How on earth can such an insignificant
proceeding prove of any conse-

Land lubbers fail to see great

your own superstitionsP You won't
walk under ladder or string; YOU
have dread of any thing that numbers
thirteen; You won't cross the line OF a
funeral procession; You won't look AT
the new moon over the left shoulder,
and all that kind of thing. A fisher
man cares nothing for such childish
whims. and yet You call us superstiti-
Gus. I've got You here, my lad. this
time. You ask any fisherman if the
hatch falling upside down is not a sign
of the very worst kind of luck, and if
he says no, why, I'll eat my hat. That
is one of the surest signs of thcIA all.
and the fellow who does il is signaled
ont as unlucky. and I'll bet drinks for
the crowd that the skipper Of any sail

"Oh, that is simple. Year in and
year out from our boyhood we study
the signs in the heavens, which are
very accurate. Certain stars, bright
Dr dull, mean certain things. The
wind from given quarter in a certain
month is almost sure to bring stormy, |
air, dry or wet weather as the ease
nay be. The moon gives us great

AN EASTERN PALACE.

Mr., sala's Glowing Description of the In
comparable Palace of Jeypore.
Seven stories of such wild and love-
ly structure as you would expect to sea
only in dreams rise here, one above
the other, in rose-red and snowy white
balconies, oriels, arches, pilasters, lat
tices and domes- gay everywhere with
frescoes and floral ornaments. In this
lowest floor, which is kept--like the
second and third--as winter resi-
dence, we are permitted TO inspect
priceless volume, the abstract of the
Mahabharata in Persian. made BY the
orders of Akbar the Great at cost Of
forty thousand pounds, and illustrated
in the most exquisite manner with col
ored and gilded miniature pictures, OF
an incredible delicacy. The Shobha
Newas, floor above. is full of strange
paintings on the wall, and arcades EN-
bellished with gorgeous shells of cop
per. silver and foil. Next we ascend
to the Chhabl Newas, or "hall of splen.
dor, shining with polished marbles
and colored enameling. Above this
is the Shish Mahal, the pavilion OF
glass, with endless patterns wrought
in little mirrors let into carved plaster
work, and above that we step forth
upon the Mokt, or ''crownn of the pal.

chambers. vaulted by graceful curved
cupolas. Beneath lie the green palace
gardens, full of pomegranates, palms
and bananas; and beyond the spread of
the countless busy streets and lanes,
girdled by the walls, and over
hung by the encircling hills, topped
with forts and temples. 1t is
vain to attempt any description of that
enchanting prospect, more absorbing
than any which India herself can offer.
Nature and man have here allied them
selves to produce the most perfectlan
scape conceivable. In green and gold,
in rose color and white, in distant dim
blues and grays, the gardens and the
city and the far-off walls and mountain
ridges of timber group together at our
feet, picture to delight the eye and
feast the mind But how can words

of rose-red streets which intersect Jey-

the scene feast is being given TO
Brahman men and women on one of
the many ilat-roofs of the Upper

HINTS TO GUESTS,

House Agreeable.


House Agreeable.
Beware of the chair with one or two
weak legs and frail back. There is
such a chair in every home. 1t is more
or less cripple generally more, often
very much mOre-and nine out of ten
guests will pick it out from among a
dozen and lop down into it. never
missed doing that myself. | wonder
that folks don't label such chairs as
follows: Don't sit in this chair; it is
a cripple, and is kept only to iii up a
corner.
Always say that the baby is the hand
soonest child you ever saw, and that it
strikingly resembles both its father and
mother. A little lie like that on the
part of the guest doesn't cost cent,
and helps wonderfully to clear away
the gloom that has been cast over the
family circle by an unexpected visitor
who has come in just as the tea and
white sugar are gone.
Don't compare the coffee of your
hostess TO muddy water ana her pie
crust 20 sole-leather because she asks
you to make Yourself "perfectly at
home" and to feel '.iust as if YOU were
in itur own house" " She doesn mean
yon to feel at home quite that far.
Don't try to sing in the house of
your host. You should cast as liule
gloom as possible over the home Won
are visiting. Ifyou have a desire To sine
and can not stiile it. 90 TO the woods.
If YOU sing as wretchedly as some folks
| have heard. including my mothcr-in-
laws daughters husband, 20 several
miles into the woods before YOU let
your warbler loose.

Monument to a W orkingwoman.

Recently a monument has been
erected in Annaberg, Saxony, to the
memory of Frau Barbara Uttman, in
recognition of the great services rem
dered to the workingwomen of Saxony
three hundred years ago, when great
distress was prevailing on account of
lack of work. Barbara Uttman made
a journey TO Brussels and learned lace
making, making specially of point
lace; then returning TO Annaberg she
instructed her Acknowledgements
in this art. and so relieved great deal
OF suffering. The monument is
