A Marvellous Costume,

On the occasion of garden party
at Benares, given by the viceroy, a
wonderful dress was worn by the
Countess Palovolovetsch, which excit-
ed much admiration. Seen from near
at hand the gown seemed to be made
up of tongues of blue flame, with occa-
sional streaks of bright light flashing
across, and all resting on a bed of
liquid fire. Then the appearance
would change and it's wearer seemed
to be wrapped in multi-colored flame.
1t was noticed that the countess never
sat down, but was constantly on the
move. During her peregrinations a
friend asked her about her marvellous
costume, and discovered that it was a
simple gown of rich brocade, orna-
mented with fire-fies. There were 535
of these little creatures, each in a
tiny net, fastened to the dress.

1t is not given to many men to be

to tell the tale, but such was the ex-
perience of one John Bartesdale, who
was executed at York in 1884 for fell
ony After his body had hung for
nearly an hour, it was buried. A gen
tleman passing by the grave, which
had not been filled up, thought he saw
the earth move, and with the help of
his servant, he disinterred the con-
vict, who was still alive. 1t was the
custom in those days to bury suicides
and executed criminals without any
coffin. The man was carefully treated,
and entirely recovered. He became
hostler at the coaching house in York,
and lived a most exemplary life.
When asked what he could tell in re-

enced it, he replied: That when was

dart from my eyes, from which I fell
into state Of darkness and insensi-

story that went the rounds of the

been denied. A case in the east of

the observer. A gentleman who bears
the common name of Case has named
his little daughter "Ura" Case.

Korean Waiting Cards.

In Korea visiting cards measuring a

OF Dahomey announce their visits to
each other by sending in advance a
wooden board or the branch of a tree
artistically carved. When the visit is
paid the card" returns to the posses

a bunch of straw and a knife.
