Truth About "srary Anderson"

A friend and neighbor of Mary
Anderson (now Mrs. Navarro), who is
living in the quaint old town of Broad
way, England, which described in a
letter to the Chicago Record last sum-
mer, tells me that there is no truth
in the yarn that has been going the
rounds of the newspapers about the
operatic ambition of that beautiful
woman, writes w. E. Curtis. The
story is that, her ambition for dramatic
donors having been satiated, she
aspires to the operate stage, and is
taking lessons from prominent COM
poser in London with view to an ap-
pearance in italian opera next year
Every yarn has it's foundation, of
course, but all there is to this one was
Mrs. Navarro's appearance on the con
cert stage about two months ago at a
benefit given for young lady friend.
The latter was in sad circumstances,
and Mrs. Navarro, who does not pre-
tend to be a musical artist, but sings
a ballad sweetly, consented to appear,
because she was told that her fame
was sure to make the concert sue
cess, and the predictions in that
respect were fully realized. All Lon
don went wild over her singing, and
the receipts at the box Office were so
large as to place the beneficiary be-
yond all possible distress. Miss
Anderson sang twice, selecting two
simple and familiar English songs
which are suitable to her voice, but
not such as would have been selected
by a professional. The only instruc-
tions she received were a few sugges-
tions from the young lady who played

Five or six years ago bangles were
worn and now the craze is on again.
Get out all you have, polish them up
and put them on. Never mind what
kind they may be-coin bangles, snake
bangles, chains with lock and key.
Some girls had them welded on and
wore them night and day, much to
their own discomfort. But they did
not mind little thing like that if it
were only stylish. Now it is the
fashion.
All the girls returning from Europe
wear many bangles. In the shop
windows one may see the plain, heavy
silver and gold bands, such as are
worn in India, as well as the broad
leather band, with small watches set
in them, and known as "watch ban
gles."
Bracelets one never sees, they are
questionable, but sooner or later
they will have their day once more.
One of the new ideas in this line is q
bracelet worn high up ON the arm,
with little clasp on each side, one to
hold the long glove and one to catch
the puff that answers for a sleeve in
the prevailing evening dress. These
are only made to order, and are often
richly set with gems. They are not
kept in stock, as every woman has
some pretty conceit Of her own, and
will frequently bring her own design
for clasp, selecting, of course, her
own jewel for the setting. AS that is
a charming place to show off pretty
bit of jewelry, set with gems, those
that have been made were quite hand
some, while they were also desirable
for holding in place the shoulder
length glove. which has a trick of
slipping down out of place.

Hath for the biennial period
ending December 81, 1897 that
two cases Of leprosy have been
cured?
"If so, is it true as reported
that only three months treat
ment was necessary to produce
the cure?
eff it is true as reported that
out of twelve cases of leprosy
treated, two of the cases were
cured and another showed mark
ed Improvement with only three
months treatment, why is not the
same treatment being administer
ed now?
"Did DIR. Alvarez report the
cases of the two cures to the Ber-
lin Conference, and if not, why
not?
"If he did so report, what WAS
the opinion of the Berlin Con
ference?
Are not the two cures report
ed the only cases on record
where leprosy has been cured ?
Was the treatment continued
after the three months stated with
the boy who SHOWED marked i'm
provement,' and if not, why not ?
When were the two persons
above referred to sent to Molokai
and by whom were they examined
before being sent there ?

sent to Molokai, who are not lep
ers, and who were not lepers when
sent there ?"

about one-half have no employment
and more than one-third are unable to

number of pupils to the illiterate and
the unemployed is most significant

pie. Outside Of the large cities. both

education is limited to short, ana more

instruction; hence the percentage Of il
literacy is much larger than it should
be in comparison with the percentage

can be no doubt but that Ignorance has
been the bane Of the Spanish life and

CLEARING DECK FOR ACTION.

What Disposition rs to Ee Made of
the Boats.
Clearing away all deck hamper for
action is the question. What is to be-
come Of the ships boats which hang
on davits fore and aft? In case of Sc
rious action every boat would become a
source of grave danger, says Chambers
Journal. If an enemy's shot struck any
one of them (and they are in such
exposed positions that they must in
evitably be struck, the splinters of
wood and iron would carry death and
destruction to the guns crews and 9TH
ers on deck. The scattering fragments,
too, would be almost worse than the
bursting shell. It could not be hoped
that, after an engagement of half an
hour, there would be single boat left
that could float, and meantime their
presence would have added heavily to
the already inevitable loss of life in
action. So speedily has this been rec
ognized that many naval officers of ex-
perience have it in their minds that,
if they were called upon to engage, they
would drop their boats over the ships
side and let them drift. When the ac-
ton was over victorious ship could
then cruise round the place where it
had been fought and take the chance
"a reasonably good one) Of picking up

In Greenland the killing Of a polar
bear is considered by the Eskimo hum
ter as the most distinguished Of all
.feats, especially in the Northern In
spectorate. In the south the bear is
driven, if possible, into the water,
where he is killed by a hunting lance
or gun from the kayak, or skin boat,
which holds a single man and is man
aged with wonderful dexterity.
# In the North, Brlin would escape
from the slow-footed native if it were
not for his pack Of bowling and excited
dogs that pursue the bear with extra
ordinary eagerness. Although the rule
is to bite and jump back.eye many a
dog falls victim to his erboldness.
Eventually the baited and hunted bear
seeks the summit of some iceberg,
where he falls an easy prey to the
hunter. -

bear stigmatized as coward, no more

A Popularity of Lake Superior.

It is very frequently the case that
persons who are drowned rise to the
surface within a short time, but it is
said, and the tradition runs back to
the days Of the earliest settlers, that
whoever goes down to death in the.
waters of this great lake must remain
there forever. There is no record Of a
body rising once it has reached the
rock-covered bottom OF this large sheet
of water. Several reasons are assigned
for this fact, none Of which, however,
have any real scientific basis. It is
claimed that the water is. so cold that
gases do not generate in the bodies Of
the dead; others say that the forms
settle among the rocks and are held
fast by under currents. Be that as it
may, Lake Superior never gives up it's
dead.
