Visit TO an Indian Princess.

At Delhi [ visited one of those Gotha
women who never appear in public, and,
if obliged, as in the case of this Durbar,
go closely yelled or with screen before
them. 1t was the Princess of Tanjore,
and 1 went with lady interpreter whom
I knew. was met by the husband of
the princess, dressed all in cloth of gold.
He conducted us to his wife, who was
seated upon ahigh gilded chair, and before
her was gilded one for me, placed in
the center, one at my right for Miss
Firth, the interpreter, and one at my
left for q niece, who is the heiress ap-
parent. These were arranged in helf
circle before her. She was dressed in
cloth Of gold, with diamond fringed
head dress, pearls, rubies and emeralds
innumerable. In the head dress were
gold tassels and large pins of precious
stones. A diamond necklace was worn
close about the throat, and a ruby, and
then an emerald, necklace hanging be-
low Two armlets were worn at the top
of each arm, and two near the wrist. A
wide tape of jewels, as may say, came
from the front ornament of her cap down
to the top of each ear, and each ear was
pierced from the top of the lobe to the
bottom, with rings of pearls and dia-
monds. In her nose she had five or six
immense diamonds, set in the form of a
leaf, which reached from the edge of the
nostril, ON the left side, up to the bridge
of the nose; then pearl of the size of a
large pea hung pendant from the center
of the nose until it fell over the lip.
After few courtesies the husband
bade me welcome and passed to me n
silver cup holding altar of rose and betel
nut, wrapped in leaf lying in the sal
ver [ touched the betel nut, and he
put drop Of the perfume on my hand
kerchief. He then showed me the belt
of Jewels which his wife had worn, to
hold the sword of her grandfather, while
on visit to the viceroy. 1t was mass
of diamonds all across the front, and the
rest was heavily wrought gold, almost
too heavy for so little body to wear.
She then put her cloth of gold veil ove1
the head of her little niece, that / might
see how completely covered she had
been during the interview, only she had
placed the head dress, which she had
then on, upon the top of her veil, and
had looped up her veil to her shoulder
that the viceroy should have the benefit
of the jewels on her arms. The little
girl sung for me, in English Twinkle
twinkle little STAR" and "How doth the
little busy bee. "-Letter IN Boston
Journal.

How Money Gets Astray.

The Pal Mall Gazette says The
Bhootan expedition belongs to history,
though not the most agreeable or glorious
episode in the annals of British India. One
little incident, however, still remains to
be recorded. We cannot, indeed, vouch
for it's absolute accuracy, though it is
not only generally credited, but it is
also credible. The story runs thus
Under the impression that the little
war would be fought out to the "bitter
end the government ordered three lakhs
(e30, 600 worth) of copper coinage to be
dispatched to the northeastern frontier
for the use of the troops. 1t was for
warded accordingly-a goodly assortment
of half anna and quarter anna pieces,
pies and pice. The town of Rungpore
was reached in safety, when tidings of
peace arrived. The ponderous wealth
went on no further. Where its pro-
gress was stayed there it remained,
and presently its existence was all but
forgotten. Each new magistrate who
succeeded to the district signed paper
certifying that he held under lock and
key the sum of $4,000 in copper, and
it came to be looked upon as piece of
office furniture, such as a bookcase or
any other clumsy article. At last a
magistrate, more particular than his pre-
decessors, declined to sign the certificate
until the money was counted over to
him. The objection was not unreason-
able, but there was this difficulty in the
way of its removal, that the gunny bags
had been devoured by insects or other
wise destroyed, and that the copper
coins had run together and become weld
ed into masses. The cost of their re-
moval to Calcutta, or some other equally
absurd reason, caused the alternative to
be adopted of digging a big hole and
burying the untold riches. Some sort
of monument or memorial it is said, has
been erected over the side, and it may
be that in the fullness of time the DIR.
Schliemann of the period will disintel
the weighty heap.

Fashion Notes.

The lower part of every ball costume is
covered with flounces, plaitings and
pufings.
Fan suspenders of colored silk cords
to match each toilet are necessities of
the moment.
Turkish sable brilliantines, black and
glossy as silk, are revived for skirts of
business suits.
Silver nets over pink or blue or white
gauzes are used in the composition of
Paris ball toilets.
Full ruches in the necks and around
the wrists of confirmation dresses arc
dc rigeur in Paris.
The prettiest bunting parasols are
white, with blue Innings and cardinal
bows and streamers on the top.
The fashion of wearing black at a we'd
ding is permitted in France, but is con-
sidered bad taste in England.
Embroideries in colored silks, chenille,
beads and fine woods are made to pro-
duce magical effects in dress.
Partisan women are wearing their
evening dresses very short in front, and
with very long comet tail train.
The Fenelon is an elegant Paris house
shoe, cut so as to almost cover the in
step, and is tied in front with a bow.
Linen collars and cuffs for outdoor
wear are plain, and for indoor toilet are
trimmed with lace or richly embroidered.
The newest fan suspenders for evening
toilets are a mixture of silk cord with
gold or silver thread, and finished with
tassels to match.
None but young girls under twenty
dance nowadays in Paris, as their gauze
dresses are the only ones that will ad-
NIT of the exercise.
As soon as the nuptial knot is tied,
Partisan bells exchanges her gauzy
ball dresses for heavy trailing robes of
silk, satin and velvet
Charles TX. shoes have o strap and
buckle across the instep, or several bars
with buckle or button or small rosette
in the center of each bar.
Two new collarettes have made their
appearance, the Duchesse de Berry, of
black and white lace ruches, and the
Flanders, fraise of Flemish lace.
The newest cap head dresses take the
baby form, with a long scarf of lace or
Grape lisse quilted across the back and
forming strings to cross on the bosom
in front
Confirmation toilets this spring will
be in the princess form, of white cash
mere or Indian muslin, and under the
long, white, gauzy veil will be worn q
small baby cap, with full ruchings around
the face.

Hari Kari---The Dance Before Death.

Some curious details are given by
Japanese enewspaper-the IchOyG Chin1-
bOus-as to the manner in which some of
the ''aristocrats of the old school, in that
country, who were condemned to death
for the part they took in the late insurrec-
ton, but who preferred h0ri k0ri to de-
ctpitation, spent the last hours of their
yes. Four Samourai insurgents of
Koumanote, who escaped on the twenty
fIurth of October, assembled at the house
of one by name YonemaIa for the purpose
of ending their existence by the " happy
dispatch in his hospitable dwelling.
Before giving themselves over to death
they gave themselves over to regular
iollitication--drinking, dancing, and sing
ing as though on festive occasion. Their
hostess, without any wish unnecessarily
to curtail their enjoyment, with much
tact and good feeling advised them not
to keep up this revelry too long, as the
police could hardly fail to hear the dis
turbances caused by their songs and
dances. They turned deaf ear to her
kindly warning and continued to drink
and amuse themselves for the whole day,
saying that if the "shizohu " arrived
they were prepared to fight them. The
hours thus passed pleasantly away until
sunset, when the party arrayed them
selves in the robes which, according to
old Japanese fashion, are appropriate for
the ceremony they were about to perform,
and, having offered up their prayers to the
gods, "happily dispatched themselves
without further delay.

Paper for Houses.

Aslong ago as 1857 company in the
West began the manufacture of building
paper, and nowit has three large mills that
turn out sixteen tons per day. The paper
Thus manufactured is thick, hard paste
board wound in rolls of twenty-five to
one hundred pounds each, and usually
thirty-two inches wide. While it is
being made it is subjected to an enormous
pressure, which congresses the fibers
into a solid body. The sheet becomes abso-
lutcly alright, and as paper is a non-
conductor of heat it resists the action of
both heat and cold. A building lined
with it resists the entrance of heat in
summer and cold in winter. In case
of fire the paper sheets do not burn so
easily as wood on account of their hard
ness and solidity. This queer building
material has been tried in cold and in
warm climates, and found to work admir-
ably in all conditions and all circum-
stances.

What the Railroad Train Sings.

Lying broad awake in a berth of q
sleeping car, says Brett Harte, I could
not help making some observations which
I think are not noticed by the day trav-
eler. First, that the speed of train is
not equal or continuous. That at cer-
tain times the engine apparently starts
up, and says to the baggage train behind
it: "Come, come, this won't do Why,
it's nearly half-past two; how shall we
get through? Don't you talk tome. Pooh!
pooh !" delivered III that rythmical fash
ion which all meditation assumes on a
railway train. Ere,npH gratia: One
night, having raised my window curtain
to look over a moonlit snowy landscape,
as [ pulled it down the lines of popular
comic song flashed across me. Fatal
error The train instantly took it up, and
during the rest of the night was haunted
by this awful refrain: "Pull down the
behind, pull down the behind; some
body's klink klink. o don't be shoo-
shoow Naturally this differs on diffe :
ent railways. On the New York Central,
where the road bed is quite perfect and
the steel rails continuous, Ihave heard this
lrreVerent tram give the words OF certain
popular revival hymn after this fashion,
"Hold the fort, for I am Sankey, Moody
singers still, wave the swish swosh back
from klinky, klinky, klanky kill. " On
the New York and New Haven, where
there are many switches, and the engine
whistles at every cross road, have often
heard: "Tommy, make room for yolu
whoopy ! that's little clang, bumpity
bumpity boopy, clikitty, clikitty, clang.
Poetry, I fear, Jared little better. Ono
starlit night, coming from Quebec, as We
slipped by virgin forest, the opening
lines of Evangeline flashed upon me
But all I could make of them was this
"This is this forest prim- eval-eval; the
groves of the pines and the hem-locks
locks-locks locks-loooock !" The trair
was only SLOWING" OF "braling" up a
station. Hence the jar in the meter.

An Army of Water Rats.

DIR. Van Der Hork, the German
traveller to the Arctic circle, says: On
one occasion we had a curious adventure.
While crossing lacustrine part of the
river called Kioalmeiaure, in the early
part of the night, we were suddenly sur
rounded by swarms of lemming
(MyOdeS t0r9udtuS), an animal like
the mountain rat. They swarmed about
the boat, and tried to Chamber into it,
so that it was with the greatest difficulty
we could keep the fierce little creatures
from boarding us by beating about with
the oars, at which they would set up
sharp, shrill screams similar to those of
a muskrat. After some time we sue
ceeded in passing them. These little
animals come unexpectedly down from
the mountains, no one knowing exactly
whence, and appear in millions, swarm
ing over the whole country, eating up
almost everything that comes in their
way.
Neither rivers nor lakes seem to deter
them, both of which they swim with
ease, usually keeping on their destruc-
tive path until reaching the open sea,
which they vainly endeavor to cross,
never swerving from the direction once
taken until they sink exhausted beneath
the waves. Thus perish countless num-
bers. They commit great ravages, and
are rs dreaded in the North as the locusts
are in Egypt. Years, however, elapse
between their reappearance, or until
they suddenly descend from their rocky
retreats. The Lapps tell us that they
rain from the sky, many of them stating
that they have actually seen them fall.

As il Should Be.

Let me tell you of one home which
will never be desolated by drunkenness.
Among the pictures in the sitting-room,
where the children meet father and
mother in happy companionship many
times day, hangs a total abstinence
pledge, with the signature of every mem
Der of the family upon it. And the
parents take pleasure in it, speaking of
it with satisfaction, thanking God for it,
keeping the idea prominent in the minds
of their children. No intoxicating liquor,
for any purpose, ever comes into that
house. Neither for cooking, for medi-
cine, or for cleaning, is child ever sent
to purchase alcohol, or any of its foul
kindred.
Parents, for the sake of the children,
the dear little children, whom you can
not keep in your arms always, keep up q
public sentiment in the home that shall
be guard to them, when they go out in
the world; set them an example like the
north star to guide them, and then, and
always, pray to our Father to "deliver
from evil.
