HETTY GREEN AT WORK.

cat the farthest crd OF the
long, narrow ROOM, over In a cor
uer 10y u window, in the Chemical
Bank, New York, Hetty Green,
The Bichest Woman in America,
has hcr desA, WritcS Leigh
Mitchell Hodges, in the june La
dies Home journal. "WheA the
dozens OF bOohEcopors conc and
take their places they form q hu-
man screen, behind which she is
completely hidden. When any
one calls To see hor-aud she sees
most of those who do call-She
comes to the brass grating near
the assistant cashiers desk and
carries on the conversation as If
she were Il prisoner behind gold
en- bars. She never opens the
little door. All day long she is in
and out of the bank. Sometimes
she carries a little satchel in
which valuable papers are stow
ed. Frequently she is recognized
by one in the long line of depos-
itors. Then there is whispered
word on the part of that one, and
a line Of heads is turned to watch
her until she walks out of the
door. But her plain dress and
! heavy veil serve well their pur-
pose, and it is not often that she
is recognized. If she has time at
noon she stops in any restaurant
convenient to where she is and
hurriedly eats little. If not, she
goes without that little. There is
no lull in her day until after dark.
She is always among the last to
leave the bank, and among the
first to be there of mornings. "

How A Missionary Learned To
PlOw.

"It requires a peculiar talent to
be a good farmer, and much in
tellectuality to grasp the details
and learn the methods, says Rev.
Cyrus Townsend Brady, in the
June Ladies' Home Journal. 81

forced the share through the
earth by my unaided efforts-at
least, | could not see that the
horses did anything particular
except to keep ahead-although
sometimes the implement took
long bounds over the surface, so
that when my row was finished
it looked like succession of dots
and dashes. The farmer was
dying with laughter at my red
face and blistered hands, so l felt
my religious influence over him
would be gone until l learned
how to do it, which [ presently

DRIVING TO THE LEFT

n Though | knew from expert
ence that keeping to the left was
the rule of the road in England, +"
observed q well known horseman,
81 did not know that the rule
prevailed in Canada until week
before last, when l took short
drive on the outskirts of Toronto.
[ have been a horseman for many
years, and know the rules of the
road pretty well, but | had con-
siderable difficulty to keep out
of trouble there, assure you.
ga friend loaned me a nice
turnout, which had rather a free
stopper in harness. AT the first
turn out | naturally turned to
the right in passing. The man l
met was pretty well fixed, also,
in the way of a horse, and the
first thing | knew we came to-
gether in splash-bang style, the
result of it being that | lost a
wheel and got pitched out into
the road. I supposed, of course,
that he would turn to the right
aud he supposed, for similar rea-
sons, for he thought from the
kind of horse that | was driving
that 1 knew what l was about,
that l would turn to the left. Mu-
tual explanations followed, but l
was the looser in the transaction,
for felt obliged to have the mis-
hap fixed up at my expense.
can American driving in Can
ada is, as consequence, in one
worry, for it matters not how
clever one is with the reins it is
extremely hard to unlearn the
rules whichobtain in this country
of keeping to the right. The
Canadians have an argument to
prove that they are right in the
matter, and that keeping to the
left,is much safer in the way of
preventing collisions on the road,
but l could not understand it,
and three days later l had a sim
liar trouble happen in Quebec,
though in that case it was the
other team that got the worst of
it. Still it was just as annoying
to me, though not as expensive.
"It is the same thing with foot
passengers and bicycles, and the
American wheelmen have a hard
time in consequence of it, collisions
being frequent, and in some in
stances, very dangerous. The
Canadians may be right about it,
but just the same, no American
can ever get it in his head thor
oughly that they are. The Cana
dians drive from the right side
of the team as we do, and the
whip socket is on the right. But
all the rest of it is to the left. -

Use Starch for Washing Colored
Fabrics.

There is nothing so safe and so
satisfactory for washing colored
goods, both light and dark, as
starch Make gallon of thick
starch with half a cupful Of rice
or cornstarch, and four quarts of
water. Add two gallons of tepid
water to three-fourths of the
starch, and the same amount of
water to the remaining fourth.
Wash the garment in the thickest
starch-water, then wash in the
next starch-water. Rinse in
clear water, dry in the shade,
sprinkle, and iron on the wrong
side.-June Ladies' Home Jour

Washington Visited by a Chief
From Alaska.


Washington has had a visitfrOm
a unique parsonage. This novel
sightseer is a famous Alaskan
chief, the head of the Taku tribe.
His name is Johnson, or Yash-
Nosh, as lie is more commonly
called by the natives.
The chief is the first Alaskan
notable who has ever made the
journey from the Northwest
coast to the capital. He brought
Il variety of gifts for the Presi-
dent in the shape of baskets
worked by the native women of
his tribe, and other rare orua-
ments and carvings executed in
true Indian style.
Chief Johnson's special mis-
sion, however, was to lay before
the President some grievances
which his people have suffered
owing to the influx of newcom-
ers, who have, they say, unlaw-
fully taken possession OF the land.
Now the chief asks from the
great ruler of the pale-faced ma
tion increased territory in re-
turn.
Chief Johnson has discarded
his odd and picturesque uniform
and now appears in suit of
"store clothes" and military cap.
His native costume, used on state
and ceremonial occasions, is made
up of fine bear skins and robes,
over which is worn the famous
Chilkat blanket, made from the
wool of the Alaskan mountain
goat. On the blanket are woven
hundreds of designs embodying
NEUROLOGICAL emblems and crests
of his family and tribe.
A ceremonial cane full of totem
carvings is held in his hand; a
high, bell-shaped hat, tapering
to the end, is worn over a pecu-
liar style of headdress. This
consists of hair twisted into a
large protruding plait, which ex-
tends six inches or SO from the
head.
His tribe now numbers 300
and occupies strip of the main
land near Juneau, and was in
former times one of the most
warlike tribes.
Chief Johnson is Familiarity
known to most Alaskan travellers
from his exhibition of Taku war
riors and dancers, which is held
in tent near the landing at Ju-
neau. The show is maintained
especially for the tourists during
the summer season and is given
Immediately after the arrival of
the excursion steamer.
The chiefs ancestral home,
which is only occupied by him
and his numerous relatives dur
ing the winter season, is some
distance from Juneau. 1t is one
of the finest specimens of old
time habitations in Alaska, while
its three huge and grotesque to-
TEN poles give it an ideal abor-
iginal setting, seldom seen nova
days.

In certain parts Of Africa it is
considered amark of disrespect
to bury out of doors at all. Only
slaves are treated in such un-
ceremonious fashion. The hon
ored dead are buried under the
floor of the houses.
The children of the poor in
Japan are always labeled, in case
they should stray away from
their homes while their mothers
are engaged in domestic duties.

IMAGINATION AND DISEASE.

In a Journalists Notebook,
Frank f.. Moore tells an amusing
aud significant story of the inhu-
ence of imagination on health. A
young civil servant in India, feel.
ing tagged from the excessive
heat and from long hours of work
consulted the best doctor within
reach. The doctor looked him o.
yer, sounded his heart and lungs,
and then said gravely: I will
write you tomorrow. "
The next day the young man re-
ceived a letter telling him that
his left lung was gone, and his
heart seriously affected, and adj
vising him to lose no time in adj
justing his business affairs. "Of
course, you may live for weeks, !"
the letter said, "but you had best
best not leave important matters
undecided. "
Naturally the young official was
dismayed by so dark a prognosis
nothing less than a death war
rant. Within twenty four hours
he was having difficulty with his
respiration and was seized with
an acute pain in the region of his
heart. He took to his bed with
the feeling that he should never
arise from it, During the night
he became somuch worse that his
servant sent for the doctor.
"What on earth have you been
doing to YOURSELF" demanded the
doctor. 'There was no indica-
tions of this sort when I saw you
yesterday"
"It is my heart, l suppose" :"
weakly answered the patient.
"Your heart!" repeated the
doctor. "Your heart was all
right yesterday"
"My lungs, then"
"What is the matter with you,
man! You don't seem to have
been drinking"
"Your letter." gasped the pa
tient. "You said I had only a
few weeks to live"
care you crazy?" said the doc
tor. 81 wrote you to take few
weeks vacation in the hills and
you would be all right"
For reply the patient drew the
letter from under the bedclothes
and gave it to the doctor.
'EIeavens!" cried that gentle
man, as he glanced at it. "This
was meant for another man. My
assistant misplaced the letters. Z"
The young man at once sat up
in bed and made rapid recovery.
And what of the patient for
whom the direful prognosis was
intended? Delighted with the re-
port that a sojourn in the hills
would set him right, he started at
once, and five years later was
alive and in fair health. h.-Youth's
Companion.
