More "reminiscences of CetewayO.
From the Pal Mall Gaeette.)

1--WE are both alike" said the late
lamented C~etewayo of her Majesty
the Queen and the late King OF the
ZuIus bore a strong resemblance to
another monarch, the uncrowned king
of electromagnetic, ir having a
strong aversion to anything bnt cash
payments. Credit, Cetewayo could
not understand and he carried his
aversion to accounts to such an ex-
tent thai he refused even to allow two
items Of his purchases to be included
in the same bill, Every article that
he bought he insisted upon paying
for separately partially, of course,
this was due to his ignorance Of arith-
metlc; but the fact led him to be Il
strong supporter of those principles
OF "no credit and cash down" which
are the watchwords of Westbourne-
Grove. Mr.. Whiteley, since the pub
cation OF his interview by telephone,
las supplemented his "reminiscences
IF Cetewayo by some other details
which may not be uninteresting. Mr..
Whiteley did not think Cetewavo
vas very much attracted by England.

ness, and ladylike demeanour Of the

A Detectives sl,rewdne~s.
[Iondon Standard. !

Only few months ago the papers gave
an instance of the acuteness of a French
detective. A man had murdered his fe-
male companion and buried her body in
cellar The corpse was discoved, and the
man then said that the woman had killed
herself by falling downstairs, and that
he had buried her secretly, fearing to
be accused of her death. He as
serted that this accident" took place
in the autumn, in October. The
detective observed the traces of smoke on
the ceiling. "You had candle when you
buried the body he remarked, and was
answered in the affirmative "And you
say you only entered this cellar that one
day in October?" The suspected man
again averred it. 'You are speaking
falsely, 'retorted the detective, and showed
the murderer, between the crevices of the
ceiling. the half-consumed larve of GER
tain insects which only lay in the spring.
and which had been burnt by his candle
at the time when he had actually buried
his victim.

came prey to two huge bears awaiting
their afternoon repast. The man lay for
few minutes insensible, with bad
wound on his head, from which there was
q copious flow of blood The spectators
for short time kept the bears employed
by throwing them endless pieces of bread,
but they made so much noise in carrying
out their well-meant stratagem that the
animals were frightened away from this
frugal entertainment, and the male,
wandering about in search of refuge, ap-
preached the more palatable food, and
licked up the blood flowing from the pros
trate sufferers wound Amid intense ex-
citement the keepers arrived. and the man
recovered his senses Seeing his danger.

keepers prepared a rope and distracted the

poles At length the prisoner clutched the

We have a tatooed man over here who
is attracting great deal of attention. This
is the Maori king, Tawhiao. The king at
tended the Haverly Minstrel show at
Drury Lane the other night, and was the
observed of all observers. He looked like
a new kind of minstrel himself Skidmore,
the interpreter probably one of the orig
inal Skidmore guards, tried TO translate
some of the jokes for his majesty, bat if
the sullen looks of the king are any eri-
terion he did not approve OF them, which
shows him to be a man of some sense.
The Maori king is tattooed in manner
that gives him surprised sort of look.
Commencing over the nose between the
eyes the tattoo marks radiatc all over
rather large forehead. 1t looks something
as if the tattooer tried to make picture
of sunrise The nose is o-namented
with little circles, and from the base of the
nose other lines come round under the
chin to the nose again. The king is tall,
but walks with an undigniaed shuttle,
Something seems the matter with his

a Convenient Fashion.
New York Times. !


To all wearcrs of false teeth the news of
the recent fashion set by Chicago society
lady will be extremely welcome. This
lady has an entire set of false upper teeth,
and she neither conceals the fact nor pre-
tends that they are preferable to real teeth.
She is also near-sighted, and wears sus-
pended to hook on the northwest summit
of her dress a pair of neat eyeglasses,
which she puts on whenever she wishes to
look at anything. Some time ago it oc-
corred to her that it would be the part of
common sense to use her teeth only when
she desired to talk or eat. Accordingly,
she now carries them suspended by cord
around her neck. When she meets a
friend she first puts on her eyeglasses and
looks at him. and then puts in her teeth
and INDUCES in conversation. Similarly,
when she goes to dinner she puts in her
teeth as soon as the soup has disappeared
and the fish is brought on. Being leader
of Chicago fashion, her example has been
followed by other ladies. and at Chicago
opera quite large proportion OF the ladies
of the audience wear their teeth gracefully
suspended from the neck.

The Jews In Russia.
boston Advertiser.1


There can be no question that the Jews
have a hard time of it in Russia. The
miserable scenes which have just been en-
acted at Novgorod are only repetition of
what has repeatedly taken place during
the past two or three years in various parts
of the cars dominions The Russian law
itself teaches the people to look with con
tempt and hostility upon the Jews. Under
that law the ayocatons open to the Jew
are strongly restricted He cannot be a
lawyer or doctor, or even a merchant in
the ordinary sense He is forever forbid
den to hope for anything like social
rank or political preferment. If he
would live, he must stick to usury and the
smaller trades He stands, moreover, in
perpetual peril of insult, outrage, and even
death. His appeal for justice in the courts
and for protection from the state Is often
little needed. The orthodox Russian, how
ever, seeks the aid and converse of the
Jew, when, as often happens, he is in need
of funds. All over eastern and southern
Russia the Jews have been for many years
absorbing the land and other properties of
the small boyard and the agricultural class,
foreclosing mortgages and grasping pledged
effects The natural issue is the ever-re
curing persecution which the government
is not always prompt to check.
