trees and shrubbery. Ihe sun seemed
particularly bright on this occasion,
as four young ladies, with all the at
tendant glory of Easter hats and fin
cry, entered q carriage. One of them
carried a guitar in a green cloth case,
another had a music-roll, while the
other two were empty-handed. Down
q cross street they were driven till
they found themselves opposite a low
two-storied wooden house, sadly in
need Of paint, the door of which bore
a plate saying "The Good Samaritan
Children's Hospital"
Cheap tenements and small strug-
Cling shops were jumbled together in
a composite group which completely
shut out the sunlight, and seemed to
be slowly squeezing the hospital build
ing out of shape. The arrival of the
carriage brought a veritable army Of
small, ragged. dirty, noisy children
te the hospital steps, and several of
the older classes, with u~ndisguised
curiosity, watched the girls pass up
the steps and disappear inside. The
ringing of a very thin-voiced, cracked
doorbell was responded to by a sweet
faced, plump little woman of about
fifty. who Immediately exclaimed, joy
ously:
"Ah. my dear young ladiesl Have
you really come? I hardly thought
the association was in earnest when
they said some musicians would be
here to-day. Come right into our poor
little parlor. Take care and don't tf4p
On that doorsill. Now lay off your
wraps. My! Won't the dear little
souls be delighted to hear you've
really come! I haven't told them you
were really expected; I didn't want to
get their little hearts too ~expectant
till I was sure you were coming. So I
told them that sometimes. on Easter
morning, the angels sang beautiful
music, and that maybe they would
hear them before long if they kept
zeal quiet"
"And have they been particularly
quietg' asked Grace for the sake Of
something to say; for the good woman's
Joy and whole-souled pleasure had
Just a little touch of pathos in it that
was fast raising sad havoc with the
girls desire to be cheerful.
"Why, bless you, yes. They've
been just as quiet as MICE" replied
the matron. cts pretty hard for
we'll children to be quiet, to say moth
ing of little sufferers like ours. Come
this way; now, and we'll soon have
many a little face smiling that hasn't
smiled for weeks" And she hustled
off down the hallway and up a flight
of very crooked, narrow, creaky stairs,
which. however, were scrupulously
clean.
They entered the ward and found
four chairs. The room was dreadfully
low-studded, with little stingy, tiny
paned windows. The air was hardly
endurable to the girls, who were fresh
from the outdoor sweetness IS of the
spring, but at last they started out on

Mail by Aerial Tram.

That American ingenuity is capable
OF devising NEAR to overcome APP
parently insurmountable obstacles is
proved by the method adopted to
supply mail to the little town of Snug
gler, in mountainous Colorado. The
mail is carried over a tramway, oper-
ated by a mining company, from
Telluride. The pouches are securely
locked in a steel bucket twenty-four
by thirty-two inches, and conveyed a
distance Of one mile, to an elevation
of over three thousand feet, in six
teen minutes, and landed with per-
feet safety at the door of the Snug
gler postofice, which is located among
the clouds.
This arrangement is perfect in
every particular, and can be operated
successfully every day in the year;
whereas it would be almost impossible
to carry the mail on horseback up the
steep mountain trail during the win
ter season, on account of frequent
snowslides.

Hax Consula Ara Made.

following will illustrate n
way Of appointing a consul, says
George F.. Parker, in the Atlantic.
Early in the present administration,
the Republican members of Congress
from q Western State of Importance
met and preferred claims to q consul
for each district; all to be appointed
upon the formal recommendation OF
the United States Senators. They
did not pick ont individual posts, with
. man of special fitness for each; both
Congressman and candidates knew
their business too well to make it
other than q wholesale job. The can
didates were chosen at random, ac-
cording to personal influence, or party
Importance, or the relative value of
the places. At last every district save
one had it's representative abroad. In
this one. every plan short of advertis-
ing had been tried, for more than a
year, to get q man for a small place in
France. Finally, a lawyer in a remote
village agreed to accept it. He was
nominated, confirmed, and sailed for
his post, without any notice whatever
to his predecessor, from the Presi-
dent or the Department, of his ap-
pointment. His arrival, with COM
mission and order for possession, was
the first notice to an incumbent whose
retention had been promised. The
new official had probably not thought
of France since he recited his geogra-
ply lesson thirty years before in some
district school. while his manner gave
the impression that he had first heard
the name of the town to which he had
come, when appointed as its consul.

Why, You poor, dear little martyr"
said Grace, tenderly, as she leaned
over him. ssWhat makes him fret sop
she asked Of the nurse.
We can't seem to find any way Of
amusing him, or even make him
smile," said the nurse. "He doesn't
seem to care for dolls, iumping-iacks,

amusement. He's been here four
weeks and has never stopped fretting.

Edith. He seem to be looking at

But no. The instrument had no
fascination for him, even though
Grace leaned down and gently vibrated
the strings before him. AS she did SO,
to the added bewilderment of the
rest, he raised two little red, per.
spring arms toward her and laughed
louder than before.
He wants you to kiss him, Grace
said Nellie, decisively.
"No, no. interrupted the nurse.

Nothing is more difficult to keep clean and sweet
than a nursing bottle. Yet if it is not thoroughly cleaned,
the particles of milk adhering to it become rancid and
affect the health of the infant. No trouble will arise
from this cause, if, after using the bottle, it is first
rinsed in cold water, then filled with warm Ivory Soap
suds and let stand for half an hour, and then well rinsed.
The vegetable oils of which Ivory Soap is made fit it for many speds
uses Tor which other soaps ar unsafe or unsatisfactory.

NEW YORK, April ia dispatch to
The Tribune from London says: The
vacuum created by the shrinkage of
war news is filed with dispatches far
afleld and with political rumors and
gossip. The Times publishes the text
Of letter from the ameer Of Afghan
istan commenting upon British indiffer-
ence to Russian aggression, and con-
veying the significant hint to the In
dian government that the present is the
time for deeds, not for talk. The thor
oughly entertained opinion in diplo-
matte circles is that Russia will not
take advantage of the British situation
in South Africa, but will wait until the
end of the war, or until the timo comes
for the division of Portuguese territory
in South Africa, between Germany and
England. Russia will then offset the
British and German gains in this terri
tory by ordering an advance Oh Herat

London Nswspapers Add Their Structures
ss Those Of Lord Roberts.
LONDON. April 19.-1:56 p. m.-Lord
Roberts criticisms Of General Butler,
General Warren and Colonel Thorny-
croft continue topics Of acute interest.
All the afternoon papers comment at
length on the structures of the British
commander.in.chief in South Africa,
taking the same lines as the morning
papers. praising Lord Roberts for his
hankness and speculating uron what
the publication of the dispatch at the
present moment portends.
Some of them maintain there is moth.
ing left for General Butler but to re-
Sign. The St. James Gazette is partic-
ularly scathing. Referring to General
Buffers report, it says:
Never In the history Of armies did it
happen that generals scribbled their
confessions of failure and defeat, of
useless deaths of men and Of discredit
to the flag in manner which suggests

ularity Of Funnyman, the slangy chat.

renton, dated Tuesday, April II, says:
"Nnding the Beers busy making new
trenches, we exploded lyddite shells,

From Wepener there is nothing later
than Lord Roberts message of Tuesday,
and presumably neither side has gained
any particular advantage at any point
in the theatre of war since the last Of
flcial dispatches were received.
It is persistently stated in military
circles that N Lieutenant General Sir
, I Charles Warren, the cnnnInaiide der of the
