The queen of Roumania began sew

on many subjects to the young women
Of the Roumanian aristocracy. The
talks grew into lectures, and became at
last so popular that the general public
begged to be allowed to attend them.
The queen therefore obtained the nee

queen ready speaker and an advanced

the leading feature of the exhibition
was a collection Of dolls sent by the
queen of Roumania, every part of their
dresses having been made by her mat

leaps and bounds where the trail was
soft, and when We struck the snow,
what a toboggan slide it made with the
reinforced seat of a pair of corduroy
trousers for the toboggan. Not every
man in the United States was enjoy
ing a slide in-snow twenty feet deep
on that October day. and it was almost
a temptation to go back again and take
another, but we resisted and hurried
on to camp, where we stretched our
selves on the cots in a tent and for the
first time We realized that even the
search for gold could not be followed as
we had followed il that day, without
making the searchers tired, and very
tired. That night we slept in tent on
which the rain fell softly. but we need
ed no lullaby. and so sound was our
sleep that not even a dream of wealth

The next day We walked that six
miles of skid again. going away from
the gold that waited in the mountains
for other hands to carry il away. and

number weighing $50 pounds, had had
his leg broken by a rolling rock and
eight of them had carried him down
the trail we had just come over and
delivered him safely in the valley. But
afterwards, those who had carried him
told us that il was the most difficult
and trying mountain work they had
ever undertaken and that the suffering
of their helpless burden was pitiful as
they swung him around jutting crags,
lifted him up and down the cliffs and
slipped and fell with him over the
rugged rocks and along the steep in
clines. holding the litter with one hand
and clinging to roots or branches with
the ether.
In the Cave of Gold.
Up the final crags we went at last,
and then We stood in the very mouth of
the cave of gold, and looked outward

away below us and before US upon a

Us for tangible proof of the tales that

crushed into a granular dust that could

and tossed it about as one might toss
potatoes in a patch. Yet it was rich in
gold: tests had proved that it's value
varied from $40 TO $4,000 ton. and
there was 10000 tons of it in sight in
the mountain, worth on an average $50

pany OF dervish soldiers appeared at
the dungeon and ordered him to go
with them to the palace. Cuzzi was
seized with fear and trembling, believ-
ing that he was to be put to death. But
instead the Kalifa, before whom he
was taken, received him kindly, and,
after questioning him closely, inform
ed him that he had been created Mu-
hsddin of the mosque Of omdurman.
He was commanded to abjure the Cath
Ollie religion and accept the Mohamme-
dan, which he did without a murmur
Cuzzi describes his life at the mosque
as lonely and monotonous, most Of his
time being spent in prayer. He was
not permitted to converse with those
around him, and during all the years
IF his service as muheddin not a word
escaped his lips except at rare inter
walls in response to the commands or
inquiries of some superior. Upon state
occasions Cuzzi was summoned to the
palace. where, with Slatin Pasha, he
acted as guard at the door of the Khal-
ifa's apartments. When engaged in
this service discipline was somewhat
relaxed. The Khalifa seemed to be
proud Of his white servant and showed
him attentions which created jealousy
on the part Of his Dervish attendants.
But, although this occasional absence
from the mosque served to relieve
somewhat the strain upon his mind
and body, Cuzzi declares that he never
for q moment knew what happiness
was or felt his life secure.
"In all the sixteen years Of my cap
tiYity," he said to the sirdar, there
was never day in. which had food
enough to satisfy the cravings of hun

The Hungarian premier has been
charged with exercising undue influ-
ence on a provincial official in con-
nection with some electoral affair. The
matter was dealt with by the opposi-
ton recently at sitting held with
closed doors. There was a heated de-
bate, in which the veteran former pre-
mier, M. Tisza, took part, which he
only does on important occasions. The
accusation of electoral corruption was
freely banded about, and challenge
to fight a duel-which was actually
fought with pistols, neither combatant
being wounded-was openly addressed
by one member to another. When the
prime minister made his appearance
he was greeted with cries from the
clerical benches of Turn him out!"
What does that man want here?" and
other ordinations. It is even said
that the attitude of a portion of the
opposition was at one moment such
