A New York nowspaper recently relebrated Its fiftieth birthday by bringing out a copy of Its first Issue. That number contained, among many musty nnd forgotten thiugs, an arti cle on the Nlcnragunn canal mute, ex IrnetH from English papers on tho su periority of American yachts, and nn nrtlclo on the sympathy of Americans with the Cubans, oppressed by Spain. Verily, "tho thoughts wo are think ing our fathers did think." An American laundry machine com pany has recontly shipped a complete steam laundry plant to Vladivostok, eastern 8lborla. It will be cnpablo of handling four thousand pieces of lin en n day, and will consist of wash ers, centrifugal wringers and a large mangle. This Is said to bo the first introduction of such an equlpmont in to that region. If so, It Is doubtless n case of "Wring out the old; wring In tlin new," slightly to amend Ten nyson's familiar lines.

When Emma Paul was callod as a witness in court In Baltimore. Md., in a suit brought by her father against her mother, the astonishing facts wero disclosed that, although she is aged twenty years, sho did not understand tho uuturn of nn oath, had never been to u church or Sunday school, had never heard of God, or heaven, and did not know of the promlso of Im mortality. It was discovered that tho young woman had lived In Balttmoro all her life, and that her home was In tho heart of a densely populated section. Judge Wlckes allowed her to testify, saying she was an extraordin ary and unsatisfactory witness. Tha street car companies of Chicago are apparently not In high favor with the Service committee of tho commit tee on local transportation of tho city council, for It has formulated a code that Is likely to reduce the receipts of the railroad companies considerably. The committee at a meeting decided that If a passenger Is obliged to stand up In a car and hang on to a strap he has received value for only four cents, and not Ave. Then tho cotu mltteo has suggested to the corpora tion counsel to enforce an ordinance relative to transfers, making It obli gatory on the traction compnnles to furnish transfer slips to nny of its intersecting lines. An Interesting operation has just been performed in the hospital attached to tho University at Halle, Germany. A 6-year-old girl patient was suffering from partial parulyslB and aa tho doc tors in charge considered this could only arise from u tumor on the brain, Prof, von Bramunn decided to remove It. With an electric saw he cut out a piece of the skull a little larger than a half-crown, cut through the Inner pkiu, and discovered u tumor as largo aa a walnut. Tho professor skilfully removed this tumor, sewed up the In ner skin, fitted in again tho round pieco of tho skull he had sawn out, and sowed up tho outer skin. Tho operation lasted an hour, nnd may bo considered perfectly successful, us the child is qulto well again and all symp toms of paralysis have disappeared.

ThoTposltlvo conviction that MIsb KUen M. Stone Is dead is contained in a letter which has just been received in 'Boston from Ivan Raduloff, a student, who was with tho American mission ary when she was captured by bri gands In Turkey, together with Mmc, Tsllku. According to this letter the snow in tho mountains, into which Miss Stone and her companion were taken by their captors, wns three feet deep three wooliH ago, at the time the letter was written. Even in tho sum (mor time the snow upon tho highest of these mountains docs not melt. The first snowfnll usually comes about tho middle of September nnd by the middle of October tho mountain passes are absolutely closed to travel. It was the conviction among Miss Stono'sfrleuds in Samokov, Bulgaria, three weeks ago that she could not possibly have survived the rigors of her captivity until that date. There twas u hope that Miss Stone might have nccn concealed by lier captors in tuo monastery of St Ivan of Siln, which is near the Bulgarian-Turkish frontier, and on the Bulgarian Bide of it.

Etc CHAPTER III. Alice left her Bister standing In the room and went upstairs. But sho was naoro than one minute away; aho waa throe or four, for ahe could not at first lay her hand upon tho letter. When she returned her sister advanced to her from the back drawing room, tho fold ing doora between the two rooms be ing as before, wide open. "What a fine collection of bracelets, Allcol" she exclaimed, aa sho took tho letter. "Are they spread out for Bhow?" "No," laughed Alice; "Lady Sarah la going to the opera, and will be in a hurry when she comes up from dinner. She asked mo to bring them all down, as she had not decided which to wear." "I like to drefs before dinner on my opera nights."- "Oh, bo of course docs Lndy Sarah," returned Alice, as her sister descend ed the stairs, "but sho said It was too hot to dlno In bracelets." "It Is fearfully hot. Good-by, Alice. Don't ring; I will let myself out" Alice returned to the front room and looked from tho window, wonder ing whether her sister hnd come In her carriage. No. A trill ng evening breczo was arising and beginning to move the curtains about Gentle as It was, It was grateful, and Alice sat down In It In a very few minutes tho ladles tamo up from dinner. "Have you the bracelets, Alice? Oh, I see." Lady Sarah went to tho back room as she spoke, and stood beforo the table looking at the bracelets. Alice rose to follow her, when Lady Prances Chenevlx caught her by the arm and began to speak In a covert whisper. "Who was that at the door Just now? It was' a visitor's knock. Do you know, Alice, every hour slnco we came to town I have fancied Gerard might bo calling. In the country he could not get to us, but hero . Was It Gerard?" "It it was my sister," carelessly an swered Alice. It was not a true an swer, for her sister had not knocked, but it was the readiest that rose to her llpo, and she wished to escapo the questioning. "Only your sister," sighed Frances, turning to the window with a gesture of disappointment. "Which have you put on?" Inquired Alice, going toward Lady Sarah. "These loose fancy things; they arc the coolest. I really am bo hot; the scup was that favorlto soup ot the colo nel's, all capsicums and cayenne, and the wine was hot; there had been some mistake about tho ice. Hill trusted the new man, and he did not understand it; it was nil hot together. What the house will be tonight I dread to think of." Lady Sarah, whilst Bhe spoke, had been putting the bracelets into tho jewel box, with very little care. "I had better put them straight," re marked Alice, when sho reached the tabic. "Do not trouble," returned Lady Sarah, shutting down the ltd. "You are looking flushed and feverish, Alice: you wero wrong to walk bo far today; Hughes will set then to rights tomor row morning; they will do till then, Lpek them up und tako possession of tho key Alice did as ike waa bid. She locked the ca&a and put tho key into tier pocket. "Here Is the carriage." exclaimed Lady Frances. "Aro we to wait for coffee?" "Coffee in this heat," retorted Lady Sarah, "It would be adding fuel to fire. Wo will havo some tea when wo return. Alice, you must make tea for the colonel; ho will not como out without It He thinks this weather Just what it ought to be; rather cold, If anything." Alice had taken the bracelet box in her hands as Lady Sarah spoke, and when they departed carried it upstairs to its place in Lady Sarah's bedroom. Tho colonel speedily roso from the table, for his wife had laid her com mands on him to join them early. Alice helped him to his tea, and aa soon as he was gone, she went up stairs to bed. To bed, but not to Bleep. Tired as she was, and exhausted In frame, sleep would not pome to her. She was living over again her Interview with Gorard Hope. She could not in nor conscious heart affect to misunder stand his implied meaning that she had been tho cause ot his rejecting, the union proposed to him. It diffused a strange rapture within her, and though she had not perhaps been wholly blind and unconscious during the period of Gerard's stay with them, ho now kent repeating the 'words "Can it bo? can it be?" It certainly was bo. Lovo plays Btrauge pranks. Thus was Oerard Hope, heir to fabulous wealth, con sciously proud or his handsome por- ! son, his horculenn strength, his tow erlng form, called homo and plantod down by tho Bldo or n pretty ana nouio lady, on purposo that be might fall In love with her Lady Frances Chenevlx. And yet thb well-laid project failed; failed becauso there happened to bo another at that young lady's side, a gad, quiet, feeble-framed girl, whose very weakness may have soemed to place her beyond tho pale of man's love." But love thrives by contrasts and it was tho feeble girl who won the love ot tho strong man. Yet the knowledge diffused a strange rapture within her as she lay there at night, and sho may be ex cused If, for a brief period, sho gavo range to the sweet fantasies It con jured up. For a brief period only; too soon the depressing consciousness returned to her that theso thoughts of earthly happiness must bo subdued, for she, with her confirmed ailments and conspicuous wcuknciis, must nev er hope to marry as did other women. She had long known her mother had prepared her for it that ono so af flicted and frail as she, whose tenure of existence was likely to be short, ought not to become a wife, and It had been her earnest hope to pass through life unloving and unloved. She had striven to arm herself against tho dan ger, against being thrown into the perils of temptation. Alas! It had come Insidiously upon her; nil her care had been set at naught; and she knew that she loved Gerard llopo with a deep and fervent lovo. "It Is but an other cross," ahe sighed, "another burden to surmount and subduo, and I will set myself, from this night, to tho task. I havo been a coward, shrinking from self-examination; but now that Gerard has Bpokcn out, I can decolve myself no longer. I wish ho had spoken moro freely that I might have told him It was useless." CHAPTER IV. It was only towards morning that Allco dropped asleep; the consequence was, that long after her usual hour for rUlng she wait still sleeping. Tho opening of her door by soino ono awoke her; It was Lady Sarah's maid. "Why, miss! are you not up? Well, I never! I wanted the key of tho jewel box, but I'd havo waited If I had known." "What do you say you want?" re turned Alice, whose Ideas wero con fused, as Ib often the case on being suddenly nwakened. "The key of the bracelet box, If you please." "Tho key?" repeated Alice. "Oh, I remember," Bhe added, her recollec tion returning to her. "Bo at the trou ble, will you, Hughes, to take it out of my pocket; It Ib on that chair under my clothes." The servant came to the pocket and speedily found tho key. "Arc you worse than usual, raise, thla morn ing?" asked she, "or havo you over slept yourself?" "I havo overslept myself. Is It late?" "Between nine and ten. My lady is up, and at breakfast with master and Lady Frances." Alice rose the Instant the maid had left tho room, and made haste to dress, vexed with herself for sleeping so long. Sho was nearly ready when Hughes came In again. "If over I saw such a confusion as that jewel box was in!" cried she, In as pert and grumbling a tone as she dared to use. "Tho bracelets were thrown together without law or order Just aa if they had been so much glass and tinsel from tho Lowther Arcade." "It was lady Sarah did it," replied Alice. "I would have put them straight, but she said leave It for you," Ithousht she might prefer that you I should do it, so did hot press it." "Of course her ladyship is aware thoro's nobody but myself knows how they are placed In It" returned Hughes, consequently. "I could g: to that or to the other jewel box, In the dark, and take out any ono thing my lady wanted without disturbing tho rest." "I have observed t,hat you have a gift of order," remarked Alice, with a smile. "It Is very useful to those who possess it aud saves them from trouble and confusion." "So It do, miss," said Hughes. "But I camo to ask you for the diamond bracolet." "The diamond bracelet!" echoed Alice. "What diamond bracelet? What do you mean?" "It Ib not in the box, miss." "The diamond bracelets aro both In the box," rejoined Alice. "The old ono Is there, not the new one. I thought you might have taken It out to show some ono, or to look at yourself, mlBS, for I'm sure It's a sight for pleasant oyes." "I can assure you it Is In tho case," said Alice. "All are there excopt wkttt Lady Sarah had on. You must have overlooked It." "I miiBt be a great donkey if I have," grumbled the girl. "It must bo at the very bottom, amongst the cot ton,' she soliloquized, as sho returned to Lady Sarah's apartments, "and I have Just got to take every individual , article out to get at It. This cornea of giving up one's keys to other folks, Alive hastened down, begging par don for her Into appearance. It was readily accorded. Alice's oftlco In the house was nearly a sinecure; when sho had first entered upon It Lady Sarah was HI, and required some one to sit with and read to Iter, but now that she was well again Alire had lit tlo to do. BreakfaBt was scarcely over when Altce was called Into tho room. Hughes stood outside. "Miss," Bald che, with a long face, "the diamond braceletts not In the box. I thought I could not be mis taken." "But It must bo In the box," said Alice. "But It is NOT," persisted Hughes, emphasizing the negative; "can't you believe me, miss? What's gone with li?" Alice Seaton looked at 'Hughes -with a puzzled look. Ske was thinking mattera over. It sooned cleared again. "Then Lady Sarah must have kpt it out when she put In the rest. It waa ahowho returned t ham to the cane; Z did not. Perhaps sho wore it last night." "No, miss, that she didn't She wore only those -two " "I saw what Bho had on," Interrupt ed Allco. "But she might also havo put on the other without my noticing, Then sho must have kept It out for somo purpoao. I will ask her. WnK. hero an Instant, Hughes, for, of course, you will llko to be at a cer tainty." "That's cool," thought Hughes, as Allco went Into the breakfast room, and the colonel came out of It with the newspaper. "I should have said It was somebody else who would llko to be at a certainty Instead of me. Thank goodness It wasn't in my ehargo last night, it anything dread ful has came to pass. My lady don't keep out her bracelets for sport Miss Seaton has left the key about, that's ) what she has done, and It's hard to say who hasn't been at it; I knew the box had been ransacked over." "Lndy Sarah," Bald Alice, "did you wear your now diamond bracelet last night?" "No." "Then did you put It Into the box with the others?". "No," languidly repeated Lncjy Sarah, attaching no Importance to tho question. "After you had chosen tho bracelets you wished to wear, you put the otli- j ers Into the box yourself," exclaimed Alice. "Did you put In the new one, the diamond, or keep it out?" "Tho diamond was not there." Alice stood confounded. "It was on the table at the back of all, Lady Sarah," sho presently said; "next the window." "I toll you, Alice, it was not there. I don't know that I should havo worn It If It had been, but I certainly looked for it. Not seeing it, I supposed you had not put it out, and did not care sufficiently to ask for it." Alice felt In a mesh of perplexity; curious thoughts', and very unpleas- Ing ones, were beginning to como over hor. "But, Lady Sarah, the bracelet was indeed there when you went to the table," sho urged. "I put It there." "I can assure you that you labor under a mlstako as to Its being there when I camo up from dinner," an swered Lady Sarah. "Why do yoiu ask?" "Hughes has cqmo to Bay It Is not In tho case. She is outside, waiting.' "Outside now? Hughes," called out her ladyship; and Hughes came in. "What's thla about my bracelet?" "I don't know, my lady. The brace- i let Is not In Its place, bo I asked Miss Seaton. She thought your ladyship might have kept It out yesterday even ing." "I have ncithor touched it nor seen It," said Lady Sarah. "Then wa have had thieves at work." "It must bo In the box, Hughes." spoke up Alice. "I laid it out on the tabic, and it is impossible that thieves as you phraso It could have come there." "Oh, yes, It is In tho box. no doubt," . said her ladyship, somewhat crossly, , for sho disliked to bo troubled espe cially In hot weather. "You have not searched properly Hughes." "My lady," answered Hughes, "I can trust my hands, and I can trust my eyea, and they have all four been . Into every' hole and crevice of the box." Lady Frances Chenevlx laid down tho Morning Post and advanced. "Is the bracelet really lost?" (To be continued.) NAPLES BREAKFAST VENDORS. They Make tha Mornlar Air Vocal with Their Calto The air ot Naples becomes vocal with tho characteristic calla of, the 4 breakfast vendors. "Hot, hot, and big as apples!" shout the sellers ot peeled chestnuts. These are boiled In hngo caldrons In a reddish broth of their own making,, which Is further sea soned with laurel leaves and caraway seed. A cent's worth of the steaming kernels, each ot which Is as big as a largo English walnut, Is a nourishing diet that warms the fingers and com forts tho stomach of troops of children on their way to school, or rather to the co-operative creches, or .nurseries, whero ono poor woman, for a .cent a day each, takes care ot the kables of a score ot others who must leave. them behind to earn tho day's living. Meantime dignified cows pass by. "with measured tread and Blow," shak ing their heavy bolls and followed by their beguiled offspring, whoso busi ness It Is to mako them "glvo down" their milk at tho opportune moment, and to let the milkman take it Noth ing can bo funnier than this strugglo between the legitimate ownor, the calf, and tho wily subtractor ot the lacteal treasure. Although tied to his mother's horns with a ropo long enough to reach, and even lick her bag, but not to get satisfaction, ,out of It, his bovine wit Is often sharp enough to glvo the slip to tho noose and eludo the vigilance of tho keep er, occupied, perhaps, for tho moment.
