ENGLAND NAMES THE SULTAN.

British Power Enforced in Zanzibar-The
Heir to the Throne II Premier
ZANZIBAR, March G.-Alibin Said
sultan OF Zanzibar is dead He was a
brother OF the former sultans, Khalifa
and Burghash, and succeeded to the
sultanate on the death of the former in
February, 1890. He was born in 1855.
No sooner was it known that the sultan
was dead than his son, Kalid, gained
adm ittance to the palace by back en-
trance, evidently with the intention of
claiming the throne in defiance of
British authority.
kalid caused the portals of the palace
to be barred and made preparations to
defend himself in tho structure, which,
besides being the most magnificent resi-
dence in Zanzibar, is also very strongly
built for defence. General Matthews.
acting in the absence of Sir G.. A. Por-
tai, now on his way to Uganda as British
commissioner to examine the situation
in that country, took prompt and
vigorous course. Proceeding to the
palace with strong force of troops, he
demanded that the gates be opened. or
otherwise the palace be carried by storm,
If necessary.
Kalid was dismayed BY the resclute
attitude Of tho British. who were sup.
ported by tho native autho critics gen.
orally, and he saw no prospect OF sue
cess if he should challenge conflict.
Many OF the natives sympathized with
kalid on account of the British opposi-
ton to the slave trade and for other
reasons. but they did not dare to como
out openly in Difference of the British.
halid and those who mad acted with
him concluded to yield, and the doors of
the palace wore thrown open and the
troops admitted. Kalid was removed
under guard of soldiers, and Hamid,
who has been designated heir to tho
throne, and recognized as sucn by the
British. was proclaimed by the British
authorities as sultan, and was at once
installed in authority under British
protectorate.

A CLERGYMAN's OPINION.

The Rev. II. Il. Allison, at present at
tending the theological department of
Richmond College, in stating his opin-
ion of the Curtis treatmen: for catarrh,
says: 1t was after much hesitation and
very careful consideration that al
lowed the public use of my name to in
dorso the Curtis treatment for catarrh,
but the great benefits which have de-
rived myself from the treatment, and q
sense of duty to the public, SO many of
whom are suffering from catarrh, lead
mo to give this public statement.
After thus stating his position the
reverend gentlemen described his symp.
toms, which were those common to most
cases OF catarrh, and said that he had
been treated before by specialist but re-
ccived littlo benefit, but that the result
of the Curtis treatment in his case had
been very beneficial indeed, and that
he was especially gratitled in being re-
loved of the constant desire to hawk
up mucous and also that no no Longer
suffered from the severe neuralgia
attacks which previous to the treatment
had been his evil panion for many
years.
In this connection we wish to call
your attention to the fact that catarrh
is common cause Of neuralgia and also
of weakness. Are you aware that it
weakens and often destroys the hearing?
Do you know that most cases of dyspep.

MUTllATED N
How Torn or Burned Bank Notes Are
Treated in the National Treasury,

BY means of a piece of glass the size
of a bank note, marked into twenty
four squares, the face of the bill is de-
termined. If sixteen of these squares
can be covered by the mutilated bill
the whole value is paid; if less than
sixteen and more than twelve, halfthe
value; if less than twelve it is rejected
entirely. Twenty-Five dollars found
in the nest of a mouse were recently
sent to the treasury in a condition that
detied recognition by the naked eye.
Mrs. Brown went to work with a mi.
croscope and patiently sorted ont the
whole amount, One hundred and eighty
dollars, which went through the Van.
derbilt fire at Newport. came to Mrs.
Brown as a charred mass of paper,
which she, however, identified.
When an express car is burned the
safe is sent, unopened, to the treasury
department. There it is opened by
women experts, who empty the con.
tents, often only u mass of ashes,
and sift them through a sieve.
The charrcd bits of money are
then picked out and submit,
ted to a microscopic examination.
Not long ago twenty-five tiny dia.
monds were recovered by Sitting the
ashes a third time before burning
them. The vaults are often filled with
the stencil of money recovered from
dead bodies in pestilcnt districts, a.
during the prevalence of yellow fever
in the south, Such money is fumigatet
and no diseases have even been com
municated to employees.
Gold and silver are also counted b,
women, and women manipulate tn,
machine which has taken the place o
shears for trimming notes. The ma
chine which stamps the bank notes il

In the treasurer's Office is the last o

states the reducing of every variety o

thirty years Miss Stoner has occupic,

a time has she heard '.hcelcrs' ouste,

FORTUNES IN A TEACUP.
Your Fate Foretold by the Clustering OF
Scattered Leaves.

II anybody happens to have two
spoons in their cup it is a sign that
they will figure prominently at a we'd
ding before the year is out,
II cream or milk is put in your cup
before the sugar it will cross our love
A tea stalk floating on top OF the tea
is called n stranger, When this hap
pens to unmarried women they should
stir the tea b~risllly and then place the
spoon in the center of the cup, holding
il quite stlll.
If the stranger in its gyrations is at
tracted to the spoon he will come that
evening: should it, however, cling to
the sides he will not come at all.
We may observe that it really de.
ponds on the stage of the atmosphere
as to whether the stalk goes to the mid
die or not.
This cluster of bubbles is also called
a kiss and portends that the owner
will be thus saluted during the course
of the day.
A cluster of tea leaves with a few
| stragglers at the front at the bottom
of the cup signifies a hearse or IA funer-
al, while the couple of leaves at the
bottom, if close together, signify a
wedding.
If the tea grounds take the form Of a
woman on the side of the cup it signi-
ties a rival in love; if it looks like a
bird, it means news from a distant
friend; if it looks like a book it refers
to a well-known acquaintance who is
at college; if it looks like a tree, it
means DOR taking a journey into the
country; if two stalks come together,
it means you are to meet a man; if it
looks like a snake, it is an enemy.
If it is a dog, you will meet or hear
from a friend; if it looks like a house
or a shed, it means that when married
YOU will keep house for yourself and
not board; if il looks like a spirc, it
means you will be married in church,;
il it looks like a duck or a swan, it
means that YOU will cross the ocean;
if it looks like a bridge it is IN unques-
toned sign that your marriage will be
happy and your life long and strong.
If it looks like a man fishing with a
rod, it points to a preacher who may
either officiate at your marriage or be-
come your husband; il it looks like a
mar with many spots lying before him,
it means that your husband will be
rich, and may be a banker; if a broken
bridge turns up on the side of the cup
it means that your marriage will be
unhappy.
If there is u%ndulations on the side of
the cup, some faint and some heavier,
it means a checkered life or a career of
struggle, sometimes light and some
times severe, st. Louis Globe-Demo.

THE IDEAL PARlOR.
A Few of the Things Which 1t Is Not Ar,
Here Summarized.

Here Enumerated.
Some drawing-rooms seem to have
been arranged for the special purpose
of making conversation in them an alb
solute impossibility. The chairs are
primly arranged, the tables have a set
look, the very cushions on the lounges
sit bolt upright. The woman who
ventures upon remark on any subject
but the weather in such a room feels
that she has committed an improperly.
Tete-a-tetes are impossible. Groups
are impossible. Whatever is said must
be shouted aloud to the whole as.
sembly.
There are other rooms where moth.
ing but rickety tables, spindle-lcgged
chairs, palms, and curtaincd recesses
are to be found. The unfortunate guest
is bound to knock over u table or fall
against a cabinet, or overthrow a tall
lampin herprogress from the door to the
hostess corner. Such a room has at.
fractions only for the young person
with a fondness for solitude a dcux''
Dehlnd pOrtieres or n OF ferns, and
she is not an important enough being
to have her tastes so considered.
In the ideal drawing-room the chairs
are near enough together to allow OF
confidential chatting, and far enough
apart to make more than one group a
possibility. The tables unite grace and
strength, and will not topple over at
the swish of a skirt. The light is no,
SO dim as to make the newcomer feel
that she is walking by faith and not by
sight, nor yet so bright as to bring out
every wrinkle on her face. There Il
plenty Of o for movement. and vel
no of baroness. But such a draw.
ing-room is a are apartment -Chica,
