CHEWS BETEL AND PLAYS LOTTO

Queen Ranavalona, who was before
ascending the throne Princess Raza-
tindrahety, is now 30 years old, and
has ruled her 100000 subjects for ten
years. The queen has a stately and
distinguished appearance, and gets
her gowns from Paris. She has no
children, and no household cares, and
therefore spends most of her time in
gossiping with her court ladies, chew
ing betel, and playing Lotto or draughts.
She was educated by the Catholic
Sisters, but afterward became Pro
testant. Her rooms are furnished in
European style, and she has a piano
in her salon.

PROVERBS OF THE GAR.
QUAINT Philosophy Current Among
Russian Peasants.

1t is Welfl-knoWn fact that no peO-
pie under the sun manifest such hum
BILE submission and such religious re-
Spect to their princes as the Russians.
After God himself the MuScoyite has
no conception Of anything or anybody
| SO majestic, venerable and omnipres-
ent as his car. This psychological
trait naturally finds its best expires
sion in the proverbs of the peasantry
who are as much addicted to ,thls
form Of philosophy as the immortal
SanchO Panza. Witness the following
examples collected by contributor tc
the Paris Figaro:
The car, too, dies when his houl
! has come.
When the car splits in the soup
tureen the latter bursts with pride.
Even the car gets despatched when
he puts his foot i'll puddle.
The czar's crown doesn't protect him
from headche.
The lungs of the car himself could
not blow the sun out.
! The OK of the car himself has only
| two horns.
! Even the cars back would bleed
/ if f1ayed with the knout.
Even a leprouS car would pass as
being healthy.
To speak i'll of car, even. though
he be dead, is dangerous
Even to a blind car one must bow.
Far better to be a prince than be
, called car.
"A blind grand duke would not re-
| cover his sight even though he became
a car.
The horse that has once been ridden
by the car neighs without ceasing.
A car who drives out with a hired
horse is charged mile for every step.
If you try to hang the car the rope
will break.
The car, with all his power, is not
almighty.
The car is Gods cousin, but not his
brother
poor and therefore knows not what
poverty means.
The czar's arm is long, but it does
not reach to heaven.
Even the cars vinegar does not
sweeten.
Even the cars hand has only five
fingers.
The cars valet also thinks he has
some right to the throne
Even the cars body will decay if
it be not embalmed
The cars voice re-echoes even where
there are no mountains.
The cars troika leaves a deep rut
behind it,
The czar's urkases are worth nothing
unless God says "amen" to them.
A fat car is just as easily carried
off by death as lean beggar
An active car puts wings to his
ministers feet.
A car may be lame, but he can take
great steps.
A naked car would not disdain a
fOx's skin in winter.
A tear in the cars eye costs the
country lot of handkerchiefs
A car in the desert is a man and
nothing more.
One alone can be car, but many
can love him.
Even a cars horse will kick.
When the cars rhymster, woe to
the poet.
One cannot live for the car and the
peasant at one and the same time.
When the car squints the ministers
lre blind in one eye and the peasant
n both.
Do not hurt your hand, little father ]
Ear, or we shall have to carry our
arm in a sling.
The car can drink as much wine
Is he likes but only blood flows in his
-einS.
No one would doff his hat to a bare :
Dotted car.
What the car does not succeed in T
ime will
When the car partakes OLA roast F
many small bones remain.

His Attorneys Consent to Make
Public important Evidence
THEY HAVE TWO WITNESSES
VIII Swear Durrant Was on Market
Street When Minnie Williams
Was Murdered.

San Francisco, Aug. 25.-The attor-
neyS for Theodore Durrant have at last
consented to make public some of the
important evidence by which they eX-
pect to clear their client of the charge
of murder in the Minnie Williams case.
They have two witnesses by whom they
expect to prove that Theodore Durrant
was on Market street at the very mo-
ment when the prosecution insists that
the fiendish murderer was mutilating
the body of the dead girl in the library
of Emanuel church.
The defense will try to show that
the police have the testimony of both
the young men, but have given it no
thought and no weight because it
would not fit their precOnceived the
cries of the crime. Durrant himself
will trace his movements on that night,
and will have the records of the Chris
tian EndeaVor society to corrobOrate
what he will say. He carried the rec
ords with him from his home.
He will swear that he was busted in
their inspection on the way down town.
Burnett and Mcpherson will testify
that they saw the book under his arm
when he was down town, and the en-
tries in the book itself will prove that
he collected dues from some members
in Or. VogeIs house. 1t is now admit
ted that Durrants first story of his
movements on the night Minnie Will
liams was murdered, when he said he
went to the armory, is untrue. The
story he will tell in court is that he
started for the signal corps armory,
but became absorbed in Christian En-
deaVor accounts, which he carried with
him, and rode on down town. There he
met Burnett and Mcpherson, and at
forwards hurried to DR.. Vogel's house.

gave brilliant exemplification of the
coaching parade idea, which seems to
grow in favor and to find new devotees
every season.
Not only at the Mountains but at the
seaside, this form of gala outdoor pageant
commends itself. 1t is the theme of talk
and the object of busy preparation many
weeks before the date set for the great

for comment and congratulation long
