MYRTLE Stanley.

The Journal prints this week the conclud.
ing chapters of the story by Mrs. S. J.
Stevens, concerning which word Or two of
explanation may be in order. The first and
second chapters were written by Mrs.
Stevens sister, Nellie c. Dyer, just before
her death. She was graduate of the Maine
Central Institute, and in her junior year
won the "Manson Prize" for the best origi-
nal story, which, with several articles from
her pen, appeared in the Boston Morning
Star. 1t was predicted that had she lived
"she would have been brilliant light in
the literary world" After graduation she
taught school in Lewiston until her health
failed. She died of consumption in April,
1884, at the home of her stepfather in Unity.
Mrs. Stevens says in a note to the editor Of
The journal: Her part in this story was
only the beginning of what was intended to
fill volume. 1t was her first rough copy,
and she would no doubt have made many
changes before submitting it for publca-
ton. was requested to finish it; but what
have written cannot be called story. 1t

Boston, Mass The old saying that many
hands make light work demonstrated itself
on this occasion, as at an early hour the
served. At $50 the ladies set the tables for a
picnic supper, and IS people, old and young,
sat down to bounteous repast of baked
beans, chicken, pies and cakes of ditferant
varieties; in fact, all the good things that go
to make up a first class meal. At some
time the ladies must have read, or heard,
that the road to mans heart was through

crowd. When appetites were appeased,
neighbor Gilmore produced his violin and
Lew Strout his banjo, and with mirth and
music the hours flew by as though on wings.
As the strains of music swept through the
rooms the old folks forgot their rheumatics
and attempted to keep pace with the young
ladies and gentlemen. Once again they
went through the mazes of Boston Fancy,

CITIES SPEND HUGE SUMS.
Municipalities the World Over EN-.
gage In Enormous Public
Improvements.

In no previous period of the worlds
history have so many cities been busy
at the same time with extensive and
costly public enterprises. The daily
reader of the news of all countries
cannot fail to have noticed that tie
closing years of the nineteenth CEN
tury and the opening year of the TWEEN
tieth have been marked by the Begin
ming or the continuance Of municipal
undertakings the total cost of which
will amount to hundreds of millions of
dollars, says the New York Tribune.
In London and Paris and in other cap
itals of Europe local railways, under
ground and on the surface, are in
course of construction or win be begun
at an early date. The tendency to inn
prove the facilities for local transpor-
tation is widespread and seems now to
have become irresistible in many quar-
ters. Progressive communities with
ample resources and conspicuous for
popula tion and advancement are en-
tering upon notable tasks for the bene-
fit of their citizens and of strangers
within their gates.
Rapid transit is watchword and
rallying cry both in the eastern and
western hemispheres. and armies OF
wage-earners are toiling in subways,
on elevated roads and on the street
levels in dozens and scores Of we'll
known places here and abroad. But.
the principal cities of the globe are
concerned with other great works
than those which will effect the swift
distribution of hosts of passengers.
Schemes for the construction of new
docks and piers on the most ambitious
scale, for the deepening and broaden
ing of harbor channels and for the
opening of wider avenues of commerce
and trade in the best-known ports of
| various countries are more numerous
and are planned on more generous
| lines than in any former era. And the
provision Of more abundant supplies
| of water for cities which consume
huge quantities is drawing millions
upon millions of dollars from munich
pal treasures in the United States and
| in other countries.

Some of the accidents which happen
to peoples skulls are very remark
able. One of these on exhibition is a
complete wreck, the whole top of it
being smashed to pieces as the result
of an encounter between two negroes
who fell to butting each other. One
of them was young while the other
was old. The old mans head was
crushed in, killing him, the Uranium
being much thinner in old age than in
youth, the bone wasting gradually,
like the rest of the body. The same
thing is true of all the bones. There
are some Peruvian skulls in the
museum obtained from ancient mum
mics, which show signs Of trepanning
during life and of subsequent recov.
cry. These are of extraordinary in
terast, because it is thus known that
