AN EGYPTIAN QUEEN.

Miss Kate Marsden, the missionary to the

formation about the stricken people to
whose service she has consecrated her life,

expressive enough to interpret the thoughts
she could not put in words to her English
visitor. She has an imposing figure, which
was. on the occasion OF the presentation,
draped To advantage in a well-nade black
gown. The palace of the Khedive is a pecu-
liar structure, painted entirely white, sur
rounded by court prettily decorated with
green creepers, and paved with peculiar
mosaic made of stones in two eolors all
turned on their sides The maids in attend
ance in the inner hall were all simply
dressed alike, in plain black and white
dresses.
Not man was seen about the palace,
whose furnishing is extremely plain and
simple, the only pretty room being tile CEN
tral one, IN which there were lovely mirrors
ana candelabra and beautifully nlaid and
pollshed floors. The royal lady graciously
welcomed the plainly dressed woman who
came before her in costume unlike any
thing ever seen IN the presence-chamber be-
lore, for Miss Marsden, to quote her own
words, was limited TO choice between three
severely plain uniforms, one of which was
crushed, the second very creased, and the
third on my back, its freshness all gone,
likewise some Of it's buttons" But the
meeting was. pleasant. Tea was served in
exquisite little cups with no handles. and the
plain woman in the travel-worn gown and
heavy boots was made to forget, by the
courtesy OF her royal hostess, that size was
not in full court dress.

Fortune-tellng and palnistry help to make
diversion during the evening, but the sport
is not especially thrilling, and as only one
person can be divinated upon at time as
an attraction for the company at large they
are not particularly successful.
IN interesting trick is to burn gas through
a handkerchief. Tie an ordinary handker-
chief tightly over a gas-burner with metal
tip, as shown in the Illustration. Unless the
tip IS metal the experiment will not succeed.
Turn on tue gas and light it, and 1t will burn
without even Srorching the handkerchief,
which may be removed when the gas has
been turned off. The reason the handker-
chief is not burned is because there is not
great heat in the lower part of gas flame,
and what there is is conducted away by the
metal tip of the burner. Ii the tip be not
metallic the handkerchief will get scorched.
A test of ones acquaintance with litera-

first prepared, on each of which is written

tissue paper and placed in a salad bowl.
One OF the company takes them out, one by

others guess the authors name. The first

Corea becoming Civilized.

A dispatch from Nagasaki, Japan, says
that at the funeral of the late Queen Dow
ager of Corea, at Seoul, October 18th, de-
tachment of officers and men from the
United States war steamer Monocacy took
part in the ceremonies and headed the pro
cession. And yet it was only a few years ago
that Corea was hermit nation to which no
foreigner WIS admitted, with an occasional
exception in the shape of an official embassy
or something of that sort. Twenty five years
ago an American ship was wrecked on the
coast of C0rea and every man OF the crew
was murdered. in compliance with the GUS
toms of the country. Foreign diplomacy,
backed by foreign artillery, has opened Corea
to the rest of the world, and she is now a
member of the great family of nations. The
dispatch further states that our blue jack cts
in the procession carried rifles and ammuni-
ton; this was a matter Of precaution, as
there was a possibility that the foreigners
would be attacked by the mob, and a mob in
Corea is as bad as one IN auy other part of
the world. The funeral did not pass off
quietly trouble arose between the guilds of
fishermen and butchers concerning their
respective rights of precedence in the pro-
ceSSioD, and during the discussion between
the guilds eighteen men were killed and 200
wounded. But we must not cenSure the
Coreaus too severely for their mode of set

custom from our own country or some other

fined to political organizations, fire-engine

Perhaps the secret lies in the simple fact
that the woman of 20 must be pleased, While
the woman OF 40 tries to please, and the

been so often SAID, in understanding and

that he is entertaining the wel-informed

she never dreamed of. And the woman "A

THE SEAS SALTNESS.

Some Singular and Interesting Beliefs
About the Salt Sea.
There are hundreds of queer myths and
traditions given to account for the fact that
the sea is salt.
The Arabs say that when the first pair
sipned they were living in a beautiful gar
den on tract of land joined to mainland
by narrow neck or isthmus. When it be-
came known 10 the Holy One that his peo-
pie had sinned he went TO the garden for the
purpose of driving them out and across the
narrow neck of land into the patch of thorn
and brambles on the other Side. Anticipat-
ing what would be the consequences of their
heinous crime. they had prepared to leave
their beautiful garden and had actually
gone so far as TO send the children and the
goats across into the thcket.
When the Holy One appeared on the
scene the first pair started to run, but the
woman looked back. For this the man
cursed her and for such crime was almost
Immediately turned into a huge block of
salt. Compare with Genesis xix :26) The
woman, more f0rgiving than her husband
stopped to pick up the shapeless mass of
salt, when immediately the narrow neck of
land began 10 crack and break. As she
touched what had 1nce been her companion
she, too, was turned TO salt Just as the
{ neck of land sank and the waters rushed
through.
From that day to this. the Arabs say, all
the waters of the ocean have rushed through
that narrow channel at least once year,

decade theIe is an increase in this number
of about per cent. He believes that the
desert lands cOuld support one person TO the
square mile, the poor grass lands ten per-
sous, while the fertile area could easily sup
port 207 persons, this being the service per-
formed by good arabic land in China, Japan

could support about 6.000, 100000 human
beings, and assuming The increase at per

rangement the bottom of one has been
blackened by holding it over a candle, and
this one is given to the subject. The latter
is directed to fix his eyes steadily on the
operators face, and to initiate every motion
as exactly as possible. The "mesmerist"
then dips his finger in the water in his
plate, rubs it on the bottom and draws q
line on his face. The subject copies the
movement, only of course the line he makes
is black one. His eyes being fixed steadily
ahead he does not see that his finger is
blackened, and so he continues 10 follow the
movements of the operator until his face is
criss-crossed in every direction with sooty
stripes. He is then told that he is not a
good subject, as the mesmerist cannot con-
troll him, so he is allowed to leave his chair
and is then conducted before mirror,
where, amid the laugh of the spectators, he
discovers the trick that has been played.
The ingenuity of the mesmerist' may be
brought into action in this instance by In
