An Oriental Joke.

The Oriental races are not without a
sense of humor, which is often OF a
very grim sort. A European traveller,
who was visiting the court of the Imam
of Muscat not long ago, relates the fol-
lowing;
l had heard that no ruler of Muscat
for the last hundred years had died a
natural death, and was interested when,
in our conversation, the Imam himself
introduced the matter of this extraordi-
nary fatality among the sovereigns of
his country.
'Is it true" ventured to ask, that
no Imam for hundred years has died
in his bed?"
Certainly not" said he, with per-
fectly grave face. Let me see-four
of them have died in bed"
And they were not assassinated,
then?"
"Well," he said, ut is true that they
were found Under the mattress instead
of on top of it, but they unquestionably
died in bed"
They had been smothered by their
heirs apparent. Youths Companion.

NUMBER 43.

Now, the Europeans employ elephants
in their armies, in the east. The British
soldier elephants in India to-day, how
ever, are not fighters They are work.
ers; they bear the baggage, and drag
the heavy cannon.
Notlong ago seventeen raw recruits"
were shipped from Ragoon to Madras.
Most of them were newly-captured ami
mails, purchased for the government of
India up in the country of British Bur-
nah.
One by one these huge animals were
hoisted from the wharf in great sling,
and lowered into the hold of the ship.
The elephants did not like going to sen
in that way at all. They struggled
nightly. They roared. They grabbed
at the rigging with their trunks as they
were slung up in mid-air. And then,
down in the hold they were so furious
that it was more difficult to get them
out of the sling than it had been to get
them in.
If any little Burmese boys knew
what was going on, and if they are like
little American boys, / am sure they
were there somewhere on the wharf
and am surer still that they shouted
in the excitement well-nigh as loud as
the elephants roarcd.-C p. Stuart, in

"SCARLET FEVER HERE"
How Linden Avenue Woman VIII Use
the Sign During the Worlds Fair.

thc hIBu WOrluS
Forethought is n rather common
quality, but Linden avenue woman
has carried it to rather extravagant
extreme. Her little boy had been sick
several days when the doctor was sum
moned, and at once declared the dis
ease to be scarlet fever The little fell
low grew worse rapidly, and persons
on passing looked at the glaring placard
on the front of the house and Stunned
the place with that horror we all feel
in the presence of contagion. Many
of those who had formerly gone by on
the hither side of the street now crossed
over at the corner, even if they had to
cross back again at the next Some of
them went by a block away, and the
good woman who was wearied with the
care of the little sufferer in the house
soon came to notice that travel by her
door was by no means as frequent as it
had been.
In the course of time the little boy
died, and in the midst of the mourning
the neighbors noticed that the woman
carefully took down the Scarlet Fever
Here" sign and put it away on a shelf
in the closet
"Why, what are you saving that for?"
asked one of them, almost inclined to
think the woman's reason had fled with
the breath of her boy.

The black French challis is to have
quite run this summer for afternoon
gowns, with a trimming of black velvet
ribbon, gilt galloon, black lace or vel
vet ribbon the color of the flower.
Others have the yoke, sleeves and skirt
ruffle of colored silk, but all are cool
when lined with satine and form very
dressy toilettes for comparatively
small sum.
The challis having satin stripes are
more expensive than the ordinary
French designs and are made up with
a satin or bengaline vest. A few have
the open ecru lace-like embroidery for
the yoks and skirt border, but these
have light grounds and are the excep.
tions
One of gray covered with pink roses
and green leaves has three tiny over
tapping ruffles of silk on the edge of the
round skirt. The pointed bodice is full
from the shoulders, back and front,
with V of the silk. The collar bows
on the shoulders and cuffs are of green
velvet.
An imported dress of summer surah,
brocaded with turquoise leaves over zig
gag lines of black satin, has skirt of
five lengths finished with gathered
ruffie and sewed to the edge of the
slightly point basque, which is full
from, ba eho,,15oro op1 hoe
of jetted net over turquoise crepe.
Lace edging trims the bottom of the
wrists and forms pointed bertha to
the shoulders, ending under bows of
velvet ribbon.
Elaborate toilettes of crepe have
yokes of satin of the same or a con-
trasting color under heavy guipure
lace. The skirt is round or slightly
draped, and the bodice edges are finish
ed with jeweled or gilt galoon.
For black dress, edge the skirt all
around with lace ruffie having mar
row edge sewed on to make standing
frill. Have high sleeves and a round
basque cut in deep tabs and edged with
lace. The bodice is full from the shoul-
ders and has belt of ribbon with q
bow in front to match the wrist and
shoulder knots.
A lavender crepon made with gath
cred skirt having a ruflle and five
lengths of No. 12 ribbon on the front
sides ending in bows. Have a round

A PRETTY FLOWER-BASKET.
An Odd and Ornamental Object for the
House.

House.
A home made, but not on that ac-
count clumsy jardiniere is made by
using coarse cheap straw hat, and
wiring it on the edge of the brim, so
that its bends can be controlled. The
crown is pushed in a little to make it
stand evenly in its reversed position,
and the wired edges are bent first into
a square, then rounded into receptacles
for four little tumblers, BY ingenious
stitching around and across with carpet
thread, the bends can be held firmly,
and the tumblefs secured in position.
A bowl of the proper size-probably
cheap finger will be best for the
purpose--is then planted in the crown.
A supply of moss is crowded around
and into the open spaces. If dry moss
is used it can be stained green with
family dye. Long handles made OF
clothes-line can be sewed to the sides,
and crossed over the top, and fastened
with bow of wide satin ribbon. This
receptacle can be used for cut flowers
in water, or the glasses and bowl can
be filled with earth, and hardy green
things planted in them. 1t is good
idea when flowers are not abundant to
have tradescantia--the tough little
plant known as NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
ing in the bowl In earth, and small
sprays of the same in water in the
tumblers; it will keep all the season in
the glasses by renewing the water once
a week, and upon great occasions few
flowers can share the tumblers with the
living green. By this plan the smallest
bouquet is made to cover good deal of
ground.
An appropriate support tor this jar
diniere is a circular tin tray projecting
few inches beyond it, the edge being
filled with moss. Something of the
kind may be necessary if growing
plants are used, as dampness would
strike through the straw of the hat
Trays of tin or some other white metal
that are highly polished and stamped
with flowers are sold for ten cents each
at many hardware stores. They are
hardly elegant enough to put in an ap-
pearance among table appointments,
but concealed by the moss, they serve
very good purpose, -Harper's Bazaar.
