An Eccentric Benefactor,

Her Highness Kudsia Begun, an In
dian princess, who recently died at
Bhopal, dispensed in her lifetime a
princely charity, and in her death was
widely lamented. She was buried in her

Guided distribution to the poor of 100
marees Of wheat and 1000 rupees of
money. Every fakir in the town-of
which there are about 300-had received
from her in late years an annual donation
of from to 30rupees. All her charities
were accompanied by the words: "What
the Almighty has caused to be given,
that do I give" She was always fond of
feeding sparrows that came to her palace,
and never a poor dog failed in getting
food from her store. Not long before
she died, some sparrows made a nest in
the doorway of her bath. Rather than
disturb them she is said to have stopped
using the bath. Her grave is IN a
mausoleum that was built 10 years ago,
and each year the vacant tomb has been
filed with grain for the uses of the poor.

Sleeping on the Wall Side.
IFrom the Christian Union.I


A physician was lately called to pre-
scribe for a young lady who lived in one
of the most charming villas in Lander
vile.
Every morning she walked with head
ache, and it lasted nearly half day. 1t
has been going on for months, ever since
they moved in their new house. The
doctors tried all of the old remedies, and
they all failed. Riding and archery
we're fully tested, study and practice
were cheerfully given up. Nothing did
any good.
".Win you let me see your bedroom? %
asked the doctor one day, and he was
shown up into the prettiest little nest
Imaginable.
Chow do you sleep?" asked the doc
tor.
Con my right side at the back of the
bed with my face to the wall. Lou likes
the front best. %
"The dickens she does!'' said the doc
tor, $50 do I. Will you do me the fav-
or to wheel the bed into the middle of
the room and sleep so for week? Then
let me know about the headaches"
Doctors are so absurd The middle
of the room, indeed! And there were
the windows on one side and the two
doors on the other two sides and the
mantel with its Macrame lambrequin on
the fourth side. There was no place for
the bed but where it stood, in the cor
her.
"Never mind Sacrifice your lambre-
quin, " urged the doctor, "iust for one
week, you know
The lambrequin was sacrificed, and
the bed moved where it had air on both
sides, an the headaches disappeared.
It may be an exceptionally delicate
system that would be induced to actual
headaches by breathing all night the re-
hected air from the wall. But possibly
some of the morning dullness we know Of
may be traceable to like cause. At any
rate plenty of breathing space around a
bed can only be an advantage TO every
body.

North Carolina EmeraTds.
CFrOm the N. V Timea I

lFrom the n. Y. Times.l
The alleged discovery of emeralds in
North Carolina has, from time to time.
been the subject Of many affirmative as
sertions and as many satirical reioin-
ders, and perhaps the general impress
sion OF the'lay reader, at this juncture.
is that the truth of the matter is some
thing that no fellow can find out. Those
who have penned satirical letters to the
newspapers on North Carolina emeralds
are likely, however, to have an oppor-
tunlty to swallow their own words. I'm
less the whole body of experts connected
with the New York Academy of Sciences
are in error, not only have emeralds
been discovered in Alexander County,
n. c., but they exist in such abundance
that emerald mining is likely to become
q profitable industry. Mr.: Hidden, who
gives name to the mineral familiar as
hiddenite, has just laid O description of
his mining operations before the acad-
envy, accompanied by large collection
Of emerald prisms varying in length
from one to two fingers, about the genu-
lneness of which no question can be
raised. The error of experts who de-
MED that the prisms found In the sur
face soil of the Stevenson plantation
were emeralds, arose from the fading of
the color under the action of soil and
surface agencies. The superficial prisms
we're light green, rather lustreless, and
possessed few of the recognizable
properties of the true gem. But our
academy Of sciences mineralogist was
encouraged to continue his work, not
only by the advance of sufficient capital
from parties interested in verifying the
discovery. if such it was, or, at least. in
ascertaining the truth, but by the con-
vlction that the surface prism were in
reality emeralds, though deficient in
color and lustre. Until October last,
when his most valuable "fnds" were
made, he had sunk shaft to the depth
of some thirty-six feet. The gems oc-
cur in large pockets, which are very
numerous, in association with quartz,
hiddenite, mica, and other familiar min
erals. They are numerous enough, but
the question whether they will prove
available for commercial purposes is one
that remains to be settled, owing to the
presence of numerous flaws, which pre-
vent large stones being cut from the
prisms, and may prove serious bar to
financial success In working the mines.
The fact, however, that emeralds have
been discovered in abundance in North
Carolina, appears to be established be-
You'd a reasonable doubt by the COM
munication of Mr.. Hidden, the speci-
mems exhibited, and the testimony of the
expert crystalographers of the acade-
my, unless evidence OF the fraudulency
of his mining operation can be produced
by those who deny the existence of emer-
aids in the old north state.

PIedued to Kill Her Father,
(From the London Daily Telegraph. |


From Samara, one of the most -four
ishing towns in the Volga government,
is reported the following tragical Incl
dent, painfully Illustrative of the baneful
influence exercised upon overweight
nature in Russia by the nihilistic propa-
ganda. Some weeks ago a popular
preacher in one of the Samara orthodox
churches gave deep umbrage to, the
revolutionary committee of that city by
recalling, with fervent eloquence the
assassination of Alexander II. to the re-
membrance of his congregation, and
vehemently inveighing against the MUIR
derers of the late car. A few hours
later the committee held a meeting for
the purpose of deciding what punish
ment should be inflicted upon the offend
ing priest for his infammatory utter
ances. After some discussion, the COM
mittee resolved that he should be put to
death, and its members drew lots for the
executioner's Office, which fell to a girl
of 10, affiliated to the organization only
few days previously. Upon drawing
the fatallot she exhibited some agitation,
but, speedily collecting herself, accepted
her murderous mission with the words,
"The committee will have reason to be
satisfied with the manner in which it's de-
cree will be carried out" Next morn
ing the doomed priest was awakened,
shortly after daybreak, by the report of
fre-arm, discharged in room contig-
uous to his own bed-chamber. Upon
entering the room in question he beheld
his only daughter stretched out st full
length upon the floor near the loot of the
bed and weltering in her blood. She
had just strength enough left, before ex-
piring, to confess to him that she had
pledged herself to take his life, in ODE
dience to the orders of the secret commit
tee, but had preferred killing herself to
fulfilling her oath. Exhorted to reveal
the names of her fellow-conspirators,
she steadfastly refused to do SO, and
died without having afforded any clue
that could lead to their detection.

A Polite Frenchman,

One of the most determined suicides,
caused by the disastrous panic on change
in Paris and Lyons, recently took place
in a bath house in Paris. A young
gentleman called for bath, and while
the room was in preparation wrote note,
which he handed to the woman at the
desk, asking her to take charge of it for
the present. He then entered his room
and closed the door behind him. A
moment afterwards defamation was heard
and the servant, opening the door, found
the young man sitting in chair, quite
dead, with bullet through his brain.
The letter which he had written with
characteristic French politeness, begged
pardon of the owner of the baths for
making a scene in his place, and inclosed
second letter to the commissioner of
police of the quarter, saying that if he
failed this time he should begin again.
CT have" he added, "lost all that 1 pos
sess during the panic, and do not wish
to ive." Many suicides occurred in
Lyons under somewhat similar circum-
stances. Men could not bear the thought
that they were not able to meet their
obligations, for failure in business car
ries with it certain strain upon ones

81 Their STYLE Up Home :"
from the Detroit Free Press.l

One of the members of the Michigan
legislature of 1856 came down to Ian
sing wearing a coon-skin cap, a deer
skin overcoat, and buffalo overshoes. and
he brought with him certain traits of
character which at once singled him out
from the bald headed bankers. the bent
backed farmers, and the gesticulating
lawyers who were gathered to impose
new burdens on the state. This particu-
lar member was named Rush, and
though he had nothing to say for the
first few days, it was plain to see that he
would show his hand when called. One
day he arose and began speaking on
matter already disposed of, but the
speaker interrupted with:
"There Is no question before the
house,
Rush waited moment and then con-
tinued his speech as If nothing had hap
pened, and again the speaker notified
him that there was no question before
the house. If the member heard he did
not take warning, and this time the
speaker called out, with sharp rap from
his gayel:
"There is no question before the
house!'
Rush ceased speaking, and the hall
became so still That whisper could be
heard forty feet away. The member
broke the silence by saying:
"There amt, Ell? Here we've been
pegging in and fooIing around for two
whole weeks, and haven't even got
question before the house! Mr.. Speak
er, this isn't our style up homel Why,
l can name six one horse men in town
who'd get question before this house
in less than fifteen minutes, and here
are over hundred of us taking things
as easy as if we had sure job for six
months. | move you, sir, that COM
mittee be appointed to bring question
right off now, and that we keep the
blame thing right here until we scatter
for home!"
