of the parents-neutral, as
it were, in color,
The news of the youngsters arrival
has caused considerable interest in
Cummlnsville in the neighborhood Of
Mr.. Zinn's home, and hundreds Of
people called Sunday and Monday to
see the curious little animals.
The parents Of the queer little
family are brother and sister, John
is a brindle, and Mary's hair is a
delicate shade Of yellow. They are
quite small Their mode Of loComC-
tion is remarkably graceful, and from
all appearances Mary aud John are

The characters Of the Thousand
and One Nights" may be almost i'm
agined to step out Of their setting
words, and take form and glow with
the generous warmth of life before
ones very eyes, says writer in the
Gentleman's Magazine. The natives
still drink the same coffee, and out
of the same cups; they smoke the
same pipes, they wear generally tie
same dress, they play the same prim-
tive instruments that whisper the
same strange and plaintiye tones.
The funeral professions wend their
way along the streets as of old; the
popular festivals or moolids are still
observed with the same untirlng ca
pacity for enjoyment; the public re-
citers still practice their professions
before admiring crowds; the water
carriers still carry their burdens, so
welcome to thirsty lips; except in the
houses of the rich. and thoroughly
EurOpeanized, food is still eaten with
the fingers, and in the same manner,
and the hands are washed with the
same basins and ewers; the mosque
of Ell Azhar still attracts its crowd
of students. Even the old wooden
locks and keys a.e still in use, and
the water jars are still kept cool in
the lattice-work Of the overhanging
mushrabiyeh window frames, In
stances of this sort might be multi
piled hundredfold. 1t is, indeed,
a wonderful change and contrast
that is presented to the eye when
you leave the European aud enter
the native quarter. And the mind
and feeling tucn in unist n, and be-
come attuned to the changed scene.
The sense of taking part in new
and different life steals over you, and
you temporarily threw off your Atm
ity with the West and the nineteenth
century. The clock Of time is, for
the moment, put back for you.

AT WAR VI7H HERSELF.
The Story Of a WOman's AtOnement,
by Charlotte NJ. Sraeme.
CHAPTER xxxIx-Contlnuod.


Leonie wanted to be alone. She felt
as though someone had struck her
across the face with a whip, and had
left a singing, scarlet brand there.
"a thief" She, Leonie Rayner, who
had been proud of her beauty-who
had teen fair and pule as the blossoms
around her-who had been loyal and
true-who had carried herself proudly
by right of her innocence and fair
iame-who had never known fear or
shame was now neither more nor less
than thief.
They called her Countess Of Charm
leigh-she was in reality thief. They
praised her; they said that the world
was at her feet-that she was graceful,
charming, and clever. Before heaven
she was a thief. She said the word to
herself over and over again, and each
time 1t grew more hateful.
Yet IL was perfectly true. She had
stolen Paul's title-it was his, not hers.
She had stolen his money! his lands,
his Jewels, his possessions; they were
all his, not hers she had stolen them.
Then came to her mind the solemn
words of that brief commandment,
"Thou shalt not steal" Had any one
broken that commandment more terri
bly, than she had done? AS she stood,
her white fingers playing with the rich
scarlet blossoms Of an Indian plant, n
sudden thought came to her.
"Why not own the truth? Why not
free herself from this miserable load
of sin and treachery that darkened her
life and made her wretched? Why
not free her soul from its bondage, her
heart from its weight Of unutterable
sorrow? Why not repent Of her sin
before Heaven, and give back to Paul
Flemyng that which was most justly
his?"
The very thought of this was q relief
to her, Confess 1t all-give back that
which was another's and not hers -
free herself from this intolerable
shame and anguish win for herself
again the sweet hope OF heaven ali, If
she would but do all this,
Could she give up this luxury and
magnifcence to which she had no title?
No, she )uld not; and with the stain
of her sin still deeper on her soul, she
went out from among the flowers.

She VIII Learn.

A touching story is told Of ayoung
bride in New York, who hesltated to
60 on with the ceremony because she
did not wish to VOW obedience to her
husband. The girl was very young
and very foolish, or she would have
known that no woman nowadays con-
siders the obedience clause in the
ceremony as anything more than an
idle and imperative form. 1t was
only when two or three married wo-
men placed the matter before her in
the proper light that she consented
to allow the service to proceed. In
six months she will blush at the
memory Of her cowardice and ignor-
