A WIDOW'S LOYE.

It was "steamer dny" at Sitka, wad amid all the joyous stir and excitement that the monthly boat brcuuht was one forlorn, unhappy man. Turn Douglas watched his friends as they eagerly opened their letters and listened with assumed interest to the bits of news they were anxious to share, for at Sitka the population throngs to the wharf when the steamer's whistle is heard and waits the coming of the ship and the distribution of the mails. The people crowd into the tiny postofflce on the dock and watch impatiently for the longed for homo letters.

But Tom'® home letter was not a comfort to• him. "Well, she is really coming," he thought, "a month from today, if the steamer is on time. I will be a

marr

ied man worn) luck. How

can I ever toll Natalia, dear little girll I wouldn't willingly hurt lief tender feelings for i\l,OO0,00O, as hard ud as I am." And l^om whistled ruefully

Tom Douglas was a naval offi er and before being ufet tioned at Sitka ho had been on duty a -.vinter in Washington, where he plunged into society with that gay abandon that wly sailor knows, for after three years. Vat sea a young fellow is quite ready for thp rush and whirl of the gay capital All houses were open to the hmu/some lieutenant, but there was one whei^e he m»s especially welcome. The hostess was a pretty widow of some 26 or 27 years of age. Her husband, who had diod soon .after their marriage, seemed not to hare, had a very strong hold on her afflictions/, for aftor mourning him decorously for a year she blossomed into the gayest o. the gay, and her house became ft centefc for tho young officers who had been the friends of her husband.

It was there that Tom spent most of his time. He dropped in during the morning and discussed the newest gossip or tho*latest magazines and came in for a cup of tea in the afternoon and remained till her cozy parlor was empty save for himself and iier. "Are you going to tho assembly tonight?" he would ask. "Will you be there, Tom?" Mrs. Deering had such a good fellowship way of using her friends' first names.

Yes, I presume so.'1 "Well, then, I am going," tho little widow would reply.

And that was the way tho winter passed, Tom running in at all hours, privileged to smoko or read, to talk or listen, tho most indulged of all her callers. When his orders came for his immediate removal to Alaska, he put tho document in his pocket and went as usual to the cheery homo of Mrs. Deering. He told her the news and was really surprised and flattered by her recep tion of it. Sho took both his hands in hers, and tho tears gathered in her bright eyes. "Oh, Tom," she said, "I hate to have you go."

Now, it never occurred to Lieutenant Douglas before, but at this moment the idea did come to him that he was in love with the widow. Ho drew her to him and kissed away her tears, and before he know it he was engaged to Alice Deering,

He left soon after arranging to have Alice join him later in the summer, but owing to the loss of a distant relative, the heir of whose modest estate she was, her coming had been greatly delayed. It was now more than a year since Tom and sho had parted in Washington. In the meantime Tom had whiled away his leisure hours in the, somewhat narrow circle of Sitka society, but in that narrow bound he had found a fair Russian flower that ho knew bloomed for him. Though Tom had not made love to Natalia—he was too honorable for that— they had been together constantly, and each knew instinctively what was in the Other's heart "I believe I'll go and tell Natalia all," Tom continued to muss, "right now, for of course as a gentleman and officer I am bound to keep my word, and my word is given to marry Alicehang it! I wish I had never been born. She, too, poor girl, may discover that my love has somewhat cooled. If it ever reus love, it never was the same feeling have for dear little Natalia, bless her loving heart"

So Tom went to Natalia and told her that he was engaged, and that another month would see him married.

Her delicate face whitened, but controlling herself she said: "I congratulate you, Mr. Douglas." Then, bursting into tews, she turned away. The sight of her tears was too much for Tom. Embracing her tenderly, he said: "I love but you, Natalia, darling. Oh, that I had met you first! My fondness for Alice was but a fleeting thing, and my love for you will last forever."

Pressing warm kisses on hear lips, he held her close. "Leave me, Tom. It is right for you to keep ycmr word, but you should have told me of your engagement before* We had best part now, Goodby." "But can't I come to see you, Natalia, as usual?"

It would only be painful, far we can never, from this time forward, be anything but the most formal of friends.''

Tom was touched by ibe simple dignity of the young Russian girl, whose quiet life had been spent bv the shore under the shadow of the mountains, far from the noise of city or town, so he bowed to her will. Their parting was a heartbreaking one to both. "Natalia, I can't bear to leave you, I must have you, dearest." "There, go now. This is only foolish." "Well, then, let me kiss you for the last time, darling," pleaded Tom

Natalia put up her little tf ar stained face, and Tom silently kissed her and went away.

That r» uth ps^ed only too quickly for Tom, who looked with dread towai icodr:-:g of the- steamer. He stud*'„uJy av. Nur 4ia, denying hisn- the afte-moon walk to the Indian river, which is the event of th« All the white people at Sitka.

The next "steamer day' Tom Douglas was seen rusli iig madly to Natalia's home. The neighbors, who of course had noted his long absence,, were greatly surprised. "Natalia, Natalia," he cried as soon as sho earoo into the quaint drawing room to receive him, "I've come to ask you to bo my wife. Dearest, say yes at once." "Why, Tom, are you crazy? What has becomo of Alice?" "Well, by Gccage Natalia," she is married 1 Just think of it—married! And 1 am the happiest man on earth. A pardoned convict's feelings of relief are not to be compared to mine. You see, soon after she.left Washington she met an old sweetheart whom she had oast off to marry Mr. Deering, whose position and prospects seemed better. In the meantime this fellow had made a fortune, and as he was on his way to Alaska for a pleasure trip they decided to make it also a wedding trip and break the news to me in person. Rather awkward, you might think, but I congratult \ted them with all my heart and thanked my stars for my freedom. Come, little girl, put on your hat, and I'll take y0li down to tho steamer to see the bridt. and I'll introduce to her my fiance because you say, 'Yes,' don't you, dk "5ar?"* "Isn ppose so, Tom, but it's all so sudden Shall I wear my leghorn hat?" —St. Lex Republic.

FIRST QH1NE3E WOMAN DOCTOR

After Nine YeatV Study Here She la Going1 Home to IPnu)ti««. The first Chinese woman doctor, graduate of an American medical college, to practice iu C:. aa and the second woman of her race to take an occidental medical degree is now ou her way across the Pacific to her nativelaud to inaugurate there a new era in women's work among women. She is Dr, Hu King Eng. a charming, modest little woman, eharaoteristioally Celestial in every way, despite her nine years' residence in the United States. She has never discarded her quaint, rich native dress and loves her own land best. She received her doctor's degree in Philadelphia yea* ago, has spent the past 18 months in taking a postgraduate course and in obtaining actual experience in her profession, and a week ago she sailed from San Francisco to Fuohau, where she will take up her life work as physician and missionary at the Woman's hospital, an institution supported by the Woman's Foreign Missionary society.

While she is pure blooded Chinese and proud of the fact, Dr. Hu King Eng was never a heathen, her family. having been Christians for two generations. Her grandfather was one of the first natives converted in Fuohau and her father one of the first Christian ministers ordained in China. She has a brother in the Methodist ministry and a sister a teacher in a Methodist school in China.

She came to America nine years ago when quite a young girl with the determination of becoming a physician because sho believed that she could do far more effective-work in Christianizing her people, which is her ni*'u purpose, as a physician- and missionary among tho women of her race than as a mere teacher and preacher. She did not know more than a few words of English, and her first steps on the way toward her ambition lay in tho acquisition of a thorough knowledge of that language, so she went first to a preparatory school at Delaware, O.

There sbo spent four years, and then came to Philadelphia, and after passing a highly creditable examination was admitted to the Woman's Medical college. She graduated from the college 14 months ago, and then took the postgraduate course and dispensing course at the Philadelphia polyclinic. She made a special study of diseases of the eye and ear, and was for some months an assistant in that department of the polyclinic. Finishing her course a few weeks ago, she started for home in company with a missionary and his wife who were bound for Fuchau.

Besides her work with the Woman's hospital she will try to build a regular practice as a physician among her countrywomen. She believes there is a great field for her among the higher class of Chinese wonaen. There are some China women, she says, who would rather die than be attended by a man physician, while the doors of both rich and poor are wide open to women doctors. Three years ago sbo went home on a visit and met with a remarkable reception from the women of her native place. Sick women came to her in great numbers because they had heard she oould oure them of all their ills by arts she had learned in America, and she expects to wield great influence among them as a missionary now through her ability to aid them as a physician. The Woman's hospital at Fuchau is for women only. Its staff of physicians are all women, and tho nurses are all native girls who hope some day to become dootors, like the white women missionaries. Dr. Eng is the first to attain that distinction.

The Chinese women, she says, are waking up and are getting to be progressive in their ideas. They want to become educated and to take part in the work of the world, like the women of the western nations. One other Chinese woman has graduated from an occidental medical college—a Dr. King, who graduated from an eastern college several years ago and is now living in Hawaii. Dr. fiu King Eng will be the only Chinese physician with a western world degree in China—Philadelphia Press. I®®

Tha Light* of the Sea.

Some years ago the natives near Bombay gave aocounts of a wonderful flam* ing creature that they declared had been seen sailing through the heavens, but had dropped into the sea and remained (here for many years swimming near the shore. After along search and much inquiry, a scientist discovered that this so called celestial monster was a jellyfish of a most remarkable sort It had tentacles over 800 feet long, and an enormous head, that glowed like an incandescent light The tentacles shone With a phosphorescent gleam and light ed up the sea for along distance. At length one of the creatures washed ashore and was carefully studied by the naturalist. It was supposed that a comet, which had appeared in the heavens and disappeared afterward, was connected in the minds of this imaginative people witii the jellyfish, There are scores of phosphorescent creatures in the depths of the ocean, many of which have never been described, some of them being so remarkable that aeourate accounts of tbom would tax the credulity of simple folk.—New York Ledger.

Mme. Feuillet Made Worth Famous. It is not generally known that Worth owed his first introduction to Empress Eugenie to Mme, Octavo Feuillet, then, as now, ono of the most charming women in Paris. Feuillet, Jhou at the beginning of his great career, had just won the heart of the empress by writing for her private theatricals "Les Portraits de la Marquise," in which his royal patron took the principal part, but which was so cleverly constructed that none of tho Other characters was allowed the slightest liberties with the person of the empress. Soon after this Mme. Feuillet dined at the Tuileries, and Eugenie complimented her upon her gown and asked tho name of her dressmaker. "Your majesty, it is a man—an Englishman. His name is Worth, and he has only been in Paris a little while," replied Mme. Feuillet "He knows how to design a woman's dress," said the empress critically. "You must send him here."

So the lilac dress of the playwright's wife made the fortune of Worth.—Paris Letter.

A Mean Jerseyman.

"The meanest man I ever saw," remarked the Reflective Lounger, "lived down in New Jersey. "He was caught out in a thundershower one day and lightning struck him right on the pocket. It tore a hole in his trousers and the contents of his pocket rolled out on the floor. They were a match safe, a knife and four pennies. Now, what do you suppose that fellow said when we picked him up and brought him to himself?" "Oh, something about his miraculous preservation probablj replied the Stool Pigeon. ''Miraculous preservation, nothing. He asked us if we had picked up what was in his pocket, and when wo went

out

and got them for him he fingered them over, counted the pennies and then he says: 'Well, I'm durned glad these cents ain't burned so but what they'll pass anyway.'"—Buffalo Express.

Small Feet Signify Idleness A race with very small hands and feet is a race that has for generations done very little work and taken very little exercise. South American ladies of Spanish blood can give points, as regards tiny extremities, to their Andalu8ian ancestresses, merely because an altogether tropical climate compels the indolence that a semitropical climate favors. When the average Frenchman— and M. Daudet is, in many respects, a singularly average Frenchman eulogizes the small foot, he is simply glorifying idleness. Not otherwise is tho Chinaman proud of the cramped feet of his womankind, as at once a certificate of aristocrat)n idleness and a safeguard against dangerous excursions.—Sketch.

Mary, Queen of Scots.

Mary, queen of Scots, was tall and slender, but very graceful in all her actions. Her face does not seem to have been especially beautiful, for she had rather irregular features, but her fascination of manner was irresistible. She had away of cocking her head a little to one side and of looking sideways at the person with whom she was talking that gave a strong impression of coquetry. She had very small hands and feet and was fond of showing both, often having her guwns shortened in order that her feet might be seen. She always had her own hair cut close and wore a wig to save the time and trouble .of hairdressing.

Catharine Parr.

Catharine Parr, the sixth wife of the much married Henry VIII, owed more to her intellectual than to her personal charms. She was not good looking, but bad a pleasant face and a world of tact So skillfully did she manage her troublesome husband as actually to turn him against some of the most trusted of his own officials. Once an order was made out far her arrest, on a charge of heresy, but she got news of the matter, and so cleverly flattered and soothed Henry as to effect a complete reconciliation, and when the officers came to serve the order he drove them out with curses and threats.
