The Emperor Frances Joseph, of Aus

gave dinner the other day to Prince
Nitka, of Monteaegro, and when it was

surrounding the palace. As they stood
there smoking, beautiful landau drawn

the arms of Montenegro, whereupon the
Emperor turned aud informed his onests
that the carriage and horses where intend
ed as surprise to him, AID begged him to
acrept them rs souvcnler OF his visit to
Vienna. With sparkling eyes the Prince
thanked his host. The dinner which
this episode succeeded was picturesque
one; the service was of solid gold, the
centre pieces being we'll known antique
works of art. Prince Nitka wore
Montenegrin dress, and was quite for
midable from the small arsenal of knives.
daggers and chased pistols stuck in his
belt. The meal itself barely lasted an
hour, few dishes being the fashion ut an
Austrian court dinner-but each dish is

He Suspected Everybody.

Some said he was naturally suspicious.
This may be partly true But others say
that in early life some unfortunate affairs
had an unhappy effect on his moods and
temper. II atelOny vas committed IN his
neighborhood, and there hung a mystery
over tie question of the perpctrator, our
hero looked wise and seemed to hint that
nc knew the man. In this way he once
came to be seriously suspected of being
sn accessory after the fact But he was
wholly innocent.
One day he was walking down the
street and saw some men talking and
laughing. Occasionally they looked up
the street. BY the time he reached the
group his face was very red. He looked
vexcd. He supposed their laughter was
in some way at his expense. Fortunate
ly, he paused long enough to hear that
they were making merry over the saying
and dOings of political meeting of
their own party.
One lent him a book, which had been
read with care, and several passages were
marked with pencil. He supposed tie
owner of the book intended to hurt his
feelings by calling special attention to
certain clauses, and yet it was fact that
the owner did not know that there was a
pencil mark on any page.
In fact, our friend often suspects some
evil intention in the kindest acts
of his best friends. A strange min

The Duties Of MatrimOny.

A wise old lady writes: Better than
gold to a man is a cheerful wife. But he
must do his part toward making her
cheerful. 1t is easy enough for man to
marry happy Woman. But the bride
expectant, when she thought how happy
sh. would be, never contemplated the
picture of husband coming home cross
as bear and going to bed without speak
ing to her; she has never thought of the
long evenings when be would not come
at all, or his bringing some one home to
dinner without warRlng or preparation;
of his awful profanity over so tritiing II
matter as the gas hill. She had no idea,
in tact, that there could be anything but
happiness in married life. and she had
determined to be happy and to distribute
her happiness to those about her. 1t IS
often not her fault ii she does NOT sue
coed. Men, as rule, do not exert
themselves to secure their wives
happiness. They know that it re-
requires constant AMI great et-
fort to possess property and b
secure in its value in the midst of con-
slant commercial changes. The cheerful
ness, the happy, hopeful character wich
every woman displays at the beginning
of marriage is not SO easily lost as for
tune; it requires but small share of the
attention, and yet SO often does not get
that little share. Therefore word to the
girls in this connection is in order; be-
ware of man that doesn't know enough
about cheerfulness to understand its value
in daily life. Such man would improve
the first opportunity to grind cheerful
ness out of his home, TO Brighten sun
beam into shadow, and then wonder
what is the matter. Such is no better
than no husband at all; and when you
want husband 60 find somebody else
somebody who will give you at least some
chance to be happy far into the LIE be-
yond the honeymoon.

THE ASCENT or AN ASIATIC
MOUNTAIN.

Two Englishmen, Henry +. Tozer
and T. NJ. Crowder, have recently as
cended Mount Arg@us, the highest
mountain in Asia Minor after Ararat
In the account which they send to the
Times (London) they state that their
first tent was pitched on the mountain
side 5000 feet above the sea. At two
o'clock the next morning they started
under the brilliant light OF the full
moon, and began climb Of 1000 feet,
which was a terrible hard piece OF
work, as the ground was extremely
steep and the face of the mountain
was covered with loose stones, and
masses of rock equally untrustworthy
TO tho foot. When they were in the
middle of this climb tho first rays Of
the sun fell on the porphyry rocks
above them and produced a splendid
effect by turning them to bright
crimson. At last, at about six o'clock,
they reached the ridge, where there
was long drete of snow at the head
of vast snow.slope, which formed a
conspicuous object on the north side
when seen from Kaiserieh. Cutting a
few steps In the frozen snow, they
reached point some two hundred feet
higher, at the base of the final peak,
which rose about fifty feet above, and
was perpendicular and wholly imprac.
ticable. This point had been reached
by Hamilton, the Secretary Of the
London Geological Society, in 1887,
and by Tcbihachefl, the Russian Sa-
want, in 1S4S. The view was very ex-
tensive, including the long line OF
to the east, the mountains
that run down toward Lycaonia to
the southwest, and to the north the
vast undulating plains, or rather
steppes, which occupy the interior Of
the country. But far tho most re-
markable feature was the mountain
itself, for the loftiest pinnacles of por.
phyry which rose around and beneath
them, vertable aiguiles, were as won
derful sight as could be well conceiv-
ed. 1t was strange, even in that land
OF Cappadocia, which, Is full Of ancient
rock dwellings, to find tho rocks ex.
cavated close to the summit. and these
chambers were clearly artificial, for
the marks of the chisel were evident
along the roof and walls, and there
were inches cut in the sides.
