Ex-King Theebaw's Hairy Family.


Ex-King Theebaw's famous hairy
family, which he long kept jealousy at
Mandalay, are to visit Europe for exhibit
ton. The family have been renowned
in Burmese history for many years, and
the present members-a mother and a
son-form the fourth generation known.
The mother, Maphon, is 60, quite blind,
and usually sits motionless on platform,
occasionally tanning herself, and speak
ing in a low, sweet voice. She was seen
and described by Col. Yule when on a
mission to the court of Ava in 1855.
Save her hands and feet, she is covered
with long, soft hair, like her son, Mo-po-
sin, who is covered even to the drums Of
his ears, the hair in some place being
five inches long. Mo-po-sin is of me
dunn hight, with pale brown skin,
and is fairly friendly, having been partly
educated, and married to maid-of-
honor. Neither he nor his mother has
either canine teeth or grinders. Foreign

Pinsann1e cheese and Win.


A great deIicacy is Edam cheese and
wine. The usual Edam cheese, or pine
apple cheese will do, is opened by cut
ting the top off SO as to serve as lid,
and then little port or sherry wine is
poured into hole made by scooping out
a dessert spoonful of the middle. This is
left to stand and soak awhile, and after
wards, as fast as the cheese is used, more
wine is poured in. If the cheese is an
old one (and an Edam or pineapple cheese
is not good for any purpose unless it be
old, the wine will soak into it and take
the place of the original moisture that
has dried out. 1t will be impossible, I'M
til you taste it, to conceive the exquisite
effect of the combination. 1t is eaten
with water biscuit, which by the way
are to be found on all bachelor tables
this year, because they seem naturally to

all cheeses, salt or smoked meats and

midas Reptiles and VenOmous vermin.
Poisonous reptiles are so numerous and
so quick to improve every opportunity to
enter ones house in India that no one
can relax his watchfulneas for amoment
without being placed in danger of his
life. For instance, no one would think
of getting into bed without first looking
for what may be and frequently is
ensconced between the cool sheets. No
one would spring out of bed in the night
without first striking a match. Even
the bath is not luxury entirely devoid
of danger. To-day a snake is found in
ones shoe; tomorrow in the bath sponge
there is scorpion. The next day a
centipede is found under the flower
stand, and the next there is a scorpion

so1utarv Enects of Water DRINKING.

SaIutary Effects OF Water Drinking.
Those who have morbid conditions of
the stomach and bowels, which do not
SO fas impair the general vigor as to pre-
vent attention being given to ordinary
duties of life, can often use large
draughts of water, especially in the
morning, with manifest advantage.
Obstinate constipation is thereby re-
moved, the normal peristaltic motions of
the bowels are restored, and the secre-
tions may be vastly improved. We no.
tice the salutary influence of water
drinking upon many of those who resort
to the so-called mineral springs which
abound in the country. 1t is not neces-
sary that these springs should hold alb
normal quantities of salts of any kind to
effect cures; it is only necessary that the
water should be pure.-Exchange.

1t is intimated that there are s.
number of other anarchist necks to
be jerked before the performance is
over. While the hanging of the
seven anarchists already convicted
would perhaps be example enough
to put quietus upon all such agi-
tatioD, there is no reason why the
government should let any guilty
man escape. While public senti-
ment is in a healthy condition let
the dull thud be worked for all it is
worth.
Hon. Robert L. Taylor is pre-
eminently the champion and candi-
date of the yonng democracy of the
state, and upon the shoulders of the
young men the largest measure of
the work of the campaign will fall.
Let the young men realize this fact
in the very beginning of the can
vass and go to work with an earn
estness and vim which will insure
our gallant young standard bearer
a popular majority in November
sufficient to bury all hopes of the
republican party in Tennessee for
the next generation to come

awakened by blow OIL his head; he
ran to the door aud found it locked; he
tried to remove the lock, but she struck
