A young lady resident of the northwest
section Of the city last summer sent some
magazine clippings to an army lieutenant
stationed in the far away Philippine archi-
pelago, AT the time OF mailing the pack
age the sender was visiting a friend at
Fort Slocum, New York. Upon receipt of
the clippings the young officer penned
letter OF acknowledgment, addressed the
letter to the care OF the friend at Fort
Slocum, with whom the young lady was
staying, but before the arrival OF the let
ter from Manila to its destination at Fort
Slocum the Washington lady had returned
to her home and her hostess had gone on a
visit to her parents in California, directing
that her mail be forwarded to her at San
Francisco. The postmaster at Fort Siocum,
New York, acting upon this advice, for
warded the Manila letter with others. In
tunity to go to the Philippines, sailed be-
fore the arrival of her forwarded New
York mail, leaving word that all letters,
ETC., be remailed to her address in Manila.
Among the letters so forwarded under new
Washington lady. Upon receipt of the lat
ter, among other mail, the lady, now a
guest in Manila, reinclosed and started the
much Travelled letter back on its second
trip TO the United States, readdressed to
her friend in Washington. Upon its ar
rival here last week the young lady was
again absent from the city, visiting friends
in Virginia, and the package was again re-
addressed and mailed to her from her home
here. She returned to the city last Sun
day evening, and in summing up the dis

EMERSON AND THE CRANKs.

In nothing was his soundness of nature,
his health Of mind, more evident than in
the delicacy with which he protected him.
self from the intimacy of some who were
eager to gain some personal possession OF
his thought, and the gentle persistency
with which he held unbalanced people at
distance and kept himself clear of all rash
attempts to bring in the millennium prema-
turely.
Hawthorne has given us a characteristic
report Of the strange folk to be met In
Concord in the days OF the ''newness: Ii
was necessary to go but little way be-
yond my threshold before meeting with
stranger moral shapes of men than might
have been encountered elsewhere in a Cir
colt of a thousand miles. These hobgoblins
of flesh and blood were attracted thither
by the wide-spreading influence of great
original thinker, who had his earthly abode
at the opposite extremity of our village.
His mind acted upon other minds OF a GER
tain constitution with wonderful magnet
ism. and drew many men upon long pill
grimages to speak with him face to face.
Young Missionaries, to whom just so much
insight had been impaired as 10 make life
all a labyrinth around them, came to seek
the clew that should guide them out or
their self-involved bewilderment. Gray
headed theorists whose systems, at first
air, had finally imprisoned them in an iron
framework, travelled painfully to his door,
not to ask deliverance, but TO invite the
free spirit into their own thraldom."
No one will ever know the annoyanceS,
perplexities and dangers OF Emerson's po-
sition; what every one does know is that he
never fell a victim to the countless illu-
sions, decisions and unbalanced dreams in
which reproachful and perhaps impertinent
followers, who misread his leading, en-
deavored to involve him. The foremost
idealist Of the new world, he rendered in
calculable service to the cause he had at
heart by holding 1t clean and clear above
the touch of fanaticism, impracticable ex-
pertinent, and the bitterness Of the ego
tistical reformer. If he had committed the
fortunes of idealism to a disastrous ven-
ture, the loss to the youth of America
would have been irreparable

WHERE PEOPLE COURT DEATH.
A Far Northern Folk Who Have Some
Strange Customs.
Waldemar Bogoras. In Harper's Magazine,


Persons suffering from some incurabe
Illness, and especially old men and women
weakened with age, often proclaim their
wish to be killed by their nearest relatives.
Then the sons or the nephews, who other
wise are kind and dutiful to their elders,
unwillingly, with the request. No retrac-
ton is permissible, since such an announce
ment is considered as promise of human
sacrifice 10 the evil spirits. If taken back.
the revenge of the spirits on the whole
family will be incurred.
II know of a case where a man, after
violent quarrel with his five sons, an
nounced aloud his wish to die. The next
tracted his words; but-so L was informed
in all seriousness-the revengeful spirits
shortly afterwards inflicted the hoof dis
ease on his herd, and took away three of his
sons, one after another
Usually, however, the man who has pro-
claimed his wish to die remains firm until
the end. / met in 1895, at the Anui fair in
the kolyma country, man by the name
of Katik. who said that he wanted to get
rid of the troubles of this world. He had
no apparent illness, but his zest for life
had completely vanished, and he intended
10 start for the land Of his forefathers. He
was as eager for death as IL ii meant for
him a pleasant journey 10 a distant but
very interesting country. The vicinity of
the Russian fort was no place for the full
fillment of his wish, so he had to DELAY IL
for a couple of months; but when next L
met Katiks wife, early In the fall, she was
already a widow. She told me the details
of her husbands death in a very simple
way. He was strangled with lasso. She
held his head In her lap, and two Of his
sons pulled the ends OF the rope Katiks
wife told me also that he was cheerful to
the last, and even joked the very moment
his face was being covered with the hood
of the death-coat 10 prevent those present
from seeing his last struggle.
