travelling gown. Her mother had been
dead a year or more, and she had had
the constant care and companionship OF
her little sister ever since their Attic
ton. The 7-year-old entered tho room
and went to her sisters chair very
thoughtfully. Drawing II letter from
the little pocket, she said:
"Alice, here is a letter to mamma. |

the wedding. Will you send it to herr
The elder sister, a little shocked. re-
piled as gently as possible that she
couldn't send a letter to mother.
Then the little one. looking quite
bright, said promptly:
ooh, yes, you can, because now you
are married, you will be getting a little
girl, and when you send for her, just
give the doctor this letter, and he car
take it to when he goes for the
baby"
And there on the envelope was the
address, printed as best she could ITO
Mamma, In Heaven. Kindness of the
Doctor"
She took the letter, and Rugged the
little one to hide the tear which was
rubbed off ON the curly, brown head.--

r APfiRA Benin.

A Handsome Woman Was the rirst Eng
Iish Eomnie Novelist.
An important figure in tho begin
nings of the English novel is Mrs.
Aphra Behn G640-16S9), whose per-
sonal history is quite as interesting
as any Of her stories. Her father, q
Mr.. Johnson. had Influence enough
to get himself appointed lieutenant
general of Surinum, and he set sail
for the nev world, taking his wife
and children with him. Mr.. John
son did not live TO sec the regions he
had been sent to rule, but his wife
and children spent some years in
tho beautiful and romantic scenery
of Surinam, and there Aphra found
the materials of her best novel,
"Oroonoko." The time had not yet
como when description of nature
was a recognized feature in n story,
but "Croonoko" contains one or
two passages where an attempt is
made TO reveal to the people of Eng
land the beauties of Surinam These
passages have been praised for their
careless and picturesque power"
but possibly the second epithet is
less deserved than the first. More
over, n is bound to say that Mrs.
Dehn's imagination is apt to enter
into tho record of her experiences.
When. after her return to Eng
land, sho had the honor of telling
her adventures to Charles II, she
included among tho fauna of South
America snakes of terrific dimen-
sions, but u certain license has al
ways been accorded to tho retailers
Of snake stories. Her most extraor-
binary travellers tale is her account
of what she saw on her voyage from
Antwerp to England. How many
among those that go down to the
sea in ships have icon floating on
tho waves IN four square floor of
various colored marble, from which
assembled rows of futed ard twisted
pillars, embossed round with climb
ing vines and flowers, and waving
stroamers, that recoived'an easy mo-
ton in tho mir, upon tho pillars 100
little Cupids olambering with 1ut-
tering wingsl' Little wonder sure
ly that, following the disappearance
of this strange pageant, came a vio-
lent storm and Aphra and her COM
panions suffered shipwreck. There
is room for doubling whether Mrs,
Behn put into any of her stories as
much imagination as adorns the an
nails of her adventures. For her pe-
culiar claim to attention is that at q
time when the heroic romance was
in fashion she went for her charac-
ters and incidents to real life. When
she appeared in London after her So
journ in Surinam, her good looks,
her ready wit and her lively con-
versation carried society by storm.
She is described as "a handsome,
dark girl, with a clear forehead, fine
eyes, a full and merry mouth, an
animated though vo%luptuous counte-
nance and n quick and ready
tongue. "-Cornhill Magazine.

SLAVIN WAS WORSTED.
Waiter Johnson Has the Best of the
Fight With the Australian.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 14.-There
was large attendance at the Art Ath-
letic Club to witness the four-round
boxing bout between Frank P. Slavin
of Australia and Walter Johnson, the
young colored heavyweight of this city
The set-to was one Of the best seen
here for a long time. Johnson showed
that ne was the quicker and cleverer
by landing on Slavin several times in
the first round with his left Slavin got
In a couple Of right-handers ON the
ribs, but they did no damage In the
second round Johnson landed a right
handler on Slavin's head, which raised
a great lump on his cheek The colored
man had all the best of this round.
In the third Slavin got in a good hard
one on Johnson and the latter seemed
groggy, but he managed to keep out of
harms way. He forced Slavin back
when they came together again. and the
Australian began clinching, as he ap-
peared very tired.
As soon as time was called in the
fourth Johnson went right at Slavin
and landed several good upper cuts on
Slavin's stomach with his right. These
blows made the big Australian tired,
and he hung on to the colored man try
ing to punch Johnson in the ribs as
they were clinched. The round was cut
short about minute and Johnson was
much the freSher man of the two.
