Some years ago Charles Busch, a
naturalized German-American accom-
panied by his pretty Italian wife, sailed
for France to accept an engagement as a
tenor singer in one of the opera COM
panies in Paris. En- route. child. who
named Charles Herman Busch, was born
to them. The mother died shortly after
reaching France, and the father soon
followed her. The child. having been
born on the high seas, was literally with
out country. The French authorities
refused to administer upon the fathers
estate or provide a gurdian for the infant,
because neither of the parents was a citi-
zen of the republic Consul Slackel-
ford could do nothing without permission
from the government.
After two years delay this permission
was finally granted. The American
colony in Paris became interested in the
child, who is said to be remarkably
bright and precocious, and fund has
been subscribed sufficient to rear and
educate him until his 10Th year, when an
effort will be made to appoint him a
cadet at the naval academy ut Annapolis.
The little fortune of s27,O francs, the
proceeds of his fathers estate, will be
invested for him and placed at his dis
posal when he shall have finished his
education. Washington Cor. Chicago

The question, do nice women smoke?
brings up very pretty implement with
which they may smoke if they so choose.
The latest novelty exhibited in Broad
way jewelry store is a tiny pipe that
only woman could carry to her lips.
Its stem is a trifle shorter and smaller in
diameter than the average mcerschaum
and is made of gold set with ganets,
moonstones and emeralds. The mouth
piece is of yellow and pink veined onyx,
and the bowl, which might hold half a
thimbeful, is heavily set with small
gems. The toy is worth something like
800, and at a gilt edged fine affair when
cigars are brought in with the coffee, if
a lady chooses to remain at the close of
dinner, it may make prettier combina-
ton than beauty and the cigarette.
The jeweler says that the first pipe Of
this sort was made to order for q woman
of some social position, and that he has
had four or five calls for them since. The
talk of ladies smoking is much exagge-
rated, however. There are numbers of
Cubans and Spaniards and some French
women Of beauty and position who buy
cigarettes in person, smoke them at din
ners and offer them to lady friends in
their boudoirs. But they are only i'm
porting foreign custom, which does not
strike any strong root here. New York

In Guatemala chocolate has always
been made in the form of round cakes of
varying thickness, and during the adj
ministration of President Carrera, who
governed from 1910 to 1865, the fertile
Jesuitical brain discovered Il new use for
these chocolate cakes. At this time
throughout Central America the Jesuits
were very wealthy and powerful. See
ing the clouds gathering which burst
with such fury upon them in Barrios'
rise, they determined to transfer their
immense stores of gold to European and
other foreign stations Of their order, but
there existed heavy export duty on
gold. To evade this they decided to ship
chocolate, and in the secrecy of their
their own houses they nodded thirty
two ounces of gold into each cake of
chocolate, placed the cargocs on pack
mules under trusted men, and sent them
to Livingston, the nearest port, for ship
ment to Europe. A vigilant officer at
that port discovered the fraud, and the
government confcated the entire lot,
over 100000, and, strangely enough,
had strength enough to refuse to return
it. The same idea was not tried again,
but who knows how many times it had
succeeded before Cor. New York Times.

The city of Semipalatinsk, which has a
population Of about 10, 900 Russians, Korg-
his and Tartars, is situated ON the right
bank of the river Irish, 4S0 miles south
east of Omsk and ABOUT 900 miles from
Tiumen. It is the seat of government of
the province of Senlipalatinsk, and is
commercially a place of some impor-
tance, owing to the fact that it stands on
one of the caravan routes to Tashkend
and central Asia, and commands a large
part OF the trade of the Kirghis steppe.
The country tributary to it is pastoral
rather than an agricultural region. and of
its 547, 900 inhabitants 407, 900 are no
MAIDS, who live in III, 900 kibitlSas or
felt tents, and own more than y, 900, 900
head of live stock, including 20, 900 cam
els. The province produces annually,
among other things, $4,000 pounds of
honey, 10000 pounds of tobacco, 100,-
600 bushels of potatoes, and more than
$4,000, 900 bushels of grain There are
held every year within the limits of Ethe
province eleven commercial fairs, the
transactions of which amount in tho ag.
gregate to about $1,000, 900. Forty or
fifty caravans leave the city of Semi
palatinsk every year for various points in
Mongolia and central Asia, carrying Rus
sian goods to the value of from $3.50, 900
to 100000
1t is hardly necessary, suppose, to
call the attention of persons who think
that all of Siberia is an arctic waste to
the fact that honey and tobacco are not
arctic products, and that the camel is
not a beast of burden used by Eskimos
on wastes of snow. If Mr.. Frost and l
had supposed the climate of southwest
em Siberia to be arctic in its character,
our minds would have been dispossesst d

The simple city man who has labored
hard for six days, and needs really to lie
on his back one day in the week and rest,
dresses ON this hot Sunday morning more
deliberately and painfully than ever. He
puts on more starch and more stiffness.
So does his wife; so do the children.
They then go forth in the hot sun to seek
for pleasure. They do not get it in the
streets. They board the car. The car is
crowded with other stiff and starched,
hot and flushed Sunday pleasure seekers.
There is no pleasure on the car. They
go, then, on board the excursion boat.

CHILL PILLS

These Pills are a specific and anti.
dote for Chills, Fevers and all forms
of Malaria Disorders. We have not
known a single case of chills dumb
or shaking) that they have failed to
cure, when taken in strict accordance
to printed directions. In majority of
cases single box is sufficient to cure,
but in long continued cases when they
have returned again and again, more
is required. AS a tonic to build up the
broken down constitution produc6dby
over exertion, fevers, &c, these pills
cannot be excelled; they promote the
appetite, relieve headache, backache,

The kitchen, which is always an out
side cabin, is minus a chimney; an Gle
waited sort of range OF hob is built out
into the floor, on which the cooking is
done, sometimes by means of charcoal,
but oftcner with brushwood and smaller
sticks, the smoke escaping through
hole in the roof. There is generally an
old fashioned brick oven outside for
baking bread, but it is seldom used, as
few families now bake their own bread.
They buy 1t if near or in a village from
n bakers cart which makes its rounds in
the country from the nearest store, where
it can Ike procured fresh twice a week.
Many households do without the article
altogether, or only get enough to serve
with ''early morning coffee, small bit
of toast being put with each cup. They
use in its place some of the substitutes of
which are classed under the one generic
term, "bread kind" These consist of
boiled or baked yam, roasted bread fruit,
potatoes, rice, cooked unripe plantains,

which are breads made from the grated
manioc root from which tapioca is also
prepared. .-Detgoit Free Press.

HINTS FROM THE JAPANESE.

How We Could Learn from the Mikado'a
People to Simplify Our Homes.
We have been looking at some Japan

ment! how few things" to care for and
be anxious about Now the Japanese arg

OF high breeding, polish, refinement.

and come out on the other side of every
thing. They have learned to take things
rather easily, not to fret, and to get on
without great many encumbrances that
we still YEARLY carry along.
When we look at the Japanese houses
and at their comparatively simple life,
are we warranted in saying that they are
behind us in civilization? May it not be
true that they have lived through all our
experience and come down to an easy
modus vivendi? They may have had
their bric-a-brac period, their overload
ing-establishment age, their various
measles stages of civilization before they
reached condition in which life is a
comparatively simple affair. This
thought must strike any one who sees
the present japanese craze in this coun-
try. For, instead of adopting the Jap
anese simplicity in our dwellings, we are
adding the Japanese excentricities to our
other accumulations of odds and ends
