Dead to Her Family.

A Young HindOo girl, a convert 10
Methodism, has been on visit to Bos-
ton during the past few weeks. Her
name is Sooboonagam Animal, which
is shortened to Sooboo for purposes OF
friendly conversation.
Sooboo is particularly interesting
from the fact that she belongs to
high-caste family-a caste deemed su-
perior in India TO ordinary mortal asso-
citation. The girl heard the mission
preachers at first with contempt, but
she ended by running away from her
aristocratic home TO the mission and
said she had become a Christian In
leaving her gods behind her she left
also her jewels.
First the angry and desperate father
came to the mission and threatened to
put SoobOo's new friends In Jail for
kidnapping. The girl was produced
and elected to stay where she was.
/ The father went away uttering the
final word, "Outcastv which IS \ sent
ence Of death"
But soon the broken-hearted mother,
who never goes forth and whose visit
to the mission was contamination,
came and pleaded with Sooboo to re
turn to the home of those who had
reared her and loved her. The girl de
clared her love for her mother, but re-
fused to go back. Then came funeral
services, as Of on dead. The mother
called "accursed" because Of her Visit
to the mission, could not be present
but walked 1000 miles to the Rivel
Gauges and held mourning service
there. Then she came home and walled
I'D the door of SoobOO's room.

The custom of keeping h0rseshoes
for luck is said to have originated at
the time when in every home was the
picture of the patron saint. About the
head Of the saint was the distinguished
halo, which was frequently made Of
metal, sometimes the shape of a horse
shoe. When anything happened to the
picture the halo was kept and remained
fastened to the door, in order that the
saints influence might still prevail.
AS the bit of metal was the most sub
stantial part Of the picture it soon be-
came the custom to make a charm of
this part only, and the horseshoe fol
lowed logically as a prevention against
evil.

sins. When the project was first mem
toned It made stir in the world, but
there are thousands Of people living to-
day who do not know that the new ca
thedral Of Paris is in reality a gorgeous
penance.
The cathedral at Paris is a trihe larg-
er than that at Westminster, and the
indications are that It will be more
beautiful. But Paris has start OF
twenty years, and by that time London
may outstrip its rival Many churches
in England have been built on the brick
system. Children and adults are asked
to pay three halfpence or twopence for
a brick each week, and by that means
large sums have been raised The same
plan has been adopted in Paris for rails
ing the funds for the Church Of the
Sacred Heart, only, Of course, stones
were necessary instead of bricks. Big
subscribers have their names or their
initials on the stones which they have
subscribed.

him twelve dispatch buoys, each con-
tanning a sphere Of cork twenty cent?
meters in diameter, coated with thick
coat Of paint, partly blue and partly
yellow. At the upper portion was
copper stopper inscribed with the
words, "Andree's Polar Expedition,
1885," and a number. This stopper
closed cavity cut in the cork, to re-
ceiye a tube in which documents or
messages from the explorers were to
be inclosed. The buoys were to be
thrown out at different points Of the
voyage of the balloon. A thirteenth.
larger than the others, was to be left
at that point of the route that should be
nearest to the geographical pole that
could be reached by the balloon.
The explorer also took with him thir-
ty-two carrier pigeons. Some were ex-
pected to return to Danes Island,
where they had stayed for more than
a month, but it was feared they would
never return to Sweden, as from Spitz-
bergen alone they would have had to
travel a distance of nearly $500 kilo-
meters in order to find their dove cote.
From the pole to Sweden would be
$500 meters. Such a distance has, as
far as Is known, never been trayerseo
by carrier pigeons. After these means
Of conveying messages had been ex-
hausted Andree would naturally have
recourse to the familiar method of in
closure in bottles.

of Spitzbergen, killed a carrier pigeoI

AIR. Andree had been known san aer-
onaut for twenty years, but he was
something more than that. He was
theoretical mechanic, whose theories
were believed to be more sound than
any other mans in Sweden. He was
indeed more than a theorist-he had
accurate knowledge Of the practical
arts and inventions of his time. So
well were his knowledge and abilities
known that the Swedish government
appointed him chief engineer of the
patent office. These facts, being gen
orally in possession of the world public
strongly predisposed a large part OF
that public to believe that he would be
successful in his surprising aeronautic
undertaking. Nor was the idea of cross
ting to the pole in a balloon a new one.
1t was of French origin and first CON
eeived by Sivel, who in 1873 laid his
project before the French Society of
Aerial Navigation. But Sivel lost his
Hfe soon afterward In the accident to
the balloon Zenith. The project lay In
allegiance until 1890. when it was taken
up again by two Parislans-Hermite
and Besaneon-who submitted a plan
that was carefully and scientifically
thought out to the minutest detail, but
the means could not be raised to carry
the plan into even experimental effect
AR. Andree, however. carefully exam
tined it and compared his own with i
and studied the design for the balloon
that was not built.
Proudly and majestically the balloon
rose and Andree gazed with happy con
hdence on those who remained behind
and then he and his comrades waving
their caps. he cried out, Greetings a
home to Sweden"

a rather ingenious fashion: The beau
tiful Kan-Si, daughter Of a powerful
mandarin, was assisting at the feast
OF lanterns, whes she became over
powered by the heat and was COM
pelled TO take of her mask. As it was
against all rule and custom to expose
her face, she held her mask before it
and gently futtered it to cool herself.

movement. and in an instant 100 OF
them were waving their masks. From
