THE STLTANS OF ZANZIBAR.

4 woman whose home for several
wears was in Zanzibar, where, as wife
of United States consul, she enjoyed
special privileges, told at luncheon
the other day of her visit to the chief
sultana of the late sUltan's household.
His family included ii0 sultanas, with
one, a full -blooded Arab, leading all
the others and invested with special
privileges To her the consul's wife
was permitted to pay visit, being the
second white woman IN many years,
if not in all time, to do so.
Il really felt" said the woman re
lating the incident, "a little nervous
abont penetrating this closely guard
ed place, even on invitation, and beg
ged the sultan. who was always on
friendly terms with my husband, to
permit the wife of the German con
sui to be my companion. This request
was graciously granted and IN full
evening dress and decked with all The
Jewels we owned, we paid the visit. |
wore beautiful but most savage
necklace, which the sultan had sent
me not long before necklet of fine
gold, from which depended to my
waist a fringe of fine gold chains,
sloped to fit over the shoulders, price
less, but, as | have said. barbara to a
degree.
.'When We reached the palace our
husbands had, of course. to leave US
and alone we entered, except for the
four servants who preceded Us and a
second four who followed. At every
few steps a servant OF the palace step
ped out and poured a drop or two of
after Of roses on our hankerchiefs:
before we got into the presence mine
was saturated with the heavy perfume
and was almost overwhelmed with
its, to me, sickening fragrance.
The sultana was seated in the middle
of an innumerable row of children,
which fanked her on each side. These
were not hers, but the sultan's by
other wives, she being childless. As
he is very proud of his children they
were thus displayed and it spoke well
for the good disposition of the chief
fayorite that she was willing to show
these jewels Of her rivals. She sat IN
a large rather bare room, with many
windows on every side. In every
window there was at least one head,
in some more, which belonged to the
other sultanas. who thus assisted at
the interview. This array Of repul
siye, savage countenances, though IN
tended to be friendly, made me doub-
~ glad that | had not gone in alone.
The sultana received Us as gracl
ously as her code of politeness per
mitted, but it was easy to see that
greedy curiosity was the only feeling
which animated the poor creature.
This related chiefly to our clothes,
upon which she was woman enough
to pounce at once I really thought
[ should not get out with all of mine
on, so aggressive was her desire to
study every garment Our appear
ance pleased her, sowe We're informed
through the interpreter, and that was
about all there was to the interview,
except that the eager interest the
chief sultana was able to appease by
handling and examing shone without
such amelioration from the ardent
faces at the window. These leaned
forward, fairly hungry to get closer to
this pair of curious white sultanas."

How a Sweet Girl on a broadway Car
Caught Sucker.

She boarded a Broadway car at the

typewriter The car was crowded
and every man sitting down had his
eyes glued to n newspaper. As the
car started the Girl bumped against a
man who was also hanging to a strap
and her voice reached Cverybody's ear
as she said:
Now. do please excuse NE, won't
you? The car is 50 crowded. you

The young man sitting Just opposite
her looked up and began to climb out
OF his seat.
"Oh! No. No. Nor she said, as she
waved her hand at him in the cutest
sort of fashion. Please don't think Of
it. | have been sitting aIl day and it
is really refreshing to stand"
The man on his right hal determined
not to give up his seat to his own
mother, but that arch smile and de-
licious voice caused him to lift him.

The next man found bis heart beat
ing faster than usual, and he began
folding his paper and shuliling his
feet.
How kind of you. but l can't per-
nit it." softly exclaimed the sweet
girl, as she motioncd him TO keep his
place.
The fourth man was short and fat,
with an iron jaw and A beliigerent
nose. He hadn't offered his seat to a
lady since July 6, 1872, but in this
case it was handsome girl who had
refused three other offers and there
would be no risk. lie rose up, lifted
his hat and offered the seat.

slid into it and opened novel and be-

The man turned red rs he looked
around the car and saw rybody
smiling, and no one blamed him when
he made for the rear door. He thought
he was going to get away all right,
but biz man hanging to strap sud

chuckle and said:

A VENOMOUS BIRD.

But one species of venomous bird
is known to the student of ornitholo-
gical oddities-the Rpir N'Dood, or
Bird of Death' a feathered para
dox of New Guinea. 1t is not large
or formidable-looking creature, as
one would naturally expect, being
scarcely as large as a common
pigeon, but longer and of more slen
der build. 1t is of a gray, glossy
color without any special markings,
except the tail, which ends with a
blood-red tip. The bird is compar-
atively helpless, being able to fly but
a few feet, and can be caught with
out difficulty; however, it is unneces-
sary to say that its poisonous bite
causes the native Papuans to let it
severely alone. Persons bitten by
the creature are seized by maddening
pains, which rapidly extend to every
part of the body. Loss of sight, con-
vulsions and lock-jaw are some of
the other symptoms which follow in
rapid succession. The natives say
that there is not case on record of
survival of the bite, there being no
antidote, death always ensuing with
IN the short space of two hours.

THE VALUE OF SALT.

Sodium chloride, or common salt,
is a necessity of animal life. Wild
| animals of the herbivorous class make
regular excursions of many miles to
salt licks," or other places where 1t
abounds.
The human body contains salt in
large proportion The blood tastes of
it. and in greater or less quantities 1t
is found in all the many fluids and
Juices manufactured by the various
glands of the body.
That its presence IS not accidental
is shown by the study of some OF the
essential factors of the organism when
deprived of it. Recent experiments
have proved that the white corpuscles
of the blood swell and burst quick
ly in distilled water Protaplasm Is
inactive. and the ella, or fringe-like
edges of certain cells, stop their mo
ton when deprived of sodium chlor-
ide, while in a salt solution they re
main active and intact.
1t is stated that by the passage Of
salt through the body the absorption
of food Is stimulated and the activity
of tissue changes and growth Is in
| creased.
1t is a matter of common observa
ton that the swallowing Of salt pro
duces thirst, which is but saying that
certain organs are stimulated to activ-
lty thereby, and consequently demand
| more fluid in order to continue their
normal activity.
Many children doubtless suffer from
an insufficient supply of common salt,
especially when artificial foods are
used. Such children are often weak
and poorly nourished. Their diges-
ton proceeds slowly, absorption of di-
gested products is delayed, and they
become emaciated. The doctor is
| called. and with the order to add "a
pinch of salt to the milk or other pre-
pared food, the appetite improves, the
| digestion IS stimulated and a proper
condition of nourishment returns.
1t is more than probable that the
chlorine element of the hydrochloric
acid of the gastric juice is supplied by
this salt In this fact persons who
live largely on a vegetable diet may
find a reason for weak digestion and
insufficient acidity, for the mineral
matter found in vegetables consists
for the most part of potash salts, which
do not satisfy the demands of animal
organism.
The water of mineral springs is
chiefly ef1icacious in that it supplies
both salt and water to the blood in in
creased quantity. The salt tends tc
increase tissue changes, and the great
er supply of water hastens the excre-
ton of the waste products which are
thereby generated.
