The oriainaI New EnaIand.

Not one man in a thousand living on
the Pacific coast knows that as a mat
ter of fact the accents of our mother
tongue were heard on the beach not
far from San Francisco forty-one years
before English was spoken on Plym-
outh Rock. More amusing still is the
fact that the original New England
was on the Pacific coast, for Francis
Drake in 1879, at the close of a months
stay, took possession Of the country for
his sovereign. Elizabeth, and named
the new acquisition Nouva Albion (New

\ BURGLAR LOVER.
THE TRUE ROMANCE OF A PARIS
 LADY's MAID.
She Helps to Capture the Clever Lccksmith to Whom She Had Been Engaged for
 Two Years.

Few girls have such rude awaken ing from Loves Young Dream" as Josephine Leclerc, lady's maid who is in service at Paris.
 Some time ago her master moved into new flat, larger and more com modious than the one he had occu. pied hitherto
 Part of Josephines duties was to accompany Mademoiselle Lucienne. the young daughter of the family, to the music lesson every morning; and on a certain day a few months ago she retired to her room In order to prepare for. the daily journey.
 On entering the apartment, Jose phine glanced with pardonable pride at the looking-glass, and took up a comb wherewith to curb the exurber- ance of her wayward locks. Sudden ly she had an unreasonable feeling that she was not alone.
 Glancing round the room, her gaze rested on wardrobe. Surely the

Chinese and negro population is small. The chief agricultural products are wheat and other cere- als. The leading exports are wheat, flour, salmon, wool and fruit. The climate Is very equable. but not so warm as that of Louisiana. Farm ing operations are generally carried on in large way, requiring con- siderable capital. Wages rule high. h.
 c. U.-Please print a recipe for, removing pimples from the face?
 A. The first thing to do is to consult a doctor. They usually come from disordered blood. due to wrong diet, insufficient air. etc., and to clogged pores. The attack on pimples should be from two points, and equally vigorous from each. The blood must be purified by paying proper attention to diet and di- gestion. Health and beauty wait on good digestion, and good digestion waits on proper food. properly pros portioned and properly served and eaten, and on exercise, fresh air and the due elimination of waste. This is the war that must be waged from within. The attack from the out side consists in keeping the skin perfectly clean. Halfway measures in cleaning are responsible for pimples as we'll as for blackheads.

 D. S. A.-Does any ancient his- torian give description of Christ as to his personal appearance? (2) How does illiteracy in the United States compare with that in Eng land? (3) How can test metal for the presence of silver? (4) Does the eclectic school of medicine differ materially from the allopathic school?
 A. History began many hundred years after Christ, and nothing Is known of his personal appearance. All paintings are purely fanciful. (2) I have no figures from which to make comparisons. Leaving out the foreign born population, the school facilities of America are in Advance of those of England. (3) do not know how to test a metal for the presence of silver. An ore can be smelted by crushing and mixing with old slag. lead in some form. and little iron ore and lime. The mix ture is then heated in furnace, which brings down the silver and lead together as an alloy. The silver is then easily separated by cupella- ton. (4) There is material differ ence. The eclectic is medical the- ory and practice based upon selec- tion of what is esteemed best in all systems. Much use Is made of what they call specific remedies, which are chiefly botanical. Allopathy is a. method characterized by the use of agents producing effects different from the symptoms of the disease treated.

 There was terrible coolness, set tied f1xity of purpose far beyond his X years, in the manner of these final \ Preparations. At last they were com pleted. He blew out the candle and stood erect.
 At that instant the room became ab- eolutely flooded with lightning, not in S q single vivid fash, but in trembling. continuous glare that suggested the ef F feet of some luminous constellation fierce with electric energy. Before his eyes was exhibited a startling pano- rama of the familiar objects of his lonely abode. The brightness, so sus- tained and tremulous. startled him back from the very brink of death. aI will wait" he said. ''When the thunder comes, then I will jump" Even as the thought formed in his mind ball of fire so glowing, so iridescent, in its flaming heat that it Nominated the electric waves futtering in the oyerburdened air darted past ! the little window that looked out over the tiny yard in the rear of the house and crashed through the flagstones with the din of ten inch shell.
 Philip, elevated on the stairway, dis tInctly saw the molten splash which accompanied its impact. He saw the heavy stones riven asunder as if they were tissue paper, and from the hole caused by the thunderbolt or meteor came a radiance that sent spreading shaft of light upward like the beam of searchlight. The warmth. too, of the object was almost overpowering. Were not the surrounding walls constructed of stone and brick there must have been an immediate outbreak of fire. As 1t was. the glass in the windows cracked and the woodwork began to ecorch. In the same instant dreadful roll of thunder swept over the locality, and delugc of rain, without any fur ther warning, descended.
 All this seemed to the wondering boy to be very long time in passing. In reality it occupied but q very few sec onds. People in the distant street could not distinguish the crash of the fallen meteor from the accompanying ihun- der, and the downpour of rain came in the very nick of time to prevent the wood in the house and the neighboring factories from blazing forth into dis astrous fire.
 The torrent of water caused dense volume of steam to generate in the back yard, and this helped to minimize the strange light shooting up from the cavity. There was mad hissing and cracking as the rain poured over the meteor and gradually dulled it's bright ness. Pandemonium ragged in that cu- riously secluded nook.
