gears missionary in Liberia under the
M. E. Church from the training schooi
in Chicago. After her return she stud
led nursing, graduating from the pres
ent Frances L. Willard National rem
perance Hospital of Chicago. She is an
enthusiastic friend of Pe-ru-na, as is
evident from the following letter:
Chicago, H., Jan. 20, 1899.

variety theater Just now three ele-
plants play nightly at sl:ittles, in an
astonishing and vastly entertaining
fashion. One sets up the pieces, one

up the score on a blackboard. Rarely
has there been seen anything so eX-
duisitely funny as the long, long aim
taken by the bowler before he finally
hurls the ball. Like golfer address

Germany and Switzerland produce
over 2, 100000 glass eyes in a year; and
a Paris manufacturer. with a reputa-
ton for finer work, some 100000. They
are made in the shape of n hollow
hemisphere, and the utmost skill is re-
quired in forming the pupil out of the
colOred glass. The great majority OF
artificial eyes are used 10y workmen,
especially those in iron foundries,
where many eyes are put out by
sparks. 1t is seldom that woman has

How like the sea, the myriad minded

Is this large love OF ours; SO vast, SO
deep.
SO full of mysteries! 1t, too, can keep
Its secrets, like the ocean, and Is free,
Free as the boundless main. Now it

And break in fullness of their ecstasy.

Curious Postal system

In certain parts of Sweden, where
the most absolute confidence is re-
posed in the honesty of the people, a
very informal postal service is in
vogue AS the mail steamer reaches a
landing place. n man goes ashore with
the letters, which he places in an un-
locked box on the pier. Then the pass
er-by who expects letter opens the
box, turns over the letter and selects
his own, unquestioned by anybody.
