ago and each day 1 have grown more
self-ieliunt aud brave. Quite determined
to make a career of my own, I persuaded
Jack to teach me book-keeping, and after
that it was not.very hard to persuade him
to let me cease play and keep his books
in earnest.
So for seven years I had work I enjoyed
and six hours of every day I speut in the

When August of last year came around
1 had laken my usual July vacation, and

to assume part of Jack’s duties in addi¬
tion to my own, that he and Annie might
have their month’s outing also.

Maggie was our faithful domestic.
‘ 'Nonsense, Annie,” i answered.
“Haven’t we stayed alone for six years
every August with a private watchman,
too, for this block? I’m never one mite
afraid.” ■ ■■
“You are nerfeelly rale," Jack said,
“We’ve got a new watchman now, who

fellow who is out of work; he is as bright

I quite laughed to myself at Annie's
fears the next evening a> I stood a mo-
incut at the win,low, after extinguishing
tbe gas, aud saw the burly, thick-set figure
of the new watchman lighting his pipe by
the gaslight, lie looked able to tackle a
whole gang of house robbers unassisted.
All went peacefully. I meet the new

Joe found a truck and a box, and I
loaded books and insurance papers into

might even now be on the way to aid me.

VICTORIA AND HEALTH.

to Mme. Calve, the famous singer, and
has, I hear, invited her to spend three
days at Osborne House during the
summer. As is very well known, Her
Majesty is much interested in all mat-
ters connected with health, and the
legend runs that, at their first inter¬
view, the Queen and the prirna donna
conversed, not about music, but in¬
validism, hysteria and the best meth¬
ods for preserving tbe body in the
finest condition. Her Majesty de-
dared that the best air, aud plenty of
it in ail weather's, was the spoific for
most of the ills that flesh is heir to,

of thinking.—The Gentlewoman.

MARTHA, THE TiTAN'DIERE,
A Peruvian AYnman Who Ha# Became
Famous as a Soldier.
From Lima comes a portrait of a re*
river.;able Peruvian woman who has
become a celebrity iu the country from
her bravery and attention to the
wounded during the recent revolution*
ary campaign which cu'-raiuated in the
ptrack and capinre of Lima on March
ITtb. 18th and 19th last.
To-day the name of Martha, the Vi-
vaudiere. who accompanied the divis¬
ion of the coalition armv under the
command of Colonel Philip Ore, is a
household word iu Lima.
Alar th a is a wouiau of about thirty-
five years of age mid of Indian blood.
Ebeis rather tail for one ot her race anc
not at all bad looking. From first to last
since Colonel Ore encamped iu Lurin,

on a splendid horse, was always to bo
seen when fighting was going on,
sometimes at the front ur ing oa tho
boldiers, at other times at the rear as*
sisting the wounded.
During the fierce fighting at the en¬
trance to Lima Martha was wounded
by a bullet in the right foot. Bho
mortgaged a small hou.-o which she
owned iu Callao, aud when the coali¬
tion forces commenced what was vir¬
tually the siege of Lima she employed
ner little fund m the purchase of re¬
volvers and other articles.
There were three days’ tremendous
fighting in Lima, over 1U90 men lying
dead in the streets. About fifty per
cent, of the comba ants engaged were
p.aced hors de coinoat. By this it
will be easily uu lerstoo 1 ho v the con¬
duct of Martha, the Yivandiere, has
made her famous.

Body Turned to S one.

Great consternation was caused waeu
it was found that the body of one of
them, Me Lung, who had embraced
the Christian religion before he died,
had turned to stone.
Aa the box provided for it was not
half as long os the body, it became

A YACHT OF 5000 TEARS AGO.
M. de Morgan and Meir, and now at
Gizeb. The ails of this boat wero
probably not male of ramie cloth,
and it is evident that they do not set
with that graceful smoothness that
characterizes the sails of the present
era; still, the striking similarity in
the general model of the bull will be
apparent to every one. This anc eat
boat- is, so far as known, the only one
which fias been preserved with its
original rigging, aad dates from the
Eleventh or Twelfth Dynasty, or
aoout 30GJ years B. C. Everything
about* vacht building that is Known

Vou will hear a sharp hissing sound,
like escaping steam, and the ships
will at once move forward, leaving
tracks of foam in their wake. Their
speed increases as they near the divid

a crash and bump, striving to push
one another out. Sometimes the bat¬

WU V IVAS : HE SO HAPPY?
I was ea.iiug on u friend ilae other
evening, and just stepped into the sit¬
ting-room, I heaid her say to her
iittie daughter: “it is your bedtimt
tltar ; my little girl must go to bet
early, and then vhe will be bright for
her lessons to-morrow.”
Too little girl was sitting iu her
papa’s easy chair, holding in her Jap
a large doll. Aa I sat down, I ‘-aw sl;«
was very busy brushing it i hair and
smoothing its clothes, looking it ove
very carefully, to see that everything
was just as it should be.
“What a dear little dollie! Ho*
pretty her hair is, and bow becoming--
^y she is dressed,” 1 said. The little
girl was pleased that I should notice
her baby, and began telling me a’*
about her.
“Not to-night, little one,” I tai'i
“Didn’t 1 hear mamma say it was Let
little girl’s bedtime?”
The mother very quietly began It
talk to me, while the iittie girl went
oa fixing dollie for the night. Only
for a moment, however; then the
iittie girl siid very slowly out of the
big chair, gave her mamma three long
sweet kisses, with a pleasant good-
iTght for us nil, sat with dollie
hugged , lightly m n-*i aims, went
soberly away upstairs. Bit in a few
moments we heard her singing a soK
Iittie lullaby to her baby.
Very likely the little girl could nei
have told what made her feel like
singing, bat I know. It wna because,
instead of fretting over not being al¬
lowed to sit up longer, she had cheer-
fully obeyed her mother’s wishes.—

A Gtod Impression.
“Bobby,” cautioned his mother,
"the bishop is to dine with us today,
and you must be very quiet at the
table. I want him to think you are a
good little boy.”
Very much impressed, Bobby ate
his dinner iu silence until his plate
ne«ded replenishing.

you
give me some more string beans, for
such is the kingdom of Heaven.”
