Papyri Sicily.

To ascend the CyGne is very much
like making your way along back
water on the Thames, but with the en-
phatio difference that IN place of osiers
and the usual river plants aud flowers,
we have nothing but papyri. The men
soon find that to use the oars Is imprae-
ticable. They step oEt on the bank,
harness themselves with ropes-stlll
Thames fashion-and we are towed
along, brushing our way through the
tall papyri as well as we can. This long
eyot IL named after an English lady who
brought it under cultivation-that Is,
covered it with papyri. Our guide
plucked up one of the tall reeds, cut off
a piece from the thick end, and showed
us how he can convert it into paper by
shaving it into narrow strips and laying
the sections which he has thus peeled
away across each other. To convert
the material into paper tit for use, it
needs only be pressed and dried. had
never seen the process of paper making
from the papyrus before, nor, indeed,
the papyri growing. 1t Is long reed
which runs to q great height, with a
very graceful feathery top. Why the
papyrus should grow with such great
luxuriance at this particular spot and
nowhere else, as the guide told us, in
Sicily, or indeed, in Europe, is ques-
ton which, no doubt, Sir Joseph Hook
er would readily solve, but it 10 quite
out of my range of knowledge. / can
only speak of the facts as l saw them.
The next day we bought from the guide
a specimen of his manufacture -papyrus
paper, pressed and dried, yelIowish in
color, with the marks of the cross strips
very distinct, bun presenting smooth
surface. Ink does not run upon it.
You could copy manuscript, old or
new, well enough upon the material.

Queen Mar uerito cf Italy

Seems TO be greatly beloved by the
Neapoitans. They call her "the Mar
guerite of the Marguerites." Recently
when she entered Naples. every window
and doorway was adorned with her ia
vorite dower-indeed the whole city
looked like bouquet of daisies. From
Naples she went by water 10 one of the
Mediterranean ports. On gong on board
ship she found that every one, from the
Admiral commanding down to the con-
mon sailors, wore O 6Outonniere of mar
guerites, a delicate attention which
greatly pleased the Queen. Her son,
the heir apparent of Italy, bears as one
of his titles that of Prince of Naples.
When he was born that city presented
the Queen with an exquisite cradle made
of pale pink coral filed with the snowy
petals of her own delcate flower Queen
Marguerite has lost much of the bright
blond beauty which once rivalled the
charms of the Empress Eugene. She
has grown a little stout, and her sad ex-
preston and q frequently noticed redness
of the eyelids gives emphasis to the ru
NOR that she often weeps. ALI the royal
beauties of Europe have had trouble.
Eugene, the Princess of Wales, and
her pale, frightened sister, the white
dove" OF the Russians, all know what
sorrow is, and Queen Isabella, one of the
ugliest women in Europe, has not had
happy life. 1t is said that she left
Madrid in tears last month, when State
reasons forbade Alfonso to ask her to
extend the visit of ceremony she is al
lowed to make her native land once a
year.

seal this fine fur is hid by coarse hairs,
which are removed by process OF par

Alaska. The islands of the Behrine
Sea are the only ones in the world where
seal catching has great commercial inn
portancc.
From 1751 to 1870 the scientific world
knew nothing in the regard to the his

sands of men and millions of dollars
have been employed in capturing. dres-

hundred years. The vast breeding
grounds bordering on the Antarctic have
been entirely depopulaIed. Between
the years 1875 and 1921 l, ,232, 274 seal
skins were taken in the Pribylov ISL

skins, and from 1912 to 1861, 372, 900
skins. In the year 1858 the number of
skins taken was 242, 200. In ITO only
9.965 were captured. During the last
ten years tho catch has been o little less
than 100000 per year. The whole
number taken between 1898 and 1880
was 3, 561, ,051 skins. The seal catching

Cigar Facts.

Speaking OF Havana. says New York
correspondent, may adj few facts
concerning the cigar trade. New York
purchases the most costly cigars in the
world, and these, OF course, come from
Havana. Nearly 100 brands are known
here, each of which has its admirers.
These cigars are of high cost in their
own market, but the price is enormous
ly increased by the duty which is eigh-
ty per cent. Among the most noted ia
the Intimidad, which has been quoted
by the importers at the triaing sum OF
$400 per 1,0U0. They have retailed at
sixty cents apiece. but perhaps are now
little cheaper. The Henry Clay is
another popular brand of almost the
same value. They are imported in boxes
each containing fifty, and large num-
Der of these boxes are packed in one
case. There are other fine cigars of more
moderate prices, and if the reader wish
es to observe little closer economy,
there is the PriLcipal, which 10 only $500
per 1000, While the Flora de Fumar is
only one-half that price. They retail
at twenty cents and are in steady de-
mand, being. indeed, the most common
cigar found at the leading hotels. Que
tobacconist says that it is impossible to
equal an Havana cigar by any other
manufacture. The attempt has been
tried at Key West in the most careful
manner, but has failed. They imported
the finest tobacco from the valley of the
AbaJo (of which the best Havana cigars
are made), but the Key West article
proved inferior. Key West is SO near
Havana that (had the effort been sue
cessfuD the duty would have been Paved
by making up the Havana leaf. Key
West cigars are common in our market,
but they never equal the imported arti-

Hospital Beats.

'rThere are good many OF the class
called hospital dead BEATS" Said the
Superintendent OF the New York hospi-
tai. ,- - "They make ii business, especi-
ally in winter, to go from one hospital
10 another with pretended ailments, con-
tent to lie in bed and be waited upon as
long as we are willing to keep them.
The women generally claim to be afiic-
ted with hysteria. They will sometimes
lie rigid as a corpse and pretend to be
unable to move. have known such
case to be cured by one bucket Of ice
cold water suddenly dashed upon the
patient. The hospital beats are gene
rally familiar with Bellevue, where,
from long experience. they have learned
TO dispose Of such cases summarily, SO
that the old FOUNDERS get tired of at
tempting their impositiOns.
Zone of the most successful frauds
ever saw practised was by o girl OF
nineteen. She came here well recon-
mended, and claimed to be afflicted with
rheumatism. She gave her name az
Mary Reed. She was SO pretty, modest.
and amiable that she soon became fa-
vorite in the hospital. She was tract
able and easily managed. As she re-
covered her strength she showed de-
sire to help other atients.
"One day rather course man called
to see her, and said she was his wife,
and he wished TO take her home when
she got well. We were all surprised to
discover that she was married.
Her story was that she had been at
service with wealthy family up the
Hudson: that this man was the coach
man. and she had married him; that
soon after they were married her hus-
band got out of employment, and in or
der to help him along she had come out
to service.
"The girls manner was 80 plausible,
and she told her story with such cap
tivatlng simplicity, heightened by O
pretty foreign accent, that we all be-
ieved her. As she got stronger she
went out several times, saying she was
looking for work.
"One of our patients was afflicted
with erysipelas, and we had to isolate
her in the cottage. Mary kindly vol
Unteered TO nurse the patient, and did
SO with tenderness and assiduity that
won her admiration. The patient got
well, but communicated her disease to
Mary who became very Ill. AT one time
her life was despaired of.
THE visits of the coarse man ceased.
Then another man came and claimed
her as his wife. He was Spaniard, and
evidently O sailor. Our SUSPICION was
aroused. His story was that he had met
the girl at Gibraltar, where she was
known as the daughter of Spanish
Jew; that she had couae to this country
with him, and that he supported her
here, bat that while he was absent on
one of his voyages she had left him. He
was willing, however, to forgive her and
marry her, and they finally made uD
their disagreement and went off togeth-
er. The Spaniard said that her sister
was one of thefavorite wives of the EN-
peror of Morocco, who had taken great
fancy to her and bought her from her
parents"

THE members of the Wilmington Con-
ference. as will be seen by the proceedings
in another part of this paper gave express
sion very decidedly on two subjects that
have both moral and political side,
namely, Mormon Polygamy and the Liquor
traffic. The first named has been in the
.hands of the politicians since the days of
President Fillmore, and the thirty years
intervening, time enough to have thor
oughly wiped out the foul blot, shows
nothing done. The bill that passed Con-
gress Yesterday was the result of the
moral force behind it, largely fostered by
the Christian ministry, and the church.
The outspoken declaration for organ
ICED efforts and financial support" to sup
press the liquor traffic and earnest efforts
to form correct opinion" will have q
powerful influence if they have the courage
of their convictions in working as they
vote. There are few men it scares to be
called a fanatic" i" but the strength ofsenti
ment among the ministry it would appear
has placed the most of them beyond this
The ministers as the leaders, in all meas
ures to reform humanity, must proceed
as if there were no politicians in the way
and they will gain respect for thenselve
and success for their cause.
