QUEENS BATH IN MADAGASCAR.
A Strange Ceremony Praoticed at the Ma
 tionaI Festival Each Year.

A Strange Ceremony Praeticed at the Ma
 tlonaI Festival Each Year. r
 The following is an account of the strange ceremony practiced at the Mala- gasy national festival every year, as related by nearly all the travellers that have visited the land of the Hoyas. 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. During this time no business is allowed to proceed Tho people. of the kingdom meet the queen in the sil- yer palace on tho first day of the festival, and red cock is then brought by the head priest or sacridcer of the court. Its neck is wrung, and the blood being caught in a banana leaf is carried to tho sovereign, who touches with it her forehead, neck, stom- ach, armpit, finger nails and toe nails, the rest of the assembly following the exam pie.
 Next day the people assemble again for the royal bath in the great palace. This the queen takes in one of the sacred cor ners of the hall, in a silver bath, being screened from view by "lambag" held by her attendants
 Amid the firing of cannon and the joy ous shouts of her humble subjects her ma jesty then passes along the balcony, and from 0 horn in her hand sprinkles the crowd with the water she has just been using for her ablutions, exclaiming at tho same time, "Masina, ahop' q am puri- fed). This sprinkling is said to typify tho abundance of rain during the coming year.
 To be absent from the ceremony would be to incur the royal displeasure. 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

A FORTUNE FOR KINDNESS.
Miss Epplewhite of Chicago Bequeathed
 S1,OOO,O00 by a Woman.

Miss Agnes Epplewhite, now of Chi cago was at Port Jervis, N. Y., two years ago. She was at the Delaware House and received her board in return for superin- tending the hotels evening musicales. She was pretty girl, of charming disposi- tion, and was a favorite with the guests of the hotel.
 Among them was a Mrs. Hendricks, a wealthy widow of Philadelphia, a paralyt- ic, who spent most of her time in a wheel chair. One of her few pleasures was lis tening to the sweet music of Miss Epple- white.
 The two became very intimate, and in addition to her regular duties Miss Epple- white often played for the benefit of Mrs. Hendricks. At the close of the season they parted and have never since met.
 About week ago Miss Epplewhite, who now lives in Chicago, received 0 letter informing her that Mrs. Hendricks had bequeathed her S1,000,00 - Chicago Times Herald

PER CAPITA DEBTS OF EUROPE.
Every Child Born In France Is o@@ Ia
 Tfancs Worse of Than Nothing.

Planes Worse QH Ahan Hot t1lng:
 It will probably be h6ws to most people that, according to tho latest statistics, ev- cry baby born in Ffance is, from the very hour of it's birth 922 francs 50 centimes in debt. The national debt of France is greater than that of any other country in the world, amounting in round numbers to 85 425, 900, 900 francs, of which about 4,0OO, GOO, 900 arc departmental or com munal debts, while the rest, strictly speak ing, is owed by the state itself, of which each of the 88, 250, GOO inhabitants is part
 After France the gay nation of. Portugal has tho largest per capita debt, each little Portuguese being 009 francs worse off than nothing when it comes into the world, while every subject of King Humbert of Italy is burdened with 405 francs of na- tional obligations
 It may be thought that as France carries a heavier financial burden than any other country it is nearer the verge of ruin. But figures, which are said not to lie, are some times deceiving. Italy and Portugal, though their national debts are much less, are more nearly insolvent for they are al- most entirely indebted to other countries, while the people of France are tho credit ors of the nation.
 The German debt is only 2,131, 900, 900 francs many times less than that of France. aThe French pay an average of SS francs 20 centimes per capita in taxes for tho support of the government, while the German contribution is but A francs for each individual. This is accounted for by the fact that it costs the French people 377,00O francs per hour to be governed, while the monarchical machinery of Ger many is much less expensive.
 Another reason is the constant and rapid increase of population in Germany, despite the steady and enormous immigration. Statistics show that the Germans are the most and the French the least prolific peo- pie of Europe. The French are a nation of stay at homes, and do not adapt them selves in foreign lands so easily as the Ger mans yet their population, instead of in- creasing, is slowly diminishing.
 When Dr. Roux's discovery of antitoxine as an antidote for diphtheria was made public, he was hailed us tho greatest bene- factor of his age, as 3 6-10 per cent of the population of France fall each year victims to that disease, and the saving of so many lives means that the population will begin to increase, or at least hold it's own.-New York World

Plagiarism.

That was neat defense which Marion Crawford interposed when he was accused of plogiarizing the elopement scene in "Casa Braccio" from an old magazine story. He simply admitted the fact and stated that the story in question was writ ten by his wife's aunt, Mrs Hobson, who herself told him the story, which was founded on an actual occurrence, so that there was no plagiarism involved Charles Reade, concerning one of his numerous plagiarisns, alleged that he had purchased the right to use the material from its au- thor, but the plea was not allowed because the story was not true, but the invention of the other man, which an author had no right to pass off as his own.-Springfield (Mass.)

The chief charm of Mary, queen of Scots was her voice. It was wonderfully sweet and attractive, and when she used it in her peculiar cooing, purring way it was impossible for the ordinary man to resist its charm. She was an excellent musician, and her rendition of English and French ballads was said to Dc with remarkable grace of expression.

 Little did we think years ago when Dr. Holloway, our great southern specialist, located in Birmingham and modestly an- nounced through the columns of the Her. aId that he would treat only a special class of diseases that he would ever achieve an international reputation. To our personal knowledge from across the ocean, in far away England, they have learned Of his skill and fame and consult him. We be- lieve with the doctor that truth, merit and honor always win. He stands at the head "a pleasant gentleman, an able physician and is recognized as the leading author ity in the treatment of all private diseases. Birmingham may well be proud of him.

to that good end. 1t can be made with
very little trouble and is really so at
tractive as TO be an addition to the
taste, besides serving its more prosaic
use.
To make it select piece Of soft gray
channels skin, or, if that be too quiet for
your taste, any color you prefer. Cut a
section a little wider than your cards
are long and as long as four times their
width, plus the exact depth Of the pack
when piled one upon the other.
Turn over at each end piece the ex-
act width of one card, so as to form
two pockets of equal size Cut from
the chamois four strips, each as long
as the pockets are deep and as wide as
half the depth Of the entire pack of
cards. Leave one end Of each straight
and round the others slightly at each
corner. Then, with extreme neatness,
overland one TO each end Of each peck
ct, so as to close the openings, letting
the curved end form the back. When
that is DONE paint upon each pocket a
heart, C y b. or any one of the symbols
used. Close the case and paint a similar
design on the outside. Then follow all
the edges with a double line of black.
You will find the case most com
plete and practical one, besides being a
zeal economy, for it keeps the cards in
tact and in perfect condition. Slip half
the pack into each pocket, then fold it,
one over the other. No dust can enter
No cards can slip out The case is orna-
mental and can be kept always within
reach. a more complete tritie it is diff
cult to find, and from the testimony of
