The Queens Annual Bath.
@. H. BIGes.

Unce a year the queen of Madagascar
bathes in public in the presence of
as many of her subjects as can crowd
into the palace courtyard. In former
years she was wont to descend the
marble steps innocent of raiment, but
since the advent of whites she wears a
loose robe and disappears behind a
screen. Here the additions are per.
formed amid much splashing. The
screen was introduced to satisfy the
missionaries. When the queen emerges
from behind the screen her complexion
is at least three shades lighter than
before. Then all the loyal subjects
shout, and, taking it for granted that
the queen has bathed, they disperse to
their homes and do likewise. After
the annual bath they all feel uncom-
Portable, but few days suffice to
make them feel and look natural
again, and all goes we'll :.

WlsHsarov. April 8-As soon AZ the
brief and fruiiless session OF the house
ended to-day the plans Of the COMMITTEES ON
rules were changed so as 70 have a meeting
and begin the formulation Of quorum
counting rule. IL had been the intention
not to take up the subject until next week.
but the enforced recess this evening gave
plenty Of time TO 90 over the many plans
submitted. Mr. OuthwAite. OF the com
mittee said the FIRST step would be TO eI-
anime those various plans, with q view 10
extracting the BEST possible method. There
was evidence Of a reaction on tha demo-
cratic eide to-day. An undercurrent Of
hostility 70 quoTuni-counting existed. The
fortT-four who voted against the proposed
rule are a nuoeous of this feeling. and With
other members who are arriving it

the democratic membership is opposed

mBsteT Of the situation when the rule comes
before the house. Gs the democratic oppo-
nenta 20 the rule. and the minority, under
Mr.. Reed. would together form an obisc-
tion strong enough to defeat the rule
This has made 10 clear 20 the friends Of the
rule that they must shape il TO secure
republican endorsement, as without such
endorsement the caucus action could never
be carried into effect. There Is every evil
dencs that the elements will come together,
however as the democrats are how 80 fully
committed TO counting quorum that they
do not feel disposed to disgnise their action
BY an important rule while on the other
hand the republicans are ready 10 accept
Il -
rum counting, without quibbling over de-
tails.
Mr.. Reed was the attraction as be en-
