REFLECTIONS IN A CHAPEL.
Large Brass Cross Which Serves as a
Mirror.

Large Brass Cross Which Serves as a
Mirror.
Recently the governor of one of our
county prisons was greatly perplexed
by the discovery that the female GRIM
inals in his charge managed in some
mysterious manner to ascertain the
presence of every individual man on
the other side of the impervious divid-
ing barrier which separates the male
from the female wOrshipers in the Jail
chapel, says the London Hospital.
One of the women inadvertently made
an exclamation. showing that she had
suddenly become aware that her hus-
band was within the same walls, al
though his presence ought, according
to the rules, to have been completely
unknown to her. None of the officers
could account for an unpermitted
knowledge which was found to be
shared by all other women. At last a
very careful examination of the chapel
gave an explanation of the mystery.
Although strictly divided, as we have
said, both the male and the female
prisoners faced the altar in their seats
and over it had been fixed a very large
brass cross against the wall, so highly
polished as to form very good mirror,
and in it's clear surface the women saw
the reflection of every man as he passed
to his place and had enjoyed the spec
tacle with impunity till the wife's affec-
ton overcame her discretion. The
brass cross instantaneously disap-
reared.

Confusion of Names.

1t is not generally known here where
artists works are more familiar than
their faces-that George Du Maurier
and Laurence Alma Tadema resembled
one another to an amazing degree; so
much that even their intimate friends
mistook them. A young lady who
prided herself that she had no difficulty
in determining which was which, find
ing herself once seated next to Du Maui
rier, remarked: L cannot imagine
how any one can mistake you for Mr..
Tadema. To me the likeness is very
slight. BY the way, have a photo
graph Of you. Do De so good as to put
your autograph to it" Du Maurier. as

During DR.. Nansen's long voyage into
the Arctic Sea in search of the North
Pole he came upon a group of four ISL
ands, in the neighborhood of Franz
Josef Land, near which he saw large
numbers of a very rare and beautiful
bird known as Ross's gull. 1t is de-
scribed as the most beautiful of all the
animal forms OF the frozen regions,
and as the most markedly polar of all
bird FORMS" 1t is distinguished from
other species Of gull by Its beautiful
rose-colored breast, it wedge-shaped
tail, and it's airy fight" Speaking Of
the discovery of these birds, Dr. Nam
sen says: Hitherto it has only been
seen by chance on the utmost confines
OF the unknown Polar Sea, and no one
knew whence it came or whittier it
went; but here we had Unexpectedly
come upon it's native haunt, and al
though it was too late in the year to
find its nests, there could be no doubt
about its breeding in this region"

NEW SCHOOL HOUSES.

Inadcquacy of the Present Quarters Be-
comes Every Day More Apparent.
The Board of Educa tiou met Monday
evening, the chief topic of discussion
being the lack of quarters to arcomo-
date the children of school age in the
city. 1t has become absolutely neces-
sary to provide increased room in the
Fourth ward which has grown faster
than any other in the city. AT present
there are many children in that ward
who are compelled to walk almost a
mile to school and are packed like sar.
dimes in box when they get there
1t is more than likely that the Board
will soon evolve a plan for bettering
this condition of affairs.

THE LOVE STORY
OF NUMBER SIX.

L y the Baptist Orphan Asylum OF a
small town In Vermont Lizzie Mac
ready was known as No. g. The
name was particularly fitting for more
reasons than one. Lizzie was the
youngest child in a family Of six. She
was the sixth orphan who had been ad-
mltted to the institution in the sixth
year of its establishment Her father
was locomotive engineer on the Yer
mont Central Railway. Lizzie, the
youngest child, was u years old when
he was killed in a collision, and
brought home a corpse to his little
ones. His eldest daughter had been
keeping house since the death of her
mother. and soon after the father 5
demise she married a section boss. The
children We're scattered among friends
and relatives. The boys had found
good homes and were all at work earn
ing money. Lizzie was taken into the
orphanage. of which her aunt, kindly
middle-aged woman, was matron.
Nobody objected to this arrangement
for Miss Sanders stood very high in the
esteem of the townspeOple, who
thought it but right that the youngest
child of the dead engineer should be
cared for at the expense of the county
since all the others had not become
burdens on their charity.
