SHE GOES TO INDIA.
A BRILLIANT GIRL TO WORK

Miss Rose Fairbank q Talented Young
Woman Returns 20 the Land of Her
Birth After Receiving An American

Early in the present month there
sailed from New York en- route to
India, young medical missionary of
great promise. Miss Rose Fairbank, the
traveller in question. was born in In
dia and comes of very distinguished
missionary family. She is the daugh-
ter of the late Rev. Samuel b. Fair
bank, d. D., long associated with the
Mahratta Mission of the A. b. C.. F.
NJ, and granddaughter of the late Rev.
Henry Ballantine of the same mission.
Rev. Henry Fairbank and Rev. Ed
ward Fairbank, both of the same mis-
sion, are her brothers. and Mrs. Hume,
wife of the Rev. Edward A. Hume of
Ahmednagar, is her sister. Mr.. Hume
is one of the leading members of the
1nterdenominational Committee, which
has done such splendid service in the
great field of India relief work. DIR.
Fairbank was mere child when her
mother died, and the little missionary
of the future was sent to this country
and reared in the home of an elder
sister, the wife of the Rev. Robert
Woods of Hatfield, Mass. She studied
at Smith College, Massachusetts. where
she graduated with the diploma of
A. B. She took the full medical course
at Johns Hopkins University, Balti-
more. She now goes out to the India
field under special appointment by the
Woman's Board of Missions in New
York to be connected with the Mary
Ackerman Hoyt Memorial Hospital at
Jhansi, in the Northwest provinces. Dr.

for American newspapers, whose read

Nomans Land or Nantucket, were in

April, 1900 These fish were placed in
the well not later than November Is,
possibly some days before. During
this time they had not been fed and
had only such food as came through
the holes in the well. When released
in Gloucester harbor on April 16 they
were found to be lively and strong, al

was noticed that their backs and sides

spain's Queer Law Prevents Rescue of
Royalty from Peril.

Royalty from Peril.
There is a Spanish law that no sub
ject shall touch the person of the king
or queen. Alfonso Kill, king of
Spain, nearly suffered severe fall
from this rule in his childhood. An
aunt gave him swing. When he
used it for the first time the motion
frightened him. and he began to cry,
whereupon a lackey lifted him quietly
out of it, and so, no doubt. prevented
him from falling. The breach of eti-
quette. however. was fragrant and
dreadful. The queen was obliged to
punish it by dismissing the man from
his post At the same time she show
ed her real feelings on the subject by
appointing him Immediately to an
other and better place in the royal
household. In another case queen OF
Spain nearly lost her life in a dreadful
way owing to this peculiar rule. She
had been thrown when out riding. and,
her foot catching in the stirrup, she
was dragged. Her escort would not
risk interference, and she would have
been dashed to pieces but for the
heroic interposton of young man,
who stopped the horse and released
her from her dangerous position. As
soon as they saw she was safe, her
escort turned to arrest the traitor who
had dared to touch the queens foot
but he was not to be seen. Knowing
well the penalty he had incurred. he
made off at once-fled for his life
and did not stop until he had crossed
the frontier.-,Answers
