that the reason. for the impatience and

WINGED, they don't want to be bothered
with any more evidence from the ac-

this for subtle sarcasm.

RANAvALo. QUEEN OF MADAGASCAR.

and always escorted by the vigilant
minister, but her appearances in pub
lie were few and far between. Once,
it is true, the royal negro blood bub-
bled over. Incensed by the presump-
ton of an inferior and the usurpation
of her hereditary rights, she reyolted.
This exercise of spirit gained her moth
ING more than a stricter regime of inn
prisonment, for Rainilaiarivony indig-
nant that his authority had been ques-
toned, resolved there and then to put
an end to the attempt at woman's
rights and only screwed the irons
tighter. In fact, so closely was she
confined that it is said that the only
CLEAN of pleasure that frightened her
monotonous life was flying paper kites
from her bedroom window.
Things were much gayer for her at
La Reunion, where she had two car
riages at her disposaland enjoyed more
outings in a week than formerly in
year. In Algeria she will have still
greater freedom, which, with her year
Iy allowance of So, 900 from the French
government, and a comfortable villa,
ought to render her exile tolerable.
Queen Ranavalo is slight, of average
height, and her copper complexion in
a way conceals her 80 years. Her face,
though far from pretty, is agreeable,
and it might even be said that there
is something attractive in the ensemble
of large, tender eyes, short, slightly
fattened nose and thin lips. Though
of a remarkably sweet disposition, the
little queen has a will of her own, which
France saw very plainly in the several
revolts at Tananariva. When it was
known that she was expected at Mar
seilles a crowd gathered on the wharf.
The curious were much astonished at
seeing, instead of a swarthy, ungainly
negress most graceful, dignitied
woman, dressed in green silk, richly
trimmed with passementerie, and wear
ing a black picture hat with feathers
and roses, coquettishly perched on the
side of the slightly woolly mop.
The queen has always been decidedly
fond of dress and iewelry, and although
she had only 24 hours in which to make
all preparations for quitting La Re
union, the quantity of baggage she
managed to get together is astonish-
ing. There are cases and cases contain
ing the dresses, which were the object
of so much care and attention in her
short period of power. During the voy-
age this wardrobe of thin silks and
fluffy gauzes proved far from season
able, and Capt Bonnefay, of the Yang
tse, was obliged to purchase at Port
Said warm clothes and fur-lined gloves
for his shivering charge. She carries
with her more than 2,OO0,O 900 worth of
jewelry. Chicago Record.

figures, what say you we should de
duce from them-in other words, how
shall we lay our course?'
Well" he said, with bitter look
into the south, had we yonder boat |
could fetch you a straight answer, but
what navigator shall lay you the
course of a raft? 1t will be as the
wind says. AS it holds now, we might
strive to make the Bermudas; but by
the looks of the sky and the smell of
the air there should presently be a
change, and it is odds that it fetches
then from the north"

cargo rather gravely, that we are in

his usual manner that this was the

manner steadfast."
AYE, and so it is" answered the
captain, ''only not at present con
firmed and with a staying weight in it.
But since it is better to do something
than nothing and no harm can come
by it, we will set the sail. Master Ar
dick, pluck the mast from among the
rattle yonder, fetch that large piece Of
canvas, and let us see what this craft
will do under cloths"
1t came like a bit of cheer to have
this rational thing to do, after such a
solemn go-round, and made haste to
overhaul the spar and canvas and fetch
them aft. Here was the clearest space,
and l spread the articles out, and the

little time we had the affair ready, and

posedly.
AYE, aye!" answered, almost a
tremble with anxiety. How fares

"Not over WELL" he returned, with
the same GOODNESS. 'Pradey has stove
the boats and spiked at least part of

Yet word" I said, as gave up the
tiller. 'Is the ship scuttled?"

the window whether the gig was stove
or no, and as he was returning de-
scended for a bit to the storeroom. He
reported the hold all a-wash."

returned at once to Mr.. Tym, and the
captain, bravely and coolly, as 1t
seemed to me, reported the thing as 1t
stood. The supercargo looked grave,
but not dismayed, and said that since
such was the situation he presumed we
must forthwith set about constructing
a raft.
"Aye," answered the captain, briefly.
"Follow me and we will at it"
We did not stop to try the well, know
ing nearly enough what it would show,

MODERN GRANOMOTHERS.

You wonder where they've gone to. those
grandmothers of yore,
With such quaint old nursery jingles that
we always cried for more.
With their spectaces and aprons, and their
ruffed muslin caps.
And their puffs of snowy hair, and their
broad enticing laps?'
Why they've gone, dear, with the children
of those old and happy days,
When little ones were little ones, in
thoughts and acts and ways;
When everything was different and simpler
lives were led.
Those days are gone 1.-The times have
changed" with that the whole is said.
The grandma of the modern child must
crimp and talk and dress,

her grandma less,
For lads and lassies of these days are crit

With a grandma Of Eye olden time" they
wouldn't once be seen.
But after all, beneath the dress, and this
we won't forget,
That grandma's grandma, now as then, her
love is ours yet.
And If the children turn to her-demand
her love and care,
They'll find that underneath 1t all the
grandma's always there.

Over all we placed the two cabin doors
and the main part of the boards that
had formed the bulkhead forward of
the 'twecn-decks. Empty breakers, or
water casks, were then lashed along
all sides to act as bulwarks, and the
structure was finished. We launched
her without much trouble, the sea run
ming light and there being only small
wind, and when she was clear of the
tackle we brought her under the quar-
ter, and with great haste-for now the
ship went heavily and showed how
nearly she was waterlogged-we fitted
her out.
"She Is beginning to SETTLE" said l,
just as we got the last thin s put over.
YES" answered Capt. Sellinger;
''but she may not go down for little
time, for all that"
He seemed loath to quit his good
ship, and | could not wonder; but yet
there was little room in the business
for sentiment. We finally cast off, and
l put over our oar and sculled off
matter of 100 yards or SO, where we
hung for a little space, at the cap
tain's desire, to watch the end of the
poor craft. We had hardly any time to
wait. Of sudden she seemed to give
great jar, steadied, and almost stood
still, and then, with fling upward of
her stern, plunged down, and in almost
an instant wallowed from sight. The
broken waves swung in, riding in rings
above her vanished masts, and the
space she had occupied was open sea
like the rest.
Till the Industry had thus come to
her end we could not fetch our minds
to other concerns, but now the cap
|. tain gave a sigh, which seemed to
break the spell, and We stirred in our
places and presently fell to talking.
The longboat was still lifting and fall

of the light breeze, but yet already
considerable distance off, and slowly

fort to come upon any course, and
were therefore merely slipping gently
to leeward.
Pray, where do you prick us down
on the chart?" inquired Mr.. lynn of
the captain, after we had speculated
little upon the weather and the pres
ent mild wind.

answered Capt. Sellinger, 1--WE should

German Empress' Gowns,

The German empress is by no means
economical as regards her dress,
though she does all in her power to be
so. Empress frederick, on the con-
trary, spends very little on her outer
adornment, and has always been noted
for the plainness of her clothing. All
the grand court toilets of the German
empress are made in Vienna, a few only
being made in Berlin. The trains alone
cost from $1,000 to 100000, and tl$y are
of so great a length and so heavy that
her majesty is unable to walk unless
her train is carried by the pages. 1t is
a rule at the German court that neither
the empress nor any of the princesses
may appear twice in the same costume
at court.

NOW LIVES IN ALGIERS.
RnnavnIO, Once Queen of MadnSas-
car, Has Been Well Treated by
the French GOyernmeD

Queen Ranavalo has only her own
clegerness to thank for the fact that
she has taken one more unwilling step
away from her countrymen and kins-
men in Madagascar. After the eNecu-
ton of her uncles two years ago she
was deposed by Gen. Gallieni and re-
moved by Lieut.. Durand to the island
of La Reunion, out in the Indian ocean,
to eastward of Madagascar. But there
Ranavalo was too near to her race and
to the throne she had quilted. There
were intrigues against the French,
(which | could not but oyerhear," OBJ
serves Ranavalo, with pious naivete,
now that the French government is re-
moving her to Algeria, where she may
be in no danger of ''overhearing" any
thing prejudicial to the French.
The French were by no means sure
that their vigilance was evaded or that
the former queen was in anything like
active relations with her former sub
iects, but there was the constant fear
that her dusky majesty's presence in
the neighborhood would keep alive the
hopes which France desires to annihi
late.
Though the eXiled queen yearns for
the land of her fathers, she certainly
has no sovereign dignity to regret, for
until three years ago the prime min
lister, Rainilaiarivony, was undisputed
master of the land and the nominal
queen lived as recluse in Tananariva
palace. When allowed to leave the pal
ace she was carried in a sedan chair

Summer Belts and buckles.

Belts of bias black satin and black
satin ribbon are still feature of dress,
and the wide belt of bias satin folds
drawn around Il slender figure is one
of the most becoming fancies. Belts
of ribbon with buckles in the back are
seen on many of the new thin gowns,
and three bands of inch-wide black
velvet ribbon, spreading a little dis
tance apart at the middle of the back
where they are fastened with small
steel buckles, is another pretty belt
effect.

A crocodile which, in the course Of
several weeks, manages TO devour some
Is men and cattle, is in a fair way to es-
tablish record. A gharial which in
tested the River Boral, near Silchar, had
achieved this unenviable notoriety and
was fast becoming a terror to the in
habitants of the town; it had in fact,
become necessary to protect bathing
in the river. Some days ago, how
ever, Subadar Maula Khan, of the
Seventeenth Bengal infantry, now at
Silchar, waited for the crocodile, and
succeeded in disposing of her with
three shots from a rifle. In the attempt
to drag the animal out of the water q
boat was upset and the animal was
eventually towed ashore by steamer.
Forty sepoys bore the body of the mon
ster in triumph to the regimental lines,
where it was exhibited, fully 10000 vii
layers coming from near and far dur
ing the day to see their vanquished foe.
