CETEOWAYO VISITS VICTORIA.
The African Monarch Before the I'm
press Queen.

Cetewayo has been to visit the queen
of England at Osborne, and according
to all reports the occasion must have
been one worthy of illustration by the
pencil of Hogarth. Not only was
the steamer that bore him thither
decked with royal crimson, while the
crew dotfed their caps and the assem-
bled multitude made the welKin ring
with usty cheers, and a special guard
of honor was in waitisg, but the
amiable savage himself was in full
sympathy with the momentous respon-
sibillties OF the hour. He was "care-
fully dressed" in dark suit, and wore
"chimney-pot" hat which, let i. ever
DC romelnbefed, "snone rcsp!oioent
in The bright sunshine" and fittingly,
$50 did the features of the ex-king.'
."By his smile and dignifed deport-
ment, he created quite favorable. i'm
preston" Nothing appeared to sur
prise him, and only once w's he ut all
moveC, when peripatetic photographs
er directed his lens upon him without
50 much as saying "If you please,
and then the monarch quickly hid
himself behind the deck-house." His
flight was vain, however, for the
camera worked by the instantaneous
process" When a. last ushered into
the royal presence, Cetewayo strobe
forward in advance of his companions,
raised his hand above his head, and re-
peated twice Gin the Zulu tongue" the
words: "Au, the queen" Unfortunate
ly the reporters failed to state what
tongue eau, the queen is in, but left
the public to content itself perforce,
with knowing that those words are the
exact equivalent" Of the Zulu words
used by the ex king Of Zlluland. But
perhaps that is enough. The spectacle
Of the ponderous African, with re-
splendently shining face, waving his
hand above his glossy "stove-pipe,"
and bowling in Ialuese, eau, the
queen; au, the queen!' is sufficient for
one days contemplation by republican
simplicity.

LIABILITY OF CONTRACTION.
How Long Patients should BE IsO-
lated and what Precautions = hOuld
BE Taken

Nj. Hiliairet, in the name of com.
mission composed of NM H. Roger,
Bergeron, and Hillairet, read before
the Academic de Medicine report
in reply to the inquiry addressed 10
the academy by the minister of public
Instruction, rs to how long n pupil
affected with contagious disease
should be kept away from school.
The report considered the following
diseases; Naricellt, variola, scarlatina,
rubeola, mumps and diphtheria, and
the conclusions are as follows:
Naricella, whose progress is often
irregular, may require ten to twelve
days for the fall OF the crusts. The
isolation should be about twenty-five
DAYS
Nariola has n prCdomic period of
three to four days, four or five days of
eruption, three or four days Of suppur-
alton, des-icauon requires three days,
tall of the crusts six days. Then comes
n period of fuufuraceous desquamation
without definite limit, Isolation should
not be less than forty days.
In scarlatina the period of invasion
occupies from six to forty. eight hours,
or exceptionally three days; the erup-
ton is completed in from five to eight
days; desqu1mation commences on
the fourteenth or fifteenth day and
lasts from fifteen to twenty-alx days.
Isolation should last forty days.
Rube0ll has prodromic period Of
three or four days; exceptionally, from
six to eight or even twelve days; the
eruption is completed in twelve or
forty-eight hours, then it declines for
twenty-four hours; desquamatlon lasts
from eight to fifteen DAYS. Isolation
for forty days will be suh ,ient
Mumps, rs n rule, has duration III
ordinary cases of six days. Con
valescenCe lasts from SIX to seven days.
II any complication of metastass oc.
ours II lasts usually about nine days.
Isolation for twenty-five days is suft
Client.
The duration OF diphtheria is very
variable, but isolation should be main
tanned for at least forty days.
The commission consequently pro
poses the adoption of the following
measures:
/, Pupils affected with Chlcken-po
smallpox, scarlet fever, measles,
mumps, or diphiheria should be strictly
isolated from their comrades.
: For smallpox, scarlet fever, me a
seles. and diphtheria isolation should
not be shorter than forty days; for
chicken-pox and humps twenty-five
! days is enough.

quarters of the fashionable people who
found 1t pleasant or convenient 10 visit

and his newly. welded wife registered
there on their wedding trip. The elite

Spencer house was known throughout
this country as the finest and best ho-

now occupied by 10 families, with an
inhabitance of about 500 people, be-

by stotekeepers, amounting to some
100 persons, who live in the sulldiug.

attention to Mrs. Lovelace, who re-
sided on the fifth floor with her hus-
band, and he was so foolish rs to max e
overtures to her of a more than ques-
tonable nature. Not relishing this sort
of thing by any means, the lady con-
cluHed to punish the fellow for his inn
pertinence. Pretending to be captured
by his physical and colloquial charms,
she made an appointm ent to meet him
in the secluded sky parlor Of the Spen-
Ger house. The hour for the meeting
suggested by the lady was ?. NJ,

would be at home. Mrs. De Valve, the
janitor's wife, and her husband were
taken into the secret, and their assist
ance secured. The scheme worked to
charm. The confident and happy

The Cinderella Of HesSa.

The old Princess of Hanau. who has
Just died ut Prague, in Bohemia, was
remarkable woman, who made n con-
siderable stir in her earlier life. She
was the widow of the last kurfurst or
Prince Elector of Hesse. 1t was through
her graSping ambition. ard her equally
reSolute grasping after wealth, that the
ruler became involved in quarrels with
His Ministers and people. The Princess
was Il sort of Griseda or Cinderella,
without the romantic tenderness of
those heroines of legend. She was the
daughter of n wine dealer ut Bonn, on
the Rhine. Lieutenant Lehman, Il
young Prussian officer. fell in love with
Ter; they were married, and had several
children. The future Elector, then the
Crown Prince of Hesse. was fascinated
by her, and is said to have bought her
from her husband for the sum of 10000
thalers. After legal divorce had been
effected she married the Prince. Evil
tongues said ut the timeithat the Prince
was not moved solely by love to Frau
Lehman, but by a desire to spite the
reigning Elcctor and yeX the Countess
Reichenback, to whom he was betroth-

Repulsed by Factory Girls.
Philadelphia Record.

At Kirky & Brothers canning fac
tory, Burlington, n. j., there is en-
ployed a young girl named Sallie Cook,
who resides with her guardian, David
Hughs, in that city. She had previ-
ously made her home with Mrs. Gill,
who keeps saloon in Philadelphia,
until ordered to go behind the bar and
wait upon customers, when she left the
house one morning and fled to her
lawful protector. A few days ago a
strange man appeared at the canning
factory making inquiries for Miss Cook.
The other employees in the factory
took it into their heads that the unwel-
come visitor was an emissary of Mrs.
Gill, who had come to carry the girl
off, and they determined upon re-
pulse. Forming themselves into a
solid phalanx, the factory hands began
the assault by bombariing the intruder
with decayed tomatoes aud such other
ammunition as was at convenient dis
posal. 1t took but few minutes to
convince the visitor that the "Skin-
ners," rs they are termed in Burling-
ton, were in earnest, and would prob
ably knock him out before they fin
ished their fusillade. When he re-
treated out of the the factory yard
loud and triumphant shouts rent the

cans, WORKOUT shoes, AID various odds
and ends were hurled at the retreating
stranger, who, as soon as he gained the
street, ran down the railroad track in
