Ladies looking at n Battle.

On lovely spring Sunday come months
aco some English ladies in Suakiu mounted
TO tho housetops end witnessed thrilling
spectacle in the clear atmosphere every
movement was visible on the sandy plain be-
hind the town, across which Osman Digna's
horsemen, posing their long spears ard With
terrific yells, charged furiously, while the
Egyptian troops drawn up in battle array
pour vollcy after voloy into tho turbaned
hosts Shells from the gunboats in the har-'
Dor Kissed over tho heads of the ladies and
plunged into tho mass Of advancing Arabs
The charge was as desperate rs tho furious
,ushcsset Abu Klea, and tho tremendous IRE
that cmptied many ssddlc did not daunt
the fanaticnl courage Of the desert warriors.
Then tho ladies saw on tho yellow sand
iierco hand to hand fight, soldiers who were
defending Themselves pierced with spears, Il
wavcring OF tho charging line, and finally
the slow retreat of the enemy, who cayried
their dead and wounded from the field as
they sullcnly retired
There was not c tres or q house to hide
single detail or to impair the vividness of that
Sunday morning spectacle. It cost over 2C0
lives, md it was one OF those rare occasions
when non-combatd1lts arc able to sec, spread
ont before them as on stage, tho carnage
md all the realities Of battle.-New York

a very ingenious indicator of the amount
Of carbonic acid in the air hns been invented
by Professor Wolpert, OF Nulnberg. The
principle Of the apparatus is that when tho
red solution of sodium phonalphthalile is
acted upon by carbonic acid it loses its color.
at regular intervals Of time, say every LOO
seconds, a drop Of the red liquid falls from
syphon OIL thread behind which is q scale.
As the drop trickles down the thread it loses
its color slowly or quickly, depending on the
amount of carbonic ecid present in the sir.
If the air is perfectly prre, the drop stays
red during its whole course. The scale shows
or parts of cGrbonic acid in 1,001 for

FORT WORTH, Tex, Feb. 10.-In this
county, twenty miles southeast of Cisco,
near Jewett, is problem to solve. A. J.
McCrain, a gentleman well known in Cisco,
came to town and brought two teeth and
other parts of the head Of large skeleton
that had been discovered in this neighbor-
hood One of the teeth weighs eight
pounds and the other sixteen pounds.
McCrain said that few days ago,
Archie Brown, one Of the neighbors, was
hunting in the woods for timber, and while
walking up the creek he noticed long
horn sticking out of the bank of the creek
and tried to pull it out, but could not. He
undertook to dig it out, and after digging
six feet came to the head. He sought aid
from the neighbors, and after digging seven
feet through hard clay, unearthed two
horns, the left foreleg and one RIB of the
monster. The lower jawbone measured
two feet and a half across the widest part
and three feet long. The head measured
five feet long and three feet between the
eyes. The horns are six feet long and
twelve inches in diameter, two feet from
the head. The left foreleg bone, from knee
to shoulder, is five feet long and eight
inches in diameter just above the knee.

HIGH LIFE IN NEW YORK.
Queer Doings at Recent Entertainment at
Mrs. Hicks Lords.

Queer Doinps at a Recent Entertainment at
Mrs. Hicks-Lord's.
New YORK, Feb. 10.-To-days iss ue of a
popular society journal, Topn Topics, con
tains some brutally frank revelations con-
corning Mrs. Hicks-Lord's super-sWell ball
of last Saturday night, which, whether
they are true or not, can not fail to create
a panic in surer-swelldom. No event of
this season, barring, perhaps, Mrs. W. H.
Vanderbilt's grand reception, ranked Mrs.
Hicks-Lord's bali for lavishness of expendl-
ture on flowers, decorations and collation. or
for the lofty character of the invited
guests Miss Rose Cleveland, Countess
Esterhazy and Mrs. Fred Grant were
among those who received with the host
ess. The society reporters had carte
blanche for unlimited adjectives in their
accounts Of the party next, morning.
Now comes the shocking disclosure that
half or nearly half of those who attended
this high-toned affair were not invited, but
simply slipped through the unguarded
doors and found the buffet as soon as posi-
BILE. Among these contraband guests
horror on horrors head-were no less than
three demi- i-mondaines whose faces were
familiar to every man about town present,
though not of course to the lady of the
house. Such, at any rate, is the story told;
and worse still, if worse were possible, So
ciety men and women, too, of distinguished
names and large bank accounts, got
drunk at the buffet and behaved in dis
graceful FORM One pretty young
woman, it is said, the wife of a prominent
merchant, was followed from room to
room by a scottish old millionaire of seventy
who insulted her with all sorts of pro-
posals. Men grabbed women in passing.
One young swell threw out Of a rare vase a
bunch of costly roses and filled the dish
with punch, which he drank off with hilari-
GUS gusto. Filling the vase again, he
showered the punch over the naked should
ers of a group Of ladies hear by. Another
man got SO drunk in the dining room that
he attempted to undress. A well known
clergyman, who is described as reverend
rounder'' by the writer Of this charming
article, distinguished himself at the buffet,
and in starting for home lighted cigar at
the door and puffed the smoke in the faces
of the lady guests. Such are only few of
the "reminiscences reduced to black and
white in the journal mentioned. However
much they have been talked about before,
they are bound to create a sensation in
their present form.
