quences falling upon the not unusual
head.
Disappointed and enraged, the whole
Soman family, parents, uncles, broth
ers, and sisters, set to work to abuse
and beat the unfortunate Chumla.
''Unlucky creature!" they cried.
"7ou have disgraced us all. You are
bewitched; but we can, at least, beat
the devils out of you.'
Poor Chumla's appeals for mercy for
tunately did not fall entirely upon I'M
sympathetic ears. Young Motilal, near
by, appeared upon the scene just in
time to receive blow intended for her
'Why do you beat her thus?" he de-
manded.
because she is bewitched," replied
one of the uncles. ''She was to have
married the great rajah, but now he
will not have her on account of bad
omens. She is disgraced thereby in all
mems eyes, and we shall never be able
to marry her. But we suspect, rascal,
that you know something of this" and
he threateningly f1ourished the stick
over young Motilal's head.
II do know something's boldly re-
torted the other. 81 know it is fact
that her flower husbands live
"Oh, you. dol" came chorus of re-
joinders. ''Where are they, then?"
"That I shall not tell you, unless :"
"Unless?"
UNLESS she is promised to me as
wife. Then I will kill all the flowers
and marry her. I alone know where
they are. See the proof?" and he held
up sprig of the rajah's plant.
"Take her, by all MEANS" cried
Chumla's father, land may she bring
for you better fortune than she has
brought us, the unlucky daughter of
evil"
So Motilal rooted up all of Chumla's
husbands, and exchanged them for the
person of Chumla herself-a bargain
which, so far as anyone knows, he never
repented, for the youthful Hindu maid,
on this occasion at least, gave not only
her hand, but her heart.-Atlanta Con-
stitutiOn.

Then the rajah, believing that there
Knight be some truth in the report, de-
termined, if possible, to set the matter
at rest by search of the jungle in the
vicinity Of the Soman bungalow, at the
same time privately making up. his
mind that whether the plant were found
alive or NOT he would refer the whole
matter to Brahmin of great astrolog-
ical reputation, in order to decide if it
savored of enchantment, because in
that event nothing in all Hindustan
would induce him to marry Chumla.
You see, the rajah, like many people
elsewhere, was inclined to be supersti-
tious.
So, accompanied by his servants, the
rajah set out to search for the flower,
but the party had not proceeded far
when a cat in hot pursuit of a bird
sprang directly across their path.
The rajah paused for a moment, as
that was an unlucky sigma cat cross
ing the path in connection with matri-
mony; but at length, proceeding, they
had not gone far when cobra glided
out from the bush and disappeared on
the opposite side in the rank vegeta-
ton.
At this second i'll omen the rajah halt
ed abruptly and was debating the ad-
visibility of hasty retreat, when the
appearance of a fox a short distance
ahead settled all doubts, and sent the
party home in great expedition.
With three such ill omens, a cat, a
snake and fox, taken in conjunction
with the mystery concerning the flow
ers, the rajah could not be expected to
carry out his part in the marriage with

the place of kalsomines and wall pa
per. Alabastine sets with the wall. 1t
is practically stone cement, as hard
and smooth as paint, but much less ex-
pensive, and is applied just as easily by
anyone. 1t can be mixed with either
cold or hot water, and applied with a
kalsomine brush. It is clean, healthful,
and economical. Every one of the
strong points of Alabastine, proved to
be such by the test of twenty years.
is picked up by every new manufac-
turer Of ordinary kalsominea and claimed
for his goods. These claims are alb
surd on their face. Alabastine alone
can prove it's durability by the test Of
time. 1t is sold by paint dealers, in
e-lb. packages, properly labeled.

Relish for Supper or Luncheon.


A very nice relish may be made with
spiced or picked shad, and will help
out luncheon or supper. Cut a
cleaned fish into large pieces and lay
them in salt and water for 20 minutes.
Then drain them and cover the bottom
of an earthen baking dish with layer
of the fish. Sprinkle over the fish few
whole ,allspice, some pepper corns, a
blade of mace and dash of cayenne.
Nearly fill the dish with layers of fish
and spice, and pour over the whole
enough good vinegar to cover the fish.
Cover the dish with plate and bake in
avery slow oven for three or four hours.
The fish bones will be dissolved by the
vinegar. This is eaten cold, and will
keep some time.

NEWARK. July Il, 1~s99-Governor
voorhees,, who was here yesterday as a
witness in a ehancery case, discussed the
problem Of Jersey representation at the
coming ovation of Admiral Dewey in New
york. The Governor Is greatly perplexed
over ways and means BY which the state
may make a creditable showing. He be-
lieves, however, that a plan can be de-
vised by which Jersey can send a credita-
bic deputation Of her military and
marines.
sThe state.r he said, should be re-
presented, and well. The cost Of such re-
presentation would. I am confident, have
been provided for ny the last Legislature
if the law makers had known when
Dewey was coming home.
The plan Of a public subscription has
been suggested, but it is scarcely right for
the citizens to go down into their own
nockets when the surplus In the State
f~reasurvf is a million M a half dollars.
No way at present suggests itself, except
for me to become personally r~esponSlpaes
