ton is received from Australia con-
cerning the reports of f. w. Christian, OF
the Polynesian society. Christian has
discovered extensive traces of the Chi
nese and Japanese in the islands of the
Pacific and claims to have discovered
evidence pointing to the existence of a
civilization of nearly 1000 years ago,
which is linked with the ancient civili-
cation in Central America, and will
probably explain the origin of the
Aztec races. Evidence of decisive
nature was secured which shows that a
large trade was carried on, via the
islands of the Carolina group, between
China and Central America. The coin
cidence is strange one that dispatch
from HermosilIo, Mex, dated June 6,
reports that rock recently discovered
in the mountains of Magdalena dis.
trict, state of Sonora, is covered with
Chinese inscriptions. Those translated
show that the writing was proba bly, in.

BUNDLES THAT PEOPLE CARRY.
Curious Things to Be Seen in the
CitN'S Streets.

"In Broadway at the lower end of
Park row the other day" said Mr.. Bugle-
ton. 81 met a man carrying a scythe.
1t wasn't Father Time, but a young man
with dark hair and elastic step, who
could swing the scythe in the field. New
York is not what you would call an
agricultural community. In Greater
New York there may be now and then
a farm in the outskirts. but the region
is certainly not a farming section, and it
seemed at first little strange to see a
man walking along there carrying a
scythe, even if it was done up in paper.
but it seemed strange for moment
only. You don't meet men every day
in Broadway carrying scythes, but you
meet at one time and another people
carrying pretty much everything.
There is nothing made anywhere that
can't be bought in New York, and peo-
pie come here from everywhere, far and
| near, to buy the things, and sooner or
later you are likely to meet 'em on
| Broadway carrying mandolins and guns
and bird cages and innumerable other
things, including scythes.
"The particular scythe that was seen
at Broadway and Park row was carried
by man who was doubtless on the way
to some downtown ferry, bound for a
place in the suburbs. And that reminds
me of something that you see every
year, but that still seems strange when
| YOU see it for the first time in season
and that is the man walking along
Broadway carrying a bundle of plants
the tops projecting above the paper
nodding as he walks. These plants al
ways look sort of curious here, becaus,
you don't see just what they have to dc
with trade and finance; but they'll be
all right where they're going-they arr
tomato plants carried home by some
man who lives in the suburbs.

Perhaps the world would have been

taking Wilbur Gates orphan daughter

And voices through the deepening gloom
Arc whispering fondly in mine ear:
And hands that seem so strangely near
- reckoning in the dusky room.
They beckon to the golden west
where sunsets perfect glory lies;
while higher in the Quiverins skies
Annear the star of evening rest.
And crimson clouds-like angel bands
assembled near to watch and pray
Have gathered round the dying day
with Mains of glory in their hands.
The darkened twilight deeper falls:
The misty moon hangs large and red
Above the forests shadowy head.
And bark. | hear a voice that calls!
Still further do my dreamings roam.
And further take the hue or truth;
feel a sudden gush of youth,
And some one points the pathway home.

The most subtle and deceitful hope
which ever existed, and one which
wrecks the happiness of many young
girls life, is the common delusion that
a woman can best reform a man by
marrying him. 1t is a mystery to me
how people can be so blinded to the
hundreds of cases in every commu
nifty where tottering homes have fallen
and innocent lives have been wrecked
because some young girl has per-
sisted in marrying a scoundrel in the
hope of saving him. | have never
known such union, and | have seen
hundreds of them, result in anything
but sadness and disaster. Let no
young girl think that she may be able
to accomplish what a loving mother or
sympathetic sisters have been unable
to do. Before there is any contract of
marriage there should be convincing
proof that there has been real and
thorough rcgeneration.-D. L. Moody,
in Ladies' Home Journal.

THE REJECTED BACChANTE.
What RnstOn Refused New York
Gladly Takes Up.

The "Bacchante," by Frederick Mac
Mcnnies, has been accepted by the Met
ropoltan museum, New York, and it
will at once be placed in the center of
the bronze room at the east gallery
on the first floor. The muchmaligned
"Bacchante" comes to New York as the
gift cf o. +. McKim, of New York
city, after chilling reception in Dos
ton and a rejection of a proposition to
put it in one of the libraries of that
city.
The tender of the beautiful life-sizc
original bronze was made to the mu-
scum on June in d letter sent by Mr..
Mckim to Frederick Rhinclandcr. This
generous offer was by him transmit
ted to Daniel Huntington, chairman
of the committee on sculpture. Under
the constitution, in the absence Of the
members of the board of directors, Hen
rv G. Marquand, president; Hiram
! Hitchcock, treasurer, and Gen. Louis
di Cesnola, secretary Of the museum
are empowered to act with the chair
man of the committee on sculpture.
| This committee of the board of di
rectors met promptly and voted unani
mously to accept the gift.

FASHION NOTES.
Items of Interest for Ladies Who
Dress in STYLE.

Kid belts are worn with all sorts of
frocks, and they come in charming
colors and with beautiful buckles. In
white they are as soft as glove kid. and
are strapped tight about waist with
charming effect.
The newest vinaigrette is male of
agate. The stones polish beautifully,
and those of red and green are particu-
larlr popular just now. The tops OF the
vinaigrettes are of silver, gilded, and
are usually embellished with stone
of the color that predominates in the
agate.
Grass lawn seems to have taken new
lease of life, and bids fair to become
greater favorite even than it proved
last summer. 1t appears i'll so many
beautiful effects that it is certainly
hard to pass by in making selection
of summer textiles. Fine sheer grass
lawn is to be worn over daintily colored
glace silks, many of which are first
accordion plated.
A fashion that seems to hold its own
| indefinitely is having the corsage dit-
| ferent from the skirt. 1t is both econom
| ical and serviceable, as we'll as becom
ing, which is doubtless the secret of it's
| success. Whatever may be the cause,
we are content, for it increases our
wardrobes twofold. Whether in the
shape of a fancy silk top or muslin
lingerie blouse, it is worn with linen
collar and smart crayat of some kind.
| Very many of the organdie and flow
cred and dotted muslin dresses have
plain tinted batiste or lawn for the
foundation skirt and waist lining. in
stead of taffeta. on which they were
formerly mounted. The batiste lining
makes cooler gown, and more dain-
ty. if a little less rich looking one, and
this soft lining can be had in all the
pretty shades of pink, lilac, yellow,
green. or other tints that form the back
grounds of figured muslins.
Scarfs of point d'esprit or of fine
net edged with lace are used for cravats
with fancy bodices, wound twice about
the throat, and knotted on one side.
Real lace scarfs are used in the same
way, and butter-colored lace of the
thoNN'
upon bodices, upon which both black
and white lace is lavished. Black ne
blouses with applique motifs of white
lace are charming with girdle of vivid
green silk. black skirt, and cravat OF
butter-colored lace.
A dainty chemisette to be worn with
jacket fronts was made of pink crepe
de chine, accordion plated from the
, neck. a two-inch band of cream satin
ribbon started from under the chin
ending in a handsome knot at The
waist This band was embroidered in
solid stitch, with Asiatic flo, the de
, signs being clusters of pink arbutus

TWO VALLEYS OF DEATH.
One in Java and Another in the SOuti
of California.

The Valley of Death, or Poison val
lev, as it is sometimes called, is an oval
shaped hollow, near the summit of
mountain on the Island of Java. 1t is
about half u mile in width and 35 feet
in depth, and its atmosphere is Loaded
with carbonic acid gas. 1t has not beer
thoroughly explored, for as the bones
of beasts, of birds and Of some humar
beings may be seen from its borders
even the most adventurous persons dc
not care to run the risk of breathing its
air for any time. There is also "Deatt
valley" in lnyo county, Cal, between
the Paramint mountains and the Amar.
gosa range. 1t is 40 miles in length by
eight miles in breadth and its lowest
part lies $50 feet below sea level. 1t is
known that every part of it is desert
but it's topography and its climate have
never been accurately observed for the
reason that human beings cannot live
long enough in its atmosphere to OBJ
tain the needed facts. In the coolest

a long, loose curl which hung over her

she-with lot of little children, and

almost petulantly.
