1t might be thought that the subject OF
the following description could dwell only
in some ones fancy, but it is reliably stat
ed that she lives in a London suburb She
has, it appears, a parlor maid, a housemaid
and cook, each of whom has a special
serving woman to wait on her. These
three subservants do not live in the house,
but come punctually every morning at 7
o'clock to prepare an early meal for the
fortunate domestics. They carry this meal
to the rooms of the cook, the housemaid
and the parlor maid, and after giving 1t to
them on neat little trays proceed to make
the kitchen and servants hall ready for
their three mistresses.
But even the servants are not quite SC
much pampered as the pet animals Of the
house. A favorite dog, lately deceased,
was taught to refuse any midday meal ex
cept fresh roast chicken. When his dog
ships health began to fail, his fond mis-
tress had her bed made on the floor, SO
that she could attend to his wants. When
he died, he was buried in a shroud of pale
blue satin and silver covered with white
flowers and in his memory every one in
the house. even the serving women, re-
ceived pin set with precious stones A
large family of cats resides in the garden
at the back of the house, where they live
luxurious lives, daily receiving all the
dainties of the season.-New York Sun.

The great delight of the Arab horsemaD
Is the fantasiya. The entries contain all
manner of horsemen, armed and unarmed,
who ride more or less wild figures to more
or less monotonous drumming music, and
who end by the most excited and exciting
pot pourri of feat riding. They stand in
their stirrups and throw their guns in the
air, whirl them about in the most approved
warlike style and fire them at intervals in
what seems an uncalled for and dangerous
fashion. They rear, wheel, kick, buck,
rush, stop, turn and twist their horses like
30 many tumblers, shouting meanwhile,
yelling, screaming like so many devils. No
picture can do justice TO the kaleidoscope
iervor and wildness of the scene il there
are many riders engaged in it. 1t is seeth-
Ing whirlpool of wild, unmeaning, half
merry, half fanaticai excitement, in which
no end of excellent Craftsmanship comes to
the fore.
From time to time the riders stop and
rank themselves for a rest on one side, then
out come individuals to show what, single,
their steeds can do. They pironette and
piaffer and dance, and then make rush at
full gallop TO one or other side, stop sud
denly and wheel about. There is no specific
art in what they do; each man has trained
his horse on his own unframed ideas. They
have close seat, clinging with their heels,
and exhibit great deal of skill in their
gyratory exercises, but once seen the fan
tasiya loses its interest. All semiwild ma
lions do about the same tricks on horse
back. think our Indian easily excels them
all, while nothing / have ever seen in fan
tasyas in the faintest degree approaches in
delicacy and difficulty the fine work of a
school trained horse in the hands Of a
master of the art.-Colonel T. A. Dodge, U.
s, A, in Harpers

The germ of the fixed bayonet, the dou-
Bile barreled gun, the seven chambered re-
yolver and the mitrailleuse may be discov-
cred in duplex weapon exhibited in the
Japanese collection at the Academy of the
Fine Arts. This is an ancient sword, with
a hilt contrived to conceal dagger-a
combination plainly of great advantage be-
fore the introduction of firearms. In the
hand of man suddenly attacked by an
enemy too near to permit the drawing of
the sword, the dagger could be brought
into play swiftly and effectively. Probably
the nearest approach to this REINFORCED
weapon among European nations was the
left handed basket hilted dagger Of the
Venetians, held in reserve when the sword
was in the right hand specimens of which
may be seen in collections of bric-a-brae
in this city .-Philadelphia Record.

Pocketlnife blades are very unevenly
tempered. Even in 30 called standard
cutlery some blades are hard and some
are soft, For the latter there is no rem

The Cabala, or Kabbala.

The Cabala, or Kabbala, was the oral law
Of the ancient Jews, which for thousands
of years was delivered from father to son
by word of mouth only. The rabbinical
tradition is to the effect that 1t was first
given to Adam by an angel. From Adam
it passed to Shem, and from Shem to
Abraham, and from the latter to tho whole
line of patriarchs Some of the ancient
writer's have produced proof to show that
the Cabala was not SO much of law as
has been claimed, but was simply super
stition concerning the mythical properties
of certain combinations Of letters and
words.-St. Louis Republic.

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the incan.
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer A few days ago prominent gen.
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night a lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite a number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want.
We have a complete stock Of everything in
this line and have just received a lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.

A gem offered gifts like these:

All were but dross, that even fame
Was but oblivion postponed.

"And he shall hear, as from strange spheres
Songs sweeter than are ever known

Say, what is life2 IT'S to be born
hapless babe, to greet the light
With sharp wall, as IL the morn
Foretold cloudy noon and night;
To weep, to sleep and weep again,
With sunny smiles between, and them
And then apace the infant grows
To be a laughing, sprightly boy,
Happy despite his little woes,
Were he but conscious of his Joy;
To be, in short. from two to ten,
A merry, moody child, and then?
And then, in coat and trousers clad,
To learn to say the decalogue
And break 1t, and, unthinking lad,
With mirth and mischief all agog,
A truant oft by field and fen
To capture butterflies, and them
And then, increased in strength and size,
To be, anon, a youth full grown,
A hero in his mothers eyes,
A young Apollo in his own;
To initiate the ways Of men
In fashionable sins, and then?
And then, at last, to be a man;
To fall In love, TO WOO and wed,
With soothing brain to scheme and plan
To gather gold or toll for bread:
To sue for fame with tongue or pen
And gain or lose the prize. and then?
And then in gray and wrinkled ED
To mourn the speed of life's decline;
To praise the scenes his youth beheld
And dwell in memory of lang syne;
To dream awhile, with darkened ken,
Then drop into his grave, and them

In the dead hours of the night there comes
A precious hush, not Of the tomb, nor yet
OF life-a mystic spell. when dews are wet;
When, though the voice Of nature softly huns
It's as a lullaby, and the mad drums
That tear and crush the peace of day, nor ys
The freedom of the mind have scope, are set
Aside with riot that all thought benumbs.
Into this atmosphere of sacred charm,
Secure from violence or other harm,
Dance out the fairies of the poets dream
With nimble feet and pinions all agleam-
A changing tableau till the wand of day
Bids silence and her phantom brood away.

or property in Virginia until he has had
a perfectly fair and impartial trial. from
which all possibility OF passion or preju-

Gay times are ahead for some of the
ministers of the old Dominion IL the bin
presented in the House of Delegates last
Friday defining who may celebrate mar.
riaec rites in Virginia" passes the Legs
lature. This law provides that ministers
applying for authorization TO celebrate the
rites Of marriage. among other things,
must be "a person who teaches the doc
trines OF the faith of the persuasions 10
which he belongs. and provided further,
that he has visited at least twice in every
thirty days every individual member Of
his congregation or those who habitualiy
attend his place of worship, and shall
have held I'M the domicile OF every house
holder or head of such family, private
worship at least twice i'm thirty days,
and who shall have visited the bedside of
every invalid or sick person in need Of
spiritual advice and comfort and who has
not been absent from his church or place
Of worship. unless prevented by sickness.
more than tour Sundays in a. year, and
any person celebrating the rite of mar
riagc, or discharging any of the dutip
delegated TO such professions, shall Doe
Ceemcd guilty of a misdcmeanor and oil
conviction thereof ne shall Doe fined not
less than ten nor more than five hum
dred dollars. and shall oe incapable of
exercising any OF the powers in this act
granted until the said fine shall be paid.
Should this become a law the ministers
of Richmond and other cities Will have
10 do some lively moving around. Take.
for instance. one of the churches in this
city which has membership of about
loo. The pastor will have TO make > 400
calls every thirty days among the COM
municants of his church. not including
the hundreds of others who "habitualy
attend his church." by travelling seven
DAYS ia the week. the pastor will visit
eighty persons daily. By mremitting en-
ergy during ten hours OF each day he VIII
bee able to spend seven minutes with
each parishioncr thus allowing him hali
a minute to get to the next house. This
will leave him six hours every day 10
study. preach, conduct funeral services
visit non-communicants who "habitually
attend his church." and incidentally To-
exercise the right thus earned TO marry
such couples as present themselves.
ono advantage which The minister
would derive would be that the necessities
of the case would require him TO partake
of the hospitality of those whom he
visited. ana if he IS a single man Dee
would Dee relieved Of board bill ana oi
course his church could reduce his salary
accordingly.
There are other advantages 90 the new
law besides the above, and requiring The
minister to be orthodox. but enough has
been sad.
