a Railway Adventure.

Alady who has been travelling abroad relates
an adventure which befell her in Italy in rail
way train, an adventure that is not without its
amusing side, says the Youths Companion.
Her husband put her into a compartment
alone, and went to attend to the luggage After
he had gone Misunderstanding fellow got in
and presently the train started Off the husband
not appearing. The lady was naturally a good
deal disturbed aud the way ia which the
stranger looked at her did not tend to diminish
her agitation.
Suddenly, still with his eyes fixed upon her.
the man took from his pocket large clasp
knife and opened it. Then he rose, and DELHI
erately cut from the window blinds their cords.
and began to knot them together The lady
was terrified almost to death. She expected to
be strangled on the spot, ard began appealing
to the stranger to spare her. He only laughed
brutally, answering her in Italian, Of which she
did not understand a word.
Then he pulled off his coat and waistcoat and
just as the terrified woman was almost prepared
60 fling herself out of the compartment OF the
swiftlY-moving train, he knotted the cords SO as
to piece out a broken suspender put on his coat
and waistcoat and sat quietly down in q corner,
where he went quickly to sleep.

wrong compartment just as the train was start
ing, and who joined his wife at the next station,
found her on the verge of Mysteries from the
affects Of the fright she had undergone.

A Ball at the Chinese Legation.


The Chinese legation was the scene of bril-
liant ball, says the Washington correspondent
OF the New York Tribune, given by Min
lister and Nine. Tsui. There was great inter
est and much pardonable curiosity in regard to
the ball, as 1t was the first large party given by
the present minister and the first appearance Of
ms wife as hostess on any occasion. Nine.
Tsui has never but once appeared in public, and
that was two years ako, when she was one of
the box party at the theater. given by one Of
secretaries of the legation. Her first ball
marked her emancipation from the exclusive
customs OF centuries. If not a hostess ito the
proved herself quite equal to
the occasion by three hours or more Of
smiling, bowling and hand shaking Minister
Tsui received with his wife, and they were as
sisted by Mrs, Wang, wife of the second secre-
tary of legation; Mrs. Ye, wife of the Corean
charge d'atfaires; Nine Romero. wife of
the Mexican minister, and Mrs. John W. Foster
The Oriental ladies were in native dress and
their bright, lowered brocades, fashioned in
flowing skirts and tunics, made them pictur-
esque figures.
Nine. Tsul wore skirts of dark red and tunic
of maroon brocade, all richly embroidered in
colors. Her shining black hair was dressed
with bands Of jewels and jeweled combs. Mrs.
Wangs toilet was equally rich and pictur-
eSQue. Mrs. Ne wore skirts Of pink brOcade and
blue waist. All the young secretaries, in
gorgeous brocades, stood in an opposite line and
assisted in the hand shaking Their smiling
faces showed how much they were enjoying
their part of the festivity. The legation resi-
dence was beautifully decorated with tropical
foliage and blooming plants. All about the
drawing rooms were palms, azaleas and orchids
In the ball room the band played behind floral
screen. Here, as in the drawing rooms orchids
were in protusion. An immense center-piece Of
roses and orchids graced the supper table, and
smaller pieces were at the ends of the board
The invitations were limited to 800, or intended
to be. But the 800 became 200 more before
people ceased TO ask for them
