SELF SACRIFICE.

Miss Stella Delaney was lost IN
thought. This is warming against
venturing into unfamiliar territory.
To do Stella justice. it must be said
that she seldom wandered in thought
full fields. But the present was an ex-
traordinary occasion.
Mr.. Archibald Vandermillion had
asked her to become Mrs. Archibald
Vandermillion, and he must have
meant it, for he committed his propo-
sal to writing and availed himself of
the postal facilities in transmitting it..
Mr.. Vandermillion was not by nature
courageous man. He had not the
nerve to propose verbally. That is
why he sent letter.
Like the dutiful daughter that she
was. Stella Delaney laid the letter in
her mammals lap and asked the ma.
ternal advice. Mrs. Delaney read it
carefully and then said:
81 don't think Acrihbald Wander
million would suit you at all for hus-
band.''
"Why, mammal"
"Well, in the first place. he Is old
enough to be your father. ua
"But, mamma. girls often marry
elderly men, especially II they don't
show their age particularly.
"But that is precisely what Mr..
Archibald Vapdermillion does. He
shows every day of his age. Then.
again, he has led very wild life for
at least thirty years. Think of that.
He was sowing wild oats fully ten
years before you were born. An mex
perienced girl like you could do moth
ing whatever in managing a man like
that. He has had his own way all his
life, without the least restraint from
a judicious wife, and 1t is very strange
that he should think Of giving up his
bachelor freedom.
"But. mamma"
"Hear me out, Stella, love. Not for
all his vast wealth. nor for the elegant
establishment he could give you, would
! commit my delicate daughter of
nineteen years to the care of suoh a
man as Archibald Vandermillion.
should be an unnatural mother even to
think of such sacrifice for a moment
The sort of wife he needs is one who
can curb his unbridled inclinations and
habits, and transform him into use
full member Of society. For these rea-
sons, Stella, dear. l have resolved to
marry him myself" :"
With the virtue of self sacrifice upon
her noble features, Mrs. Delaney swept
cut of the room, leaving her daughter
lost in deep thought, as before re-
marked. d.-Harper's Bazaar.

. QUEENS BATH IN MADAGASCAR.

Since the great African island has
lately caused great deal Of talk, it
will not be uninteresting to give some
account of the strange ceremony prac-
ticed at the Malagasy national festival
every year, as related by nearly all the
travellers that have visited the land of
the Hovas. The "Fandroana, or
royal bath, was first instituted by King
Ratambo, and is held annually, by
royal proclamation. from the 22d Of
November to the 10th of January. Dur
ing this time no business is allowed to
proceed. The people of the kingdom
meet the queen in the silver palace on
the first day Of the festival, and a red
cock is then brought by the head priest
or sacrificer of the court. Its neck is
wrung. and the blood being caught in
a banana leaf is carried to the sover-
eign, who touches with it her forehead,
neck, stomach, armpit, finger nails
and toe nails, the rest Of the assembly
following the example.
Next day the people assemble again
for the royal bath in the great palace.
This the queen takes in one of the
sacred corners Of the hall, in silver
bath, being screened from view by
"lanbag" held by her attendants.
Amid the firing of cannon and the
Joyous shouts of her humble subjects
her Majesty then passes along the bal
cony. and from a horn in her hand
sprinkles the crowd with the water
she has just been using for her ablu-
tions, exclaiming at the same time:
!" Masina, ahor' I am purified).
This sprinkling is said to typify the
abundance of rain during the coming
year.
To be absent from the ceremony
would be to incur the royal displeas-
ure, so that the French Penipotentiary
Minister himself, M. le Myre de Vilers,
who is now again on his way to NADIA
gascar, had to submit himself, in 1886,
to this strange ordeal. Every wife,
also, must be with her husband at that
time or it is considered that she Is as
good as divorced. The new year is
then supposed to have begun and for
several weeks there is great deal OF
visiting and feasting.
