ALL DRESS ALIKE.

In AMMAN, an empire occupying
the eastern portion of the Indo-
Chinese peninsula, with population
of 10000 900. men and women wear
their hair in the same way and dress
almost alike. Like the man, the
| woman wears the turban, long tunic,
wide loose trousers. and bright sash,
the ends falling below the knees The
physiognomy is almost the same, as
the men are beardless and have their
hair done up like the women. The
only clew to distinguish them is the
earrings and finger-rings worn by
women only. The earrings are like
double shirt studs, and among the
lower orders are of colored glass. The
wives and daughters of mandarians
alone are allowed to wear good
jewelry. The rings are of spiral wire,
fitting tight. and standing out to some
height. Some women of the upper
class wear also necklaces of strings of
gold and silver beads.
The hat of the women is monu-
mental. 1t is like large barrel cover,
three-quarters of yard in diameter.
Six or seven silk cords as thick as quill
are fastened an each side, and when
worn fall down below the waist. Where
the ends are fastened 10 the hat on
each side is huge black or brown
silk tassel. Some of these hats are
artistically made of carefully selected
palm leaves, and lined with neatly
plated flag leaves. These are ex-
expensive, especially, when they have
chiseled silver clasps at the tassels.
Al f,r Al
mirror in the hat, before which they
arrange their turban when they 60 to
town. The hat is the article most
priced by the stylish ladies, and often
costs $40 or $l5.
The Annamites either 90 barefooted
or wear Il sandal. consisting of sole
and two straps, often lined with stuff.
The straps are crossed between the big
toe and the next In putting on the
sandal the big toe is used so much that
it becomes like a finger. AS these
sandals are loose at the heels they
cause an awkward gait and have been
abandoned by the better classes who
wear Chinese shoes and slippers. but
the fine ladies wear these very narrow
and short.
The Annamites have splendid hair.
1t is not rare to see women with hair
reaching their feet. They take great
care of it, washing it frequently with
some soapy mixture, and sitting in the
sun to let it dry, The men have little
beard and even that appears only at a
much greater age than with us, and is
never full. This makes it very hard to
tell mans age. The women are
small but well proportioned, with
small hands and feet. Their faces
would be charming if they did not
staiu their teeth black. Children are
charming until they become 7 or 8
years old. Then the nose hattens, the
cheek bones become prominent, and
the eyes assume the inclination seen in
adults.
The attire of children is not ex-
pensive. In summer they run about
the streets naked, or at most with a
little skirt not reaching the knee. All
have coin, or amulet, around the neck
to keep off evil spirits and disease.
The hair is cut close. except a tuft on
the top of the head or Il lock at each
temple.

A Caste of Holy Beggars.

Most people have heard of holy
castles of beggars, though not of royal
castles. There is royal caste of beg
gars in Nanking. 1t was founded by
Hung WI. the first monarch of the
Ming dynasty. He did it because,
having once been in the mendicant
line himself. he wished to oblige an old
beggar chum. Il don't want anything
from your majesty" said the latter,
except to have plenty to eat and wear
and nothing to do" He couldn't have
put it better. The beggar had his
wish. The caste of which he was the
first chief lives in certain large leaves"
in the wall of Marking. The police
appoints the head of the beggars.
They are well off. They are a close
corporation. All other beggars are
small potatoes" in comparison with
the royal beggars. The royal beggars
live out of curiosity. Their apart
ments are lofty and airy. They smoke

ON THE CRUISER CHICAGO.
An Early Morning Scene on II Warship at
Sea.

Rufus F. Zogbaum, in Scribner's,
writes entertainingly of Uncle Sans
Blue Jackets" He thus describes the
waking up of the crew of the Chicago:
''Bos'n's mate there! Call all hands!
Call in the deck lookouts! Lay aloft
the lookout to the masthead" the
orders follow in rapid succession.
Turn off the spar-deck circuitr' and
the great red and green lights on the
port and starboard sides of the bridge
and the light at the masthead are ex-
tingushed by the touch of a button in
the "dynamo-room" below, while a
sailor goes tripping up aloft' tc the
foretop-sail yard. simultaneously with
a long-drawn shrill whistle OF the boat
swain's pipe, echoed on the gun-deck
by others, and the hoarse cry of the
boatswain's mates calling: ''Aa-ll
great ship is waking up, and out of
the matches the men come tumbling
one after the other--sailor-men, APP
prentice boys, firemen, marines, cooks,
and ''all handsn-each with Il ham
mock neatly rolled ready to be placed
in the nettings in the bulwarks.
Brawnv, bare-chested. bare-footed fell
lows, most of them; regardless of the
cold wind blowing and the wet decks,
they run nimbly TO their appointed
stations, some clambering up and
opening the nettings, while the others
pitch their hammocks in and stow them
away and out of sight for the day. As
we lean over the rail now and look
down the scene is an animated one.
The deck forward is swarming with
men. and Jackie" is making his
morning toilet and preparing for
breakfast and the days routine. See
that gigantic young coXswain yonder
as he souses his well-soaped neck and
face into the cold water in the bucket
before him. spluttering and blowing
away like a grampus, then rubbing
and polishing his muscular. sun-burned
neck and broad white back and hairy
chest with his rough, parti-colored
towel. With his little circular mirror
perched on a coil of rope another
sailorman is carefully parting his thick,
curly locks. while a sbipmate looks
over his shoulder and gives a final
twist to his black silk neckerchief. and
IA marine brushes his coat and huns
softly to himself meanwhile. The
steam from the galleys is rising out of
the matches, and with it-mingled, it
must be confessed, with smell of oil
and grease from the engincs-an odor
of hot coffee and broiling bacon, and
the boatswain's whistle is heard again
piping to breakfast

Bombay Oysters.

The very newest thing about town
is the Bombay oyster" The Bonn
bay OYSTER isn't an oyster a all, of
course, but this is the name that has
been bestowed on it. 1t is compo-
sition sufficiently simple and common
to please the lean and lard ed purse
alike. 1t is nothing more than an egg
dropped uubroken into tumbler and
deluged with vinegar and sprinkled
with pepper and salt. 1t is consumed
always before breakfast and br great
many sporting men il the city. One
of its effects is to counterfeit the evil
tendencies of overdrinkinr aud over
eating. Some stout men Ike Il Bonn

nothing again until noon. For bill
iouS stomach it is the finest kind of
remedy. Globe

They VIII Never Know.

The administration has real mys-
terry, says the Washington Star, and
the best of the joke is, that it will re-
main mystery until time shall be no
more. North Dakota will seek in vain
for the testimony which shall indi-
cate that it was admitted to the union
a few seconds in advance of South Da-
kota, and South Dakota can hunt until
the crack of doom for evidence that
would give it a similar desirable SEN
iority. The question of priority must
forever remain unanswered, simply
because no one can answer it.
When the president received from
the state department the two procla-
nations, wanting only his signature.
the question of priority at once came
up. and it was found difficult to de-
eide.
1t was grave situation for the pres
ident, and he evidently realized it, but
he steered his way out of the difficulty.
The documents unlocked at, were laid
face downward on the desk on sheet
of paper and then they were shutfied
until the most expert trickster at cards
could not have told which was which
When this state of the game had
been reached the proclamations were
turned face upward, but protected
from the gaze of every one by the
sheet of paper on which they had been
laid. The sheet was slipped aside un-
til the blank spaces for the presiden-
tial signature were exposed. The au-
tograph was appended, the ink al
lowed to dry. the proclamations turned
over once more, and again vigorously
shutfied. The two Dakotas were adj
mitted to the union of states, and, al
though one of them was ahead of the
other just the length of time it took
the president to write his name, his
tory will never be able to record the
name of the first one. 1t is a profound
mystery, I'D always will be

The Advent OF Autumn.

There's silent. solemn spirit stealing oven
vale and hill.
And the fragile foweret falters In its breath
so faint and chill;
All the leaves pause In their waltZes and take
on a somber hue,
While the wandering Ivy bushes meath its
veil of pearly dew.
Golden fruit is dropping, dropping from the
overloaded tree,
And the bird is sad and silent; strangely idle
Is the bee:
But the naughty corn stands proudly in the
cool September day,
All unmindful of the Ruler whose grim con-
sort is Decay.
Strange vague signs and faint aroma thrill
and fill the atmosphere,
Sleepy sounds of mystic stirring float about
and charm the ear;
And the nights become aggressive and en-
croach upon the days.
While the moons intenser brightness strives
TO set the fields ablaZe;
And the lovers, strangely pensiye, silent,
lustrouS-eyed, and sad,
Hearts with sympathy o'erfiowing, far too
thoughtful TO he glad.
Husbandman and careful matron linger in the
fruited lane.
And the prattle OF the children has one note
of sad refrain;
Fen the kline with half-rlled udders wander
listless III the sun,
Their dull natures dimly conscious of new
rulings scarce begun.
All bow to this solemn sovereign ere she waves
her regal hand,
Ere her throne she has ascended, ere her
vision sweeps the land
Ere the crown rests OH her forehead all her ST.
lent will obey,
While Perfection. sadly kneeling, yields her
trophies TO Decay.
