Betsy Patterson Bonaparte.

Nine. Betsy Patterson Bonaparte, the
sister-in-law of an emperor, was born in
Baltimore, and after living many years
abroad returned TO her native land,
where she passed the last years of her
life.
One of the old lady's crack stories in
her latter days was of lesson in eti-
quette given her by the black butler of
her host. At breakfast she motioned
to him and handed him her cup, wish
ing second cup of tea. Uncle Bob,
instead of taking the cup to his mistress
at the head of tho table, put it down
with great flourish on the sideboard.
But I wanted another cup of tea"
said Nine. Bonaparte.
Ibid you, mum?" blandly asked Un-
Gle Bob. "You see, mum, you put your
spoon in de saucer, an that means you
doan' want no mo- tea. When you
wants some mo- tea, de erect way is
to put de spoon in de cup--like dis
heah," and Uncle Bob gravely illustrat-
ed the "c'rect" method of procedure.
The family were on thorns, expecting
an outbreak from the sister-in-law of
an emperor, although there is no doubt
that a black butler in his own baili-
wick could face an emperor himself,
but Betsy was only amused and laughed
heartily.
After so years of money getting and
money saving, she realized in the lat
ter part of her life how futile IL sll was
and explained grimly, "Once had
everything but money! Now | have
nothing but money. boston Tran

Ivory Carving In China and Japan.

In China and Japan ivory has been
carved, the ivory balls inclosed inside
one another being specially noted.
Many theories have been formed as to
how these balls have been cut. Perhaps
a probable one is that ball of ivory
was taken, around the upper and lower
ends of which four small holes We're
carved ont, gradually diminishing in
size toward the center until the axis of
the one hole met the axis of the other
or lower one at right angles in the cen
ter of the ball, and that then small
tools were inserted, and thin layer of
ivory, forming part of circle from
one hole to its lower corresponding one,
was cut and loosened from the whole
mass. Sc, gradually cutting from one
hole to the next one, Il complete inner
circle was eventually loosencd, the cir
cles themselves afterward being cut into
the required pattern. Chambers Jour

The ways and means of insurance

to be to get the victim interested and
then lombard him with argument, elo-

Advice From King.

Kaharega, the negro king of Unyoro,
In Central Africa, is man who rules his
subjects with rod of iron. Like all ty-
rants, he regulates their smallest actions,
and host Of spies inform him of any
disobedience to his commands.
Among other things, he has made a
fixed tariff of prices for everything
bought or sold in his country, and every
deviation from it is severely punished
An instance of this is given by Vita Has
san in his book about Emin Pasha and
the Equatorial Province.
About month after Hassan's arrival
in Unyoro he bought fowl and paid 30
cowries for it, while the market price
was only %. In that part of Africa it
takes about 250 cowries to make ST..
Soon afterward dragoman of the king
appeared and brought back cowries,
with the message:
"a fowl costs only % cowries, while
you have given &c. The seller has done
wrong, and the king will punish him,
but he sends to you the advice to be care
full henoeforth in your purchases-never
to give for anything more than it is
worth, first of all in your own interest,
and next to this in order not to disturb
the market. Youths Companion.

Where Tyndaii Wanted to Rest.

"Whatever the late Professor Tyn-
dalrs final wishes may have been, IL was
not" writes correspondent, "his desire
at one time of his life that his remains
should rest in the little graveyard at
Haslemere. l remember some 10 years
ago sitting next him at dinner party at
the late Earl of Dalhousie's and his ex-
patiating with much zest and eloquence
on his horror of being inferred in damp
spot. His final resting place, the pro-
fessor declared, was already prepared for
him near his favorite Alpine retreat-a
shelf cut in the hard rock, high up in the
pure, dry mountain air, where the nat
ural process of disintegration might be
accomplished with as few of the painful
adjuncts of decay as might be. He
laughingly volunteered to provide con-
tiguous rocky shelves for any like mind
ed friends.
II may perhaps be allowed to add that
through all the intervening years have
retained n most vivid impression of the
enthusiasm with which Professor Tyn-
dali dwelt on the wilder beauties of ma
ture. He assured me that he lived on
Hindhead not for the sake of the exqui-
site summer days, but for the wild even
ings of spring and autumn, when storms
and mists and rainclouds sweep across
the open hillside. His artistic enjoy
ment of such scene seemed to me quite
as keen as his scientific appreciation. -

whom he encountered on Il railroad
train, which illustrates how easily
man may be tripped on a simple little
catch problem. The drummer entered
into conversation with the minis
ters and entertained them amazingly
with his brilliant conversation, touch
ing men and affairs. Gradually the top
les changed, until at last the talk was
of DR.. 'Talmage and his visit to the
Holy Land.
Speaking of the Holy Land" said
the graceless commercial man, II was
quite interested to read I'm New York
paper recently that party Of explorers
in Palestine had discovered huge heap
of bones, which, from their size and
quantity, are supposed to be of the chill
dren which Herod ordered killed. They
were found In cave, which had been
closed for centuries, which accounts for
their preservation.
"Indeedr' replied one of the clergy
men, much interested. II had not
heard of it. 1t is certainly a surpris-
ing discovery.
Eyes, continued the drummer,
land, oddly enough, while nearly half
of the bones were bleached white, the
rest were as black as ebony"
Remarkable, calculated the cler-
gyman who had already spoken. while
the other looked at the drummer sus-
piciously.
"What is your theory?" he contin-
ued do you think it possible that
the bleached bones could be of males
and the black of females9"
Possibly" replied the more CON-
municative clergyman, II am not an
anatomist, however and can't say what
effects long exposure has on the bone
of the sexes"
And you" persisted the drummer
to the other. ''What is your opinion?
Do you think it possible that the white
bones belong to male infants and the
black to female, or vice versa? That is
the problem that now excites the dis
coverers."
Really" replied the other, II don't
know (; but, possibly, as you first put it,
the white bones may be of the male
children, and the black of the female.
Shortly after this the clergymen
reached their destination and left the
train. just as il was about moving OIL
the drummer, who had been chuckling
to himself the meanwhile, thrust into
the hand of one card, upon which was
written the words:
Excuse me IL | suggest that you
read your Bibles hereafter with greater
care. Had you done SO in the past, you

Race of Giant CannibaIs.

Unlikely as it may seem to some who
read these lines, it is fact neverthe-
less that there is an island in the gulf
of California, not more than go miles
from the Mexican mainland, which is
inhabited by the remnants of race of
giant cannibals. This startling discov-
cry was made by west coast natural
list early in 1891 and has since been
confirmed by both United States and
Mexican explorers. Mr.. Mcnamara,
the scientist referred to, has a photo
graph of one of the men found by him
ON the island, that individual, although
not one of the largest, being over feet
in height. The island upon which they
were found is known as the island or
isle of Leri, and the original discoverer
says that there is every evidence of can
nibalism among them. Louis Re-

An Interesting Prcdicament.

A man who lives in fiat near Central
park recently had peculiar experience.
A couple Of deaf mutes rented an apart
ment underneath his own and were
blessed in due season by the arrival of a
bouncing baby with an excellent pair Of
lungs. At night the little one woke up
nearly the entire house by its cries, but
through all of it the parents slept until
the tenant above, at the solicitation Of
his wife, went down stairs and fairly
forced an entrance. The deaf and dumb
couple resort to many ingenious devices
to overcome the disadvantages under
which they labor. They are unable to
hear their doorbell, SO they have ar
ranged piece Of colored paper upon
the gong in such q way that the paper
hutters when the bell rings. By keep
ing watchful eye on the bell they are
able to receive their visitors promptly,
but their inventive genius has not as yet
devised scheme to indicate the baby's
