A Queen Among Woman.

The queen of Greece is said to be the
finest looking queen in Europe. She
is the eldest daughter of Grand Duke
Constantine of Russia. brother of
Alexander H. She is tall and stately,
and looks like queen. She is blonde,
with brown hair, regular features, and
with beautiful neck and shoulders. She
dresses very simply except on state oc-
casions. and often goes about Athens
without even maid with her. The
queen is a woman of culture, and speaks
Russian, Italian. German, French, Greek
and English perfectly well, and she is
now studying Albanian.
The king and the queen have been
blessed with seven children, and the
youngest is baby about year old.
Prince Andreas is seven, and the
Princess Maria, who is a very bright
blonde, is thirteen. Next comes the
Princess Alexandra. very pretty girl
of nineteen, and then Prince George.

year-old baby, speak French, English.
Greek and Russian, and the home life
is said to be cal3xming.

A Modern Recipe for a Dinner.

The modern recipes for making din
ners are framed upon the supposition
that you are to obtain the materials of
manufacture for nothing. They should
be written in this form: Go to the
market and beg beef bone from the
butcher; steal couple of parsnips and
half dozen potatoes from the ped
dler's cart; get your grocer to trust you
for half pound of rice; borrow from
your neighbor cupful of flour; from
another neighbor hod of coal; put
your bone into quart of water and
let it stew slowly; slice your potatoes
and parsnips; get an onion somewhere
and slice it also; put them in with the
bone; stew two hours and add your
-four. Simmer twenty minutes and
serve. This dinner will supply a
father and mother and sixteen chill
dren, according to the modern cook
book. Cost, one match to light fire.

Pop Went the Weasel.

A Bailey Hollow Pa.) hunter re-
Gently saw weasel hopping over the
dead leaves in a piece of woods near
Dalton. dodging and shifting at the
ground as it ran. Soon the hunter saw
that the weasel was in pursuit of rab-
bit, and presently he got sight of the
latter. When the rabbit discovered
that it was being chased by its deadly
foe it darted into hole. The weasel
followed it. and staid in the hole sew
eral minutes. Then it skipped into the
hole of another rabbit. where it re-
mained about the same length of time.
When it reappeared the hunter shot it
as it was making for the burrow of an
other rabbit. On cutting the weasel
open he found that its stomach was
chock full of blood. and the hunter
made up his mind that the active crea-
ture had gorged itself on the blood of
two rabbits since he first caught sight
of it.

DEvOURED BY WILD BEASTS.
The Frishtful Destruction Of Human Life
In India.

In the last number of the Nineteenth
Century of London Mr.: j. Fayrer says
that. according to official reports. 2,518
Hindoo subjects of Queen Victoria have
been devoured in 1887 by wild beasts.
while II, 74O have been killed by snakes.
Lions are no longer kings in Hindo-
stan. but tigers are growing there and
multiplying to fearful extent. In
1884 they killed LOGS persons and 27,-
$40 head of cattle. After the snakes
they are the most destructive beings in
India.
Their appetite is enormous, but their
favorite food is OK meat, and the
reasons for it are obvious. Deer are
rarely taken by surprise. and when
warned have feet too nimble for a
bounding tiger. Buffaloes have a queer
way of forming themselves into square
battalions, presenting formidable rows
of threatening horns; boars are no
towards, and fight valiantly for dear
life. But the OK and COW of India are
mild, pacific, bashful creatures, who
prefer violent deaths to good square
fight. Hence the natural fondness OF
tigers for them.
Some tigers, however, become regu-
lar maneaters. But the taste for
human flesh comes to them by acci-
dent. They generally bite their vic
TINS shoulder and turn away disguised.
But when they have once eaten up a
man they don't care for any other eat
able. For three consecutive years the
district of Nyneetal was at the mercy OF
a single maneater, who devOured some
eighty persons year.
In the same year, 1887, tigers killed
1,O63 men, but men killed l, ,4O8, bal
ance of 345 tigers to the credit of man
kind. So war is constantly carried on
on both sides, but the tiger might be
the winner in the long run. for he is
always on the alert, while Hindoos are
lazy, and, moreover hate to hunt an
animal which they consider an incar-
nation of the evil spirit. Tigers and
wolves fill them with superstitious ter
ror, as they believe these beasts have
the power of revenge after death. They
are glad if somebody else kills them;
but they don't like to be party to the
killing from fear of posthumous re-
prisals.
A few years ago, says Mr.. Fayrer, a
nabob had wolf in a trap. Not one
of his men dared to kill the beast, SO
the nabob ordered that it be freed, but
had bell first suspended to its neck.
The poor wolf, constantly betrayed on
its approach, soon starved to death.
A pretty ingenious trick, by the way,
but not practicable with tigers,

A GUARD OUTWITTED.

An amusing story reaches us from
Metz of an adventure which has Just
befallen French family living in
the neighborhood of the frontier.
These people have some relatives
residing in German-Lorraine who
invited them to luncheon q day or
two ago. Noon was the hour fixed,
but the hosts, after waiting for some
time in vain, be.ook themselves to
the frontier to meet their French
kinsfolk. They found the family
in carriage on the French side of
the boundary line trying to per-
suade the guard to let them pass !;
but as they had come unprovided
with passports the official barred
the way obstinately.
The French people, whose appe-
tites had been sharpened by long
drive, were in no humor to return
home with their hunger unappeased,
so they suggested to their German
relatives that they should hurry
back and fetch the viands which
they had provided for them. Their
perplexed hosts eagerly caught at
the idea, and soon reappeared with
goodly stock of dishes and bot
ties, the contents Of which they
proceeded to discuss in company.
The French sat down on their side
of the boundary and the Germans
on theirs, and mirth and jolity
crowned the al fresco repast. Mean
while, the official, completely check
mated, fitted about in anything but
an enviable frame Of mind. He
could not appeal to any law or reg
plation to put stop to this out
door meal, and as the French and
Germans were each "chez eux" he
had no alternative but to put the
best face on the matter and to keep
sharp lookout in the hope of catch
ing somebody tripping. He was
not, however, allowed any opportu-
nifty of finding fault, and when the
friends had finished their repast
they separated, each party return
ing to their respective homes in the
best Of humor and highly delighted
at having won victory over the
stern sentry.-London Telegraph.

A TEST OF DEATH.

If most people are afraid of any
thing it is being buried alive. That
cases do happen where it is very
difficult,eyen for the most expert
enced physician to determine wheth-
er person is really or only appar-
emily dead without having recourse
to means which, while they would
at once settle the dispute, while they
would place life, if it really still ex-
listed, in jeopardy, may be judged
from the fact that the French Acad-
emy of Sciences ten or fifteen years
ago offered a prize of 4D,000 francs
for the discovery of some means by
which even the experienced might
at once determine whether in a given
case death had ensued or not. A
physician obtained the prize. He
had discovered the following we'll
known phenomenon: If the hand
of a supposed dead person is held
toward a candle or other artificial
light, with the fingers extended and
one touching the other, and one
looks through the spaces between
the fingers toward the light, there
appears scarlet red color where
the fingers touch each other, due to
the blood still circulating, it show
ing itself through the tissues which
have not yet congested. When life
is entirely extinct the phenomenon
of scarlet space between the fingers
at once ceases. The most extensive
and thorough trials established the
truth of this observation .-Roch-
ester Post-Express.

o'clock in the afternoon of June
day, and l was hardly clear of the
city when / noticed that a thunder
storm was coming up from the dl-
rectiop in which l was headed. l
drove fast, hoping to make the ten
miles before I was caught, but when
seven miles from the city the storm
broke. The only shelter could
secure was an old wagon shed, but
while the thunder and lightning
were severe, but little rain fell.
In the half hour l was under the
shed the lightning struck near me
three times, and I was greatly re-
lieved when the storm passed on. l
drove forward for about mile and
then suddenly came upon curious
sight in the highway. A farmers
wagon was smoking and burning,
while one horse lay stone dead and
the other was plunging about. On
one side the wagon lay the body of
man. / leaped out and secured
my horse and the man was the first
approached. His clothes were on fire
over his breast and his face was
discolored. One glance satisfied me
that he was dead, The woman lay
IN heap, but when l took hold of
her hand there was a flutter of the
eyelids. A bolt of lighting had
killed one of the horses and the
man, but the woman had only been
stunned. My first move was just
what any physician would have re-
commended. l tore open the bosom
of her dress and cut the corset
strings to give her lungs chance to
play. AS the knife parted the strings
and the corsets flew open a paper
was displayed. l reached for it, and
one look told me that it was the last
will and testament of James Martin.
Then the woman must be Mrs.
Thatcher, but l should never have
known her dressed as she was. She
came to while l was releasing the
plunging horse and putting out the
fire in the wagon. The accident
had come about as | had supposed,
and in half an hour she was quite
herself again. went to the nearest
farmer, got him to come back and
assume charge Of things, and then
drove back to the city with my
prisoner. On the way in she
fully explained everything. When
Martin found himself about to die
he told her to burn the old will. In
her nervousness and being unable
to read she burned the wrong one.
When he discovered this he berated
her in as forcible language as he
could call up-indeed he fell back
| and died while cursing her. Fear
ing that she had committed some
awful crime, and hoping that if she
carried the other document off with
her she might escape all consequent
ces, she dressed herself, took the
paper and her money, and walked
over and boarded the train.
Under the will l had recovered,
all the relatives shared alike, which
was fair and just under the cireum-
stances, and instead of making any
trouble for the grass widow, they
presented her with purse Of $500
and headed her for Oregon, where
she got another husband in less
than month after her arrival.

WHO WAS THELIAR?

Six or eight men were grouped
on Park street the other day, says
the Detroit Free press, discussing
natural gas, when two got into a
dispute as to the size of a certain
pipe. They were good natured
enough at tho start, but soon grew
bitter, and one called the other a
liar He sprang up to resent it but
was held back, while an old man
said to him:
Snow then, you said the bore of
the pipe was nine inches, didn't
your
Il did! l know it is. I'll bet
my life on it
"And this man said you lied?'
''He did, and I'll mash him.
"Wait here's tape line. Let US
see. The bore of the pipe is-what?
Six inches. You said it was nine.
You lied. He told the truth when
he said you lied. Why should you
take on so when you lied? He said
you lied, and we have proved that
you lied"
But the liar broke loose and seiz-
ed club and made the crowd flee
for their lives.

JOURNEY OF LIFE.

No one, remarks the Independent,
passes through the journey of this
life, though it be but of moderate
length, without losing kindred and
friends by death, whom he tenderly
loved when living, and continues to
love long after they are gone. IF
one lives TO an advanced age, he
usually has a far greater number of
such friends in the next world than
he has in this. Death sweeps them
away, and sometimes he is left
almost alone in the respect to the
cherished compsnionships Of his
earthly life. To these loved ones
dead he can render no service. and,
so far as we know, from them re-
ceive none. He may think of them,
but he can do nothing for them.
They are entirely beyond the reach
of his action. He can speak no
kind word to them, and give them
no good advice. He can make no
sacrifices to promote their joys.
The lesson to be learned from this
fact is that we should act towards
our kindred and friends while they
are living, as we, if surviving them,
will wish We had acted while they
are sleeping in the grave. Let the
husband and the wife so treat each
other, while they hold this relation,
that the death of neither will give
the other any occasion for regret on
account ofmisconduct. Let parents
and children, brothers and sisters,
friends intimately associated, and
indeed, all men, observe the same
rule,and this certainly would be a
much happier world. The rule
would lesson the number of family
quarrels. and make life more serene
and more like heaven. Fewer hard
speeches would pass between men,
Gentleness and kindness would
be the law of human action. We
once heard man who had Just lost
a most excellent wife, say, 81 am
now sincerely sorry for every un-
kind word l ever spoke to that wo-
man. l wish | could tell her so,
and in some way receive from her
the expression of her forgiveness.
would give twenty thousand dollars
if could thereby blot out all such
words" We have no doubt that
Just this sort of feeling has penetra-
ted many bosom. The way to
avoid it is to so act towards others
that there will be no occasion for it
when they are dead and gone.

The colored line was closely
drawn the other day in New York
in the case of T. Thomas Fortune,
the colored agitator and journalist.
A saloon-keeper refused to serve
him with glass of beer, on the
ground that he was negro. When
he insisted on his rights policeman
was called, and Fortune was locked
up. A correspondent, speaking OF
the case, says it is next to impossl-
bic for colored people, however edu-
Gated or well dressed, to secure ac-
commodation or attendance in many
of the hotels and restaurants of
New York.

One OF the best arguments in
favor of the position taken by the
democrats that the tariff is tax is
a problem recently submitted by a
professor in well-known universe
ty to his students. This is the
problem ''It fifty heads of cab
bsge are brought into Vienna, upon
which there is collected at the gates
of the city a duty of l cent head,
and if the cabbage is sold to the
citizens for consumption within the
city, who pays the taxi" Even the
most biased protectionist who ac-
cepts the theory of protection as
gospel will have to answer that the
consumer pays the tax, consequent
ly the tariff is tax.
