The Lost Ice Ar.

The valley above San Damiano is
from the hillsides once filled the floor
across and made wide fat area.
Through the deep bed of conglomerate
thus formed the river has again cut a
gorge, within which it gracefully winds.
In long green or wooded slopes the
mountains spread down on either side
to the fertile valley floor. villages are
planted on the edge of the lower ravine,
the sides of which are precipitous, with
birch trees growing on their lodges, now
and then a waterfall leaping down over
them. The floor of the rayine again is
fiat. with grass lawns of wonderful YER
dure, contained by the loops of the clear
and hurrying waters.
As we drove along, gazing at the se-
ries of beautiful pictures thus revealed
to us, we turned corner, and a long
tendril of wild rose in full blossom
reached out from the rocks on our right
and arched the picture in. So entranced
were we that an ice ak, my companion
for s summers, leaped out Of the car
riage, and did not miss it till we
reached the trysting place, where our
men awaited us. Aymonod went back a
mile or so to look for it. He met some
peasants and asked them if they had
seen such thing in the way Yes, :"
they answered, Lying in the middle Of
the road" /" why did you not pick it
up, them" "Oh. why should we? 1t
was not ours" and the next man we
met said the same. "We saw it and left
it. 1t was not ours 1t lay where it
fell till Aymonod found and brought it
safely back. k.-Contemporary Review.

No sunday Sessions.


The coming international Christian
Endeavor convention will close on Mon
day, July 10, instead Of Sunday, July
IA. Instead Of making Sunday, as here
tofore, the great closing day, it has been
decided to close Mechanics hall and the
two tents upon that day, and the con
vention as convention will not be in
session at all upon that Sabbath day.
The pulpits Of Boston and suburbs
will no doubt be occupied by visiting
clergymen and laymen. The regular
church services, the Sunday schools, the
missions and the Endeavor prayer
meetings will be the great rallying
points for all visiting and resident dele
gates Please note the change Upon
Monday night the closing meetings
will be held with the great conservation
meetings.
This we believe is wise plan, and
the various state and district Christian
Endeavor conventions will very many
of them adopt the plan which will be
inaugurated for the first time at any in
ternational convention. The dates of the
Boston convention are July 10 to Is,
without sessions on Sunday, the 14th.-

A Bright Woman Lawyer.

Florence Fl. Dangerfeld, who passed
an examination before the state board
of examiners for the right to practice
law in this state, was admitted to the
bar. She is the second female lawyer in
the state, an acquaintance Of hers, Mel
la Staneyletta Titus, being the first
woman to win that distinction.
Lawyer Dangerfield is graduate Of
Cornell university and studied law in
the University of the City Of New York.
She was for three years secretary to
Chancellor McCracken He said of her
recently that it was she who won him
over to the theory that the woman s
law class was an excellent addition to
the university. Miss Dangertield was a
clerk in Francis M. Wellman's Office
when he was assistant district attorney,
and she was intrusted with great deal
of the preliminary work in preparing
the Lexow committee testimony when
Mr.. Wellman acted as prosecutor of the
police captains before the police board.
1t was Miss Dangerfeld's task to dis
cover whether the women witnesses had
anything pertinent to tell.

her father, mother, brother and sister,
her dog and the family horse. So acute
is her sense of smell that she can cor
rectly pick out any variety Of the hun
dred roses in her fathers garden an d
give it its technical name. At one time
in her southern home there was a litter
of five puppies. She named them all,
and whenever she took one up she
called each by the given name. though
the pups looked exactly alike.
A remarkable test was given before q
committee of doctors who had met to
examine her case. Each gentleman
handed her glove, as did Miss SulH-
van. She took them all in her hands,
handled them quickly and nervously,
smelled them, handed her teachers back
and then proceeded more deliberately
with the others. She felt of the hand OF
one, of the watch chain Of the other and
handed back each gentleman his own
property.
She is passionately fond Of dress and
is very particular as to her personal ap-
pearance. She appears to be as sensi-
tive as magnet to currents or vibra-
tions of air. Music is one of her de-
lights, the notes vibrating through her
body in some mysterious way, so that
she literally feels the music. Schumann
is her favorite composer
Helen is never morose nor sullen, but
is always smiling and happy. She il
very warm hearted and affection ate. and
no one who sees her is inclined to pity
her, for she is extremely lively and full
Of exuberant spirits She makes friends
everywhere and has received presents
from the crowned heads of Europe, the
queen Of Greece being particularly in
terested in her case.
