Dead to Her Family.

A young Hindoo girl, n convert to
Methodism, has been on visit to Bos-
ton during the past few weeks. Her
name is Sooboonagam Animal, which
is shortened to Sooboo Cor purposes, OF
friendly conversation.
Sooboo Is particularly interesting
from the fact that she belongs to a
high-caste family-a caste deemed SUI
perior In India to ordinary mortal usso'
citation. The girl heard the mission
preachers at first with contempt, but
she ended by running away from her
aristocratic home to the mission md
said she had become 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 4 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 hnd
reared her and loved her. The girl de-
clared her love for her mother, hut 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 River
Ganges and held mourning service
there. Then she came home and walled

Hors, 9 sioes for Luck.

The custom of keeping horseshoes
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.

picture the halo was kept and remained
fastened to the door, in order that the
saints influence might still prevail

HOW Fans Wero Invcn,ed.

The Following Chinese legend ac-
counts for the invention of the fan In
a rather ingenious fashion: The beau
tiful Kan-Si, daughter OF a powerful
mandarin, was assisting at the feast
of lanterns, when she became over
powered by the heat and was COM
PEELED to take Off her mask. As Il was
against all rule and custom to expose
her face, she held her mask before II
and gently auttered II to cool herself.
The court ladies' present noticed the
movement, and In an instant 100 OF
them were waving their masks. From
this incident, II Is said. came the birth
OF the fan, and to-day II takes tho
place OF the mask IN that country.

conducted In ships and looking to the
discovery Of the north pole.
Mr.. Andree had been known asanaer-
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
we'll 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 large part of
that public to believe that he would be
successful in his surprising aeronautic
undertaking. Nor was the idea Of cross
ing to the pole in balloon new one.
It was of French origin and first con-
ceived 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
6beyance until 1890, when 1t was taken
up again by two Parislans-Hermite
and Besancon-who submitted a plan
that was carefully and scientifically
thought out to the minutest detail, but
Che means could not be raised to carry
Che plan into even experimental effect.
Nr. Andree, however, carefully exam
ined 1t and compared his own with 1t
and studied the design for the balloon

Proudly and majestically the balloon
rose and Andree gazed with happy con-
fidence on those who remained behind,
and then he and his comrades. waving

Andree, when he started on his bal
loon voyage on July IL, 1897, took with

him twelve dispatch buoys, each con-
tanning sphere of cork twenty cent?
meters in diameter, coated with thick
coat Of paint, partly blue and partly
yellow. At the upper portion was a
copper stopper inscribed with the
words, "Andree's Polar Expedition,
1885," and number. This stopper
closed cavity cut in the cork, to re-
ceive 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 We're ex-
pected to return to Danes Island,
where they had stayed for more than
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 filo-
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 traversed
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.
Three days after starting seal hunt
er to the west of Phipps Island, north
of Spitzbergen, killed a carrier pigeon
which had come from Andree's balloon.
From the pigeon this message was
taken:

In each of the three great capitals of
the world splendid cathedral Is being
built. All of the gorgeous editices are
near completion, and for each it is
claimed that it will be 1.-THE finest in
the world" New York, London and
Paris are the cities to which reference
is made. The Episcopal cathedral of
St John the Divine in the first named
city will represent when finished an
expenditure of at least $1,000,O00 and
probably great deal more. The choir
alone of this beautiful structure would
be esteemed great architectural un-
dertaking. 1t is 154 feet long, 81 feet
wide and $50 feet from the floor to the
ridge of the roof, with seating capacity
for 1,500 persons. To support this six
granite piers have been built. These are
twenty-eight feet long by twelve feet
wide and twenty feet high, set on solid
beds of concrete averaging twenty feet
In depth. On these rests the floor of
the choir which is about thirty feet
above the level of Morningside drive.
Eight mammoth monolthic pillars,
next to the largest stones ever quar-
ried, are to surround three sides of the
altar. The stones have been taken

The cathedral at Paris Is a trifle larg-
er than that at Westminster, and the
Indications are that 1t 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.

WE ARE accustomed to laugh at the
primitive methods of Mexico, and yet
in more things than one the Mexicans
have developed better system than
we. For example with many of the
Mexican railroads and other similar
enterprises which require a large ex-
penditure of capital they grant u mo-
nopoly to private corporation for a
term OF years, on all the business they
can get for the building and are free
from government Intervention, At the
end OF the term the property of tbe
corporation and every right connected
with 1t reverts to the government
without the further payment Of
a cent. In this country we allow
corporations to enter business under
the theory that they are to be "reGula-
ted" by the State and hold their prop
erty always. In theory 1t seems all
right butin practice they simply have
monopoly and fix their rates at what
the traffic will bear. Through the sys.
TEN of watering stocks, any attempt ia
reduce charges is declared by the
courts to be con6scation, and in effect
when corporation is granted charter
1t is granted a perpetual monopoly.

The loyalty OF the Iowa democrats
In their platform last week is q
rather hopeful sign, Yet the vote was
close enough to not make 1t very reas-
surfing. The silver question was not
mentioned except in u general reaillr-
nation of the Kansas City platform,
But that is sufficient, 1t is in fact all
that MI Bryan and his friends wish,
So long as tho gold output continues as
large as II has been for the last few
years the silver question cannot be
made paramount. However the money
question including the banking laws
and currency circulation should always
occupy prominent place in the plat
form. The Iowa convention shows
some progress along other lines. The
principal issue 10 railroad taxation and
municipal ownership came in for con-
sideration. This Is all In the right d.
rectlon and indicates that Iowa demo-
Gratis are quite likely to remain right.
They are making issues with the re-
publicans. The eastern democrats In
their plans and declarations are in
fact doing nothing but declaring that
the democrats have been wrong for
four years and the republicans have
been right.
