was attended by circumstances much
more agreeable, and scarcely less aston
ishing.
The garroter had not done his work
bunglingly, but with neatness and dis
patch; and the insensibility into which,
the victim had, in this instance, been
thrown was profound, but not dangerous.
It was likewise soon after daylight
when Jasper gradually experienced re-
turn to consciousness. His first sensa-
tion was that of some one opening his
shirt-collar, and otherwise ministering
gently to him; and then he felt soft
hand applying water to his forehead.
He opened his eyes and sat up, to find
himself in large doorway or vestibule,
with his wants being attended to by
young woman, evidently servant, who
had bowl of water in her hands.

MANKINO's VANITY.

deal of publicity, and the accountants

some notion of the amount of money
which the heavy advertisers in this
line must spend. A man who some

the more experts write about the COM

RUSSIAN MORALITY.
How OfficiaIs Are Usually Promoted Ii
the Land of the Czar.

How Ohicials Are Usually Promoted In
the Land of the Czar.
The promotion of Russian official,
seldom the reward of merit or the rec
ognition of honest effort, is not unfre-
quently the work of his wife's hands
am personally acquainted with several
families whose relative well-being has
been obtained in this manner. A friend
of mine, a mild. kind-hearted, well-edu-
Gated man, who would not knowingly
hurt fly or hesitate to make a heavy
sacrifice to save or help his sworn one
my, is case in point His promotion,
which took place few years ago, was
the goal for which his young, hand
some, easy-conscienced wife had been
eagerly striving for two years before,
constantly consorting with two profit
gate officials, through whom the NOM
ination was at last made. All this was
done without my friends countenance
or connivance, his wife being separated
from him until the matter was ended.
His qualifications for the post which
lie now occupies are about equal to
those of red Indian fresh from the
prairies for that of channel pilot, and
he does more unintentional harm than a
thoroughly dishonest man could effect
of deliberate purpose. Another notori-
GUS case in point is that of high off,
cial very well known to every Russian
journalist and author from Warsaw to
Vladivostok, from Archangel to Tifis,
whose wife lives openly with Cabinet
Minister, her husbands protector.
From this coign of vantage she has
watched for years over her husbands
material interests to considerable pur-
pose; and it is greatly TO be regretted
that the man whose official duties de-
mand degree of wisdom, knowledge
and kindliness far superior to that
called for by any other post in the EN-
pire, should have no stronger resem-
blance to Marcus Aurelius, in whom all
three qualities were so harmoniously
blended. .-Fortnightly Review.

How 1ime Has Chanped Har.

One day last week customer in one
of the large Brooklyn dry goods stores
stood waiting for her turn to be served
and idly watching the woman who was
claiming the attention of the clerk at
the moment There was nothing about
her to attract a second glance. She
looked to be close upon sixty years of
age, her hair was very gray, though not
white, and pair of rather dark eyes
looked out from colorless, unimpres-
sive face. In figure she was short and
small, and the black costume she wore
was simple to plainness Yet when
she gave her name and address for q
parcel to be sent it was realized that
this little woman of insignificant ap-
pearance was one whose name eighteen
years ago was in eyerybody's mouth
from one end of the country to the other,
and whose personality at that time was
almost as we'll known as her name. She
was Mrs, Theodore Tilton.-M z.

MoHAMME0AN SAILORS.
A Queer Crew of Them on Board the ship
KaramanIa.


karamanIa.
AS soon as the sun went down FORTY
seven dusky sons of Hndoostan knelt
down upon the deck of the good ship
Karamania ard anointed themselves
with oil, and, with many gesticulations,
prayed fervently to Allah to guide and
protect them in a strange land.
The vessel had just arrived at Pier
No AZ, on the Delaware river. The
men are Bengalese and Malays, and
they were engaged by Captain Young in
Calcutta. 1t is the first time that such
a crew has ever been brought to Phila-
delphia. They make good, steady sea-
men, but they lack the strength anden-
durance of Europeans, as we'll as the
desire for rum and tobacco. They are
very religious and pray five times a
day They believe that if they are good
they will go to paradise when they die
and have innumerab'e wives The num-
Der OF their hOuris in Heaven depends
upon their behavior on earth, and there
fore they pray and call upon Allah at
every opportunity.
The 1slamites are very particular
about their food. They will not eat
any thing that has been killed or
dressed by an infideL They have their
own butcher on board. He is very in
telligent Bengalese. His name is Nure
Mohamad and he is called ''the butler"
His method of killing sheep, oxen and
fowls is to cut their throats and then let
them bled TO death. The men are hor-
rified at the sight of pork, and they all
love rice and curry.
Every new moon they make holi-
| day dress up in fine clothes and march
around the ship chanting passages
from the Koran, and calling upon the
lady moon to give them lots of wives.
| They are virtuous on earth, and save
themselves to have a good time when
they get to paradise.
| All of them are fatalists, and firmly be.
lieve that when they get the straight
! tip from Allah, by vision or other
wise, that they must die at once Any
delay would subject them to no end of
trouble in the future life, and reduce
the re OF Their harem. Two men re-
ceived the mystic message during the
voyage, and they jumped overheard
/
The others env.ed them, and thought
how they must be enjoying themselves
Captain Young says that he engaged
the crew in Calcutta, and he is we'll
satisfied with them. The English Gov
ernment holds the Anchor Line respon-
sible for tho well-being and safety of
the men. and they can only be brought
! to America because the Karamania
touches Liverpool on her journey from
India No native crews are allowed on
vessels going direct to a foreign port
from Ind a. The Karamania brings
over valuable cargo of linseed. 1t is
the intention of the Anchor line to es-
tablished regular trade to Philadei-
phia. All the Indian trade has hereto
fore been done W. tn New York. -Phila-

l made break for the Office to secure

thought fast asleep There was strong
odor of coal gas in the room, but in the
heat of passion at what thought was
case of neglect of duty, paid no at
tention to this, but grabbing him by
the collar of his coat yanked him out
on to the floor. AS he was little slow

water and threw the contents over him,
bringing him to his senses instanter.

gone to sleep or tainted. Every things

way.

I rushed back to- my engine, whistled
for f1agman and pulled out, vowing
Vengence on that operator in the shape
of report to the superintendent upon
my arrival at Washington. That re-
port never went in.
II had gotten my train under way and
was going only about five miles an hour
when, just as we swung around
McGruder's curve, the track sank under
me, and with loud crash and a splin-
tering of buffers we came to dead stop,
with the front part of my engine sunk
about three feet below the track in mud
and gravel. There was a dangerous
! quick-sand there, and it had washed
about fifteen feet of the earth away
from under the track. Owing to our rate
of speed good shaking up was about
all we got, but suppose for one minute
that red signal had not been down on
US at Wilson's. They'd have picked us
up all in pieces, as would have gone
into that hole at the rate of forty miles
an hour.
''Both the day and night operators at
Wilson's were practical jokers. A
bright idea struck the day man, and
climbing noiselessly on to the roof OF
the Office he placed board over the
chimney, shutting off the draft of the
stove. After performing this brilliant
feat he went home for nights rest,
resolved to learn the next morning the
result of his Vaccinations. The stove
door was partly open, the gas from the
stove was forced out, it soon filled the
room, and had not been stopped by the
red signal the chances are the boy
would have been smothered to death.
So you see the multiplication of circum.
stances engendered by that practical
joke although it nearly killed one per,
son, saved my life and many more be-
hind me. Chicago journal

IN A FRENCH CHATEAU.
Arlstocratic Ladies Whe Begin the Day
With q Bowl of Soup.

AristOcratic Ladies Whs Begin the Day
With q Bowl of Soup.
There is usually plenty of gayety go
ing on in the country places around
Paris. Not so in the prov .ncial chat
eaus, where the great families of the old
aristocracy now spend a cons. derable
portion of the year. The shoot ng sea-
son brings visitors and consequent ami
nation for short time; but the SIM
plicity of the usual home-life would
astonish English preconceived ideas.
The first meal is habitually served in
the bedrooms, tea, coffee or chocolate on
a tray with roll and butter. Many,
however, have kept more primitive
ways, and we could name lad es of
princely rank beginning the day with a
bowl of pumpkin soup. We may quote
an instance of a young English lady,
who, by very rare privilege, was per-
mitted, on visit, to share the private
life of great French family in their
chateau The Marquise -, digni-
fed old lady, who looked as if she had
stepped down from the frame of one of
the old family portraits, inquired what
her visitor wished to take for her break
fast The young stranger, considerably
frightened and bewildered by her new
surround ngs, answered shyly:
Tea or coffee, or any thing Madame
la Marquise pleased"
MY dear" was the reply. 'you are
my guest and of course you shall have
any thing you like. but my daughters
take soup, and if you are wise you will
do as they do. Young people should
avoid contracting habits"
Of course the hint was sufficient and
the English girl breakfasted on onion
soup, but it seemed very strange and
was decidedly uncongeniaL When the
church is near the ladies of the family
usually go to early mass, but this is
rather exceptional, as the chateaus are
not usually near the villages No one
is expected to be seen before the dejeuner
Ia t0Urchette, or luncheon, the hour for
which varies between eleven and twelve;
the family then meet in the simplest
dresses imaginable, which are frequently
retained for the dinner, without any
change. Every thing is fresh and neat,
but of the humblest material such as
printed cotton; the meals are, however,
served tremendously on massive old
plate, and the fare is excellent Moth
ing is supposed to be necessary between
the luncheon and dinner, except for
children, who are given preserves and
bread or fruit The young children and
their governesses are present at all
meals, even the late dinner; a very un-
desirable practice, for many reasons
Afternoon tea is unknown out of Paris,
except as rare compliment to an oc-
casional visitor, nor is tea served in the
evening, but excellent coffee is taken
Immediately after dinner. A tray W tn
sugar, or sirup, and water. p aced within
reach, is considered sufficient for all
needs till the next morning. Murray s
