ABBAS IT., THE KHEDIvE.
Some Facts About the Young Mon- arch Whom England Does
 Not Like.

Abbas II. seems bent upon making
 himself impossible. and in the event of his deposition becoming necessary the readiest substitute would appear to be
 his younger brother. who from child
 hood upward was always the brighter
 and more amiable boy of the two. But
 there is an alternative worth considcra-
 tion, and that Is the restoration of the
 old Mussulman succession vested in the
 elder branch of the family. This was
 set aside in 1866 by Sultan Abdul Aziz,
 who was bribed by Niceroy Ismail to alter the succession 10 his direct line.
 It was then that he received from his
 suzerain the Eigh-sounding Persian title of khedive. By this arbitrary act
 Prince Halim, the only surviving son
 of Mehemet Ali. was excluded from the succession in favor of Ismail's son. Few
 fix. Halim, the most liberal and en- frightened member of the family, is now dead, but his children remain The eldest son. Prince Said. who has received 8 careful European education, would be persona grata to the Egyp- tian people. both as the grandson of Mehemet Ali and as representing q re- turn to the Koranic law of succession.
 The present khedive is the seventh ruler of Egypt in the line of Mehemet Ali, and the second Abbas. The name is sinister one in the Egyptian dy- asty. The first Abbas. who succeeded Ibrahim in 1649. had a brief reign but long enough to make his memory ex- ecrated. Cowardly and cruel. addicted to the most repugnant form of vice, he was assassinated by his own crea- lures in 1854 at Abbasiyeh. in the pal ace whose gaunt remains still line the ,oad.
 His name became a by-word in Egypt, and the members of the vice regal fam ;ly have always discreetly consigned i him to oblivion as much as possible. | He did not reside at the Cairo citadel | ike his predecessors. Mehemet Ali and | [brahim, but built himself a rambling palace in the heart of the town. con- spicuous feature of which is a lofty | tower, which he used for his hobby of | pigeon flying. Latterly he hid himself | n asiyeh.-London Chronicle.

 The prisoner held up his hand warn ingly.

 Just what l say. judge, repeated the prisoner, bending over SO as to get as rear as possible. Don't give it away thought I had concealed my identity from the public gaze" And he looked down over himself, half in pride, half in shame.
 This was 100 much for the judge, and. bringing the prisoner nearer. so he could tell his story confidentially, so to 10 speak. he told him to proceed.
 Well. you see, it was this away judge" said the prisoner with q Texas accent. ''when I was mustered out and begin to see what the great American people thought of us fellers that fit into he Spaniards at Santiago I seen that I I didn't do something in self-defense 1urty soon I was gcin' to be run for of ice by the party that got to me first. 1T that l was goin' to have the face <issed off of me by a string of gals a nile long, and I concluded Td iist git Ow-down, common drunk and stay that 1-way till I could git to q safe place in Texas. i've escaped up to date, and if souTl not say q word judge, but jist :hove me along west, 1 reckon I'll git pack home in fair enough shape, all :hings considered.

 Samoa is a group of II islands in the South Pacific, the chief of which are Savaii, Upolu and Tuluila. After the revolution and the consequent compli- cations in 1889 conference was held at Berlin to settle the Samoan question. At this convention Great Britain, Ger many and tke United States were repre- sented. On June II of that year an act was signed by the three powers guaran- teeing the neutrality of the islands. The citizens of the signatOry powers by this act are given equal rights of resi- dence in the islands and are guaranteed protection in their trade and property. The powers recognize the independence of the Samoan government and the free rights of the natives to elect their chief or king and to choose their own form of government. There is a supreme court. consisting of one judge, to whom all civil suits are referred and all crimes committed by natives against foreign CTS. The population of Samoa is about 34,OOO.
 After the German-British h-Ameriean agreement was signed Malietoa was elected king and reigned uninterrupted ly until his recent death. But Mataafa the deposed king, although banished to a lonely island, has never been without a strong following. By right of descent Mataafa is the lawful king. The fami- r., IL, islands. When the three powers de- cided that Mataafa should get off his throne and Malietoa should succeed him the latter protested and desired that the real king should keep his seat.

 tically all social life is at q standstill, invitations usually ending with. ''weath CT and mosquitoes permitting" The moonlight nights iE this little corner of the earth are glorious hut we have only been able to enjoy them from our front piazza steps Crce in nearl y two months, and then Cnly for brief half hour while a strong sea breeze swept in over the bay; at the sume time, friends living a mile away have sat out On the piazza, ''every evening for a While.'

FAN PAINTING.
A New Fad That VIII Be Popular with the Ladies This
 Winter.

\ new kind of fancy work is come into fashion, and it is one that is not likely to be very common. as it requires considerab ble talent. a knowledge of painting, and is, besides, very expensive work. It is the painting offans. This ;s not exactly new, for fans have been painted on parchment, paper, silk and transparent material for some time. but 1t is now the fashion to paint on vellum, parchment or Pigslin. Even better than any of these is chicken skin, but this is difficult to obtain as yet in this country. and those fans that have been finished have been painted on skins that were bought abroad.
 The fan should be of medium size. not large, but yet larger than the em- pire fan that has been fashionable for so long. The fad is to use two or three shades Of one color-for instance, blue CT brown-and the design can be min inture with scroflwork about it, some odd design in rabesGuc or Grecian pat tern. or the design on some old fan may be copied. Museums are ransacked and old books bored over to find designs that are popular to copy. Some women who arc ambitious and really have tal- ent for this sort of thing have copied the Watteau pictures; others have con tented themselves with much simpler things; and the trouble is with a very simple design that it leaves so much of the skin uncovered. and this requires most careful toning down ill coloring- most difficult piece of work-and as yet the fad is only in it's infancy, and there are not many places where this accomplishment is taught.
 After the fan is painted comes an- other difficulty; that is the mounting of 1t properly. Antique shops furnish rare specimens of carved ivory. tortoise shell and mother-of-pearI sticks. and, of course, these add greatly to the beauty of the work; but they will not always fit the design. The most successful workers buy their sticks first then have the skin cut, CT. at all events, marked out into the proper size, and then pay some attention 10 the pattern on the stick in the design that is painted. These fans make most charming we'd ding or Christmas presents, but. it must he well understood. it takes some time to finish satisfactorily, and are, as has been said, expensive. They are not good fer hard wear, but deserve q place in a e binet or on a table of fancy trifes Undoubtedly there will be d great num- Der of these turned out when they are better krown, and when women take lessons in painting. Every line of good | work will show 10 advantage, but. alas!
