THE Ex-os3EEN OF MADAGASCAR.
n Remarkable Woman, Who Goes BSre-
footed In Worth COWS.

a Remarkable Woman, Who Goes Bake
footed In Worth Cows.
The defeated queen Of Madagascar,
the third largest island in the world, IS,
according to the London Woman, one OF
the most interesting womcn CT the mo-
ment. Il is true that she has lately been
in troable, but it seems now that tie
chiyalrous French government will
leave her almost as well CT IS ever. Her
majesty's great charm lies IN the orig
inality Ct her manners and OF her habits
Of life. She wears s., ,0G0 Worth dresses,
and gees about in iEcm barefooted. She
chevs tobacco and drinks champagne all
day long. She imports perfumes from
Paris, but uses palm oil on her hair.
Many similar Illustrations of her orisl-
nality might be given. Her great passion,
however, was the acquisition Of Worth
dresses. She wore them everywhere, no
matter how injurious TO them the oGcu-
patton she was engaged III might be.
Visitors saw her majesty sitting on tho
floor Of her palace busily transferring
meai of rice, oil and chicken to her
mouth with her fingers, and incidental
" spelling magnificent Worth creation
of silk, velvet and lace. The revenues
she derived from her unfortunDs e peo-
pie were sufficient to purchase her all
the dresses she needed.
She scarcely approved of all the vexa-
tious details Of civilized feminine dress.
For instance, corsets, stockings and
shoes formed no part of her wardrobe
When her majesty crossed the street on
a wet day, the foreign residents of her
capital were treated to spectacle which
amused them, but which the natives
eaZed at with awe and reverence. Un-
der these circumstances it may be lmag-
ined that her majesty was very much
pained when she had to go to war with
The French, the source Of all her finery,
But they proposed to annex her country,
and she had to make stand. She ha-
rangued her people III the streets OF her
capital, Antananarivo, and told them 1t
was holy war, and made them swear
to follow to the death. At the first en-
counter with the French they showed
themselves useless.
