In the second week after her arrival in this

the World is left under a seat in Roman
Catholic chapel in of the poor sections of
London with a letter confiding her to the

who has never known the bliss OF motherhood.
The narrative is in the manner OF the authors

leisureIy digressions and speculatons on life and
its happenings in general and the life of the

story is entertaining in gentle. sentimental
way with touches of humor here and there. but
the author occasionally is too persistent in draw

THE WORCESTERSHIRE, City Why is it
that We never see but one side of the moonf
Astronomers give the following ex-
PLANTATION; The reason why the inhab-

is the ellipitical form of the moon it

started on its axial rotation with pre-
cisely the same velocity with which it
moved around the earth, but 1t is
