New Orleans Picayune.
An English army officer of experience is
always interesting if he can be induced to
speak of himself. He is generally modest
and seldom the hero of his story. He
does not believe that those who do valiant
service for her Majesty should themselves
apprise others of the deeds of daring or of
adventure through which they have passed.
All the officers in the English army who at
tain the age of thirty-five or forty years
change their places of habitation so often
and move many times from one country
to another that they experience more or
less Of the rough side of a soldiers life.
A reporter for the Picayune drew from an
officer who not long ago severed his connec-
ton with the British army a lieutenant
a thrilling story of adventure in the Red
sea. He was found ensconced in a COM
Portable room in the St. Charles Hotel and
was sitting by a blazing fire putting a
fragrant cigar.
"Ah, a representative of the Picayune;
WELL l am glad to see you; sit down; have
a cigar-and will it be straight, punch,
or ale?" The emanation was in genuine
hospitality, and the newspaper man was
put ut once at his ease. The gentleman
was frank, tall, straight and pleasant. His
arrayed in uniform, with epaulets and
sash and sword. "All this paraphernala,"
said he, means that 1 am going to the
Atlanteans' ball" Ut was the night of the
brilliant affair."
You have been in the service, Captain,
how long?"
"Since | was twelve years DID," said he.
II enlisted more than twenty-five years ago,
and saw service without cessation up TO a
short time ago"
won't you tell me something of your ex-
periences-some daring adventure, capture
or hair breadth escape"
There's nothing extraordinary in my ca
reer, but, of course, you know, every off,
Ger will tell you that, and what is more
they seldom mention a praiseworthy action
in which they have been personally en-
gagged. But I'll tell you of an adventure
in the Red Sea The occurrence happened
five years ago, but 1t is still fresh in my
memory. AS 1 had occasion to regret 1t,
the experience will never be effaced from
my mind
The Captains face became saddened; he
was silent for a few seconds, but, looking
up suddenly, as one starting from a rev.
erie, he began the story.

to be realized until far in the future this
may furnish a strong reason why it should
not be passed so much in advance. but
the postpOnement of it's actual operation

We have now outstanding more than three

AN ARTIsTIc covERLEr.


Presented to the Baby Son Of the Duke
and Duchess OF YorE-
The birth Of the new English royal
prince seems to have revived the stories
OF a previous marriage of his father to
such an extent that the prince Of Wales
has deemed it necessary to publish,
through his secretary. Sir Francis
Knollys, an official denial Of the runaor
The London Times has also revived
the story Of the marriage Of George "
and Mrs. Fitzhcrbcrt and the probabil
ity Of there having been children Of
that marriage whose dascepda
ought now to be on the English throne
This is all nonsense. Both these mar
riages may or may not have been con
traeted, but both would have been IL
legal and consequently void from the
beginning.
In 17T2, when the prince Of Wales,
afterward George ", was only ten
years old, the royal marriage act was
passed by parliament at the instance Of
George Ill, who was greatly disgusted
because two Of his brothers had mar
ried subjects against his wishes
This act made it unlawful for any
member Of the royal family to marry
without the consent of the sovereign
if under twenty-five, or to do so after
that age unless twelve months notice
had been given to the privy council
and parliament had not within those
twelve months expressed its disappro-
baton
All this was suggested by the picture
which we give Of the cot coverlet,
which was among the christening gifts
Of the new royal infant. The founda-
ton is Of white satin, on which the
royal crown is embroidered in deli

An enterprising hair dyer has pro-
jected a scheme for making bleached
blondes as fast as the demand may re-
quire- The subject Of operation seats
herself ia an operating chair, some
what similar to that used by the
dentists, and rests the back Of her
neck on q metal plate, which is the
negative terminal Of a rather strong
battery, the current from which is suf-
fcient to exert a moderate deccmposing
action on solutions of salts. containing
a bleaching agent such as chlorine.
The tresses are allowed TO fall back of
the ch1ir and are dampened with a so
luton of what the inventor terms his
secret A brush composed Of metallic
bristles which have been gilded or
platinized, and which are electrically
connected to the source Of the current,
thus forming the positive pole of the
battery, is slowly and steadily drawn
through the hair
A slight decomposition Of the salt
held in solution takes place. the be-
ginning agent is liberated and the col
oring matter in the hair is Iightened.
The discoverer declares that the color
given to the darkest hair may be varied
at pleasure. and may also be carefully
regulated; furthermore, he states that
the color does not resemble that of
ordinary s-bleached' hair, but is more
natural and in every way able to de-
ceive the most expert in such matters.
While the idea is one which is at
tractive from an experimental stand
point, the object attained, if his state
ments are true, is one which should be
pushed into obscurity by a minimum
amount of praise. Still another beau
tifying (2) effect Of the current is OBJ
tanned by this inventor. who seems too
fertile in such vanity-produeing ideas.
He advertises to make ladies' lips to
resemble coral in their dazzling red
ness. His process is, of course. an
electrical one, and he produces an IN
healthy reddening Of the lips by fore
ing an inflammation by means Of so
called Parable current
There is pretty good evidence that
his snowy operating rooms are well
crowded by a s'bevy Of beauties at all
times Of the day. and it is quite anus
ing to watch the silly women who have
much more money than brains at their
disposal emerge from this gilded den
feeling their fevered lips with their
tongues and trying to smile while
they are paying too dear for their
whistle. Electric World

yachts, but Is ready for a brush with a
brother yachts1nan at any time. She
knows about all there is to be known
about the sport, and when her yachts
race she takes personal command and
handles the tiller herself. She learned
the art of boat sailing from her father

build her the WindfalI, and during the
season the fair daughter Of Neptune
raced her new yacht in 10 events, cap
tured 20 first prizes and 10 others and
went into winter quarters with the pres
tige of having sailed tho fastest five
rater in England.
During the races Mrs. Schenley was
invariably at the helm, no matter
whether the wind blew great guns or
only came in capfuls, no matter whether
the sun shone bright or the rain de-
scended in torrents. This year Mrs.
Schenley created a great sensation in
the Solent with ger wonderful five rater,
the Flat Fish. This boat was designed
by Mr.. Soper in a single night and was
built with great rapidity. Mrs. Schenley
can swim like a duck, and while she
does not relish being capsized she has
been overheard SO many times that such
an incident excites her very little. III
addition to being a famous yachtswoln-
an, Mrs. Schenley has distinguished
herself with the rifle and shotgun. She
has killed many deer and wild boar and
can bring down a duck on the wing
with neatness and dispatch. Her boats
are painted red above the water line and
white below and make a remarkably pic
Suresque appearance in race.
