ALETTERFROM DIR. HOLMES.
He Tells & Little Girl of an Adventure
 When He Was a ISoy.

He Tells & Little Girl of an Adventure
 When He Was a Boy.
 Isabella Graham Murdook contributes to St. Nicholas an experience of her school day life, in which she quotes the following interesting letter that she re- ceived from Oliver Wendell Holmes:
 BOSTON, March 15, 1880. My DEAR MISS IsABELLA-Here is one little incident of my life which have never told in print:
 When I was a little boy, got upon a raft one day-a few boards laid together-which hoated about in a pond-a very small pond, but rather bigger round than dinner table. It was big enough, anyhow, to drown little boy, and came pretty near doing it, for, while I was stooping over t @ edge of the raft, slip ped and went souse into the water.
 remember great sound in my ears-"guR- gle, guggle,' said it was, when they asked me about it-and a desperate struggle, feeling that I was going to be drowned, just as little Sam Childs had been, and then all at once my whole past life seemed to flash before me as B train of cars going thousand miles an hour if such a speed were poSsible-would pass in one long crowded streak before the eyes of a person standing by the railroad
 had never heard that this was a common experience with persons who are near drown ing, but I have since heard of many cases where the same flash of their past lives has come before drowning people who have been rescued and have told about it..
 You may put this story in your essay if you like.
 get great many letters from young per sons, and it takes great deal of my time to answer them, so think am quite good na- tured this evening to tell you all this. Don't you think so, dear Miss Isabella? Very truly yours, OLIVER WENDELL. HOLMES.

WOMEN OF ARMENIA.
English Customs Are Slowly Reaching
 Them-The Mothers Rule.

English Customs Are Slowly Reaching
 Them-The Mothers Rule.
 The Armenian girl is little troubled with education, beyond household du- ties, spinning and needlework-and at this last accomplishment she is always an expert, especially at embroidery unless, indeed, she attends one of the excellent Armenian mission schools car ried on in many towns, where she will learn English, French and possibly her own language, for Armenians not infre- Quently adopt the vernacular of the country wherein they live She will al- so acquire a thirst for fiction, English and French. The Armenian girl is deep ly sentimental and likes to read of love, and marriage is, of course, the ultima Thule of her ideas. This little matter is generally arranged by her mother, and nowhere are women of more importance or hold more weight in the family ooun- oils. The mother is at the head of the patriarchal establishment, in which her sons, their wives and often her nephews and nieces dwell. She rules her sons and sons' wives, the latter, perhaps, with somewhat severe hand, especially dur ing the first year of their married lives, when, except to attend church, they may not go out, though, when the daughters-i in law in their turn become mothers greater liberty is permitted them.
 In more advanced portions of the com munity a girls choice is practically un- restricted, and it is we'll that it is sos for the Armenian church strenuousIy Op- poses divorce, and the marriage bond is only soluble by death. Not infrequently the girls choice falls upon an English man or other European, and many merchants and telegraph officials in Persia and Turkey find them excellent wives.
 The Armenian national costume con sists of voluminous skirt of heavy bro- oaded material. tight sleeved bodice of the same stuff, much mbroidered about the front, with handsome filigree silver belts marking the waist. The head coverings are fichus of fringed embroid- cred silk, and a multitude of chains and coins hang round their necks. ln winter the embroidered bodice is ex- changed for wadded one, and huge felt shoes are worn over the ordinary boots to keep out the biting cold. Though the Armenian women do not wear veils to conceal their features as a point of re- ligion, they not infrequently do cover their faces with gauge or 8 corner of a shawl.
 Some of the younger women, however, have discarded their native costume for that of London three years ago, and they are evidently not quite at ease in their newly acquired corsets. They copy the fashion plates in English papers and produce wonderful combinations of pink, blue and violet, which are further adorn. ed with quantities of brilliant jewelry. They are full of curiosity regarding the life of civilized nations, particularly in the matter of marriage, and never miss an opportunity of obtaining information on the subject. Louis Post-Dispatch.

KEPT HIS WORD.
Supernatural Voice Was Heard I'm Che
 Composing Room.


 The talk had turned to the supernatu- ral, and a man who has been the fore man of newspaper composing room for a good many years down in Virginia told the following story in the presence of a reporter: "There used to be young fellow by the name of Blank, who work ed at a case in - office. He was @ nimble typesetter and very nice kind of boy. But he would wander about the country That, you know, is char acteristic of the typesetting fraternity. never liked the habit and never in- dulged in it to any considerable extent myself. told him one day that he would come to bad end. "'If ever am in trouble, will call on you, Frank, he replied generally.
 "Well, one day he came to me, and throwing his stick on the imposing stone said that he was going to leave the office and go to Norfolk. l tried to dissuade him, but all to no purpose. He was headstrong fellow, and that set- tied it. About week later was busy at the forms, getting the inside pages ready to send to the cellar. The clock ill the city hall had just struck midnight Suddenly heard my name called. I thought it was one of the boys in the office who was calling, and I made no immediate reply. Again heard some one call in a very distinct voice. This time recognized it as Blanks voice. f "'BIank is out in the street, and he is calling you, Frank, said one of the compositors.
 "I walked over to the front window, threw up the sash and peered out. The street was silent and deserted. Not 0 living thing was to be seen.
 "'What do you want, Blankp called out.
 "There was no reply. I shut the win dow and went back to the page which 1 had been making up.
 "I thought that heard Blanks voice, said to my assistant.
 "'So you did, he replied, We all heard him call
 "And so they had. The next day a telegram reached the office saying that Blank had been run over and killed by train near Norfolk about midnight Blank had kept his word. He called on me when he was in trouble. He prob ably died calling for me. '-Washington | Star

Costly Etiuuette.

The latest pamphlet published by the commission of historical manuscripts in London contains the following interest ing and curious travesty on etiquette |: ''The Duke and Duchess of Norfolk, having been summoned to appear before the house of lords in 1692 in order to plead their suit for divorce, it was de- bated whether the lord chancellor, sit- ting as chairman, should lower his dig nifty by lowing to the duchess and speak ing to her only with his cap ill his hand This question was argued for several days in the house of lords until debate exhausted itself and several duels result ed. At length it was decided that the lord chancellor should first receive the bows of the duke and duchess and re- turn them with uncovered head and aft or that he should replace his cap." This rule was followed to the letter and is still adhered to today when similar con- GinpeuCies arise,

ln shutch of Sir William Martin Conway, the mountain climber and ex- ploItr of the Hlm malayas, The English Illustrated Magazine says that he has the t'climber's walk''-that is, a gen. tie roll of the body, with no unequal steps, but swinging his legs with rhyth- mic precision. He is a slim man, but tough, full of energy and with iron muscles. When climbing the Himala- yas, he spent 84 days on snow and gla- cier. During that time he traversed from end t. end the three longest known glaciers in the world outside the polar regions and landed on the summit of Pioneer peak, 22,00O feet high, the greatest height yet reached hy man.

The Horned Rattlesnako.

The oldest specimen of the snake family known to the American natural ist, not taking into consideration the two headed snake and other monstrosi- ties of that ilk, is the horned rattle snake, which up to a few years ago was thought to be one of the rarest as well as one of the most poisonous of serpents. Prior to the time when Dr. c. Hart Merriam made the famous Death valley exploring expedition, in 1892 8, but few specimens of it, and those mostly from the western desert regions, had been col lected. The Death valley explorers say that Death valley is literally alive with them. They have horns on top of their heads and are the smallest rattlers known. St. Louis Republic.

Moonlight and sunlight Compared.

The brightness of the moon is not so much greater than the same area of the sky, as is shown by Flammarion's ''ta- bles of relative amount of light :" The total light of the full moon is compared with the total light of the sun by M. Flammarion, but in way that it would be very hard task to reproduce it in a readable shape in an article adapted to this department. However, we will say that the great astronomers deduc- tions prove that we received as much light from the sun as could be emitted by 68O, ,O00 full moonsl

Property is the fruit of labor. Proper ty is desirable, is a positive good in the world. That some should be rich shows that others may become rich, and hence is encouragement to industry and enter prise.

The Pendleton East O'egonlan: At McMinnville, at recent meeting of the Bimetallc League, Samuel Brown, son of John Brown, of "soul goes march, ing on" fame, met William Booth, son of the Sheriff who hanged John Brown. As is the custom of all conventional in Oregon every delegate, and all delegates speak whether acquainted or not Several dele gates were going about introducing a rather handsome man of forty or there abouts, whom they called Mir. Booth, of McMinnville. They would say of him
 "Mr. Booth is the son of the Sheriff who hanged John Brown, of fOssawatomie, at Harper's Ferry"
 All of which caused people to take more than a common interest in Mir. Booth. Finally Mir. Booth was introduced to a man of excellent appearance, whose nae was Solomon Brown. After the in- troduction, Mir. Booth and Mr. Brown chatIered very plea antly for a minute or two.
 MT. Booth, said Mir. Brown. was it your father who hanged John Brown at Harper's Ferry ?"
 Yes" said MT Booth. He was Sheriff at that time, and it was his duty to ofIici- ate at the execution. No relative of ours l hope?"
 "Only my father" wassthe quiet reply.
