While the murder of female mission
aries in China fills the civilized world
with horror. and the murderers should
receive the most condign punishment.
the query again arises, Why should it be
necessary TO send civilized women at
great expense to engage in the entirely
hopeless task of attempting 10 convert
the Chinese, when the same expenditure
would reach ten times the number of
white heather in our own country. and
do hundred times as much good? Until
all the so-called civilized countries are
civilized or Christianized, it looks like a
work of supererogation to send mission
aries abroad.

Husband aud Wife Reunited.

Lexington. KY, Special: A most pa
thetic reunion of husband and wife,
after manw years OF separation, took
place here the other morning, when
Richard w. Mackey found the woman
he deserted sixteen years ago domiciled
in n modest cottage supporting herself
and child by dressmaking. The wife,
although overcome with Joy, was
placed In most peculiar position, since
she had thought him dead, and has
since he deserted her, been twice mar
ried. Her maiden name was Priscilla
Hearn, she being the daughter Of a
wealthy Alabama planter. She married
David Spaulding three years after Mac
key deserted her. Spaulding lived only
few months and after his death she
married julius Roach of Sheridan,
Miss, whom she deserted after living
with him only a short time. Mackey
went to Leadville, Colo. and afterward
roved over New Mexico, Kansas,
Arkansas, Idaho and Montana. Tired
Of rambling. he set out to find his wife,
and IT was after much difficulty that
he located her in this city. He was sur
prised when she told him the varied ex-
periences she had since she had given
him up as dead, and they are now llv-
ing happily together. She had no chill
dren by either of her other husbands.
and her boy. born a month before Mac
key left her, is almost grown.

Code OF ElephantIne Manners.

The following incident may prove In

DRY i'm the matter Of instruction in the
code OF elephantine manners. While
visiting the Zoo some time ago I took
my children to see the elephant and
TO give them a ride. After the ride
wanted TO give the elephant a bun, and
TO ma Ike him say please" said "Salaam
kuro"-i. e.. make a salaam. The ami
NAL looked at me hard for some time,
with the bun in my hand. At last MEM
DRY came to his help, and up went his
trunk, and he made a most correct
"salaam." The keeper seemed very
much surprised and asked me what 1t
meant. / told him IL was a point of
good manners for an elephant to raise
his trunk up to his forehead IL any
one was going to feed him, and that
frequently elephants will ask In this po-
lite manner for something when they
see any one pass by who is likely TO
feed them. The keeper assured me he
had never seen the elephant do this be-
fore, and IL l remember rightly he had
been in charge Of the animal since 1t
arrived from India, and that II was
one of those which took part in the
grand procession to Agra when his
royal highness, the Prince of Wales,
visited India, and where I doubtless
saw Il. For seventeen years this animal
had never heard these words.-London

waited foc hef 10 speak. "Where did
you go, Joe?" inquired the lady in a
kindly tone, at the same time taking
off the boys cap and mittens and seat
ing him by a warm fire.
''Joe went to the river, but the fun
was all over" replied the boy with
merry laugh. "They found the boy
that was drowned before Joe got
there!"
''Was there really a boy drowned,
Joe? Mother told Joe to keep off the
ice."
''Yes," said the boy; mother told
Joe to keep off the ice. Joe wasn't
drowned"
"No, | see that you were not
drowned" with a smile) ''who was it,

"Did you see him drown, Joe?"
"Joe didn't see him drown; the fun
was all over Ia, ha, ha! 1t was Shan
mons boy; mother told Joe to keep of
the ice."
The lady, despairing of further de-
tails, asked the boy where he went
next.
Went to Shannon's; quarter-past
eleven"
"What did you say at Shannon's?'
told her the fun was all over; told
her they were bringing her boy home
in the wagon, and he was drowned"
"What did she do?"
"She screamed"
"Why, Joe-was her boy really
drowned?"
"She screamed cause the fun was all
over" replied Joe.
The fun" which the poor boy had
said was all over proved to be indeed
the drowning of boy in the river by
the breaking of the ice. Joe had seen
the crowd, witnessed the excitement
and the recovery of the body, and had
started up Sycamore street toward
home, telling all he met that 1.-THE fun
was all over" To his clouded mind
excitement of any kind meant fun"
and his merry laugh was ripping like

brought to a termination one of the
most remarkable cases in medical his
tory. Last November. Nevin, who was
a fine-looking. splendidly proportioned
man of "a years began to complain of
severe pains in the thighs, and went
to hospital. The surgeons determined
to expose the lower portion of the spine.
and remove any foreign matter which
the might possibly find. A diminutive
human body was found at the back of
the abdomen. The embryo was removed
and preserved in alchohol. The discov-
cry was one of intense interest to the
hospital staff, and the explanation was
that the patient was one of twins, and
the form found in his body is what Is

the tiny thing with her paw. and then
sauatted close by and watched it. By

the nesting, and doing pussy was
reused by the wee wrens huttering.
She saw at once what was wrong. and
struck at the snake with her paw, but
still the snake tried to catch the bird.
Thereupon the cat seized the snake be-

The lady whom Joe called mother
on entering the house was Mrs.
Gust. When her husband had
fished the half-drowned boy out
of Mill creek three years before, a very
touching scene had occurred. Lifting
the boy in his kindly arms from the
light carriage before the door, Mr.
Gust had carried him into the house in
his wet garments, seated him before
the fire and said:
"Mary, this poor boy is the victim of

him, and not knowing what else to do

The boy looked up at her in timid,
confding way and said: "Mother."
"ie is too frightened to talk" said
Mrs. Gust. Then without another
word she put dry clothing on the boy,

fingers of the right hand successfully

hand. Warming himself for a few
minutes in silence, he then said: "Our
stove needs backing, Joe; keep every
thing nice and tidy" Then giving his
right thumb another grip and looking
toward MIR. Formula, he said:
"Be home when the clock strikes 10,
Joe; a quarter to 12r'-the last words
with emphasis and a sudden casing
down of the imprisoned thumb. Then
the strange child passed out and
moved rapidly up the street.
