"But what interested me more than
this young imperial highness was the
great assemblage of native princes,
raiahs, maharajahs, ETC., with their
magnificent and gorgeous attire. 1
don't think ever saw so many jewels
in all my life. These old and young
princes had evidently decked them
selves out for the occasion. One
young maharajah had necklace Of
diamonds on completely surrounding
his neck, six strands deep. no one of
them smaller than large pea, and
running up in size to large hazelnut.
Beside such masses of diamonds there
were pearls in strings (more beautiful
than diamonds), rubies, sapphiros
emeralds. opals (most beautifully, and
every glorious stone the earth yields.

Make Home Happy.

Don't shut up your house lest the sun
should fade your carpets, nor your
hearts lest merry laugh should shake
down some OF the musty old cobwebs
there. II you want to ruin your sons
let them think that all mirth and social
enjoyment must be left on the thres-
hold without when they come home at
night.
When once home is regarded as
only place to eat, drink and sleep in,
the work is begun that ends in disap-
pointment Young people must have
fun and relaxation somewhere. II
they don't find it at their own hearth
stone it will be sought at other and
less profitable places.
Therefore let the fire burn brightly
at night, and make the homestead de-
lightful with all those little arts that
parents so perfectly understand.
Don't repress the buoyant spirit OF
your children. Half an hour OF mer-
riment around the freight OF homo
blots out many care and annoyance
during the day, and the best safeguard
they can take with them into the world
is the unseen influence of bright lit
tie domestic circle.

\ STRANGE sroRv.
Poor working Girl Who became rav-
orite sultana.

n
orite sultana.
Much surprise has just been caused
in Brussels by the news that the favor
tie wife OF the Sultan Is not only Bel
gian by birth but that some fifteen
years ago she was poor girl working
for her living in the coal mines near
Mons. Her name was Flora Collin,
and was then and Is still a remarkably
beautiful woman. Her health having
been seriously impaired by the terrible
atmosphere Of the coal mine, some
charitable person sent her to Paris and
placed her as apprentice in the great
dressmaking establishment OF Nine.
M. where, clever and intelligent
the girl soon became one OF Madame's
most valued employers.
Among the numerous patrons OF the
renowned couturierc was the mother oil
the present Sultan, lady OF much re-
finement for u harem born and bred
woman. and who sent to Paris for all
her toilets. Flora Collin was sent to
Constantinople with some marvellous
dresses which the lady in question had
ordered and which she wished to have
altered. If desired, by Partisan artistic
before her eyes. From that time TO
now Flora Collin was not heard OF
again. In short letter which she
wrote to her employer few weeks
nfter her arrival in Constantinople she
merely stated that, having found some
profitable employment in the capital OF
Turkey, she had decided to. spend her
time there. Then complete silence fol-
lowed.
"A few months ago an uncle OF
Flora Collin died in Brussels, where
he had amassed considerable fortune
in business during the next few years.
When his will was opened it was found
that he had left all his money to his
"beloved niece Flora Collin" request
ing his executors to find her, and men,
tioning the fact that he believed her
to be in Constantinople. Notices wero
put in the papers OF that city inquir-
ing whether lady bearing the name
above mentioned was existing in the
Sultan's dominions, and if such was
the case, requesting her to present
herself at the Belgian Embassy for
Identification. Twenty-four hours latec
q gorgeous equipage, escorted by
mounted eunuchs, stopped at the port
ais of the Embassy and yelled lady
sent word to the Ambassador that she
wished to see him at once on a matter
of importance. Brought to his pres
ence, she stated that she was Flora
Collin and had been married for the
past thirteen years to the present
Sultan, Abdul having fallen in
love at first sight with the beautiful
modiste who had come to fit on his
mothers dresses, married her almost
Immediately, and ever since she has
been his only legal wife. 1t may be of
interest to add that the Sultana re-
nounced her uncle's inheritacce in
favor of her family in Belgium an act
of generosity which has made the poor
people happy for life.

PAIRING tho Hair In the mlddlc

There are literally dozens OF men in
Washington. who part their hair in the
middle. The old-time opposition to
this form Of arranging the hair has
entirely disappeared. There was a
time, and not very long ago either,
when q man who had a straight line
down the middle of his head where the
hair was divided was looked upon more
or less as Miss Nancy, and he could
not hope for any sort of political pre-
ferment. To say Of politician run
ming for local Office that he parted
his hair in the middle was to prophesy
inevitable disaster, With most people
there was but one way to part the hair,
and that was we'll down over the left
ear. Nobody knows exactly when the
reform started in, but nowadays, mans
method OF dressing his hair has abso-
lutely nothing to do with the case.
Whether he wears an artistic bang,

Now cut this strip diagonally, as true
as you can. the result being two pieces
in shape of triangles. Now measure
exactly five inches from the larger end
of each strip, and cut each in two
pieces. Take your four pieces and put
them in the shape OF an exact square,
and it will appear to be just 8 inches

THE FARM AND HOME.
HOW TO BEST IMPROVE THE
COUNTRY ROADS.
Il IL the shcerest Folly TO Expend Labor
and Money on So Called .Improye-
ments" which Last hut u
Day-The Household.
ImproyInx One Road,.


That most excellent OF farmers
journals. the Country Gentleman, In
an able and interesting discussion OF q
subject now commanding n great dea
OF attention In progressive rural com.
munities says:
The subject OF the improvement OF
the public roads has recently engaged
an unusual share OF general interest,
and many plans are proposed for Of
fecting thorough reformation in their
construction and management. Some
OF these plans include the raising OF a
tax In each township OF 5000 or
more, but there Is a great diversity OF
opinion how this money, when OBJ
tanned, shall be expended. Some per-
sons would make II county tax;
others general state interest, with
town, county or state officers appoint
cd TO expend 1t.
The present condition OF our public
thoroughsares Is imposing tax on the
whole farming community in the shape
Of wasted time broken wagons, rup-
tured harness, and difficulty in reach
ing markets, much greater than an
intelligent use OF the means mt our
command would require for the re-
moval OF most OF these evils
The great leading defects in the
present mode Of making and repair
ing' the country roads, is the misap-
plication OF labor Sods and muck are
often heaped from each side OF the
track, forming broad ridge or turn
pike" on which vehicles are expected
to travel. When long rains occur.
this ridge is converted into bed OF
mud, and the higher tho ridge has
been made the more copious the mud
and the deeper the ruts are cut by the
passing wheels. The roads are thus
made worse by the work expended on
them. 1t is "a common saying that cer-
tain roadways are to be avoided be-
cause they have been recently mend
cd" #.,-..
, The writer has had an opportunity
OF witnessing in successive years, the
mode OF applying highway labor, as
sessed according to the number of days.
A two-horse team counted one day;
the pillow or wagon drawn by 1t an
other day; the boy who held the pillow
a third day; and another boy the fourth
day. The tax was easily worked out
in this way, especially as the teams
and laborers did not always reach the
place for working before nine o'clock
in the morning, and labored lcisurely
during the rest of the day.
' A fine illustration occurred where
half mile OF stage road passed over n
piece of fiat land. consisting OF nearly
a foot OF rich soil or musk on hard
and solid subsoil. The musk being
easily moved was scraped into 'turn-
pike, thus laying bare the hard sub
soil which formed the ditch ut the side.
When wet weather came, the muck
turnpike was nearly or quite impassa-
BILE. and all the vehicles chose to drive
into the ditch with its hard and smooth
bottom, showing good material II
only properly used.
