Egyptian Women.

The Egyptian beasts of burden, the
camel, the OK, the donkey, have the
same patient look as the people. 1t may
not be improper to add another beast
Of burden-woman. There is the lock
of sad patience in every Egyptian wom-
ans eyes as in the melancholy river
boiling at its great task and in the race
of the camel, the donkey and the OK
They all look at you with the same ex-
preston of patience. They seem CON
tent to live, no matter what the condi'
lions of theic often wretched life-and
not DESTROYS of making change or re-
sistance. The long swing of the camel,
the measured stride of the OK or buf-
falo, the half-trot of the donkey, are
seen everywhere. The woman's face is
covered-at least her mouth is always
for no Mohammedan woman may eX-
pose her mouth to the vulgar gaze Of
passers-by. All have the same express
sion in their eyes as the camel or 9th
er animal

society woman the other day. "Some
women of wealth refused to be bother

such affairs entirely in the hands of

Hnwaiian Money Is Silver.


Comparatively few persons in the
United States are familiar with the
financial conditions in Hawaii said A.
L. Server, chief examiner of the civil
service commission, recently. Mr.. Ser
ven paid a visit TO Our new possessions
in the Pacific about year ago and he
made a pretty thorough investigation
Of affairs there.
Fewer STILL" he continued, "are ac-
quainted in figures with the amount of
coinage in circulation in Hawaii. In
1888 King Kalakaua bought up lot of
silver bullion and sent $1,0000OO werth
to the San Francisco mint, where it was
coined into dollars, half dollars, quar-
tiers and dimes of the same weight and
fneness of American silver coinage.
THE money in circulation in the Ha-
waiian islands is about $2,OOO,000. Sill
yer passes at its full coinage value any
where on the islands. OFF the islands
1t is received at about 40 cents on the
dollar. In paying debts outside the
Islands the Hawaiian people encounter
all sorts of trouble as the result of this.
''0f the silver coined at the San Fran
cisco mint" said Mr.. Server. according
10 the Washington Star, there was
$4,000 in dollars. S3J0,O0O in half dol
lars. $4,000 in quarters and $4,000 In
dimes. The people of Hawaii, includ-
ing many business men with whom
talked, were emphatic in their express
siOns that the Congress of the United
States should recognize the silver cur
zency of the territory at the same value
as American silver or should take it up
and make the coin Of the United States
the medium of exchange throughout the
islands"

REIGN OF REGENT ENDED.
Mother of Spain's King Bids Minis
tiers Farewell.


Queen Maria Christina resigned her re-
gency at Madrid on Monday. The scene
in the palace was extremely pathetic.
While the streets of Madrid were gay
with merry-pakers the mother of King
Alfonso Nh. was sorrowfully taking
leave of her ministers, and placing in the
hand of her young son the fulfillment OF
the arduous duties which she had per-
formed with much tact and zeal for more
than sixteen years.
The Queen, though only AZ years of
age, looked much older and showed
signs of deep grief and emotion, as Pre-
mier Sagasta and his cabinet entered
the grand salon in the palace for the for
NAL leave-taking. Her hands trembled
and tears flowed freely down her checks
as she signed the last royal DEGREES.
The two last DEGREES to which she aft
fixed her signature were the bestowing
of the order of the Golden Fleece on the
Duke of Cumberland and the fixing the
day on which her son will assume the
throne of Spain.
The ministers were received by the
Queen, with King Alfonso at her side.
Premier Sagasta, in his farewell speech
TO her as regent. depicted the loving con-
fidence with which she had intrusted him
and how, despite the grief of her widow
hood, she had proved herself woman
of remarkable fortitude and administra-
tive ability.
1t was some time after the Premier
finished his speech that the Queen was
able to respond. She spoke briefly and
with tremulant voice She said: Il
thank you and your colleagues for the
loyal devotion which you have shown me.
However short of my own ideal | may
have fallen, have always had the well
fare Of my country at heart, and nave
done sincerely what | could to repay the
loyalty of my councillors. | hope you
will help my son as you have helped me,
because, although the King might pos
sess natural gifts. he is still young and
needs the help of good advice"

Our next day at Hazelmount passed for
me like a troubled dream.
In the morning Paula quarreled with

the hall, close to the foot of a stairway.
Half way down these stairs small win

Lady Towers.

". Yes, she did indeed"

Paula, suavely, fixing blank stare upon
the girl, who still sat at the piano. Il

Catastrophe in Pittsburg Causes the

Two terrible disasters. killing about

four miles from the Union station. Pitts

Among them were two tank ears filed
with refined oil and one with naptha
The two oil cars, in being kicked" along
the track came together with 4 crash
wrecking one tank car and breaking a
switch light. The wrecked car sprung
leak and the oil soon flowed to the
switch light. 1t communicated TO the
tank and it blazed skyward. The heat
caused an explosion, but not of much
force.
The tra;nmen could do nothing. as the
oil spread over the ground, making it
impossible 10 reach the burning car.
About 5:15 the second tank ear contain

In tranquility about a thousand persons

About q o'clock terrific explosion rent
the naptha car asunder. which every
body had evidently forgotten about. The

naptha spread like a fountain of fire,

and as the fluid descended it fell ON The
unfortunate multitude which had come
from their homes and work and paused

Immediately there was a rush for safe

ing oil tore their clothes off their bodies.
Women were soon denuded, children
screamed. men ran hither and thither
like wild beasts. People set fire to each
other. Some crawied in the dirt, others
ran and famed the flames with wind.
Dozens of naked men beat their bodies
among the bushes seeking to relieve the
pain, others sank exhausted never to
rise again.
AT 10 O'clock the fremen had succeed
